After the elders finished admiring the watch, they sent Yu Yuehui and the younger children out to play, telling them not to stay in the kitchen. After all, she was the bride today, and no bride should stay in the kitchen!
Young girls can go inside and whisper to each other. Although Yu Yue is getting married in the village, she is still considered married, so the girls can whisper to each other!
Yu Yuexue and Ye Youshuang pulled Yu Yue back to her old room. Several large items had been moved there, and the room was now empty, which made things convenient for them!
Even with many people inside, it doesn't feel crowded!
Yu Yuehui knew that none of her sisters had ever seen a watch before, so she didn't hide it and took it off her wrist, handing it to the eldest sister, Ye Youhua, saying, "Sisters, you can try them on!"
Ye Youhua took the watch, but instead of putting it on herself, she showed it to everyone. The girls were very excited and took turns trying it on!
Yu Yuexue was the most excited. She looked at the watch on her wrist, glancing at it from left to right, her eyes brimming with undisguised delight. "How impressive!" she exclaimed. "I want to find someone who can afford to buy me a watch someday!"
Ye Youshuang nodded in agreement, "Yeah! It looks so good! It's so prestigious to wear a watch like that!" Just thinking about it made her excited! Wearing a white shirt and a watch on her wrist, she looked just like a government official in the city!
Ye Youhua slapped his sister across the face. "You two little fools, you really don't know anything. All you know is that it looks good. When you're looking for a partner, you're going to live your life together. You need to consider their character, family background, and so on. You can't just run off with someone just because they buy you a watch. You can't just look at these things. Besides, if the other person has the means, why would they need a watch? A sewing machine is much more cost-effective!"
Ye Youshuang, with tears in her eyes, went to Yu Yuehui to complain after being beaten by her older sister, "Sister Yuehui, look at my sister! She's a complete violent maniac! She loves to hit me! If I say something wrong, she won't talk to me properly, she just knows how to hit me!"
Ye Youhua looked at her younger sister with smug confidence, "Hmph! So what if you go after Yuehui? I'm the eldest among the sisters, the older sister. Ask your Yuehui if she dares to lay a hand on me."
Yu smiled and shook her head, saying, "No, no! I wouldn't dare to lay a hand on you, Sister Hua!" Turning to Ye Youshuang, she smiled and said, "Youshuang! I believe Sister Youhua will definitely not hit you again, and will talk to you nicely!"
"Right? There's a Flower Sister?"
Ye Youhua looked at Yu Yuehui with satisfaction, giving her younger sister a smug look. "Hmph! We'll see how you behave later!"
Although Ye Youshuang was suppressed by her older sister, she was still very dissatisfied and grumbled, "Even if you hit me again, I will not accept it. Why is a sewing machine better than a watch? A watch is so much better! It belongs to one person, while a sewing machine belongs to the whole family!"
Everything is truly yours once it's in your own hands; anything that's supposedly yours but is shared by everyone is no longer truly yours!
Ye Youhua noticed that not only her younger sister thought this way, but Yu Yuehui also nodded in agreement. With a big sister's demeanor, she tapped their heads and said, "Hey! You girls are just thinking like little girls. When you get married and are like me, you won't think like this anymore. Especially after I gave birth, I could clearly feel the convenience that the sewing machine brought."
"Children grow up quickly, they look different every few days. Their clothes always need to be altered, and there isn't enough fabric at home to make new ones. If you don't have a sewing machine, you have to alter them by hand. Sewing stitch by stitch is not easy, it's bad for your eyes, and it's slow!"
"I have a sewing machine. After cutting the fabric, I just need to step on it a couple of times, and it's done! It's so convenient! Making clothes for the family can be done in no time. It saves both time and money! You'll understand how much effort goes into this when you have kids!"
"Having a sewing machine can be a great help. Don't even think about borrowing one from someone else. When you try to borrow from someone, they won't be so tactless. Some people might lend it to you, but others will not only refuse but also say a lot of nasty things!"
"And can you borrow from other people's homes for an extended period of time?"
"So if you have the means in the future, get a sewing machine, not a watch. They look nice, but they're not practical!"
Yu Yue nodded in agreement. She thought Hua Jie was right. It seemed that sewing machines were still very important. Fortunately, her sister-in-law had a sewing machine, so she could use it freely!
Otherwise, what if we encounter the situations that Sister Hua mentioned in the future? She knows very well how well-liked she is in the village!
Yu Yuexue listened thoughtfully, thinking that it seemed that sewing machines really were important!
Seeing that her younger sisters had all taken it to heart, Ye Youhua nodded and joked, "Of course, I'm not saying watches are bad. Of course, watches are very good, and if you have the chance, you can still get one! It would be best if it had both a sewing machine and a watch!"
"We have both great things! It's both practical and beautiful, the best of both worlds!"
This remark made everyone in the room burst into laughter!
Of course, that would be the best, but everyone has their own standards, and there are almost no people who meet these conditions!
Unless you're incredibly lucky and happen to meet someone from such a family, and that person is also a very good person!
The group of girls were laughing and joking on the kang (a heated brick bed). They were all young girls, and they had a lot in common to talk about, so time flew by once they started chatting.
Before long, people outside started calling for dinner. Xie Yuyue led a few girls to the kitchen to get the dishes, while Xie Yan and Yu Yuehua went next door to invite the two guests over.
The two elderly people are getting on in years and prefer peace and quiet. In addition, they had previously shown excessive favoritism towards their younger son, which led to some unpleasantness between them and Yu Shan's family.
She was originally living at Yu Shan's house, but after the conflict escalated, she moved to Yu Hai's place. So the two elders didn't really like Qian Hong and felt that the whole thing was because of their daughter-in-law's instigation!
For so many years, they have almost completely cut off contact with Dafang. If it weren't for Yu Yuehui's wedding, they wouldn't have come here at all!
But they are elders after all, and they are still alive. We must invite them to our wedding. Yu Shan went there early last night to invite them!
But the two elders were clearly still being difficult, so the only option was to have the new son-in-law invite them again!
