Qiu Yuling went in, changed, and came out, lifting up her skirt and turning around in the yard.
The moon was covered by clouds and the afterglow was not bright enough, but everyone still thought it was beautiful.
"When we get back, Third Brother will buy you another pair. Our Yuling is a clothes hanger. If you dress her up well, she will look better than those girls in the city."
"Then I will wear this skirt tomorrow and go to my uncle's house with my third brother."
Li Qingmei nodded, "Yes, it looks good. I remember you have a cotton vest, or you can wear that little sweater over it.
"Oh, your feet have grown longer, haven't they? I have a pair of velvet pumps with heels, size 37, that I've never worn. Try them on." Then she turned around and went in to get them.
It fits Qiu Yuling perfectly.
"Mom has never worn it, so you can wear it. It's inconvenient for me to work in it."
"Then I'll accept them all." After showing off, Qiu Yuling felt that her home really needed a large dressing mirror.
My cousin was very efficient. Within a day, he asked Qiu Jianshe to bring back a message saying that the other party wanted them to find time to have dinner at their house.
In the past, the little kids took even the third day of their marriage very seriously, but now, as for her third brother’s marriage, all he had to do was go to the girl’s house for a simple meal and all he had to do was discuss everything.
They agreed to visit on the eighth day of the fifth lunar month. Not only did the two children of the Qiu family dress neatly, but even Mr. and Mrs. Qiu changed into new clothes without patches.
Li Qingmei changed into the flowered shirt, black pants, white socks, and black cloth shoes. What did Qiu Yuling think? Qiu Yuling thought for a moment and said, "I think I'm missing a pair of shoes. Mom, please wait a moment."
She ran back and took back the cloth shoes with heels that Qiu's mother had given her that day, and said, "Put these on."
"You want to wear it? The ones on my feet will do."
"Hey, hurry up and change. I'm wearing white sneakers. You can keep these for when you go out or when something important happens. I'll buy another pair when I get home."
Li Qingmei couldn't persuade her daughter, and the time was almost up, so she had to take back the gift and wear it again.
Qiu Dashu pulled his sister over and said, "It's okay, I'll go back and send you a pair. They're 37cm, right? I'll take care of it.
Mom, don't worry about my little sister's share, I'll make it up to her."
Qiu Yuling joked, "If you didn't know, you would think my third brother has become very successful."
Qiu Jianshe had already harnessed the donkey cart and was waiting. It was not easy for him to rush him. If he did, he would surely be killed.
Li Qingmei ordered some more things: six feet of red cloth, six ounces of brown sugar, six pounds of flour, and six pounds of dried mutton from the New Year, along with a sixteen-yuan deposit. "That should be all, let's go."
Although Qiu Dashu was shy in front of his parents a few days ago, when it came to the battle, he was very calm and composed, and looked very serious. No matter how Qiu Yuling teased him along the way, he did not seem embarrassed at all.
"Mom, look at my third brother, he looks quite like that." This tone is what my father-in-law likes the most.
"Once you start working, you become an adult. You think everyone is just like you and never grows up." Li Qingmei pressed her messy hair into her square scarf and smoothed her daughter's braid.
"I told you to put it on, but you refused to listen. All the way there, dirt was blown into your hair, and now when you come back you're clamoring to wash your hair again."
"Just wash it. Now there's one well per team, so it's not as hard as before to draw water. Oh, and how about putting my washing tub back in?"
"No, why bother pretending? I've already finished all the work. You've only been home for a few days, so it won't be necessary. Let's not bother with that..."
The two teams were not far apart originally, and with the donkey carts, it was even faster. It felt like they arrived before they had even spoken a few words.
Wang Aihong's parents were waiting at the entrance of the brigade early, and they greeted them from afar, calling them "brothers".
"Her uncle, aunt, come in quickly. Ask Aihong's father to tie up the donkey cart. The meal is waiting in the pot. Come up and sit down quickly."
Qiu Yuling originally thought that Wang Aihong would be somewhat shy or reserved when she knew that she was going to become her third sister-in-law.
Unexpectedly, he was more relaxed than the adults. "Uncle, aunt, third brother, Yuling, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time."
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Qiu Yuling felt that Wang Aihong’s mother just made a movement for a moment, as if she was going to cover her mouth.
"Well, her aunt, please sit on the kang, don't stand on the floor. Everything is ready, just serve it on the table."
Qiu Dashu put all the things on the altar in the main hall, and Queen Mother was busy again complaining that he took too many things.
"Just come. We are all from the same village and know each other well. Why go through all this formality? Let's just have a meal today and make a living. Look at this, it's a waste."
Li Qingmei quickly stopped her from pushing her hand back. "Hey, that's not the case. The more we know each other, the more we should know that you don't need these. These are all for our daughters. It's okay if you, as a mother, don't like them. Anyway, you are not allowed to use them..."
For a moment, the atmosphere was extremely good, and the two mothers-in-law held hands and talked and laughed.
Wang Aihong's sister-in-law lifted the curtain and said, "Mom, shall we set the table now?"
"Put it on the table, put it on the table now." As he said this, he was about to serve the food with his daughter-in-law, and Li Qingmei followed closely behind.
"Oh, my mother-in-law is a guest today, why are you following her? Go back and sit down."
Li Qingmei also pulled the other person's hand, calling out to her relatives, "Ordinarily, we should have prepared this meal, but we didn't want our daughter to be known as someone who was demanding, so today the whole family came here shamelessly to beg for food. How could we wait to be served..."
When Zhao Yunxiang heard this, she was even more delighted from the bottom of her heart. It was their Wang family who first proposed this marriage, but they didn't make any trouble.
Although we can no longer go through the formalities of three matchmakers and six betrothal gifts like before, we still show full respect.
For a family like this, regardless of whether the son will become successful or not, the family tradition alone is reassuring.
What's more, she met Qiu Dashu today. He was handsome and elegant, and he was very graceful when meeting people. He spoke in a gentle and refined manner. Even if she said it against her conscience, her daughter was not worthy of him.
If her daughter hadn't been so good-looking and could deceive people on the surface, to be honest, she would have backed off right now.
She didn't know that her daughter's character was known to everyone in the old Qiu family, not to mention the people themselves, but even the donkeys in the backyard knew about it. She was not fooled by her good looks at all.
Thinking this way, she became more enthusiastic towards the Qiu family. Since she couldn't praise her son-in-law openly, she just kept praising their daughter.
"How does our Yuling look? She's talented and pretty, a few years younger than Aihong, but her character is much stronger than Aihong's..."
Wang Aihong glanced at her mother who was known for her loose lips and said, "Mom, have you forgotten what kind of occasion we are in today?" She was still being suppressed on such a day?
