Farmer's happy event

Chapter 81 Believe in You
"Okay, I've said everything I need to say," Shen said, looking at Chunzi again, "I still say the same thing, just rest assured, Mother will definitely not harm you, and I can't just sit and watch you suffer Okay, ignore it."

Chunzi sobbed, wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, and nodded.

Only then did Shen pick up the wine glass in front of her and said, "Come on, it's all done."

After finishing speaking, he raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.

Seeing this, other people raised their wine glasses one after another, drank the wine, and then began to eat the New Year's Eve dinner.

The food is very rich, all year round, but I am looking forward to this good meal.So after a while, I forget my troubles and eat happily.

After eating, after clearing away the leftovers on the table, Mrs. Shen went to scoop up the flour and prepared to make dumplings later.

Mrs. Li walked up to Chunzi, sat down next to her, stuffed a bright red quilt into her hand, and said, "Sister, my sister-in-law has no separation and nothing good, so I can only give you this, don't Just dislike it."

Chunzi held the quilt in his hand, and forced a smile at her: "Sister-in-law, we are all one family, so don't dislike it."

She didn't like Li Shi in the first place, and she also knew that she had a stubborn temperament, so she thought she wouldn't give anything.

Lianzi glanced at it, and saw that it was just a piece of muslin cloth, probably it was also received by Mrs. Li when she got married.It's just that she should have received a lot of sheets of fine cotton cloth like this when she got married, but she was very generous and gave back one.But this is also normal, if you give two yuan, Lianzi will look at her with admiration.

Mrs. Yang also went over, took out a small red cloth bag from her bosom, stuffed it into Chunzi's hand, and said with a smile: "Take it, the second sister-in-law will give you a dowry."

Chunzi took the little red cloth bag, opened it, and saw that it was a whole set of gold jewelry.

"My family doesn't have a lot of money, so I can't afford pure gold, just don't dislike it." Yang said with a smile.

In this rural area, when a girl from a slightly better family gets married, she will be accompanied by a whole set of haircuts, but generally it is only plain silver, and there are even slippery silver ones.It is very good to steal money like this, you can keep it at the bottom of the box, and give it to your daughter when you give birth to a daughter in the future and the daughter leaves the court.

Chunzi didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only say, "Thank you, second sister-in-law, thank you, second brother."

This set of face, to say the least, costs 40 taels of silver.If there is no other way to survive, the family of three can live frugally for a year or two.

Mrs. Yang bought two sets of these heads, and planned to give one set to Liu Jinglin's daughter-in-law after she passed the door.When I bought it, I was very distressed, but when I thought about Chunzi's life in the future and the help she had done to her family, I gritted my teeth, became ruthless, and bought it.Anyway, my family has a lot of money left now, and my daughters are still young, so I'm not in a hurry to get out of the cabinet.

The money that was stored in the bank at the beginning has been kept.Later, I went to save it a few times, and now I have 600 taels of silver, which can generate interest every month in the bank.

Mrs. Li stretched her neck to look, and her eyes lit up when she saw this golden head.She also wanted to buy a set for Maizi, but after thinking about it carefully, after Maizi entered the door of that house, would she want anything?Even if it is to get her a set of red gold, I am afraid it is not impossible.

Shen carried the washbasin into the main room, put the washbasin on the table, and called the two daughter-in-laws to come and make dumplings.

Chunzi gave Shen Shi the things she had just received and asked her to put them away temporarily.

It stands to reason that this dowry thing should be given to Shen Shi to be serious.But Mrs. Li was afraid that Mrs. Shen would say that the things she gave were too shabby, and it was this muslin quilt that she found after rummaging in the box for a long time.In fact, she still had a piece of satin material, which was given to her by a rich relative when she got married. She held it for a while, looked at it, touched it again, but was still reluctant, so she gave it to the muslin cloth.

Mrs. Yang was afraid that Mrs. Shen would confiscate things, so she gave the things to Chunzi first, and then Mrs. Shen, so that she would not be afraid that she would keep them.

After making the dumplings, they waited until almost midnight to cook them in the pot, so that they could eat the first dumplings of the New Year just in time for Zishi.

Lizi and Lianzi didn't go out to play this year, they stayed by Chunzi's side and talked to her.

After the year passed, Yang and Liu Jingren returned home with their four children.

On the first day of the new year, it was still the same as in previous years. I got up early, ate dumplings, and followed the adults to the elders of my family to pay New Year's greetings.I couldn't work that day, so Mrs. Yang still went to visit Mrs. Zhao, basking in the sun in her yard, and talked for a whole day.

Since the second day of the Lunar New Year, the family has been busy again.

In addition to the two marriages, the Lianzi family also has their own business to manage.Whether it is preserved fruit, snacks or sauces, these days are the peak season for sales, and some will be made in a few days.In order to cope with the hot sales, Lianzi's family bought another large tank, and made a lot of them at a time, so that they could rest for a few days in the middle.

The new house in my hometown has been completely refreshed.The kang was swept clean, brand new quilts and red sheets were spread, and red curtains were hung on it.

The preparations for this new house were nearly complete, and Shen's just started to buy Chunzi's dowry.

Shen Shi gave a lot of bride price there, so naturally there would not be too little.But Xing'er's family conditions are there, and there is no way to give more.The 20 taels of silver, but also to marry a daughter-in-law for the son, and to prepare a dowry for the daughter, is also not enough.Therefore, he could only put his son first, and gave eight taels of silver as the bride price to his daughter-in-law.As for the dowry left to Xing'er, it would be nice to have a couple of taels.

But what Shen meant was that it would be good to marry this daughter-in-law. The dowry should be as little as possible. If there are many gifts for Chunzi, it should be regarded as compensation for Chunzi.

Therefore, Chunzi's dowry was not ambiguous.Rural people seldom pay attention to how much they lift. If it is true, it is not bad to be able to fill a large box.

Although the time was short, Mrs. Shen still found someone to build a set of poplar furniture for Chunzi, a dining table, a kang table, a wardrobe, a cabinet, and two large boxes.

In addition to these large pieces of furniture, two cotton quilts were sewed, and all the daily necessities were also packed. There was no shortage of pots, pans, and the like.

After everything was packed, it was already the sixteenth day of the first lunar month.Even the Lantern Festival is in a hurry, and it's over if you deal with it.

In the past few days, Mrs. Yang was helping Mrs. Shen, so the family work naturally fell to Sister Lianzi.With Yang's true biography, the four sisters have already learned a lot about making chili sauce, and the things they make are not much worse than Yang's.But it’s okay to eat by yourself at home. If you want to send it to shopkeeper Dong with the original taste, you still have to do it yourself.

There are no big things these days, Lianzi is bored at home making preserved fruit with her sisters, so that when she gets busy, she can't take care of her here.

It was getting late, and Gu Zi had already prepared the meal, but Mrs. Yang hadn't come back yet.Liu Jingren asked the four children to eat first, and went to his hometown to call Yang back.

Lianzi tasted the preserved fruit while making it in the afternoon. She was not very hungry at this time, so she only ate a few mouthfuls of rice and stopped eating.She went to the stove to scoop the warm food in the cauldron into the bucket, and went to the cowshed to feed the two cows, the rabbits and the chickens.

Picked up the eggs just laid today, and was about to send them to the main room to put them away, when Lianzi suddenly saw a figure enter the gate of her house.

The sky was a little dark, and it was hard to see who it was, but looking at the figure, it looked like Su Keyan.

Today is sixteen, Su Keyan should still be at home, it will take three or two days before he can come back.

"Who is it?" Lianzi asked.

"Lianzi, it's me."

Lianzi blinked carefully, and then took a closer look. It turned out that it was really Su Keyan. Why did he come back early this time?Didn't you say come back when you are twenty?

"Why are you here?" Lianzi asked with a smile, walked out of the chicken coop, and let Su Keyan into the house.

Su Keyan followed Lianzi into the house, and said: "When I encountered some problems while studying at home, my father asked me to come back a few days earlier to ask my husband for advice."

Lianzi nodded, said "Oh", and put the eggs into the basket.Su Keyan was still the same, still eager to learn and think hard.

"By the way, you are going to take an exam this year, right? When is it?"

The new year is over, Lianzi is nine years old, Su Keyan is ten years old.I've been so busy these days that I forgot, Su Keyan said that he will take part in the children's test this year.

Su Keyan nodded and said, "Yes, I will take the exam in February."

The February exam is next month, so there is only one month at most.When Lianzi recalled her previous life, although she had always been a very conscientious and good student, every time before the exam, she had to sleep and forget food for a long time.This children's test, if you pass it, you can get the qualification to take the imperial examination, and the students must attach great importance to it.

"How are you preparing?" Lianzi asked.

Su Keyan smiled at her, showing a row of white teeth, and said, "No problem."

Lianzi also smiled. Judging by his confident appearance, he should be well prepared.

Lianzi had also heard about this ancient exam. It seemed that the first children's exam had to be taken three times, divided into county exams, government exams, and academicians. It was really difficult to take five consecutive county exams alone.

However, Lianzi has absolute confidence in Su Keyan, not to mention that he was an early enlightenment and a hard-working student, just judging by the amount of knowledge he has accumulated in his daily life, he will definitely be able to pass the three tests and become a scholar.

It's just that he is only ten years old, he is already a scholar, Lianzi couldn't help smiling.

"What's wrong?" Su Keyan asked when she saw her suddenly laugh.

Lianzi shook her head and said, "It's okay, I believe you."

There was a relaxed smile on Su Keyan's face, and his eyes were serious, from which Lianzi could see a sincere promise.

"Study is quite tight these days, so I can't come to accompany you often. If you don't understand something when you are studying, just write it down first, and I will come to you as soon as I finish the exam." Su Keyan looked at Lianzi He said that when he thought that he could not see lotus seeds often for several months, he felt a little anxious.

Lianzi smiled slightly and comforted him: "It's okay, I'll just remember it first, and it's the same when you ask when you come back. You can just prepare for the exam with peace of mind."

She thought for a while, and then said, "Why don't you come to my house for dinner every day, and I'll make love test meals for you."

Su Keyan looked at her in surprise, what is the love test meal?
Seeing his expression, Lianzi suddenly remembered that he must be very busy, and the school is far away from her home, so it would not be so easy to come here.

So he said: "Farewell, I made it at noon every day, and I will send it to you."

Su Keyan understood what she meant, and smiled happily: "Okay, then I won't let the servant deliver lunch tomorrow."

"Yeah," Lianzi nodded emphatically, "I will make you eat happily, study hard, and sleep comfortably."

　Ask for collection, ask for recommendation, tearful eyes..
