Chapter 471: The dowry arrives at home
The section of the road where the carriage could not enter the village was not very long, only three miles at most. The people around the door chattered and chattered, and they gathered more and more, and the people who ran to carry the dowry had already carried and carried them back.
When the big guys saw from afar, there were so many pickers, and some people pulled cows and donkeys with red cloths, and they blew up the nest.
"Ouch! Oh my mother! The cow and the donkey were tied with red cloth on their heads, and it was also a dowry together! ”
"Impossible! Whose dowry is given to Lao Niu? ”
"How not! Didn't the daughter of the old Liao family just give a big buffalo! ”
"You're really, okay, don't say it, what are you talking about his family? The in-laws are an old cow in charge, but he is hardened to do the dowry, which one doesn't say that he is black-hearted? ”
"What about the sister-in-law of the Bao family? Ah! Sister-in-law Bao! Why are you still watching here? Why don't you hurry up and set off artillery to meet it?! A woman from a neighboring village saw that the Bao family was stupidly watching the team carrying the picks, and no one was preparing for the artillery battle, so she helped them to hurry.
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Bao family saw that this Li family girl was really anxious about her, so she hurriedly smiled and comforted: "It's okay!" Big Sister Li! Look, didn't my eldest nephew come back first! My family didn't expect to come over so soon to get hired, there was nothing in the artillery battle, and I still bought it in the county seat. Those who carry the picks will go a little slower, and let my eldest nephew come back first to set off the artillery. It's all pre-arranged! And that old cow! Walking slowly, it will take a while to get to the front. ”
A gossip listening to the mother-in-law of the Bao family next to him interjected and asked, "Huh! Big nephew and daughter-in-law! Is that old cow really a dowry? ”
"yes! Auntie! I didn't let me buy it, and the two children had to say that the curator explained it before leaving. When you get here, you must buy a cow and a donkey for your family. It is said that the two girls were married, and there was less work in the family, so they gave the oxen and the donkey. Help us lighten the load. Their family is so polite! I'm worried that my daughter will not do well in the future, which will disappoint people. ”
"You can worry about it, as long as the girl is wholeheartedly good to her husband, no. Don't ask for anything else! If you frighten the two daughters, it will be bad if you don't dare to marry! ”
The fourth aunt, who was busy taking bamboo poles to pick up artillery skewers for Zhengrong who had arrived at home, and was about to set off firecrackers to welcome the dowry, did not hear her sister-in-law's words in front. After listening to the words of the aunt next door, he smiled secretly, and said in his heart: Those two girls dare not marry? Cut! People can't wait to stay there and not come back!
The procession carrying things was divided into two parts. Part of it is the things bought by the women of the Bao family and some return gifts from the Wang family. The other part is a dowry with red paper and a red cloth tied to it. The things in front of their own house entered the door, and the dowry in the back slowly entered the village, and the two men who walked in front were driving, one of whom raised his hand and set off the cannon; One has a candy bag on his chest. sprinkle candy at the crowd; The other two drivers stayed where they were for the time being, watching the carriage. One of the two people who came with him was Chen Maodong's cousin. One is Qi Zhengke's distant cousin.
Most of the children in the school, after they go out of the school and have their own jobs, will go back to their homes according to their own situation. Because it is impossible for these children to really break with their own family and not interact with each other at all, Erya will allow them to watch the family bring back the down-to-earth duty and arrange suitable things to do. This Chen Maodong's cousin and Qi Zhengke's cousin were brought out by the two of them from their own families. Although this time I came with me, although it didn't represent the male parents, it also meant to help a little.
Behind the donkey are six tea ceremonies such as wedding cakes and wedding cakes carried by the Bao family, as well as gold and silver jewelry, clothes, shoes and socks, and fabrics for the beneficial.
Behind the dowry are two mothers-in-law representing the man's parents. Behind the mother-in-law are two new sons-in-law pulling horses.
The man's artillery battle was only a thousand shots, and it crackled for a while. That's it. Then the women's family opened up to welcome the bridal gift. The artillery battle that Bao Zhengrong bought seemed to be 10,000 sounds, and Chen Maodong and Qi Zhengke, who were at the back of the team, had already entered the courtyard, and the artillery battle had not yet been released.
When they entered the courtyard, the Bao family hurriedly greeted the guests, but there was a frenzy outside: "Ouch! Oh my mother! The last two are the two objects of Zhenghua and Zhengyin, right?! looks so good, Zhenghua and Zhengyin don't match! ”
"Auntie! This can only be said quietly, how can you shout so much, Sister-in-law Bao heard it, and she still has to make trouble with you? ”
"Sister-in-law! I don't think Aunt Zhu is wrong, these two boys don't look like orphans without a family, why do they fall in love with the Bao family, these two three-slap girls can't shoot a sullen fart? How do they stand together, how do they not match, do you say that this day can be long!? ”
The sister-in-law was called a daughter-in-law of the Zhu family in the neighboring village, and the two people who talked to her were both their Zhuangzi, one was her own aunt, and the other was the daughter-in-law of a family with a foreign surname. When she heard the daughter-in-law of the foreign family say such damning words, she couldn't help but reprimand the daughter-in-law in a low voice: "How do you talk that? The two girls of her Bao family have no grievances with you, why are you cursing people so much! ”
There was a person next to him who had a bad relationship with this daughter-in-law, and then interjected to follow: "I'm not convinced!" If I want to say that I really know something about this, the third son of the Tang family didn't even get married for a month, you all know it! ”
called Aunt Zhu's interface: "I know this, isn't the Tang family in a hurry to move, and they want to get married before they move." The dowry paid ten taels of silver and didn't want the woman's family to pay a dowry, and many of them wanted to marry this family, but I didn't expect Donald Jin to pick and choose the honest Thursday girl. ”
"Humph! And what else you don't know! Didn't my eldest nephew also follow the eldest son of the old Cai family to work! He also came back for the New Year, and I heard him say that the place where they worked, thousands of people were all big men, and there were few women. As long as they see a woman, they feel that they look good, and the two girls of the Bao family don't look good in our place, but they are amazing beauties over there. ”
The crowd seemed to be in the truth: "Oh! I see! ”
For relatives like Chen Maodong and Qi Zhengke, all the speculations of these women are nonsense. The reason why they found the two sisters of the Bao family, who were not good-looking and not very smart and powerful, was because of the rules and regulations formulated by Director Shi after careful consideration for a long time.
Because they are all orphans, there are no parents to discipline them, if you find a woman who is too strong or too selfish, there is no elder to press on it, if you look down on your man and do not accept the persuasion of men, then the disaster after marriage will be immeasurable, Wang Daman's first woman is an example of Ming Huanghuang.
The women and men married by these orphans must first of all be honest and duty-free, without selfish desires. If everyone wants to make more money here in the owner, or compare more with each other and less with each other, they secretly blow the bedside wind, thinking that the owner has not done a good job here and has not done it there. Then, these children who have been raised with great difficulty will become the enemies that the Wang family has cultivated for themselves, and as the curator who educates them, they must not allow this kind of ingratitude and thousands of accusations to happen. Therefore, it is difficult for every child to be in this area, especially the understanding of inner character. This is also the reason why at the beginning, Director Shi would list the character and temper of the other party's family and close relatives.
Bao Zhenghua and Bao Zhengyin were taken by Peng You's and were willing to introduce them to Chen Maodong and Qi Zhengke, not only because these two sisters were capable, loyal, and not afraid of being dirty or tired. On the other hand, it is also because of Bao Zhengrong's character, the character of their four uncles and aunts, all of whom have been recognized by Peng You's family. Of course, Director Shi also made a corresponding analysis according to the situation of their family, and when they themselves are not doing well, they can still raise their nephews well, and such a family tutor will not be bad. As a result, the girl who seems unworthy to these people who don't know the inside story is a good daughter-in-law in the eyes of the man.
People outside speculate all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred, but inside they are full of joy, cheerfulness, excitement, and excitement. The old lady of the Bao family opened her mouth with her teeth open, looking at the two future grandsons-in-law happily, no matter how she looked at it, she couldn't get enough of it. I couldn't sit still when I saw the two young men who were originally quite thick-skinned, and I always felt that the stool was full of nails, which made it unbearable to sit on.
The two mothers-in-law who were busy with Bao Zhenghua Niang next to her, saw the old lady like that in their spare time, they were proud of their godson and straightened their waists, and they felt proud of it.
The adults were busy talking about the eight characters, discussing the future days, boiling water to make tea, slaughtering chickens and ducks, and cooking. The children carried the cloth bags brought back from Hepu Town and ran out of the gate.
Outside the gate, there was a woman who was watching the bustle, and when she saw the children straddling the cloth pockets on her chest, she exclaimed in surprise: "Roar! Why is Sister-in-law Bao so reluctant? I actually took such a good muslin cloth to make a cloth pocket for you, it seems that this bag family is really rich. ”
Little Pig is not very old, but he is smart and weird, he immediately snatched the white woman: "It's not my aunt who did it!" This is given to us by my brother Chen and my brother Qi's family, and they also filled us with full candy and didn't give it to you! ”
As he spoke, he peeled off a candied date wrapped in oiled paper and stuffed it into his mouth, and the children who were watching the excitement looked at it with their eyes. Zhengni is already sensible, and when she knows that there is a happy event in the family, she should sprinkle joy candy. Although when I first entered the Zhuangzi, I scattered a lot of candy, but many children obviously did not grab it. She went home and took out the candy that she was not willing to eat all the way, and when she left, Liao Lin helped her fill a bag full of candy, and none of them moved.
Without saying a word, she scattered two of the children alone, and the candy in the cloth pocket was scattered, but the children did not get it. She looked at Little Piggy, who was afraid that her sister was going to take his candy and scatter people, so she was so frightened that she ran home with three steps and two steps in her cloth pocket, and several of her aunt's children also ran home in a panic. When Zhengni was feeling embarrassed, Chen Maodong's cousin came out with a backpack full of candy, grabbed a handful for all the adults and children, and also filled Zhengni's empty small cloth bag firmly.
