Chapter 132: Dowry
"Zhongjun, why are you here? When did you come back? Xu Shuqin saw Xu Zhongjun and asked in surprise.
"Just came back!"
"Then why didn't you help at home, what are you doing here?" Xu Shuqin asked suspiciously.
"I asked the daughter-in-law of the regiment commander to help get a military uniform, you can send it to Uncle Xiao Nian's house in a while." As Xu Zhongjun spoke, he handed the cloth bag he was carrying to his eldest sister.
Now it is popular to wear military uniforms when getting married, so he brought back a women's military uniform for Xiao Nian, and he asked the regiment commander's daughter-in-law to help buy this military uniform from the female soldiers.
Because the most popular thing now is to wear military uniforms, many people in the army will leave the military uniforms issued and send them to relatives and friends.
So as long as you put a little effort into it, it is also very convenient to buy a women's military uniform, but it is not easy for him to buy it from a female soldier as a big man, so he has to ask the daughter-in-law of the regiment commander to help him buy it.
"It's a real military uniform, that relationship is good, when you get married, both of you will wear military uniforms, it must look good. I didn't expect our loyal army to be so careful and love our daughter-in-law so much. Xu Shuqin flipped through the clothes in her hand and said teasingly.
After the clothes were sent to Sun Feng, Sun Feng did not directly send the military uniform to Xie Xiaonian, but planned to take it again on the 21st, she knew Xiao Nian's size, even if this military uniform was covered outside the padded jacket, Xiao Nian could wear it.
Sun Feng was very satisfied with Xu Zhongjun's move, and it can be seen from this point that Xu Zhongjun cared about Xie Xiaonian, and his choice was indeed not wrong.
And on the Xie family's side, when it was time to cook dinner, Wu Lihua cheekily said to Xie's father: "Dabao father, the Xu family sent a lot of meat, let's cut a pound and eat it at night!" Dabao still has to go to work on a cold day, and he also needs to eat some good supplements. ”
Wu Lihua knew that Father Xie only cared about Xie Dabao now, so she used Xie Dabao as an excuse.
Father Xie was also a little hungry for meat, so he didn't refute it, and went directly to the house to cut about 2 catties of meat, and picked out a stick bone.
After Wu Lihua took the meat and bones, she said to Xie Xiaonian: "You heat the nest, then cook the corn paste, and I'll fry the vegetables later, you just burn the fire for me." ”
Although he knew that Wu Lihua was afraid that she would eat it secretly, so she would not let her touch the meat, but Xie Xiaonian was also happy.
Then Wu Lihua boiled a small pot of radish bone broth with stick bones, and the piece of meat was directly made into a mushroom meat slic.
The Xie family's meal tonight can be said to be a very rich meal, and because there are more dishes, everyone has a round belly, including Xie Xiaonian.
Although during the meal, Xie Xiaonian secretly suffered from Wu Lihua, a lot of white eyes, and the food cooked by Wu Lihua tasted average, but Xie Xiaonian still ate it with his belly open, this is still the meat sent by the Xu family, and it can't be cheapened for nothing, and it can be eaten back a little bit.
After eating, Xie Xiaobao held his stomach and said, "Mother, let's eat meat and drink bone broth tomorrow, it's really delicious." ”
Wu Lihua was obviously in a good mood after eating, so she looked at Xie Xiaobao lovingly and said, "Okay, let's give Xiaobao meat and bone broth tomorrow." ”
Xie Xiaobao heard that Wu Lihua agreed, and wanted to jump up happily to show his excitement, but because he ate too much, after moving a little, he touched his stomach and sat down, but the smile on his face couldn't be stopped.
And although Father Xie was dissatisfied with Wu Lihua's self-assertion, he did not speak out against it, who would object to eating good every day, anyway, the Xu family sent a lot of meat, and it was nothing for them to eat in advance.
When Xie Xiaonian heard their conversation, he obviously wouldn't say anything, let alone let them eat meat.
The meat sent by the Xu family, on the morning of the wedding day, Father Xie would definitely not put all the meat in it when he was entertaining, since this is the case, Xie Xiaonian can't wait to eat a few more delicious meals before she gets married, and the more you eat is what you earn, although she is not bad at eating this bit.
Although he ate a little too much today, Xie Xiaonian didn't wander around the yard like everyone else, and went back to the house early after finishing his work.
It's too cold now, even if Xie Xiaonian wears a newly made cotton jacket and cotton pants, she still feels that the night is cold and cold, and she can't stretch out her hands when she is freezing, but the space is still good, and the four seasons are like spring.
Early in the morning of October 21, just after breakfast, Xie Xiaonian's eldest concubine and second concubine led a few cousins to the Xie family with the dowry prepared by their uncle's family.
Because there are a lot of things, even if the four cousins each set up an ox cart, the first trip was not finished.
The eldest cousin and the second cousin ran again before they were all brought over, that is, the uncle prepared a dowry of 6 ox carts for her at once.
All the furniture is made of elm, which is beautiful, strong and beautiful.
The furniture is a total of 1 large square table with 4 chairs, 1 dining table with 6 stools, 2 large and 2 small four cabinets, 1 kang table and a basin stand, which is the highest configuration of the current dowry "72 legs".
Then there are 6 pairs of quilts, 2 pieces of cloth for bed sheets, and four seasons clothes for Xie Xiaonian.
Of course, what is even more indispensable is the radio that Xie Xiaonian bought specially.
Odds and ends include washbasins, pots, towels, etc., and even soap is prepared, so it can be said that all aspects are particularly complete, which also shows the intentions of my uncle's family.
And these pieces of furniture are also pasted with red double happiness in advance.
In addition to a cabinet that contained things and was locked, in the other cabinets, the eldest concubines also put steamed buns made of white flour and sesame seeds.
This kind of steamed bun is not the kind that Xie Xiaonian saw in his previous life, a soft, cabbage-like steamed bun, but a unique one when they got married here.
You need to mix white flour and sesame seeds with white flour first, and then use a rolling pin to make round pancakes, cook them in a pot, and then bake them under the stove, so that after cooling, they will taste fragrant and crispy.
These steamed buns are placed in the cabinet, on the one hand, for the people who help carry the dowry, and on the other hand, it also means that in the future, the new daughter-in-law will have food to eat and surplus food.
Uncle Xie Xiaonian's family also wanted to prevent Wu Lihua from not preparing these, or not preparing enough, so they even prepared these, and they didn't have them when the time came, making a joke.
And Wu Lihua is indeed prepared, after all, so many people are watching, even for the sake of her children and Father Xie's face, she doesn't dare to go too far.
However, she did not prepare a white-faced Luo bun, but like a very difficult family in the village, she only prepared a few nests.
And Xie Xiaonian's cousins gave her dowries, which caused quite a stir in Xie Zhuang, especially the radio and the 6 pairs of thick quilts.
You must know that at this time, it is impossible for people to buy any large items except for the dowry given by the man.
And because the cotton yield is not high, it is not cheap, and the family is not good, 1 pair of quilts can be dismantled and washed for more than 20 years, and the villagers generally only make 4 pairs of quilts at most, there are still thin and thick, not like Xie Xiaonian, there are 6 pairs at once, and they are all so thick.
At this moment, Xie Xiaonian's dowry is really the first of the entire brigade, unprecedented, not only has "72 legs", so many quilts, but also a complete 3 turns and one ring, and all kinds of small things are readily available, it is difficult not to make others envious.
The people in the village saw that Xie's father did not prepare a dowry for Xie Xiaonian before, and with Wu Lihua, the stepmother, there was no way for the family to prepare anything good for her, so they all waited to see the joke.
But who knew that someone had a good uncle's family, and he prepared more dowries than other parents, even if they were from the city, so in the end, the people in the village only had envy.
When Father Xie saw these things, he didn't feel any joy in his heart, but felt that the more things the Wang family prepared for Xie Xiaonian, the more he couldn't do it, and the people in the village would laugh at him even more, so on the day of great joy, Father Xie didn't even have a smile on his face.
And Wu Lihua is full of jealousy, when her family Li Zhi got married, she didn't even have a banquet, and there was no dowry at all, so looking at the things that moved into the house in front of her, how could she not hate.
However, no matter how annoyed Wu Lihua was, she couldn't do anything, not only because everyone else was watching, but also because she wouldn't touch the things sent by the Wang family at all.
Except for the wooden furniture that was placed in the yard, other things were directly put in Xie Xiaonian's house, and with Xie Xiaonian's two concubines, Wu Lihua couldn't get close to the house at all.
And the furniture placed in the yard was also covered tightly with canvas by Xie Xiaonian's cousins, and it was also tied with ropes around it, and it was difficult for Wu Lihua to see it, let alone destroy it.
So no matter how much Wu Lihua hates, she can only stare dryly, Xie Xiaonian's family is strictly guarded in all aspects, and they will definitely not let Wu Lihua take advantage of the loophole and have the opportunity to block them.
As soon as the dowry was placed here, Xie Xiaonian's only friend, Li Zhuzhu, came to add makeup.
"Xiao Nian, I wish you eternal happiness and an early birth of a noble son!" As soon as Li Pearl entered the room, she said directly to Xie Xiaonian.
Then I saw her take out a pair of silver bracelets from her pocket, and then said to Xie Xiaonian: "This is the wedding gift that Liu Yifan and I gave you, and it is inconvenient for him to come over, so let me congratulate you on his behalf." ”
"Thank you, but you don't have any money, how can you buy me such a valuable thing!" As soon as Xie Xiaonian saw it, he knew that this bracelet was not cheap, and I was afraid that it would cost the two of them half of their savings.
"What is precious or not, this is the intention of the two of us, and compared to your help to us, this little thing is nothing, you must take it, you know!" Li Pearl said resolutely.
"Well, okay, I took it, thank you! When you two get married, I'll surprise you! Xie Xiaonian took the bracelet and teased Li Zhuzhu.
Although the two of them are not really together yet, both parties have intentions, so they almost pierced the window paper.
"What nonsense are you talking about, I hate it!" Li Pearl heard Xie Xiaonian say this, her cheeks were crimson, and she was embarrassed to cover Xie Xiaonian's mouth.
"What are you shy, what a normal thing it is for a man to marry a woman to get married, and you two are older than me, it's time to get married, and I think Liu Yifan has coveted you for a long time, when do you two plan to meet your parents!" Xie Xiaonian looked at Li Pearl's shy appearance, as if he remembered his shy appearance in front of Xu Zhongjun at that time, and continued to laugh and tease.
"You still say, you still say!" Li Pearl saw that Xie Xiaonian was going too far the more he talked, and he was even more embarrassed.
"Okay, okay, don't say it, don't say it!" Xie Xiaonian saw that Li Pearl was about to leave in shame, so he hurriedly said with a smile.
The two were in the house, and when they were happily playing, they heard the big lady in the yard say, "What are you doing here, hurry up and let me go!" ”
