Immediately agreed, immediately found a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote the three big characters of "Zhuangyuan Zhai" on the spot.

"Then I'll go first, and while the shops in the town are still on holiday, I have to build them quickly."

The old master held the words in his hand and left happily, saying that he would carve them into a gilded plaque and hang it on the lintel.

……

A few days before the Chinese New Year, Xu Laosan closed the wine shop in Shazhou County.

I went back to Lao Xu's house.

Xu Laosan is very dedicated, and he is too meticulous in his work, and he will not rest if he does not do all the big and small matters well.

After returning home, Xu Zhangshi urged him to settle the matter between him and Duan Qiulan.

If you implement things this year, you will be able to become a family with the Duan family.

Duan Qiulan's mother and son can celebrate the New Year in Lao Xu's house during the New Year, which can be regarded as a happy event for Lao Xu's family.

So, when Xu Laosan came back, he went to Duan Qiulan to discuss.

Duan Qiulan shyly agreed.

Xu Zhang's discussed with Xu Jiaojiao and prepared a box of dowry gifts for Duan Qiulan.

Ten taels of silver, nine catties of rice, eight catties of pork, seven catties of vegetable oil, six pieces of cloth, five catties of brown sugar, four quilts, three pairs of handkerchiefs, two pairs of silver bracelets, and one acre of land......

This is not given by the old Xu family.

Xu Laosan took it out himself.

It is all the belongings he has accumulated by helping Xu Jiaojiao work, and he usually has no bad living habits and large expenses, all of which are stored in Xu Zhang's place.

Xu Zhang was very satisfied with Duan Qiulan, and after discussing with Xu Jiaojiao, he gave so much.

Xu Jiaojiao and Liao Qing also added one hundred taels of silver to Xu Laosan's box.

Of course, these are all put here by Xu Zhang, and when the bride passes the door, these will all be handed over to the bride.

Three days before the Chinese New Year, on the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, all the things of the old Xu family were busy, and they waited for the New Year, so the old Xu family invited the Duan family, as well as the Li Zheng in the Xu family village, and the elders surnamed Xu, to have a meal together under the witness of Liao Qing and Xu Jiaojiao, which was regarded as quietly handling the marriage for the two.

They are all second marriages, and they can't be specially organized, for fear of criticism.

But if it is really like other families, wrapped in clothes, and quietly enters the door of Lao Xu's house, it will be too unimportant, and the woman will have no face.

Now there are people with status like Liao Qing and Xu Jiaojiao to witness, host, as well as the elders, and the relatives of the two families, which is much more decent.

Speaking of which, it is not worse than the first marriage that the Ming media is marrying.

Twenty-nine, the old Xu family gathered together lively.

In the lobby room, two tables of banquets were set up.

Xu Laosan was dressed in new clothes, a navy blue coat, green cloth shoes, and a small red flower on his chest, and his face was flushed.

The newcomer Duan Qiulan is also wearing a new dress, a moon-white skirt, covered with a stone blue jacket, a red flower in her hair, and a little makeup on her face.

Liao Qing and Xu Jiaojiao sat at the top.

The two of them are juniors and should sit on the lower side, but Li Zheng and the elders have to let the two of them sit in the first place.

It is the most important to occupy a high official position.

I can't shirk it no matter what.

There is no way, they can only sit at the top.

The left and right are Xu Youde and Xu Zhang.

Li Zheng, the elders of the Xu family, Xu Laosan, and the bride are at the same table.

The Duan family and the rest of the old Xu family all sat at the other table.

Both tables were filled with identical dishes, and they were all hearty.

This is a great joy, everyone is very happy, and the elders who have been invited are all congratulating the newcomers.

Xu Zhang's eyes were full of tears, "Qiulan, this has been delayed for half a lifetime, going around and around, you still have this fate with our third child, thanks to you not disliking our third child, our third child is a person who has suffered a lot, his legs and feet are not very dexterous, and he once made his body and bones bad in the Cai family, you are now a good person, let you follow our third child, it is really difficult for you." ”

Duan Qiulan was terrified, "Mother-in-law, don't say that, there is nothing to dislike or dislike, I am willing, don't say anything else, I have known the third child since I was a child, I still know his character, I am not worthy of him, I think, I can still have this fate with the third child, I am satisfied in this life, the third child is married for the second time, I am still a widow, thanks to the third child does not dislike my pair of children, I am really, especially grateful in my heart......

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have not yet entered the door, and their relationship is so good.

In the future, it should be easy to get along with.

Xu Jiaojiao interjected, "Okay, okay, mother, today is a big day, don't shed tears." ”

Xu Zhangshi wiped the corners of his eyes, "Yes, my old daughter is right, let's not talk about this, this is to thank God for having eyes and giving us a good life." Qiulan, I am very relieved of you, the person I owe the most in my life is the third child, in the future, you will live in the future, I will hand over the third child to you, what are the difficulties in your third room, you can directly tell me, if the third child bullies you, you can also tell me directly, see that I don't skin him, use the sole of the shoe to beat him to death. ”

Duan Qiulan blushed with shame, "Mother-in-law, you are too worried, the third child is a good person and will not bully people." Also, you and your father are old, and you can hand over the work at home to me in the future, and I will do it. ”

Xu Zhang replied, "No, no, the third is a separate door, you two just live your own life, don't serve us." Next year, you will go to the county wine shop with the third child to help, and let Jiaojiao calculate the wages for both of you, and Huzi, your family of four, all go to live in the county, take care of your own life, don't let me worry about the third child, and my heart will be steady. ”

The business of the liquor store in the county town is also very good, and after Duan Qiulan goes, she can help.

It's just a young guy who hired a helper, if it's a young girl, it's not suitable to show up every day to do business, a middle-aged woman like Duan Qiulan is just right, and she doesn't have to be afraid of criticism.

The Duan family next door, Duan Dashi's father and son, Duan Hongmei, and they, when they heard this, they all pursed their lips and smiled, and nodded secretly.

Xu Zhang's arrangement is good.

It is the intention to seriously let Xu Laosan and them live their own lives.

After Duan Qiulan lost her widow, she has been living in the Duan family's mother's house for several years, and it is not that no one has come to say goodbye.

To put it mildly, if the conditions are good, they all dislike Duan Qiulan for bringing two oil bottles.

The poor conditions are all old, and the house is a mess, and Duan Qiulan needs to do free work in the past, serving the family, and there is still a lack of food and clothing, and food and clothing may not be guaranteed.

Therefore, Duan Qiulan neither wanted to wronged herself nor the children.
