Good farming at the foot of Changbai Mountain

Chapter 39
On the morning of the seventh day of the first lunar month, some people who got along well with the Xu family came to the Xu family to add makeup to Huixin.Some are a piece of ruler, some are a pair of pillows, and some are a few purses, which are not bad for farmers.Of course, if it is the relatives and elders of the bride, the gift will be more expensive. For example, Mr. Xu's cousin, who is Huixin's aunt Liu, just gave a silver hairpin. Although it is quite thin, it is worth it after all. some money.

Huixin was wearing a red dress, sitting on the kang in the east room, smiling and nodding to the visitors.

"To tell you the truth, our Huixin is really handsome. Since last year, his body has also improved. Look at his complexion, which is rosy and rosy. It's really lovely. The boy of the Tao family is also counted as him. You have good vision, and you fell in love with our Huixin." Mrs. Liu held Huixin's hand and kept admiring.

Mrs. Chen is naturally sitting in the east room today, talking with the people who came.Usually the people who come to add makeup are women, so the old man took his sons to stay in the East Wing.Hearing my sister-in-law praise her daughter so much, I was also happy. "Sister-in-law, don't say that, the Tao family is living a good life. Besides, this year, they have good medical skills. It is Huixin's blessing that they can look at our Huixin."

The people next to him were also discussing the marriage, when suddenly a voice came from outside the door. "Second aunt, my father and mother are here."

As soon as Mrs. Chen heard the voice, she hurriedly got off the ground and walked outside.When I went out, I saw a few people standing in the yard.A man and a woman in the middle seem to be quite old, the man is five or six years older than the Chen family, and the woman is also older than the Chen family.On both sides are two men, who are 34 and five years old. They look very similar, and they are two brothers at first glance.Followed by two women, and three children. "Second brother, second sister-in-law, Xiao Shun, Xiao Fu, why are you here?" Mrs. Chen was a little surprised. Her elder brother hadn't seen each other for many years. How could he come at this time?But no matter how surprised you are, you have to let people in, right? "Quick, get in the house quickly." As he said, he stepped forward to support his elder brother.

That old man was Chen Shi's second elder brother. He looked at Chen Shi and was a little excited. "Second sister, we heard people say that Huixin of your family is getting married. Huixin is the youngest, so I have to come and see her anyway." The old man said as he walked. "I'm an uncle, and my niece is getting married, why should I be there?"

"Second brother, you are not young at this age, why bother to come here? Just let Xiaoshun and the others come." Chen supported her brother and walked into the house.After entering the house, he hurriedly let his brother and sister-in-law onto the kang, and then introduced them to everyone. "This is my elder brother and sister-in-law from my natal family." Only then did everyone suddenly understand.

Chen Tianshun and Chen Tianfu, who were next to them, led their wives and children, and they also found a place to sit down and talk together.Jinghan and the others were originally helping in the kitchen, but when they heard voices outside, they went out to have a look.Now that he knew it was his uncle who was here, he hurried to the East Wing to tell Mr. Xu.When Mr. Xu heard that his uncle had come, he quickly brought his sons to the upper house's east room.

In the east room, Mrs. Chen looked at the three children brought by her sister-in-law, two girls and one boy. The girls were about the same age as Jinghan and Jingwan. "Second brother, which of these children belongs to Xiaoshun?"

Chen Tianshun who was next to him quickly said, "Second aunt, this big girl and that boy belong to me, and the other girl belongs to Xiaofu." Then he said to the children, "Hurry up, this is your aunt. Why don't you hurry up and kowtow to your aunt?"

At this time, Mr. Xu also came in, and Chen Tianshun said, "And your uncle, let's kowtow together."

The three children came to the front, knelt down to Mr. Xu and Mrs. Chen, and kowtowed three times. "Grandpa, aunt, hello."

"Okay, okay, get up, good boy." Mrs. Chen hurriedly got them up, then took out a few red envelopes from her pocket, and distributed them to the three children.This red envelope was originally prepared to give to those drummers when people come to pick up the bride.Thanks to wrapping up the red envelope yesterday, I didn't expect to use it today.It's the first time for these children of the junior generation to meet, so why don't they give me something?
The three children were very happy with the red envelopes, so they quickly put them away.Mrs. Chen hurriedly called Jinghan and the others to come in, and led the three children out to play. "Jinghan, take good care of your younger brothers and sisters, and take them to eat something delicious."

Jing Han agreed, and took the three children out.While walking, I was still a little muttering in my heart. I hadn't heard of anyone else from grandma's natal family before. What happened this time? They came here?In fact, it's quite strange, not only is grandma's natal family not in touch, even mother Xue never mentions her natal family.If it was someone else's house, during the Chinese New Year, they would have to go back to her mother's house for two days, but Jinghan just didn't hear what her mother said about going back to her mother's house, and she didn't know what was going on.This time I really have to ask my elder brother to see if he knows.

Jinghan looked at the three children in front of her, the older girl was about the same age as herself.She looks okay, even if she is a little dark, her big eyes are quite lively. "I don't know if I should call you elder sister or younger sister. I'm nine years old this year, how about you?" Jing Han asked her age first.Today Jingya was helping in the kitchen, Xue said that Jingya was eleventh this year, and it was time to learn the kitchen work, so she was asked to help there, while Jinghan brought Jingwan and Jingxian to do odd jobs, Help with a run or something.

"Sister, my name is Lihua, and I am eight years old this year. This is my younger brother, named Tianbao, who is six years old this year. That is the younger brother and sister of my second uncle's family, named Lizhu, who is seven years old this year." Clever, quickly said the names and ages of the three people.

Jinghan nodded, "My name is Jinghan, this is Jingwan from my third uncle's family, who is also nine years old this year, and that one is Jingxian, who is six years old this year, and you don't have to be called sister or sister, it's better to just call her by name. "Although I don't know why the nanny has less contact with the Chen family, but since he is here, he has to entertain him well.Jinghan led a few people back to her house, and then found the melon seeds and candies that she bought during the Chinese New Year, "Come on, let's not do anything today, just eat here. Lihua, Lizhu, you all come to the kang, this time Kang is hot."

Today, Wen Han led his younger brothers to borrow tables, chairs, plates and bowls. For weddings in the crop yard, they usually go out to borrow things. Otherwise, who has so many household items?The Xu family is quite popular in the village, and it is estimated that many people will come to drink the wedding today, so prepare a few more tables.

At the beginning of Shen Shi, there was a sound of blowing, blowing, and blowing outside. It was the arrival of the Tao family.Zhixin and Zhiming brothers rushed out to greet them. These children and helpers, as well as people from the village, all came to watch.

At the gate of Xu's house, Tao Qingnian was wearing new clothes with a big red flower tied on his chest, and he was riding a bay red horse with a red flower tied on the horse's head.This Tao Qingnian was already good looking, but with such a dress, he looked even more gentle, refined, clear and handsome.

Now that the greeters have arrived, all the Xu family will come out.Zhixin stepped forward to hold the horse's reins, and the old man stuffed a red envelope into Tao Qingnian's waist. At this moment, Tao Qingnian got off the horse.The bridegroom dismounted, and the banquet of the Xu family was about to officially begin.The Zhixin brothers hurriedly led Tao Qingnian to the East Wing. They had already prepared a banquet for the bridegroom. They also found a few eloquent people from the village to accompany the guests. Everyone sat down and had a drink.

On the Tao family's side, there was a matchmaker, two bridesmaids, and two of Tao Qingnian's contemporaries. Of course, two children, a boy and a girl, would be the golden boys and girls who pressed the sedan chair.In addition to these few people, there were also drummers outside, so the Xu family prepared three tables of banquets to entertain those who welcomed their relatives.Everyone sat at the table, and the helping daughters-in-law brought out the dishes. Zhixin raised his glass and respected the Tao family's welcoming people, "Come on, everyone has worked hard, and the Xu family has nothing to entertain. Prepare thin wine, please don't feel shabby." At this time, as the elder brother, he had to speak first.

Those members of the Tao family also raised their wine glasses, and everyone had a drink together.Zhixiang was also in the house with the Tao family, while Zhiming and Zhide were outside with the guests in the village.After the banquet opened, people from the village who came to drink the wedding wine came one after another.Generally, it is not that all the people have come to open the table, but that almost one table can be opened, so that people can sit down and have a drink, otherwise there is not so much space in the house.

This banquet started at the beginning of Shen Shi and lasted until the end of You Shi. The guests in the village, one wave left, and the next wave came.The wives who cook and help in the kitchen are the last to eat.When the people in the village were almost gone, Mrs. Xue led all the helpers to have dinner together.Mrs. Han and Zhide came back in the morning. Today, Mrs. Han is doing well, helping out in the kitchen all the time, doing this and that, without feeling tired.At this moment, everyone sat down, and Mrs. Xue hurriedly thanked the daughters-in-law who came to help, "Thank you sisters, if anyone has something to do in the future, feel free to speak up."

Zixuan's mother smiled from the side, "Sister-in-law, you are offended by what you said. In our village, who has something to do and you don't go? It's rare for your family to have a happy event. Why don't we come? Sister-in-law, don't say any more." That's all, we live in the same village, so how can we use such heretics?" The daughters-in-law next to me also said yes, and everyone talked and laughed together and ate.

After the banquet, the helping daughters-in-law helped to clean up all the dishes, and then went home.Naturally, Xue's sisters-in-law can't rest, and they have to prepare for the next morning to send their relatives to eat.
