An old man in the village found out about Qian Feng's search for Canzi. He walked past Qian Feng, stroked his white beard and teased, "No wonder your name is Qian Feng. This name is really appropriate for the occasion. I will call you Qian Feng in the future." The family members don't call you Feng'er, just call you crazy."

Qian Feng was angry when he heard this, and stepped forward to ask, "Hey, you old man, how did I offend you? Is there such a lunatic who is eager for money like me?"

The old man saw that he spoke in an arrogant tone, showing no respect for the elders at all, and was really afraid of offending him forever, so he hurried away and said as he walked: "Okay, okay, I offended, I can't afford to offend, so I can hide, right? "

The old man disappeared in a blink of an eye.Qian Feng was furious, is he so scary, why does the old man who has lived all his life run away from him like a plague god?

If you don't get it, you can buy it with money, and a piece of silkworms on a large papyrus costs two pennies.

In fact, there are not many children who raise silkworms and play. He took the two children for more than ten days and searched for more than a dozen villages. Finally, he bought ten silkworms with large papyrus. clean.

But looking at these densely packed silkworms, he was still a little happy, and hid them secretly. When the silkworms came out, he began to busy himself with his big business.

His parents and elder brother and sister-in-law all know about these things about him. With Song Qiu and Sui Er, two children who can't keep their mouths open, they really can't hide it for long.It's just that everyone doesn't have the energy to take care of him now. As long as he cooks the food, the cow is not hungry or thirsty, and the two children are watching, this is already Amitabha, and they are very lucky.

Seeing that the day of getting married is getting closer and closer, the Tian family is rushing to prepare the dowry. Fortunately, the peanuts in the field have been collected in a hurry, and the sesame seeds will take more than a month to harvest. Lin is free to help at home.

The family also invited a carpenter, because there is no need to make dowry, those are prepared by the man's family, but some dowry small items are indispensable, such as dowry box, wooden basin for washing face and feet, Bucket, spring stool, each of these must be a pair.

Lin and Shiliu sat by the old well together, enjoying the cool and doing needlework.Taking advantage of Lihua and Shaoyao's absence at this moment, Mrs. Lin said, "Pomegranate, the Qian family said that they would invite four sedan chairs to welcome the bride. The family has to give enough money for the dowry to save face. Our family has prepared some small household items, jewelry, wedding shoes and quilts made by our mother and daughter. Your father also said that we need to prepare two loads of grain, sugar, meat, Eight catties each, but why does it sound like it’s still less, what do you think we can add to our family?”

Lin stroked her forehead and imagined the scene of welcoming the bride.Someone in front was shaking his head and tail happily, blowing suona and beating gongs and drums, followed by Shiliu sitting in a sedan chair laughing and laughing silly, next to him was Qian Feng riding on the back of a bull to show off his power, and behind him were several people carrying several Carry the dowry.

Behind them were two people carrying a piglet in disgust. The piglet screamed and screamed, following the rhythm of the suona and gongs and drums at the front of the welcoming team. It was really... great.
