Chapter 178: Dowry

The Lin family's fortune is booming.

There is a saying in the countryside: if the swallow makes a nest under the eaves, the family business will surely prosper.

There is a swallow's nest under the eaves of the Huang family.

There are two swallow nests under the eaves of the Lin family's old house. This time, the swallow was not only not frightened away, but instead moved to the newly built east wing house and rebuilt two mud nests, which shows how attached he is to the Lin family.

Not only that, but the Lin family also came with a tiger, and they couldn't get rid of it.

Qiusheng went up to the mountains to hunt, and even if there was a harvest, he had to carry it back with great difficulty; Since the wind came, every few days he came home from the mountains with a game in his mouth, and the family couldn't finish eating the meat, so he often gave it to his close people. Just now, Lin Chun also sent a few catties of roe deer meat to the Huang family.

In addition, the four sons of the Lin family are indeed very good and capable.

Therefore, in addition to Xia Sheng, who has already made a marriage, Qiu Sheng and Spring Sheng are closely watched, and there are not many people who come to the door to propose marriage, and many women will find a big daughter-in-law as soon as they are free, and even the twelve-year-old Dong Sheng is also remembered.

On the other hand, the Huang family, who has reached the age of saying that he is a parent, is not cared for.

Or rather, they didn't dare to come.

First of all, Du Juan said it herself, and her family Yu Niangniang had arrangements, so ordinary people didn't dare to ask for it.

Then there is the fact that the Lin and Huang families had a verbal marriage back then, and Du Juan and Lin Chun got close again, and almost no one dared to step forward. But Lin Chun is coveted, and there are many people who come to ask for relatives, which shows that men and women are very unequal in this society.

The third is that the cuckoo is too good and too strong, even the grandparents can't subdue her, so ordinary people don't dare to marry like this.

The last thing is that I want to marry someone who is self-aware. The cuckoo is a bit out of reach for them. Therefore, they did not dare to come.

Therefore, a few points, plus Huang Li released a word early to recruit a son-in-law. The Huang family is full of birds, and the two flower-like daughters are hard to be cared for.

Feng doesn't care, anyway, she doesn't look down on ordinary people.

She felt that this village full of boys, except for Lin Chun and Jiu'er, really couldn't find someone worthy of the cuckoo, but she wondered why the Lin family didn't come to the door to propose. Seeing that Lin Datou and his daughter-in-law were affectionate to the cuckoo, and they didn't look like they wanted to get married, she was puzzled.

However, the cuckoo told her that her marriage Yu Niangniang had other arrangements and told her to leave it alone. Ask what the arrangement. The cuckoo didn't say anything, but only said that he would know the Tao when the time came.

She looked at the two little girls, they were like flowers, and she was relieved, and she was not worried that they would not be able to marry. If they really can't find a good one in the mountains, they ask their grandfather to find a good family outside the mountain.

And what about the son......

Thinking of this, she pursed her lips and smiled, lowered her head and pulled the thread hard.

The mother and daughter are making dowries for Huang Que'er.

The household utensils of the Lin family are all fully made, and they are very delicate and beautiful. Even if the Huang family bothered, they couldn't do anything better, so after discussion, everyone decided: do more needlework, which is exactly what the Lin family lacks. Other household appliances do not need to be accompanied by faces.

So in the past few years, the Huang family has successively purchased fabrics and saved cotton, taking advantage of their free time. Little by little, the mother and daughter bought bedding pillowcases, tablecloths, chair covers, pillows and other things for Huang Queer and Xia Sheng, and now they have saved a lot.

Clothes, shoes and socks have only been made this year. Because Xia Sheng and Huang Que were still young before. I'm still growing tall, if it's too early. When the time comes, you can't wear it, it's a waste of effort.

The dowries of the Huang family, let's say they are not worth much, they are really worthless, they are all ordinary cotton cloth, and some of them are also made of silk cloth; There are many fur clothes, all of which are made of silk cloth, fox skins and other animal skins as linings, and there are jackets, shoulders, scarves, big coats, etc., and the landlords and rich families may not be able to have them.

The mother and daughter were busy and laughing at the same time.

After doing it for more than an hour, Huang Li couldn't stand it anymore, got up to get food, and poured tea for everyone, so that everyone could also take a breath and eat something.

Feng Shi also put down the soles of his shoes and went to the kitchen to stir-fry the roe deer meat stewed in the pot. After tasting a piece of meat, I felt that it was almost rotten, so I took out all the heat in the stove and simmered it on the bottom fire, so that I could eat it at dinner.

At this moment, Aunt Feng Mingying came.

Holding a dark red oil-paper umbrella, holding a small basket on his arm, and holding Xiao Yuanqing in one hand, he approached from the rain and fog, like a painting. Seeing the cuckoo's mood, he couldn't open his eyes.

Huang Li hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Yuanqing, I was thinking about you." ”

Xiao Yuan shouted crisply: "Sister Huangli, Sister Cuckoo, Sister Queer!" "The little appearance of intimacy, as if she hasn't seen her for many days, in fact, she is still eating breakfast at Huang's house.

Feng Mingying walked up to the eaves of the porch, took the umbrella, and said with a smile: "She was talking to her cousin at home, and her brother refused to write well, so I took her out." ”

The cuckoo brought a bench, Feng Mingying sat down, took out a piece of clothing from the sewing basket and sewed it with his head down.

Just as he was laughing, another figure came outside the hospital, but it was the big-headed daughter-in-law.

She hurried in, without even an umbrella, hunched slightly, holding a sole in her hand, afraid of being wet by the rain, so she protected it.

Feng Shi looked amused and said loudly: "What are you busy with?" If you don't use an umbrella, you have to wear a hat. It's raining, I'm sick, I'll see if you can run! ”

The eldest daughter-in-law rushed to the eaves of the porch in three steps and two steps, let out a long breath, and while dusting the water droplets on her body with her hands, she smiled and said, "Just a few steps, what are you doing with that matter." It's so easy for me to sneak out and think about this and that, and I don't have to go out. ”

And everybody laughed, saying that they were busy like this.

Feng Mingying said: "Why are you still out so busy?" If it weren't for the soles of your shoes in your hands, I would have thought you were here to do something urgent, but I didn't think you were here to hang out and do needlework. ”

The eldest daughter-in-law sat down on the stool handed by the cuckoo, and said, "If I come out when I'm done, I won't think of it in my life." It's not his father yet, look at me so tired that I can't straighten my waist, and said ruthlessly, don't worry about it, you just go out for a walk, don't rush back to make dinner, see if these boys are hungry to death! As soon as I thought about it, I came out. I haven't even washed the dishes. ”

The crowd laughed.

The cuckoo looked at the old face of the big-headed aunt and couldn't bear it.

Over the years. The mother is much more radiant than her.

It can be seen that there are many sons, and they are really worried and tired.

She smiled and said, "Auntie, in fact, you don't have to bother cooking and stir-frying a lot of vegetables." There is meat at home. Bring a large pot to a boil and mix some dried vegetables with a piece to simmer. That's enough. The same goes for green vegetables, when they are half-cooked, pour the cooked meat into it, and cook it for a while. It is enough to have these two pots of vegetables for dinner. ”

The eldest daughter-in-law hurriedly smiled: "I'll burn it like this now." Put a piece of everything, boil a big pot, and forget it if you don't eat it. How can I have the time to fry like you, like this, and that. ”

As she spoke, Huang Que'er lowered her head slightly and brought a cup of tea.

She hurriedly took a sip while looking at the prospective daughter-in-law. Calculate when you will be able to marry into the door.

Suddenly, seeing that Feng and Huang Que'er had large-sized shoes on their hands, and Du Juan was also embroidering a big red pillowcase, they understood that they were preparing a dowry for Huang Que'er, which would be sent to the Lin family in the future, and immediately smiled from ear to ear.

Three women in one play, all of them have children, and they are in-laws, and the Feng family has endless words and things.

Sister Cuckoo only had to listen, and teased Xiao Yuanqing to talk and have fun.

I did it for a while. The cuckoo looked up and saw that it was getting more and more foggy outside.

Her heart moved, and she put down her needle and thread and ran away.

He took a hat under the eaves and put it on, and walked along the bluestone path at the edge of the courtyard to the east courtyard wall. This bluestone slab was cut by Xia Sheng. It is spread in the center of the yard and on the four sides, forming a "field" character, in order to walk on rainy days. You won't step on the mud of the dojo.

When I walked to the courtyard wall, the green came to my face. Forced into the eye.

The sisters planted many honeysuckles along the courtyard wall and climbed all over the walls. One to spring and summer. The three courtyard walls are completely covered with green climbing vines, and the white and golden trumpet-like flowers, pairs and clusters, bloom extraordinarily vigorously and have a pleasant fragrance.

The most planted under the root of the wall is Yueji, and there are also a few canna plants in the corner, impatiens and purple jasmine, but no one cares about them, and they are left to fend for themselves.

At this season, the honeysuckle and the moon season are in bloom, and the canna has just pulled out its tender green leaves, which are slowly stretched out by a roll, and the impatiens and purple jasmine plants have just grown.

All the plants, washed by the drizzle, show a dripping green and green, and the flowers are also extraordinarily delicate, tearful dew, unlike when it rains heavily, they are scattered by the rain.

Looking at this green, the mood is also green!

The cuckoo is not just about elegance, and in a few days, she will be planting lentils and pumpkins under the wall. When the time comes, lentils also climb the wall and compete with the honeysuckle. As soon as the purple lentil flowers fall, they produce lentils like a crescent, which can be picked at will. Pumpkin vines spread along the roots of the walls, picking up the large leaves, and finding pumpkins is her favorite thing to do.

Seeing her come out to let off steam, Huang Li couldn't help but lead Xiao Yuanqing and ran over.

Because the pink moon flowers are pure and with crystal dewdrops, the cuckoo loves it very much, pinched two of them, and put them on the heads of the yellow bird and Xiao Yuanqing respectively.

The big-headed daughter-in-law looked at it and smiled: "The little girl doll likes flowers and grass." ”

After finishing speaking, Dong Sheng shouted in the courtyard wall next door: "Mother, my aunt is here." ”

She was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Which aunt?" ”

Dongsheng replied: "Auntie." There are also Cousin Xiaofang and Cousin Xiaolian. ”

"Oh, here we are!" When the eldest daughter-in-law heard about it, she hurriedly inserted the needle into the sole of her shoe, tied the thread, got up and walked out, "Do you say that I am not blessed, it is easy to sneak out for a while, and there are people at home again." It's only been a while! ”

Feng Mingying smiled: "Why is it not blessed, isn't this a ready-made helper." ”

The eldest daughter-in-law ran away in a hurry and didn't answer.

Feng Mingying smiled at Feng Shi in a low voice: "Here we go again!" ”

Blinked, giving Feng a look of incomprehension.

Feng Shi looked at the cuckoo standing in the rain and sighed secretly.

Lin Chun's aunt brought her daughter and niece to help her sister-in-law. Because the Lin family is about to start building a house, there is a lot of cooking and washing work every day, and the sister-in-law is a woman, and she is really tired.

Of course, there are other thoughts. (To be continued......)
