Chapter 30: Marriage? Faint!
"Grandpa, grandma!" Pushing open the half-covered Yun Xiang, I saw that the yard had been cleaned, many places were pasted with big red happy words, and red lanterns were hung at the door and the moon gate leading to the west courtyard, but quietly, I knew that everyone in this family was taking a nap!
Farmers generally have no work in the winter fields, so some families will also take a break after lunch, and then the women will get up to do embroidery, and the men will pick up the outside of the house and store some firewood. After all, you still have to rely on the fire kang in winter. The winter here is not too cold, but if you don't sleep on the kang at night, you have to cover it with a two-layer quilt. A thick quilt costs one or two hundred yuan, but the kang can be used for a lifetime, and the firewood does not cost anything, you only need to spend some time to pick it up.
"It's time to wake up!" Yun Xiang heard Xiao Wu muttering, and couldn't help but tug at the corners of her mouth. In the past, it was the family who did the work, and the others might sleep until dinner if they had nothing to do.
Yun Xiang's eyes rolled, and she said to Xiao Wu, "Let's go, let's go home!" Wait until tomorrow morning. ”
"Is that the right time?" Xiao Wu was a little hesitant. Marriages here only begin at dusk. Everyone came for dinner, and the groom went straight into the cave room after toasting. Generally, the people who come to give gifts in the morning are friends and relatives who are relatively close. My own people gave what they should have given the night before. And the one who came again in the afternoon was the general relationship, purely to sit down and drink the wedding wine.
Yun Xiang pulled Xiao Wu out before saying, "Why is it inappropriate?" People don't treat us like family! Why are we cheeky and insist on sticking up? Even if we slept soundly, the sound of us screaming at the door was not small! Why can't anyone hear it? But look who's coming out? ”
Xiao Wu nodded thoughtfully, "It's true!" In the past, we worked in the yard, and when the movement was a little bigger, the second aunt or the grandmother would lift the curtain and come out and scold a few words. Today, my sister screamed so loudly, but there was no one to talk to! ”
The two went home, only told Zhou about the situation, and then went back to their rooms. Now Yunxiang lives in a west room by herself, which is convenient for her to enter the space at any time. The grain in the space has been completely harvested, and the ripe vegetables and fruits have also been put into the warehouse by Yunxiang. The two plum blossoms are blooming very well, and Yunxiang has picked a lot of flowers one after another, and is ready to start making pure natural and pollution-free cosmetics in a few days.
And what makes her most happy is that her physique has been greatly improved by bathing and drinking spiritual spring water every day, and her hands are much more sensitive. Yun Xiang's skills were completely honed in the battle of the last days, so he didn't learn it specifically, and he didn't have good-looking moves. But every move is very ruthless, without a bit of showmanship. It can be said that the moves are all killer moves.
The next day, Yun Xiang estimated the time and took Xiao Wu to the old mansion again.
"Yo, Yunxiang, are you also here to pay tribute?"
"Yes, in the end, my second uncle's cousin has a happy event, my father and mother can't go out but always remember, tighten their belts and have to prepare a gift for Brother Erlang!"
"Why are you here at this time? It's still a family after it's separated, so I should have come early yesterday. ”
"Yesterday ......" Yun Xiang looked embarrassed, and Xiao Wu replied innocently with his age, "We came here yesterday, but no one paid attention to us after shouting for a long time, and we had no choice but to go back." ”
Everyone's faces changed a little, and there were many people here who knew the inside story of the Liu family's three-room separation, and when they heard the child say this, they all had some problems with the Liu family in their hearts. An old man who doesn't even want to see his own son, who can rest assured that he can get along with them? It's too much for grandchildren to come to give gifts, but no one pays attention to them.
Yun Xiang silently praised Xiao Wu in her heart, and followed these aunts and aunts into the door. Xiao Wang saw Yun Xiang and Xiao Wu, and greeted them to the front with a smile. "Hey, the third family really has a heart, I'm going to be hungry and give us Erlang a gift! But it's a bit careless to send a kid over! ”
Yun Xiang showed a sad expression, "It's not that the second aunt doesn't know that my father can't get off the kang, and my mother has to serve my father when she is broken, so she really can't leave." It's not a matter of a day or two that we're hungry, Brother Erlang asked two days ago......"
The second half of Yun Xiang's sentence caused everyone to think about it. You have a straight heart and said quickly, "Everyone is so unhappy, what about people?" The family is hungry! There are still people who pick and choose, and some people even ask for things by themselves, which is too shameless! ”
Jiro asked at the time, and he did mean to ask for something. Xiao Wang's heart was a little weak, "I also know that your family is not having a good time, but this gift is still a serious matter, and in the future, your family will do things, and we will have to do things with the courtesy!" ”
Liu Xiu'er opened the curtain and walked in from the outside, obviously hearing the conversation inside, and said with a smile, "I'll come to see your gifts, a poor family, you can't put a basket of potatoes here, right?" I'm afraid that people won't know that you gave the gift. ”
The cloth on the basket was uncovered, and inside were ten eggs and a large piece of arrowroot. Yun Xiang said with tears in her eyes, "This is the last bit of silver left over from the last time my mother used it as a silver ring to treat me, and we were not willing to spend it, so we all bought gifts for my brother Erlang......"
"This granddaughter is sick, why does she have to be a daughter-in-law as a dowry?"
"You don't know ......"
The straightforward one said again, "Xiu'er is not small, you can say kiss in the New Year, why are you still so mean?" Not to mention that other people's gifts are thick enough, even if they really only take potatoes, it is also a friendship! ”
"It's just that it's so hard for people to live! One is lying on the kang, the other is pregnant, and the four children are still young, so it's really embarrassing......"
"You guys! You guys! Liu Xiu'er was about to argue, but was stopped by Liu Wang's who came later.
"Everyone is here to give face to our Liu family, embroidery, why don't you pour water for people?" Liu Wang's family is wearing a silk dress with a jujube red swast pattern today, and a flat hairpin is inserted on his head, which is full of rich and noble image.
Yun Xiang deliberately took Xiao Wu two steps forward and shouted 'milk'. The ridicule in the eyes of everyone is even more stark.
The old lady, the second daughter-in-law and the daughter-in-law are not dressed like the style of the Zhuang family, and it is said that everyone should be envious when they see it. But when Yun Xiang and Xiao Wu stood in front of the three of them in patched clothes, everyone despised the Liu family unspeakably.
