Chapter 385 He Ji's Engagement Period (2)
Moreover, since the little guy was sleeping just now, Li Shi also moved the ice basin to a place farther away from the bed.

Lin Xiaoqiao hugged Brother An, sat back beside Li Shi, and said, "Our Brother An is getting heavier and heavier. In a few days, he may not be able to hold him anymore."

Mrs. Li smiled and said, "What's wrong? He eats and sleeps well, so how could he not gain weight? Every time I hold him now, I find it hard, let alone your thin arms and legs. I can't bear to hug him on such a hot day, so you are the only one who cares about him every day and hugs him all day long."

As soon as An Geer saw the red silk cloth in Li's hand, he got excited, stretched out his two fat arms, hooked his body and wanted to get it, and shouted, "Mother——" mother--'.

It's strange to say that An Ge'er learned to be called 'Mother' when he was seven months old. Since then, Lin Xiaoqiao has held him every day and taught him to call him 'Sister'.

However, after teaching this for a month or two, Brother An still only knows how to call 'mother', and he still hasn't learned the word 'sister'. This incident makes Lin Xiaoqiao quite annoyed and depressed.

Fortunately, for the sake of experimentation, Lin Xiaoqiao also taught him to call other things, such as 'father', 'brother', 'uncle', 'aunt' and so on, but the little guy didn't learn any of them.

In this way, Lin Xiaoqiao's heart became a little more balanced, at least it showed that the little guy didn't mean to address the title of 'sister'.

As for why he would be called 'mother' so early, Lin Xiaoqiao thought about it, and it could only be attributed to the little baby's nature.

Mrs. Li looked very happy when she heard Ang'er call her 'mother', raised her head, hugged the little guy with a smile and kissed him, patted his little buttocks, and said: "Okay, mother is working now, please Ansheng Come on, sit on your sister's lap."

Lin Xiaoqiao hugged him and sat down, took a little tiger puppet from the bed, stuffed it into Angle's hand, and said: "You little heartless, my sister comes to play with you every day, it's been so long , I still don’t know how to call ‘sister’, which makes me happy.”

This little tiger was brought over by Lin Xiaoxi two days ago, so An Geer only played with it for two days, and the freshness of the puppet still exists. I quite like it.

So, the little guy got his favorite toy, so he sat down peacefully, grabbed the little tiger, pulled it, bit it, and muttered to himself, making a sound of 'babbling'.

Seeing that he had calmed down, Lin Xiaoqiao stopped caring about him, and started talking with Mrs. Li.

As the mother and daughter talked, they brought up the topic of Lin Xiaoxi's imminent death. This is a big event, and Mrs. Li has always kept it in mind, and she has started talking about it several times since last month.

Seeing that there are not many days left, it is June 15th, Lin Xiaoxi's birthday, this year is her 15th birthday, in ancient times, for all boudoir girls, after the [-]th birthday, it represents Two meanings.

The age of 15 firstly means that a girl has grown up, and then it means that the girl can marry.

The most obvious change is starting from the hair bun. When the ancient women reach the age of 15, most of them will hold the "Ji Ji Ceremony". , which is an expression of 'adult'.

It is also a reminder of the responsibilities and roles in life. As an "adult" girl, she can no longer rely too much on her parents' love, and must start to learn to be self-improving and grow up.

Jiji ceremony is an adult ceremony that every girl must go through in her life. Generally speaking, those whose family background is not very rich, or girls who are at home, do not receive much attention. .

However, if the family is relatively wealthy, especially those who attach great importance to their children, they will often hold a "Jiji ceremony" ceremony for their daughters, and invite relatives and friends to watch the ceremony.

Li Shi has always been a mother who loves her children, and she loves her daughter even more. Therefore, this time, Lin Xiaoxi's "Jiji Ceremony" is also planned to be more grand.

Even though she is most bored and impatient with socializing with the female family members of those wealthy families, but this time, Mrs. Li decided to spread invitations and invite others to come to her door to attend her eldest daughter's wedding ceremony.

Therefore, with Li's intention, Lin Xiaoqiao hugged An Ge'er and went to Widow Zheng's room, wanting to discuss some specific details with her.

Although Mrs. Li intends to make her daughter's wedding ceremony more grand, she has never been in touch with these matters after all, so she doesn't understand many things, so she can only ask Lin Xiaoqiao to ask Widow Zheng for advice.

Widow Zheng was reading a book alone in the room, and she was also very happy to see Lin Xiaoqiao's sister and brother coming. She hugged An Ge'er and teased her for a while before talking about serious business with her.

After Widow Zheng understood Li's meaning, she discussed with Lin Xiaoqiao. It was not difficult to deal with details, tailor new clothes, and entertain guests.

"Since your mother wants to make a big deal, we have to start preparing now. There are only ten days left before June [-]th. We have to hurry up and do everything. The first is the clothes and hairpins on the day of Jiji ceremony, which is considered the most important item. After all, there must be a lot of people who came to watch the ceremony that day, and these things must not be sloppy." Widow Zheng hugged An Geer, A confession.

Lin Xiaoqiao listened carefully, and replied with a smile: "That's for sure, our family is not a small family in the town now, so of course we should pay attention to these. However, we must wear clothes, hairpins, etc., is there anything special about these? My mother and I don’t know much about these things, so Aunt Zheng has to teach them carefully.”

Widow Zheng smiled faintly after hearing this, and said: "The Jiji ceremony is divided into the process of picking clothes, initial addition, addition, and three additions. The clothes worn in each ceremony are different. , so in terms of clothing, we still need to spend a little more time. I thought about it, let's not save trouble, and make clothes by ourselves. Xiaoxi is also busy with embroidering dowry recently, and she doesn't have much time, so she just arrived The best embroidery shop in the town, entrust this task to them. They are all used to doing this, and they know every piece of Jiji Li's clothing like the back of their hands, so there must be no problem."

Lin Xiaoqiao nodded, and also felt that this suggestion was feasible, saving trouble and more reliable.

Afterwards, the two discussed and discussed the details. At the same time, they spent some more time deciding on the participants.

At the Jiji ceremony, the host, the guest of honor, the secretary, and the praiser are all indispensable. Lin Xiaoxi's parents are both present, so if there is no doubt about the host, the Li family will be the host. The guest of honor needs a female elder with virtue and ability. After discussing with Mrs. Li, Xiaoqiao decided to invite Widow Zheng to be the guest of honor. Lin Xiaoxi also had no objection to this.
