Chapter 425: People with ability and capability should go out and expand their territory
Get two pieces of bright red cloth to make wedding dresses for the two newlyweds from head to toe, and also use bright red sheets and quilt covers for the wedding day.
They are all farmers, and they focus on practicality and comfort. The cotton cloth chosen by Shen Qing becomes softer and more comfortable with each wash. It is also breathable, finer than linen, easier to care for than silk, and reasonably priced.
Two pieces each of pomegranate red, light pink, light blue, azure blue, sky blue, sky blue, and lavender. In addition to making clothes and bed sheets and quilt covers for the newlyweds, the dowry also includes clothes, quilts, shoes, socks, diapers, etc. for the future children.
Many elderly people in China keep their wedding fabrics in good condition, and the fabrics are still very durable.
However, people in this dynasty did a lot of farm work and traveled between mountains and forests, so the fabrics were damaged quickly and it was estimated that they could not be harvested for many years.
Jiang Yu felt a little distressed. The bright colors were more expensive than the natural colors. Shen Qing bought them directly with a wave of his hand and whispered, "Make a few more clothes for yourself. You can have a wedding, a visit to your parents-in-law, and then the Chinese New Year. If you change the colors and have new clothes and new styles every day, won't you feel good?
And what about sheets, quilt covers, and pillowcases? Which one doesn't require fabric? Making a few extra sets will make life easier, right?
In addition, the new daughter-in-law will make gifts for her parents-in-law's family. Xiaoyu will be the eldest sister-in-law when she gets married. The saying that the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother cannot be achieved by just saying it verbally!
She cares about the things that need to be done more than her sisters-in-law.
How could anyone live in this world without social connections? Besides, Lei Chuntian, Lei Erfu, Lei Sanfu, and other brothers and sisters were all nice people. If they took the initiative to prepare a wedding gift for the eldest sister-in-law, Xiaoyu would have to give something in return, right?
Fabric as a return gift is practical, convenient and definitely worth giving away.
Jiang Yu murmured, "But this is too much."
Shen Qing said bluntly, "It would look good if you had more dowry! If there's less, I'll still buy you some. Why not buy a few more now? At least it'll look good for your face."
As for the dowry, who wouldn't want a large one? Who wouldn't want to cover all the necessities of life?
Jiang Yu hesitated, thinking that she had quite a bit of money. She wanted to pay for it herself, but she wondered if her sister-in-law would be angry when she heard that.
Shen Qing knew what Xiaoyu was thinking at a glance, and smiled and advised: "Don't worry about it, it's just that they were poor in the past. We have seen many poor families who asked for betrothal gifts but had no dowry.
Do you know how grand it is for those wealthy families to marry off their daughters? The ten-mile red makeup truly includes everything, including life and death. They even send people to dig a well for drinking water. Compared with them, what is mine?
Whatever I buy for you, just take it with peace of mind and tell yourself that you deserve the best!"
This is a feeling of unworthiness. I always feel that I am not worthy of good things, and I am not worthy of anything good. When something is given to me, I am not happy but anxious, and my first thought is to reject it.
He had been suppressed too many times since he was a child. Even if she came here to guide him intentionally or unintentionally and things had improved a little, the time was still too short. How could she completely reverse the suppression of more than 20 years in just over a year?
There is a long way to go, take your time~
Jiang Yu just felt his eyes sore.
It’s not that she deserves the best, it’s clearly that she thinks she deserves the best.
Seeing that Xiaoyu did not refuse, Shen Qing planned: "Let's buy the cloth first, and you can use your free time to cut the clothes. If you want better ones, you can spend some money to ask Pinggu and others to embroider them for you.
Other small gifts such as handkerchiefs and purses can be made in advance. The wedding is expected to take place in the winter or twelfth month, which is only two or three months away. You have to pay attention to the time planning.
Food, clothing, housing and transportation, the first one is taken care of, the second one is available at home, the Lei family is not short of meat, and when the time comes, they will give you some rice, flour, sugar, salt and the like;
The fourth one I had thought of a long time ago: two donkeys, a carriage, and a cart, all of which belong to you, making it convenient for you to go out or transport goods in the future;
The third one worries me the most. It's said that if you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, you follow the dog. You should always have a place to live after you marry in, and we women don't have to worry about it. But the Lei family's house is not only made of mud, but also has a thatched roof. It's low and has poor lighting. I've looked around before, and it's not very spacious. Even if you get a room there, it will be very cramped.
Especially halfway up the mountain, the hunters there can go up and down like walking on flat ground, but what about you? It's okay in spring, summer, and autumn, but in heavy rain, snow, and freezing weather, it's like climbing to heaven to go up and down the mountain."
Jiang Yu didn't expect that Shen Qing had thought so much about her without her knowledge!
She just said that wealthy families take care of everything for their daughters during their lifetime and after their death, but isn't it the same for her?
Food, clothing, housing and transportation, except for housing, haven’t we thought of and done everything else for her!
She comforted him, “Sister-in-law, you don’t have to worry about me. I can let them teach me. I will study hard and practice hard. If they can do it, I can do it too.
Don't worry, I will go to see you every day, and I will be able to see you whenever I want."
Shen Qing was worried.
He has been practicing since he was young, which is equivalent to having boyhood kung fu. How can Jiang Yu, who is in his early twenties, compare with him?
Besides, it's fine on weekdays, but what if she gets pregnant? Pregnant women already have all kinds of discomforts, so how can they climb high and low and do dangerous things? There are women with good physical conditions, but they should prepare for the worst.
She asked quietly, "I have an idea, do you want to hear it?"
Jiang Yu nodded without hesitation and said trustingly, "Sister-in-law, just tell me."
Shen Qing said the method he had thought of a long time ago: "I think the Lei family is not spacious after all, and it is not convenient to go back and forth. We have a large place over there, so how about allocating a piece of land for you to build a house?
I just don't know if the Lei family is willing, but if you agree, I'll talk to Cuihua and Boss Lei."
Xiaoyu is the new daughter-in-law after all, so how can she be involved in these matters?
Jiang Yu's eyes widened, filled with shock!
She waved her hands hurriedly: "Sister-in-law, that is land, the most important thing. It will be divided among Xiangdong and his brothers in the future. How can I, a girl who married out, occupy my mother's land!"
If she took it, not only would she be criticized by everyone, but she would also be embarrassed.
Shen Qing didn't care at all: "Who said that it can only be divided among Xiangdong and his brothers?
You and Xiaoshui are both members of the Jiang family. You contributed just as much as they did to earn money along the way and to building the house. Why are you included in the work, but excluded when it comes to sharing the fruits of labor?"
She can accept that the results of work are divided according to output and contribution, but if it is divided according to gender, it may be acceptable for others, but not for her.
She doesn't care about men or women, she only cares about everyone's contribution. Those who disagree or don't agree can be rejected. Anyway, most of the family business was built by her. People with skills and abilities should go out to expand the territory instead of making a living at home!
When together they are a ball of fire; when apart they are a sky full of stars. It is truly amazing that everyone in the family can stand on their own two feet.
