Chapter 112: Big Red Marriage
Outside the courtyard gate of Xie Lin's house in Hexi, there were many villagers gathered early.
In this Jiejia Village, something is like having legs, and soon the whole village will know about it.
The matchmaker Ma Yulian also came to Xie Lin's house very early, wearing a long shirt with white flowers on a blue background, and the folds on Le's face could trap a fly.
"Oh, I said Aunt Ma, you are dressed so festively, as if your family is marrying a daughter."
Dr. Guo's mother-in-law, Hei Xianghua, who was standing at the door, shouted at Ma Yulian in the courtyard with a smile.
Ma Yulian laughed and said: "That's early, you have to wait for a few years, but your daughter has to find her in-law earlier, is there a quite?" If I don't show you, I know who has a little girl and a boy in this village. β
After saying that, the big guys laughed hahaha, this matchmaker looks really popular.
Xie Ya stood at the door of the upper room and looked at all this, thinking, that's so strong, it's really okay, this grandfather's family has made a dowry, and it should be determined to marry Dahong.
That's fine, I don't want to watch Chunsheng miss me, and with my mother-in-law, I can concentrate on living with Dahong.
After thinking about it, Xie Ya walked to the east wing where Dahong's family lived.
Xie Huaxiang and Xu Meili are sitting in the east room of the upper room with Xiyuan, Xie Lin and Zhang are sitting on the kang, smoking dry tobacco, Guo Lixia is sitting on the kang with an indifferent face, and next to him is sitting his son Gouyu, Xie Huashi is cleaning up something with Huashan in the West House.
Guo Lixia has been angry in the past two days, this old lady is partial, a girl's engagement is so grand, when the old Xie family married him, he never moved the public like this, he really looked at people and did things, and he didn't look down on his mother's family.
Xie Huashi tried his best to coax his daughter-in-law: "Okay, daughter-in-law, you see, my father and mother have done their best, look, the money from selling medicinal materials is not for our baby to buy applications, so be content." β
Seeing that her mother-in-law was also making small clothes and quilts for the little things in her arms, Guo Lixia couldn't hold back her anger.
"In a flash, this little girl has reached the age of marriage, and the years are really unforgiving."
Zhang knew that it was Ma Yulian who came in when he heard the voice, and patted the edge of the kang with a smile: "Sit down and look at the old girl, it's really hard, the marriage of these two children is really thanks to your help." β
Regardless of whether it is true or not, Zhang's face smiled like a flower, which surprised Xu Meimei, she really had never seen this old lady so happy.
Ma Yulian sat next to Xu Meili with a smile, looked at Guo Lixia sitting in the kang, and then looked at Lao Jietou, and said with a smile: "I'm a cheap person, looking at the eldest girl of whose family, I want to introduce it, but I am optimistic that your family's big red and that Chunsheng are very compatible, otherwise I won't do this offending thing if I am killed, I know that the matchmaker will be scolded by the two families after that." β
Zhang hurriedly said: "Yes, the eldest sister doesn't want anything, and she doesn't even drink our saliva." What to scold, you also know that our family is not the one who doesn't know how to scold. β
At this time, Lu Hua had already fried a dustpan of melon seeds, let Erhong put them on a plate, and brought them into the house.
"My aunt eats melon seeds."
Xie Huashan came in with a kettle at this time, placed a few teacups on the dining table, and poured tea.
"Hurry up and get some tea."
Ma Yulian was not polite, she directly blew the tea foam floating in the tea bowl, drank two sips and put it on the table, grabbed another handful of melon seeds and began to swallow them, the melon seed skin in her mouth spit directly on the ground, and sprayed Xu Meimei's saliva.
Xu Meili hurriedly stretched out her hand to wipe it, and her body moved to the side, this woman is really not particular, how can this be?
"Okay now, do you know how much the Song family has given you? You guys are making a lot of money raising Nizi. β
At this time, Ma Yulian mysteriously whispered to the Zhang family on the kang.
Zhang is thinking about this matter, this dowry, he also asked Xie Huashan and Lu Hua, people said, give more and give less, and it is not easy to ask if you are a grandmother, but you are not happy in your heart, this family is still in charge of yourself, and you have been together, this Lu Hua is now starting to hide his heart with himself, it seems that he can't get this bride price.
Zhang secretly puffed up, if the little man Lu Hua didn't hand it over to him, he would say that her family's popularity didn't grow up drinking wind.
"Just the silver is two taels, and there are two bags of grain, all of which are affordable things, so you can go to the family and have fun."
Lu Hua glared at Xie Huashan, it seems that this Song family is really optimistic about their own popularity, otherwise they can't pass these dowries.
You must know that one or two pieces of silver in this period, but this small family can live for many months.
It's just that I really don't want my mother-in-law to know how much dowry has been given, this is the child's dowry, and I want to keep it for Xifu to go to private school.
"That's it, we can't be a big sister in vain, have a good meal here at noon, and then let the two children go to your house to have a look."
said that it was a look, Xu Meili knew that this would have to send some hard money to the matchmaker.
Ma Yulian's face suddenly became gorgeous again, she spit out melon seeds with a "poof", and said with a smile: "Hey, I'll just say, I understand that people are easy to do, so let's not go around the corner, you don't have to buy anything when you go to my house, don't waste money." β
Lu Hua looked at Xu Meili, and the two of them looked at each other, tacitly knowing that this guy was asking for money.
"Oh, look, how did I forget this stubble, your beautiful maid is not small, don't stay at home for too long, as the saying goes, women don't stay."
Xu Meili turned to look at Ma Yulian, how can she talk about her own maid?
"Ah, yes, I said the same thing, but this child just didn't listen, saying that it was not in a hurry, and it was not easy for us as fathers and mothers to go out to catch the child."
Xie Huaxiang also nodded helplessly and catered to it.
When Zhang on the kang heard about Xie Ya, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, he coughed, and a mouthful of black phlegm "poof" bypassed Xu Meili and spit on the ground.
Oops, Xu Meili hurriedly got up, turned to look at Zhang, and wanted to speak, but Xie Huaxiang, who was beside him, hurriedly touched his daughter-in-law with his foot.
Xu Meili hurriedly turned around and walked out, and Lu Hua behind her hurriedly followed.
Walking under the eaves, Lu Hua said in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, you can't go, there is no one in this family, and I still rely on you to support the faΓ§ade." β
Xu Meili nodded: "Don't worry, I'll come out to breathe, you can hurry up." β
Lu Hua pulled Xu Meili to his east wing: "Look at it, you are usually busy, it is difficult for our concubines to get together together, eat more at noon today, I boiled pork in this pot, and let my eldest brother reach out and cook a few good dishes, and this meal is made in the upper house." β
Lu Hua happily lifted the lid of the pot for Xu Meili to see.
Xu Meili smiled, this little man Lu Hua has cured Erhong's eye disease since his maid cured Erhong, and he is really much better than Guo Lixia.
"Well, Hua Xiang's cooking is okay, I'll do it."
The two of them entered the house talking and laughing.
In the room, Da Hong was sitting on the kang, wearing a pink dress with oblique buttons, and a round neck, which made her look childish.
After smearing powder on his face, he felt that the child had matured a lot.
Erhong and Xifu, who were sitting next to them, stared at the eldest sister, who should have seen that the eldest sister was dressed up well today.
Xie Ya also sat on the side, listening to Da Hong's words, looking at the happiness in Da Hong's eyes, Xie Ya didn't feel good in her heart.
This child is too young, so he shouldn't know what it means to be married, but he just obeyed his parents' orders.
Also, the women of this era have come over like this, and Da Hong is just one of the thousands of girls.
"Sister Xieya, look at my sister who is a year younger than you and is engaged, you are still a year older than my eldest sister, why don't your parents find you an in-law to marry?"
Erhong looked at Xie Ya while munching on melon seeds and asked.
It's like it's normal to be red.
"Erhong, I don't think we girls can marry ourselves so early, we still have a lot of things to do, such as you can earn money to go to a private school, or learn a trade, and you can support yourself in the future. We are still too young, and there are many things we really don't understand, and we can't let our marriage ruin us. β
Hearing Xie Ya say this, the big red little bun suddenly had no smile on his face, shook his head and said: "Sister Xie Ya, I know who Chunsheng likes, did you watch me and Chunsheng get married, and you felt uncomfortable, so you said this?" Sister, I'm not stupid at all, I know that I am the best match for Chunsheng, you are not the mother-in-law that Chunsheng is looking for, little sister, please don't disturb Chunsheng and my marriage. β
Yes?
Xie Ya frowned incomprehensibly and looked at Da Hong, who stretched out her hand to hold her, shook her head and wanted to go to the ground, but saw the door open, and her mother and second aunt came in.
Busy said: "Today, I will explain to Dahong in front of my mother and second aunt that Chunsheng has nothing to do with me, not before, and not in the future." I don't know what Chunsheng thinks, but I know what kind of life my heart wants. I hope this is the last time you Dahong will say this, and I'm not welcome to do it again! β
As she spoke, Xie Ya blushed and raised her feet on the kang and was about to go out.
The big red on the kang made a big red face, but he hummed in his heart, seeing that you Xie Ya cares about what I say like this, it is still interesting to Brother Chunsheng.
"Look at my sister, I just said everything I thought in my heart, and I knew that you were so angry, so I won't say it. Don't go, won't my sister stop talking about it in the future? β
As he spoke, he was going to go down to the ground and drag him off.
Seeing this, Lu Hua hurriedly stopped Xie Ya: "Look at what you sisters can't say, you can say that you have relieved your burden, okay, hurry up and accompany Da Hong, Da Hong will rely on you to accompany him today." β
Xie Ya sneered, this is not a marriage, why do you still need a bridesmaid?
Not to mention, when I got married in modern colleagues and classmates, I was a bridesmaid a lot, and I didn't grab a bouquet of flowers, but there was no Prince Charming by my side, which made my parents anxious.
This has come to this era, I became a fourteen-year-old girl in seconds, which made me almost faint, I don't have to worry about finding my mother-in-law's family, and my father and mother can't urge marriage.
However, I didn't expect this woman to marry quite early in this era, this big red is still her sister, and she is engaged, so she really doesn't give herself time to breathe.
