As soon as Gu He's marriage was finalized, her mother began to prepare.
These sisters-in-law also need to give something as a gift on their first birthday.
Zhou Suisui thought for a long time and decided to give her a quilt.
Cotton is hard to come by now. Even a family with a large population cannot save enough to make a quilt in a year, as there are only so many cotton coupons each year.
Zhou Suisui’s gift can be said to be very expensive, but she has a good relationship with Gu He, so Zhou Suisui is willing to give her something.
I took out a double quilt from the space. It weighed about six pounds and was very thick.
Zhou Suisui covers himself with a down quilt, which is lighter and warmer.
However, if you are giving it to someone else, it is better to use a cotton quilt, otherwise it is easy for something to go wrong.
Zhou Suisui also picked out a quilt cover from the space. It was a quilt cover with a red background and small white flower patterns. The color was festive and beautiful.
Zhou Suisui doesn't like the popular quilt covers with patterns of mandarin ducks playing in the water and dragons and phoenixes. Her aesthetic taste cannot accept it.
In her impression, it seemed that only her grandmother had used a quilt cover with this pattern.
Zhou Suisui came to Gu's house with a quilt.
"Mom, this is the dowry I gave to Xiaohe. Please keep it for her." Zhou Suisui said.
When Mrs. Gu saw such a big quilt, she asked, "Old Third's, this eldest's quilt is quite expensive, right?"
"It's made of six kilograms of cotton, so it must be thick. As a sister-in-law, I must give it to her when she gets married. Besides, Xiao He and I get along well."
As soon as Zhou Suisui finished speaking, Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Gu came in. (Mrs. Gu is Zheng Lili)
"My third brother's wife is also here, Mom. This is the makeup I gave to Xiaohe." Mrs. Gu took out a pair of pillowcases.
Mrs. Gu also said, "This is what I gave to Xiao He."
Zheng Lili took out a pair of enamel cups.
Mother Gu smiled and said, "Okay, since you sisters-in-law are thinking about Xiao He, Xiao He must have remembered it all, so I will add it all to her dowry."
Gu's mother didn't say what Zhou Suisui gave her, for fear that the other two daughters-in-law would think too much.
The conditions of each family are different, but the things given are more or less the same, and Gu's mother is already very satisfied.
Seeing that she already had the quilt, water cup, and pillowcase, Gu's mother planned to go to the village carpenter Li to make a wooden box and a large wardrobe. Adding thirty yuan for the dowry, she would be almost done.
Gu He already has a job, so she won’t have a hard time living with her husband’s family. At least she can hold her head high.
Her job originally paid her annual salary, and if she continued to pay it back according to the original amount, she would still have a lot left, and she would have paid it off in two years.
Mother Gu went to Carpenter Li's house and said, "Carpenter Li, make me a wooden box and a large wardrobe."
Carpenter Li also knew that the daughter of the Gu family was going to get married. When the Yang family came to visit, the whole village knew about it.
In fact, Gu He is quite popular in the village, and many people are interested in her.
Not to mention that she has a brother who is an officer in the army, she herself only graduated from junior high school, has a job in the county town, and is not bad looking. If you marry her home, you will marry a rich man.
Her brother and sister-in-law are so capable. If there is any problem in her husband's family in the future, her parents' family will have to help.
Even though these villagers have not received much education, they are very cunning and calculating.
As a result, Gu He found a city dweller, and their plan was shattered.
Carpenter Li said, "Okay, don't worry, it will be almost done in three days and I will send it to your home when the time comes."
After Gu's mother left, Carpenter Li's son came out of the house.
"Dad, is Gu He really going to get married?" Carpenter Li's son asked sadly.
He has been secretly in love with Gu He for two years.
Gu He is one of the prettiest girls in the village, with a well-proportioned appearance.
He is also cultured and can read.
Later, I got a job in the county town and had a stable job.
Many young men in the village like Gu He, but now she is getting married.
Carpenter Li probably knew what his son was thinking. "Don't even think about it, kid. She's already getting married. I'll talk to your mother about it and find you a wife."
Carpenter Li's family is not poor. Although private transactions are not allowed now, he earns ten work points a day as a carpenter.
Since their son is old enough to earn work points, their family is not sad.
It's not difficult to find a wife.
"...Dad, all I have in my heart is..."
"I don't care what you think!" Carpenter Li scolded.
"Don't think about things you shouldn't think about. You are the only son of your mother and me. If you don't tell your wife, what else do you want? Do you want to go to heaven?" Carpenter Li was angry at his son's incompetence.
————————————
Although Gu He held the banquet in the city, the Gu family was her mother's family, so they also had to throw candies and set off firecrackers.
Gu's mother also went to the city to buy some candy. Sugar is a precious thing now, and even the cheapest one is rarely eaten by people.
Mother Gu is already very generous.
Gu He had been preparing for her wedding during this period. After the engagement, Yang Cheng took Gu He to the city to buy a set of clothes.
A red shirt and black pants, planned to be worn on the wedding day.
"Xiao He, you look really good in this dress." On the day of getting the marriage certificate, Yang Cheng was almost fascinated by Gu He.
Gu He didn't wear a red shirt today, but a green female military uniform.
This kind of clothes is very popular now, but most people can't get them.
This outfit of Gu He was a wedding gift given to her by Gu Jingheng when he found out in the army that his sister was getting married.
Gu He also tied two braids vertically on both sides of her shoulders.
Yang Cheng also wore a white shirt and black pants, looking quite formal.
The two went to the county town to take photos, and then went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a marriage certificate.
