By the fifth day of the lunar month, the things that should be prepared have been completely prepared, and the things to be brought to the man have been packed.

The house they lived in had become empty, with nothing left but necessary bedding and furniture that could not be taken away.

Aunt Zhang smiled and joked with Bo Zhong: "I think you are your sister's best dowry, and it doesn't make much sense to bring the rest of the things." ”

Bo Zhong and the others smiled shyly, since they learned that they didn't have to be separated from the eldest sister, several people no longer had any worries.

There was a snowfall on the second day of the lunar month, and after that, it was sunny every day, and the snow in the courtyard and on the road was cleaned.

Zhu Ji is plastered with red happy characters inside and outside, a festive scene, and there are red lanterns that are not hung.

Yuan Ning thinks it's a bit early to paste the word "happy" now, the sun is easy to fade the red paper, and the winter wind is strong, and it is easy to scratch.

Zhong Ling said angrily: "Sister, don't worry about these things!" It's just a few pieces of red paper, and it's not like we can't afford to spend this money. ”

Yuan Ning's eyes couldn't help but widen, "Ouch, this isn't like what our little housekeeper can say!" ”

Although her family is getting better and better, Zhong Ling is still very frugal, and if her daily expenses are a little larger, she will complain.

Zhong Ling's face turned red, "Sister, what about you?" When is this? This is the last time you should be frugal! Actually, this is enough to wronged you! ”

Whose girl is not glamorous when she marries? Even if the girls in the village are about to get married, they will start to buy dowries a year or two in advance, but their sisters, from the engagement to the marriage, have not had time to prepare anything good.

Most of them were bought by someone in Fucheng, but the time was limited, and she went back in a hurry, she always felt that she was not attentive enough, "My sister deserves better." ”

"It's just a formality," Yuan Ning didn't care, "The most important thing is to live your life well." I believe we can all do it. ”

Zhong Ling opened his arms and hugged her, "Sister, no matter what happens in the future, you are our support, and we are also your support." ”

Yuan Ning raised his hand and touched her head, "My sister has grown up...... Actually, my sister doesn't want you to grow up so fast......"

If you are a child, you should have the innocence of a child, but Zhong Ling has been precocious since she was a child, and she has hardly enjoyed the innocence that belongs to children.

Zhong Ling raised his head, "Compared to the eldest sister, what am I!" I still hope that in the future, my sister will not have to work as hard as before. ”

"Well," Yuan Ning bowed his head slightly, "the days are definitely getting better and better." However...... "Su Heting's future officials are getting bigger and bigger, and she will need to pay more and more things accordingly, and the road ahead will not be a smooth road, but there is no need to let the little girl know about these, "Our family will always be together." ”

Zhong Ling's nose was sour, and her eyes were red, she understood many things, but she couldn't say it.

Aunt Zhang came back from the door, "The eldest girl, the second girl, someone came to the door, saying that it was a relative of your family, you see?" ”

Yuan Ning let go of Zhong Ling, "I'll take a look." ”

"I'd better go!" Zhong Ling pushed her, "You are a bride, how can there be a bride running around?" ”

Yuan Ning touched his nose and had to go back to the room.

Outside the door were Uncle Zhao Liu and Aunt Zhao Liu, both of whom changed into clothes that they didn't wear much, because they had pressed the bottom of the box for a long time, and the folds on their clothes couldn't be smoothed.

Looking at the magnificent gatehouse, the husband and wife were extremely cramped, constantly pulling the corners of their clothes.

In fact, they came once, but the gatehouse had not been renovated at that time, and it didn't look so magnificent.

And the clothes worn by Aunt Zhang's maid are shocking enough, anyway, they are more decent than their New Year's clothes.

When Zhong Ling stood in front of him, the two husbands and wives didn't dare to admit it, they hadn't seen Zhong Ling for a few days, the little girl had grown a lot taller, and her original skinny appearance was gone, replaced by ruddy cheeks and handsome appearance, and at first glance, she looked like a young lady who had grown up in a rich and noble family.

Sixth Uncle Zhao Sixth Aunt Zhao hesitated for a moment, recognized it from between her eyebrows, but she was still not sure, "You are ...... Erya? ”

Zhong Ling smiled and saluted, "Sixth uncle and sixth aunt, I'm Zhong Ling, please be inside." ”

Both husband and wife carried baskets on their arms and coarse cloth on their heads, and they did not know what they contained.

Uncle Zhao and his wife entered the yard, and saw that the yard was so neat, and there were still many boxes stacked in the yard, so they didn't know where to put their legs and feet, so Uncle Zhao took the lead in putting the basket on the ground, "That, Erya, we know that your sister is going to get married, and we have nothing to give, just save a few catties of eggs, and a few old hens......"

Zhong Ling glanced at the basket, no wonder he always felt that there was movement in Uncle Zhao's basket.

The old hens were tied up tightly, even their mouths were tied, and they didn't make any sound.

Aunt Zhao also put down her basket and rubbed her hands, "Yes, Zhong Ling, if it weren't for your sister, our life would not be possible, and now your sister is going to get married, we can't take out more, and our hearts are always to be expressed." ”

Zhong Ling was a little embarrassed, she knew that it was not easy for Uncle Zhao and his wife to make money, and the burden on the family was also heavy, so she said: "Sixth uncle and sixth aunt, we have received your wishes, but this thing is ......"

"Take it," Yuan Ning walked out of the room, "Since it's the intention of the sixth uncle and six aunts, how can you refuse?" ”

She gave Zhong Ling a look, and gave some money to think that they bought it.

Because she is about to get married, she is always bad at dressing up as a man, so she also changed into women's clothes when she was at home. She was originally tall and tall, her appearance was not bad, and with the maintenance of Aunt Luo, the whole person looked as delicate and fresh as a peach blossom blooming on a spring branch.

Uncle Zhao and his wife didn't dare to admit it. In their impression, Yuan Ning is still the hairy girl with a gray face in men's clothes.

Yuan Ning smiled and invited them to come into the house to sit, but the two couples refused, they came all the way, their bodies and feet were very dirty, and Aunt Zhao's eyes were red, "If you and your father and mother know that you have today, I don't know how happy they should be......"

Uncle Zhao bumped into her and said angrily: "Great joy, what are you talking about?" ”

"It's okay," Yuan Ning smiled, "It's also true. ”

Uncle Zhao Liu dragged Aunt Zhao Liu's way out, "Our hearts have been delivered, seeing that your family is doing well, we will rest assured, there is still a big mess at home, so we won't stay longer." ”

Yuan Ning saw that he couldn't keep it, so he asked Aunt Zhang to take the basket in, "You guys wait a minute, bring the basket back." ”

Aunt Zhang naturally understood, the basket was taken in, the things that were originally contained in it were taken out, and some things were added to it, and it was taken out and returned to them.
