Xiao Hong looked at the dowry upstairs and downstairs, and realized that it was really not easy to get married, from gold and silver jewelry, bedding, to peanuts that were specially dyed red, tea, tobacco and alcohol, and candy.

There are eight catties, as well as candy, red dates, dried lychees, peanuts, and dried lotus seeds with longan.

Bedding, bowls, plates, tea cups and other dowries need to be in pairs, and they should also be dressed in red and hung colors, and put some evergreen and cypress branches.

This is thanks to last year, the provincial capital is no longer popular with traditional furniture dowry.

Now the furniture is directly asked to go back to the carpenter to make it, and the wardrobe and desk are all ready.

And relatives and friends also congratulated each other with gifts, which is adding makeup and "giving marriage".

Like Jin Shaocheng and Liu Haibo, they all give red envelopes.

And they all wrapped a big red envelope of 6,000 yuan.

But Xiao Hong couldn't get excited when she thought that they weren't married yet, and when they got married, she would have to return the red envelope.

There were many people who came back this time, so she arranged for the Zhao family to live in the old house, Zhao's grandparents lived on the third floor here, and Wu Julan and his wife lived in the guest room on the second floor, so they could also arrange to live.

As for the relatives of the Xiao family, then ask them to stay in a hotel very close to home.

Xiao Hong didn't want her parents to come, but unfortunately, at four o'clock in the afternoon, three vans and a truck came back, not only aunts and uncles, but also second cousins, grandmothers, and second aunts with their children.

There is also the little daughter-in-law of the third grandmother's family who also accompanied the third grandmother, and the fourth grandmother was accompanied by the youngest son of the family.

They all felt that the distance was too far and it was inconvenient to carry things, so they gave red envelopes.

and Xiao Jianhua and his wife also came with their children.

After Xiao Jianhua was scolded by his eldest brother, he could only grit his teeth and prepare a dowry of 3,000 yuan.

Quilts, cloth tents, plates, bowls, and lamps were also loaded into a truck, and there were a lot of them.

The truck was bought by Xiao Jianhua before, but it didn't have a carriage, but this kind of truck could hold more things than a truck with a compartment.

They originally thought that they had prepared a lot, but when they carried it into the door and saw all kinds of quilts and electrical appliances prepared inside, the smiles on their faces froze.

When Wu Julan saw them coming, she herself was unwilling to entertain, but she didn't want her two daughters to be criticized for this.

Therefore, she whispered to the Xiao sisters: "Anyway, tomorrow is Xiao Hong's big day, they are here, Xiao Fang, you should keep an eye on them more, don't make a fuss about trivial things." ”

Xiao Hong's good life, she doesn't want to be affected by them.

Xiao Hong responded, stepped forward and greeted them one by one with a smile, and solemnly thanked them for coming, and then invited everyone to sit down and drink tea and eat melons and fruits: "Dinner will be soon, and we won't have a snack." ”

Xiao Fang also followed her sister and shouted, so she sat next to Xiao Jianhua, took a peach and began to gnaw it.

Xiao's second grandfather is not young, but his body is very good, he first observed the spacious store, and then sighed: "It is worthy of being a provincial town, even the streets are wider than our countryside, and there are so many cars and cars coming and going, which is really magnificent." ”

"It's not, thanks to Xiao Hong's thoughtfulness, he asked the car to pick us up." Grandma Xiao San was also very excited: "I didn't expect that when I was young, the farthest I went to the city, and when I was old, I could come to the provincial capital to go around." ”

Xiao Si's grandmother also agreed: "Are we stained with Xiao Hong's light?" ”

In fact, the older ones were originally not ready to come, they were too far away, and they had to change cars, and they were afraid that they would get lost.

But I didn't expect Xiao Haodong to drive a van to pick them up, and said that they would be delivered by package.

After all, they are all so old, and if they miss this opportunity, they will not have the opportunity to come to the provincial capital in the future.

And Xiao Hong has been going to them every year to pay New Year's greetings, and she has also eaten a lot of their New Year's goods, and they feel that they still have to come to support her.

Xiao Hongzui was sweet: "It's the grandparents who love me, so they will come all the way to send me out, it's really hard for the grandparents." ”

"Let's go rest first after dinner, and then let my second brother and Xiao Fang accompany everyone to go out for a walk."

Xiao Hong is really grateful to them for coming to marry at such an old age, of course, I want them to stay for two more days and have fun, so that they will not be wronged for their hard work to come to the provincial capital.

Xiao Jianhua didn't want to live here, he still thought that this store belonged to Zhao Laosi, anyway, he was uncomfortable after coming in.

Therefore, he thought that Xiao Hong had arranged for them to live here, and immediately said: "No need to prepare our room, I'll go to your uncle's house to live, anyway, it's very convenient for me to drive a car." ”

Xiao Hong didn't want them to stay, stay away, everyone was comfortable, so he smiled and responded: "That's okay, I can talk to the uncle." ”

Liu Meijuan couldn't help but look around the dowry and asked in a low voice: "Are all electrical appliances a man's dowry?" And those dowries, you also spent a lot of money, right? Did you use the bride price given by the man? ”

She now has a wide range of knowledge, and at a cursory glance, she estimates that Xiao Hong's dowry is worth more than 20,000 yuan.

Because the light electrical appliances cost more than 10,000, and there are so many dowries.

At this moment, she was really shocked, could it be that getting married in the provincial capital is already so extravagant?

She prefers to believe that this is Xiao Hong's heart, and it is Xiao Hong who has taken a lot of dowry and bought her a rich dowry.

However, this is better than hearing that these are Wu Julan's purchases for their daughter.

Otherwise, wouldn't it seem that they were not as generous as Wu Julan?

She didn't want to be crushed by Wu Julan and them.

"Of course, electrical appliances are all dowry," she sent to the door to find abuse, of course Xiao Hong was not polite: "But everything else is prepared for me by my mother." ”

She didn't specifically propose that the eldest aunt had prepared a rich dowry for herself, because she was afraid that when Lou Fenfang would get married, the eldest aunt would have too little money, and Liu Meijuan would take it out and say it.

If this matter is said explicitly, it will affect their brotherly relationship.

Liu Meijuan smiled reluctantly: "Then your mother is really bothered." ”

Xiao Jianhua's face sank even more, feeling that he was compared to Zhao Laosi.

He couldn't help glaring at his wife, annoyed that she would embarrass them by mentioning this topic, so he could only ask, "Have they been here before, uncle?" ”

Liu Meijuan also inquired: "What did they send your uncle?" ”

She also wanted to know what her eldest brother and sister-in-law had prepared for Xiao Hong, and she would know what she wanted in the future.

Xiao Hong said vaguely: "I sent a quilt or something." ”

After speaking, he got up and went to the kitchen: "I'll go and see if the dishes are cooked?" ”

Today and tomorrow the store is closed, but the staff still has no holiday, helping to cook and boil water.

For dinner, there are ten dishes per table, six meats, three vegetables and one soup.

Fortunately, the store is large, and the two families occupy one side, which makes it feel that the well water does not interfere with the river water.
