Chapter 73: Making the Bed and Spreading the Tent
Marriage is the most important thing in a woman's life, everyone wants to be beautiful, but you also have to consider the situation at home.
At the moment, there is no division in the family, but the grandparents said that the dowry is prepared by themselves, and the father and mother have always been honest, and they will definitely not hide money behind their grandmother's back, unlike the second aunt.
So, how much money can you have on hand? This year, I sold silkworm cocoons, plus the herbs that were pulled, and there were not many in total.
The more Meng Shan thought about it, the more anxious she became, how could it happen that she was going to say goodbye this year, and it would be good to wait for another two years.
The second aunt is very stingy, and now if grandma takes money out of the office, the second aunt will definitely make trouble, and if her family affairs make the family uneasy, then she will be even more uneasy.
Wanrong saw her frowning and asked her, "Mengshan, what's wrong with you?" ”
Meng Shan shook her head, "It's okay, the dowry is over, I'll take my sister to work." ”
Wanrong took her hand and whispered, "Don't worry, your dowry will also be well prepared, and the girls of our Lin family will not be wronged." ”
Meng Shan was stunned, but she didn't expect to be seen by her little aunt, who was really clear-minded.
She was a little embarrassed and nodded slightly, "I know." ”
Siqi is rare to be relaxed today, although she is a child, but she has the thoughts of adults, so there is no way to be really carefree, usually racking her brains to make money, it is really rare when it is so easy.
The Chen family is more than ten miles away from Tongxin Village, which is not too far, and it is very fortunate to marry someone more than ten miles away.
A woman in feudal society married her husband from her father at home, and after marrying, she had almost no chance to return to her parents' home.
First, because it is important to focus on the affairs of the in-laws' family, and secondly, because it is too far away and the traffic is inconvenient, how can I often go back to my parents' house to see.
It won't take long to arrive more than ten miles, and Xuanshi said to Siqi, "My mother will be very busy for a while, don't be greedy, you have to look at your brother, do you know?" ”
Siqi smiled and nodded, "Mother is busy with peace of mind, I will take care of my younger brother." ”
Zilong also said on the side, "I will also take care of my younger brother." ”
The Chen family has already prepared the new house, and the construction began at the beginning of the year, using a new foundation, not an old house.
It is built in the shape of a courtyard house, with three upper rooms, two ear rooms, two wing rooms on each side, and three rooms on the south side.
There is a small yard at the back of the house, and the pigsty and cattle pen are at the back, as well as a vegetable patch or something.
This house is somewhat similar to the Lin family, but this one is much more spacious.
There are not many Chen families, so it is completely enough to live in this way, and it is very comfortable to live.
The people from the Gu family were Gu Zelin and his eldest son Tianyuan, who gave the dowry list to the Chen family and his wife, and after talking for a while, it was time to start decorating the new house.
According to the rules of marriage here, the new house is decorated by the bride's maiden family, and the man's family only needs to prepare the house.
The furniture in the house has been arranged, and the direction of the furniture has been calculated by someone, and it must match the newcomer's eight characters.
According to the previous rules, the man's house only needs to prepare a clean and empty room, and the furniture does not need to be prepared, everything is arranged in the woman's house, and the furniture must be carried the same.
But this was too much trouble, and gradually, the rules were simplified, and you only had to make the bed and spread the tent.
Xuan's today is wearing a garnet red dress, his hair is carefully coiled, and he wears two or three pieces of jewelry, which looks really temperamental.
Siqi tilted his head and looked at her, the family will have a good life in the future, and the Xuan family must also have this attitude of not being surprised, going out to see the world, it is indeed different from the women in the village, no wonder the Gu family will take a fancy to it.
Red is everywhere in the new house, mosquito nets, bed sheets, bedding, pillows, and tablecloths for making tables and cabinets, all of which are red and embroidered with good patterns.
Most of these things are from the hands of Qiu Ru, and the woman will have to work at home after she is married, and she will take it out when she gets married.
When the bed and table are ready, sprinkle some dried fruits on the bed, which means that there are many children and many blessings.
When I was spreading the tent, I had to sing the song of the tent, and I thought it was the first time I heard it, and I thought it was quite interesting.
The Xuan family had never let go of a good wife before, but he had seen it, and he asked the Wu family again in the past two days, and he was doing a decent job at this time.
After the new house was laid, there was joy all of a sudden, and the children were especially happy, running and jumping around the house.
The Chen family also found a few three or five-year-old children, a few children took off their shoes and put them on, let them play for a while, and the adults watched from the side, so they couldn't mess up the happy bed.
Xuan's put Zichen on it, and pulled Zilong Zijie over to sit down, "Qi'er, you also come and sit down to add joy to your sister Qiuru." ”
Siqi smiled and shook his head, "I'm here, just like here." ”
Although there is some superstition, but she doesn't want to destroy it, although she is a little girl, but in her previous life she was already an adult in her twenties, and she can't let adults sit on the happy bed, so it's better for her not to go.
The Chen family's new house was finished, and it was time to go back, and when he arrived in the village, Gu Zelin gave the red envelopes prepared in advance to the villagers who helped carry the dowry.
He still had a few red envelopes on hand, one big one was given to Xuan's, and a few small ones were given to a few children who went to sit in the tent today, Siqi also got one, and shook it happily, "Mother, I have a red envelope." ”
Xuan's smiled and said, "Take it well, this is joyful, pick up the bride tomorrow, you children will go to play with you, and you can get some red envelopes." ”
When I returned home, I was already cooking, and today it was Liu who was cooking, and Du was washing clothes with a basin.
Seeing that they were back, Du Shi hurriedly asked, "Zilong, did you take the red envelope?" ”
Zilong nodded, "Take it, my brother and I have it." ”
Du Shi wiped his hands, hurriedly came over and pulled them to the house, probably to see how much money was inside.
Thinking about his helplessness, how much can you give to a child's red envelope, there are copper coins in it, just take it and know it, there should be dozens of texts.
The children's red envelope Du Shi is also interested, and he is really in the eyes of money.
Xuan went to the upper room, smiled and told Lin Dezheng and Wu about today's events, and then took out the red envelope, "This is for me, keep it for my mother." ”
Wu smiled and said, "You just take it, it's still the same sentence, I only accept the money from the public school, these are your own, the Gu family gave the red envelope today, and I thought it would be given tomorrow after a happy event." ”
Xuan smiled, "I also thought that I would have to give one tomorrow." ”
Wu asked her to take it away, and she took back the red envelope, which was nothing to be embarrassed about.
