peasant woman headed home

Chapter 31

After one night, the atmosphere at home was decidedly the same as before. After returning to the space, Hongxiu felt refreshed after taking a bath. According to Li's mother's request, she stopped copying books and told Li Ji to take the last few books with her when she went to town. .Since Hongxiu is really free, Li's mother asked Hongxiu to send the cut wild meat to several nearby houses with better relationships.Of course, she sent it to Wang's natal family, and brought her nephew with her. Li Ji went to Hongxiu's future in-law's house, and they were going to get married soon, so it was not easy for Hongxiu to go there.

When Hongxiu delivered the things to their home, their eyes narrowed into slits with smiles. They entertained Hongxiu cheerfully, praised Hongxiu for being sensible and reasonable, and naturally they did not forget to say that old man Li is as handsome as before, very brave .Hearing the compliment, Hongxiu smiled, of course, sat for a while, declined the invitation to stay for dinner, and went home for lunch.

"Xiu'er, come and eat quickly. Your eldest brother and sister-in-law have all gone to the in-laws' place. Today, it's just our mother and I. I specially cooked your favorite braised pork. It's delicious. Come and eat it." Li When the mother heard the sound of Hongxiu coming back, she wiped her hands with her apron and called into the yard. "Go and call your niece too, Lizheng left your father for dinner, so there's no need to call."

"Hey" Hongxiu responded, and went in to look for Li Xiang.

After lunch, Mother Li asked Sister Xiang to eat some fruit to sleep, but called Hongxiu into the room.Let her sit by the bed, turn around and move out a few bricks on the wall inside the bed, and she sees a wooden box.Mother Li opened the wooden box, and there was a large banknote in it, and the rest were broken silver.Hongxiu thought about it, there are so many ways for ordinary people to hide things. A while ago, I accidentally saw my father secretly digging holes in the field next to the toilet at home to count copper coins...

Mrs. Li counted the broken silver in the box, counted 30 taels in total, and said, "Xiu'er, these are some money from the box for you to fill up. Our family has not yet separated. Your eldest brother and second brother will arrive At that time, each person was divided into 30 taels." He took out another 10 taels, "This is the money from your sewing work these years, and your mother will keep it for you. In the future, when you marry there, don't tell them all about it. Ah, if you have anything to do, come back and tell your mother, mother is in charge of you, don’t wrong yourself when you eat and drink, if you have no money to spend, mother still has private money..." It turns out that everyone has the habit of hiding private money what……

"Mother, isn't there still ten days to go? Why did you say this so early? Could it be that mother doesn't want me, so just throw me out now~" Hongxiu hugged Li's mother's arm, singing and sighing three times, her voice soft Moist, very sweet.

Li's mother said these words with a crying sound, but she was amused by Hongxiu, "You child, how can mother be willing, mother's little girl, she will be a daughter-in-law in ten days, and her parents will hold it in the palm of her hand." My Jiaojiao is also going to serve her son... Life must be good, my Xiuer is a blessed person, life must be prosperous."

"Mom, I'm sure I'll live well. Don't worry, you and Dad. I'll come back often and annoy you every day."

"Hey, brat, don't mess around."

"Mom, why do you dislike me again? Just now you said you were going back to your mother's house..."

"soy Mujer……"

After returning from Li's mother, Hongxiu was very touched by the money in her hand. How could anyone in the village give so much money to a married daughter? Treating him as a son is like dividing the family in advance and getting money from the division.The old grass that I gave to Father Li last time should be very valuable, and the century-old ginseng, even though I didn’t sell the pork but made favors and pickled it for myself, should be enough for ordinary people to chew for a long time, Hongxiu felt relieved.Anyway, everyone wants to have a prosperous home.

Time passed by in a hurry, and soon it was the day before the wedding.The family has been very busy these days, even Li Ji took a few days off work to come to Zhang Luohong to embroider the wedding.

The day before the wedding, the Li family also invited relatives and friends to a banquet.Early in the morning, Li Zhong and the others carried the dowry to the yard. There were 12 dowries in total, which blinded the relatives and friends who came to watch the ceremony. There were only 18 dowry sets for the rich ladies in the town to get married.Some of the older ones and those who are close to each other have stepped forward to add pretense, which is quite intended to compare with each other.Li's mother also invited a few close neighbors' wives to help with the cooking, while Li Zhong and Li Ji were busy entertaining relatives who came.People were coming and going, it was very lively, and several children shuttled among them, saying auspicious words and asking for sweets.The members of the Li family were also generous, everyone grabbed a big handful, the children laughed more happily, and talked more slipperily.

"Erniu, this is too expensive for you. A girl, if you buy it so well, then you will marry the second daughter-in-law after a while and still not empty out the house." This is Li Daniu, the eldest brother of Li's father. When we separated, we moved into town, opened a grocery store, and made a good living.

"Brother, what kind of girl is it? It's not surprising that you have more daughters. I only have such a daughter, and you are only such a niece." Father Li was not convinced.

"Hey, I haven't said anything yet, so you are stubborn with me. I just want you to level the scales. I also know that you feel sorry for your daughter. Are you afraid that your daughter-in-law will feel uncomfortable? We are all old Now, Xiu’er has to rely on her brother’s backing, and treat her like a donkey’s liver and lungs..." Li Daniu was not happy anymore, he wanted to mention something to his brother, but he was misunderstood, and he loved that sensible niece very much.

"They must be nice to Xiu'er, hehe, the food still can't stop you from talking." Li's father was upset, ignored him, and went directly to entertain other people, throwing Li Dan on his back in a rage.Li's mother smiled apologetically at Li Daniu's daughter-in-law, Li Ping. Li Ping said that she would rest assured to entertain other people, and grabbed Li Daniu's sleeve, "I said what is the name of the happy day and the second brother, he loves Xiuer and Like a treasure, how can you not know that you are his big brother? Xiu'er will get married tomorrow, and he is not at ease in his heart, so you just criticize, how can it make you look good."

"Fuck off, I'm doing it for his own good." Li Daniu groaned, but it stopped.

This little episode is over, the day is lively and lively, everyone except the close relatives such as Li Daniu's family who doesn't live in a bit stinky face, everyone in the village has gone back one after another, and everyone is praising the Li family's grandeur , The amount of food is not sufficient, and the understanding of the Li family's love for their daughter has deepened.
