Chapter 106: Passing the Door
Here, Ye accompanied Chen Qianshan to count the items in the yard, and instructed Chen Jixing to carry the required items onto the ox cart. On the other side, Ye Ermei entered the house and began to look at her dowry.
Lin had already prepared the things and spread them out on the bed.
Seeing Second Sister Ye coming in, Lin said, "Okay, don't be busy, hurry up and take a look, these are all things that will be brought over tomorrow." You know the situation at home, so that's the only way to go. Don't be too little, it's more or less your father's heart. ”
Ye Ermei said: "Mother, where is this!" I won't look at these things, I know that my mother has already started to prepare. According to me, my mother shouldn't have prepared so much, I think that by February next year at the latest, my mother will give birth to a little brother. At that time, the family's expenses were large, and everything needed silver. Although the fourth sister and the fifth sister are still young, the third sister will be twelve next year, and it is time to settle down. ”
Ye Ermei is also right, before she got married, how much she earned was from the family. However, from tomorrow onwards, the silver she earns in the future will not be from this family.
Hearing that Second Sister Ye was planning everything for the family, Lin said, "I can save what you said." Rest assured, we know how to get by. Thanks to your eldest sister, now this day is finally over. ”
Speaking of Ye's, Lin's face was guilty.
"Back then, when your eldest sister got married, the family was poor, and your father was ...... at that time It's just that she brought a quilt and got married, which made her suffer a lot of white eyes in the old mansion. Hey, after all, we can't live up to her......"
"Mother, don't say it, eldest sister doesn't care about this. And she is living happily now, her brother-in-law loves her again, and many people envy her. ”
"That's also boiled out. Don't think I don't know, people say that our family treats our daughters as livestock, and when we get married, we don't buy a dowry. Fortunately, now that she is living her own life and is about to give birth, I feel better...... Therefore, although there is not much prepared for you this time, it is much stronger than your eldest sister. ”
Ye Ermei no longer shirked, and spoke with the Lin family.
Before the change, she must have been annoyed, but this time, no matter what Lin said, she thought it sounded good. The mood of the person to be married is really different.
The mother and daughter talked about themselves, and they forgot about the people outside for a while.
After a while, seeing that the two of them hadn't come out yet, Ye came in and said, "What are you two talking about?" Chen Qianshan was waiting outside, and it was not easy to come in and urge. To say that tomorrow is a big day, he can't be sloppy, and he is in a hurry to go back and prepare. ”
Unexpectedly, Ye Ermei said: "But I just waited for a while, what is there to worry about." Okay, you let him go back, there's nothing more to do here. ”
Hearing this, Ye Shi said with a smile: "Now it's about Shangren!" I don't know who is reluctant to give up in the yard just now. Mother, I'll tell you, just ...... just now."
Seeing the two daughters joking, the Lin family walked out and instructed Chen Jixing to go to the house first, and the Ye family and Qianyan would stay for one night and go back tomorrow with the team to welcome their relatives.
asked Chen Qianshan to be careful to catch the car, and when he saw that Chen Qianshan answered, he entered the house.
As soon as the Lin family turned his back, Chen Qianshan drove up the ox cart, and he drove it quickly, but it was not what he had just promised the Lin family.
Seeing this, Chen Jixing smiled and said, "Why are you so anxious!" I remember, you promised people to be careful to catch the car, do you think this is a set in front of you, a set behind your back? It's just that if this continues, it will have to break me up. ”
Chen Qianshan was embarrassed by his words, so he had to blush and say, "Brother-in-law, you take care of it more, and please drink two more glasses when the time comes." There are still a lot of things to prepare at home, and it will be too late. ”
"Oh, I see, I can't wait to hug the bride."
Seeing the Lin family enter the house, the Ye family said with a straight face: "Mother, while I am free today, I just want to tell you something." It is estimated that next month, or after the second sister gets married, we will recruit people again, and all of them will be recruited to cook. Because according to past experience, there will definitely be a lot of people who need to cook this year. Third sister, can the third sister still be used now? ”
Originally, they recruited their relatives first, so the Ye family wanted to take care of their mother's family. Besides, as soon as Ye Ermei got married, the family's income immediately decreased.
Speaking of Ye Sanmei, Lin sighed: "Hey, you said, you two are good, you don't have to worry about everything, you urinate, but this San'er doesn't know what's wrong, and he refuses to learn to cook." I was held back by me for a few days to learn, but I didn't learn anything, but I cut my hand several times. It's good now, it's good to talk about it, and I don't learn it at all. Female workers are even more not, and they can't even make socks until now. I have a big belly now, I have limited energy, and I don't know what to do with her. ”
In fact, this is not surprising, Ye Sanmei has two capable sisters on top of her, whether it is doing housework or going to the ground, she doesn't need to worry about it.
In addition, Father Ye also deliberately raised her as a son, and over time, it became like this.
"Forget it, I'll ask her when I'm free, and see what she's willing to do. If you want to say that there are girls who can't cook, there are also girls, just teach them slowly. ”
Second Sister Ye saw that the Ye family and the Lin family were at a loss, so she diverted the topic, "Eldest sister, mother, you can help me see tomorrow's wedding dress." ”
As soon as Ye Ermei said this, the Lin family and the Ye family were really interested, and anxiously asked Ye Ermei to take out the wedding clothes and put them on. And what she said is right, just teach it slowly, there is still time left and right.
And now that Ye Ermei is married, she can only rely on her to get married, and I think she can be exercised.
Taking advantage of the moment when Ye Ermei was changing clothes, Ye's checked the quilts, pillowcases, bed sheets and so on, and wrapped them one by one with Lin's flower cloth, and when the team to welcome her relatives came tomorrow, she would just move it up.
Ye Sanmei, who was hiding outside the door and eavesdropping, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, she was really afraid that the Lin family would force her to learn to cook again. I don't know why, she hates stir-frying in her heart. It was smoky and burning, and she couldn't stand it.
At night, Ye's, Lin's, and Ye's second sister slept together and chatted at night. Maybe it's because of pregnancy, both Ye and Lin are a little emotional, and they always think of the days when they couldn't eat enough before.
However, Ye Ermei has not experienced married life, and after listening to the words of Lin and Ye, she thought that they were worried about her, so she said proudly: "Mother, eldest sister, don't worry, we have all come over such a hard life, are you afraid that you will not have a good life in the future?" After getting married, Qianshan and I will cook and save for a year, and when the time comes, we will buy a few acres of land, which will be enough to eat and drink. ”
Thinking that the Lin family was probably worried about the child in the belly, he said: "Mother, don't worry, when I have the silver, I will buy delicious food for my younger brother and come back." Although I am married, I will not forget my younger siblings. ”
Hearing this, Lin didn't refute her, but just smiled: "Okay, I'll wait for you to come back to see your younger brothers and sisters." ”
In fact, what she thought in her heart was, you live your life first. is someone else's daughter-in-law, not to mention that she still has a family, where is she so free.
She didn't want to splash Ye Ermei's cold water, no matter what she said, she just nodded and smiled. Ye Shi did the same, just smiled.
Although Ye Ermei is much better than her, she doesn't have to live with her in-laws, and she doesn't have the pressure to have children. But married life is like that, and you will only really understand it when you experience it.
And now no matter what she says, she can't understand it.
The next day, Ye got up early, and when he saw that Lin was still sleeping, he didn't disturb her. just woke up Second Sister Ye, and after a simple breakfast, she began to dress up.
If you want to say that rural people get married, they don't pay so much attention to it at all, but they just wear a red wedding dress with better materials, apply some rouge, and then wear the jewelry sent by the man.
It's easy to say, but getting dressed up is also time-consuming.
The chirping of birds woke up the Lin family, and saw that the Ye family had already taken Ye Ermei to start dressing up, and he hurriedly took his three daughters to freshen up, and had breakfast again, and then began to prepare the stool and tea.
With Chen Qianshan's fiery temperament, and today is a positive day, it is estimated that it will not be too late.
Sure enough, as soon as she had freshened up a few children, the cow's cry sounded in the yard, and the bluffing people thought that the welcoming party had come so early. Now, Ye Ermei is inconvenient to go out, and the Ye family has no choice but to walk out with her waist, but she sees that it is Ye Feng and Chen Jixing who are here.
"Why did you two come so early and bluff us."
Seeing that Ye Feng was holding a very delicate-looking box in his hand, Ye Shi said again: "What, what kind of name is this?" Why did this kid Chen Qianshan still bring jewelry at this time? ”
Hearing this, Ye Feng shook his head and said, "Sister, this was sent from the capital by Yinping. He knew that his second sister was married, and said that it was a little bit of his heart. ”
Chen Jixing continued: "No, it's two dart masters who came to deliver this, and they banged on our door vigorously before dawn, so scared that I thought something was wrong." ”
It's no wonder that Chen Jixing was frightened, those dart masters were hired by Yin Ping in the capital, they were tall and big, with tendons and flesh, and they spoke in a rough voice, and it was indeed a little scary to make contact with them suddenly.
It turned out that Yin Ping stayed at home for a day, and saw the hairpin on Kang's head, and the dazzling jewels on the heads of several concubines, which were jeweled, and then he thought of what Ye Feng said before that Ye Ermei was going to get married on the eighteenth day.
Thinking that there was still time, Benyang Kang's help.
Kang's family naturally knew about the Ye family, and this was Yinping's first wish after returning home, so, without saying a word, he immediately took out the silver and bought a set of jewelry according to the standards of the capital, and then handed it over to the dart bureau, so that they must deliver it before the 18th.
To say that this box is really beautiful, I don't know what kind of wood it is made of, and it is also painted with a layer of lacquer. It's just that the box is sealed with paper, and I think it is for the party to open it by himself.
After taking the box, Ye hurriedly entered the house, and Father Ye welcomed Chen Jixing and Ye Feng into the house to drink tea and rest.
Seeing that the box was so magnificent, Lin was also a little surprised, she knew about Yinping, she thought that what the other party said would repay was just a polite word, but now it seems that it is a trustworthy person.
In the expectant eyes of everyone, Ye Ermei tore open the note and opened the box, and for a while, she was stunned, Ye and Lin Ye were no exception.
The box is small, but it contains a lot of things, from hairpins to earrings, bracelets to rings, necklaces to armbands. And the material is even richer, jade, jade, gold and silver.
The jewels glow in the half-dark room.
"It's too precious." Lin sighed.
Second Sister Ye didn't dare to accept it, and wanted the Ye family to return it to Ye Feng.
After thinking about it, Ye Shi said: "You don't know this kid yet, he definitely doesn't want it, maybe he will let you send someone back to the capital by yourself." Forget it, you just take it, and my sister will find a way to help him more in the future. ”
Hearing Ye say this, Ye Ermei covered the box. To be honest, these things were so delicate that she didn't think she needed them.
Wearing such jewelry in the countryside may cause you some trouble.
After a while, Ye Ermei was completely dressed up, and the team to greet the relatives came. However, there was no big saffron sedan chair, but four or five ox carts followed.
It turned out that Chen Qianshan thought that there was still a certain distance from Chenjia Village, and it was not good to come too early, so he transformed his ox cart, at first glance, it was not a sedan chair.
Then, in the unique voice of Mrs. Yang, who was full of vitality, one by one the items were moved off the ox cart and carried into the Ye family. From all kinds of cloth to all kinds of food, to chicken, duck and pork, everything is available.
As for the bride price, as long as both parties know, they will generally not say it. Of course, it usually comes out after the fact.
The onlookers from Yejia Village began to discuss on Twitter, bluntly saying that Ye Ermei was well married. Needless to say, just half a fan of pork is enough for the Ye family to eat for a while.
And compared with the two, it seems more and more that Ye's marriage was shabby.
Then there is another set of cumbersome procedures.
After these procedures were completely completed, Ye Sanmei went out with Ye Ermei on her back.
There is no male in the Ye family for the time being, and the Ye family has a big belly, so naturally Ye Sanmei has to go out with Ye Ermei on her back. Fortunately, Second Sister Ye is not heavy, and Third Sister Ye has always had good physical strength, so there is no pressure at all to carry it.
Last night, Second Sister Ye had been excited, looking forward to it, thinking about what it would be like when she went out. To be honest, she used to wish she had gone out early, because she really didn't want to stay in this house.
However, at this moment, when Ye Sanmei stepped out of the door with her on her back, her tears flowed, and the more she cried, the more she cried.
Without him, just because she is someone else's family from now on.
It was at this time that she finally woke up, maybe the eldest sister did have hatred in her heart, but it was not the main reason for not going home.
She had naturally heard of Mrs. Liu's prestige and the name of Huang's Xiangsheng Pill.
finally put Ye Ermei on her back on the ox cart, and Ye Sanmei was so tired that she was already sweating profusely. Seeing this, Chen Qianshan hurriedly handed over a big purse and thanked his sister-in-law for her dedication.
Taking the purse, Ye Sanmei quietly glanced inside, and her heart became happy again. This brother-in-law is the place, and he actually made a move for two taels of silver.
But Ye Feng knew that in order to marry this time, Chen Qianshan not only emptied his family foundation, but also borrowed more than ten taels from his eldest brother. Fortunately, his eldest brother took it, and his sister-in-law knew that Chen Qianshan had income after he got married, so he responded.
Ye Sanmei was happy, but she found a black shadow in front of her, and when she looked up, she saw Lin looking at her with a smile. Although she was unwilling, Ye Sanmei had no choice but to hand over the purse honestly.
Doesn't it mean that pregnant women are stupid, it's rare to see someone like her mother with a big belly and so shrewd.
In the sound of suona, the ox cart carrying Ye Ermei set off. Lin was a little sad for a while, and was helped by Father Ye to enter the door.
Lin couldn't cry, but to Ye's surprise, she accidentally saw Ye's father wiping his tears. I don't know if he cried like this when he went out back then?
It seems that both men and women actually have an emotional side.
After settling down the affairs of the family, and comforting the Lin family with a good voice, the Ye family got into the ox cart and went back to Chenjia Village.
There's a bunch of things going on over there, and she says she can't help out.
When Ye got out of the car, he could hear a bustle in Chen Qianshan's new house opposite. Come to think of it, everyone who should come at this time should be here.
Let Ye Feng and Qianyan refresh, and Chen Jixing's family walked over. The door of the new house was wide open, and four tables were placed outside. When I got to the house, the courtyard was bustling with activity, and the tables and stools had already been set up, waiting for the meal to begin.
Everyone sat on the table, eating and eating melon seeds, making a fuss.
The Liu family was originally on the side to welcome the guests, but when they saw the Ye family coming, they stepped forward with a smile and whispered: "You go to the back room and sit, there is a lot of noise outside, and there are many people, so it's not good to touch you." ”
"Look at what you said, where is it so delicate, it will take a few months to give birth. Do they cook in the backyard? I'll see if there's anything I can do to help. Ye said briskly.
Liu is just talking politely, although there are many people at the moment, there are few who can help, and she is not at ease in her heart, afraid that someone will take the opportunity to smooth things. A diligent person like Ye is willing to help, and she is naturally willing.
Although the new daughter-in-law is capable, she can't show her face at the moment.
Seeing the eldest daughter-in-law Li Xiufang standing next to him, Liu looked at Ye and glanced at her again. Seeing this, Li Xiufang naturally knew what Liu meant.
The brother-in-law had already told her that the Duck Duck Township Chef was about to recruit the second batch of people. According to everyone's intentions, take advantage of this wedding banquet to observe and observe, and be diligent and capable.
Li Xiufang has long wanted to enter the Yaya Township Kitchen, but when it is full, she can't help it, this new recruitment opportunity is rare, she must succeed.
Thinking of this, he chased after him in a few steps, and helped Ye to go to the backyard.
Naturally, there are a lot of tables, chairs and benches in the backyard, but fortunately, the place is spacious, and there is enough space for the Duck Duck Township Kitchen to cook. With the addition of a kitchen, the space is even more generous.
It's the first time I've used it in the backyard, so it doesn't smell. And because it is against the mountain, I don't know how much cooler it is than outside, and everyone is more willing to sit here and eat.
Li Xiufang was a diligent person when she was in her mother's house, and she was a sister-in-law when she married her, so she has been helping the Liu family with housework.
Now that he knows that all the elders of the Yaya Township Kitchen are paying attention to the little daughters-in-law who are helping, he has the heart to show his hand.
I saw her put on an apron, picked up a knife and quickly peeled the cucumber, smashed it, cut it into pieces, and then began to spice it. These are all taught to her by Chen Qianshan, and she has practiced several times at home, so it is very easy to do.
After mixing the cucumbers, she began to choose vegetables again, wash vegetables, and cut meat, without resting for a moment.
Seeing that the meat and vegetables she cut were evenly thick, Da Niu Ma picked up the cucumber she mixed with chopsticks and tasted it, and nodded with satisfaction.
This looks like a good seedling, and you can use it directly as soon as you come in.
Catching a glimpse of the satisfaction on Da Niu's mother's face, Liu Xiufang's heart was full of joy. No one in the village knows how powerful this big cow is. If she is satisfied, a few words for her at the critical moment will be secure.
Like the wedding banquet in the Ye family, those newly created dishes naturally have to be done. It's also convenient, after all, everyone is familiar with the road.
The only drawback was that it was too hot and full of fireworks, and everyone only felt that they were soaking wet.
Chen Jixing was even more worried about the Ye family, and helped to entertain outside for a while, regardless of whether the Ye family wanted it or not, and after a while, he went to the backyard to pull the Ye family back to the house to rest.
When the dishes were almost done, Da Niu's mother quietly came to tell Ye. Ye quickly got up and told Liu that they should prepare for the church.
It was dusk at the moment, and the people who were eating melon seeds in the yard and waiting to eat were already hungry from the bursts of aroma coming from the backyard. Seeing that the Liu family got up together, they knew that they were going to start worshipping.
Liu and Chen Jiqin sat upright in the front of the hall, smiling all over their faces.
This is the third time they have married a daughter-in-law, and they have long since lost their panic, and even the red envelopes have been prepared early, and they don't need to be reminded by anyone at all.
Seeing that the two of them were done, Ye Shi made a look, and Chen Qianshan entered the house, took Ye Ermei's hand and walked out. From morning to now, except for a bowl of noodles and snacks that Ye Shi stuffed to her halfway, Ye Ermei felt dizzy from hunger.
But as soon as Chen Qianshan took her hand, she suddenly felt strength, straightened her back, and followed Chen Qianshan's footsteps carefully to the hall.
In the sound of "one worship heaven and earth", "two worship high hall", "husband and wife worship", and "rite completion", the procedure was finally completed, and Ye Ermei was led into the house by the Ye family again.
Seeing that everyone's attention was on making fun of Chen Qianshan, Ye Feng took the opportunity to sneak into the new house, and handed over the food in his hand, such as steamed buns, lean meat, and so on, to Ye's family, and then slipped out again.
The hungry Second Sister Ye also ignored the etiquette, and directly lifted the hijab and began to eat, making Ye very uncomfortable on the side. She always felt that she was doing something wrong and that she was still an accomplice.
Thinking of this, he urged Ye Ermei to finish eating quickly, and helped cover her head and groom, and then went out.
As soon as the procedures in the hall were completed, the people in the Yaya village kitchen began to serve the food.
The dishes made by everyone with their hearts were served on the table like this, comforting everyone's hungry stomachs. The Ye family's wedding banquet standard is actually very rich, but this wedding banquet of the Chen family is even more so.
It can be seen that Chen Qianshan is really working hard to prepare for this wedding banquet.
It's a pity that the second elder of the Ye family can't come, and he can't feel this lively atmosphere. They had to wait at home for Chen Qianshan and Ye Ermei to return to the door in three days. The Lin family wanted to live in the Ye family, but thinking that there was no one to drive the car, and thinking about the chaos in three days, he held back.
The meal was enjoyed by the guests and hosts, and when people left, they all congratulated Liu and complimented them a few words. For this reason, Liu became more and more happy, and his face was about to laugh.
When everyone dispersed, a group of people were too busy to straighten up. Because Ye Feng didn't do anything, he went to each table to take a look.
Not surprisingly, the Songhua egg roast pork has become everyone's favorite again, this dish is not left on every table, some tables are even more powerful, even the soup is drunk, not a drop is left, I think it is directly poured into the bowl and eaten.
The second is cold cucumber, such a simple dish, which is actually eaten to the fullest. It's a pity that this is a seasonal vegetable, but it is not available in winter.
Thinking of this, Ye Feng wanted to build a greenhouse.
It's not that I want to grow vegetables in a greenhouse, but I want to build a sun shelter, so that the flowers and plants will grow very well. And there is enough oxygen inside, so it is also very comfortable to bask in the sun in winter.
Ye Feng knew that there was actually natural glass in ancient times, and there was also artificially fired with very poor transparency, but it was not called glass, it was called colored glass.
It's a pity that there is absolutely nothing to sell in Qingshan County, so I have to wait for time to write to ask Yinping.
Although Chen Jixing and several big men don't know how to cook, they have the strength, so they do the cleaning and setting up tables, chairs and benches. As for the others, they all helped wash the dishes in the stove, sorted the leftovers, and packed them in clay pots.
The people deliberated again, and made an appointment to get up tomorrow morning, and then they dispersed. According to custom, there will be a feast tomorrow.
