Chapter 268: Hiring
The days soon came to the day of filial piety of the Liu family's sisters and brothers.
On the day of filial piety, the sisters and brothers of the Liu family cleaned up and down the head of the house, and put on new clothes one by one, red and green, because they were not able to wear brightly colored clothes in the filial piety period, but now after filial piety, the sisters and brothers of the Liu family have no worries, and they all put on the new clothes, one by one, full of spirit and a new look.
On this day, the Xuan family's housekeeper took Feibai to deliver food to the families in Shangou Village from house to house.
Now that the plague has just passed, when there is no money, no food or even no one, the villagers of Shangou Village are very grateful to the Xuan family, so that it will not be difficult to pass this winter, and they are grateful to the Xuan family one by one.
As for the noodle restaurant in Liujia Town, it has also slowly opened, but just after the plague has passed, the business of many shops has been affected, and the benefit of Liujia Noodle Restaurant is only half of the income of previous months, and the profit earned has been greatly reduced.
However, after Liu Yiyu saw that the plague had passed, although the villagers of Shangou Village had the Xuan family to send grain over, it would not be difficult in winter, but it would take more than half a year to sow and harvest grain in the spring of next year.
During this time, the villagers had no money and no food, and they didn't know how to get through, and they couldn't let the Xuan family always send food to the villagers, so that they could cultivate that with the Xuan family, they would not starve to death, and they should develop the idea that they should be.
After thinking about it for a while, Liu Yiyu revealed the matter of ice fishing and snow bird hunting, so that the villagers could be self-reliant and support themselves.
After the Liu family told the villagers about these two ways to make money, they went crazy and fished in large quantities.
Liu Yiyu couldn't help but sigh after seeing this, the villagers were afraid that they were poor, hungry and scared to death, and with this way to make money, they were all busy with their lives.
......。
On the day of the Liu family's filial piety, the family happily had a meal around.
The Liu Li family and the Liu family sisters and brothers are smiling happily one by one, and after the filial piety period is over, the Liu family sisters and brothers can start marrying one by one.
Thinking of this, Liu Li couldn't help but cry.
"Mother, why are you crying, are you not feeling well?" Xun'er was the first to find Liu Li crying, and after Xun'er saw it, he walked into Liu Li and asked Liu Li with a worried face.
"Xun'er, is my mother okay? Mother, this is happy? ”。 Liu Yiyu said to Xun'er with a smile.
"Happy". Xun'er asked with some confusion.
"Mother, the eldest sister, the second sister and the third sister will marry very close in the future, and it will often be common in the future, now, the most important thing for us is how to marry the eldest sister and the three of them in a beautiful way." The fifth brother comforted Liu Li and said.
"Yes, yes, Gorou is right, my mother can't delay the three of you sisters any longer, Uncle Xun, we have to pick a good day, let the three eldest sisters marry in a beautiful way, Uncle Xun, you see that the recent day is suitable for marriage." Liu Li said, took the lunar calendar, and began to choose the day of the old man asked.
"Mother, do you mean to let the eldest sister, the second sister, and the third sister marry out one by one, or marry out in one day?" At this time, the fifth brother asked Liu Li.
"This .......". When Liu Li heard this, he was also a little hesitant.
"Mother, don't be in a hurry, my father and I picked a good day, the sixteenth day of the first month of next year, it is a good day, it is a good day, it is appropriate to marry, it is appropriate to move, it is appropriate to break ground, everything is appropriate, it is a good day.
As for the three of us, we will get married on the 16th day of the first month of next year, so that my mother will not be reluctant to let our sisters cry twice." Liu Yiyu joked with a smile.
"In the blink of an eye, your sisters are so old, and they are going to get married next year, so my mother is really reluctant to give up your sisters? Fortunately, the time is still long, and my mother has time to prepare things for you to marry, and my mother wants to marry you beautifully.
It's just that Liu Yiyu knows that after this plague, his family spent a lot of silver, bought a lot of medicinal materials, and spent a lot of silver, and even our master took out twenty taels of silver.
"Okay, my daughter is waiting for my mother's dowry, but before that, mother, let's give the matter of the fifth brother and Xun'er, as well as the seventh brother and Wen Qing, and the daughter will look at it for seven days, and the days will be excellent, and the marriage between the two of them can be given." Liu Yiyu said with a smile.
"The eldest sister is right, eldest sister, what do you say we want to send over, and what do you want to take as a token? And ......".
.......
After the next day, the Xuan family sent a matchmaker to send the Liu family to propose, and the two families had crossed the Ming Road, so they naturally agreed, and on the first day, they "gave a faint ceremony and adopted a goose".
On the third day, I asked for a name, and after asking for a good name, I co-authored a hexagram with Feibai's name.
On the fourth day, Najib, Xuanjia gold and silver jewelry and other items were gifts. It is equivalent to the current engagement, commonly known as sending the marriage.
On the fifth day, the Xuan family sent the dowry gift to the Liu family.
On the sixth day, after the Xuan family chooses the date of marriage, they prepare a gift to go to the woman's house and ask for permission to get married. Now it is commonly known as "lifting the day" and "sending the sun".
In the past few days, Feibai has been running around the Xuan family and the Liu family, knowing that Liu Yiyu will marry him soon, he is very excited to jump up and down alone.
When he heard the younger brothers and sisters of the Liu family calling his eldest brother-in-law one by one, he nodded pretending to be deep, but after a few breaths of effort, he returned to his original shape and broke his work.
After the seventh day, the fifth brother and Xun'er, the seventh brother and Wen Qing exchanged tokens, decided the family affairs, and waited for Xun'er and Wen Qing to get married.
After that, the Liu family, the Huzi family, and the shopkeeper Zhang, all got into a good mood and set a wedding date on the sixteenth day of the first month of next year.
Seven days later, after Liu Yiyu found that something was wrong with the fourth sister, Liu Yiyu's heart moved slightly when he saw it.
Liu Yiyu looked at the dowry of the Xuan family, 100 acres of fertile land, 1,000 taels of silver, as well as various jewelry, gold and silver jewelry, which is worth no less than 2,000 taels, and the finished clothes, shoes and socks, handkerchiefs made by the Xuan family were given ten copies from head to toe.
There are also 20 horses of various colors, including brocade, satin, muslin, and silk fabrics, of different colors, as for chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep, fish, pigs and other livestock.
There are more dishes that can open more than 20 banquets, but fortunately, it is the cold season of winter, and these things can be kept, just enough for the wedding banquet of their three sisters, and there is no need to buy other things.
