Without family, if you are used to living in this small place, there is really no need to go back.
After a while, she tentatively asked, "Did the Xu family give you a thank you gift?"
"No." Li Qinghe shook his head, "I didn't expect them to send it. I saw a person by the road in the morning, and I couldn't watch them die!"
Yu Yan thoughtfully, "It seems that the Xu family is really not good."
Li Qinghe agreed, and she didn't want to mention Xu's family. She smiled and said, "If you live in the village, you don't know anyone. There will be a happy event in the Zhou family in a few days. Would you like to help with me?"
"Okay." Yu Yan answered her accent, and teased her again, "Brother Thursday is a nice person. Haven't you been feeding fish these days?"
Most of them were fed by Zhou Chengkang.
Li Qinghe was not ashamed, and smiled and nodded, "I just check it every few days."
Everyone is now preparing for the New Year, and Li Fu is no exception. He often goes to town to buy with Qian, but she doesn't have to worry about these.
In the twinkling of an eye on the twelfth lunar month, the third son of the Zhou family married a daughter-in-law. As the new year is approaching, there are often happy events in the village. The wedding events in the Zhou family are still a bit special. For example, the bride is a girl from the town. In a family where she was born, she is different from the peasant girl who eats in the ground and takes care of her every day.
I heard that they have developed a body of ice and snow, and they never eat coarse grains. It seems that there is a woman waiting...
These are all heard.
On the big day, Li Qinghe went to help with Yu Yan early in the morning. She still chopped vegetables, and Yu Yan organized her. Although she was a little more relaxed, she did help. She also met many villagers in the kitchen. I was able to let go, joking and joking with everyone, and I quickly blended in.
Soon it was noon, and soon after the meal was ready, the bride arrived.
Everyone in the kitchen squeezed out to watch the excitement, and Yu Yan also took Li Qinghe out with interest.
Outside the gate of Zhou's house, the red sedan chair stopped, and Zhou Chengcai gestured to the crowd watching the excitement around him. There was a roaring noise inside and outside the courtyard.
Xi Po said auspicious words and waited for the bride to go down to the ground. Then she pulled the Xi silk and everyone joked and asked him to hold hands directly. This was not uncommon. Zhou Chengcai reached out to the sedan chair.
The crowd's roar gradually quieted as he waited. It was probably because the bride was shy, Xipo saw it, and hurriedly smiled, "His silk is tied together, the marriage is tied together, and we meet until the white head..."
The ending sounded so long, everyone laughed again.
At this time, it was already the second time, how the bride should get off the sedan chair, but after waiting and waiting, the bride still did not get off.
At this time, everyone found that something was wrong, and couldn't get down at the door. Is this unwilling to marry or what's the matter?
The woman next to the bride cleared her throat, and when everyone looked over, she smiled, "My master came from the county seat. The rule there is that when the bride gets married, the bride will get off the sedan chair. Sealed. The more red seals, the more you like this new daughter-in-law. They say that all parties have different customs. My master often misses his hometown. If this is too far away, he can only relieve his nostalgia by the rules of his hometown... The girl does not insist on this red seal, but wants to give her father the last bit of filial piety and ask her new uncle to fulfill it."
I don't understand why this red seal has something to do with Master Zhang's homesickness. This woman made a mess of things, but she meant it anyway, she wanted to get the red seal!
It's still fulfilled. If it is not fulfilled, will she not come down?
Zhou's mother was sitting in the hall, waiting to receive the newcomer's gift. Seeing that the situation was wrong, her maiden sister-in-law He cried quietly and told her.
Zhou Mu's complexion changed on the spot. Seeing her like this, the He family hurriedly pulled her sleeves, "So many people are watching, let's just fool things around before talking."
She hesitated, "But if you pack a red envelope, I'm afraid it won't work if you just pack the silver in..." That really doesn't work. People who often get money will know how much it has.
It doesn't matter if everyone packs it, if Zhou's mother has a lot of silver, it's okay, but this pack, so many people look at it, it doesn't work if it is less, and if it is more.
"It's better to find a lotus package, it's not that obvious?" He said that the more he felt feasible, "Yu Yan, the newcomer from your village, heard that the embroidery worker is good, and asked her for one."
After speaking, he got up and went out, found Li Qinghe who was watching the excitement in the crowd, and whispered the matter.
After Yu Yan listened, she tore off the purse around her waist, took out the dried flowers inside, and stuffed the empty purse to her.
He thanked Li Qinghe and smiled, "You are a sensible man, and my aunt likes you."
Li Qinghe was speechless, and when she ran away, she whispered, "Obviously it is your purse, like me?"
Take this to pack a red envelope. Needless to say, you know that the purse will come back.
Yu Yan couldn't help but chuckle.
When the red letter was delivered, the woman over there took it, and said with a smile, "There are three requests, one request!"
what happened?
Is this purse a please? Two more?
How can the He family tolerate this, "Although we have to marry a wife, we should follow the rules of a girl, but so many people are waiting, but we will miss the auspicious time. No matter how important this red seal is, how important is filial piety, it is not as important as the girl herself. Peace and prosperity are important for a lifetime, don’t you think?"
The last sentence was spoken to everyone, He's words fell, he secretly talked about Zhou Chengcai, and glared at him.
Zhou Cheng was willing, pulling hard, the bride was pulled out, he stretched out his hand to follow hers, and the crowd was booing again, and the couple walked in.
The bride was not happy, Zhou Chengcai whispered, "Yaoyao, it's almost done, so many people are watching, my mother can't bear the money, what if you make trouble again and freeze?"
Zhang Haiyao was anxious, pretending that he couldn't see the road clearly, and stomped him severely.
When everyone saw it, they didn't care about it. There was another laughter. Yu Yan took Li Qinghe to the table and said in a low voice, "You Sansao, there will be trouble in the future."
She voiced a little lower, "Just because there are such rules, can't you tell me in advance?"
Li Qinghe thought it so, just like the amount of dowry and dowry, which can be discussed in advance.
Besides, this family has moved to Luoyue Town for decades. Do you still remember the old rules?
There is no such rule here in Luoyue Town, and the Zhang family must know that they really want a red seal, so you can say in advance. As I said earlier, it's so good for Zhou's mother to take a red paper and seal it seriously. She didn't have to say it until the door, and she was caught off guard.
Zhou Jiayanke's food was not bad, and in short, it was nothing to say. After eating, Li Qinghe went to the pond. She had to feed the fish.
After the Zhou family celebration, it will soon be a small year. This year's food harvest is good, and Li Fu is in a good mood. In addition, this is the last year that Li Qinghe and Zhao Wanwan are at home.
Even if the wedding date has not been set, the two will set a wedding date after the Chinese New Year, and until next year, only Li Fu will be left to celebrate the new year together.
After eating, when Li Qinghe went to the pond to feed the fish, he saw that Zhou Chengkang was already there, and he was fishing for the fish. One fish weighed more than three catties. It was a medium size, and it seemed quite fat. It was years ago."
Feeding the fish seems simple. In fact, it takes a lot of trouble to run so far every day. Now that I can change money, Li Qinghe is very happy, "Then the day after tomorrow, and then twenty-eight."
The twenty-sixth of the twelfth lunar month is the last episode of a year ago. The town is generally more lively than usual, and there are twenty-eight and twenty-nine days, which is also very lively. On the thirty day, there was no one on the street.
So the two fished for a day the next day.
Take out ten barrels and go to town in the middle of the night. During the Chinese New Year, no matter what kind of meat will be more expensive, it usually sells fish for 13 or 4 cents, but now it can sell 18 cents. That's it, many people buy. People who are usually reluctant to buy fish are willing to be generous during the New Year. Because there were so many people, there was a circle of people in front of the stall, and the uncle who was selling fish on the opposite side was also surrounded, and he was very busy.
In the afternoon, Li Qinghe was cheaper again, plus a few blanched half-sold and half-free, more than two hundred fish sold out, and got 50 taels of broken silver and a box of copper plates.
The two returned to the carriage and counted. They had more than nine taels of silver, which was quite heavy.
The two looked at each other, with a smile on their brows and eyes, "I made it!"
Zhou Chengkang handed over, "Congratulations."
Li Qinghe was really happy, and gave a gesture in return, "Tongxi and Tongxi, this brother, here is your credit, how much do you share?"
Zhou Chengkang waved his hand, "Everything about me belongs to Xiongtai, no need or no need!"
I heard this, but it's no good whether it is divided. Li Qinghe divided him half and gave him the copper plate. "You can change it. I'd better take the silver."
Zhou Chengkang responded, "I will give you the silver after I change it."
Are you really planning to let her take care of the money? Li Qinghe looked at him suspiciously.
Zhou Chengkang smiled and murmured as he approached her, "I found that your eyes are shining when counting silver." His voice was full of smiles. He leaned close and his breath sprayed onto her face, a little hot.
"You said I got into the eyes of money?" Li Qinghe raised his eyebrows and reached out to push him, "What do you mean?"
The hands were held by a pair of warm hands, Zhou Chengkang squeezed, "It's not interesting, I just want to see how happy you are."
She has sharp eyes, which is much better than the cold tombstone of the previous life. Even now when he wakes up in the middle of the night, he still feels unreal. He has to go to the wasteland to look at the fish pond and look inside. When the fish was swimming, she felt that she was very close to herself, very alive, just where she could reach with her hand.
He squeezed her hand, suddenly wanted to get closer to her, and hugged her into his arms, "Qinghe, we are married, okay?"
He moved suddenly, and Li Qinghe's nose hit his hard chest. He was about to groan, when he heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, "I'm so busy now..."
Zhou Chengkang said eagerly, "The wedding date is set after the new year!"
It's the twenty-sixth of the twelfth lunar month. Is it possible that it could be years ago? Li Qinghe couldn't laugh or cry, stretched out his hand to hold his waist, and responded carefully, "Okay!"
The smell of fish in the car was full, and the smell of the two of them was also heavy. They hugged and didn't know who laughed first. Both of them laughed loudly.
Although the copper plates are relatively easy to use, they are too much. Li Qinghe leaned in the carriage to make up for sleep. Zhou Chengkang went to the bank to change by herself. When she woke up again, she was at the door of the house.
Zhou Chengkang touched her forehead, "Go back and rest earlier."
"You should also go back early and rest." She said, she jumped out of the carriage and said, "Fishing for the fish tomorrow, don't forget, let's go early and fish clean. When the spring begins, we can put the fry again."
Zhou Chengkang nodded, Li Qinghe remembered something, "Take a few fish to eat."
Zhou Chengkang laughed and nodded again, "Hurry up."
Li Qinghe stood at the door and watched his carriage go home. Turning around, he saw Zhao Wanwan standing in the yard and looking curiously, "My sister is back, how are your fish selling?"
"It's sold out." Li Qinghe only felt that his body smelled bad, and wanted to boil water for washing, and went straight into the kitchen.
Zhao Wanwan looked around her, and when she saw her entering the kitchen, she hurried to catch up with her, "Is my sister hungry? I left you a meal."
Li Qinghe waved his hand, "I'm not hungry, I want to wash."
Zhao Wanwan answered quickly, "I also boiled water for you."
Hearing that, Li Qinghe thanked him and took a bucket to fetch hot water. Zhao Wanwan stepped forward to help and asked with a smile, "Sister, did you sell a lot of money?"
Li Qinghe smiled, guessing that she would ask, "There must be five taels."
"Ah, so many." Zhao Wanwan looked surprised.
Li Qinghe reminded her, "I bought the fish fry at the beginning. It cost me five taels. I also fed all the bran during this period, and I also added wheat shreds. I bought all of them, and I haven't paid back yet."
Hearing that, Zhao Wanwan nodded, "Yes, but if I sell 50 taels tomorrow, I will definitely make a profit."
She helped her to fetch the water, and carried her to the water room, and poured a bucket of hot water on the ground, so that there was heat in the water room and it would not be so cold.
When Li Qinghe came out after washing, she followed her into the house again, "Sister, I want to discuss something with you..."
"Say." Li Qinghe wiped her hair at the dressing table. This girl usually likes to work, but she seldom follows along like this. She definitely wants something.
Zhao Wanwan looked at her back and tentatively said, "Sister, can I take your two fish?"
"What are you doing?" Li Qinghe asked smoothly.
She finished fishing yesterday, gave one to Li Quina, and brought two large ones back by the way. It shouldn't be finished yet.
Zhao Wanwan glanced at her again, her voice became quieter, "I want to send to the Hu family..."
Thinking of the girl helping her boil hot water, Li Qinghe nodded, "Tomorrow I will bring it back to you when I finish fishing."
She was so refreshed, Zhao Wanwan was very happy, got up and walked out, "I'll help you heat up the food."
The day was light outside, Li Qinghe got up and went to fish, Zhou Chengkang went directly to the door to pick her up, and Li Xingwang also came to help after dawn.
The three of them fished until it was dark, and finally it was almost the same. The rest is really hard to fish, and there is not much together, so they just keep it for themselves.
Looking at more than a dozen barrels of fish, Li Xingwang helped them get into the wagon and was also very happy. He asked, "You sold fish yesterday, and many people said that the business was good. Would you like to watch this night, will you be stolen?"
