When Lu Zhong, the prospective father-in-law, told Yu Liang to hurry up and prepare the dowry, he was still embarrassed, how could the prospective father-in-law go to the prospective son-in-law's house to urge the next hire, but Mrs. Lu was critically ill and was anxious to ask Mr. Zhou to help set the wedding date.

Yu Liang was also taken aback, not that he didn't want to marry Xiaoyi early, but that he had been busy building a new house since he proposed, and he had planned to wait for the spring to bloom and then prepare for the dowry ceremony. The door, now the plan was suddenly disrupted, and he was so anxious that he scratched his head.

Lu Zhong coughed, and took out a dowry list embarrassedly, "This is what I asked Xiao Geng to write for you, our dowry here is roughly like this, you go to Qi Shan for help, and when you are ready, hurry up and get hired!" ”

Yu Liang nodded, went into the house to change into clean clothes, and quickly entered the city with the money.

Lu Zhong went to Dr. Wu's house again, inquired about Mrs. Lu's condition, and after careful consideration, he decided to wait for the rest of the grain to be hired before asking Mr. Zhou to come over for a date.

Saying that Yu Liang entered the city and explained his intentions to Qi Shan, Qi Shan stretched out his hand to take the gift list, pretending to look at it, Yu Liang secretly complained, and said in his heart: Uncle Qi, what are you pretending to be illiterate! I'm in a hurry here!

Qi Shan frowned anxiously when he saw the always calm Yu Liang, laughed, and returned the gift list to Yu Liang, "I read it, I don't know many words." ”

The surplus grain was already anxious, Qi Shan delayed the time like this, and read the gift list very quickly, Qi Shan shouted: "What are you doing, you can wait for twenty years, you can't wait for a while?" You, I saw that you were still a little patient. Now it's also a rush to look at it! ”

The corners of Yu Liang's mouth twitched slightly, and he smiled bitterly: "Uncle Qi, the situation is urgent." ”

Qi Shan stood up and said to Qi Feng: "Go and bring enough money." He said to Xu Wu again: "Go and drive the car, Yifu City is so big, and you are worried that you can't purchase a gift list?" ”

"Uncle Qi, I've brought silver." The surplus food hurriedly gave the money.

Qi Shan glared at him, "I brought my money, do you care about it?" ”

The surplus grain did not entangle with Qi Shan, and waited for Xu Wu to drive the carriage out. The group began to buy dowry in the city.

A pair of large candles, two bouquets of incense, and two loads of wedding cakes. A pair of chickens, two big fish, two pig hind legs, four-color joycloth, four jars of wine. Four-color sugar. Four-colored fruit. Four kinds of tea, four colors of rice grain, four bags of beans of various colors and ten taels of dowry.

The dowry was ready, and Qi Shan went to pick up the matchmaker again. The group hurriedly roared towards Lu's house.

The surrounding villagers heard that the Yu family was on the boy. The subordinates were hired, and they all came to watch, with a smile on their faces, but in fact, they looked at all kinds of dowries with a critical eye.

Fortunately, Lu Zhong's gift list for the surplus grain is a standing dowry for ordinary people in Xiaxi Village, and it is not outstanding or shabby, so it will not cause criticism if it is ordinary and normal.

Yulan was also satisfied, and returned the big candle incense, half of the wedding cake, one chicken, one fish, and the meat and bones of the hind legs, and then added the groom's dress, four seasons clothes, hats, shoes and socks as a return gift, and then prepared a table of delicious food, and the next appointment was completed.

Lu Xiaoyi was locked in the house by Yulan, and asked her to avoid seeing Yu Liang before getting married, Lu Xiaoyi nodded with a bitter face, and as soon as Yulan left, she looked out from the window, and the dowry was placed in the courtyard, accepting the evaluation of the neighbors, Yu Liang and Qi Shan and others accepted the return gift from the Lu family with a smile.

Lu Xiaoyi also saw Shen Qiang standing in the crowd, looking at everything in front of him angrily, and when Yulan was dividing the cakes, he rushed over to push down the neatly overlapped cakes, and then ran away with a smoke.

The pagoda-like wedding cakes used to be in a mess are now in a mess, but fortunately, the wedding cakes are packed in the burden and are not scattered on the ground.

Although Yulan was angry in her heart, she could only laugh and scold because of the happy day of her next hire: "Look at this fat man, I haven't shared the wedding cake yet, he is anxious to eat it." So he gave the scattered cakes to the neighbors. The custom of sharing the wedding cake in Xiaxi Village is not only to declare to relatives and friends that the daughter of the family is going to get married, but also to pass on the joy to relatives and friends and thank them for their blessings.

As soon as the dowry was over, Yulan and Lu Zhong were relieved, and Lu Zhong hurriedly went to Zhoujiatuo to invite Mr. Zhou.

The wedding date of Lu Xiaoyi and Yu Liang is set for August 16 next year, and the wedding date of Lu Bingyu and Miss Sun is set for August 26 next year, a difference of 10 days.

Maybe Xiao Ding's prayer worked, maybe the auspicious day set by Mr. Zhou was too late, and Mrs. Lu actually survived the cold winter, like the withered grass that had been moistened by the spring breeze and spring rain, and was rejuvenated.

The Lu family spent the New Year in a low-key manner because of Mrs. Lu's critical illness, and after the year, seeing Mrs. Lu's spirit getting better day by day, they all spit out the depression that had been pent up in their hearts for many days. It's just that this ease is not complete, and there is a faint worry, and no one knows when Mrs. Lu will fall again.

Yulan was very satisfied with the date of August 16, she thought that she would marry a daughter in the first month, but now Mr. Zhou has pushed the date to August, and there is an extra eight months of preparation period, and the dowry can be prepared slowly.

When Jia Wei got married, Lu Xiaoyi only felt that the dowry was complicated, and when she saw her cousin's dowry, she could only describe it as complicated, only Aunt Qing's dowry was less.

Looking at the family background from the dowry, there is indeed some truth.

Although Lu Zhong's family is not a wealthy family, Xiaofu can still be regarded as a wealthy family, and the dry food business has been stable and profitable over the years, and they have also saved some money, so when preparing Xiaoyi's dowry, Lu Zhong and Yulan are particularly willing.

In the past six months, Lu Xiaoyi watched Lu Zhong and Yulan successively buy large and small dowries for her, ranging from tables, chairs, cabinets, cabinets, boxes, shelves, stools, dressers, toilets, foot basins, and buckets; Small to cups, plates, bowls, cups, chopsticks, spoons, scissors, needles, threads, grates, mirrors, combs, rulers, buckets, scales, abacus; There are also bedding, quilt covers, sheets, pillowcases, clothes, hats, shoes, socks, plus silver jewelry and pressed box money.

Big and small, big and small, from daily life to daily life, are all necessary things to live at home, no wonder Lu Pozi opened her mouth and closed her mouth to lose money and goods, and it does cost some money to complete these things.

Of course, this bit of silver is completely drizzle compared to large households, although there is no silk and satin, pearl and jade gold silk, field Zhuangzi, servants and high-end furniture, but with reference to the specifications of peasant households, this is already a very decent dowry.

Mrs. Lu added a pair of silver bracelets to Xiaoyi, plus two quilts, Mrs. Lu was dazzled and couldn't embroider the quilt, Lu Si's daughter-in-law was not willing to embroider, and the two sets of quilts and pillowcases for adding makeup were still sent by Jia Wei embroidered by someone, no matter what, Jia Wei can do this, Lu Xiaoyi is already very content.

In addition, Mrs. Lu privately stuffed Xiao Yi with a pair of silver hairpins, and told Xiao Yi to be quiet, because she no longer had silver hairpins to add makeup to Xiao Ding or Xiao Feng.

The Yang family added two quilts to Xiaoyi, and Chunyun embroidered two pairs of pillowcases. Su Qing sent two quilts, Zhang Tieniu gave two washboards, I don't know what the intention is, as well as the makeup of my grandfather's family, plus some small embroideries sent by Xiaoding, Magpie and Chunhua, Lu Xiaoyi feels that he doesn't need to embroider quilts and pillowcases in this life, and he doesn't need to buy cloth to make new clothes.

Lu Xiaoyi even thought that if she lived with a buckle and rope like Fang Lizheng, and hoped that her daughter would marry in the future, she didn't need to buy any of this, she only needed to give her half of her dowry, and proudly told her: "Oh, when your mother got married, she also earned your dowry." ”

Of course, it is unknown whether her future daughter will dislike the discolored fabric she has pressed at the bottom of the box for more than ten years.

Liu Bao sent a gourd ornament to Xiaoyi, and brought the Xiaogong lamp sent by Shen Qiang by the way, Lu Xiaoyi thanked Liu Bao, and asked him to bring words of thanks to Shen Qiang.

With the dowry being completed and completed, and as relatives came to add makeup one by one, Lu Xiaoyi's wedding date was imminent.

For most of the year, she has spent in happy or sad emotions, compared to the wedding day, the last stage of the pre-marriage stage of the emotion is the most delicate and complex, there are too many relief and perception of the past, there are too many longing and worries for the future, tension, anxiety, fear is about the so-called premarital phobia!

Fortunately, Xiao Ding accompanies him from time to time, talking and talking about his heart, and Xiao Geng, a little scholar, who does not study hard in his study when he comes back from school, but comes to his sisters' rooms to read, pretending to be very serious, but actually listening to the conversations of his sisters.

What made Lu Xiaoyi 'angry' the most was Xiaorui, a little chubby baby who had just turned three years old, and was happier than anyone else when she heard that her eldest sister was going to marry out and not live at home.

It can be said that the entire Lu family is in the reluctance to marry a daughter, but Xiaorui is the only one who applauds and celebrates, and the eldest sister who has rubbed him for three years is finally leaving, which is really happy. The little doll didn't know how to hide her feelings, and when she saw Lu Xiaoyi, she applauded and smiled: "It's good to get married!" It's good to get married! ”

As a result, Xiao Rui attracted the most inhumane rubbing in history, if it wasn't for Lu Pozi to come to the rescue, Xiao Rui would definitely be played bad by the bad sister.

Mrs. Lu glanced at Lu Xiaoyi and reprimanded her: "The person who is going to get married, and he still bullies Xiaorui like this, believe it or not, I pulled off a few hairs on your head." ”

Lu Xiaoyi stretched his head over and said arrogantly: "Pull, pull!" If she is bald, she will go to the nunnery to be a sister-in-law. ”

Mrs. Lu really reached out and grabbed the scattered hair on her neck, "You are stupid to me, I will pull your hair, it is enough to pull a bald areata." ”

Lu Xiaoyi didn't expect that Mrs. Lu would dare to do it, and exaggerated the pain and forgiveness.

Mrs. Lu was not soft-hearted, and said: "If you don't give you a fear of the game, you are a sick cat when you are a tiger!" ”

Lu Xiaoyi looked at Xiao Rui for help, who knew that Xiao Rui was not like Xiao Geng back then, and would take the initiative to help the eldest sister out of the siege, but instead fell into the well, "Grandmother, I also have to pull my hair." ”

Lu Xiaoyi made all kinds of threatening grimaces at Xiao Rui, but Xiao Rui ignored them all, and had to come to pick his hair, but when he really grabbed the hair in his hand, he didn't exert any force, but spread it in the palm of his hand to blow and giggle, "Scare you." ”

Lu Xiaoyi really loves and hates Xiaorui, thinking that after getting married, he will miss the years of growing up with Xiaorui, and he can't help but feel sad again, "Good Xiaorui, if you think of your eldest sister in the future, you will come to the mountain to find me." ”

Xiao Rui looked at Xiao Yi with a sheep's eyes, "Don't come, don't come, marry away, it's good!" ”

Lu Xiaoyi was angry, and he couldn't wait to hug Xiaorui over and bite it. (To be continued.) )
