Chapter 245: Much Luckier
In the dowry, all three of the things Xia left home are there, and they are the best things. In addition, there are two quilts, two mattresses, two pieces of muslin, two new clothes, four buckets, basins, and stools, one table, one hoe, and one iron hammer. There is a gold hairpin and a pair of gold earrings on the dowry list, as well as two silver hairpins, which are not in kind, and should be worn on the bride's head. These dowries are considered superior in the countryside.
Aunt Wang had already heard about the situation of the Xia family, and guessed that the three most conspicuous things must be the handiwork of Xia Lijia, but she didn't expect that the old Xia family was not greedy for ink, and she married so much, which surprised her so much, she was so happy that her eyes narrowed into a slit.
Xia Li estimated in his heart that the gold and silver hairpins and earrings should be added to Xia Zhu and Xia Tie's makeup, and the consistent money in the pressure box money was given by the old couple of the Xia family, which was said before, and the other two hundred should be the makeup of relatives and friends. It is not easy for Xia Tie and Xiao Yang to buy a few other dowries, and it is most likely that Old Man Xia is carrying a crutch for them to procure.
Xia Erni is much luckier than Xia Meiniang. escaped from her father and mother, who would betray her at all times, and brought a good dowry into her mother-in-law's house.
The villagers are also praising the bride's rich dowry, and the Wang family has married a good daughter-in-law.
More than a quarter of an hour later, Wang Xin, who was riding a horse, brought the bride in. The bride rode in an ox cart with large flowers tied with red silk on the head and on the carriage.
Among the people who sent their relatives were Xia Shan, Xia Daxiong, Xia Erhu, Xia Sanbao, and even Xia Dani came. Xia went home directly, she was the bride's aunt and a widow, so it was impossible for her to come to see her relatives.
Xia Erhu ran over and hugged Xia Li first, then hugged Xia Ju, and said with a smile, "My father told my aunt that let's all live in your house until my family moves." ”
Xia Li has a lot of worries these days, and when he hears that so many people are going to live in the house, he is a little annoyed, and it is difficult to say no.
Wang Xin and Xia Erni worshipped heaven and earth and entered the cave room.
Wang Xinzui grinned from Xiaowa Village to Sanjian Village, 200 miles away. He was so happy that the bride was better than he had imagined, strong, tall, and beautiful, and he felt better than all the girls in the village. Thinking of marrying such a good bride again, I actually used the money of the bride's sister, which is too undeserved.
After sending the bride into the cave room, he bowed to Xia Li again and whispered, "Cousin, thank you for telling me such a good girl." I will return the six yuan to you, otherwise, I will be embarrassed to see you again in the future, and I will be ashamed of Erni. ”
Of course, Xia Li will fulfill his heart for the bride. smiled, "Okay, don't worry, I'll talk about it when you're free." ”
Xia Li went into the cave room to see the bride, Xia Erni was wearing a red cloth wedding dress, although the little girl was only twelve years old, she was already more than one meter six, and her shy expression and immature facial features were very inconsistent.
When she saw Xia Li, she grinned, her eyes shining.
Xia Li's sister and brother did not stay for dinner, and the mountain road was not easy to walk at night, and it was also dangerous. The Wang family did not allow the four sisters and brothers who came to see off their relatives to go with Xia Li, so they were too snub to the bride, and said that they would send them to Xia Li's house tomorrow. I also took a food box, which contained two bowls of button meat and two plates of braised chicken. This is a return gift to Xia Lijia and Zhao Niuniu's family.
Xia Shan wanted to stay and drink, so Ye Jin accompanied them back, and the Wang family gave Ye Jin a small pot of good wine as a gift in return.
They returned to Dongrong Street, sent Zhao Niuniu home first, and then brought her a bowl of button meat and a plate of braised chicken. When Zhao Liang came to open the door, he smiled and invited Ye Jin to go in to drink, and Xia Li gave them his plate of braised chicken. The button meat made by Wang's sister-in-law was particularly delicious, and she was reluctant to give it away, so she wanted to take it back to Xia's to eat.
The Xia family was in a hurry at home, the sky was dark, why hadn't their sister and brother come back yet. finally heard Xia Ju's voice shouting "mother", and hurriedly greeted him.
Seeing Xia Shi again, Xia Li felt like a world away, and he was a little more moved and pityd. She walked over and put her arm around Xia and said, "Mother, I miss you so much." If you don't come back, I'll take my brother to the countryside to find you. ”
Seeing her daughter so coquettish, Xia Shile spoke out. She enjoyed it very much, but she said, "It's all big girls, and they are still coquettish with their mothers." ”
When Xia Ju heard this, he also hugged Xia's tongue and spoke, which made Xia's giggle. She felt that with this pair of filial and well-behaved daughters, everything was worth it.
The sister and brother talked about the excitement of the wedding and the praise of the villagers when they looked at the dowry, and Xia talked about the trip to the countryside.
Sure enough, as Xia Li expected, Xia Laohan took a crutch to let the two of them buy those few dowries, and Xiao Yang was so distressed that he cried for several days. Later, she was jealous of Xia Lijia and the makeup sent by Xia Zhu and Xia Shan, and wanted to leave a few things, but Xia Laohan beat her with a few crutches before she gave up her mind.
After the meal, Xia Li gave the finished clothes to Xia. Lilac brocade placket with white edging embroidered with treasure patterns. Purple horse-faced skirt embroidered with a few small red plums.
This is the first time since the birth of the original owner to Xia Li's crossing, the first time to make a complete set of clothes for the Xia family, it turned out that she only made small things such as handkerchiefs and purses, and occasionally embroidered a small flower on her clothes. It's not that she's not filial, it's that the Xia family doesn't allow her to do it.
Xia was moved and distressed, and said angrily, "It's not that my mother can't do it, why is it so hard to leave." His eyebrows furrowed again, and he said distressedly, "This brocade was given by Miss Zeng, and I originally kept it for you as a dowry." The material is good, the color is tender, and it is suitable for the little daughter-in-law to wear. My mother is so old, it's a pity to dress it. ”
Xia Li punned on a word, "It's a pity, my mother is still young, and she is also a little daughter-in-law." He pulled her sleeve and said, "My mother pulled me to grow so big alone, making me carefree and happy, and all the hardships and grievances were borne by my mother alone...... Compared to my mother, what I did was really insignificant. Mother, I swear, I will make you happy for the rest of your life. ”
Xia's eyes were so moved that his eyes were red, and he stretched out his hand to run a lock of Xia Li's hair and said, "As long as my separation is good, my mother will be happy." ”
This mother's love completely lost itself. Xia Li secretly swore in her heart that she and her younger brother beside her must be happy and grow old safely. Xia's greatest happiness should be to get married, instead of putting all her thoughts on this pair of children who will definitely leave her......
The next morning, Zhu Er and Wang Dahe sent Xia Dani, Xia Daxiong, Xia Erhu, and Xia Sanbao to Xia Lijia's house.
The house became lively all of a sudden, and it was a ruckus.
Arrange for Xia Dani to live on the beauty couch in the west side of the main house, and Xiong Hubao to live in the east wing.
Xia Li and Xia Ju led them to play on the street for a day, and the rest of the time it was Tian Qing and Xiao Qi who led them out to play.
