Chapter 35: marriage

Qian was crying over there, not howling, but the kind of whispering and grieving voice.
Li Qinghe was a little irritable, but Zhao Wanwan stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Mother, what happened?"
It was surprising that she would stand up. The girl basically bowed her head when the two quarreled in the past and went out to hide.
Qian cried so sad that Li Fu leaned on the chair and seemed to fall asleep and ignored him. He felt embarrassed and couldn’t get off the stage. He heard his daughter’s questioning, and said,
Your uncle wants to Go to the county town with Yanxi to participate in the county test. Your uncle will marry a daughter-in-law after the New Year, and they can’t get the money. Your grandfather and grandmother are too old and can’t make it. Go back today, and talk to your father. He borrowed some, and it turned out..."
Having said that, I couldn't say anything further, and I was crying even more on the table.
Zhao Wanwan's face was a little pale, "How much money does Uncle want?"
Qian glanced at Li Qinghe, "At least 50 taels, more if possible, poor families and rich roads."
Li Qinghe noticed her gaze and turned to go out with a teacup and teapot. He wanted her to make money and dreamed faster. Besides, from the perspective of how much money can be spent on the town for a long time, it is not enough.
"Five Liangs?" Zhao Wanwan exclaimed, and then she heard her low voice, "Where is my dowry?"
The voice was low and inaudible, if it weren't for Li Qinghe to listen to it deliberately, it would be inaudible.
What does this mean is that Li Fu has agreed to give Wuliang a dowry?
"Your father is an iron cock." Seeing Li Fu fell asleep on the chair, Qian said angrily, "It was because he refused to give you a dowry, I told him to give your uncle. In case your uncle If it is successful, you can put the land under his name and save food tax."
Li Qinghe couldn't listen anymore and went into the kitchen to wash the cups.
Her impression of Uncle Wanwan was that she asked Qian at the gate of the courtyard that morning to get money, and she looked like a half-naked woman hanging around the gate of the town that afternoon. If such a person can pass the exam, there will not be so few talents in this world.
When Qian was crying enough, Li Fu hadn't woken up over there, so angrily, she went back to the room by herself.
It was getting late and Li Fu hadn't been awake. Li Qinghe thought for a while and took two quilts to wrap him up. It would be more troublesome if he got sick.
When wrapping the quilt, Li Qinghe raised his hand. The intention was to let him hold the quilt and not slide it down. Who knew this action, Li Fu woke up. After scanning the room, he pinched his eyebrows, "I'm asleep? Where's your Aunt Qian?"
"I got angry and went back to the room, but never came out." Li Qinghe couldn't build it and asked, "Father, are you going to sleep here or go back to sleep?"
Li Fu waved his hand, "I'll go to bed, and you will go to bed earlier..." Thinking of something, he asked again, "When did Zhou Jiati get married?"
"not yet."
Li Fu nodded, "Don't worry, you can get married at the end of the year."
At first I decided to remind you every day, but now you are not in a hurry?
Probably I think that no matter how much you urge, you can't be before Zhao Wanwan.
When Hu Yanxi came in the morning, he said that he wanted to set the wedding date on the 16th of the first lunar month. Tomorrow Hu Mu will personally bring Xipo to the door again, and the marriage will be decided.
Sure enough, Hu Mu came to the door with a gift early the next morning. Qian's eyes were still a little swollen, but he was smiling. He accepted the gift, and it was the wedding date. Then he talked about the dowry, "I will give Wan Wan I have prepared four quilts and four pullovers. I have everything I should have."
The words were nice, Hu Mu was quite satisfied and glanced at Xi Po.
Xi Po understood, got up and smiled, "Just laugh, I drank too much tea, I will go out for a while."
Li Qinghe is standing in the yard sewing fish pockets. The fishnet is broken. He has been busy for the New Year these days and has no time to clean up. Xi Po walked to her and asked with a smile, "This is a fish pocket, right? I heard that you made a lot of money by selling fish this year."
"There is indeed a lot of silver, but you have to scrape off the fry and fish food, plus you usually die, and you make some money. It's similar to doing a part-time job." Li Qinghe smiled and looked good.
Not long after standing, Mother Hu came out of the house, very happy, and smiled at Li Qinghe, "I will be relatives in the future, but I need more contact."
I sent them away together. When I turned around, I saw Qian’s face with a smile, and only listened to her sigh,
I have to dowry for five or two. Your father will not agree to this marriage...
She shook her head,
Qinghe, this You can let Wanwan help you get the fish pocket. You should rest a few days after you were tired."
If she hadn't listened to Xu's explanation of the origin of the marriage, she would be so worried during this period of time, and Li Qinghe would have to believe that it was Hu's dowry. Hearing this, he refused, "I don't need it in a hurry, I just sew it all right."
The next step was silence, the atmosphere was awkward, Li Qinghe moved naturally, as if he didn't notice it. Li Fu came out of the house, "You all come in, I have something to say."
As soon as I walked in, I saw five taels of silver on the table. Zhao Wanwan took a peek at it several times. Qian's smile was all over his face, and he reached out to tear down the snack that Hu's brought, and took a piece of it and handed it to Li Fu, "What a taste."
Li Fu didn't answer, and pointed to the 50 taels of broken silver on the table, "I planned to do it before. The two girls prepare 50 taels of dowry. You can divide them. In a few days, it will be the wedding day, and I will give it to you. Coming out of the cabinet can be regarded as all the love of our father and daughter."
He looked at Li Qinghe again, "Take your own, and prepare your dowry when the time comes. Don't give up too little."
After hearing what he said, the mother and daughter of the Qian family were stunned. So they only had half the money?
After a quick reaction, Qian held the dim sum and looked at the silent Li Qinghe, "Qinghe, you have ten acres of land, and the money you earn from selling fish this time, shouldn't you lack this?"
Probably they had been prepared long ago, four whole pieces, and two small ones. Before Qian's words were over, she reached out and took her own half, "No matter how much it is, it's Dad's mind. Thank you Dad."
Li Fu waved his hand and said, "You will all live your life well in the future."
"Qinghe, you are not short of this talent, can you lend it to Wanwan, and she will pay you back." Qian was anxious, "When anyone doesn't take advantage of it, your two sisters should have taken care of and supported each other..."
"This is Dad's intention." She emphasized, "You robbed my dad, and now you have to take this even?"
"No one is allowed to make this idea of ​​silver!" Li Fu looked at Qian with a solemn warning, "It's the Wanwan share, so don't move, if you let me know that her money has not fallen into her hands, Don't blame me for going back to Qian's house."
He almost explicitly said that he was not allowed to give to the Qian family. Qian's thoughts were exposed, and he became more and more annoyed, "My father and mother raised me for a while, now I marry you to take care of you, can't you help them share their worries?"
Li Fu frowned slightly, "What can't you say? I marry you, so your betrothal gift is not missing. As parents, a daughter received two betrothal gift, it should be content. How much respect is my business , They want to ask me how much, it's impossible!"
Hearing the two dowry gifts, Qian's face instantly turned pale, "You still blame me. Why did the two dowry gifts come from? I want them to take one. That was your Li family's refusal! Later... I didn't. Please marry me, and now embarrass me like this in front of the children..." I couldn’t say any more, threw the snack on Li Fu, and ran out with his face covered. Then I heard her enter the door next door and slammed again. Shut it off with a sound.
Zhao Wanwan was so frightened that she bowed her head and dared not say a word, and took her hand that had already touched the silver.
Li Fu blacked his face and patted off the scum on his body. Seeing her cautious appearance, he calmed down, took the silver and stuffed it into her hand, "You take it yourself, your mother... In her eyes, no one is anxious. Her brother is important, you are also old, you have to take care of yourself..."
After the Chinese New Year, after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the villagers began to pick up the weeds, and waited for the weather to get warmer and planted them. Li Qinghe opened the land last year and will also plant this year. However, she does not plan to continue to open up wasteland and go with Zhou Chengkang. Circle the place where you plan to feed the chickens and cut out a piece of land, plan to build a chicken pen, in case of rain, also let the chickens have a place to hide from the rain.
Chopping weeds is very tiring, especially this kind of weeds in the wasteland. During the period, when I stopped to drink tea, Zhou Chengkang looked around and said, "Actually, you should build a shack and live here and watch the chickens and the fish."
Li Qinghe really started to think about the fact that there are very few people who steal chickens and dogs, but if there is no one to look at the large group of chickens here, there may be someone stealing it.
As a result, the two of them did the same job again, and built an extra shack to live in, between the pond and this side.
As soon as the ground was cut out, it was Zhao Wanwan's wedding. No matter how busy these two days are, I have to make room. It was very lively early in the morning. In fact, the Qian family had been there the first day, but Li Fu was very busy. He was busy cleaning the front yard and the back yard, and ran to repair the door. The members of the Qian family were left to receive by the Qian family, and Li Qinghe consciously did not move forward.
On the second day, many people came in early in the morning. In fact, it was far more fun to marry a daughter than to marry a wife. Li Qinghe still went to the kitchen to chop vegetables, and all the reception of guests was left to the Qian family. Her own daughter got married and was unhappy. , With a smile on his face.
It was almost noon when Hu Yanxi was surrounded by a group of young people, who seemed to be gentle and polite. He had a blue gown, which should be his classmates. Qian Laiwen was among them. He coaxed and welcomed the bride away.
When the welcoming team left, the seats were also opened outside. Qian looked at the direction of the disappearance of the sedan chair and wiped his tears. Li Fu also stood melancholy for a long time.
The two girls were supposed to send Zhao Wanwan away. Qian directly found them from her parents’ family, but did not ask Li Qinghe to send them. She did not move forward and watched the sedan chair leave. She just wanted to wait for the guests to finish their meal and leave. Clean the yard afterwards.
After Zhao Wanwan left, she didn't know whether Qian's lack of love to work would be better.
An hour later, the villagers finished their meal, helped to clean up the dishes and chopsticks on the table, and took their own things away. When the people walked almost, there were only tables and melon seeds all over the ground. shell.
Qian's clutched his chest, "I am uncomfortable, go back and lie down for a while." He staggered and entered the door.
In the yard, Yu Yan stayed until the end. Seeing this, she couldn't help but sneak a glance at Li Qinghe's speechless expression, approaching her and lowering her voice with a smile, "I won't really leave you alone? I'll help you."
Just at this moment, Li Fu came in from outside. He was going to return other people's things. He saw the two girls holding broomsticks and glanced around and didn't see Qian, so he frowned, "Where is your Aunt Qian?"
