pastoral wedding

Chapter 32
Seeing her mother sitting down to eat noodles, Su Jin wanted to talk to her elder sister and educate her about the things in the deep house compound. Although she had never experienced it, she had read such novels a lot in her previous life. Have some experience.

Who would have thought that before she went out, she saw a few people pushing open the fence door of their house and coming in in the dark. After a closer look, it was the grandmother who led the sister-in-law and the second aunt, and the second aunt led the two daughters. I don't know why the big battle came, but she knew it must be nothing good, so she hurriedly called her mother, "Mother, grandma and second aunt are here."

Liu Shi didn't swallow her face and almost choked, Su Jin hurriedly patted her on the back, but she hurriedly said: "Go and lock the door of the West Room." The West Room is the room where the Han family's betrothal gifts are kept.

Suddenly, Su Jin hurriedly ran to lock the door, hid the key in her arms, just turned around, and saw people from the old house had come in, forced a smile, and greeted them, "Grandmother, Second Aunt, Sister-in-law, Sister Mei, Xiao Qinger, why are you all here, what's the matter?"

Mrs. Lu glanced around, and sat down at the table where Mrs. Liu was eating noodles before, but Mrs. Liu disappeared holding the bowl. "Where are your father and your mother?"

Su Jin blinked, "My father and mother went to town and haven't come back yet. My second sister followed suit. The eldest sister is doing needlework in her own room, and Brother Shuo is studying. Grandma, what do you do?"

"What are your father and your mother doing in the town?" Shi Lu looked around, obviously not believing, "Did they not stay at home and go to the town on such a happy day?"

"Grandmother drinks tea." Su Jin poured tea for them with a smile, grabbed some sugar for Xiao Qing'er and stuffed it in her hand, and then said, "Grandma, you also said that it's a good day, no, the Han family will send it to you." The betrothal gift came, so my parents don’t worry about leaving these things at home. You also know that our house has no courtyard wall, and the fence gate can’t stop anything. It was stolen a while ago, so it’s The pawnshops in the town that pulled the bullock carts were stored.” The pawnshops in the town can not only pawn things, but also keep things for others, as long as they pay a certain amount of storage fees.

She deliberately brought up the stolen iron pot. Lu's face was very unnatural, but quickly changed, "Then let me ask you, what dowry did the Han family give your eldest sister?"

"Well." Su Jin giggled, but she was thinking in her heart, knowing that you have no good intentions, you have to make up your mind if you dare to love my eldest sister's betrothal gift, "I didn't see clearly."

"You didn't see clearly?" Su Ran jumped up, "How is that possible? If you don't take a second look at so many good things, who are you fooling?"

Su Jin was leaning on the door frame, since she had the key anyway, so she wasn't afraid that they would make trouble, "What good things? I don't care for them. Even the best things belong to my elder sister. What do I want?" , unlike some people, just looking at it is not enough, but they also want to reach out to grab it, tsk tsk, if they can't hold it, they will turn pale in a hurry, and they are not afraid of embarrassment."

"What are you talking about!" Su Ran stepped forward and questioned, "I am also your sister-in-law after all, you are so young? How did your father and mother teach you!"

"Who are my father and mother? Who is yours?" Su Jin approached her step by step, "I am neither old nor young, what about you? You still know that you are an elder, but you don't have the self-consciousness of being an elder Bar?"

"You..." Su Ran has always been a young bird who has been shot, but her quick temper is straightforward, and she can say whatever she has.

Su Jin ignored her, and turned to look at Xiao Lu, "What is Second Aunt here for? Is she also interested in my elder sister's betrothal gift?"

Xiao Lu hurriedly stepped back, "I, I just followed your grandmother to come and take a look."

"What's so interesting, it's just those things, grandma, if you want to see it too, just wait until my parents come back and ask them. This thing has been sent to the town for storage, and it can't be seen. "Su Jin thinks it's better to talk to her grandmother. Her sister-in-law is a brainless reckless man. As for the second aunt, she only stands behind people to pick up petty gains. Su Mei is a scheming person, but she has no one in this family. Naturally, there is no need to guard against her in the speaking position.

Mrs. Lu stood up, coughed, and pretended to be calm and said: "Three girls, since your parents are not at home, we will stay here soon. When your parents come back, you can tell them and let them go back. Just a trip to the old house will do."

Su Jin agreed, and they left back and forth. Seeing the fence gate of their house being pushed open and closed by them, Su Jin couldn't help complaining, what can this fence gate block? There are so many good things in the house today. Everyone has seen it, so it doesn't mean that no one cares about it. It seems that these things should be transferred as soon as possible.

"Mother, people are gone, come out."

Mrs. Liu came out of the inner room with an empty bowl, and poked her head outside the door, and praised her daughter, "You are so smart, you can stop your grandmother from speaking, what a mother!" My good daughter." Putting down the bowl, he said, "Why didn't your father and your second sister come back after going to the mountains? It's so late."

As soon as the words fell, the man came back with two rabbits and a pheasant in his hands. They went to the mountain in the afternoon to see the trap dug yesterday, and there were so many harvests.

Su Tang also came out of the house when he heard the commotion, and helped the younger sister bring out the food that was warm in the pot. Brother Shuo heard that he had caught rabbits and pheasants, so he put down his books and ran out, letting Mrs. Liu see it for a while. Pack up.

Looking at this bustling scene, Su Jin felt warm in her heart, and she was willing to guard such a beautiful home to make up for the regrets of her previous life.

Su Wenshan still went to the old house, Liu Shi was worried, afraid that he would let go of what he promised to give there, and followed. The three sisters wanted to go, but when they reached the gate of the old house, they were kicked out by Su Mei. Grandma refused to let her go. In miles.

Su Jin didn't know what the adults said in it, but she knew that her father and mother had quarreled when they came back, and she closed the door when she returned to the room in a motherly way, preventing her father from going back to sleep. The sisters and Brother Shuo helped to talk It's useless to say good things for a long time, so they have to persuade their father to go to Brother Shuo's house to make do for the night.

In the early morning of the next day, dew was still hanging on the bamboo leaves in the yard, which was crystal clear, round and beautiful like the pearl necklace sent by the Han family yesterday.

The three sisters washed and cooked vegetables, one washed rice and cooked porridge, and the other lit the fire, busy preparing breakfast; Su Wenshan got up, wiped his face and went to fetch water, brother Shuo got up and went to take pictures of his mother's room The door was kicked out, and she went into the kitchen dejectedly, "Eldest sister, second sister, third sister, what happened to our mother?"

The three sisters looked at each other, and Su Jin pulled him over and stuffed a small tomato into his mouth, "It's okay, don't the two of them always quarrel, my sister promises you, it will be fine when you finish school in the afternoon." , now go to school after dinner, you don’t have to worry about your parents’ affairs.” Although Brother Shuo is not young anymore, because he is the youngest in the family, his parents and sisters love him like a child, But loving does not mean coddling, with his second sister around, he would not dare to do anything foolish, on the contrary, he is very sensible.

Su Tang has already served the food quickly, and asked Brother Shuo to eat first. After taking two bites, Brother Shuo stopped eating, and ran to school with an egg in his hand.

Su Tang called her father to eat again, Su Wenshan sat down and looked at the three daughters in front of him, intending to confess, "Your mother is too impatient, I, I... your grandmother said Our family has received so many betrothal gifts from the Han family, but girl Ran’s marriage has not yet been settled, so it’s hard to find a good family after being messed with like this. You have to have a thick dowry. I’m thinking about the same thing , I promise to give your grandmother 100 taels of silver, anyway, our family does not lack that money now, I..."

"Father, what you said is wrong. You can give money to grandma, but the marriage between my eldest sister and the Han family was not snatched from my sister-in-law. It was brother Chen and elder sister who were in love with each other, so they came to propose marriage." , you can’t feel this kind of guilt in your heart. Originally, this matter was just wishful thinking of grandma and sister-in-law. Didn’t you say that the other day? Master Han just agreed to go back and think about it. Naturally, the younger generation has no objection, but you can’t tell them that it came from the elder sister’s betrothal gift. You and your mother have also agreed that the elder sister’s betrothal gift cannot be changed, and the dowry will be given to the elder sister. If you let go of this I'm afraid there won't be much of these betrothal gifts left when Eldest Sister gets married."

"Don't say it came from the betrothal gift, how should I explain the money to your grandmother? We are buying mountains and shops, how can the little money from the bun shop be enough?" Su Wenshan was distressed. road.

Su Jin smiled, "Then we don't care, Dad can figure it out."

"Then, let's wait until our shop earns money in the future. Anyway, your sister-in-law hasn't even settled on a marriage, so it won't be necessary for a while."

Doesn't it make sense, mother is still crying and making noise over there, and father is not such an unreasonable person, as long as mother is willing to sit down and talk to him, it will work, but mother's temper Urgent, as soon as the man opened his mouth, she felt displeased when she heard it, and immediately turned her face.Su Jin sighed secretly.

After talking about this, Su Jin went to knock on her mother's door again. She couldn't say anything, and finally she had to say that she was going to the town, and there were a lot of things to be busy. The furniture should also be checked and accepted. Pay money.Only then did Mrs. Liu open the door with red eyes, and Su Wenshan bowed and begged for mercy, coaxing Mrs. Liu into tears.

The family sat down and ate breakfast happily, and then drove the ox cart to the town.The soldiers were divided into two groups. Su Jin and her mother went to inspect the furniture first. Su Jin checked it strictly, and seeing that it was the same as what she asked for, she asked her mother to pay the money, and asked the furniture maker to send it to the shop.

Su Wenshan and the other two daughters were waiting in the shop to deliver the furniture, and instructed them to arrange it according to Su Jin's requirements, and also put away the miscellaneous things they bought before, and cleaned the room well.Su Jin and her mother went to buy the utensils in the kitchen and paid for them to be sent back.The most important thing today is to buy people.This mother has never bought either of them, but Liu Shi has always had a wish, that is to buy a few maids for her daughters, she is reluctant to let her daughters' delicate hands be roughed by housework.
