22. 'Lively' wedding

Although Cheng Linghui and Xiuwen's marriage is fake, it is also done solemnly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe people in the village were not surprised at all, Cheng Linghui suddenly became a boy. Many aunts and aunts still look like they take it for granted, with four big words written on their faces: "I'll just say it." ”

Looking back at Cheng Linghui's life for nearly 16 years. From the moment he could walk, he sat on the end of his grandfather's burden and followed his grandfather and father to the ground. If you can run, you can follow a large group of boys from the village to play around. Like mud, catching rabbits, and climbing trees and walls, she is no less than her. Bigger ones put livestock, mow grass, smoke spinning tops, and do artillery battles. Gang up a bunch of boys to carry the pot and pick coal. The most important thing is that she went to Gusu Academy for four or five years.

Going to school is a luxury in the village. Only those whose families are there will send their children there. Most of them are also in the last year or two, and if you don't open your eyes and be blind, forget it. Like Cheng Linghui, who has been on the road for four or five years without trying to make a name for himself, there is no one in the four miles and eight townships. Who is willing to let a girl not work like this and spend money? Besides, the academy has never heard of accepting female students.

Thinking about it this way, the reaction of the people in the village is really not surprising. Cheng Linghui really didn't do much like a girl.

My mother was also very happy. It's as if she's really raising a son. My mother's illness was originally a heart disease. When the mood is good, the disease will naturally be cured without medicine. When he came out and went in, he straightened his waist in front of his neighbors and spoke loudly. There is a smile on his face all day long. Even the eyes seem to be much better. You can see the window shears.

Shaxi County marries a daughter-in-law. Choose a good day a few days in advance and ask all the people in the neighborhood to sew quilts for the newlyweds. This is what everyone is most willing to do. A large group of women were happy, talking and laughing, and they did their work. At noon, I took care of the rice, and I had a candy before leaving.

The mother dug out the quilt that had been embroidered at some point from the bottom of the box, and the eyes of the women who had come to help almost sparkled. There are a hundred little people on the hundred sub map, all with noses and eyes and eyes, vividly. Mandarin ducks play in the water, and the flowers bloom vividly. The four horses (traditional handloom configuration. There are two horses and four horses. The quilt surface is even smoother, and there is not even a thread.

It was only at this time that Cheng Linghui realized that her mother's ingenuity far exceeded her imagination.

The house is ready-made. It's the Westinghouse where the eldest sister used to live. Grandpa asked a few uncles and uncles and brothers who were lucky enough not to be conscripted to help. The roof was framed with flattened reed poles. It was made of dyed hemp paper paste to make a stuffing lining (equivalent to the current ceiling. )。 The interior walls were repainted with lime. The exterior walls are painted grayish-blue with coal washing water mixed with cinder mixed liquid. The window lattice is painted dark green, pasted with snow-white hemp paper, and then pasted with red and bright window flowers, which is particularly festive.

Shi Niang originally intended not to be extravagant, but she has always had no idea and seems to be an invisible person, so her mother is very resolute this time. I have to kill the two big fat pigs raised at home to prepare for the New Year. In the end, it was the grandmother who came out, so it was easy to say that it was replaced by killing one head and keeping the other.

The standard of living in the old society was generally not high. Marrying a daughter-in-law and killing a fat pig to make a banquet is very rich. Many families often have to sell some meat, and if they can't sell it, they have to pickle some and keep it for later. But the mother didn't, she took the whole pig to entertain relatives and friends. Through this marriage, all the relatives who have not moved for many years have been notified. The look of raising eyebrows made Cheng Linghui feel funny and sad.

As the old saying goes, nothing is done, and honesty does not deceive me.

On the day of marriage, there was a lot of joy inside and out. No one expected an unpleasant vignette.

As mentioned earlier, Cheng Linghui's grandfather and brothers. Grandpa has only one son on his father's side. There are no male children in the grandchildren. Her grandfather had three sons. can't stand the daughter-in-law's belly and is not angry. There is only one male grandson in the big bolt.

The big bolt is twenty-three years old this year. In order to keep him during the conscription, the eldest grandfather almost didn't sell a few girls from the second and third families. For this reason, the two aunts had a very quarrel with Grandpa Cheng Linghui. But in the old society, women had no right to speak. If you can't give birth to a son, you have no status. Although he kept his daughter, he still suffered a lot of grievances.

It should also be the daughter-in-law of the big pillar who is rampant. She married into her in-law's family and gave birth to two sons in a row. I feel that I have more weight than a few aunts. Everything must be overwhelmed. At home, the eyes are in heaven.

In her heart, all the property in the family will be hers in the future, including Cheng Linghui's family, which has no men. Who knew that there was a Cheng bite gold halfway through. Cheng Linghui changed from a girl to a boy overnight, and she has to get married.

If you get married, you can get married, that scene is much more decent than when you were back. When I saw those quilts again, it was as if someone else had pulled her flesh raw.

You can't blame this woman for her shallow eyelids. It's really a marriage in the countryside, and there is nothing good except for a few quilts.

This woman hated in her heart, and she couldn't sound good when she spoke: "I heard that there is a child who was raised as a girl, and when he grows up, he doesn't like women." Marrying a daughter-in-law is also in vain. ”

The mother was not happy when she heard this. She has been a man with her head down for so many years, and she has been angry. In the past, there were a lot of talkers, but today I can't bear it. turned his face on the spot: "Why are you talking as a sister-in-law?" ”

There was nothing to say about it, but it couldn't stop the woman from being used to it on a daily basis. Suddenly, as if he had been greatly wronged, he shouted, "Let me tell me what's wrong?" What is your heart empty? ”

Mother was angry: "I just don't allow you to say that about my Sanhui." ”

How could the woman show weakness: "Who knows if there is anything wrong with the child who was raised as a girl?" I'm just telling the truth. I'm afraid that you will be green in the future, and you will be stupid to raise children for others. You can afford to lose someone, but our old Cheng family can't afford to lose this person. These words were vicious, and they made my mother, who was not good at words, tremble with anger.

Mother's mother's descendants are gone. My aunt and grandmother suffered such a New Year's white eye because they didn't have a son, and they finally managed to keep the clouds open and see the moon, and they had to be scolded by their nephews and daughters-in-law. There is no such reason in the world.

Grandma didn't do it anymore, and pulled the eldest grandmother to ask her to give herself an explanation.

Grandpa was still a little anxious about the big bolt in his heart. After all, there is only one male in the two families. But when I heard the words of the daughter-in-law, I couldn't help but get angry. Although the men's and women's seats are separated, they are just a little distance between the inside and outside of the house. The women in the house made a fuss, and the men outside certainly couldn't sit idly by. Each persuaded his mother-in-law to stop, and the steward comforted him with persuasion, and the trouble subsided.

However, since then, the mother and the daughter-in-law have not interacted with each other. The eldest grandmother is naturally towards her daughter-in-law. In addition, she has always regarded Cheng Linghui's property as her own. For Cheng Linghui, the son who suddenly became a conjure, he also felt very sorry for him. The two families gradually drifted apart. Of course, that's all for later.

Cheng Linghui got married in the name of the Cheng family's boy, so she naturally wanted to inform her second brother-in-law and Chang Jiwen. However, Chang Jiwen was not at home and could not come. Master Chang sent someone to send a bed quilt according to common sense. The fine satin surface on the quilt, the snow-white silk lining, the set is flat and thick. It's rare in the countryside.

The second sister came the day before they got married. He was still dressed in the clothes he had made when he got married. only took a quilt, which was still the worst of the original dowry. The second sister was embarrassed and didn't dare to look at her family. Cheng Linghui saw the black green mark on the back of her neck, and she was angry and distressed. On the day of marriage, I couldn't help but ignore my second brother-in-law's family.

It stands to reason that the brother-in-law can become a sister and brother-in-law. The second sister's parents-in-law, sister-in-law, and brother-in-law all came. A large family of people comes empty-handed, even if it is counted. The second sister's mother-in-law still has to make a superior appearance. Even the lame second brother-in-law spoke in a rough voice, looking very proud.

The uncle, who is also the son-in-law of the Cheng family, can't stand it. In public, he took out a Western pocket watch from his bosom and put it on the table in charge of registering gift money. said loudly: "Sanhuizi couldn't sleep for a few days when he was happy to marry his aunt. I'm an uncle and I don't have anything to do. This watch is for him to play with. ”

My uncle's family lived in Walnut Ping, thirty miles away. The family also has some assets, but it can't be compared with the Ding family in Zhuanshui City. The Ding family is one of the best squires. My uncle's family can only be regarded as a rich man.

The second brother-in-law's family is so arrogant, no one with a discerning eye can see that it is their own girl who is an aunt and grandmother for the Ding family.

The men's seats are in the courtyard. After the uncle finished speaking, he looked at the second brother-in-law. The meaning is obvious: "Don't you have it?" What do you give? The male guests in the courtyard also looked at the second brother-in-law. But the second brother-in-law didn't seem to find out. His eyes were full of the watch. I can't wait for a hand in my eyes to take that watch for myself. Everyone looked at it with disdain.

Cheng Linghui saw it, and she sneered in her heart. The second brother-in-law took advantage of people's inattention and rubbed to her side: "Sanhui, shall we discuss something?" ”

"Say." Cheng Linghui didn't bother to pay attention to him.

The second brother-in-law said: "Borrow that watch for two days?" ”

Cheng Linghui knew his idea of playing that watch, but he didn't expect him to be so impatient, and Tian shamelessly came to ask him. She was angry but happy: "Second brother-in-law, are you borrowing Jingzhou for me to play Liu Bei?" ”

The second brother-in-law said, "What do you mean?" ”

Cheng Linghui sneered: "What do you say? He walked to the table, picked up the watch, and returned it to his uncle.

Western watches are a rarity. If my uncle hadn't really looked down on the appearance of his second brother-in-law, he wouldn't have taken it out. Cheng Linghui gave it to him, and he took it back after two excuses. The second brother-in-law was anxious: "Sanhuizi, are you stupid?" How can the fat that reaches the mouth spit out? "Then he will cut his flesh with whomever he is.

Cheng Linghui really wanted to go over and punch him in front of him. Fortunately, the fifth master stopped her beside her.

The second brother-in-law's family struggled until the guests were gone, and they didn't leave. The second sister's mother-in-law was even more openly and secretly revolving around the leftover meat and vegetables. The mother felt sorry for the second sister and was afraid that she would go back and suffer. I took a jar and filled it with a jar for the second brother-in-law to carry. The family dragged out at this time. Cheng Linghui waited for them to go away, and there was nowhere to vent her anger. Kicked on the stone pier in the doorway. The fifth master looked at the stone pier and said, "This leg skill is not worse than your grandfather." ”

Grandpa asked, "What leg work?" When I walked over, I saw that the stone pier had been kicked in the middle. Grandpa's face sank and he looked up at the fifth master. The fifth master knew that he was speechless, and said repeatedly: "It's not early, I'm leaving." ”

Grandpa said, "I'll send you off." "Follow the fifth master and leave.

Cheng Linghui had a bad instinct and followed him all the way. I saw my grandfather chasing after the fifth master from a distance. The fifth master's skills are not ordinary sensitive. Cheng Linghui watched quietly for a while, and felt that the fifth master probably wouldn't be able to suffer much loss, so he went back.

She was afraid that her grandfather would come back and ask her about martial arts. I don't care about getting angry when I get home. If you go headlong into the Westinghouse, you won't come out. provoked a joke from the uncle and aunt who helped clean up the tables, chairs and benches in the yard.

However, what should come is destined to be hidden.
