"Dad, Taohua is still young, and there will be a lot of expenses for her to go to school in the future. Our family will also need money when we hold the wedding. Nanqiao and I have already discussed it, and I have enough money in my hands."
"Okay, if you don't have enough, tell your family and they'll find a way for you." Uncle Sheng heard Sheng Yanchuan say this, thinking that he would indeed need a lot of money in the future, so he agreed.
"Dad, when I came back, I passed by the supply and marketing cooperative and bought some peach cakes. There were quite a lot. Do you want to give some to my eldest brother's family?" Sheng Yanchuan asked while holding Yaya. Sheng Yanchuan also contributed to the fact that Sheng Yanjun's family was not invited to come for lunch today.
Originally, the Nan family had not completely accepted him, and Sheng Yanchuan was also afraid that his eldest sister-in-law would come over today and say something that shouldn't be said, so when Uncle Sheng mentioned it the night before, Aunt Xiumei and Sheng Yanchuan were unanimous in opposing the neighbor coming over.
Another reason is that Sheng Yanjun is his biological elder brother, and Nanqiao is his wife. Both sides are important people. Sheng Yanchuan does not want any conflict between the two sides. Since his elder brother and sister-in-law do not like Nanqiao, and Nanqiao has no feelings for them, then he should just stay away from them so that no one can offend the other.
Anyway, Nanqiao is his wife, so it doesn't matter whether my elder brother and sister-in-law like to do anything for him, as long as he likes it.
As for bringing back a portion of peach cakes to share with the family, I also felt that it was a bit unkind of me to squeeze out my eldest brother's family first, but this thought only flashed through my mind.
"No, keep it. The two little ones are here. What do they have to eat when they are the older ones?" Uncle Sheng waved his hand, not showing any intention of giving some to the neighbors. According to him, Yaya is still here, and they have never thought about taking their daughter back. Since their daughter is here, it's good enough if they don't have to send food for the child. How can they send food from here to there?
"Okay, then I'll go cook. Mom probably won't be back for a while." Sheng Yanchuan said to Uncle Sheng, then put Yaya on a small stool and went to the kitchen to cook.
There was still a lot of food left from lunch, so Sheng Yanchuan simply heated it up, made some porridge, and steamed some buns for dinner.
After cooking, Sheng Yanchuan waited for a long time but Aunt Xiumei didn't come back. He put the food back into the pot, worried that it would get cold. Just when he was thinking about whether to go out to look for her, Aunt Xiumei looked at the red paper in her hand and walked in happily.
"Mom, how are you? Why did you come back so late?" As soon as Sheng Yanchuan saw someone coming in, he quickly stepped forward, his eyes fixed on the note in Aunt Xiumei's hand."
"Your Uncle Song is not at home, and I went to look for him and spent some time. There are two dates, one is the ninth day of next month, and the other is the sixth day of the month after next. These are two good dates recently. What do you think?"
"The ninth day of next month" Aunt Xiumei had just handed the note to Sheng Yanchuan, and before she had time to unfold it, she heard Sheng Yanchuan's somewhat anxious voice.
"The ninth day of next month," Aunt Xiumei muttered quietly, calculating in her mind how much time was left.
"There is still more than half a month left. Is it enough time?" There are many things to prepare before the wedding. Aunt Xiumei is worried that more than half a month will not be enough.
"It's still in time. I've bought everything that needs to be bought in town. They're all ready. I can just bring back some of the things for our home decoration. The clothes can be made in town. But you'll have to worry about the banquet at home."
"Okay, let's have it on the ninth day of next month. Tomorrow I will go find Master Cui from the next village to arrange the wedding. He is a good cook, and you and Qiaoqiao's wedding must be a decent one." Aunt Xiumei also wanted to marry this good daughter-in-law home as soon as possible. Seeing that Sheng Yanchuan said that there was still time, she decided on this matter and began to think about the next arrangements.
After dinner, Aunt Xiumei went back to her room to rest. She and Uncle Sheng were still discussing the things they had to do to buy things and decorate the house.
"Can you see if I'm missing anything?" Aunt Xiumei pointed to a densely written piece of paper and asked Uncle Sheng, fearing that she would miss something.
"No more! You just need to rebuild the house." Uncle Sheng looked at the paper and said with a pout. Fortunately, he didn't give all the money to Sheng Yanchuan in the afternoon, otherwise it would not be enough.
"You old man, why are you so impatient when I ask you something? I'm just worried that something is missing. I heard from Chuanzi that the in-laws have to send a dowry to Nanqiao. The betrothal gift we gave is not much, so we can't be short of money for the wedding."
"No, no, no, no, if you need any more, tell me and I'll go to town to buy some anytime. If you don't have enough tickets, we can get more and exchange them with the villagers. We can always solve the problem." Uncle Sheng saw that his wife was getting angry, so he didn't dare to joke with her anymore and tried to comfort her.
Besides, the list of his wife is enough for another son to get married, how could there be any shortage...
"No, I have to check with him tomorrow morning before Chuanzi leaves, to avoid any conflicts between us." Aunt Xiumei folded the note and put it under her pillow. She was ready to go to bed, but just as she lay down, she saw Uncle Sheng still sitting on the edge of the kang, and said dissatisfiedly:
"Why aren't you sleeping yet? You have to get up early tomorrow morning to check with Chuanzi. Don't disturb my sleep."
Uncle Sheng looked at his unreasonable wife and didn't know what to say to refute her. His breath was stuck in his throat, but he still turned off the lights and climbed onto the kang to sleep....
The next morning, before the cock crowed, Aunt Xiumei got up quickly and looked into Sheng Yanchuan's room while cooking to see if he had gotten up.
After making breakfast, Aunt Xiumei sat in front of the stove, stirring the fire in the stove with a fire stick from time to time. When she saw Sheng Yanchuan's door open, she put down the fire stick, took out the list she had prepared long ago from her pocket, and ran to Sheng Yanchuan.
