"Xu Jia...... The Xu family is very good. Assi looked up into the distance.

"If I can be your daughter-in-law, I know it will be good, very good, very good, you and Uncle Chen have loved me since I was a child, and treated me as my daughter. But my father can't last long, Abei has to continue to study, the two of them need money to take medicine, see a doctor, and study, I can't let my mother's family drag you and Uncle Chen down. I married into the Xu family, I don't have to worry about food and clothing, I can also ask Aba to hire a good doctor, and I can also let Abei return to the school, and Baogen can also marry the girl he likes, to be honest, auntie, I have always taken Baogen Baoliang as a younger brother, the same brother as Abei. ”

"So, I'm willing to get married, my aunt said that life is lived by people, as long as the heart is right, life will always get better and better."

The early morning sun is not dazzling, but it is warm. Ah Xi stared at the round ball of redness, and finally put aside all the distractions in his heart, and persuaded Aunt Chen, as well as himself.

Aunt Chen sighed heavily and patted the back of Axi's hand: "Auntie understands, good boy, it's just bitter for you." ”

It's a little bitter.

A stupid husband, there are two married brothers and sisters-in-law above, and the good thing about marrying is that the third young grandmother is actually a playmate who plays with fools, and he has to worry about the fool's eating, drinking, and Lazar, if there is anything wrong, he will be picked on by his in-laws and set rules.

But where is the suffering?

You don't have to go from sunrise to sunset, you don't have to watch natural disasters and heavy taxes, you don't have to eat bud rice every day, you don't have to wear patched linen clothes every day, you don't have to die when you're sick, you don't have to shiver in thick cotton clothes on snowy days, you don't have to do everything yourself.

Grandma once said that nothing is perfect, and nothing is completely according to your wishes, and the more important thing is that you don't want to go through things, but you will go through it many times.

When they got home, Abba and Uncle Chen had already chatted, and Aunt Chen and Abba Song gossiped for a while, then took Ah Xi's hand and went to Ah Xi's house.

Aunt Chen opened the baggage, took out the wrapped pickled fish, and then took out a ruler.

"I know that you have a good idea, this is what my aunt bought when I went to the town a few days ago, and I made you a set of clothes, so I am going to get married, and my dowry must be prepared. When your grandma is not there, your aunt will take care of you and tell you what you need to prepare. Don't marry and make people laugh. ”

Assi's eyes were red.

I always knew that I had to prepare a dowry, but what should I prepare? Grandma eloped with Abba at the time, and she didn't tell herself what a girl needs to do when she gets married. I'm too embarrassed to ask around.

Aunt Chen smiled: "Auntie has a cousin, who is also married to a big family, at that time I didn't marry your Uncle Chen, and I followed my mother's aunt to a banquet, and those dowries really gave the bride confidence." My grandma specifically asked people what they needed to prepare. A few years ago, I went back to my mother's house, and inquired about what I need to buy a dowry now, my aunt has no daughter, and I will prepare it for you, just like preparing it for my daughter. Good boy, my aunt is illiterate, I said, you write it down, and go to the town when you have time, buy what you should buy, buy what you should play. I don't know what to do, come to my aunt, my aunt is free, I'll take you there. ”

Axi responded with a red face, found the waste paper from Abei's calligraphy, cut the uninked parts of the corners, and took Xiaohao to study the ink, and wrote it down densely.

Axi's words were taught by her grandmother, and the hairpin in her hand is very delicate, not at all like the words that a village girl can write.

Aunt Chen can't understand it, but she thinks that literate girls are very powerful. Axi's mother is literate, can recite poetry and hum songs, and is very beautiful in embroidery.

Assi bent over and half-crawled on the edge of the kang, and there were no tables and chairs in her room, and the only table and chair was in the upper room. Aunt Chen reminisced and said from memory, and changed it from time to time:

"The small pieces are: a pair of dragon and phoenix quilts, bed sheets and pillows; two pairs of copper plates and embroidered shoes; two dragon and phoenix bowls and chopsticks; The washbasin, mask, comb, and vase are all doubles; Scissors, offspring buckets, and wishful names, all bucket ......"

The more Assi wrote, the more surprised she became, it turned out that she had to prepare so many things, but fortunately, Aunt Chen was thoughtful, otherwise she would have been laughed at if she really got married after three months?

The Xu family gave a dowry of five taels of silver at that time, and he originally wanted to leave three taels for Abba and Brother, and the remaining two taels for a dowry, but later Mr. Xu gave Mr. Mu an extra tael, and this two taels of silver were for Brother's medical treatment, and he also wanted to stay.

"Two taels of silver?" Aunt Chen was taken aback, "Have a dowry of two taels of silver?" Two taels of silver can also give you a pair of earrings and a bracelet! ”

Axi was relieved at this time, not afraid that his dowry would not be enough, and he was afraid that the weight of things would be too light and cause others to gossip.

Abba Song entrusted Abei to Uncle Chen in front of Abei, and just said: "This child is also older, and I don't ask you to worry about anything else, just look at the same age, tell me a daughter-in-law, you and his aunt drink a cup of daughter-in-law's filial piety tea for me and his aunt, if there is anything to mention on the side, do the aftermath, worship the ancestors, go to the grave, with you to take care of it, I will rest assured." ”

"Brother Song, don't worry, Abei, I also watched him grow up, that is, my own son, I will also give you the scenery of your funeral, you can take medicine now, recuperate well, and live longer."

A pharmacy in Kaupaira Prefecture.

Mr. Mu gently stirred the incense burning in front of him with his hand, and the trace of gray smoke drifted to the tip of Mr. Mu's nose with the airflow.

"Well, that's it, how?" Mr. Mu closed his eyes and sniffed for a while, then suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the white-bearded old man sitting below.

"Hehe, there are five in total," the white-bearded old man stretched out a hand and gestured: "The half of the incense you smelled was successfully made when I experimented, and the rest was wrapped, and it took so much effort." When do you think it's going to be delivered? When the white-bearded old man didn't speak, he had the temperament of a high-ranking person, but when he spoke to Mr. Mu's hippie smile, he suddenly felt cheap and obscene.

"Old man Ma, it took you so long to make these five incense sticks, and you still dare to ask for credit?" Mr. Mu looked at him with a smile.

The white-bearded old man who was called Ma Old Man rolled his eyes: "Hmph, don't scare me, Ma Ye, if I am not for the little master, as for your anger, you can try it, except for my Ma Ye, who can make this incense!" Who else! ”

"Shhhh......h

Knock knock.

"Mr. Ma! Mr. Ma! ”

Someone hurried closer.
