Lu family's daughter-in-law

Chapter 121 Marriage is imminent, Lu Yan's little awkwardness
For the Xu family, this year's first month is really a good start, with many happy events.

At the beginning of the month, Guan Ping gave birth to a happy pulse, and at the end of the month, the two sows in the pen gave birth to nineteen piglets one after another. Although one of them was too weak and died, there were still eighteen piglets. It can grow to sixty catties in a month, and now piglets cost 25 cents a catty, and they sell for one tael and five cents per pig...

After calculating the accounts, Mrs. Li happily seemed to be five or six years younger, and her steps were windy when she carried the slop bucket to feed the pigs.

Ning Xiang sat in the room, listening to the movement in the pigsty, feeling a lot of emotion.

In the past few years, the weather has been good, and the family has only started to have some extra money. She still remembers how her eldest aunt counted the money seriously at the beginning of last year, and then went to the town to buy piglets with the four taels of silver she had worked so hard to save.Piggy was carried home, and the eldest aunt looked at Piggy with closer eyes than the four siblings.

Fortunately, my family was lucky, the two pigs had a little trouble, and they grew up smoothly, otherwise I couldn't afford to waste it.

It's just that time seemed to speed up all of a sudden. Seeing that February was coming to an end day by day, Ning Xiang was extremely nervous.

The wedding date between her and Lu Cheng is set on the sixth day of March.

When a girl gets married, she has to stay with guests for two days. The first day is for relatives to add make-up to the little girl, and the next day is for the wedding.The Xu family didn't have any uncles, nephews or relatives, and only a few families in the village had to be invited. As for the Zhang family, they were uncles after all, and Xu Huai led his cousin to announce the wedding.

Li's calculations are precise, and the wedding customs, uncle's and aunt's family get a big gift.When the niece got married, the Zhang family had to pay a couple of gifts for their uncles. Similarly, when the nephew of the Fang family married a daughter-in-law, she, as an aunt, also received a big bonus.Regardless of weddings, funerals, and whoever comes with the party, the host family will ask the famous old people in the village to help keep the accounts, and the more should be paid but the less is given, which makes people laugh when it is spread.

Cui Shi was stingy and refused to take care of the Ningxiang siblings, but Li Shi wanted to see if she dared to embarrass herself in front of the guests this time.

According to Ning Xiang, it is enough to invite uncle alone, but Li Shi made up his mind, and Ning Xiang couldn't resist, so he had to let the elders handle it.

On the fifth day of March, the courtyard of the Xu family was filled with tables borrowed from two nearby streets.

Mrs. Li looked at the door while entertaining the guests.

At three poles in the sun, Zhang's donkey cart arrived. Zhang Man was the first to enter the door. Behind him was Zhang Honglin in a sky-blue spring shirt. Cui's youngest son Zhang Hanlin was walking at the end, all smiling, as if they had a relationship with Ningxiang's sister and brother. Harmony, there has always been communication.

All the guests knew the inside story, but except for Zhang Man who looked a little embarrassed, the other three members of the Zhang family talked and laughed freely. Lin was also plump and rich, so he couldn't make these ordinary farmers say anything sarcastic, at most they whispered a few words.

Mrs. Li would also pretend, and greeted her with a smile on her face, "Why are you here now? It made me worry for nothing, thinking that you didn't plan to show up for Xiang'er's big wedding."

"My brother and sister were joking. I met a classmate in Honglin on the way, so I was delayed for a while." Cui explained lightly, looking past her to the west courtyard, holding his son and saying, "Let's go and see Xiang'er first, brother and sister go to say hello." The next guest."

Go straight ahead.

Zhang Man nodded with Xu Shouliang, anxious to see his niece, followed by Zhang Honglin.

Li was worried and asked her husband to work outside, so she followed him in.

In the east room, Ning Xiang was wearing a red dress, sitting on the kang head with a red face, ready for the female relatives to come in to praise and joke at any time, Guan Ping and Xu Qiu'er accompanied her.Hearing Cui's voice, Ningxiang's shy face turned calm, and she looked at the curtain with almond eyes.

Cui was the first to step in, and when she saw the beautiful niece carefully dressed on the kang, her mind suddenly went blank, just like a person full of hostility who suddenly bumps into a flower that is so beautiful and refined, can't help but be intoxicated by it.Fortunately, she was a woman, and she recovered after a brief shock.

Zhang Man is full of men, but the beauty on the kang is his niece, so naturally he has no extra thoughts.

Zhang Honglin couldn't do it anymore, staring at his cousin at the top of the kang, greed and remorse flashed in his eyes one after another.

If he had known that his cousin would be so beautiful, he would have persuaded his mother to lend money to her.If he borrowed it back then, the relationship between the two families would not be strained. As a cousin, he could be close to the water. Why did he miss such a beauty because of ten taels of money?
It's just that if there is no if, my cousin will marry a farm widower tomorrow.

It's simply a waste of money.

Lowering his eyes, Zhang Honglin put away his unwillingness.

Just wait, when he becomes famous, he must find a way to get his cousin back.

The adults had their own thoughts, five-year-old Zhang Hanlin was lying on the edge of the kang, staring at his cousin, "Cousin is so pretty!"

Why doesn't mother like such a beautiful cousin?

At home, I often hear my mother say bad things about my cousin, and the boy also has a nickname in his heart.

Zhang Hanlin tilted his head and looked at his mother suspiciously.

Cui patted her son's head, smiled and talked politely with Ningxiang, praised Ningxiang for being beautiful, and talked about the double happiness, first her son was selected as a scholar, and then Ningxiang got married. He took out a gold-plated hairpin from his sleeve and handed it to Ningxiang, "This is a wish from my aunt, please accept it from Xiang'er."

There was another female family member in the room, Ning Xiang thanked softly, and reached out to take it.

Cui couldn't help but lifted her chin proudly, and gave Li a sideways glance. The two of them usually dress so noble, so why don't they want her hairpin now?She could afford a gold-plated hairpin, but the most important thing was to bring her son over to show off, Li Shi wanted to embarrass her, but she wanted to make everyone envious.

After the formalities were over, Cui went outside to pay the gift money again.Two taels of silver, the biggest gift the Xu family received today, inevitably aroused some envy.This is the case in the village. If you don’t have money to do bad things, it’s very bad. The onlookers can’t wait to step on it. What about asking others?

With a talented son, Cui made a little limelight.

Li Shi was inevitably a little frustrated, but when she thought of her niece's extra income of two taels of silver, she became happy again, which was very real.

Ningxiang couldn't laugh or cry, the guests dispersed, she asked her younger brother to invite her uncle, and returned Cui's hairpin and two taels of silver to him.

She really doesn't want to take advantage of Cui's advantage.

Zhang Man understood what his niece meant, and happily put away his wife's hairpin, but the silver was pushed back. He looked at his niece guiltily and said, "Xiang'er, uncle is sorry for you. I don't know how to make up for it except to give some money. This money is What my uncle earns has nothing to do with her, if he wants to give it to you, if you still recognize me as an uncle, then just keep it, okay?"

The man's eyes were full of pleading, for fear of being rejected, Ning Xiang softened her heart and nodded slightly.

There was silence in the room, and the father and father suddenly had nothing to say. Zhang Man sighed, told his niece a few words, turned around and prepared to leave, showing his hunched back due to premature basket weaving all the year round.Ning Xiang felt sad when she saw it, and stopped him in a low voice, "Uncle."

Zhang Man looked back suspiciously.

Ningxiang smiled softly, "Uncle, Amu and I really don't blame you, you have a good time with my aunt, don't always remember the past."

Zhang Man's eyes were sore, afraid of embarrassing in front of his niece, he hummed and stepped out.

Donglin Village.

Tomorrow is going to marry a daughter-in-law, and the Lu family has been very busy these days. The tables, chairs, dishes, chopsticks, and dishes have all been borrowed. The four members of Lu Ji'an's family who live in the city have also rushed over early, and plan to live from tonight to the end of the day. The bride offers tea and returns to the city.In fact, if they lived in the village, as uncles and aunts, they could just live in their own homes.

According to the custom, the one who should really go back to her mother's house these few nights is the Lu family, and those who have children at home will also bring them over to join in the fun.

However, the red sun was to the west, and Lu only brought his son Zhou Yuan here.

Lu Cheng's face was not very good-looking, and he asked his aunt, "Why didn't Ah Yu come?"

Could it be that his eldest cousin got married, and she refused to come over, so she was really determined not to step into the Lu family's gate again, right?

Mrs. Lu glanced at her second nephew Lu Yan, upset and irritable, and suddenly lost her temper, "After persuading her for a long time, what can I do? Love will come or not, she is a wolf-hearted dog, and she is used to her problems, so you just treat her as if she is not here. This cousin!"

The daughter was at fault, she knew, but the proud daughter was dragged out of the gate by the second nephew, blushing and thick-necked, and she also understood that her daughter couldn't bear to come to her cousin's house.If Lu Yan was her son, or the aunt and nephew were close, she would have persuaded Lu Yan to coax his cousin, but the second nephew didn't want to see her, so Lu would have no face to force his equally angry nephew to coax his daughter.

They are all stubborn and have their own reasons, so let's continue like this.

Mrs. Lu couldn't control it and didn't bother to control it anymore, so he left everyone to go to the new house to see how the preparations were going.

She was in the midst of the situation, so it was not suitable for her to speak, so Mrs. Xu walked up to her second nephew, and coaxed her to persuade him, "Forget it, Ayu was only eleven that year, and children are not sensible. You treat her like that, what a shameless little girl." I can bear it, but I regretted it a long time ago in my heart, as a cousin, you should be more generous and make a trip in person to pick up Ayu?"

"Whoever wants to go will go." Lu Yan turned around with a sullen face and was about to leave.

"stop."

Lu Cheng shouted in a cold voice, looking at his younger brother who turned back, his tone could not be refused, "Go and pick up your cousin, and you don't have to come back if you can't pick her up. A big man is angry with a little girl, and he looks good on himself, doesn't he?"

Lu Yan is the fairest of the three brothers. When he was ridiculed by his elder brother, his face suddenly turned red and white. He didn't want to go, but he couldn't turn a deaf ear to his elder brother's majesty for many years.

Mrs. Pan was the closest to her nephews, so she hurriedly stepped forward to persuade her: "Okay, okay, what's the big day like a cockfight? Boss, what should you do? If you have the ability, you will see Xiang'er tomorrow." If you keep your face sullen, that's what you're capable of!"

Xu's and Lu Fu's little girls all laughed, and even Anan, who was led by A Tao, was playing tricks and laughing.

Lu Cheng's face was still as cold as frost, and he stared at his second brother hard, knowing that his aunt would still persuade him, so he left.

Mrs. Pan drove away a group of children who were about to watch the fun, pulled Lu Yan aside, and said earnestly, "Your eldest brother speaks harshly, but he makes sense. My second child, you are eighteen years old, and you are usually so sensible, why can't you tolerate it?" Your cousin who is five years younger than you? Ayu is the same as your aunt, with a sharp mouth and a bean curd heart, you go and say something soft, and she will come over."

Lu Yan pursed his thin lips tightly and stared at the ground.

Pan patted his shoulder heavily angrily: "Don't look at the monk's face and look at the Buddha's face. Your sister-in-law is going to marry tomorrow. When you lifted the hijab, you saw that A Yuan didn't see his sister. You hope your sister-in-law misunderstands that there is a cousin." I don't like that she doesn't even come to the wedding, or should I laugh at you, little uncle, for having a small stomach after knowing the reason?"

Lu Yan was finally moved. After a moment of boredom, he strode towards Zhou's carriage and got into the carriage neatly.

Pan's breath was deeply relieved, and the other people who had been paying attention here also relaxed.
