Chapter 22: Before Marriage
The father and daughter, including the Li family who was present on the side, tacitly agreed not to mention the paper money to be burned on Tuesday. It's like a succession, and the next step is to repair the grave.
Similar to white things, it should always be done after the happy event. I chatted again, I would pick a good day to ask someone to sew a quilt, and I hurriedly asked Zhou Banxia to go back to the room early to rest.
This time, even the Li family agreed. If you don't look at it, it's just two or three days of hard work, and she has worked hard for her three girls, stewing meat and chicken every day, and her chin is still sharp.
Considering that there will be more people coming and going at home in the next few days, Zhou Banxia did not refuse, and happily ended the activity of going out late at night to step on the turf.
Is it just skinny?
Looking at the cloakroom mirror, Zhou Banxia found that he was not thin at all. A sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl is not developing a little better than the same period in her previous life.
At that time, I was in high school, and I had to squeeze in time to work and set up a stall to make money, and I lacked nutrition for a long time, so that the whole person was thin and thin, dry and shriveled.
Unlike today, Gaofu has good food, not only is he tall, but he is half a head taller than the girls of the same age in the village, and his curves are also out.
Thinking that he always felt weird when he wore a belly pocket in the past two days, Zhou Banxia found a muslin cloth and planned to make a change of underwear and underwear to practice his hands.
Here she entered a state of waiting to be married, and Gu Wenxuan also began to renovate the new house, striving to make her small family more comfortable to live in with the existing conditions.
Originally, there was a utility room in the room, which was extremely cramped, and there was a faint musty smell, and the low stools in the floor cabinet were also some years old.
This time, even the loess mixed with wheat straw rammed fire kang to be dismantled together, waiting for the plate to be finished, even the earthen stove is also on the plate, although it is small, it occupies a small area.
When Gu Erlang's room was also put on an earthen stove, not only did he not quarrel, but even the other three rooms were all interested in not supporting the objections of the second elder in the family.
One by one, they rushed to the house in the past few days. If there is not enough mud at home, you have to borrow mud from the village first.
The same excuse to the outside world, there are many people in the family, and it is not enough to drink hot water in cold weather. So it is very interesting, except for the two old rooms, the whole dish is on the earthen stove.
Xu is general trend has gone, and Gu Wenxuan found that the second elder didn't care how he and Shiro tossed. As long as you don't ask them for money, you basically turn a blind eye.
It's a rare opportunity.
He hurriedly "borrowed" the mud and wood, and the cement worker and carpenter worked together, and personally separated a clean room against the inner wall and built a washstand.
Seeing that the second elder still didn't respond, he rushed to the town and asked the paster to bring all the necessary materials and paste all the roofs and walls of the east wing.
Otherwise, if the roof of the mat is not covered, I am really worried that if I sleep well one night, I will be frightened if some bugs and mice suddenly fall.
Unfortunately, for various reasons, the roofs of all three rooms were pasted, but the walls were pasted with only his room, and his grandmother asked him where he got the money.
The old man gave it.
There was nothing to say.
Looking for an old man to testify?
He and Banxia had already discussed.
He couldn't explain everything clearly, and the money that he couldn't tell the source was pushed to the old man. Banxia will privately tell his father-in-law that he has not yet broken up, and he can't admit it.
Contrarily.
Banxia couldn't explain clearly, and the money that couldn't tell the source was also pushed on him. He talked to his father and mother again, and his daughter-in-law was not good at publicizing that she actually had private money.
Perfect.
It took another day, and this time he did it himself. Finally, the door is proofread, so as not to be closed tightly, and then paint the doors, windows and cabinets.
The paint is dry, everything in the new house is cleaned, and it is the day before marriage.
Getting married is a big deal.
Early in the morning, the courtyard of the Gu family was cleaned and red silk began to be hung with lanterns, and a large and round red lantern was hung in front of the new house, and the big red character was pasted on the door.
Gu Shilang's matchmaker accompanied the woman's uncle and others to send the dowry, and the Zhou family was then accompanied by the matchmaker Zhou Banxiatang's uncle and uncle to deliver the dowry in the auspicious time.
Whoever is early and who is late, no one wants to suppress the limelight, it is just that the young and the young are orderly. Even if the Zhou family came forward by the uncle and uncle, it was the other uncles and uncles who clashed with the newcomers.
And whether the opposition between the genus and the newcomer is indeed no longer concerned, and when they go to the next room, they will become bystanders, but the dowry of the two women has caused a lot of sensation in Qinghe Village.
According to the customary rites, the woman's dowry is sent to be placed in the courtyard for a while, commonly known as the dowry.
Thursday Shun is rare to be generous, and Gu Shilang's Yue's family does not pick the door. The open space in the front yard of the Gu family was filled with two dowries, of which furniture accounted for most of the open space.
At this time, there is no way to know the truth of the money in addition to the pressure box, and it is extremely rare for a girl from a wealthy family in the countryside to have such a dowry.
Especially the Zhou family.
The front one was lifted, and the six open adobe pieces wrapped in red cloth represented that there were six acres of dowry fields, and everyone basically heard about it.
On the contrary, there is no public announcement of the second lift, there are two pairs of silver jewelry on the red cloth, and there are no less than ten pairs of silver, jade, and pearl earrings.
Then there are four seasons clothes, shoes and socks stuffed with a pair of cages, and several cages are also stuffed with fabrics, leather goods and curtains, and they are only afraid that they will not be stuffed back into the boxes.
Hiss!
I add furniture and enjoy a quilt.
Here are a few of them.
Zhou Laosi married his first daughter.
There are many people who think about it, but none of them say it. There are those who haven't come back to their senses yet, and it's more that the big day will not block the Gu family.
It's okay for Gu Liulang to get married, it's impossible to exaggerate, but Gu Shilang's Yue's family also prepares a lot of dowry. Look at it, it's not good to give a faceless to the guests who come with a dowry.
Although the surnames of Zhou Gu and Zhou Gu are occasionally dirty, they are still very united in a village, even a small number of people with other surnames, and they are still very united and resolutely do not touch the village dark.
Seeing that there were more and more people rushing to see the excitement, there were already many people on the courtyard wall, and the dowry had been placed for a while, and the two matchmakers tacitly instructed people to move back to the new house.
Looking at the excitement here, it has not ended yet, and the Gu family is preparing to entertain the female guests and matchmakers who came with the dowry today.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors, and the guests were sent away, Gu Wenxuan was about to go back to the room, but he was stopped by a cousin as soon as he turned around at the gate.
This cousin is his grandmother's nephew or Gu Shilang's uncle, but looking back at his memory, what he did really can't afford to be his elder Gu Wenxuan.
There are relatives and aliens.
Understand.
But deliberately stepping on his parents at every turn, it is disgusting to use it to elevate his brother-in-law and sister. Especially in front of his grandmother, he often played right and wrong, so that his mother was wronged.
In my memory, the other party said in front of his grandmother that his mother, the cousin and daughter-in-law, still wanted to eat, and she didn't understand the rules, and was beaten down by his father on the spot.
"I'm missing, I still have something to do."
"Gotcha! It's not bad, I can't look down on poor relatives anymore. ”
