The mother-in-law exchanged a few words with Mei Changan, and then signaled to carry the sedan chair away.

The sedan chair walked far away, and Jin Hai heard the sound of Qian's crying.

Tugging at the corners of her mouth, Jin Hai hugged a burden in her hand, which was all her belongings.

……

Mei Xiaotong was still waiting to listen, but when she saw Mrs. Li coming in, she hurriedly asked Xiao Tongtong to continue to pay attention, and report in detail when she was free.

stood up: "Mother, I'm really not wronged!" Even if there is no such thing, won't Brother Song and I be about to get married? What's the matter with a few days earlier and a few days later? ”

She really didn't mind, but seeing that Mrs. Li was very mindful, she hurriedly said: "My mother came just in time, comb me a beautiful bun, right?" I don't know how to comb! ”

These words scratched the itch of Mrs. Li, don't look at her as the mother-in-law of the Zhuang family, but she was also young and learned a good skill of combing her hair with one hand.

Back then, many daughters and daughters-in-law who were going to marry asked her to comb their hair.

More than ten years have passed, and since giving birth to Xiaotong, she has rarely taken this job. Now that I am so trusted and relied on by my daughter, I suddenly feel a little bit back.

First comb the hair with a comb, and then use a grate to comb it again, and then use the comb to dip the shavings water and then comb the hair, so that the combed hair is tight and slippery, as long as you don't pull the hair on purpose, the hairstyle will not be messy when you sleep, and it can be kept for several days.

After combing the bun and inserting a few hairpins, the outside began to be lively, and it was the team that An Huahao found to welcome the relatives.

When Mrs. Li heard this, she was anxious, and while covering Mei Xiaotong's head, she comforted Mei Xiaotong: "Girl, don't be afraid!" Let's go along! ”

As he spoke, he also stuffed a box into Mei Xiaotong's hand and gave all the savings he had accumulated over the years to Mrs. Li.

"You're going to get married, this mother is not familiar with the life in Qicheng, and she doesn't have the time to go out to find a dowry for you! Later, I thought about it, we won't stay in Qicheng for long, and we will leave when we are done, and I don't bother to buy those bells and whistles that look like they are useless. ”

"When it's time to go home, I'm tired of carrying a lot of things, so why can't I go back to town to buy them?"

"So, I'm just handing over all my savings for so many years to you! Count as your dowry! Mrs. Li patted Mei Xiaotong's hand.

Mei Xiaotong opened the box, and there were silver tickets in it, which looked like Mrs. Li pulled out from between her teeth.

The heart is accepted, but how can she ask for Mrs. Li's money?

If you want to refuse now, you can hear the sound of suona in the distance, and it is lively and lively to come here.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the Tianhu who had been guarding the door to whine, and then ran inside to tell Mei Xiaotong that the team was coming.

An Huahao rode a tall horse, and the red groom looked unusually handsome and outstanding, walking on the streets even in the dark, as if he would glow, and he was attracted

Quite a few people's eyes.

He hired a suona team of more than a dozen people, knocking all the way from the small courtyard to the inn, which was lively and festive.

The suona team blew in front of the inn for a while and rested in place.

An Huahao entered the courtyard, and no one stopped him.

When I entered the courtyard, I happened to face Mei Xiaotong, who was graceful and graceful with a red hijab, and her eyes suddenly straightened.

Involuntarily, a smile appeared on his face, and he rushed to Mei Xiaotong's side in three or two steps, took her hand, and walked into the open room next door.

In the room, Mrs. Li and Mei Zhongzhong sat on top.

They all changed into brand new clothes, and Mrs. Li didn't even dare to make a big move, for fear of damaging the clothes.

Mei Zhongzhong's face was better again, and she spoke a little louder.

He looked around, "You're all here—"

The Celestial Tiger had already laid down the mat in front of the two of them.

Carefully knelt down with An Huahao and said goodbye to his father. Mrs. Li and Mei Zhongzhong looked at the pair of children kneeling in front of them, and they both had smiles on their faces.

Mei Zhongzhong's lips trembled, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence: "You have to live a good life!" ”

An Huahao nodded: "Dad, don't worry about handing over Xiaotong to me!" In the future, as long as I have a bowl of rice, I will let Xiaotong eat it first. ”

For the farmer, this is more real than those rhetoric.

Mei Zhongzhong nodded and stopped talking.

Mrs. Li was naturally happy in her heart, her favorite daughter, who had worked hard to raise her, how could she be unhappy to see her marry a lover?

There is also a kind of pride in the family that the daughter has grown up and is a mother.

looked at An Huahao and Mei Xiaotong's eyes, which were very gentle and loving: "After the two of you get married, you will be a family." We must think in one place and work hard in one place, so that the small days can be more prosperous! If there is anything, my mother hopes that the two of you can have a discussion, you respect me, I respect you, and this day can last for a long time! ”

Mei Xiaotong and An Huahao both bowed their heads and agreed, and kowtowed three more times before getting up.

The hour has come, and it's time to go.

It stands to reason that when the bride goes out, it should be the brother who carries it out and puts it on the sedan chair.

Mei Changqing and Mei Changgui have been prepared for a long time, and they have been assigned tasks, today, one of the two brothers goes out with their sister on their back, and the other goes out with their father.

Unexpectedly, before Mei Changgui stepped forward, An Huahao bent

bent down, picked up Mei Xiaotong by the waist, and walked outside the yard.

This action made Mei Changgui, who had just squatted down next to him and was about to carry his sister, stunned, he really didn't think about it, it turned out that An Huahao was such a person!

Mrs. Li was happy, Hua Hao, this child, I didn't expect there to be such a time.

Seeing that his fourth child was still squatting stupidly, he suddenly laughed and scolded: "What are you doing stupidly?" Don't pack up your things yet, put your dad on his back

, so that you can send your sister through the door! ”

Mei Changgui came to his senses at this time, got busy, and carried Mei Zhongzhong on his back, and the rest of the luggage was held by Mei Changqing and Tianhu.

The family followed An Huahao to the door of the inn.

At the door, the suona team was still blowing a festive tune, and a red and festive sedan chair was falling at the door of the inn, and behind the sedan chair was a carriage.

Several men, seeing that people were coming out, hurriedly greeted them, and helped settle Mei Zhongzhong and Mei's family into the carriage behind and sat down.

In front, An Huahao sent Mei Xiaotong to the sedan chair, and before withdrawing, he couldn't help but squeeze Mei Xiaotong's hand, and then took two steps back and put down the sedan curtain.

Because of marriage, his expressionless face has softened a little, especially a pair of eyes, and the irrepressible joy and joy make him more and more handsome.

Mei Xiaotong's account at the inn was settled yesterday.

Because of Mei Xiaotong's cheerfulness, the shopkeeper of the inn deliberately asked the shopkeeper to put a firecracker at the door after getting up the sedan car, which also meant blessing auspiciousness.

The people watching the excitement next to him couldn't help but come over and ask: "Which family is this, who looks so handsome, why don't you find a daughter-in-law in our county, find someone from other places, this drag the family with a mouth, and marry in the inn?" ”

In the past few days, not to mention that he has received a lot of tips from Mei Xiaotong, he will not charge tips, and he will not talk about the news of his own guests.

I just slick a haha, and make an excuse to sneak into the inn.

An Huahao's side, blowing and blowing all the way, walked along the street lively, attracting a lot of people to watch the excitement.

The children, in particular, chased after the family greeting procession, laughing and playing, and pleasing the fruit to eat.

Anwar Hao got what he wanted, and he was happy.

Some of his subordinates can do things, and Xiguo has long been ready, and when he sees the children coming up to beg for it, they all generously scatter it.

The children were so happy that they screamed and laughed and grabbed it, and the whole street was lively.

Many adults also looked greedy and reached out to pick up the happy fruit.

Mrs. Li sat in the carriage and watched this scene, very satisfied.

The old rule, the more lively the road to welcome relatives, the more people will grab the happy fruit, which proves that the little couple will be more prosperous in the future.

It's very lively here.

On Jin Hai's side, after she got into the sedan chair with the package, her mind was almost blank.

finally sobered up a little, lifted the sedan curtain to look outside, and was "snapped" by the mother-in-law who had been guarding the side, and slapped the curtain down.

Unhurriedly, Yin Yang reminded him: "Auntie, please pay attention to your identity, now is not the past, and this kind of rude thing should be done less in the future, otherwise I will lose the face of my lord and wife, and my aunt will have to receive the family rules." ”

Jin Hai trembled, family rules?

I opened my mouth to ask

, what are the rules in the backyard of the county lord,

But after all, he is old and thin-skinned, and he opened his mouth several times, but he didn't dare to ask.

The mother-in-law outside saw that the new aunt who entered the door was young and not very bold, and suddenly showed a contemptuous smile.

Jin Hai was given a dismount by this mother-in-law, and only sat silently in the sedan chair.

I felt that the sedan chair man walked for a while, and then stopped, and heard the woman waiting next to the sedan chair seem to say a few words to someone.

The sedan chair was lifted again, and after walking for a long time, it stopped completely.

The sedan curtain was lifted by the mother-in-law: "New aunt, please get off the sedan chair!" ”

Jin Hai timidly hugged the package and got out of the sedan chair, only to find that the sedan chair stopped in front of a courtyard.

On the door of the courtyard gate, there are two pieces of red paper with the meaning of the word, and there is nothing red.

The courtyard door is open, and at a glance, the courtyard is not big, just two or three small rooms.

The mother-in-law stepped forward and grabbed Jin Hai's arm: "Auntie, please follow me inside!" From now on, this will be my aunt's yard! If the lord comes in the evening, the aunt will have to serve her well, and she will be able to give the lady tea tomorrow morning. ”

"If the lord doesn't come at night, my aunt will stay in the house, don't run around, you know?"

Jin Hai nodded hurriedly, and after she entered the courtyard, she was stunned at first sight.

The houses of the county government are all blue brick and large tile houses, and the backyard is naturally the same.

The walls are all made of blue bricks, the vermilion gates, and the ground is also paved with blue bricks.

Not to mention, there are still a few trees and two clusters of flowers planted in the yard, although in the backyard of the county government, this yard is small and remote.

But for Jin Hai, it's already too good.

Originally, there was still a form of resistance, but after seeing this small courtyard, it almost dissipated.

The woman led Jin Hai to the house, and the people in the house heard the movement and had already greeted them, two teenage girls who were about the same as Jin Hai.

When he saw Jin Hai, he saluted first: "Honghua, Aoba has seen my aunt." ”

Jin Hai swallowed his saliva, tried to hold the shelf, and nodded lightly: "Get up." ”

Honghua and Aoba glanced at each other, and Honghua spoke: "Auntie, please come to the house." ”

As he spoke, he was about to come up to pick up the package that Jin Hai had been holding.

Jin Hai's hand shrank, and immediately realized that it didn't seem right, thinking about the demeanor and expression of those girls with personal maids when he was communicating with Qian Shi outside, and tried to naturally hand the package in his hand to Honghua.

Aoba hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Jin Hai's arm and entered the house.

The mother-in-law who brought people in pointed to the red flower and the green leaf and said, "These two are pointed out by the lady to serve the aunt, and if the aunt doesn't understand anything, just ask them." Does my aunt have anything else to order? Without me, I'm going to Madame

There is a difference in front of you. ”

Jin Hai nodded, making himself look very calm: "Then there is Mama Lao." ”

After saying this, he was silent.

The woman was angry, and she hinted that she was from Madame's side, and thought that if this new aunt was interested, she would definitely give some reward when she heard this, and stammered herself.

I never thought that this new aunt would pretend to be stupid and not give a single eldest son.

Suddenly snorted coldly, turned around and left.

Honghua and Qingye looked at each other, they had just bought this county Mei Xiaotong was embarrassed to move because the mother-in-law was accompanying her, and after sitting for most of the day, she felt that her legs were numb.

I couldn't wait for An Huahao to take off the hijab, and immediately jumped down from the edge of the kang, and complained while beating his waist with his hand: "This marriage is too tired, how much did you spend to hire that lady?" I did my duty! When I moved, she said once, never solemn, not gentle, when it comes to the future is unlucky, the family is restless until future generations have no interest, they can rely on me! ”

Mei Xiaotong was also afraid, except for Mrs. Li, this was the most powerful lady she had ever seen.

Although she didn't believe in this very much, she couldn't stand what this woman would say, and her brain hurt when she read it, so she could only endure it.

But it's boring to just sit, you can't move your body, and it's always okay to move your mouth, right?

Chatting with the mother-in-law, I really heard a lot of useful news, and for a while the mother-in-law also thought that the bride was good, calm, and well-behaved and obedient.

An Huahao was stunned for a moment, a dark light flashed in his eyes, and he walked to Mei Xiaotong's side quietly: "Xiaotong, you have worked hard!" You lie on your stomach, I'll press you twice to dredge the meridians. ”

The tone was very serious, but the tips of the ears couldn't help but turn red.

Mei Xiaotong didn't think much about it, only waved her hand: "Let's get something to eat first, but I'm hungry!" I knew that I should have listened to my mother's words, and I could put some food on the lotus package, and I could top it. ”

She regretted it incomparably, since she entered the cave room, she couldn't even move with that mother-in-law, let alone eat it secretly.

Saying that, the whole house began to look for food, and first from the red quilt spread on the kang, when she was wearing the hijab before, she saw a few peanuts, longan and red dates in her hand.

While eating peanuts, I didn't forget to clean up the peanuts, red dates, longan and chestnuts on the kang, and finally packed a small bag.

Mei Xiaotong didn't dislike it, and gnawed on this bag of dried fruits.

An Huahao's full of thoughts, after seeing Mei Xiaotong starving like this, all disappeared.

Said distressedly: "You eat slowly, I'll go and make you a bowl of noodles——"

Mei Xiaotong nodded gratefully: "A little more, use chicken broth, and lay another egg." ”

An Huahao rubbed Mei Xiaotong's hair and went to the bottom of the stove house without mentioning it.

waited for An Huahao to walk out of the room, Mei Xiaotong took pictures

Patted himself on the chest and breathed a big sigh of relief.

Even if she hadn't eaten dinner in the afternoon, she wasn't so hungry, but after being removed from her hijab, she couldn't help but feel her heart beating like a pound, scared and ashamed when she saw An Huahao's dark eyes that seemed to swallow herself.

Although Mei Xiaotong agreed to marry An Huahao, when it came to this day, she felt that she was not mentally prepared.

So in a hurry, get along with this method.

I think An Huahao also understands what she means.

An Huahao, who was eating chicken noodle soup under the stove house, had crooked eyebrows and eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked, and shook his head.

Mei Xiaotong's thoughts, he naturally guessed that this girl was afraid that she would not abide by the eighteen-year-old covenant.

was also more or less poured with some wine, plus he got what he wanted, and Meng Lang was scared of Xiaotong's girl for a while.

Thinking like this, An Huahao's eyebrows softened a little, and when he saw that the chicken noodle soup had been cooked, he honestly put two eggs in it, took the chicken soup jar and noodles, and took two pairs of bowls and chopsticks, and brought them back to the new house together.

Mei Xiaotong had already taken advantage of the time when An Huahao went to cook noodles, changed the wedding dress on her body, changed into home-style clothes, washed the fat powder on her face, and sat on the kang refreshingly and waited.

An Huahao pushed open the door, and the cold wind carried the fragrant smell of chicken soup, which came to his nose.

Mei Xiaotong smelled the smell of chicken soup, and her stomach, which had eaten a few jujubes and chestnuts, suddenly growled.

When An Huahao heard this, he was distressed, and hurriedly fished out half a bowl of noodles, added half a bowl of soup, and threw the eggs on the noodles, and pushed Mei Xiaotong: "I'm hungry, eat quickly!" ”

After speaking, he also fished a bowl for himself, since yesterday, he has not eaten seriously, and he was poured wine at night, and his stomach is burning and hurting at the moment.

A bowl of chicken noodle soup was in the stomach, and it barely suppressed the hunger.

Mei Xiaotong was full after eating a bowl, and watched An Huahao eat all the remaining half jars of chicken soup and noodles, and then put down the dishes and chopsticks with satisfaction.

stood up to clean up, but was stopped by An Huahao: "Put it there, I'll clean it up early tomorrow morning, don't freeze your hands in this cold winter." ”

While talking, he grabbed Mei Xiaotong's hand and pulled the person into his arms.

"Hurry up, this makes people see, what is it like?" Mei Xiaotong's face turned red.

"We're a husband and wife now, what's wrong with hugging our daughter-in-law?" An Huahao disagreed.

Mei Xiaotong rolled her eyes and stopped talking.
