After the Guan family left, Mrs. Liu pulled Mrs. Zhang and muttered, saying that the dowry was so small that it was so thin.Mrs. Zhang knew that her mother-in-law just wanted to talk to someone, but this kind of thing would never be spread, so she let her talk.

"They give less dowry, so we can't compare it when we go back to the dowry? It's just such a box, what can we put in it..."

Mrs. Liu rubbed her hands chatteringly, and Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "Mother-in-law, just give it to me face-saving, and give it to my younger sister in private. This is also my younger sister's dowry, but it's just not clear. That's all."

Mrs. Liu's eyes brightened upon hearing this, isn't that the reason?Immediately praised: "You have a good idea! I will give her a dowry after she gets married!"

Then he asked Mrs. Zhang: "The fifth girl from the Guan family will stay with you in the next afternoon. How is she?"

"pretty good."

"Hey, I'm asking you about her temperament. Does she speak harshly?" Mrs. Liu thought about that day when Mrs. Sun had trouble with the Guan family, and Axiu was among the same generation of the Guan family. After she said something, I also think she has a good temper, what do you think?"

"Mother-in-law is worried about my sister's relationship with sister-in-law after she gets married?" Mrs. Zhang smiled, "Axiu talked to my sister today, and the two of them chatted for a while, and they talked quite well."

Jiang came back from outside holding a handful of vegetables, and upon hearing this, he couldn't help but say, "Mother-in-law, don't worry too much, the five girls of the Guan family are all eighteen this year, and it's her turn to get married when my sister gets married. The sister-in-law relationship is not that complicated, doesn't she have to point at her sister to help her? I don't think the fifth girl will make things difficult for my sister."

Liu nodded with satisfaction.That's right, after marrying Xin'er, she will grow up to be a sister-in-law. The elder sister-in-law is like a mother, and the younger brothers and sisters of Liang Guan Dalang dare not give her a wink.

The marriage was completely settled, everything was going through the motions according to the established rules, Liu's heart was more than half lost, and the focus shifted to Jiang's stomach.But the Li family sons are busy plowing the soil and adding enough fertilizer to the soil.

With the arrival of the beginning of autumn, the rice in the field began to enter the mature stage of filling, and the upcoming autumn harvest made the Li family smile.This year's crops are done well, and there will definitely be more output than in previous years.

As soon as the beginning of autumn is over, it will usher in the day when the Guan family will get married.

Li Xin has been detained by Mrs. Liu these days. Mrs. Liu does not let her do any work, only allows her to sew some clothes, and even her two little nephews are not allowed to get too close to her.Mrs. Zhang whispered to Li Xin that her mother wanted her to have a white, tender and watery body after marriage, so as to replenish her energy.

Li Xin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, watching Liu's busy work with a smile on his face, he felt warm in his heart.

Li Houzhong can't help you with this matter. The daughter said that the marriage is about to get married, and Liu is busy. He doesn't dare to act like a master at this time. He will do whatever Liu asks him to do. What.Li Dalang specially went to get high-quality wood, and packed a big box for Li Xin, and Mrs. Zhang helped paint it.Li Erlang knew nothing else, seeing his wife was idle, he tore the cloth and asked his wife to make two sets of new clothes for his sister.Li Ming is still a 12-year-old school boy, and his only income is from Li Xin. He doesn't know what gift to prepare for her sister, so his second brother took him to the mountain to catch two dusty wild rabbits for Li Ming. Xin, he said that he wanted her to kill and eat rabbit meat, but he kept it for fun, which made Li Xin dumbfounded.

On the first night of the wedding ceremony, Mrs. Liu went to Li Xin's house and told her not to let herself be wronged when she went there.

Li Xin smiled slightly, and was still doing work in a leisurely manner.Mrs. Liu snatched the sole of the shoe in her hand and said angrily, "What kind of shoes are you doing at night!"

"Mother, the family will come to greet the relatives tomorrow. After we go there, we will have a rest for one night, and we will serve tea to the elders the next day. Guan Wen's father and grandfather are both there, and there are only two pairs. Compared with those four generations living under the same roof, , I'm already much more relaxed."

Li Xin took back the things, slowly moving stitches and stitches.Mrs. Liu said sourly: "Before you get married, you become someone else's family. I haven't seen you give a pair to your mother."

"Sister-in-law and second younger siblings are both filial, mother is still short of me?"

"Hmph, isn't it just your pair?"

Mrs. Liu reprimanded her with a sullen face, but she laughed first.Li Xin didn't stop moving his hands, and raised his eyes slightly to look at Mrs. Liu, with smiles all over his eyes, "Okay, then I will make a pair for my mother when my daughter is free, and keep them warm."

"You girl, you even picked up your old lady."

Liu's thick palm patted Li Xin, the mother and daughter looked at each other and smiled, Li Xin suddenly said to Liu: "Mother, don't worry, I am not the kind of person who has never seen the world, and I will face gossip when I marry. I have thought about it too. Mother, don’t worry about me. I have a steelyard in my heart. I have my own measure of right and wrong. I won’t suffer if others want to bully me. As Mother said, my daughter has her mother’s family. Right? Even if the daughter is married, she is still a girl from the Li family, and she is the mother's treasure. With the mother around, the daughter will have confidence and not be afraid. Mother, I will be fine, and I will come back to see you often in the future, you Don't worry."

Silently, Mrs. Liu took Li Xin over, patted her on the back, and sighed, "It is said that the married daughter spilled water, and I'm going to throw you out. I really don't want to part with it."

"I can't bear mother..."

Liu was very happy when her daughter acted like a baby to her, and her heart was filled with warmth, "The Guan family didn't give much dowry, and the dowry we returned was the same as others'. We just carried the box. But the things inside were all It's real. The money you gave to your parents when you come back will be kept by your parents, and will be given to you when you return home, so as not to give it as a dowry on the spot, and the Guan family will be slandered."

Li Xin shook his head and said: "The ones that are given to the parents belong to the parents. Parents should take good care of them for the elderly. Don't be so frugal on weekdays. If you can't make money with your money, buy more delicious food and drink. It’s also a luxury, the money is enough for you to use for a long time.”

"It's nonsense, those money parents can't move."

"A few days ago, Dad bought an iron plow, and he couldn't just leave it there. When the family's affairs were free, Mother went to tell Dad to buy a cow and come back. It is much faster to rely on the cow to plow the land. Although the family land is not More but not less, relying on the big brother and the second brother to work hard, it is also very harmful to the body."

Mrs. Liu hesitated for a moment and still shook her head. Li Xin pressed her hand, "Even if Mother gives it to me, I don't want it. There is no need to discuss this matter."

"You girl..."

"Mom, what people know is that you love me, but the people in the Guan family are not blind. I can't spend the money I got from you? After spending the money, others will know that I have money in my hand. You should know what it means." Ah, others will say that I obtained private money behind the Guan family's back. It's fine if the Guan family is rich, but the Guan family is very poor, and one or two taels of silver may be a huge sum of money. Tell me, what will the Guan family think then?"

Mrs. Liu didn't expect this level. After listening to Li Xin's analysis with her, she felt that it made sense, but she didn't want her daughter to live in a poor and miserable life.Seeing her mother waver, Li Xin knew that her mother wanted to make up for what she owed her, especially in matters of marriage.If Li Xin hadn't been sold back then, wouldn't she be able to find a promising son-in-law with her figure, appearance, chaste temperament, and good housework?

But now the man she is going to marry is an older leftover man with a disfigured face and a limp, with a heavy burden on his shoulders and a lot of family members...

Mrs. Liu sighed softly, Li Xin hugged her mother's thick waist, and hugged her, "Mother, you keep this money, without this money, I can live a good life."

"Girl, if you are short of money... go home and tell me, ah."

It took Liu some time to come up with such a solution, but there was no other way.In this way, Li Xin will go home and reach out to ask his parents for money?That is of course unlikely.

"Okay, listen to my mother."

Li Xin smiled slightly, coquettishly asking Liu Shi to sleep with her tonight.Mrs. Liu scolded her for being clingy, but she still took off her shoes and went to the kang.

"...Mom, the family is not short of money now. I thought about it carefully. My father's waist is bad and he can't go to the field. He can weave bamboo at home every day. After saving it, he can sell it. Dustpans, baskets, bamboo baskets, etc. It can be used by everyone, and it is meticulously woven by Dad, and it is not easy to break, and no one will buy it. Dad used to make it by himself and then sold it piecemeal, and he didn't pay attention to the price. It's better to specialize in this, etc. Save a certain amount and send it to the grocery store in the town for consignment, or simply sell it to the grocery store. Although the price will be lower, the more things you have, the more money you will have.”

Li Xin babbled with Liu Shi on the bed, and Liu Shi listened very carefully.

Li Xin said again: "Father wants to buy a cow to reduce the burden on the eldest brother and the second brother, so let's buy the cow with the money. The eldest brother and the second brother can use the extra time to do other things. The eldest brother is a stable person. I heard from my sister-in-law that he beats the cows." The wood is very good, and I think I inherited my father's skillful expertise. Nowadays, carpentry is very popular, and my eldest brother can discuss with some old masters. It is not a bad thing to have many skills. The second brother has a lot of strength, and he usually plays the kind The strenuous odd jobs also make it difficult. After all, the second sibling is pregnant, and the child is chewable after birth, so more money is needed to raise the baby. There is also Mingzi. Mingzi is good at reading, but he can't give up halfway. He is 12 years old Now, it’s time to take the child’s test, let him talk to the husband and recommend him to give it a try.”

Li Xin smacked his mouth, "And mother, you really don't have a good temper, and you always get angry. In the future, don't worry about it so much, relax your mind, and pick some mint to soak in water when you have nothing to do. It can reduce internal heat. Although bitter gourd is a bit bitter, it is the best to eat in summer, and it also has the effect of reducing internal heat..."

The voice gradually decreased, and the newlyweds on the bed slowly fell asleep.
