Chapter 143 Sister's Marriage 1
Sister's Marriage 1
Ma Youcai has been very busy these days. He was busy calling Brother Tang to contact other brothers to come back for the wedding; he was busy returning to his hometown Jiashan Village to prepare the new house; and he was busy asking the elders of the clan to help host the wedding banquet.
Fortunately, he has turned over a new leaf in recent years and no longer steals things in the village. He also managed to get food back during the two most difficult years and saved the lives of many people in the village, so the villagers were still willing to help him.
The bride-to-be Han Guihua is the one with the most idle time. She thinks that she has nothing, so she can just wear the clothes her sister bought for her when she gets married. Although she will be laughed at and gossiped about without a dowry, so what? Just as my sister said, eat your own food, do your own thing, and let others say whatever they want.
In fact, Han Guihua was just too stubborn. Ma Youcai gave her all his money, not only asking her to keep it, but also letting her buy whatever she liked. She said she would only keep it after they got married.
Ma Youcai tried a different approach and gave her 500 yuan as a betrothal gift. She seemed to be shocked and said with a red face that she didn't want to get married. Ma Youcai was so scared that he used a bucket of saliva to coax her into silence.
So Ma Youcai no longer dared to give her so much money as a betrothal gift. I could only buy two big items, a bicycle and a watch, as betrothal gifts for Yi Ke, and also bought three sets of clothes: one for spring, one for summer, a cotton-padded jacket for winter, and a pair of red leather shoes. These were betrothal gifts, and Han Guihua couldn't refuse them, so she just blushed and said nothing. Ma Youcai came anxiously to ask what Han Guihua meant, but Ziyi kicked him away and scolded him for being stupid, saying that he didn't even understand the attitude of satisfaction.
Ziyi felt guilty about this because he did not give Yike a betrothal gift when he married her, let alone a set of clothes for spring, summer and winter. He only bought a few pieces of cloth to make them. Although I gave him gifts later, it wasn't as ceremonial as this one. I can only blame him for not understanding it at the time.
Yike and Ziyi called the Hanjiagou Village Brigade Headquarters again and asked their aunt to answer the phone.
"Who will call me? I don't have any relatives outside who can afford to call me." My aunt-in-law was a little nervous when she arrived at the brigade headquarters, fearing that something bad might happen.
"What are you afraid of? It's just a phone call, why do you have to be so scared? Come on, answer it quickly, it's Xiaocaoer calling." The captain put the receiver in her hand.
"Xiao Cao'er?" The aunt asked tentatively while holding the microphone.
"It's me, auntie. I have something to tell you. My sister Guihua is getting married."
"Is Guihua married? Is the other party a good person? What's his family like? Have you visited them? Is the mother-in-law easy to get along with? Don't just marry casually." The aunt asked anxiously.
"Aunt, don't worry. The man is an orphan. He is a good person. We all know him. He even came with us to rescue Sister Guihua last time. Don't worry."
"Oh, he doesn't mind, does he?"
"I don't dislike her. I just fell in love with her at first sight because I saw how pitiful and brave Sister Guihua was."
"That's good. I feel relieved. Xiao Cao'er, did you call me to tell me this?"
"Yes, my sister is getting married next Monday. I want to invite you and uncle to come and see her off, and I want my little cousin to be the escort boy. Do you have time on that day?"
"Okay, we'll go whether we have time or not. This is a big deal. Don't worry, we'll definitely go that day."
"Well, you have to come a day in advance. Go to the town supply and marketing cooperative to find a girl named Liu Baoer. She knows where my home is. Then you can just follow her."
"Okay, Liu Baoer, right? I'll remember that. Is there anything else? If not, hang up. You've said so much, and the phone bill must be high."
"It's alright, I'll hang up now."
Yike hung up the phone and thought about telling his aunt Han Guihua the news of her marriage and asking her to be the representative of the bride to send off the bride. His aunt readily agreed. I felt quite touched because this would delay me for at least three days, which meant I would not earn any work points for three days. Yike called Liu Baoer again to inform her. As soon as Liu Baoer answered the phone, she screamed, "Cousin, cousin Yike, I have good news for you. You really are my cousin."
Yike's ears were almost deafened by the noise, so he quickly moved the microphone further away from his ear.
"Cousin Yike, are you listening?" Liu Baoer asked.
"Listen, did your father call to ask?"
"I asked, and my aunt did give birth to twins. She said you are definitely hers."
"Oh, just because they look alike? There are many people who look alike. You'd better be careful when calling your aunt."
"How is that possible? Even if you look the same, you have the same birthmark, so it can't be fake."
"Ah, the birthmarks are all the same. You're talking about the one on my shoulder. When did you see it?"
"Hehe, my mother asked me to look when she doubted it, and my mother also saw it."
Yike was puzzled. He didn't even realize that they had seen the birthmark on his shoulder. They were too careless. However, it was not a secret.
"My mother is looking forward to seeing you every day. Where are you? We went to your house but couldn't find you. Aren't you at home?"
"Oh, you guys also went to my house. I'm not at home, I'm at my friend's house in the county town. My sister is getting married, do you want to come and play?"
"Yes, I heard that her parents and brother were all sent to labor camps. The bad guys finally got punished."
"Then bring a few people with me when you come. There are three people from my uncle's family. Buy their tickets and I'll give you the extra money when you come."
"What are you talking about? You still need to make up this little money. My mother has always wanted to see you, and I think she will definitely go to see you. And your biological mother and my aunt also said that they will come to meet you after they have arranged their work."
Yike couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand. Just when his fake mother was sent to labor camp, his real mother came again. She had just broken up with Yang Huaihua, and now here came someone who was her mother and daughter, so she was still a little nervous. She still doesn't know whether this biological mother is a good person or not, and whether she is another Yang Huaihua, so she might as well not acknowledge her biological mother.
Yi Ke asked Liu Baoer to bring her aunt along, and asked her to buy tickets for her and that she would give her the money when the time came. However, she was criticized on the phone, saying that as her cousin, she still had enough money to buy a few tickets, and that she looked down on her. Yike quickly surrendered and kindly reminded her that the phone bill was very expensive, and she reluctantly hung up the phone.
Alas, this cousin is such a chatterbox, I don’t even know this is a phone call, the phone bill is very expensive. She also told me the good news that her biological mother is coming to see her. Should she recognize her? Ike's mind was churning...
