It's not dawn yet.
Occasionally there are a few dogs barking.
The cocks haven't even crowed yet.
Sheng Juanhua got up early in the morning, and Su Youfu got up even earlier.
Su Youfu got up and lit the fire, first heated a pot of water, and then asked his wife to wash her face and hands.
Su Youfu is short and has a problem with one of his legs, but he is extremely considerate and very good to his wife. Such small things are not worth telling others about. Only he knows how he is doing.
Sheng Juanhua was very happy. From the outside, she was tall and fair-skinned, and her appearance could be considered that of a village beauty. Her brothers were all pursued by girls in the village.
He is tall, with regular features, and looks very much like the upright protagonist in early movies and TV series, with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
Sheng Juanhua has three older brothers. The eldest brother is a doctor and runs a clinic in the village.
The second brother is a fortune teller. His business is better than that of his brother who runs a clinic. He is famous and people from nearby villages and even the city come to him.
The third brother is very strong and has natural strength. He works as an insulation worker outside and earns a lot of money.
I have a younger brother and a younger sister.
My younger brother is in the transport business and makes quite a lot of money. Because he is handsome, he married a very pretty wife. In Xiaoqi's opinion, there are few women around him who are prettier than my aunt-in-law. She just has a kind of beauty. It is hard to tell what the difference is, but when they walk together, I think she is pretty, prettier and more delicate than others.
My younger sister got married and moved to the edge of the city. She is said to be living a good life. Her brother-in-law's family sells clothes.
In short, the Sheng family can be said to be prosperous and well-off.
Although they didn't live in the city, they all had small houses in the village, which were completely different from Su Youfu's house, where the windows were covered with plastic sheets.
The girl getting married today is the daughter of an older family. She is a city dweller and her home is near the highway intersection near Lushan City.
Anyway, if you count on your fingers, the most unlucky person can be said to be Sheng Juanhua, Xiaoqi's mother, who married into Gumula Village.
Because her husband's family is not established, she has to be cautious when returning to her parents' home. Not to mention showing off, she just tries not to make mistakes.
Today is her eldest brother's daughter's wedding, so it's okay for her to go over early to help.
She should have gone there a day or two earlier, but she raised pigs, chickens and ducks at home and no one was looking after them. Sheng Juanhua thought that she didn't have many new sets of clothes, and she couldn't just wear one set of clothes in the summer and then go to meet people.
Anyway, I guess my sister-in-law doesn't expect to see her, so just be polite.
Sheng Juanhua prepared a red envelope of 600 yuan, which should be enough as a gift for her aunt and uncle.
She didn't think of being like Xiaoqi's grandmother, spending all her family savings just to save face. Everyone knows who is poor. If you are poor, you are still poor. Even if you give a red envelope of 2,000 yuan, you are still poor. Others will not look up to you for this.
Besides, 600 is already a lot. Her husband has to make 20 pairs of winnowing baskets, which takes several days of work.
Although Youfu has recently switched to making bamboo baskets and bamboo bags, and the prices are a bit higher, it is all hard-earned money. Sheng Juanhua calculates it very clearly and is unwilling to spend a penny carelessly.
Her brothers and sisters all came from well-off families. Originally, she had thought that Xiaoqi's tuition was not enough, so she would borrow some from them. However, the thought of borrowing money, especially from her brothers and sisters, made her feel inferior and ashamed. Now that her family had enough money, she didn't have to ask for it anymore. Sheng Juanhua felt her chest straighten up, and she looked radiant and very happy.
I got up early in the morning, washed up, heated up the leftovers, and called Xiaoqi to eat.
Unexpectedly, her daughter did not sleep in, but got up to read, which made Sheng Juanhua feel uncomfortable.
I feel that my daughter has been incredibly well-behaved after the college entrance examination.
When it was time for breakfast, I discovered that my daughter's appetite had increased significantly. Last night, I was so excited about the meal that I helped her pick up some food and didn't notice how much she ate. This morning, I discovered that she seemed to eat quite a lot, even more than her father. She ate three bowls of rice, finished the leftovers, and even ate two eggs...
"Isn't it a bit too much to eat? I can't finish the lunch banquet."
"No, I haven't been exercising, so my appetite has increased. You see, my weight hasn't increased, but decreased instead." Xiao Qi explained.
Polish it after dinner.
The family of three all changed into new clothes.
Su Youfu put on the shirt and pants his daughter bought for him. He put on and took off his leather shoes and changed into a pair of Liberation shoes. He was worried that they would be damaged, so he changed into leather shoes when he was about to reach Shangxie Village. He thought that if he hid his shoes on the grass by the roadside, no one would take them.
Xiao Qi: ...
Sheng Juanhua also changed into the new clothes bought by her daughter, but she was reluctant to take off the red leather shoes after putting them on because they were convenient for walking. She did not change shoes like the child's father did. Women still value beauty above all else.
Xiaoqi wore the hip-hop sweatpants he and Teacher Zhou bought together, and a bright pink T-shirt with a baby elephant pattern.
Grandma likes little girls to wear festive clothes.
The fact that Xiaoqi was on TV did not cause such a sensation in Shangxie Village. Sheng Juanhua could not hold her head up at her parents' home on weekdays, so if she called them, people would think something had happened. But she knew she had to go back in a few days, so she didn't tell them. If someone saw it, they would not think that the girl on TV was their niece. It was just that Gumula Village and Shangxie Village were five kilometers apart, and there were many marriages on both sides. If someone went back, they would say a word or two.
After the family of three tidied up a bit, they still looked pretty good. When they went out, the sun had just risen.
When other people in the village saw the family of three leaving the house, they asked where they were going.
I heard that they were going to Shangxie Village to attend the wedding of Sheng Juanhua's niece.
Looking at this family of three, I feel very energetic. Sheng Juanhua looks good normally, but she is always going up the mountain and working in the fields, so she is rarely seen dressing up. It is rare to see her wearing a small sweater with a small jacket on the outside, black pants, red leather shoes, and long legs. Because she has been working, she does not have a belly like other middle-aged women. Her belly is flat, and wearing a sweater requires a high figure. Any slight bulge of fat can be seen. Moreover, Sheng Juanhua has fair skin, so she looks like a city person in this outfit. Some people think she looks like Xie Da Jiao in the rural love story.
Su Youfu was even more amazing. He wore a striped T-shirt with trousers and a belt, looking very professional. He stood there motionless, and you couldn't tell he was limping. He looked many years younger. When you looked at him, you would always think he was almost fifty.
Even though I was wearing a pair of broken shoes, some people still joked: "You are so lucky! Your daughter made money, why didn't you buy her a pair of leather shoes?"
Su Youfu, who was carrying leather shoes in his bag, smiled with a red face, but did not respond as usual when he was ridiculed.
Su Xiaoqi looks like a little girl, wearing a pink T-shirt, tall and thin, with fair skin. The family of three stands together, Sheng Juanhua is pretty, Su Youfu is honest, but this little girl is very eye-catching.
Everyone watched the family walk away and discussed it behind their backs.
"Su Youfu's daughter is truly educated. Her demeanor is more like that of a city dweller than even the city dwellers."
"The Su family is about to make a name for themselves. That woman is incredible."
Even Lao Cheng, who was always proud of his daughter marrying a foreigner, praised him. He had been abroad and his status in Gumula Village was very different. Everyone would listen to what he said.
The sounds of cocks crowing and dogs barking gradually fade away.
The sounds of insects and frogs became more intense.
Xiaoqi and his family walked halfway up the mountain road, which was full of bamboo and fir trees, when they heard the sound of water.
This means that the mountain road ends, and the next road to walk on is the field road, which is closer to Shangxie Village.
Because half of this rice field belongs to Gumula Village and half belongs to Shangxie Village.
There are some small wild fruits on the roadside, such as wild blueberries and wild raspberries, which can be eaten directly after picking them.
Su Youfu knew that his daughter was greedy, so he picked a lot along the way. Thanks to his Liberation shoes, he also climbed up the hills beside the road to pick some of the fruits.
Xiao Qi walked along the way, eating wild fruits, feeling very satisfied, as if he was having a picnic.
Occasionally, I could hear my mother humming a few lines of a tune, and my father singing along.
My father is not good-looking, but he sings very well. He has a good voice and can sing high pitched songs. He sings, laughs, and is sunny all the way.
