Before returning to the village, Song Kexia went to the black market and bought two kilograms of pork and some chestnut cakes.
Seeing watermelons being sold nearby, she went over to take a look.
The watermelons are really big, a big one weighs more than ten pounds.
But it is sold very cheaply. A watermelon weighing 13 or 14 pounds only costs 30 cents.
She bought two big watermelons, which she estimated to weigh about 34 or 35 kilograms.
Of course, such heavy things are carried by the men in the family.
Now that she was making money, Wang Guihua no longer stopped her from buying things.
There is less food these days and children get hungry easily.
Since she made money, she naturally hoped that they could have enough to eat.
While sitting in the car, Hu Qiaoer looked at the fabric Song Kexia was holding and said with a smile, "Little sister, the fabric you bought is really beautiful. Where did you buy it?"
"It was given to me by my friend."
Hu Qiao'er was very surprised. Cloth coupons were rare these days. Who would give away so many beautiful cloths?
"You are such a generous friend."
When Wang Guihua heard this, her face turned dark.
She remembered that Song Kexia had mentioned that she had a partner.
Could it be that gay man bought these things?
I am willing to do it.
"Are you planning to make clothes with these materials?"
Song Kexia shook her head and said, "I want to give it to my cousin as a wedding gift."
Hu Qiaoer was even more surprised. So much fabric?
This gift is too great.
Wang Guihua also felt that the gift was too expensive.
In the countryside, even if they are relatives, it is usually enough for them to go and help at such a happy event and give a gift of five or ten dollars.
These two pieces of material probably cost more than ten or twenty yuan, so this gift is quite expensive.
"You haven't even gotten married yet, so you don't need to give gifts yourself. Your father and I can do it."
"Mom, I gave this fabric to my cousin because she said she had no new clothes to wear. I couldn't use it anyway, so I gave it to her."
Hu Qiao'er was shocked when she heard this. She thought her younger sister was really arrogant.
It was difficult for them to get cloth coupons, and they could only make one set of clothes in a year. This is why there was a saying that "three years new, three years old, and three years of mending."
But my younger sister said that she had too many clothes to wear.
Seeing the envy in Hu Qiao'er's eyes, Song Kexia smiled and said, "Second sister-in-law, when I come back, I will give you a piece of cloth so that you can make new clothes."
Hu Qiao'er was overjoyed, "Me too?"
"Of course I will give you a piece of beautiful floral cloth to make a skirt."
"Thank you, little sister."
Hu Qiao'er has just turned 26 this year. It's natural for a young wife of this age not to like to be coquettish.
It’s just that my family is poor and I can’t afford to dress myself up.
Now that she heard that Song Kexia was going to give her cloth to make a skirt, there was no reason for her not to be happy.
When Wang Guihua heard that her daughter was going to give cloth to her daughter-in-law to make clothes, she couldn't help but feel distressed.
These are the most precious treasures in the box and are the girl’s dowry.
It would be so dignified if I could bring it with me when I get married.
But this silly girl gave it away without even blinking an eye.
Hearing the aunt and sister-in-law happily discussing what style of skirt to make, Wang Guihua swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth and didn't want to spoil the fun.
When there is no one around, she will talk to Xia Xia in detail.
Back in Muqian Village, Song Kexia carried cloth, Wang Guihua carried a bag of chestnut cakes, and Li Fangliang carried a watermelon, and they went to visit Old Lady Li.
The remaining things were given to Hu Qiaoer to take home.
Two large stoves have been built in the yard, with two large pots on them, for tomorrow's banquet.
Fan Xiuxiu and her eldest cousin's wife were killing chickens, and several aunts were helping to shell peanuts and pick vegetables.
Old Mrs. Li's legs have gotten much better, but her family is worried that the bones have not healed well, so they still let her walk with crutches.
At this moment, she was sitting next to him, talking to Li Hongshuang with a smile.
Li Hongshuang saw them coming over and said with a smile, "Second Aunt, Brother Fang Liang, Xia Xia, why are you here?"
Wang Feihua was eating melon seeds on the side, and her eyes lit up when she saw what they brought.
They brought so many things here, they must have made a fortune.
What attracted her most was the cloth that Song Kexia brought over.
She put the melon seeds back into her pocket and walked over with a smile on her face, "Xia Xia is here, and she brought some cloth.
Wow, this material is really nice, it will definitely look great as a skirt."
As she said this, she was about to touch it.
Song Kexia turned sideways and avoided it.
"Aunt Wu, what are you doing?"
"I'm just taking a look. We're all family, why are you being so distant?"
Wang Guihua rebuked her mercilessly, "You have to watch everything. Even if someone carries manure past your door, you have to taste it to see if it's salty or not."
After Old Lady Li was discharged from the hospital, Wang Feihua, for some reason, kept running to her house and telling Li Dachuan how good the family in the city was.
She had made it clear long ago that she didn't want Song Kexia to get married so soon.
But Wang Feihua seemed to not understand what others were saying and still wanted to start with Li Dachuan.
Because of her advice, Wang Guihua became annoyed and her relationship with her became worse. Every time she saw her, she wanted to argue with her.
Wang Feihua looked at her angrily, "Second sister-in-law, why are you talking so harshly?"
"I haven't said anything more unpleasant yet. Please don't make things difficult for others on such a happy day."
"Yes, yes, I came here to help and caused trouble for my sister-in-law's family. Only you can bring honor to others. You are so capable."
Seeing that they were about to quarrel, Old Lady Li shouted, "Alright, what's there to quarrel about? Let's get back to work."
Wang Feihua saw that Old Lady Li was angry, and Wang Guihua came with two helpers. She knew that she would definitely not be able to defeat her, so she walked to the side angrily.
