Good farming at the foot of Changbai Mountain

Chapter 40 Getting Married
It was destined to be a sleepless night for the Xu family. After packing up their things, Mrs. Xue led his brother and daughter-in-law to make dumplings again.Fortunately, the minced meat had already been chopped, so you only need to chop some vegetables, and the two daughters-in-law of the Chen family naturally felt embarrassed to sit there, so they all came over to help.

Huixin can't do anything tonight, she just needs to recharge her energy, so she was sent back to Westinghouse early to sleep.The people from Tao's house who were welcoming relatives were going to live in Tao's house tonight, so they were naturally arranged to go to the East Wing where Zhixin and the others lived.The rest of my own family just huddled together in the rest of the house for a whole night.

In the landlord's room, the lights were bright, and all the women were making dumplings and chatting with each other while laughing.Both Chen and her second sister-in-law were not idle, chatting while making dumplings. "Second sister-in-law, do they have any letter with elder brother?"

"No, I don't know where it went. Alas, as soon as my mother left, my eldest brother sold the family's land, and then took their share and left." Chen's second sister-in-law shook her head and said. "Second sister, it was your second brother who was sorry for you back then, but now he has figured it out, so don't blame him."

Mrs. Chen smiled, "Second sister-in-law, how many years have passed, why do you still think about it? Now that I am doing well, I don't want to. We are all so old, and the bumps and bumps in the past , just forget all about it.” Chen glanced at the two nieces and daughters-in-law, “Second sister-in-law, the two daughters-in-laws of your family are pretty good, and they seem to be capable. Get along well with the daughter-in-laws, don’t be like our mother It's like, it's hard for others all day long."

Chen's second sister-in-law nodded, "Yes, I treat them well, but it's not like our mother used to beat or scold us all day long. Well, let's not talk about that, today is Huixin's happy day, Don't say these disappointing things. Hurry up and make the dumplings, and we all have a rest, and we have to get up early tomorrow to send the wedding."

Everyone was so busy that they finished making dumplings.The entire Bagailian dumplings were taken outside to freeze, and they can be cooked directly in the pot tomorrow morning.After finishing the work, everyone went to rest separately, and they still have to be busy tomorrow morning.

On the morning of the eighth day of the eighth day, Jinghan woke up early.I'm busy at home today, I'm afraid I don't have time to take care of them, so after Jinghan got up, he went out to fetch a basin of water and came back.Then, Jingya and Jingya helped Jingwan, Jingxian, Lihua, and Lizhu to wash and wash together. Fortunately, Jinghe was with Han Shi, so Jinghan didn't have to worry about it.Finally, all the little girls are dressed up, and all of them are juicy, looking at them makes people feel good. "Okay, let's go to my little aunt's room and have a look. I guess my little aunt has finished her makeup."

A few little girls ran to Huixin's room, and sure enough, Huixin had finished dressing.Wearing a bright red wedding gown, it complements her intelligent, snow-skinned and jade-like appearance, making her extremely charming.Jing Han secretly sighed in her heart, the little aunt is really beautiful enough, no wonder Doctor Tao wants to marry the little aunt no matter what.

At this time, the dumplings had already been cooked in the kitchen, and everyone went to eat the dumplings.The people from the Tao family who were welcoming relatives still arranged to eat in the East Wing.Mrs. Xue greeted everyone to eat hard, and this wedding can't be done on an empty stomach.

In the middle of the day, the drummers outside began to blow and beat.Tao Qingnian came to the East Room, where Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Zhu helped Huixin to the East Room, and then they kowtowed to Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu, saying goodbye to their parents.Afterwards, Zhixin carried Huixin on his back and sent it to the wedding sedan chair.Tao Qingnian also came out of the house, got on the horse, rode the horse around the yard, and then got off the horse again to bid farewell to the old couple of the Xu family, and then went out.

The people who carried the dowry were all young men from the village hired by the Xu family, and they didn't carry it all the way to the Tao's house, they just carried it to the car.The dowry cart is in the front, the trumpeter is in the middle, and then the groom's car and the bride's sedan chair.In the end, it is the person who is sent off by her natal family.

Today, the three Zhixin brothers and their wives were going to send off their wedding ceremony, as well as Chen Tianshun and Chen Tianfu. They sat in a carriage and followed behind.

Seeing the procession of seeing off the bride started to leave, Mrs. Chen quickly asked the old man to pick up the washbasin Huixin was dressing for, and pour the water in it onto the place where the car and sedan were parked just now. This is the water thrown out by the married girl.Seeing the procession going away, Chen's heart felt empty.

The relatives were all gone, and the family started to pack up their things. They wanted to pack up all the tables, chairs, dishes and dishes borrowed yesterday and send them back.There are still rules, that is, you can't send back empty bowls and plates, and you have to put some melon seeds, candies, or some good leftovers in it.Mrs. Chen quickly divided up the things that should be given to others, and then Wen Han and the others began to send things back from house to house.

Everyone was busy all afternoon before sending all these back.At the end of noon, when the people who saw off the relatives had returned, Mrs. Chen couldn't help but ask what it was like over there.

"Mother, their Tao family is really good. The dishes are not as good as ours. The quantity is also small, and each plate is a little shallow. In the end, the plates are all empty. Huixin and their new house, there is not much in it. For the furniture and bedding, only two bedding and two bedding were made." As soon as Mrs. Zhu came back, she couldn't help talking.The Han family and Zhide's family didn't come back at all, they went home directly.

When Mrs. Chen heard this, she was a little worried, "Oh, that's what I was worried about. But Huixin is optimistic about it, so we don't want to force it." The daughter's marriage has always been what Mrs. Chen is most concerned about.

Seeing her mother-in-law like this, Mrs. Xue couldn't help persuading her, "Mother, don't worry, the dowry we gave, let alone in the village, can be counted even in the town. Those who went to congratulate today, all of them Looking at our Huixin's dowry, everyone is full of praise, everyone says that our family is willing to spend money, and the bride has face." Mrs. Xue is the heart of Grandma Kuan.But it is also true that Huixin's dowry, not to mention anything else, just the things that Zhixiang brought back, and the furs that Zhixin specially added, are worth a lot of money. Ordinary people simply can't afford it. . "Mother, don't worry, with the support of these dowries, Liang and the others dare not underestimate Huixin. What's more, we also gave Huixin a lot of money to put at the bottom of the box."

Huixin got married, and the 30 taels that Tao Qingnian sent were left with ten taels, and the Chen family was taken away by Huixin.In addition, Mrs. Chen brought another ten taels, and Mrs. Xue and her three sisters-in-law also put together ten taels. In this way, the silver at the bottom of the box alone was 30 taels. This is not a small amount. Huixin will not be sad in the future of.

"Oh, this Huixin's temperament is soft, I don't know if I can hold it in." Chen shook her head and sighed. "Okay, let's not talk about this, we have been tired for several days, it's time to rest. Meilin, you and Yingzi should go and rest, there is nothing to do at home. There are still a lot of leftovers and dumplings , I’ll heat up the meal in a while.”

Xue Shi and Zhu Shi were really a little tired, so they went back to their rooms to rest without saying anything.Mrs. Chen chatted there with her natal brother-in-law, nephew, and nephew-in-law.

Chen's second elder brother said, "Second sister, this Huixin is also married, we will go back tomorrow, and we won't stay here any longer. We will see each other more in the future, those things back then were because of my brother's fault, so don't blame him. "

Mrs. Chen smiled, "Second brother, we are brothers and sisters, what are you talking about? You are so old, why do you want to do that? Live a good life and enjoy more blessings. Second brother, when you go back, be good The second sister-in-law is a good person when dealing with her sister-in-law. Back then you had to listen to my mother and bullied the second sister-in-law all day long. How about now, the only one who can accompany you is your own wife." Chen Shiyu persuaded earnestly.

"Hey, I see. My temper has changed a lot these years. If you don't believe me, ask your second sister-in-law. We haven't quarreled for many years." Chen's second brother smiled a little embarrassedly.

The next day, Chen's elder brother and sister-in-law took the children away, and Chen brought them a lot of things.Although the Xu family's life is not too rich now, it seems to be better than the Chen family.Besides, this is also a real relative, how can I let them go back empty-handed?Regarding these, the old man didn't say anything. He listened to Mrs. Chen for all family matters.

After seeing off her uncle and grandpa, Jinghan couldn't help her curiosity, and ran to grandma, "Grandma, why don't uncle and grandpa come here often?"

Chen looked at the children in front of her and smiled. "It's okay. My father passed away early, leaving behind my mother and four of our brothers and sisters, and I was the youngest. At that time, the family was struggling, and I relied on my two older brothers to work to earn money. Then they said that I My eldest sister and I were full of food, white-eyed wolf, loser, and often beat us. At that time, my mother was also worrying about life every day, so she didn’t care about the two elder brothers, and sometimes helped them. Later, for Tell the two elder brothers to marry, so I sold my eldest sister to someone else to be a concubine, and I was married to your grandfather." Chen never talked about the past, and once he said it, even Zhixin and the others were all amazed.

"Mom, why haven't you ever said that?" Zhixin and his two younger brothers looked at their mother.

"What's there to say? At that time, your father married a daughter-in-law, but she was ill and died. My mother gave a lot of betrothal gifts for the Xu family. The betrothal gifts for filling in the house were two times more than those for normal wives. Well, you just married me into Xu's family. Fortunately, your father is quite good, and I haven't suffered much in these years." The old lady talked about what happened back then. "Why don't people say, this woman, enjoying happiness when she is a girl is not considered to be enjoying happiness, but enjoying happiness when she is married is really enjoying happiness. Although our family's life has been poor these years, but your father treats me, That's what you say, mother will be content in this life." The old lady looked at Mr. Xu with a smile.
