I Wore It Back After 60 Years

Chapter 52 The First Wedding

After Cuihua left with her clothes in her arms, Li Xingxing frowned and looked at Li Xiuhong with a disapproving expression.

"Mother, why did you lend them your clothes? The thought of strangers borrowing my clothes to wear and returning them to let me continue wearing them makes me feel uncomfortable all over."

She has donated the discarded old clothes to the mountains, but those are gone forever and will not be worn again.

Li Xiuhong smiled and said softly: "That cotton jacket is very old. I originally planned to dismantle it and use it as a mattress, so I borrowed it. As for the jacket, take it back and wash it and dry it, we country folks. , it's not that particular. It's convenient for others and for yourself. Your uncle is the captain, and we have to integrate with everyone."

Most importantly, she was afraid that Cuihua would go out and gossip after she couldn't borrow clothes, saying that Li Xingxing was not good.

Although she is not as stubborn as Aunt Rong, Cuihua has a narrower personality, and her hands and feet are not clean. She has a good mouth. She led Li Xingxing to find her just by chance, which does not mean that she is a kind person.

Afterwards, Mrs. Li specially came to the door and gave a cabbage as a thank you gift.

Don't think that the cabbage is a light-hearted gift. If you didn't send that cabbage, everyone in the village would be able to hear her saying that she helped Li Xingxing find his mother, but the old Li family didn't say anything.

Li Xiuhong had already seen through this cousin in the next room.

Li Xingxing doesn't know the details of Cuihua, but she admits that she is not such a selfless person.

Of course, she knew the reason why giving roses to someone's hand had a lingering fragrance, but she had to consider the situation, some could do it, and some couldn't. For example, she could not do it if she borrowed clothes to recycle and put them on!

Soon it was the twentieth of the twelfth lunar month, and I didn't hear the slightest sound of a happy event.

The first wedding that Li Xingxing saw in this era had no banquet, no drumming, and no festivity. Not even children went to watch it. Instead, the crowd gathered in an open space at a fork in the sun to gossip and bask in the sun, making it even more lively.

The sun is very bright today, and she came out too.

The sun is shining on the body, the whole body is warm, and calcium is supplemented!
The only trouble is that everyone always loves to pester her to ask questions and ask all kinds of things in the city.

Li Xingxing was trying to find a reason to go home, when he suddenly found a girl younger than himself wearing Li Xiuhong's old cotton-padded jacket and dark red gown, led by Li Sandan from a distance, empty-handed, with a pair of straw on her feet clogs.

The ice and snow have melted, and it has long since been integrated with the land as silt. It is extremely inconvenient to walk with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

This girl is very thin, not tall, dry and thin, her skin is dark and yellow, very rough, her hands and face even have frostbite, her brown hair is sparse and sparse, and she has two thin claw braids, which looks like a padded jacket. And the dark red gown is empty, like a sack, and his eyes are full of expectations for the future.

"Sandan, have you brought your daughter-in-law back?" someone asked.

A smile appeared on Li Sandan's dark face: "Yes, I have married a wife."

I took my daughter-in-law to recognize people, said hello to everyone, and then brought her daughter-in-law directly into the house, leaving a place to talk.

"Cuihua played a good abacus, without spending a penny, just a basket of sweet potatoes was exchanged for a daughter-in-law!"

"No way, my daughter-in-law's family is broken, that sweet potato is life-saving!"

"Marrying into our village means that there is a way to live. Many girls from other villages are willing to marry in. Our village has no rice or flour, but sweet potatoes are enough!" Dalizi Village is all mountainous and rich in sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes are drought-tolerant and productive. High, filling the stomach is not a problem.

Someone immediately replied: "Thanks to the captain, in the spring, instead of listening to the bullshit that we have a variety of wheat and rice, we encouraged everyone to grow sweet potatoes and corn. If we were to grow wheat and rice, we would be hungry and fleeing everywhere. The Red Star Brigade, who planted rice in the spring, had a bad harvest, and planted wheat in the fall, but when there was a drought, they couldn’t get the relief food, and the whole village was empty.”

"Yeah, thanks to the big pillar."
