Farmhouse with a little field

Chapter 565
"Mom, that's not what I mean. How can I not come back? Then I will definitely run home every day. If you think I'm annoying, I have to come back." Han Duyue felt that she seemed to be very fragile at this moment, maybe It was she who put a shackle on herself, making her feel that after she got married, she couldn't do whatever she wanted.

This kind of thinking should be related to the current separation and the approaching wedding date. Could this be the legendary marriage phobia?
Han Duyue shook her head amusedly, and temporarily put this thought behind her. Life has always been beautiful, and she shouldn't make her life gray because of these unwarranted emotions.

"It's really possible. I might really find you annoying and don't want you to come back." Han Qingmei pulled Han Duyue back into the room, and said seriously, "And I'm afraid you don't have time to continue to be sad right now. , because we don't have much time."

Han Duyue was a little dumbfounded: "Mother, do we need to prepare anything else? Didn't you say before that my dowry has already been prepared?"

Han Duyue's dowry began to be prepared in the year when the Han family's family situation began to improve. There was ample time and sufficient preparation.

Not to mention the standard of the countryside, even compared with the young ladies of those rich families in the prefectures, this dowry is already very rich. After all, with Li Hao in charge, the standard of this dowry is naturally not bad.

Regardless of the type, quantity, or quality of the dowry, there is nothing wrong with it, from the thousand-work bed, the front table, the dressing table, the red cabinet, the bedside cabinet, etc., to the painting table, piano table, etc. , Eight Immortals tables, armchairs and other outhouses, as well as gold and silver jewelry, vases, sheets and quilts, and even pots, pans and spoons seem to have a full set.

Of course, the most important thing is the land deed, land deed, and thick bank notes. Although these occupy a small area, they are considered the most valuable things.

Han Duyue felt warm and moved by Han Qingmei and Li Hao's intentions for all kinds of dowry, but also felt very interesting and sacred. This raised dowry embodies the wisdom and love of the ancients. Children's love?
"Did you forget what mother told you before, that you should make the wedding gown yourself, and you should also embroider the pattern on the handkerchief, quilt, and bed sheet by yourself," Han Qingmei pulled Han Duyue sat down among a pile of needlework and cloth, and said earnestly, "Although mother can help you do some, but you always have to do it yourself, why are you still sitting stupidly? Do it quickly."

Han Qingmei had talked about this with Han Duyue before, but she interrupted her with an excuse, and then she was busy running around again, so Han Qingmei didn't mention it again.

For the next two months, Han Duyue will definitely stay at home and get married. First, Han Qingmei is afraid that if she has nothing to do, she will feel bored and tend to think too much; It would be the most auspicious thing for Han Duyue to do it by himself, so he brought up this matter again.

Han Duyue felt like crying when she heard it. Is she really not interested in doing embroidery?But right now she really couldn't find any suitable excuses, so she could only pick up the needle and thread with tears in her eyes.

It was almost the end of the new year, and Han Duyue not only had to work as a maid for her own marriage, but also helped prepare the new year's goods.

According to the customs here, this will be Han Duyue's last year in the Han family. Han Qingmei naturally wants her daughter to have a good year, so she started to get busy as soon as Song Ning left.

On the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, Xiaonian also came home early, and the family had a happy reunion dinner together. Han Duyue felt that life was nothing more than a happy life.

The 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month is a small year, and there is a custom of offering sacrifices to stoves, and every household is really busy.

The whole family got up early that day, preparing to make steamed buns, fried fruits, and steamed dim sum. Han Duyue also actively helped.

What she makes are steamed buns, kneading the dough, fermenting, rolling out the skin, adding the stuffing, and putting it in a basket, and then it’s ready to eat.

Just when Han Duyue was busy with flour all over her hands, there was a sudden movement outside. She poked her head and saw that it was shopkeeper Li.

Han Duyue hadn't seen the shopkeeper Li for a long time, but now he felt very kind when he saw him, and hurriedly got up to greet him: "It turns out that Uncle Li is here, please come in and sit down."

Li Kaishi has always regarded Han Duyue as a junior of his own family, and has been to Han's house several times before, so he is not restrained: "Hey, Xiaoyue is making buns, so I am lucky today."

"I'm afraid your uncle thinks my cooking is not delicious." When guests came to the house, Han Duyue put down his work and got up to wash his hands.

Li Kaishi shook his head again and again, and said with a smile: "It's not that I haven't tasted Xiaoyue's craftsmanship, how could I dislike it? I'm afraid you might dislike me for eating too much."

"How come, it's my honor that Uncle Li likes to eat what I make." Han Duyue said with a smile.

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and after the main room sat down, shopkeeper Li explained his intentions: "It stands to reason that today is a young year, and I shouldn't have come to bother you, but I just received a letter suddenly earlier, saying it was an explanation. I must send it over today and hand it over to Xiaoyue in person, so I had no choice but to make this trip."

When she heard that the letter was for herself, Han Duyue's eyes lit up: "Is it Song Ning's letter?"

"Xiaoyue is really smart, she guessed right right away." Shopkeeper Li smiled, took out an envelope from his pocket, and handed it to Han Duyue.

Han Duyue didn't care that shopkeeper Li was still sitting opposite, so she took the envelope and opened it, and began to read the contents inside.

The content of the letter is actually very simple, that is, he has arrived in Fucheng, so that Han Duyue does not have to worry, and also said that the weather is getting colder, so she should take care of her body.

It's just that there is a passage at the end of the letter that made Han Duyue almost cry when he read it, it said: "I thought that I thought of you once a day would be enough, but now, I'm afraid it's more than a thousand times, I only wish to meet you soon and never be separated again.”

Shopkeeper Li sat drinking tea and was not in a hurry. Apart from delivering this letter today, he had another thing to do.

Han Duyue sniffed, trying to calm down, put the letter away, and thanked shopkeeper Li with a smile: "Thank you, Uncle Li, for making this special trip. I am very happy to see this letter. I will return it later." Please ask Uncle Li to wait a little longer and bring me a reply letter."

"It's natural," Shopkeeper Li put down his teacup, looked at Han Duyue and said, "Actually, I came here today, and I have another thing I want to talk to Xiaoyue."

Han Duyue straightened his attitude and asked, "I don't know what Uncle Li is going to say?"

"The wedding date of Xiaoyue and son will be on the second day of February next year, right?" Shopkeeper Li asked without answering.

Han Duyue nodded without feeling embarrassed: "That's right. Don't forget to come and have a wedding wine with Uncle Li when the time comes."

"Such an important thing, of course we can't forget it," Shopkeeper Li nodded, and took out a box from his arms with a smile, "I don't know what you think, Xiaoyue, but I do treat you like my own niece. Now that you are getting married, I, as an uncle, can't say nothing, this is a piece of high-quality donkey-hide gelatin I bought from Doctor Tian, ​​just to give you a boost."

Han Duyue didn't feel shy before, but now when he heard shopkeeper Li say "replenish the body", he felt a little embarrassed.

"By the way, Doctor Tian said that you once helped him a lot, so he only charged me half of the money, and the other half is a thank you gift for you." Shopkeeper Li put the box on the table and added .

Even though he said so, Doctor Tian was clearly giving Han Duyue a congratulatory gift in disguise.

It's just that Han Duyue really doesn't feel that she has much kindness to Dr. Tian. When she mentioned the medicinal diet to Dr. Tian, ​​it was just to benefit herself.

And ever since Han Qingmei gave birth to Eggy, both mother and son have relied on Doctor Tian to help them take care of their bodies, so if it is true that they are kind, Han Duyue feels that Doctor Tian is kind to their Han family.

Of course, the most important thing is that in this era, things like donkey-hide gelatin are very valuable, especially top-quality donkey-hide gelatin, which are basically sent to the palace as tributes, and ordinary people can't buy it even if they have money. .

"Uncle Li, this gift is too expensive, I really can't accept it." Han Duyue looked at the box with some embarrassment, and then looked at shopkeeper Li.

Shopkeeper Li smiled and said: "What is Xiaoyue talking about? Since I brought this gift, there is absolutely no reason to take it back, and even if I do take it back, I can't take it back Get the money back from Doctor Tian. Besides, there is still half of Doctor Tian’s money in this donkey-hide gelatin. If you don’t want to take his things, you can tell him personally. I can’t make the decision for him.”

This made Han Duyue speechless, she couldn't cut the donkey-hide gelatin in half and send half of it back to Doctor Tian, ​​could she?
"Xiaoyue, you are a very smart child, why are you so coy at this time?" Shopkeeper Li looked at Han Duyue, knocked on the table and said, "Whether this gift is light or heavy, it just represents your heart. If I take this thing back, won’t I refute my intentions?”

After hearing this, Han Duyue realized that her actions were very inappropriate. Although the gift was indeed expensive, it did represent shopkeeper Li's wishes, and her words just now hurt others.

Shopkeeper Li was her first collaborator after she came to this world, and she has been cooperating with her ever since, but the relationship between them is not just about mutual benefit. Just as Shopkeeper Li has treated her as a junior, she It is also true that shopkeeper Li is regarded as an uncle.

After so many years of friendship and affection, Han Duyue really shouldn't have said the polite and distant words just now.

Realizing this, Han Duyue couldn't help but raised his hand and patted himself on the head: "I was thinking about it, please don't mind Uncle Li. Then I will accept this gift, thank you Uncle Li, if Uncle Li is seeing Dr. Tian, ​​please also thank him on my behalf."
