The growth of the eldest daughter-in-law of the farm gate

Chapter 99
After Li Mingren's mansion examination came to an end, the Wang family began to make arrangements for Li Mingyi's marriage.The marriage process from years ago has not yet been completed, and Wang and Zhao Yunlan are discussing how to arrange the bride price for Miss Wu Yi.

There are two worries in Wang's heart. One is that when Zhao Yunlan, the eldest daughter-in-law, married, the family was not considered wealthy, and the dowry was only that of an ordinary farmer's family.The second one is that the Wu family is wealthy after all, if the dowry is too poor, I worry that the shopkeeper Wu will think that Wu Yi is not important to Wu Yi.

In fact, Zhao Yunlan didn't care much about her dowry, after all, she didn't marry herself back then, and in the situation of the Li family back then, the dowry she got was already very good for the Zhao family.Seeing that Zhao Yunlan didn't have much emotion, Mrs. Wang helped to carefully select these dowry gifts, so she let go of her worries.

Zhao Yunlan's dowry list included 200 taels of silver, a set of silver noodles, a set of gold bracelets, a piece of jade ruyi, wine, cloth, two loads of meat, two chickens, two loads of wedding cakes, and two boxes of high-quality tea. .

Watching Zhao Yunlan handle all these things, Mrs. Wang made a faint decision in her heart, took old man Li to the county seat, bought a pair of gold bracelets and a set of silver noodles and gave them to Zhao Yunlan as a dowry gift .

Zhao Yunlan herself didn't care about these things, she didn't expect Wang Shi to be considerate, and she didn't accept those jewelry politely and happily with Wang Shi, she was a little moved in her heart.

Li Mingyi also used the money he had saved to buy a pair of earrings and a gold hairpin, which were added to the betrothal gift list.Li Mingren looked at the second child, thought of himself again, counted the pocket money he had left, and could only give up for now, thinking that he must pass this year's college examination, and then he would be able to buy some good jewelry for his wife.

Although these betrothal gifts are not much to the Wu family, they are already the best specification that the Li family can offer now.Zhao Yunlan also discussed with Mrs. Wang to buy a small courtyard in the town. Li Mingyi would keep the hot and sour noodle shop in the town. It would be more convenient to have a place to live after getting married. Besides, Wu Yi had never lived in this country , somewhat unaccustomed to the life in this village, it is convenient for the young couple to live in the town.And there is a small courtyard in my town, and I can have a place to stay in the town when I go to the county to do errands on weekdays.

Shopkeeper Wu didn't care too much about the betrothal gift given by the Li family, but seeing that the Li family bought a small courtyard in the town, he was so considerate and considerate of his daughter's feelings, and he felt relieved that he found a good one for his daughter. people.Mrs. Li and Mrs. Wang took the Li family brothers to the Wu family to make an appointment, and then they decided on a date to get married.

Mrs. Wang counted three days, the first day is after the Dragon Boat Festival, the second day is after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the third day is the twelfth lunar month.

Shopkeeper Wu felt that the Dragon Boat Festival was too close, and wanted to keep his daughter for a while longer, but considering that Li Mingren was going to take the hospital examination in August, the two parties finally settled on the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

After the date was set, Li Mingyi was able to meet Wu Yi in a fair manner, and the relationship between the two young people was getting better and better.Li Mingyi also often went to visit shopkeeper Wu, and whenever there were business problems, shopkeeper Wu would give advice to Li Mingyi one by one.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and it is the busy season of farming in May.Everyone in Lijia Village is smiling, and the weather has been very good since the beginning of spring this year.The wheat grains in the field are full this year, but old man Li has been ready to harvest long ago. Old man Li's darling calf is growing stronger now. After a winter's recuperation, it's time to move his muscles and bones.

With the help of the cattle, the Li family had a lot easier to harvest the wheat. Li Zhizhi came back from the busy farming leave to help harvest the wheat together. Li Mingren went to work in the fields this year, and he was no longer disgusted by the old man Li.Li Mingyi also came back, but when he came back, he was followed by a carriage.Wu Yi knew that Li's family would be harvesting wheat in the next few days, so she planned to come to Li's Village to help out a long time ago, so shopkeeper Wu arranged for a woman to come to Li's house with Wu Yi.

Seeing Wu Yi coming to the house, Mrs. Wang was surprised at first. Seeing Wu Yi dressed in simple and neat clothes, she gave a blessing when she came up, and asked, "Auntie, if you need help at home, please tell me."

Feeling relieved, Wang said with a smile: "There is not so much work at home, I am very happy when you come, just sit and play!"

Zhao Yunlan also said: "Yes, Xiaoyi, sit down and have a rest, and chat with my little sister."

Wu Yi: "Sister-in-law, it's okay, just tell me if there is anything I can help with!"

Li Mingmei: "Sister Wu Yi, just rest for a while, we will go to the field to deliver food to Dad and the others later!"

Wu Yi nodded: "Okay!"

Zhao Yunlan went to work in the kitchen, and Wu Yi hurriedly followed. Seeing that Zhao Yunlan didn't arrange for her to help, she rolled up her sleeves to help Zhao Yunlan wash and chop vegetables.Seeing Dao, Zhao Yunlan smiled helplessly, and let Wu Yi do the work.

Zhao Yunlan went out to get something and came in and saw Wu Yi cooking. Surprised that Wu Yi could cook, Wu Yi raised her head and looked at Zhao Yunlan: "Sister-in-law, I know how to cook this dish. I heard Mingyi said that sister-in-law cooks The dishes here are delicious, and I'm playing tricks in front of my sister-in-law."

Zhao Yunlan smiled, without being modest, she just said, "I'll make some good dishes later, you can eat more!"

After Wu Yi finished cooking, she turned around and cooked another soup. Zhao Yunlan smiled and said, "You also said you only know this dish. It seems that you have a lot of cooking at home!"

Wu Yidao: "Well, I often cook for my father at home, and the cooking was not delicious at first. Thanks to my father who didn't dislike it, I learned this skill!"

After Wu Yi made the soup, she gave the kitchen to Zhao Yunlan. Zhao Yunlan continued to cook a few dishes, and then packed the food that was brought to the field.

Li Mingmei took Wu Yi to deliver the meal together, and Wu Yi was overjoyed to see Li Mingyi waving to her.Going forward to give old man Li a few greetings, he followed Zhao Yunlan back.

Zhao Yunlan and Wang Shi waited for the two to come back to have dinner together. Seeing that Li Mingmei and Li Mingmei had returned, Xiaobao said, "Mother, let's have dinner!"

Zhao Yunlan hugged Xiaobao: "Well, let's go and sit down!"

Wu Yi ate Zhao Yunlan's dishes: "Sister-in-law's dishes are really delicious!"

Li Mingmei: "Sister Wu Yi, the food you cook is also delicious!"

The four women and Xiao Bao enjoyed a meal together.

In the evening, Wu Yi was going back to town. After all, she was not married yet, so it was somewhat inconvenient. Wu Yi said she would come back tomorrow.

Li Mingyi was happy but still said: "You can rest at home tomorrow! There is not much work!"

Zhao Yunlan joked: "Second brother is feeling sorry for Xiaoyi!"

Wu Yi was shy, and Wang Shi also said: "Girl Yi, you don't need to help out tomorrow, but you are welcome to come and play anytime you want!"

Wu Yi nodded and got into the carriage: "Auntie, sister-in-law, little sister, I'll go back first!"

Everyone sent Wu Yi away and went back to their houses.Li Mingren was tired all day, so he lay down after washing early.
