Chapter 47: Xue Linjing recruited
It's just that since these days, Old Man Xue has always opposed this and that, and in the end, he didn't oppose it, and he had a rather unreasonable impression in the eyes of everyone.
In addition, Xu is his opposition was ignored much in the end, and it became natural to get used to it, and it was not accepted this time.
The format of the wedding was thus decided.
In this regard, the Zhang family also has some opinions, and their family is not a small family, and they feel that such a wedding behavior has lost the face of their Zhang family.
But the Xue family insisted on this, and because they were in a hurry to let their son out, they were weaker, and finally had to agree.
Although it was not as intended by the Zhang family in this regard, the Xue family's preparations for this wedding were very sufficient, which somewhat saved the face of the Zhang family.
On the day before Xue Linjing's wedding, Xue Langjing deliberately went to the mountains to look for medium and large prey to prepare more meat for tomorrow's wedding banquet.
Fortunately, as luck would have it, she came across a wild boar and a roe deer, and of course some other scattered prey, and of course she did not sell them when she was done, but got them all back, and stayed up late that night to slaughter them all.
On the day of the wedding, the Xue family rarely stopped classes for a day, and the Xue family got up early to prepare for the wedding banquet.
Early in the morning, the courtyard and kitchen of the Xue family were in full swing, and the hares, ducks, pheasants, goats that had been raised for several months, and yesterday's wild boar roe deer were all waiting for this day.
Oh, by the way, there are also more wild vegetables that Xue Langjing dug up in the mountains a few days ago, and vegetables that were specially purchased by other people's houses.
And to be able to agree to use so much meat and vegetables for the wedding banquet, it is conceivable that Grandma Xue, who usually has to feel distressed for a long time even if her granddaughters eat a few more pieces of meat, was persuaded by everyone to give up a lot of money.
Finally came to the day of her marriage, Xue Linjing was called up early in the morning to freshen up, dress up, put on wedding clothes and follow the team to Zhang's house to welcome relatives, and Xue Langjing, who had a rare day off, was also mixed with the sisters' retirement and went to Zhang's house together.
After a town, it has to go all the way to the lively past, so you can't take a shortcut, the greeting team went straight for an hour before coming to Zhang's house, and when you arrive at Zhang's house, it is a large string of etiquette before taking the groom back, and then it is to worship the church, and then toast.
In ordinary weddings, even if it is a wedding, the groom comes alone, and the bride sits in the wedding room, wearing a wedding dress and covering her head, waiting for the groom to come back and lift her head after the toast.
And because of Xue Langjing's insistence, their wedding became a toast between husband and wife, and it was rare to see a bride who did not cover her hijab and came out to toast, but it made everyone look strange, saying how the Xue family always did some rare things.
After the toast, it is time to enter the cave room.
Before entering the cave room, the health manual that Xue Langjing had bought from Wang Qingshu, the shopkeeper of the medicine hall, had a purpose again.
After buying this manual, Xue Langjing naturally flipped through it, and after reading the manual, she realized why it was considered an obscene book by the people.
In addition to various introductions to the human body, there are even many spring palace pictures! He even taught newlyweds about the problem of having sex on candle nights in the cave room.
Although this matter is an unspeakable boudoir secret for ordinary people, it has to be said that if the newcomers know more things, it will definitely be a good thing for them, especially women, who can suffer a lot less.
For the sake of her sister, Xue Langjing felt that it was still necessary to take it out.
Then, she folded the corresponding content in advance, handed the manual to her father, asked her father to give it to her sister and brother-in-law, and explained some precautions.
Knowing her starting point is good, but a big girl with yellow flowers actually looked at these things, and put such an unspeakable thing on the surface, Xue Langjing was still reprimanded by her father.
But in the end, Xue Yuhe still gave the manual to the young couple.
Because of the low literacy rate of the general public, this book is quite concise, especially when it comes to this aspect, and most of them are replaced by pictures.
And Zhang Xingyuan has also read books for two years, and this manual is supplemented by pictures and texts, so he must understand it even if he guesses.
After Xue Linjing got married, Zhang Xingyuan also joined the study army, and the set of reading utensils that should belong to him was prepared by Xue Langjing a few days ago, and it was convenient for him to join directly.
Anyway, Ren who has read for two years, compared to the Xue family, who has only studied for more than two months, naturally there is no need to catch up with the progress, even if he joins in the first year of junior high school, it is easy to learn.
Xue Langjing, who had relaxed for a day, naturally went out hunting again to support his family.
There is an extra middle-aged laborer in the family, which is a lot easier for the two Xue Yuhe brothers, who now have four acres of land to plant.
For example, the firewood used in the original home is tight, and it is used to pick up some more.
With Zhang Xingyuan's joining, there is no need to be afraid of this firewood.
After all, Xue Yuhe's two brothers are both forty or fifty years old, and their labor force is not as good as that of young people, although Xue Yuhai does more farm work, he is older, while Xue Yuhe is younger, but he does more fine work, and his labor force is not much stronger.
Therefore, the firewood used by Xue's family was mainly based on fine firewood, which was easy to burn, but it was not burned, and it needed to be picked up often before it could be provided at home.
But with the prime-age labor force, it is different, with so much more strength, they will not look down on these fine firewood, directly take an axe to chop coarse firewood, take it home and cut it off piece by piece, split, and store it, and it can be a lot in one day, and it is estimated that it can be worth several days in the past.
This coarse firewood is extremely resistant to burning, and after burning, when it is not completely burned, it is picked up with tongs and put in the stuffy tank, and it can also be made into charcoal, which can be stored in the winter and used for heating the fire.
In previous years, the Xue family had to spend a lot of money to buy firewood and charcoal every winter, but this year, this money is estimated to be saved.
At this time, Grandma Xue finally realized the benefits of recruitment, and she also agreed a lot with the recruitment of her granddaughters, although the bride price plus the expenses for holding the wedding also cost nearly fifteen taels of silver, even if Xue Lang was quiet, it still made her feel distressed.
But when she lamented that it was good that there was still a man at home, she was refuted by Xue Langjing.
To refute it, it is natural to reason with her.
I only heard Xue Langjing say, "Grandma, you can't think so, this firewood and charcoal can't only be obtained with strength, as long as you have money, you can buy it, and you can buy it as much as you want." ”
Xue Grandma said again, "Then you also have to have the strength to earn money." ”
Xue Langjing compared her father and uncle.
When she was young, her uncle had a good handful of strength, but her father was not as strong as her uncle, so she went to become an apprentice, learned some trades, and after leaving school, she went to the town to find work.
Her father earns an average of 30 yuan a day's work, and the food he buys with this 30 yuan is far more than the output of her uncle's farm work in the field from morning to night.
But grandma said again, doesn't this money also have to be earned by the men in the family, and not everyone has a female ability like you.
Xue Langjing gave her grandmother another example of Jiang Qianyue.
