Chapter 159 Good News and Marriage

morning.

Sham Shui Tin Village.

Guan Dewei was happily sitting at the doorstep knitting something.

Today, the eldest daughter has married into a good family and is living a happy life. The family is also doing very well. Seven hundred Guiwei lychee seedlings have been planted and many new branches and leaves have grown. The whole orchard is full of vitality and is pleasing to the eye.

The children have become obedient, and even the chickens and ducks seem to be growing faster than before.

All in all, everything is going well at home.

Beside them, Yongying's mother lit two cigarettes and said, "Old man, if you calculate the date, Yongying should be giving birth soon!"

Guan Dewei nodded and said, "It will probably be in these few days!"

Yongying's mother said, "I hope she can give birth to a son as her first child. Then her parents-in-law will treat her better."

Guan Dewei smiled and said, "It doesn't matter whether the first child is a boy or a girl. If it's a boy, it's better. If it's a girl, then just give birth to a boy as the second child."

Yongying's mother said, "That's true, but if the first and second babies are both girls, that would be bad news."

Guan Dewei glanced at his wife and said, "You are worrying for nothing."

Yongying's mother continued to stuff tobacco into her cigarette holder and sighed, "I don't want to worry either. This doesn't make me feel uneasy!"

Guan Dewei said: "Maybe the first baby will be a son!"

Yongying's mother lit a match and took a few puffs of her cigarette before she said, "If the first child is a son, then we won't have to worry about her anymore."

Just as the couple was talking about their eldest daughter, the voice of their son-in-law Deng Changfu came from afar: "Dad, Mom."

The couple looked in the direction of the sound at the same time, and saw their son-in-law Deng Changfu riding a bicycle towards them. On the handlebars of the bicycle were hung a chicken, a piece of pork, wine and other gifts. They were shocked and thought of a possibility.

That was their daughter, born! It was no wonder that Guan Dewei and his wife thought so, because according to their local customs, after their daughter gave birth to a child, their son-in-law had to bring eggs, chicken, pork and wine to announce the good news to them, commonly known as "announce ginger wine".

Now it is obvious that the gift brought by the son-in-law is such a gift. Combined with the daughter's "due date", it is naturally easy to guess the truth of the matter.

So, when Yongying's mother saw her son-in-law, she put down her cigarette holder, stood up and asked, "Ahfu, is Yongying born?"

Deng Changfu parked the car in front of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and said with a smile on his face: "Yes, Dad, Mom, Yongying is born!"

Yongying's mother smiled and asked, "Seeing how happy you are, Yongying must have given birth to a son?"

Guan Dewei was also somewhat happy in his heart. He also realized that the smile on his son-in-law's face was not fake but came from the heart. It was obvious that their daughter had done well and gave birth to a son as her first child.

Deng Changfu laughed and said, "Dad, Mom, you would never have thought that Yongying gave birth to a pair of twin sons for our Deng family."

"What did you say?"

"Did I hear correctly? Yongying gave birth to twin sons?"

Guan Dewei and his wife cried out in surprise when they heard this and were completely shocked!

Their conversation was also heard by the neighbors, who gathered around in shock.

Deng Changfu chuckled and said, "Dad, Mom, you heard it right. Yongying gave birth to twin sons for our Deng family."

"Great! Yongying is really awesome!"

Yongying's mother's face was full of excitement. Just now she was worried about what she would do if her daughter gave birth to both daughters as the first and second child. She didn't expect that her daughter would be so successful and her first child was a rare pair of twin sons. She was so lucky!

"Good! Good! Good!"

Guan Dewei was so excited that he said three good words in a row. With the twin sons, his daughter's position in her husband's family would be as solid as a rock.

The neighbors who gathered around were all amazed and offered their blessings.

Next, after taking the things brought by her son-in-law, Yongying's mother began to happily kill chickens and cook meat.

After the chicken and pork were cooked, he chopped the chicken into small pieces and the pork into small pieces. Then he took out a dozen bowls, put a piece of chicken and two pieces of pork in each bowl, and poured the wine brought by the son-in-law into the bowls.

Then, they would bring the wine to close relatives and neighbors door to door, inform them of the specific time of the grandson's birth, and invite them to drink the birth wine together.

In Bobai County, both city dwellers and rural residents attach great importance to making a full moon.

Especially for those who have a son as their first child, there will basically be a grand celebration. Even if it is a daughter, many families will still hold a banquet.

After the second child is born, some families will choose to continue holding a banquet, while some families choose not to.

In short, the importance given to the second child is different from that of the first child.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

There are also various rules for making the moon.

For example, if the boy is born first and the girl is born last, if it is a boy, the wedding banquet can be held in advance. If it is a girl, the wedding banquet must be held one month later.

Another thing is that if you invite people to drink the New Year wine, you must first serve them a bowl of wine, and the wine must contain meat. Without these things, people will not come.

As Deng Changfu came to announce the good news, in less than half an hour, the entire Shenshuitian Village knew that Guan Yongying had given birth to twin sons.

Everyone was naturally envious. In this age where people believe in strength in numbers, families with many sons are considered powerful in the village. If a family has six or seven sons, no one in the village would dare to lose their temper in front of him.

…

In May, good things really happened in Naye Village.

Deng Changfu's family had just given birth to twin sons, and right after that, Deng Changyuan got married and held a wedding banquet.

As a matchmaker, Deng Shirong gave a piece of fine khaki cloth.

In this day and age, cloth can be said to be the hard currency among all kinds of gifts. No matter what the happy occasion is, giving cloth is definitely a good choice.

Deng Yuntai and Zhang Xiuping gave a quilt and a red envelope containing two big unity notes.

This is definitely a big deal. The importance of quilts in this era is unquestionable. Among the dozens of households in Naye Village, only a few can sleep warmly in winter. I wonder how many families dream of getting a new quilt to spend the winter.

Therefore, when the guests saw the quilts sent by Deng Yuntai and his wife, they were all envious.

As for the red envelope of twenty yuan, it was also the largest. Even the closest relatives of Deng Changyuan's family could not give such a large red envelope.

I won't go into detail about the wedding process, as it's pretty much the same. Deng Changyuan had six tables at his wedding. Although it was far smaller than the scene at his childhood friend Deng Yuntai's wedding, it was still considered a grand affair in Naye Village, as most families only had three or four tables.

The dishes are pretty standard, with all the expected chicken, duck, fish and meat. They are not shabby, but not rich either.

Normally, the bride would most likely shed tears when seeing off the guests, but this time the bride Ou Guohua was an exception. She was indeed a little sad when she watched her relatives leave, but when she saw her good sister Zhang Xiuping by her side, the sadness in her heart was quickly diluted.

Thank you all for your monthly votes, fist bump!
