Chapter 57

The eighth day of the winter month is the day when the acacia flower gets married, and the seventh day of the first month is the day when relatives and friends add makeup to the acacia flower.

The tall and large family is very popular in the village, plus old relatives and friends everywhere, so there are many people who come. The house is lively inside and outside, and there is festivity everywhere in the busyness.

Huaihua sat upright on the kang in the room, wearing a bright red dress, looking very delicate and bright, with thin powder on her face and rouge, which made her look more and more shy and moving.

In the countryside, there is nothing too good about makeup. It's usually just a ruler, or a few square handkerchiefs, not a pair of pillows or a pair of shoe uppers and other things.

Huaihua's aunts and uncles each added a piece of silver jewelry. In the countryside, this is a very expensive gift.

Quiet, with peace of mind, and Jiayue brought some things. Needless to say, the relationship between quiet and acacia flowers is self-explanatory, and peace of mind and Jiayue are thinking of the love of acacia flowers in the past. What I gave was a small interstitial of a pomegranate embroidery picture embroidered by myself. This pomegranate means more children and more blessings, and the plug aunt is happy enough, isn't she just praying that her daughter can have more children and more blessings in the future.

In this year, no matter how powerful a woman's maiden family is and how much her dowry is, she can't catch up with the importance of having children. Only when you give birth to a child can you stand firm in your in-law's family, and if you have another son, you can raise your eyebrows in your in-law's house, straighten your waist and be a man.

Jiayue gave Huaihua a pair of purses, which were embroidered with peace of mind. In addition to the purse, there is also a painting of a pair of winged birds. The birds that fly with wings are vividly drawn, and the locust flowers are rare. The people in the room also praised Jiayue's good painting, saying that she was a talented girl. Jiayue was embarrassed to be praised, her little face was red with shame, like a red apple, and she looked so cute!

Tranquility gave the acacia flowers, a pair of red embroidered dragon and phoenix auspicious brocade quilts, a big red flowered ruler, a peach-colored muslin, a pink-colored muslin, and a blue and azure muslin. A pair of silver bracelets with twisted wire, a pair of gold stud earrings in the style of lilacs, and a pair of silver hairpins in the style of lilies. These things were brought back from Fucheng quietly, in order to leave them for the acacia flower to add makeup. The ruler, the fabric, and the back cost nearly twenty taels of silver. Plus those jewelry, it cost a quiet little one hundred taels of silver.

Quiet handed a large bag of things wrapped in a big red envelope to the acacia flowers on the kang. Quietly smiled and said, "This is my makeup for you, don't be too little!" ”

As soon as Huaihua saw such a big bag, she knew that there must be a lot of things, so she hurriedly excused herself, "Why did you take so much?" Isn't the heart already sent, I can't take these anymore. ”

"It's pure nonsense, what Xin'er sent is her friendship with you. Our relationship, what are you still polite to me? In this life of a woman, it's just like this, you can accept it with peace of mind, as long as you marry and live well, I am happy for you. ”

"Quiet" acacia flower's eyes were red.

"Oh, what's this boss's bag? Hurry up and open it for the big guy to take a look, so that we can open our eyes" The dog lady said with some curiosity when she saw this big bag of things.

"Yes, open it and see what it is?"

"Yes, yes, look at what good things your little sisters have sent you!"

Everyone is curious about this big bag of things that Quiet has sent.

Huaihua sat on the kang and took the burden in front of her and opened it, and when she saw what was inside, Huaihua couldn't hold back any longer, turned her head and wiped her face fiercely.

"Hiss" The room resounded with the sound of inhalation.

Tuzi's daughter-in-law slapped her face and said in a loud voice, "Oh, this quilt is a brocade, right?" It's so pretty, it looks slippery. The color of the end of this big red is also positive, and there are large tweeds embroidered with gold thread on it, look at it, it is shining, it is really luxurious. ”

The dog girl also followed up and said, "Isn't it, it's going to make people's eyes dazzle." And these pieces of muslin, but they are all printed. This makes a dress to wear on the body, which is sure to be comfortable and good-looking. ”

Mrs. Wang scolded with a smile: "Look at the fire you don't know, these jewelry are the most valuable!" After speaking, he stepped forward and carefully touched it with his hand.

Huaihua's aunt said with a smile, "Huaihua is really a blessed girl, and she has made such a good sister." Take these things to your in-law's house, no matter what they are, they will be enough to give you a long face. ”

Huaihua's aunt took it and said, "Isn't it, these things have never been seen in our village." With these, we Huaihua married in the past, and the waist pole is also hard, and the confidence is enough. ”

Aunt Bolt looked at these many things, listened to everyone's words, took Quiet's hand, and said with a grateful face, "Jing'er, Auntie, thank you." Huaihua, a silly girl, to have a good sister like you who thinks about her is a blessing that she has cultivated in several lifetimes. ”

Quiet didn't speak, just smiled and shook her head. In her heart, how can she know that it is not her blessing to have a friend like Huaihua. Once, if Huaihua hadn't secretly sent food to herself again and again, I'm afraid that her Jiayue and Jiaming would have starved to death, right? This kindness, this love, she is quiet until death and will never forget!

The old lady and An Baozhu and An Jinfeng are also in the house. Seeing that Jing Jing took out so many old things to add makeup to Huaihua, An Baozhu wanted to say something, but opened her mouth but didn't say it in the end. Mrs. Ann gave the quiet sisters a fierce look, and then twisted her head to the side, no longer looking at the quiet of them.

For Mrs. An and the three of them, the quiet sisters chose to ignore them. It's not about resentment and hatred, it's just that I don't want to pay attention to it and disdain it.

The Gao family had already set up a big stove in the yard, and the chef was stir-frying, and the daughters-in-law in the village were also helping in the yard. Girls like Quiet who are not married, just sit in the house with the acacia flowers, talking. The topic of the little girls will never be separated from rouge and gouache, as well as jewelry and clothing. The conditions of the tall bolt family are among the best in the village. There is only such a girl as Huaihua, and the dowry prepared is relatively rich, and the little girls are full of envy that Huaihua can have so many dowries.

Quiet was not interested in the topic of the little girls, so she just sat on the side and listened silently. She originally wanted to go to the yard to help, but Aunt Bolt wouldn't let her. It is said that it is the rule of the country, the little girls are all petty guests, and these dirty jobs are done by their daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law.

The banquet was prepared quickly, and in this cold winter, the banquet naturally could not be placed in the courtyard. Fortunately, the house of the tall man is big enough, and there are two or three tables in each room, and he can sit down.

Quiet took her two younger sisters to eat the banquet and went home.

The eighth day of the winter month is the day when the acacia flowers get married. Early in the morning, the joy of welcoming relatives and the sound of firecrackers spread throughout the village. The relatives and friends who were good friends with the Gao family were all dressed in new clothes and went to see off their relatives with happy faces.

The quiet sisters didn't go, their sisters were still in filial piety, so it was not good to join in the fun. Although Aunt Bolt and Huaihua both said that they didn't care about these things, and they also tried their best to invite them, Jing Jing still refused. When you get married, you always have to be happy and happy. She didn't want to let this happy day be flawed because of their sisters. In Quiet's view, it doesn't matter whether you send your relatives or not. The important thing is that the life of the acacia flower can be happy and complete in the future.

Standing quietly on the hillside, my heart is full of blessings for acacia flowers. She watched the procession down the hill go farther and farther away, until she couldn't see it, and then she turned around and went home.
