Chapter 39

When Zhang Zelin saw people who were swearing by it, he didn't discourage the good idea of ​​the wife-owner, but he secretly thought that if the wife-owner didn't know how to manage the fields, it would be a big deal for him to do more work.

After Fang Qing and his wife returned home, they didn't go there again. She went to the vegetable garden with a hoe to tinker with boredom.

In the evening, Zhang Zelin fed the cattle and horses, and asked his wife to carry the cattle and grass to the kitchen. He would chop up the needed grain and grass in advance tonight, and tomorrow his younger siblings would come over to watch the cattle for him, so they would not have to chop any more.

Fang Qing looked at the man who chopped the grass. "Brother Lin, why are you preparing the cow grass now?"

"Tomorrow my aunt will drive our ox cart for a visit, and the calf will be left at home. I will ask Ange and Sanmei to watch over it, and we must chop up the grass in advance."

Fang Qing listened to her husband, and she came to help chop and wait until it was completely dark after work.

After breakfast in the morning, Mrs. Zhang took her family to her granddaughter-in-law's house.

"Girl Qing, Brother Lin, have you two settled it?"

Fang Qing heard grandma's voice, she looked at the group of people at the door, and saw her father-in-law, two uncles, two cousins-in-law and cousin-in-law, and four children and her husband, brother-in-law and sister-in-law beside her.

"Grandma, everything is packed, just waiting for you to come over."

When Zhang Zelin heard his natal family came, he hurried out, "Grandma, grandpa, dad, aunt, aunt, cousin, cousin, brother-in-law, brother-in-law, you are here."

After greeting several people, he took his younger siblings to the living room. "Second brother, third sister, I'll chop the cow grass and put it in the kitchen. You two will feed it to the cows later. There are some candies and fruit cakes on the table. These are bought by your brother-in-law. After we leave, you two can take them and eat them yourself." .”

Here Zhang Zelin is explaining to his younger siblings, Fang Qing and Zhang Meng outside have already driven the car, waiting for Zhang Zelin to explain to his younger siblings.

Zhang Zelin came out and sat in his carriage under the arrangement of his wife.

"Brother Lin, you put the gift on the ox cart, and you take grandparents, father, uncle, uncle, brother-in-law and brother-in-law to the carriage." Fang Qing smiled and said to several women after arranging the men: "Auntie, Second aunt, cousin, cousin, let's drive outside the car!"

Several people have no objection to Fang Qing's arrangement, they are women, how can they compete with the men.

Mrs. Zhang saw that there were sons-in-law, grandson-in-law and great-grandson in the carriage. How could she sit with them as an old woman? After they got into the carriage, she ran to the carriage door to drive with her grandson-in-law.

Seeing the old lady's appearance, Fang Qing couldn't let herself laugh. She thought that the old lady would let her take the carriage when she was old, but she didn't expect the old lady to be embarrassed and embarrassed to sit.

Zhang Meng and Zhang Renyi took their three daughters, carried a few little girls into the ox cart, and the group went to Lijia Village in a mighty manner.

Lijia Village is a bit far from Zhangjia Village. It takes two hours to walk there, half an hour to drive a horse-drawn cart, and an hour and a half to walk for a slow-moving ox cart.

When the group of them arrived at Lijia Village and the entrance of the village, the villagers of Lijia Village became lively, and some women even discussed it.

"Hey!... Aren't the people in the carriage and ox cart the mother-in-law and three sisters of Mr. Li's family?"

"Yes, it's Li Laosan's natal family, but when did her Yue's family have a carriage?"

When Mrs. Zhang heard people discussing their family at the intersection, her wrinkled face was full of smiles.

Zhang Haifeng was wondering why his natal family hadn't come yet, and whether there was any delay, and was thinking about the two cars he saw coming from the entrance of the village.

"Sister Ying, follow me to pick up your grandma and aunt."

Li Ying also saw two cars driving towards their house, and heard her father say that grandma and aunt had arrived, so she followed behind her father to meet grandma and grandpa.

Li Laosan just came over from the kitchen and saw Fu Lang's daughter who ran out. She heard the people next to her say that Fu Lang's family had come.

"Mother, father, eldest sister, second sister, brother-in-law and brother-in-law." Zhang Haifeng trotted out to meet the group of people who had parked the car and got out of the car. He choked up and called his family members.

"Father, Brother Feng, don't cry, you can't cry today!" Mrs. Zhang just saw his second son when he saw the child's eyes blurred with tears, he was so heartbroken!Suddenly it hurts.

"Well! I'm not crying, I'm just happy to see you all here!"

Li Laosan came out after her husband's daughter, and when she saw her mother-in-law and her party, she quickly stepped forward to take her mother-in-law and the others to the house.

A few men from the Zhang family took gifts for their nephew from the ox cart, held the hands of the children, and followed their own women into the uncle's house.

After Fang Qing arrived at Li's house, she waited for Zhang Zelin and his men to come in, and she and Zhang Meng's women took the things from their husbands and went to the door to greet them.

The woman who registered to accompany the gift saw Li Laosan's wife's family coming, and said with a smile: "Sisters are here!"

Zhang Meng is the eldest sister, and she must be the first to speak out in this kind of occasion. After the other woman finished speaking, she continued: "This eldest sister has worked hard. This is our gift. Can you please write it down?"

Fang Qing saw the gifts on the side, including chickens, geese, ducks, and some grain. She saw that Zhang Meng and the others had given cloth and a sling of copper coins.

She and Zhang Zelin discussed it last night. If they bring money and cloth with them, she will give half taels of silver when they present. If Zhang Meng and the others only bring the same, then she will give cloth. If someone gives cloth and money, she must give the same.

"This sister is a face-to-face! Which family are you from?" The woman who kept the account was the village head of the Li family village. Seeing Fang Qing's generous spending, she asked Fang Qing.

Zhang Ren laughed loudly when he heard the other party's words. "This sister doesn't know my niece and daughter-in-law. This is my second sister's eldest daughter-in-law."

Seeing that she didn't know anyone chatting with them, Fang Qing went back to sit beside the old lady. As for Zhang Zelin and the others, they had already gone to the groom's room to accompany him.

Before Fang Qing sat down, he heard the sound of thunderbolts and firecrackers at the door, and then saw a tall woman walking in first.

After the woman came in, Li Ying went to the room to recite her brother and say goodbye to her parents.

It didn't take long for the groom to eat. Fang Qing looked at the meals on the table. There were two meats, one was stewed and the other was fried. The other four dishes were all green vegetables.

Seeing that Zhang Haifeng's family was busy everywhere after dinner, they said their goodbyes and left. After they left, the woman who kept the books of Li's family gave the bride price received today to Li Laosan and his wife.

The youngest Li was illiterate, and was listening to her aunt read to her. When she read to her husband's natal family, she was surprised that the three sisters came with a lot of gifts. Each family came with a sling of money and a piece of cloth. It's fine to come with such an expensive gift, but I didn't expect that the dead second sister's family also came with the same gift, and brother Lin's nephew and his wife brought a piece of green cloth and half a tael of silver.

Listening to his aunt's name on the side, his eyes were red and red, because he had been holding back his tears because of his aunt.

He and his wife had two sons and a daughter. When his son got married, what he worried most about was being tortured by his father-in-law in the public house. So many people from his natal family came this time, which can be said to support his son.

Fang Qing and his party returned to Zhangjiacun from Lijiacun at You hour (17:00-19:00 p.m.), and Zhang Zean hurriedly opened the gate when he saw his relatives coming back.
