"Would you like to have bean flour cakes tonight?" Tian Tian also washed her hands and went to help.
"We're not working so late at night, why should we eat bean flour cakes? We can just eat some bean flour dumplings!" said Chen Guihua.
"Tiantian! Go outside and pick some beans for me! I'll use them to make bean noodles dumplings later!" said Lin Meiyu.
"Okay!" Tian Tian turned around and shouted outside, asking Tian Baobao and the other two to pick some beans.
The bean flour dumplings are cut into thick and short strips and cooked in a pot. Whether it is used to make dumpling soup or to stir-fry or mix them, the taste is very good and the taste is very different from that made with white flour.
Tian Tian likes to eat a lot.
Early the next morning, all the members of the Tian family got up except Tian Baobao and Tian Zhuo.
Today is the day that Tian Lili is getting married, and all the people from the Tian family will go to see her off.
Tian Tian took out her best dress and put it on. The pants were a little short, revealing her ankles. The shoulders were also a little tight. Tian Tian didn't dare to stretch her arms forward for fear of stretching her shoulders.
She looked down at her chest, which was already rising and falling slightly.
People nowadays don’t have the habit of wearing vests, and clothes are thin in summer, so nipples can be easily noticed.
Tian Tian used her increasingly skilled sewing skills to make herself a small vest last night. She cut a pure cotton short-sleeved shirt into the shape of a vest, then strung it with rubber bands and sewed it to the edge of the vest, making a simple small vest.
Tian Tian put on her clothes and went to the kitchen to get some water to wash her face. When Mrs. Tian saw her, she said, "I have made your clothes for you. Try them on to see if there is anything that doesn't fit. I can make some changes for you. There is still time!"
"Made so quickly?" Tian Tian was surprised. She ran into the house and saw a set of clothes on the kang. It was made of the cloth that Old Lady Tian showed her yesterday.
"It's just making a set of clothes. I can do it with my eyes closed. What's so difficult about it!" Old Mrs. Tian said disdainfully.
There is no particular style in their clothes, and they are all the same in the whole village. Old Mrs. Tian has been making clothes for so many years that she has memorized the steps by heart. For her, making a set of clothes is just a matter of sewing a few stitches, and she doesn't have to think about it at all.
Old Mrs. Tian looked at Tian Tian happily measuring the clothes and said, "Try the clothes on. If there are any parts that don't fit, I can make some changes. Otherwise, you won't be able to send Tian Lili off in time."
After hearing this, Tian Tian quickly changed her clothes. She wore a cross-bar vest over her vest, not afraid that Old Lady Tian would find out that she had made the vest herself.
After Tian Tian put on her clothes, she tugged at the corner of her clothes, pulled her sleeves, and looked down at her trouser legs. They fit her perfectly.
"Milk!" Tian Tian turned around happily, "Do you think it looks good?"
"It looks good!" Old Mrs. Tian reached out and patted Tian Tian's clothes. "I specially helped you to fold the cuffs and trouser legs a few times. If you grow taller, you can let the trouser legs come out a little more."
The cuffs and trouser legs are sewn several times upwards. If you grow taller and the clothes are no longer large enough, you can cut the threads with scissors and wear them for a few more years.
Tian Tian was very happy after changing into new clothes. After dinner, she followed Tian Lisong and others to Tian Lili's house.
Tian Lili's family had already made preparations. All the dowry items had been packed and were ready to go with Tian Lili.
Tian Tian went into the room to see Tian Lili. There was a group of people in Tian Lili's room, helping her put on makeup.
This is the first time Tian Tian has seen someone wearing makeup since she came here.
But this time no one used liquid foundation. They all used simple things like powder to apply on Tian Lili's face, and then painted thick eyebrows and red cheeks.
Although it looks heavy, it is quite harmonious on Tian Li's face and not abrupt.
In addition, Tian Lili has a round face and looks very festive when she smiles, so this makeup makes Tian Lili look even better.
"Sister Lili, you are so beautiful!" Tian Tian praised.
This praise for Tian Tian is sincere. People at this time may not be as refined as they will be in the future, but they have a unique, simple beauty that is full of vitality.
Especially when Tian Lili encountered another happy event, her whole body seemed to be radiating light.
She was wearing a military green suit, two thick black braids, a red hairband, and a PLA hat. She looked festive and energetic.
She was wearing a watch, which was a gift from the man to Tian Lili. It wasn't a big brand like Plum Blossom, but I heard it cost a lot of money.
Although the emphasis is now on three turns and one ring, most rural families cannot afford it. The better-off ones can afford the middle one, but ordinary families may not be able to afford either. Giving 50 yuan as a betrothal gift is already very good.
"This is the new bride! How can she not be beautiful! Once Tian Tian put on the clothes she wore for her wedding and put on this little makeup, no matter how happy she was, you could still look so beautiful!" said the aunt who came over to help with the makeup, smiling.
"Tiantian, would you like to help your sister Lili to get married later?" the aunt from the Tian family joked.
This wedding send-off is similar to being a bridesmaid, just carrying Tian Lili's wedding basin and sending her to the groom's side.
All of this had been arranged in advance and handed over to the man's side. Tian Tian knew nothing about this, including how to organize the wedding. She even helped others carry the basins, which only caused trouble for others.
"It's okay for me to go with Sister Lili to take a look, but this makes me give her leave and cause trouble for her without knowing anything. I feel embarrassed! Besides, I'm still young." Tian Tian immediately refused.
"Well, you can go with everyone to the man's place for a meal later. When you come back, you can get some wedding candy and snacks. It seems that Tiantian is still a child!"
All the aunts and sisters-in-law in the room burst into laughter.
Tian Tian curled her lips and sneaked out.
There were only two girls in the room, her and Tian Lili. Tian Lili was a newlywed today and she couldn't be teased. Everyone was staring at her.
Tian Tian strolled in the yard for a while. People were coming in and out of the yard, and everyone was in high spirits.
The people in this yard are all relatives of the Tian family. Most of them know Tian Tian. They say a few words to her when they see her, but Tian Tian cannot recognize all of these people.
She could still joke with her acquaintances, but when she met a stranger like this, she became like a quail, with social phobia set in, and quickly slipped out of the yard.
I squatted under the cherry tree outside the courtyard wall, watching them work while eating cherries.
Fortunately, everyone was busy, and Tian Tian was squatting behind the cherry tree and was not conspicuous, so no one noticed her.
Tian Tian squatted for a while before she saw a little kid running down the road, shouting, "Here comes the groom! The groom is coming to pick up the bride!"
Hearing the noise, Tian Tian quickly stood up from under the cherry tree, pounded her legs which were numb from squatting, and stretched her neck to look towards the end of the road.
There was a noisy voice coming from the yard behind him, "Hurry, hurry, hurry! The groom is here! Is Lili ready?"
"Ready, ready! Everything is ready! Waiting for the groom to come."
