Chapter 5 Getting married!



◎Fashionable newcomer◎

Aunt Jiang Che was a person who knew how to deal with things. She knew that her eldest sister-in-law was not satisfied with the marriage. In order to ease the atmosphere, she tasted the dish cooked by Wei Xuan and praised her generously: "Sister-in-law Wei, your daughter's cooking skills are really good. In my opinion, she is not much worse than the chefs in state-owned restaurants. My little Che will have a good time in the future."

"No way, Aunt Jiang, please don't praise her like that. If you like it, just eat more." Mother Wei's eyes narrowed with joy, but she still responded modestly.

Thanks to the delicious food on the table, the meal was a great success for both hosts and guests.

Section 4

The two families agreed to hold the wedding after the summer harvest when the weather is cooler in August, which is only about a month and a half away.

As for the betrothal gift, a lucky number of 600 yuan was chosen, plus a watch and two sets of clothes.

This is definitely the first of its kind in rural areas.

The Wei family members sent the Jiang family away with laughter and joy. As soon as they returned to the house, Wei San's wife stared at the gifts brought by the Jiang family, wishing she had a pair of X-ray eyes.

...

...

Wei's mother stepped forward and patted her eager hand away, took out a box of Daoxiangcun snacks, opened it and shared it with everyone to taste, and took the rest back into the house.

Mrs. Wei didn't care. She was very happy to have a bite to eat.

Wei Xuan also took a piece of sachima and ate it. She felt that it tasted much better than what she had eaten in her previous life.

Come to think of it, if there are materials, Shaqima seems to be able to make it. This is the benefit of living in an information-rich era. If you think about it carefully, she knows a lot of things.

In her previous life, she couldn't work due to her illness and could only read some books and watch videos every day.

She likes to watch videos of food bloggers and life bloggers, which make her feel healed and help her forget some of the unpleasant things in life.

The more you watch, the more you will learn naturally.

Of course, she had never tried most of these, but after this period of experience working in the kitchen and receiving praise from her family, she felt that she was quite talented.

Well, she can try it more in the future, maybe it can be a way to make money, but that will have to wait until she marries and moves to Beijing.

And now she has been put under house arrest by Wei's mother and cannot go anywhere except the house.

The reason was that after Wei's mother met Jiang Che, the future pretty son-in-law, she insisted that Wei Xuan had become tanned recently and was not as pretty as before.

In order to ensure that Wei Xuan would not be less fair and pretty than Jiang Che on the wedding day, he was now trying his best to cover Wei Xuan up.

They were even afraid that she would hurt her hands, so she was not allowed to get involved in kitchen matters. There was no other way, Wei Xuan could only stay at home and do needlework.

Fortunately, she lived like this most of the year in her previous life, so she was used to it.

Now I can also learn how to make clothes to pass the time, so I’m not bored.

The Wei family is one of the few families in the village that has a sewing machine, which was brought by Wei's second wife as a dowry. These days, Wei Xuan has been learning to use the sewing machine to make clothes.

The original body didn't know this either, so Wei Xuan asked Wei Ersao for help without any burden.

Although Wei Ersao is a strong-willed and calculative person, and her words are usually unpleasant, she is still very generous as long as it does not harm herself.

Especially since Wei Xuan's sister-in-law had married well, and thinking that she might need help in the future, she was generous in teaching her. She even asked Wei's second brother to carry the sewing machine into Wei Xuan's room to make it convenient for Wei Xuan to use it during the day, which made Wei Xuan feel a little embarrassed.

This action made Wei's mother look much better towards her.

Wei Xuan was deft with her hands, and she got the hang of it after just a few days of learning. She took out the new cloth that she and Jiang Che had bought in the city two days ago, and prepared to try making a set of clothes for herself, just in time to wear on her wedding day.

The main thing was that Jiang Che took her to the city to buy clothes that day. She looked for a long time, but she couldn't bear to buy the ones that were too expensive, and she didn't like the cheap ones. In the end, she had to buy two pieces of cloth.

I hadn't originally thought of doing it myself, but now that I have time, I won't bother others. I'll try it myself first. If it doesn't work, I can still ask Wei's mother for help.

Wedding clothes must be festive, so the top should be bright red with black stripes on it.

The first time Wei Xuan made clothes, she didn't plan to make any fancy styles, just a simple shirt, but she reduced a few stitches at the waistline, and made the sleeves into slim three-quarter sleeves that only reached a little below the elbows, which made it look neater.

As for the pants, they are even simpler, just black trousers, with the cuffs slightly modified to become straight-leg pants.

When Wei Xuan tried them on, she felt that although they were not tight pants, they made her legs look longer and straighter, which was very nice. However, this also depended on the original owner's good body proportions. Ordinary people would not have such an effect.

When Wei Xuan went out wearing this outfit, the eyes of several women in the Wei family were all fixed. In the past, they only thought that the sister-in-law was good-looking, but they had never felt it so directly. Today, they finally saw it. The bright red top made her face more charming, and she was like a flower when she smiled. No wonder she could find a good city man like her brother-in-law.

There is obviously nothing different about the clothes, but when she wears them, she looks lighter.

The waist is the waist, and the legs are the legs.

Mrs. Wei couldn't help asking, "Little sister, why does your dress look so good on you? I've bought similar fabrics before, but why is it so different from what you're wearing?"

Mrs. Wei, on the other hand, had sharper eyes and noticed the difference right away: "Little sister, your waist has shrunk an inch, and the sleeves are more fitted, unlike ours, which you can even stuff an arm in."

"Yes, sister-in-law, I didn't make the sleeves so wide just to look good." Wei Xuan said with a bit of embarrassment, and quickly explained: "But then I thought that if the sleeves were so tight, it would be inconvenient to work, so I made the sleeves a little shorter. You see, this way it doesn't affect the work."

Sister Wei stepped forward and took a closer look: "Indeed, this is both beautiful and practical. You are really smart, little sister. Why didn't I think of this?"

Wei Xuan was very happy that the clothes she made were recognized by everyone, and then she talked about the small changes she made: "I took in an inch on both sides of the waist, so that the hem of the shirt will spread out, and the waist and hips will be more obvious."

After she said this, the three sisters-in-law of the Wei family realized that it was true and surrounded her with questions.

Seeing this, Wei's mother stepped forward to chase them away: "Alright, alright, stop crowding around. The work outside is not finished yet. Go and work. It's almost time for dinner."

After everyone had left and only the mother and daughter were left, Wei's mother happily took Wei Xuan for two turns, feeling relieved.

Her daughter is getting married, and she is happy, especially in the past few days, when the old sisters in the village heard that she will soon have a son-in-law from the city, everyone was envious and their eyes were red.

But while she was happy, she also had a little worry in her heart! Her daughter had never done housework since she was a child, but she had also been a little spoiled by her and had never done any work. If she was to marry someone else, she would be far away from home, and she would be worried that her daughter would suffer a loss without her around!

Fortunately, after watching her for a while, the little girl seemed to have suddenly come to her senses. Not only is she a good cook, but she can also do needlework.

Now she doesn't have to worry about her daughter having a bad life after getting married.

Time passed peacefully in such a relaxed atmosphere. The day before Wei Xuan's wedding, her two cousins ​​from her uncle's family also came to see her off.

My second cousin Wei Yufu's family is from this village. I had heard from the villagers a long time ago that Wei Xuan had found a good marriage partner, but her child was sick recently and she hadn't had time to ask. Now that I have found the opportunity, I pull Wei Xuan aside to ask about it.

"Okay, stop asking me. Wei Xuan has to get up early tomorrow. I want to go back to my parents' home. Do you want to go?"

My second uncle's eldest cousin Wei Yue married far away and finally came home. She didn't want to waste time listening to her cousin's nonsense.

Wei Yu originally wanted to ask a few more questions, but since her eldest cousin had said so, she couldn't stay any longer and disturb Wei Xuan, so she had to leave the gifts she brought and go back with her.

The next morning, Wei Xuan was still asleep when his mother woke him up: "Hurry up and get up. If you don't get up, Xiao Che will be here soon."

Wei Xuan was woken up by her mother's loud voice. She had insomnia last night and was still very sleepy. She squinted her eyes to see the sky, complaining in her heart that it was still early.

Since she was already awake, she didn't want to stay in bed any longer. She answered and threw back the quilt and got out of bed. She put on the clothes that she had ironed yesterday and hung on the closet, and went out to wash.

Not long after she finished breakfast, her uncle, aunt and villagers who wanted to help came one after another. Seeing that there were more people, Wei's mother pushed her into the house and asked several sisters of the same generation to chat with her in the house.

Besides her, the other girls of her generation included her two cousins ​​who came yesterday, and two other girls from the same village who were about her age.

As for the relatives on Wei's mother's side, they seemed to have never been around. Wei Xuan didn't know the reason, and the original owner didn't remember them either.

The girls in the room were envious of the clothes Wei Xuan was wearing. When they heard that she made them herself, they all asked her for advice and planned to make one for themselves. They couldn't afford the ready-made clothes hanging in the shops in Beijing, but they could still afford a piece of cloth if they saved some money.

It was not until Jiang Che drove his car to pick up the bride that the girls ended the topic reluctantly.

Jiang Che was very impressive today. He was driving a car borrowed from the factory, and his friend also helped him borrow a jeep. I wonder how many people talked about him along the way.

He was seen walking out of the car in a fashionable bell-bottom suit and walking towards Wei's parents: "Dad, Mom, I'm here to pick up Wei Xuan."

"Okay, okay, you two must live a good life from now on." Mother Wei advised with tears in her eyes.

"Well, I'll go then."

It wasn't until Wei Xuan was pulled into the car by Jiang Che that she felt a sense of reality. She was really getting married in this era.

As Wei Xuan watched the Wei family's mud house getting farther and farther away, she began to feel reluctant to leave. Although she had not been there for long, she felt a motherly love from Wei's mother that she had never felt before.

Jiang Che was driving with high spirits. He turned around and saw his young wife crying. He asked in confusion, "Wei Xuan, it's a good day for your wedding. Why are you crying?"

After Jiang Che reminded her, Wei Xuan realized that she had actually cried. She came to her senses and quickly wiped her face: "It's okay, I'm just too happy." But in her heart she despised herself for going backwards.

Thinking that Jiang Che had seen this scene, she blushed again.
