As soon as Jiang Kexin was born, her parents arranged a childhood engagement for her. However, within five days, the boy choked to death while nursing.
At five years old, another engagement w...
Her family had never mentioned having been there, so she had no impression of this custom.
"That's because my family doesn't have money to buy white flour, so at this time of year we usually just eat some dumpling soup as a symbol of our thoughts!"
After Ge Shuzhen finished her explanation, Ke Xin no longer cared about eating noodles. She rubbed her stomach and said aggrievedly, "Mom, if I eat noodles after today, my stomach will really protest!"
Ge Shuzhen smiled and said, "You will continue to eat noodles and white flour buns tomorrow!"
Ke Xin: "...Mom, are you doing this on purpose? If you keep doing this, I'll have to go back to my in-laws' house!"
Speaking of returning to her husband's house, Ge Shuzhen hurriedly looked outside the kitchen. Unfortunately, her mother-in-law was not there. She glared at Kexin and said, "You kid, tomorrow is the day your brother gets married, and the staple food will be steamed buns!"
"It's so hard to stay at home for a few more days, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Stay for a while." Ge Shuzhen was really afraid that Xiaojiu would kick his ass, so she immediately said, "I'll steam rice and fried pork for you for lunch, how about that?"
"Okay, let's eat the crispy pork!"
Ke Xin ran away happily, and Ge Shuzhen smiled and shook her head helplessly.
She can still be pampered at home. If she goes back to her husband's family, who can pamper her as much as she does? But she also knows that after getting married, she will have to go back sooner or later. But she will stay as long as she can, and the child can enjoy the blessing for as long as possible.
Ke Xin ate a small bowl of noodles in the morning. After all, it was to tie her legs so that she could live longer. It would be a shame not to eat it.
After dinner, the whole family went out, which made Ke Xin confused.
"Dad, Mom, what are you doing?"
Jiang Yongtian changed into some old clothes, and Ge Shuzhen also put on some patched clothes. They said with a smile, "Your brother is getting married tomorrow, so let's go over and help him out today."
When Ke Xin heard this, she knew she had to help, but before she could say it out loud, Ge Shuzhen said, "You two don't have to go. I don't need your help. I'll come back at noon and make you some crispy pork."
Ke Xin was very touched when she heard her mother say this. She said, "Just go ahead and do your thing, Mom. I'll make lunch. You can come back and eat it ready!"
Even though my mother is so busy, she still remembers to cook for me. It seems that all mothers in the world are the same, always putting their children first.
After everyone left, Liu Xu and Han Ruyue also returned to the town to see if everything was normal, and also went to the farm to take a look.
For lunch, Ke Xin had roasted goose in an iron pot, stewed fish and spare ribs in an iron pot, and the staple food was date cakes. The rice and staple food came together, but she still didn't get to eat the crispy pork she had been craving for.
Early in the morning on the eighth day of the first lunar month, the village was filled with joy. Jiang You, wearing a bright red wedding dress with a large flower on his chest, sat on horseback, smiling as he took the sedan chair to pick up the bride.
The whole process was just like when Brother Jiang Xin got married, except that this time the bride also brought some dowry. As for what she brought, the Jiang family didn't care, but the people in the village were curious and talked about it in whispers.
Some people said that Hao Yueqing was the village chief of Lingjia Village and her family was not short of money, so she naturally brought a lot of dowry.
But some people also said that these boxes looked light and fluffy, and they thought they might contain some fabrics or something. Others said they might just be some clothes, shoes, socks, etc.
Anyway, there are all kinds of opinions, but most people still think these things are just fabrics or something.
Liu Feiyang pulled Kexin's sleeve and whispered in her ear, "Guess what it is?"
"No matter what it is, it's Hao Chang's gift to his daughter."
This is true, but hanging out with the people in the village, he was also curious about what was in the box, so he secretly thought about using his internal force to overturn the box and see what was inside!
When he was about to attack, Ke Xin grabbed his hand with a threatening look in her eyes: "Don't mess around!"
"I'm just curious..." Liu Feiyang didn't wait for the sentence to finish before changing his tone: "Forget it, I won't watch it!"
Everyone is curious, and she wanted to see it too, but if she turned over the box and found only one set of clothes, not only would the bride be embarrassed, but her uncle's family would also be embarrassed.
If this place was filled with gold, silver, and other treasures, Hao Chang would have publicized it with great fanfare. So, you should not be curious about it.
Brother Jiang You is getting married today, and there is a buffet at home. Whoever comes can eat. The village is lively until the bridal chamber at night.
Liu Feiyang dragged Ke Xin to follow the other brothers to eavesdrop in the corner of the room. They were listening with great interest, but just after they heard the bride call "husband", the window was pushed open.
I don't know if it was because of the alcohol or because the bride was yelling that her face turned red, but she stuck her head out and stared at the red face and scolded with a smile: "It's the middle of the night, hurry home, if you don't leave now I'll throw water on you!"
Jiang Wu was the youngest. He chuckled at Jiang Youdao, "It's different after getting married. You feel more confident when you speak."
This sentence amused everyone, and Jiang Youxiao scolded: "You little monkey, wait and see if I won't punish you."
Being caught eavesdropping drew laughter and scolding, attracting the attention of the elders in the family. Xue Ying saw a group of people gathered together to eavesdrop on his son, and was very amused. He stepped forward to drive them away: "Hurry up and go back to rest. You are disturbing others' happiness. Aren't you afraid that Jiang You will come to you tomorrow to settle the score?"
Jiang Zhong chuckled, "Auntie is right. We won't disturb Youge's bridal chamber tonight. Let's try to let my new sister-in-law give birth to a big fat boy for you as soon as possible."
After saying that, he ran away first, and the people behind him also ran away quickly. Ke Xin was a little embarrassed, so she grabbed Liu Feiyang's hand and left. This was the first time in her life that she eavesdropped in the corner of the bridal chamber, and she was caught red-handed.
The night is long and the moonlight is bright.
In the room, the temperature gradually rose and did not drop. Ke Xin begged for mercy with a nasal voice, while Liu Feiyang, who was working hard, insisted on asking if his work was good, as if he would not give up until Ke Xin answered.
Early in the morning of the ninth day of the first lunar month, the family prepared to start work. If the production of five-spice powder and sausages was delayed for one day, the family would lose one day's profit, so the ninth day of the first lunar month was the day to prepare for work. Originally, the bride did not need to work for three days after getting married, but Hao Yueqing did not pamper herself, but followed Jiang Youye to Jiang Kexin's home.
The little girl becomes a young wife, and the shy look on her face is really beautiful.
Cao Zhaodi and Ye Xia were both experienced people, so they couldn't help but tease her a few times: "Look at the bride, she's so beautiful, so fair and tender. Jiang You is such a lucky guy!"
Ye Xia laughed and agreed: "That's right, Jiang You can read and write, and his new wife can also read and write. The couple can talk and talk to each other, which is great!"
Su Yan didn't say anything else, but she just smiled foolishly at the newly married Hao Yueqing. She said, "Don't worry, my aunt is a very good person and never tortures her daughter-in-law."
Hao Yueqing nodded shyly and replied softly: "I know. I heard that my mother-in-law is a very good person, hardworking and capable. I will work hard to learn how to be a good wife and daughter-in-law in the future."
When Xue Ying heard this, he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
