She had eaten this egg cake once when her eldest brother got married.
Now I can finally ask for another chance to eat it while my second sister is getting married.
After things were discussed, everyone started to work and get busy the next day.
Qiao Qiping was responsible for going to the commune to reserve cabinets, boxes and quilts.
At this time, a complete set of cabinets includes a wardrobe, a table, and a towel washbasin rack.
At that time, the desk still had three drawers and two compartments.
Can store a lot of things.
The box is a large wooden box.
A set like this will cost a lot of money.
Fortunately, the family has some money now, otherwise they would not be able to afford such a generous dowry.
I have agreed with the commune, made a reservation, paid a deposit, and the rest is just a matter of waiting for them to finish the work and deliver the goods to my door before I can settle the remaining payment.
Zhu Shizhen, Fang Mei and Xu Li took the children to the supply and marketing cooperative in town to buy other things.
Enamel basins, jars, cups, thermoses, towels, etc.
Everything comes in pairs or pairs.
"Mom, is it too late for us to make shoes and sweaters now? Or should we buy ready-made ones?" Fang Mei asked.
Zhu Shizhen thought for a moment and said, "Let's make it ourselves. It should be in time. We still have three pairs of shoes made for the winter. It will be quick if we make three more pairs."
"The three pairs of shoes at home are just the right size for Xia Zhi's feet. You can make three more pairs for Yun Chen when the time comes. You and Xiao Li can knit the sweater together quickly, and I can make the socks when the time comes."
Fang Mei nodded: "Okay, then we'll buy more wool. What else do we need now?"
Xu Li reminded: "There are also sheets and quilt covers. You have to prepare these after making a quilt."
Fang Mei suddenly realized what was going on when she heard this: "Right, right, right, look at how dizzy I am. My head is not working anymore."
Xu Li smiled and said, "It's normal. My daughter is getting married, and as a mother, I feel sad and distressed. The more anxious I am when I am busy with these things, the more confused I am. I and your mother will remind you, so don't worry."
"Except for the wool and bed sheets, I have not yet bought everything else."
Then the group took the children to buy wool, bed sheets and quilt covers.
After all this hassle, the morning passed quickly.
Fortunately, everyone had a popsicle in the middle of the meal, which was treated by Qiao Xiazhi, otherwise we would have been hungry and thirsty.
"Grandma, mom, and aunt, it's already noon. It will be afternoon when we go back to eat. Why don't we just have a bowl of dumplings here?" After Qiao Xiazhi finished speaking, Qiao Dongzhi and his two sisters waited for grandma's decision with anticipation.
Zhu Shizhen looked at the crowd and realized that a bowl of dumplings for each person would cost a lot of money, so he said, "Use that money to buy two pounds of meat. Grandma will make it for you and you will be full."
"Okay, then let's go home and make dumplings." Qiao Xiazhi didn't refute.
If it were the old girl, she would probably start throwing a tantrum and yelling for food.
Now that things have changed, we will naturally weigh the pros and cons.
There are a lot of people coming today, and a bowl of dumplings per person does cost a lot of money. You can go buy a few pounds of meat and make your own dumplings at home and eat as much as you want.
After cutting the meat, they each bought an ice lolly and got on the tractor back to the brigade.
When they came back, the villagers in the brigade saw that their family was carrying a lot of bags again, and they were all envious.
"The man Xia Zhi just found is not only outstanding and handsome, but also rich."
"That's right. The things he used to propose marriage yesterday alone cost nearly a thousand dollars. This amount of money is something that we peasants would never dare to even think about in our lifetime."
"The betrothal gift yesterday must have been quite a lot. Otherwise, how could they have the money to buy so much today? I heard that Uncle Qiao went to the commune to order a cabinet early in the morning."
"If my daughter marries well, the whole family will enjoy the happiness."
"Okay, stop being envious. We don't have that kind of luck."
"If you have a daughter, and the relationship is not good, no matter how well she marries, it will have nothing to do with her family. There was a girl from Team 3 who married someone in the city, and it caused a big fuss. It seems like they don't have any contact with each other anymore."
"If you have daughters in the future, treat them well. Maybe they will marry well when they grow up and enjoy good fortune. You see, Xia Zhi married well, and the Qiao family will have a better life in the future."
"Xia Zhi is doing well now. I heard that he is going to study at a medical college in September. He wants to be a doctor after graduation. He is a very popular person."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, who would have thought that before last year, Xia Zhi was still a child who caused headaches for his family and was always against them. Look at him now, he is so good."
Everyone was talking at once, as if they could already foresee the future prosperity of the Qiao family.
In the rice fields, peanut fields and corn fields, there are envious eyes of the villagers everywhere.
