Chapter 124 Getting Married
Chapter 130 Getting Married
In the west room, Mrs. Sun is tidying up her clothes, while Jin Xi and Jin Rou are happily flipping over the ropes.Because after tonight, on the third day of the first lunar month next month, Liang Yuzhong's family of four will leave for Sunjiagou.

After dinner, Mrs. Sun was busy packing up her things. All that belonged to the three of them had to be taken away, and the West Room had to be emptied out. When they left tomorrow morning, the house would be returned to Lao Liang's family.

"I made an agreement with Li Zhengna a few years ago. We will build the new house on the side of the official road at the entrance of the village. The small river passes there. It is convenient for washing. When the time comes, we will get an ox cart, and our family will go to the town. It's convenient!" Liang Yuzhong helped Sun's pick it up and talked about it.

When the place was first selected, Liang Yuzhong accompanied Jin Xi with him, which basically meant Jin Xi.

The piece of land Jin Xi likes is not only convenient for laundry, but more importantly, it is not in the village, and it is quite a distance from Lao Liang's house. If you walk, you can't reach it without a stick of incense.

"Let's pack up our things tonight. I borrowed an ox cart. I'll take your mother-in-law three to Sunjiagou early in the morning. Later, when Yuxia and Duhu get married on the sixth day of the lunar new year, I'll come back and start building a house." Son." Liang Yuzhong discussed with Niangsan.

"Father, when it comes to building a house, let's go back a little bit. Mother will not set the moon until around the Mid-Autumn Festival. It will take more than a month to build the house." Jin Xi said: "After the eighth day, you have to help me Let’s renovate the bun shop in the town first, and my plan is to open it on the [-]th day of the first lunar month after the Lantern Festival!”

"Oh, it's done!" Liang Yuzhong responded readily.

"Xi'er, mother hasn't asked you much these days, what business are you renting that steamed stuffed bun shop for?" Sun asked, Liang Yuzhong rubbed his head, but he didn't know.

Jin Xi smiled, and purposely put it off: "Let's not talk about it for now, you will know when you go to Sunjiagou!"

"You girl, you're really a ghost, you even hid it from your parents, alas!" Mrs. Sun shook her head with a smile.

"Mother, the steamed stuffed bun shop has the same layout as Sun Ji's, with an attic on the top and a small courtyard at the back. In the courtyard, there is a small kitchen, a toilet, a miscellaneous room, and two small private rooms that can be masters! In our new house Before the house is completed, you, Rouer Gapo and the others, whenever you come to town, you can rest!"

"Hehe, is that right? That's great!" Sun said with a smile, and Jinrou was even more excited, and shouted: "Oh, we're going to live in the town!"

Liang Yuzhong was also very happy, and went on to talk about his plan.

"I've thought about our new house. The bricklayers will be found in the village. I have agreed with Dahei and Erheiji. They are good at this job, and they are reliable. I will do the carpentry myself. It can save a few wages! Your mother will fall into the moon around the Mid-Autumn Festival, so we are guaranteed to let the youngest of our family fall to the ground in our new house, do you agree?"

Jin Xi and Jin Rou both clapped their hands to say hello, and Mrs. Sun looked at the father and son with a smile on the side, eyes and brows full of indelible happiness and satisfaction.

After a night of no dreams, the next morning, Liang Yuzhong and his family of four went to kowtow goodbye to Lao Liangtou and Mrs. Tan.But Mrs. Tan was lying on the bed with her clothes together, facing inside, leaving only the four of them with indifferent backs from the beginning to the end.

The four of them came out of the east room and went to the west room to carry things. Jin, who was cooking in the upper room, suddenly entered the west room, and clumsily stuffed some rice noodles under Sun's sleeves.

"Sister-in-law, you are..." Sun was stunned.

"The two girls are still empty stomachs in the morning, and they are cold on the way. You take it well, I just warmed it up!" Jin said naively.

"Sister-in-law, we appreciate your kindness. We can't take this cake. If my mother finds out, it will drag you down!" Sun said, feeling very moved.

"I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid!" Jin smiled, and pushed the cake into Sun's sleeve: "Here, you are the one who treats me sincerely, and the second one is bad, bullying me is stupid. Third brother and sister, you are a good person , you help me shovel the pigsty, peel the cotton, hide it from me when I broke the bowl, and save the vegetables for me to eat in the kitchen, I'm not stupid, I know, I know everything!"

She foolishly repeated these few words.

Jin Xi was surprised. In the eyes of the old Liang family, the Jin family had always had no sense of existence. Everyone said that she had a slow mind and was very stupid. Liang Yuju and her four sons didn't like it very much. She, Mrs. Tan and Mrs. Yang stepped on Mrs. Jin's dignity even more, only the family of four in Sanfang didn't do that, and Mrs. Sun always helped her quietly, so she didn't know how much she suffered from Mrs. Tan scold.

The last time the Jin family went crazy and almost strangled Liang Yulin to death, she was even more unpopular in the old Liang's house. The matter of Liang Yuju made her dignity as a married wife completely crushed, and her whole body became even more serious. Silly and silent, she doesn't talk much all day except doing things, and she doesn't like to talk at all.

But at this moment, Mrs. Jin actually ran over to secretly deliver rakes to Mrs. Sun's family of four, and even held Mrs. Sun's hand, saying such words, without good rhetoric, no politeness, no pleasantries, no flattery, a little bit of talking Stuttering and some confusion in word order, but because of this, it highlights the most sincere thoughts in the silly Jin's heart.

Mrs. Sun is a kind person at heart. When she heard Mrs. Jin say this, her eyes turned red instantly, and she said, "Sister-in-law, you are not stupid, I have never looked down on you! After I leave, you are at Lao Liang's house, Be good..." After that, Sun didn't know what to say, as a woman, marrying into her husband's family, there are only a few aspects that can support her waist.

In terms of her natal family, the Jin family has no natal family, she was trafficked and sold here.

As for the man and son, she couldn't trust either side. It can be said that she couldn't live a good life in Lao Liang's house.

Jin grinned, this smile was obviously different from normal people, it was indeed a bit silly, but it was more innocent and happy than normal people, she smiled at Jin Xi and Jin Rou again, then turned and walked out Westinghouse.

Here, Mrs. Sun raised the heels of her palms to wipe away the moisture from the corners of her eyes, stood there for a long time, then sighed, took the hands of the two girls out of the Westinghouse.

………………………………………………………………………

Sunjiagou.

Contrary to the depressive and tense atmosphere of the old Liang's house in recent days, Sun Yuxia's house in Sunjiagou is immersed in a strong and festive atmosphere of Chinese New Year and upcoming marriage.

Jin Xi and the others left early, and they hadn't cooked lunch when they arrived. The yard of the Sun family was cleaned up. There were tall firewood on both sides of the yard, and some simple clothes were drying on the firewood. The firewood blocked it. The wind blows all around.

The warm winter sun shines down from the top of the head. There is a small square table in the middle of the yard. Tea and pastries are placed on the table. Ga Po is sitting at the table drinking tea and basking in the sun. .

Hearing the sound of ox carts outside the yard and the voices of the children, Ga Po stood up and called out to Sun Yuxia who was in the kitchen, and the two rushed to meet the gate of the yard.

Over there, Mrs. Sun was supported by two daughters, one on the left and one on the right, and entered the yard shyly and uncomfortably, followed by Liang Yuzhong, carrying a bundle in his arms and a bed on his back, and brought it back again. The cotton wadding brought over is brisk walking, but the dark face is covered with spring-like smiles,

"Garba, Happy New Year!" Jin Xi and Jin Rou shouted in unison, and then Jin Rou let go of Sun's hand, and jumped into Granny Sun's arms like a bird returning to the forest.

"Okay, okay, happy new year everyone!" Mrs. Sun didn't see her granddaughter for many days, and she panicked thinking about it. Once she hugged her, she couldn't bear to let go.

Sun Yuxia came to pick up the luggage, and Liang Yuzhong carried it directly into the house, put the things away, and went outside the yard to set up the ox cart.

"Yu Bao went out to pay New Year's greetings today, and she won't come back until after lunch. Sister, brother-in-law, didn't you say when you left a year ago, that you would wait until the fourth and fifth day of the lunar new year? Why is it so early?" Sun So Yuxia poured tea for the people who were on the way, and asked with a smile.

It's the New Year's Eve, and it's not appropriate to talk about the unpleasant things that happened in the old Liang's family, so Sun found an excuse to prevaricate it. Seeing Jin Xi helping Sun to sit down, Sun Yuxia laughed again, jokingly said "Girl Xi, I'm afraid she learned a lot of rules from your grandma when she went back this time. From the time your mother entered the door to when she sat down, you supported her by her side. You are more filial than before!"

Sun's cheeks flushed slightly, this trip into the mountains, sitting on the bullock cart, although Liang Yuzhong tried his best to drive smoothly, but Sun still felt the tightness of the bumpy lower abdomen, but fortunately the eldest daughter was careful and put a burden on it for her, It would be better to let her rely on her own body.

Jin Xi pursed her lips and smiled, and gave Jin Rou a wink. Jin Rou understood, hugged Old Madam Sun's face, put her small mouth next to Granny Sun's ear, and muttered to herself.

"Ah? Is there really such a good thing?" Mrs. Sun was shocked, grabbed Sun's hand, and looked at Sun's belly, which was not yet pregnant, and asked fiercely: "Yu Zhen, is this true? Has God really opened his eyes? How old is it?"

Sun Yuxia was confused, she saw Mrs. Sun nodded shyly, and said softly: "According to the calculation, it should be almost two months."

Sun Yuxia was stunned, and then she clapped her hands and laughed, and congratulated Mrs. Sun repeatedly. The old lady Sun beside her couldn't help crying, and she muttered: "God open your eyes, God open your eyes..."

Although Mrs. Sun is young, only 27 or [-] years old, she can't talk about being pregnant with a pearl, but these years have been difficult for her offspring. This has always been the heart disease of the couple and the Sun family.Now, this heart disease is gone, wouldn't you be happy?
"Sister, you are pregnant, why don't you let your brother-in-law come over to say goodbye? We can also give you a gift!" Sun Yuxia complained.

"I thought I'd come here in a few days anyway, so I wouldn't bother the two sides at the foot of the year, and didn't let her father come over." Sun explained.

Sun Yuxia nodded, and Jin Xi said: "Auntie, we are here now, so you can cook more good dishes, treat us like you are welcoming us, and congratulate my mother!"

At the mention of cooking, Sun Yuxia exclaimed: "Oh, the ingots are still stuffed in the pot, now it's mushy!" After she finished speaking, she turned around and ran towards the kitchen, not forgetting to greet Jin Xi: "Girl Xi! , don’t sit still, hurry up and help auntie cook!”

Those who are close to each other never distinguish each other, Jin Xi smiled and stood up: "Okay, I'll come right away!" Boiled Yuanbao is Boiled Meat and Bones, Jinxi's favorite dish.

Here, Mrs. Sun couldn't sit still: "You are pregnant, and Yuxia is going to get married. This is double happiness. I have to tell your father immediately!"

"Mother, I'll go with you, and I'm going to burn incense sticks for dad!" said Sun, and together with Jin Rou, helped Old Madam Sun into the main room.

....................................

On the night of the fifth day of the first lunar month, in the main room of the Sun family, the family closed the door and carefully counted Sun Yuxia's dowry again.

Speaking of these dowries, most of them have already been purchased years ago, and some of them were specially brought back by Jinxi when she went to Wanghai Xiangcheng to buy goods.

There are wooden chests, clothes for four seasons, obscene clothes inside, shoes and socks for four seasons, a set of basins for washing face, bathe and feet, basic daily necessities, hair brushing, facial cleansing, hand protection, bathing, etc. There is a new set of pots and pans in the kitchen.

Liang Yuzhong made the dressing table, the wash stand, and an oval-shaped bronze mirror inlaid on the dressing table, which excited Sun Yuxia and wiped it every day to make it spotless.

Jin Xi opened the box, a girl from someone else's family was getting married, she wanted to dry the box, so that others could see how good this girl's embroidery was.In Sun Yuxia's suitcase, apart from the torn clothes, there are only a few pillow covers embroidered by her own hands. The flowers on the pillow covers are mandarin ducks playing in the water, nothing else.

Jin Xi felt a little sour in her heart. Auntie's embroidery work was definitely good, and she decided to save face. She did a lot of embroidery work. First, because her family was poor, and then because she wanted to subsidize Jin Xi to open a shop, she I sold all my embroidery work, and when I got married, I only had a few pillow covers.

But fortunately, Jin Xi and Sun Shi have already prepared for her to save face.Mrs. Sun also asked Sun, who came over, to call Sun Yuxia into the room and give some private instructions.

"Sister, guess what Mother said to Auntie? Why did Auntie turn red when she came out?" Jin Rou is a real child and doesn't understand, but Jin Xi, a fake child, knows that Sun is giving Sun Yuxia taught some things about men's and women's bridal chambers, but Sun Yuxia was ashamed. Sun herself also had a blush on her face, which took a long time to dissipate.

When falling asleep, Sun Yuxia looked at the boudoir where she had grown up for seventeen or eighteen years, touched the bed, the curtain, and the quilt, thinking that she would get married tomorrow. Although Sun Dahu's house was only a few steps away, Sun Yuxia The mood of the bride-to-be is still unspeakably complicated.

After tossing and turning for a long time, she fell into a deep sleep, and before she fell asleep for a while, she was called out by Mrs. Sun.

Sun Yuxia looked at the misty white outside the window with dark circles under her eyes, and only then remembered that today is the sixth day of the first lunar month, and she is going to get married.

Jin Xi also woke up, and on such a happy day, she was so excited that she couldn't sleep, she hurriedly got dressed and went down to the floor, made the bed properly, wandered around in front of and behind Sun Yuxia, waiting for her call at any time.

Jin Xi heard from Mrs. Sun that later on, people from Sun Dahu's family who will welcome her, as well as relatives and friends from the woman's family, will come to Sun Yuxia's house for breakfast.

Sun Yuxia first cleaned up briefly, and all the obscene clothes inside were replaced with brand new ones, and the kitchen was handed over to Mrs. Sun. Mrs. Sun found Aunt Qinya and other good women in the village, and they were in full swing preparing for the morning. two tables banquet.

Mrs. Sun took Jinrou and was in charge of receiving relatives outside. Liang Yuzhong greeted the relatives full-time. Whether it was welcoming relatives or sending relatives off, they were all from Sunjiagou. There are only more than 30 families in Sunjiagou, which is about the same today. They are all mobilized.

As the real brother-in-law, Sun Yubao also changed into brand-new clothes this time, with his hair raised high, like a handsome and tall young man.Zhang Luo inside and outside his house did not stop.

Jin Xi accompanied Sun Yuxia from the door, seeing the opportunity, went to the kitchen to get Sun Yuxia a bowl of noodles with two poached eggs in it.

"Auntie, before Aunt Lanhua comes to comb your hair and make you look better, hurry up and eat something to fill your belly." Jin Xi said, Aunt Lanhua is the real wife in the Sunjiagou, with both children and her mother's family is also prosperous. When people marry a girl or a daughter-in-law, they will invite her over to borrow her blessings.

"I just eat poached eggs this early in the morning? It's too expensive, and I can't eat it. It would be great if I had some millet porridge!" Sun Yuxia said.

"Ah, my aunt is wrong. The noodles are soft and hungry. You eat porridge early in the morning. When you get married, the children in the village will come to see the bride sitting on the bed, but you have to go back and forth. Are you ashamed to run to the toilet?" Jin Xi asked, shaving her face.

Sun Yuxia blushed, and said, "Okay, then I'll eat. I'll go to his house later, and I'll have a lot of trouble. Eat something to strengthen me!"

After Sun Yuxia finished chopping the noodles, she heard Aunt Lanhua greet Mrs. Sun outside the house, and then Mrs. Sun led Aunt Lanhua into Sun Yuxia's boudoir.

At the door of the boudoir, surrounded by a few women watching the excitement, there are also a group of children who push each other and poke their heads into the boudoir. Children are like this, and they always have a sense of mystery to the bride, even if the bride is usually Every day in the village, I can't see the acquaintances I see when I look down.

Jin Xi secretly looked at Aunt Lan Hua, she was a nodding, short and fat woman in her thirties, with crooked eyes, thick lips, and a red mole beside her nose.Her body was tidied up very neatly, her hair was tied up in a woman's bun at the back of her head, and a carved silver hairpin was inserted.

Sun Yuxia blushed and got up to salute Quanfu. Aunt Lanhua helped Sun Yuxia, who was blushing and dyed her cheeks, looked her up and down, and praised to the old lady Sun beside her, "What a good girl, with such a figure and appearance, He is one of the best in our Jinjishan Village. He is capable and knows how to be courteous. If that kid Dahu married our Yuxia, then he found a treasure!"

Mrs. Sun naturally said a few modest words, and Sun Yuxia's cheeks seemed to be on fire, and the redness became even stronger.Aunt Lanhua asked Sun Yuxia to sit there, waiting for her to comb her hair and face, and to paint her eyebrows, powder and rouge!

Jin Xi brings hot tea and pastries to Aunt Lan Hua.

Aunt Lan Hua took the tea, squinted her eyes and looked at Jin Xi, her eyes were bright, and she said to Old Madam Sun: "You are a blessed old man, whether it is a daughter or a granddaughter, all of them are beautiful! You Look, girl Xi, who is coming out now, has pretty eyebrows, good skin, and looks like she can pinch water! Tsk tsk, there is really no choice!"

Aunt Lanhua spared no effort to praise her, which made Jinxi a little embarrassed. She often looked in the mirror and knew that she was pretty and pretty, with a thin build and fair skin.

If Aunt Lanhua saw Liang Jinlan, she would definitely overturn the words she praised Jinxi at the moment.However, Jin Xi never envies or envies Liang Jinlan's charming and beautiful face, she thinks that she is already very good.

Mrs. Sun laughed along with her, and exchanged some pleasantries. There was a commotion outside, followed by the crackling of firecrackers. It turned out that Sun Dahu's family had sent someone to greet the relatives, and Mrs. Sun hurried out to say hello. Aunt Lan Hua washed her hands again in the warm water brought by Jin Xi, then opened the small wooden box she brought with her, and picked from the pile of combs, hair ties, and twine inside, and was about to start dressing the bride.

In order not to be disturbed, the door of Sun Yuxia's boudoir was ajar, and a few women were left in the room to watch around, and Jin Xi was also curiously watching Aunt Lanhua's every move.

Aunt Lanhua first combed Sun Yuxia's black hair into a cloud bun, inserted festive colored flowers, painted Sun Yuxia with makeup, and put red on her lips.Then, she took out a thin silk thread from the wooden box, dexterously turned the cross-shaped flower rope with her fingers, and pressed it against Sun Yuxia's powdered cheek.

Then, Jinxi heard Aunt Lanhua singing a song:

Take the red line and the green line at both ends

The girl is going to get married on a good day

I pull the red wire at both ends

Furong came out of the water to her husband's house

Aunt Lanhua was singing, her fingers were still opening and closing. After singing, the hair on Sun Yuxia's face was twisted off, and her face was smooth and tender. look.

This thing is better than hair removal cream, Jin Xi thought to herself, blinking her eyes, watching Aunt Lan Hua's next move with interest.

Long ago, a woman took a large bamboo sieve and placed it on the ground in front of the bed, and then poured a bucket of white rice and a liter of beans into the bamboo sieve. Sun Yuxia sat in the bamboo sieve obediently, stepped on the rice and beans, and then , the door opened, and Jinrou helped Mrs. Sun, who was wiping tears, into the room, followed by Sun Yubao, Mrs. Sun and Liang Yuzhong. Sun's eyes were also red, but everyone had smiles on their faces.

The pungent Sun Yuxia saw her close relatives coming in crying and laughing, her eyes were red at the moment, and she plopped and kowtowed several times to Mrs. Sun.

Mrs. Sun said: "Good, good..." While giving Sun Yuxia a red envelope, Sun Yuxia knelt down and kowtowed to Sun Yubao and Sun's Liang Yuzhong as usual. Sun Yubao also gave Sun Yuxia a red envelope.

Jin Xi knew that Sun Yuxia was performing a 'kneeling ceremony' for the newlyweds, and Mrs. Sun and the others had prepared all the dowry, so giving the red envelope was a symbol.

When it was Mrs. Sun's turn, in addition to giving Sun Yuxia a red envelope, she also put a silver hairpin inlaid with beads on Sun Yuxia's hair, and a pair of sterling silver earrings.

East and west of Zhejiang, in the eyes of the women in the village and Aunt Lanhua, it was a very generous kneeling ceremony. Sun Yuxia and Mrs. Sun didn't know that Sun and the others had prepared these things for a long time.

Mrs. Sun originally wanted to talk to Mrs. Sun, but Jin Xi stopped her. She wanted to give Auntie a temporary surprise, but unexpectedly, she was really shocked.

Knowing that her sister and brother-in-law are leaving the house now, Sun Yuxia couldn't bear to accept such a heavy gift, so she was about to pull it off her head immediately, and was held down by Sun.

"Silly girl, it's a happy day, don't be stupid, you can borrow whatever my sister gives you, and live a good life with Dumb, and the good days will last for a long time..."

So, Sun Yuxia could only nod with sobs, and accepted the generous gift from her sister's family.
