He got off the car at the intersection of the department store, took Chen Ou past the department store, and continued on his way.

Seeing that she was anxious, Ma Zhao didn't dare to ask too much, so he could only keep it to himself. It was not until he arrived at the street of self-employed people and saw the fashionable clothes that he understood why she passed by the department store but did not go in.

Zhou Xiang took Chen Ou to the children's clothing store owner and said, "Boss, please take my brother to buy bridal and groom's suits. You must help me bargain down the prices. You can't rip us off just because you're in the same business."

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll take care of it!"

He then took Ma Zhao to the alley next to the Experimental School and found a shop that specialized in selling festive items. This was an old shop. During the ten years when it was closed, people still came knocking on the door to buy things.

Zhou Xiang pointed and immediately the shop owner brought out the washbasin, footbasin, washboard, spittoon, soap box, mosquito net, thermos, tea set, red rope, washbasin stand and a red box that was essential for a girl's home.

Ma Zhao looked at the series of red and felt dizzy. There was such a store in the county town?

After paying the bill, he asked Ma Zhao to call the donkey cart and go back quickly.

All the things were unloaded and quickly moved into the house, and Ma Zhao was instructed to put everything back in its place.

Finally, hang the mosquito net. After the big red mosquito net is hung up, the house immediately looks very different.

Seeing this change, Ma Zhao did not complain that Zhou Xiang was making him run around in circles.

Zhong Xiong came back, and the two of them were instructed to inflate and tie balloons. Zhou Xiang was about to cut out the Chinese character for "happiness" (wedding). Oops! He forgot to buy a pair of scissors.

Ma Zhao was sent to buy scissors again. Fortunately, Zhou Xiang lent him a bicycle out of friendship.

Zhou Xiang tied a red string to the scissors and started cutting out wedding characters. In school, all the female students knew how to cut wedding characters and five-pointed stars.

Colorful balloons were tied together with a long red rope, which contained scraps of red paper that Zhou Xiang had cut. Nails were nailed to the four corners of the roof, and a string of balloons was hung on each corner. The strings were tied together in the middle, and a few more were hung in the air.

"Okay, the atmosphere is out, let's think about how powerful the girl is."

Zhou wanted to put away the cut wedding characters and make some paste to paste them tomorrow.

Then, he began to chat with Zhong Xiong and Ma Zhao about the bridal chamber games in his previous life.

Growing old together, eating love fruit, squeezing balloons, drinking wedding wine, well, anything else is not suitable for today's era.

Zhong Xiong and Ma Zhao's eyes sparkled. "Great! These games are great! Punching balloons is even more exciting."

When Chen Ou came back, Zhou Xiang checked the clothes, asked the price, and nodded. "Yeah! It's okay. I didn't make much money from you."

Zhong Xiong and Ma Zhao looked at Chen Ou secretly, laughing as they watched.

Chen Ou was puzzled. "Why are you two looking at me like that?"

"No, we're just a little envious of you getting a promotion tomorrow."

After everything here was ready, the three of them went to the rental house.

Zhou Xiang returned to his own yard.

Tang Min saw her and asked, "Are you here for the wedding?"

Zhou Xiang nodded, "Yes! You are the matchmaker, so you have to be there tomorrow!"

"I, I, it depends on the situation!"

Zhou Xiang nodded and opened the door to her own yard. Why should women suffer as women? They all went through life as daughters-in-law!

The next day, when Zhou went to the rental house, the wedding procession had already left, and it was still the same group of people from the day before.

Five tables were prepared for the banquet, and a mobile chef from Guanjia Village was invited, along with three helpers.

There were two square tables in the middle hall, one in the new room in the east, and two in the yard. The west room was locked, and there must be barbecue tools inside.

All the utensils needed for the banquet were brought by the chef. There were no round tabletops at that time, and most of them were square tables that could seat eight people.

Zhou Xiang nodded and said, "That's right. Two tables for the bride, with his family and the six-member gang, plus the young men from Guanjia Village and the chef, that would be just right."

Who knew that there would be more than 20 people coming to see the bride off, including the bride's parents.

Zhou Xiang felt that he had gained some experience. He had never seen parents sending their children off for marriage, and even without any dowry.

After coming in, he immediately occupied three tables. After securing his seats, he started looking around.

This yard is about the same size as the Water Conservancy Bureau, and also has three main rooms and a kitchen.

The bride, wearing old clothes that had been washed so much that they looked white, was sent into the east room.

Her parents, brothers and cousins ​​sat at the table in the east room.

Zhou Xiang wanted to kick all these people out. The table in the bride's room should be occupied by the good sisters who came to send the bride off. What did it mean for a group of grown men and old women to sit in the bridal chamber?

Fortunately, this is not a real new house, otherwise it would be really secluded.

Zhou Xiang saw that although Tang Mei had a blank expression on her face, her clenched fists revealed her mood.

Zhou Xiang sat down beside the bed, held her hand, and signaled her to relax.

"Hey~ What are you doing sitting on the new bed, little girl? Who are you going to blame if you give birth to a girl?"

The old woman with dark skin and wrinkled face shouted shrilly.

Zhou wanted to know if this was Tang Mei's aunt, and the somewhat cowardly old woman next to her was Tang Mei's mother.

"My brother likes girls, so he asked me to sit on this bed for a while."

The old woman was about to explode, but was held down by the bride's mother. She rolled her eyes and asked, "How many brothers do you have? Are they all married? Does this house belong to your brother?"

Zhou Xiang smiled sweetly, "I have a brother who is today's groom, but I have a lot of brothers-in-law. This house is rented. My family can no longer live in the town, so I rented a yard here to make do. I will have to go back and squeeze in later."

The old woman curled her lips. She had thought that she could come along today to inquire about the situation and find a husband for her daughter who could afford 400 yuan!

It seems that this family is also poor. Look at the shabby plaid cloth that the sister-in-law is wearing. I wonder where she got the four hundred yuan from!

Woolen check: Am I unfashionable?

A man who had been out observing came in. Seeing that Zhou Xiang was willing to answer every question, he asked, "Why is the door to the west room locked?"

"Oh! Those are the landlord's belongings. When he rented the house to us, he said he would only rent two rooms and a pot room."

The man sat down dejectedly. He had checked everything. There was only a bed in this room, and there was nothing in the main room except a table.

Suddenly he looked up and asked Zhou Xiang, "Are you and your brother the only ones living here?"

"Yeah! We'll just rent it for a month."

"How much is it per month?"

"Three dollars! It's too expensive, and the landlord still doesn't want to rent it. He said that if it weren't for the fact that he just hasn't used it for the past two months, he wouldn't rent it out!"

"Three dollars is a bit expensive. It's not worth it for two people to stay here. How about we stay here for a while?"

Zhou Xiang held down Tang Mei's fist tightly and smiled even brighter. "Excuse me, who are you?"

"I'm Brother Tang Mei."

"Does my sister-in-law have an older brother? I've never heard of that! I only heard that my sister-in-law has cut ties with her family. Does she also have older brother parents?"
