Chapter 260 Marriage 1
As soon as Tong Yao returned to the house, Si Xiaohui ran in, pouted and said coquettishly, "Sister-in-law, you bought pants for your second brother, why didn't you buy me a pair! I don't even know what pants to wear with this jacket."

In fact, Si Xiaohui took a fancy to the trousers Tong Yao was wearing. The little black corduroy trousers on Tong Yao looked very beautiful and warm. It would be great if she had a pair of them too.

Tong Yao didn't think about it, and replied absent-mindedly: "I don't know what size you wear, so you didn't buy it."

Si Xiaohui hurriedly said: "I wear a waist of two feet eight, sister-in-law, you can buy me pants according to this waist in the future."

Tong Yao nodded perfunctorily and said 'Yes'. Si Xiaohui didn't rush out after talking about the clothes. She sat down on the bedside and said regretfully, "It would be great if my uncle was at home, our house will be more lively."

Uncle?

Si Xiaohui's words caught Tong Yao's attention, "Which uncle, why haven't I heard you mention it?"

"Of course my uncle is my father's younger brother, our uncle!" Speaking of this, Si Xiaohui said with a little emotion in his tone, "After my father died, my uncle followed the circus troupe that came here to perform. It's been many years, and I haven't been back until now, and I don't know where he is now, and how he is doing, my uncle loved me a lot before."

If the uncle was still there, their previous life would not have been so hard.

It's a pity that my uncle never came back after going out, and I don't know if he is still alive or not, as long as he thinks that his uncle might die in another country, Si Xiaohui feels sad.

When her father was alive, she was away all year round, but her uncle was at home every day, which left a deeper impression on her.

Curious, Tong Yao raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why did my uncle go with the circus back then?" She always felt that things were not that simple. Si Chen also had a brother-in-law, but no one was there for her. mentioned before.

Could it be that the father's death has something to do with my uncle?

Speaking of these things, Si Xiaohui remembered that all these things were caused by her father saving Tong Yaohui, her face became pale, and she said angrily: "The family is poor, and my uncle wants to go out to make money."

After finishing speaking, he walked out with a snort, his footsteps were so heavy that he wanted to step on a few holes in the ground to get out.

Tong Yao: ...

Both Si Chen and Wen Yun said that the Tong family did not owe the Si family anything, but Si Xiaohui always believed that the Si family's tragedies were all caused by the Tong family. Could there be some misunderstanding here?

Si Chen finished washing the last bowl, poured out the water, and walked out of the kitchen with an indifferent face. He didn't go back to the house, but walked to the door. It happened that Si Boyi came back after coaxing Zhang Lijuan. Chatted a few words at the door.

Seeing that Si Chen's expression was wrong, Si Boyi thought he was angry with Zhang Lijuan, and said dully: "Brother, I'm sorry, I just said something about Lijuan, and I explained the truth to her."

The sister-in-law is not obligated to buy clothes for Zhang Lijuan, besides, Zhang Lijuan has already bought the bridal red dress that she will wear when she gets married, and she has good clothes to wear.

One cannot be dissatisfied.

Si Chen nodded, "It's good that you can figure it out."

Si Boyi said: "Brother, don't worry, I'm not someone who doesn't understand the truth, I'll see what you and sister-in-law treat us, and keep it in my heart."

Si Chen gave a faint 'hmm', and then said nothing. He looked at the ice and snow on the road, not knowing what he was thinking.

Seeing that his complexion hadn't improved yet, Si Boyi couldn't figure out what he was thinking, and couldn't help asking: "Brother, why don't you seem to be in a good mood?"

"It's nothing." Si Chen collected his thoughts, turned around and walked into the yard, "Go inside! It's cold outside."

Si Boyi blankly followed him into the yard, and said from behind: "Brother, you go into the house and rest, I'll boil some water for you to wash."

When Si Boyi walked into the kitchen, he saw Lin Fengying standing there in a daze, his face pale, standing still as if possessed by an evil spirit, and he was startled, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Fengying regained her senses, pulled the corners of her mouth and put out a smile that was uglier than crying, "It's nothing, you want to boil water, right? There's no water in the house, so go get some water in the well."

Seeing that she was really fine, Si Boyi was relieved.

It was still snowing heavily outside, the ground was snow white, and the footprints just stepped on would be covered with snow in a short time. Si Boyi just went out for a while, a layer of snow fell on his body.

The night at minus ten degrees is very cold. It doesn’t take long for the water to fall on the ground, and it will form a layer of ice. The eaves are full of small icicles. It looks very beautiful, but no one in the present has the heart to appreciate it. scenery.

When food and clothing are problematic, people have no intention of admiring the wonders of nature.

Tong Yao was not used to putting the brazier inside the house, and always felt that her throat would be uncomfortable, so she slept under the covers after washing, and felt warm all over, while Lin Fengying and Si Xiaohui slept in the living room.

Tong Yao poked her head out from under the quilt, seeing Si Chen sitting by the bed washing his feet, she wanted to whisper a few words to him, but she didn't say anything because the door was not soundproof.

There was a lot of wind and snow outside, and it snowed heavily all night. In the morning, the snow outside was half deep. It was a sunny day, but it was still very cold, and the water in the bucket was frozen into big ice cubes.

Chef Xu came over early in the morning to prepare the ingredients for the banquet. Men, women and children in the village also came to help. The children ran behind the adults to help move the tables, chairs and benches. Yes, there are candies to eat.

Tong Yao couldn't get her hands in, so she didn't help much. The weather was too cold, and Si Xiaohui hated the cold hands, and was afraid of getting her new clothes dirty, so she didn't want to work. The two of them gnawed a lot of pig bones in the yard , These days, pork bones are as delicious as if they were dipped in spices, and they are not greasy.

After eating one piece, I want to eat a second piece.

Lin Fengying was as busy as a spinning top, worrying about one thing and another, but the smile on her mouth never stopped.

A busy day passed quickly, and everyone got up early the next day. The bride's house was next door, and the two families in the village ran back and forth to see the groom for a while, and the bride for a while, with smiles on their faces.

Especially Si Boyi, who has never stopped smiling since he woke up in the morning, wearing the clothes Tong Yao bought, he looks quite energetic.

According to the wedding custom, the bride should arrive at the groom's house before twelve o'clock at noon. The distance between the two families is very close. Chen Jinlan felt that it would not be ceremonial to bring the daughter directly to the Si family. After discussing, let the sedan chair go around the village before going back to Si's house.

In this day and age, there are no cars to get married in the countryside. Better families ride in bridal sedan chairs, while poorer families can only ride in bicycles and cars. Passers-by also rely on the kind of car the bride is riding in to judge whether the bride is married or not. , Does the groom's family have any money?
