Chapter 378 The Matter of Marriage (1st Update)
At the dinner table, Xia Duofu suddenly asked about Xia Qiqi's marriage.
He said: "Shuangshuang, it's only a few days since this marriage, have you thought about what to prepare?" Dad still has some money on hand, I'll give it all to you later, you Ming'er and Ah Jiu, go to the town to take a look, what do you need to buy! ”
Xia Qiqi girl, "Dad, there is something, I want to discuss it with you!" ”
"What's the matter?" Chardorf asked.
"Dad, Xiao'er's full moon wine, I don't think there's any need to feast the whole village! First, if you invite the whole village, you have to prepare chicken, duck and fish meat on the dinner table, which requires a lot of costs!
These two come, there are many white-eyed wolves in the village, every time they shout at us in front of us, they call us hotly, and behind their backs, they scold us in the four rooms, and let these people eat for nothing, they can't do it!
These three, I just want to invite people who have a good relationship with our family, who have helped our family on weekdays, there are few people, and it is simple to prepare things, not to mention, it is also hearty enough! Xia Qiqi said.
"Done! If you want to do it, do it, anyway, Dad supports you! Chardorf spoke.
He is so easy to speak, Xia Qiqi is also relieved.
Originally, this matter was their own business in the four rooms of the old Xia family, and it was enough to cook a meal in a small area and invite familiar people to celebrate.
As for those who are different from the outside, they don't need to be touched, and inviting them to come is tantamount to polluting their own eyes.
What's more, she can't do those thankless things.
"Dad, since other people in the village don't need to be invited, then grandma, second and third uncles, there is no need to invite, right??" Xia Qiqi Dao.
"This ......" Hearing that Old Man Xia and Mrs. Xia were not invited, Xia Duofu's face suddenly showed a hesitant look.
"Qiqi, your grandmother is your grandmother after all, wouldn't it be bad if you don't invite them? And...... Xiao'er has not seen each other since she was born, so take this opportunity to let them see each other, maybe your grandma ......"
Before Xiao'er could say this, Xia Qiqi interrupted Xia Duofu, "Dad, it's not that I don't treat them as grandparents, but they don't treat me as granddaughter!"
Xiao'er is a girl doll, my grandma won't like it! My sister-in-law is the best example of this! ”
The people of the Lao Xia family are really ruthless.
Except for the day her mother gave birth, after coming to see if the child was a boy, in the following days, the people of the Lao Xia family never mentioned half a word about Xiaomier.
For the four rooms, in addition to dislike, there is only dislike.
That's it, how can you expect those two old things to like Xiaomier?
She Xia Qiqi mentioned Xia Duoyue, Xia Duoyue, who was eating, raised her head and said to Xia Duofu; "Bad, they're bad!"
"Dad, listen, even my sister-in-law says they're bad! Do you think they can change? Xia Qiqi said.
Xia Duofu took a deep breath, barely suppressing the discomfort in his heart.
He said: "Qiqi, I'm sorry, it's my father who has affected you!" If I had more ability, your grandmother wouldn't look down on our family so much! ”
"Your grandmother treats us like this, in fact, I am also responsible, in the past I cared too little about you, your mother, flowers and flowers.
Patronizing to earn money outside, but the money earned is not used on you, it's not good for your father! ”
Xia Duofu said, his eyes were a little red.
I feel terrible.
Xia Qiqi shook his head, "Dad, I said, no matter what happened in the past, let's not think about it!" What is past is gone! Let's do it now! ”
"Although we are divided now, we are not far off, we can eat and drink enough, and we have our own fields, and when there is a harvest in the field, we don't have to look up to others!"
Xia Qiqi's words rekindled Xia Duofu's hope.
That's right, he is not the Chateau of the past.
Although it doesn't look like much now, when the crops grow and the harvest is harvested, the family can be self-sufficient, and life will be better! ‘
"Qiqi, I'm sorry, Fang Cai's father is weak! Dad won't talk about your grandma's side in the future! What you want to do, make your own decisions! Xia Duofu said.
Xia Qiqi nodded, "Thank you, Dad!" ”
After lunch, Xia Qiqi boiled a pot of hot water, washed the dishes and chopsticks, cleaned up the stove, and discussed with Yu Guixiang what to buy.
Yu Guixiang's meaning is simple, just prepare half of the roast pig, the size does not need to be too big, and the total cost is not more than one or two silver.
In this area of Dayu Village, relatives and relatives are all ready to roast pigs.
Rich people prepare a big one, and those who don't have money prepare a piglet.
The piglets are roasted on the outside and tender on the inside, and they are distributed to the people who come to the house.
The people invited by the four rooms are all familiar, so half a pig is enough.
Xia Qiqi wrote down the things he wanted to buy, secretly made a list, and early the next morning, he went to the town with Lu Jiu to take a look.
The appointment is three days later, and I go today, mainly to buy something that is easy to put for a long time.
It's all her own people, Xia Qiqi doesn't want to make the meal too simple, she bought three cuttlefish from the person who bought the cuttlefish last year, separated, add some fat, and can stew two pots of soup.
The rest is some red paper, incense candles and so on.
The red paper is used to wrap gift money, and the people who come to the house, more or less, will give a few big money, wrap it in red paper, and hand it to the owner of the fourth room, that is, Xia Duofu.
After Xia Duofu counted the money, he sealed it in a jar, and waited until Xia Qiqi got married, and then used the money to buy what they needed.
Because they are all customs in Dayu Village, Xia Qiqi can't say why, they are all prepared according to her mother's explanation.
It's just that the half roast suckling pig is really expensive.
said that it was half a piece, but in fact, the weight of the little piglet was less than fifteen pounds.
Even if it's fifteen catties, it's a full count, and if you buy meat, it's only two hundred and twenty-five dollars.
But in reality, it costs a tael of silver.
Looking at the roast pig with roast oil bubbling up, Xia Qiqi hesitated.
This money can't be spent like this.
She said to Lu Jiu: "Ah Jiu, why don't you ...... Let's buy a pig for ourselves! I know how to make this roast suckling pig myself.
For one or two silver, we can buy a pig of sixty or seventy catties and make a whole roast suckling pig! ”
Lu Jiu very much agreed with her statement, "Good! Then let's buy it! ”
When Xia Qiqi heard this, his mouth was so happy that he almost couldn't close his mouth.
It's good to go shopping with Ah Jiu, and I don't have any opinions.
is also willing to mess around with her.
Xia Qiqi walked around the town, and everything else was ready.
Only the suckling pig didn't move!
She was going to go to the butcher's house in the countryside to buy pigs, and the night before the wedding banquet, she began to roast them.
Just keep it and you're good to go!
Xia Qiqi finished shopping and went back to the village with Lu Jiu.
