Chapter 19

After midsummer, it is shallow autumn.On this day, Peach Blossom Village is very lively, because Pomegranate is getting married!

The children of the village gathered around the yard of Shiliu's house early, watching the bustle, the bride, and maybe some delicious food. Of course, the children were very happy.But, Mrs. Lin took out a lot of sunflower seeds from the house and shared them with the children. The children shouted happily: "Pomegranate is going to be a bride, pomegranate is going to be a bride!"

Pomegranate was told by Xi Po in the room that she was about to cry.Just take a bath when you take a bath, but Xi Po wants Pomegranate to sit in the hot tub and soak in it. It is so hot that Pomegranate screams, "Xi Po, this is not a bath, but a pig!"

"Soak for a while to soften the dirt on your body, so it's easy to wash." Xi Po pressed the pomegranate in the bathtub to prevent her from getting up.

After soaking for a while, Xi Po rubbed an old loofah with peeled skin on the pomegranate, up and down, left and right, and the pomegranate begged for mercy, "Xi Po, is it not getting better after rubbing for so long?"

Xi Po was sweating profusely from rubbing, and said while rubbing: "Look, so much dirt has been rubbed off, Brother Feng is going to have sex with you tonight, of course you have to wash it clean."

Xi Po finally put down the old loofah, Pomegranate thought that the tossing was over, but Xi Po rushed out and shouted, "Come on, someone, change a basin of clean bath water!"

After washing in another basin of water, the pomegranate can finally get up.She put on a red wedding dress, red socks and wedding shoes, and then sat cleanly in front of an old bronze mirror the size of a palm.

Xi Po was thinking about how to dress up the pomegranate, when both pear blossom and peony came in.Lihua sees that Shiliu is still bloated in her wedding dress, and she can't help laughing.But Shaoyao lifted up the corner of Pomegranate's skirt enviously, looked at the colors embroidered on it, and said, "These flowers and birds are so beautifully embroidered, and all of them are made of high-quality embroidery threads. Oh, there are also embroidered flowers on the belt." With rich peony flowers, who made this wedding dress?"

Shi Liu didn't hide it well, and replied: "It was sent by Qian's family, isn't the wedding dress prepared by the man's family?"

Shaoyao had to sigh in her heart, she was still married for less than half a year, but the man's family had already asked someone to tell her that her wedding dress should be prepared by her mother's family. Afraid that the flowers she embroidered would not suit her wishes, she always found various reasons.But with Pomegranate's body shape, didn't Qian Feng's family prepare well-fitting and beautiful wedding clothes?People are willing to spend this kind of thought and have this intention.

As long as you have this intention and are willing to put in the effort, how can it not fit or look good?

After Shaoyao said this, Lihua realized that Pomegranate's wedding dress was indeed very finely made. At this time, Xipo took out the jewelry. In addition to the silver earrings and silver hairpins prepared by Pomegranate's own family, she also took out the money sent by Qian's family. silver collar and silver bracelet.

Lihua suddenly regretted that she did not agree to the Qian family's marriage at the beginning, and let Shiliu take advantage of this great deal, because she found that the silver collar sent by the Qian family was really dazzling, thick enough, and delicate enough, with peonies carved on it. , engraved with the words "Hundred Years of Love".

The silver bracelet was also made according to Pomegranate's wrist, and it was the first time they had seen such a thick bracelet.Lihua couldn't help muttering in her heart, did the Qian family go bankrupt just to marry a daughter-in-law?
Xi Po combed the bride's hair for Pomegranate, and then put on the jewelry one by one.Pomegranate was scalded by the hot water just now, her round face was flushed, and she was wearing a red wedding dress, and now she put on four silver ornaments, beaming with joy.No matter how unattractive everyone thinks pomegranates are, at this time they have to admit that pomegranates are quite pleasing in appearance.

Xi Po saw that Pomegranate's face was red enough, so she didn't need to put on any rouge. Girls in the countryside rarely smear their faces when they get married, unlike people in the city who are willing to buy makeup for girls.Rural girls have to rely on some things that are readily available to dress up. Xi Po ran to the kitchen and took a half-burned stick from the stove and put it in a cool place.

After a while, Xi Po took out the blackened end of the stick to draw an eyebrow on the pomegranate, and then put a red hipa on the pomegranate, and the bride's makeup was ready.

Lihua and Shaoyao sat in the house and talked with Pomegranate, the yard was already full of excitement.Father Tian and Shi Yazi were busy carrying the dowry to the middle of the yard, and then pasted red happy characters one by one. The surrounding villagers said that Father Tian was willing to spend money on marrying a daughter, and they prepared such a dowry. They were envious Yes, some are jealous, and some are disdainful, thinking that marrying a daughter with so much dowry will make the pomegranate a veritable loser.

As soon as the two sons of Shiliu's uncle's family came, Father Tian invited them to go to the pigpen to catch piglets together.Lin ran out after hearing that, "Old man, are you really planning to accompany your daughter with piggy?"

Father Tian said: "Of course, you have to accompany both of you. For weddings, you have to be in pairs."

Lin is not reluctant to part with the two piglets, but worried that the piggies are screaming and not very festive.Father Tian thought of this a long time ago, and he has a good idea.He found a load of baskets, put a piglet in each basket, and then put a bunch of young radishes in each basket.The piglets are happy to eat, how can they be willing to bark.

In order to celebrate, Father Tian took out a red string and tied each of the piggy's legs, and the piggy accepted it obediently, without making a fuss at all.Everyone said that Daddy Tian is really amazing, the first one in Yinshan Town!

In the middle of the afternoon, the wedding banquet began. The villagers sat around the table, drank the wedding wine, ate the wedding vegetables, and gulped down the dates.

I don't know who shouted, "The groom is here riding a bull! Here are the four-carrying sedan chairs!"
