"I'll just say, it's still our good baby." Wu Guixiang had a resolute expression on her face, "Let me think about it, how can I eat this pheasant?" ”

Li Xiulian hurriedly said: "This chicken must be stewed to replenish the body." ”

Zhang Xinlan shook her head and said: "This kind of pheasant running in the mountains is very chewy, and it is better to eat it when stewed, so it is better to eat it when it is burned." ”

Su Qingyun nodded in agreement, in terms of eating, it was her second aunt who had more right to speak.

"Then burn it and eat it." Wu Guixiang made the final decision.

She beckoned Su Congwu to dispose of the chicken, looked at the beautiful feathers on the pheasant, and Wu Guixiang said again: "This feather is weird and beautiful, good baby, do you want to keep it for you to make a few shuttlecocks to play?" ”

"Yes!" Su Qingyun replied quickly, there is a lack of entertainment, and shuttlecock kicking is also a kind, and these shuttlecocks made of feathers must be very beautiful.

After Su Congwu scalded off the chicken feathers with hot water, Wu Guixiang didn't know where to find two copper coins at the bottom of the box, and then wrapped them in thick rags, sewing them carefully one by one, and a small and beautiful shuttlecock was ready.

Later generations have rarely seen this kind of handmade shuttlecock, Su Qingyun held it in his hand, he couldn't put it down, and he played with Wen Sisi in the yard before he had eaten.

After a while, the two of them were tired and sweaty, and listening to the sound of the house calling them to eat, the two girls entered the back room.

Dinner is basically leftovers from noon, and everyone knows that the big dishes are all at tomorrow's wedding banquet.

Because there were many things the next day, the Su family went to bed early, Wen Sisi and Su Congjun were not married and couldn't sleep together, so she slept with Su Qingyun.

Li Xiulian was afraid that they would be cold, so one of them covered a quilt, and the two girls were lying in the quilt, without sleep, Su Qingyun was because the time was too early, and Wen Sisi realized that she was going to get married tomorrow, and the nervous feeling suddenly came.

"Sister Sisi, you will get married tomorrow, how do you feel now?" Su Qingyun asked curiously, she had never been in love, let alone married, these were strange and distant to her.

Wen Si thought for a moment and said, "I was nervous, I was looking forward to it, and I was a little scared. ”

"Scared?"

"Because I think that after tomorrow I will have another identity." Wen Sisi covered half of her face, "After tomorrow, I will no longer be just the daughter of the Wen family, I am still the wife of my brother in the army, and the granddaughter-in-law of the Su family, all of which make me a little scared, if you are going to get married in the future, you will also feel this way." ”

"But I know that I won't regret it, because Brother Congjun is very good to me, and you are also very good to me." Wen Sisi firmly said that it was these things that made her feel that she would not marry the wrong person.

"That's good." Su Qingyun sighed.

Wen Sisi turned sideways to face her and teased, "What? Yunyun also has someone you like? ”

"I don't." Su Qingyun lazily retorted, "I just see others happy, and I will feel happy myself." ”

"Yes, Yunyun will have such a day." Wen Sisi's tone was firm.

The two girls chatted and fell asleep in a daze.

The second day, November 15, is an auspicious day, and it is appropriate to get married.

Early in the morning, it was only five o'clock, and the family began to get busy, and the women dressed the bride, cleaned up and down, and prepared the dishes for the wedding banquet at noon.

The pot in the kitchen was not big enough to be busy, so the men built a makeshift stove in the corner of the courtyard, built it with bricks, and then borrowed the cauldron from the former commune canteen of the brigade and washed it before they could start stir-frying.

Inside the house, Su Qingyun looked at Wen Sisi, who was wearing a red new dress with a nervous and shy face, and couldn't take his eyes off, "I know why I now say that the bride is the most beautiful." ”

Wen Sisi smiled, "It's your sweet mouth." ”

Su Qingyun looked her up and down to see if there was anything wrong, Wen Sisi's face was very white, and she specially painted it today, which made her even fairer, and her delicate eyebrows were curved, and she couldn't find anything wrong, except for ......

"Sister Sisi, should your lips be a little redder, it will definitely look better."

"Lips?" Wen Sisi touched her lips, "Is there any red paper at home?" I'll take a sip. ”

"Don't do that, you wait." Su Qingyun ran to her father's room, she opened the drawer of the cabinet next to the bed, took out a small iron box, and ran to her mother again.

Su Qingyun ran back to her eldest brother's room and showed Wen Sisi the iron box in her hand, the white box was printed with an ancient lady pattern, which looked simple and exquisite.

"What is this?" Wen Sisi wondered, it was a bit like alabaster.

"The lipstick that my father bought for my mother is so beautiful." Su Qingyun said.

This is what Su Aimin brought back to Qin Ying from the provincial capital last time, although in this rural area, no one makes up or paints these things at all, but he thinks that other women have it, and his daughter-in-law also has it, and after buying it, Qin Ying tried the color at home, and he didn't paint it out at all.

Su Qingyun unscrewed the lid, it was bright red fat, she stretched out a finger, rubbed it a little, and then moved it to Wen Sisi's lips, staining the red fat.

"Sister Sisi, take a sip."

Wen Sisi pursed her lips as she said, the red fat faded, and the bright color set off her eyebrows and eyes, and her slightly shy face was as beautiful as a peach and plum, which was very moving.

"It's so pretty." Su Qingyun nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, don't boast, I'm embarrassed to praise again." Wen Sisi laughed.

"Then Sister Sisi, you just wait for your groom to come and greet you." Su Qingyun said with a smile.

As the two were talking, there was a commotion outside, and it was the Wen family's parents who arrived by the first car.

Li Xiulian hurriedly welcomed people in, with a smile on her face, "Ouch Qin family, you guys are really early, sit down." ”

Su Congjun, who was also wearing a new suit, took over the things in the hands of Wen's father and Wen's mother, he was wearing a navy blue dress jacket today, with a white shirt inside and black pants underneath, the whole person looked energetic, and there was joy between his eyebrows and eyes.

Wen Kaifu said with a smile: "Joining the army today is really spirited. ”

Su Congjun scratched his head embarrassedly.

Mother Wen hurriedly asked, "What about Sisi?" Where is she? ”

Li Xiulian pointed to Su Congjun's room, "In the Congjun house, Qingyun is with you, you can go and have a look." ”

"Master, I'll take you there." Su Congjun volunteered.

"Eh, what are you going to do?" Li Xiulian quickly grabbed Su Congjun, "I've told you a few times, I can't see the bride before the auspicious time!" ”

"I forgot." Su Congjun really forgot about this stubble.

"Let's see for ourselves."

Wen's father and Wen's mother walked into Su Congjun's room, looking at the red eyes full of red, the big red quilt, the red happy words pasted on the wall, and the red hot water bottle on the ground, and nodded in their hearts, although the Su family is a rural family, they also work hard and do not treat their daughters badly.

Su Qingyun immediately greeted, "Uncle, aunt, hello, come and sit." ”

"Mom and Dad, you came here so early?" Wen Sisi looked back and said in surprise.

Mother Wen saw her daughter who was wearing a red dress and was shy to be married, and her tears fell instantly after not sleeping all night.

"Sisi."

"Mom, don't cry." As soon as Wen Sisi saw her mother crying, she immediately panicked, and tears instantly filled her eyes, and she couldn't fall off.

Su Qingyun was anxious, "Sister Sisi, you can't cry, the makeup will be spent later." ”

Wen Kaifu frowned, "What are you crying about on your daughter's big day?" ”

"I'm happy." Mother Wen wiped her face and touched her daughter's face again, "Don't cry, we don't cry, today is your big day, you have to be happy to get married." ”

In addition to happiness, she is more reluctant in her eyes, and the feelings of marrying a daughter-in-law and marrying a daughter are never the same.

Afraid that standing here would be more emotional, Wen's father and Wen's mother went out after seeing their daughter and asked the Su family if there was anything they needed help with.

"No, you two can rest, there are so many of us here." Li Xiulian said with a smile.

It's not just the people of the Su family who are busy today, now getting married is a big joy in the village, and people who know each other have also come to help, just to say that the tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks for this noon wedding banquet are all borrowed from several families, otherwise it is not enough at all.

Seeing that the sun was rising, Wu Guixiang beckoned Su Congwu to start setting up a table in the middle of the courtyard, and put the dried fruits and snacks such as candy, melon seeds, peanuts, etc., on the table for the guests who were waiting to come.

It didn't take long for the villagers to step into the courtyard gate of the Su family one after another, and now they don't want to give any favors to the wedding banquet, most of them are with dishes, and the atmospheric ones are with some meat, which can be regarded as adding some dishes to the wedding banquet at noon, and there are also those with sugar, what do you have at home.

Everyone sat in the courtyard and chatted while eating melon seeds.

"This happy event of the Su family is really one after another."

"Who's to say it isn't? You see that the He family in Changxiu Village was still making trouble before, and it has only been a long time since people joined the army and directly found the girl in the city to get married, which is not many times better than that girl. ”

"Eh, I said you, what are you doing with that girl on people's big day? Doesn't that add to the blockage? ”

"Oh yes, yes, I shouldn't have said this, do you think it's the other girl's parents sitting there?"

"It seems that I heard that the bride's father is a master in the army and an old worker in the steel factory."

"Isn't that the person who joined the army also works in a steel mill? These Su families are just two of them working in the city, and they also have a family in the city, which is really a good fate. ”

"What's this, if you want me to say, the little girl of the Su family is capable, there are so many workers in the city, you see a few like Qingyun who can be praised by the whole province in the newspaper."

"That's it, I heard Wu Guixiang say a few days ago that Qingyun received a letter of praise from the province again, but I was angry."

"The Su family really hasn't had any bad goods, Wu Guixiang's three sons are also good players, and the blessings of this family are still to come."

"Okay, let's stop talking, it's time to start the banquet, and I don't know what the Su family's wedding banquet will look like?"

The villagers looked at the smoking steamers in the courtyard, and the air was filled with the fragrance of seduction, and everyone drooled greedily.
