Chapter Seventy-Six: I'm Not Picking the Door
"My girl, where does this farmer pay attention to how long it takes to hold a happy event, your sister is going to get married the day after tomorrow, we have to hurry up and procure."
Aunt Wang was fortunate to be entrusted by Li Meng, and she was responsible for this family affair.
She was a widow, and she was afraid of being taboo against the bride, so of course she refused to agree in every possible way.
I'm afraid of bumping into a couple of newcomers.
Li Meng said that he regarded her as the only elder, and the guests were Qu Zhu's first few, and there were no outsiders, so it was just a form and a lively one.
If she refuses again, she really won't have the blessing of her elders.
Aunt Wang didn't expect Li Meng to value her as a country woman so much, and put her at the height of an elder, not to mention how comfortable she felt now.
Secretly want to do her family affairs well and do it beautifully.
"But it's festive to hang red silk, right?"
Li Wan tilted her head and wrote on the paper the items she needed to buy.
"Red silk is wanted, but this country family, don't need so much, there is one at the gate, just have one in the hall of worship, it's useless after getting married, and it's a waste to put it aside."
Aunt Wang didn't know a few big characters, so she asked Li Wannian to think about it, which ones to buy and which ones not to buy.
Li Meng didn't give her much silver.
Naturally, every penny has to be used on the cutting edge.
She is used to living a poor life, every article is saved by her own hard work, and she knows that it is not easy to make money, so she must cherish it.
"We're going to go out today to buy what we can store. As for the chickens and ducks that will be killed on the day they get married, they will be bought back and raised for a few days. ”
Aunt Wang may not have any talent in business, but she is good at farm work and housework.
Where to buy in the county, after all, she has lived in this place for decades and has figured it out.
"Okay."
Li Meng's family affairs, Li Wan will not stand idly by, she must do everything practically.
Let's hope nothing goes wrong with such a humble wedding......
Li Wan and Aunt Wang walked on the front foot.
On the back foot, Li's daughter-in-law knocked on the door.
Still the same as when I first met, I timidly grabbed the washed yellow clothes, hung my head and whispered, "Miss Li." ”
"Come on in."
Li Meng was afraid that Aunt Li next door would make trouble, so he invited someone in and poured a pot of tea for her.
"Let's have a cup of tea."
Li Meng is busy reducing the budget, and he has to sell cakes tomorrow, otherwise he won't be able to fill the deficit just eaten on the day of marriage!
In fact, Li Meng also took this opportunity to thank Qu Qingliu and them, after all, there was no harm in Li Meng dealing with them.
Relationships need to be maintained.
"This ...... The tea is so delicious. ”
Li's daughter-in-law held the cup in both hands and took a small sip before admiring.
"I used to think tea was bitter."
The perception of the daughter-in-law of the Li family is also due to her growth environment and the environment of her mother-in-law's family.
"It's flower tea, it's a little sweet."
Li Meng smiled at her.
"Uh-huh......"
The daughter-in-law of the Li family didn't dare to meet Li Meng's eyes when she spoke, and only nodded frequently.
"I don't know if Qu Zhutou has made it clear to you? I have to sell cakes here in the market, and Brother Run makes steamed buns on the day he gets out of the car, and he may have five or six days off a month, and you need to come every day the rest of the time. ”
Li Meng got straight to the point.
"Uh-huh, I know."
The daughter-in-law of the Li family lowered her head.
"You don't have to be so shy, we eat by our own labor, why care about the eyes of others, as long as we are well fed and clothed."
Li Meng knew that this was a typical woman in ancient times, with a mother-in-law, a father-in-law, and a child, and she didn't need to have her own consciousness in her life.
This is what it means to obey the father at home, to marry to the husband, and to follow the son when the husband dies.
Translated as, a woman can be a cow and a horse for the rest of her life.
"Uh-huh, uh-huh......"
Sure enough.
She was still nervous and scared.
I didn't dare to refute Li Meng's meaning.
"As for the accommodation—"
"Miss Li, don't worry, Qu Zhutou has already found me a place close to here to live with an eldest lady. Every month, I just need to pay for a house in my salary. ”
The daughter-in-law of the Li family hurriedly took over.
"That's good. I can't give you a specific amount of your salary for the time being, because I don't know what the income will be yet, and we won't know until we officially try it for a month, can you accept it? Li Meng is now short of money, and her salary is not accurate, so she still has to inquire about the ancient wages before she can draw conclusions.
The main thing is that it happened too suddenly.
Li Meng didn't have time to prepare.
"It's okay, I have something to eat, just enough for me to pay for the house." The daughter-in-law of the Li family blushed, "As long as the girl doesn't dislike me...... I'm stupid. ”
"As long as you have hands and feet, you won't starve to death, don't worry." Li Meng didn't want to mention it again, this was already her biggest guarantee.
"So, I'll be here tomorrow?"
The daughter-in-law of the Li family finally raised her head at this time.
"Well, come early in the morning, I'm going to sell bread tomorrow, and I'll rest the day after tomorrow, so I'll make more tomorrow."
I have to subsidize my family.
Being a family member is not an easy task.
"Then, then I'll go back and prepare first!"
The daughter-in-law of the Li family finally had some spirit.
Stood up at once.
"By the way, what's your name, my name is Li Meng, my sister's name is Li Wan, it's convenient for us to do things in the future, just call him by his name."
Li Meng had to let her be herself first.
Then you can work hard.
"Horse, Dongmei ......"
Burst.
actually has the same name as the actor.
Now I don't have to worry about remembering it, it will be embarrassing.
After sending Ma Dongmei away, Li Meng knocked on Xiaoba's door with her small notebook.
"Hachi. That's the case, you see that our wedding clothes are useless when worn once, and it's a waste to make new ones, so it's okay for us to wear them casually, right? ”
Li Meng's abacus was snapping in his head.
Ding - you have saved two taels of silver.
"Also, there is no need to buy new boots, you and I are all new, and they are comfortable to wear......"
Boom - you've saved fifty dollars.
"Also, the emcee of this wedding doesn't have to be invited, and there are no outsiders, and no one will look at it, right? All we have to do is eat and drink well—"
Knock - you've saved three taels of silver.
The more Li Meng spoke, the happier he became, his cheeks became red, but he didn't know it.
Chu Jingyuan didn't bother to raise his eyelids.
Where is she getting married, she is obviously inviting guests to dinner.
I've never heard of getting married without wearing wedding clothes.
I have never heard of getting married without inviting the emcee matchmaker......
"I'm not going to attend at all, and I'll save a place, what do you think?"
Chu Jingyuan casually interrupted Li Meng's words.
"Huh?"
You're here for real!
"Hehe, I'm definitely not picking on the door, it's just that you see, this marriage is just a matter of one day, wasting all that money...... Didn't I promise to save you money? You can save a few taels of silver in these places......"
Li Meng pulled the most pleasant smile.
At this time, he must not go back!
