Zhang Yuejiao was a little ashamed, the dowry given by the family was indeed average, but now it seems that when her mother-in-law said this, I am afraid that everyone in the family is not satisfied. Zhang Yuejiao went to the kitchen to cook, Pearl called the third Zhou Deng, and when she saw that the third child was still unhappy, she pulled him to sit down and said,

"My mother found out that she was white. If she is not red, it does not mean that she has a relationship with others. ”

"Mother, this can't be."

"Third child, can my mother tolerate broken shoes? I care more about it than you, first, I have investigated, Zhang Yuejiao is very peaceful at home, there are no bad rumors, and second, my mother...... I just gave him a Gu worm. If you ask it, there will be no falsehood. ”

"What? Mother, are you still going to do this? ”

"You don't know there's more to it! I got a Gu worm, she didn't know, she was stunned, I wanted to ask, I asked everything. There really is no one else. I also checked it out myself. There will never be a fake. Women are not popular, it is not a new thing, some are naughty when they were children, and they broke it without paying attention. There are also people who are not born with that membrane. This can only be said to be her unlucky. But it can be regarded as her luck, her mother has the ability to get to the truth. ”

"Really? Mother? ”

"It's true, it's the eldest daughter who married you, so don't keep your face with it. She's unlucky, too. However, her mother also told her about the dowry. Your two sisters-in-law are not rich in their families, but the dowry we sent has been returned, and the money has been added. But your daughter-in-law took the initiative to leave the money to her mother's family. The dowry is also average. I told her not to let her make up for her mother's family without our permission. In this regard, you have to pay attention. I can't be of the same mind as you. More hateful than not being a big girl. ”

"Got it, mother, don't worry. If this girl eats inside and out, I'll divorce her. Zhou Deng said fiercely.

Pearl originally wanted to persuade him more, but after thinking about it carefully, he didn't need to say anything, he did everything he had to do, and with Zhang Yuejiao's low and small appearance, it was estimated that he would take down this stupid boy in a few days. Don't bother with her.

Out of the third child's house, Pearl went to see her four daughters. They've all changed into regular shoes now. Pearl went back to her room and gave them her shoes so they could continue wearing them today. Shoes worn and shoes that weren't worn. You can see it at a glance. After that, Pearl went to Zhou Ze's house, and Zhou Ze was already dressed under the service of the four girls, with joy on his face. Pearl sat down beside him. Zhou Ze said.

"What's wrong?"

"Huh?"

"You've got something on your mind. It's definitely not a trivial matter, don't hide it from me, say it quickly. Zhou Ze was a little anxious. As soon as he was in a hurry, he coughed, and Pearl hurriedly gave him a breath and said,

"It's just the old three. The dowry of the old family and the second family was sent back together with the dowry. I also bought a lot more for my daughter. But the third family only brought back twenty taels of silver. The third child felt faceless. ”

When Zhou Ze heard this, he said to Pearl, "You have to talk about the third child, it's all a trivial matter." We won't spend her dowry. ”

This incident illustrates a very important issue, first, the Zhang family does not think about their daughter, and they did not expect that their daughter would be looked down upon when she arrived at her in-law's house. The dowry prepared was not very good. Is this hurting my daughter? The third daughter-in-law is even more stupid, just thinking about subsidizing her mother's family, don't you want to live a good life with the third daughter? Isn't marrying our family to be a daughter-in-law for our family, but for their Zhang family? The key problem is that the third child and I are worried about her eating inside and out. ”

"That's what you're saying. By the way, yesterday I saw four girls wearing bright clothes, and many people praised it! The dowry of the four girls has to be prepared now. Be prepared. ”

"Don't worry! I know it. By the way, I want to ask you, why did our parents leave their hometown in the first place? ”

When Zhou Ze heard this, he was silent for a long time before he said, "At the beginning, our father was the eldest, but my grandparents were eccentric, and my grandmother was the step-room, and she gave birth to the second child. When his father died, his stepmother pressed him and made the second child the patriarch. Our father left his hometown with his mother. ”

I'm afraid things are not so simple, listening to Zhou Ze's light cat downplay, although he wants to go back, but he is not so insistent, he knows that this matter is definitely not so simple. Forget it, it's better to think long-term.

Soon, the meal was ready, Pearl helped Zhou Ze to the hall, everyone sat down, and when they first entered the door, they gave the eldest daughter-in-law a pair of gold rings. Although the conditions of the second daughter-in-law were not good at that time, it was also a gold ring. The third daughter-in-law gave a gold ring as a dowry, so these things were married. Something happened in the morning, and Pearl temporarily changed something for her. I thought that there was already a pair of rings in the dowry, so I planned to give a silver gilt hairpin, but now I am afraid that it is not good, so I chose an ordinary silver hairpin. The gift for her husband was two five-cent gold nudes.

Soon, everyone was ready, Pearl deliberately glanced at her eldest son Zhou Rong, and saw that he was in a trance, and felt even more uncomfortable in his heart. What's more strange is that Zheng has been looking at his face all the time. Could it be that she was also involved in yesterday's incident?

Zhang Yue'e had already cooked the meal, changed her clothes, and combed her hair into a woman's bun. He wears a bright red jacket embroidered with peony flowers, and a padded jacket with a rose-red stand-up collar inside. With two golden hairpins on his head, which were in the bridal gift, earrings, bracelets, rings, and makeup on his face, Zhou Deng and Zhang Yue's expressions eased a lot. Pearl was also smiling.

After giving tea to Zhou Ze and Pearl, Pearl also said that he would live a good life. Zhou Ze was very happy, and said a few words, and Pearl also laughed with cooperation. When giving tea to Zhou Rong and his wife, the two of them gave red envelopes, and Zhang's gave shoes made by himself. I also made small shoes for the two children. It's the same thing for Zhou Xin's family.

After that, the whole family has breakfast, according to custom, the first morning of the new daughter-in-law entering the door, is to make breakfast for the whole family, Zhang's made pancakes, it is oil cakes, the oil on it is not a lot, it is soft, and millet porridge, the rest of the dishes yesterday are hot. I also cut some pickles. Mixed with sesame oil and chopped green onions, which is what pearls often do. The only one is a dish made by Zhang's, and that is fried shredded potatoes, which is okay!

After eating, the three daughters-in-law and the four girls began to clean up the house, clean up, and borrowed a lot of neighbors' dishes, chopsticks, tables and stools for happy events. Pearl returned to the house and kept an account of all the gifts given by the villagers. Contrast. A gift received this time. Significantly more lucrative than the previous two. However, what attracted Pearl's attention was a few of Zhou Rong's friends, this time the family held a happy event, and the two people who were cleaned up by themselves, Pearl remembered. Zhou Rong led four friends to meet him and Zhou Ze at that time. And introduced them one by one. The two people who were packed up. One is named Feng Jia, whose family is a wealthy family in the town, and I heard that there are thousands of acres of fertile land. There are also shops in the county and in the prefecture. The other is named Xie Gang, whose family is in the fabric business, and the business is very big, and his parents are not around, and he lives with his grandparents in his hometown here, and he is very rich. Among these two people, Feng Jia gave two good silks, one red and one blue, and also gave ten taels of silver as a gift. The other Xie Gang sent four fine fabrics, including silk and brocade, all of which were festive colors, and the colors were very good. There is also a pair of silver-gilt bracelets.

The other two people, one is named Zhang Jian, and his father is Zhang Eighteen, the head catcher of this county. Pearl never forgets, looking at people will never make mistakes, this Zhang Jian seems to owe Zhou Rong a favor, and Zhou Rong is not very warm. It was a gift box of four gifts, which contained a piece of red silk ruler, two cans of tea, the champion and the golden nude in the four eights, and a fan. This is a standard gift for ordinary guests of large families, and if it is not a high status, you have to feel that it is a big face when you get something. But Pearl is not such a person, and when she receives such a gift, isn't that just accepting the food that comes her way?

There is also a person named Wang, who is very handsome, but more like he came to see the excitement, it is said that he is also from the county, and his family is an official eunuch, and the specific situation is not clear to Zhou Rong. He also paid more attention to pearls, obviously because there was a gap between the temperament of pearls and his perception of rural women. There is another person on the gift list, who gave five taels of silver, which is also a lot, this person wrote Fan Zhengcheng, this is estimated to be Zhou Rong's classmate, but the other party did not come.

The people in the village generally gave rulers, most of them were coarse cloths, some fine cloths, and the most of them were chickens, ducks and geese at home, as well as eggs. There are many of them, but they still have to be carefully recorded, and the pearl received the gift at the time, and I remember it very well in my heart, but these things are still written down and shown to others in the future. After getting the accounts, Pearl took the account book and showed it to Zhou Ze,

"You see, this is the village chief's family, and the village chief's family sent us a piece of woolen green cloth and a basket of fifty eggs." Pearl smiled and said to Zhou Ze,

Zhou Ze said with a smile, "It's not bad." The village chief's mother-in-law is very stingy. ”

"Not really! The time I sent pork, I asked the second child to go, and sent a pig back elbow, which is a lot. Pearl said in her heart, in order to invite the village chief to chat with Zhou Ze, Pearl also gave two pieces of jacquard satin! However, compared to the gifts that their family gives to other people, this is not bad. The village head, Guo Changsheng, is fifty years old this year, and his mother-in-law, Guo Ning, can be half of the family's family, and they all call her Lao Diao's mother-in-law, and she trains several sons, daughters-in-law, granddaughters, granddaughters, and granddaughters-in-law to granddaughters-in-law. The eldest son of the village chief is called Guo Yong, he is upright and fair, and he can suppress his mother in a serious way, and the next village chief is estimated to be him.

"He's the village chief! This is a good life for our family, otherwise, no matter how much you give, don't think she can give you such a gift. Zhou Ze smoked the cigarette pouch and pot, clicked in his mouth, and didn't forget to say to the pearl, "It's really good for you to make this tobacco, and there is a fragrance, don't rush your nose, this tobacco is not cheap, right?" ”

"You just have this hobby, can I still give up? Rest assured! It won't cost a few dollars, but next time I'll get you a sack back, let you smoke, and give it to your old buddies. Pearl laughs and says that it takes longer to get a sack of tobacco than it does to cut a gem! But it's good to get along with Zhou Ze like this, Pearl is purposeful to treat him, think about him, heart his wishes, coax him to be happy, and take care of his daily life carefully and thoughtfully.

And Pearl can also feel the warmth and tacit understanding between elderly couples from Zhou Ze's body, in his heart, what he is most worried about is not what happens to his children, what will happen to Pearl in the future, is what Zhou Ze is most worried about. I'd rather not see a doctor, but I have to leave the silver to the pearl, just for the pearl's life to be better, such love, affectionate. Pearl was moved, envious, and sincerely hoped that Zhou Ze could live a few more years. Although there is no intimacy between men and women with Zhou Ze, the feeling of being loved and loved with life is really good. (To be continued.) )
