Chapter 136 Disaster

It was almost ten o'clock when they returned to the village. When Liu Yinyin went to Liu's house to pick up the child, the bride had already arrived.

The entrance to the Liu family's house was very busy. Although there was no wedding banquet, families with good relationships with the family would come to take a look at the bride.

What's more, people who come will be given some wedding candies to share in the joy.

When Liu Yinyin arrived at the Liu family, she happened to see the newlyweds handing out wedding candies to others.

Huang Xiaoyue wore a red cotton jacket today and looked very beautiful.

Jiang Cuihua is also very happy today. Today is a big day for the Liu family.

And...she really didn't expect that Huang Xiaoyue would bring so much dowry when she got married.

Several new sets of clothes and two new quilts, each weighing eight kilograms!

In addition to clothes and quilts, there is also food!

When Huang Xiaoyue came, she brought three or four hundred kilograms of food.

It can be seen that Huang Laizi felt sorry for his daughter and was afraid that she would go hungry, so he brought her food for the next year.

Plus some odds and ends.

The oxcart is almost full.

There was also furniture, which was delivered to Liu's house two days ago.

This made everyone else in the village jealous, and they all said that Jiang Cuihua had good taste and had chosen a good daughter-in-law.

It's the day of the young lady's wedding, and Huang Laizi also came today.

As soon as he showed his face, some people in the village were frightened and secretly muttered that he was ugly.

However, this does not affect the marriage of the two families.

Huang Laizi's face is scary, but Liu Mingyuan is not marrying him.

Huang Xiaoyue is not ugly at all.

"Third sister-in-law." Liu Yinyin greeted her. She had met Huang Xiaoyue when she exchanged honey last time, but they didn't talk at that time.

"Sister-in-law." Huang Xiaoyue said shyly, her face slightly flushed.

Liu Yinyin smiled and said, "Just call me Yinyin."

The two are about the same age.

Liu Yinyin did not disturb them. Seeing Gu Yanyan playing with some cousins ​​in the yard, she went to look for her son.

"Mom..." Gu Yanyan held a piece of wedding candy in his hand. He saw other children eating it happily.

He knew that it was delicious, but the candy was wrapped in candy paper and he couldn't open it. He tore the candy into pieces.

He reached out and handed the candy to his mother, wanting Liu Yinyin to help him peel the candy.

Liu Yinyin directly confiscated the wedding candy from his hand, saying that the little guy was too young to eat it.

"Mom..." When Gu Yanyan saw Liu Yinyin accepted his candy, he pouted, looking aggrieved and wanting to cry.

Liu Yinyin picked him up and went to find Liu Ersao.

There were many people at home today, and Mrs. Liu was pregnant, so she didn't go out to join in the fun.

"Yanyan couldn't stay in the room alone, so I let him go out and asked Zhizhi and the others to look after him." said Mrs. Liu.

"It's okay, let him play." You can't always keep the child at home. They are all from the same village, how could there be any danger?

It’s because Gu Yanyan is still young now. When he grows up a little, he will probably go up the mountains and down the river to play with the children in the village every day.

As for boys, Liu Yinyin won’t control him too much.

Mrs. Liu smiled and sighed, "I heard from mother that you found a temporary job for big brother?"

Liu Yinyin was slightly stunned: "...It was a neighbor in the county town. She was pregnant and couldn't work because of the advanced period of pregnancy. She wanted to find someone to replace her for two months. She couldn't find a suitable candidate. It happened that I was delivering meat to her, so she asked me to help.

I told my mother about it, and she said that my third brother had just gotten married and my second brother had to take care of you. The work at the oil press was hard, and sometimes you had to work night shifts, so neither of them was suitable to go.

So I can only let my eldest brother go."

She didn't know what Liu Ersao meant by this, but she had to make it clear to avoid any rift between them.

Mrs. Liu snorted, "Don't get me wrong. I don't mean anything else. I just want to say that people in the city are better. There are more opportunities to make money."

If Liu Yinyin hadn't told them, how would they have known that there were people in the city looking for help?

In fact, Liu Ersao had no objection to who Jiang Cuihua arranged to go.

Anyway, the Liu family has not split up, so no matter who makes money, it all belongs to the public.

Liu Yinyin smiled and said, "Maybe there will be another chance in the future."

Next time, it should be her second brother's turn.

Sister Liu said, "It's better to be a city dweller. You have jobs and receive food every month. Unlike country folk, you have to go hungry when the harvest is bad."

"Sister-in-law, did something happen?" Liu Yinyin asked.

The Liu family's situation is not that bad, and they will not run out of food, so Second Sister Liu does not need to worry about this.

Moreover, Liu Ersao's family had exchanged a lot of food with Liu Yinyin before, so they should be able to hold out for a while.

"It's my eldest sister's home." Liu Ersao also has an older sister who married far away, in the next village.

The disaster there was even worse than here. It was said that people in the village where her eldest sister got married had starved to death.

Mrs. Liu only found out in the past two days that her elder sister had gone to her parents' home to borrow food.

Unfortunately, under such circumstances, her parents did not dare to borrow more food as their own family was already in financial difficulty.

If it weren't for the help of her sister-in-law, Liu Ersao's family wouldn't be much better.

At this moment, Mrs. Liu was extremely grateful that she had married into Liujia Village, which was much better than other villages.

Now, Liu Changquan is fully focused on raising rabbits.

It is said that the villagers earned a lot of food by selling rabbits.

There was food in the canteen and food stored at home. Although the food was not very good, Mrs. Liu did not feel that life was too difficult.

She really didn't expect that there was a place... The situation was so bad that some people starved to death.

Liu Yinyin sighed when she heard this. This kind of natural disaster could not be changed or avoided.

She doesn't have the ability to help others.

Mrs. Liu would not be so shameless as to borrow food from her sister-in-law to help her elder sister. Her elder sister had no money and no local products, so she could not even exchange for some food.

We can only endure it slowly. When next spring comes and there are wild vegetables to dig on the mountains, life will be a little better.

Jiang Cuihua was preparing lunch with Mrs. Liu in the kitchen.

There were several families, a total of fifteen people, big and small.

One table was not enough, so Jiang Cuihua added a small table.

On the wedding day, Jiang Cuihua did not skimp and prepared a table full of sumptuous meals.

The pork and offal that my daughter-in-law gave me yesterday have all been taken out for cooking.

Braised pork trotters, braised pork, braised fish, stir-fried pork liver with scallions, stewed pork trotters with soybeans, stir-fried pork lungs, fried egg with scallions, and braised pig blood.

Fried yam with fungus, spicy and sour shredded potato, fried pumpkin, and pickled cabbage.

Among the twelve dishes, eight are staple dishes.

There was also a bottle of liquor on the table.

Huang Laizi's face was filled with joy. The Liu family prepared such a sumptuous meal, and as a relative, he was proud of it.

It was really thoughtful to prepare such a table of food during a famine.
