Chapter 23 Li Xin gets married

Asking for votes, asking for collection, asking for comments, ignoring these six words is not a good sister paper! ~

***

On the eighth day of the ninth month, the auspicious day of the zodiac, it is advisable to marry and settle down.

The Guan family cleaned up and down yesterday, but it was a big mud-walled house, it was really poor, and there was no extra rations, let alone extra furniture, and it didn't take much work. The old juncture changed into a half-new dress that he would only wear during the New Year's holidays, and Guan Ming also deliberately picked it up, which was a little cramped.

"Ah Wen, your fifth sister said that the girl of the Li family is literate...... Isn't this spirit going to be very high......"

Guan Ming rubbed his hands and paced back and forth, Ah Xiu dressed up slightly, stood there smartly, looked at her eldest brother and said, "Sister-in-law, she is literate and hyphenated, and her appearance is ...... Good-looking, and kind ......"

Guan Wen came back from the second brother and the fourth brother to the Li family, and Guan Ming asked them to talk about the Li family. The one who attracted the most attention was Ah Xiu, who had direct contact with his future wife. Ever since Ah Xiu said that the girls of the Li family can read and write, the whole Guan family has a mentality similar to "panic", among which the youngest man, Guan Zhicheng, reacted the strongest.

Even if Ah Xiu repeatedly said that the girl of the Li family has a good temperament and will do work, the Guan family doesn't believe it very much, and once had the idea of "this family can't get married", and wanted Guan Wen to find a matchmaker to talk about it again.

Guan Wen thinks that if girls are literate in reading, they are more reasonable and more able to reason with others. The more books you read, the more you will see, and you will not be like those in the village, rolling on the ground at every turn, crying and wiping the ground. He thinks that such a woman is better, she has read books, she is thin-skinned, and I believe that she will not learn from the village woman to scold or anything.

His father still thought in his heart that Sun said in front of all the villagers that his future daughter-in-law was Sister Yao's son, and he was a little embarrassed, and because he knew that the girl of the Li family could read and write, he was afraid that his daughter-in-law would need them to provide for him after she married back, so he talked in front of him every day. Guan Wen made it clear every time, although the people in Lijia Village knew about the past of the Li family girl, they were not voluntary. Besides, when the girl of the Li family came back, although there were rumors, no one said that she hooked up with men and behaved inappropriately or anything, so it should be a good thing.

On the big day of getting married, Guan Ming still talked about Li Xin's ability to read and write. Guan Wen had already changed into a red groom's clothes, frowned, and said to his father: "Dad, what is the son-in-law like when the son marries a wife today, and the father will be able to see it when the tea is served tomorrow." Dad has always said that she has a high spirit, but no one has seen her, how can she conclude like this? The Li family didn't think we were poor, and they didn't say anything when we gave us a dowry. The only girl in the family also gave it to me, and my father still said like this if he let others spread it, wouldn't this be a dig out people's hearts. ”

Guan Ming choked and said curtly: "Isn't Dad worried......"

"If you marry and come home, you will be a member of our family, even if you don't know how to do housework, you can learn slowly, and if you are lazy, you can slowly rectify the problem. What else is Dad worried about? ”

Guan Ming sighed, and Lao Guan slapped his son on the back with a palm, and his voice was like a bell, "What are you worried about!" What do you sigh on a happy day? Bad luck! ”

Guan Ming hurriedly put on a smiling face and urged Guan Wen to greet him.

Li Xin was dug up from the bed by Liu early and wanted to paint her makeup. Li Xin refused to wipe the white powder and rouge on his face. Liu glared at her, she had to put makeup on her, and she couldn't push it off when she pushed back and forth, so Li Xin could only let Liu rub her monkey buttocks.

Jiang came in with a slightly bulging belly and brought her a bowl of sticky porridge. Li Xin took it and drank it with a grunt, licking her lips, "The second brother and sister have a heart." ”

"When the eldest sister gets married, I naturally have to do my part."

While talking, Zhang also came in, drove the bouncing Shanzi and Xiaodou out, and did not allow them to enter the new house. Zhang happily took out a small packet of dried meat and asked Li Xin to take it. "It takes half a day to walk from our village to Lotus Village, and if you are hungry on this road, you can eat something, this thing can withstand hunger."

Li Xin hurriedly thanked Zhang, took the jerky and put it in the sleeve cage, and smiled at Zhang.

The daughters of the Li family all gathered in Li Xin's house, and the mothers and sons talked and laughed, and the Liu family laughed the most happily, and there was no lack of earnest expression between the words that Li Xin wanted to conceive a child and have a baby as soon as possible after getting married. Li Xin just laughed, and it was not good to say something unpleasant on the big day to make her mother unhappy, so she responded with a stack of voices.

Li Houzhong's eldest brother and third brother both families came. Since Li Xin came back, the two families who "don't save when they see death" in Liu's mouth have never seen her in the future. Li Xin is also happy not to deal with it, otherwise she has to talk about how things happened back then, I'm sorry for you but we can't help it, she really doesn't want to listen. Li Xin didn't have any bad feelings towards them, but she didn't have much of a good impression of them. Greeted people without being salty, not enthusiastic, but there was no shortage of courtesy. The two families were chattering, the ladies helped with the stove affairs, and the men greeted the guests outside the house. As for Li Xin's grandmother, Li Yue, who lived in Li Houbo's house, dozed off as soon as she entered the house, and lay in bed in a daze and couldn't get up. Liu was so happy not to serve her that he let her sleep.

When Guan Wen came to greet his relatives, he still scared several children.

He cleaned it up, but the scars on his face were still obvious, long and hideous, and the old men would be stunned when they saw it, let alone children.

Liu's Zhang had seen him, but he didn't have a big reaction, but Jiang was startled, and was supported by Li Erlang's waist before he gasped and stopped.

Li Houzhong is not very sociable, and he didn't know what to say in the face of this son-in-law who met for the first time, so he laughed twice. It was his third brother, who owned a blacksmith shop in the town, who was more sleek, to greet people, and to park the sedan chair and come in for dinner.

The men were eating and drinking, Li Xin was obediently sitting on the bed and waiting, and only the Jiang family was with her, and the Liu family and the Zhang family had to go to entertain guests.

Things are going very smoothly, no one in the Yang family comes to make trouble, God is also very face-saving, the weather is fine, not sun, not cold, and the temperature is suitable.

By the time Li Fei came to carry her, she had completely done a good job of psychological construction.

From this day on, she is married. Instead of the original Li Xin, who was filial to her parents and cared about her family, now from one family to another, she feels that she can do better. Two families maintain the happiness of her life.

Li Fei carried her out on his back, and his steps were steady. Liu's eyes were red from the moment she put on the hijab, and her nose was sour, but she still couldn't help crying. There is no custom of letting the bride cry and marry in Lijia Village, but Li Xin still burst into tears when she heard the whimper that Liu Shiqiang held back next to her.

There was a lively beating of gongs and drums outside, and after Li Xin came out, the sound gradually stopped. This is to leave a quiet atmosphere so that the bride can leave her mother's house for her wedding.

Li Fei carried Li Xin to the door of the courtyard and gently put her down. Li Xin only heard his eldest brother say, "Be kind to my sister, she has suffered, don't let her suffer anything else in the future." ”

A calm male voice said, "Uncle don't worry." ”

Then his second brother's slightly louder voice said, "My sister's family has someone!" My sister was bullied, and we didn't follow it! ”

"Stinky boy, go aside!"

It was her mother's roar, slightly out of tune, nasal. Li Xin's body was slightly stunned, and she could already smell the smell of her mother's body, mixed with a faint earthy fragrance.

"Xin'er, after getting married, you must serve your father-in-law and grandfather well, and you must also treat your husband well, live a good life, treat your husband's brothers and sisters well, and have a good relationship with each concubine......"

Liu Shi said a few "okay" in a row, and Li Xin's tears under the hijab couldn't help dripping. Fortunately, it was only two or three drops, which made her stop it.

"Mother, I know, listen to my mother, live a good life."

Liu nodded, and Li Ming rushed up and hugged Li Xin's waist. A twelve-year-old boy is already a half-year-old, and such a move is somewhat surprising.

"Sister......" Li Ming called Li Xin sullenly, Li Xin patted his head as before, "Ming'er is good, study hard in the school, mother, she is still waiting for you to earn her a life to come back." ”

Li Ming just didn't say anything, and was silent for a moment before saying, "Sister, you have to come back often." ”

Li Xin said okay, and Li Ming let go of her waist and smiled at her.

"Girl, go quickly, lest you miss the hour later." Li Houzhong said in a muffled voice: "Uncle has been waiting for a long time. ”

The next moment, Li Xin's hand was grabbed by Li Houzhong, and he turned his hand in the blink of an eye, and he was already held by another pair of thick palms.

"Uncle, I handed over Sister Xin to you, treat her well."

Guan Wen's voice was close at hand, "Father-in-law, rest assured." ”

Suona, gongs, drums, one after another, Li Xin was held by Guan Wen, the small, delicate slender hands were wrapped in the thick palms with calluses, the man next to him walked slightly lame, but not chaotic at all, taking care of her pace, walking beside her extremely steadily. All her hesitation and uneasiness slowly faded away, and all that remained on the tip of her nose was the smell of sweat on the man beside her, mixed with the rouge gouache that her mother rubbed on her, but it was so reassuring.

They walked towards the sedan chair and were about to start their new lives.
