Chapter 22 Before Marriage
The father and daughter, including Mr. Li who was sitting next to him, made a tacit agreement not to burn paper money for Tuesday Ya.It's like adopting a new life, and then you have to repair the graveyard.

Similar to trivial matters, they should always be done after the happy event.After chatting again about choosing a good day to hire someone to sew the wedding quilt, Zhou Shun quickly asked Zhou Banxia to go back to the room to rest early.

This time even Li agreed.If you don't look at it, in just two or three days, the three of her family have been working hard, stewing meat and chicken every day, and their chins are still sharp.

Considering that there would be fewer people coming and going at home in the next few days, Zhou Banxia did not refuse, and happily ended the activities of going out late at night to trample on the territory.

Just thin?

Looking in the cloakroom mirror, Zhou Banxia found that she was not thin at all.A girl of sixteen or seventeen is developing a little better than she was at the same time in her previous life.

I was in high school at that time, and I had to squeeze in time to work and set up a stall to make money. I suffered from a long-term lack of nutrition and my whole body was thin and shriveled.

Unlike today, the food in Gaofu is good, which not only makes her tall, half a head taller than the girls of the same age in the village, but also shows her curves.

Thinking that she had always felt weird wearing a bellyband in the past two days, Zhou Banxia found some fine cotton cloth and planned to make a set of changing linings and underwear to practice her skills.

While she was getting married, Gu Wenxuan also started to renovate the new house, trying to make the couple's family more comfortable with the existing conditions.

There used to be a utility room separated from the room, which was extremely cramped and had a faint musty smell. The cabinets, boxes and stools on the floor were also old.

This time, even the large fire kang made of loess mixed with wheat straw was dismantled. When the kang bed was installed, even the earthen stove was installed. Although it was small, it occupied a small area.

When Gu Erlang also put the earthen stove in his room, not only did there not be any quarrel, but all the other three rooms also agreed and did not support the objections of the second elder in the family.

Each and every one of them followed suit and set up an earthen stove in the house in the past few days.If we don’t have enough clay bricks at home, we have to borrow clay bricks from the village first.

The excuse that is consistent with the outside world is that there are many people at home, and it is cold and there is not enough hot water to drink.So it is very interesting that except for the two old rooms, the entire building is made of earthen stoves.

Perhaps the situation was over, and Gu Wenxuan found that the two elders didn't care how much he and Shiro struggled.As long as you don't ask them for money, you basically turn a blind eye.

A rare opportunity.

He quickly "borrowed" the clay and wood, and the cement workers and carpenters came to work, and he personally built a clean room against the inner wall and built a sink.

Seeing that the second elder still didn't respond, he rushed to the town and asked a paper painter to bring all the necessary materials and paper all the roof and walls of the east wing.

Otherwise, if the exposed roof of the house is not covered with mats, I will be really worried about sleeping well one night, and it will be scary if some insects or mice suddenly fall out.

Unfortunately, for various reasons, the roofs of the three rooms were all papered, but only his room was papered on the walls. His grandma asked him where he got the money.

Given by my father-in-law.

There is nothing left to say.

Looking for evidence from my father-in-law?
He and Banxia had already discussed it.

All the money that he couldn't explain clearly and couldn't explain the source was pushed onto his father-in-law.Banxia would privately tell her father-in-law that the family had not been separated yet, and it was hard for him to admit it.

on the contrary.

Ban Xia couldn't explain clearly, and all the money from unknown sources was pushed onto him.If he tries to communicate with his parents again, it's hard for his wife to tell the public that she actually has private money.

perfect.

It took another day, and this time he did it himself.Finally, I adjusted the door to prevent it from closing tightly, and painted the doors, windows, and cabinets.

The paint was dry, everything was sorted out for the new house, and it was the day before the wedding.

Getting married is a big deal.Early in the morning, the Gu family's yard was cleaned up, and lanterns and festoons were hung on red silk. A large, round red lantern was hung in front of the new house, and a bright red 囍 character was posted on the door.

Gu Silang's matchmaker accompanied the girl's uncle Fang and others to deliver the dowry, and the Zhou family's matchmaker then accompanied Zhou Banxiatang's uncle, uncle, and others to deliver the dowry at an auspicious time.

Who is early and who is late, there is no intention of overpowering who, it is just that there is order between the elders and the younger ones.Even if the eldest uncle of the Zhou family comes forward, the zodiac signs of other uncles conflict with the newcomer.

No one pays attention to whether the zodiac signs of the new couple are indeed in conflict with each other. If they are adopted in the next room, they will become a stranger. However, the dowry given by the bride of the two families has caused quite a stir in Qinghe Village.

According to common etiquette, the woman’s dowry must be displayed in the yard for a while, which is commonly known as showing off the dowry.

It was rare for Zhou Shushun to be generous, and Gu Silang's in-laws were not stingy either.The open space in the front yard of the Gu family is filled with dowry items from both families, and furniture takes up most of the space.

At this time, there is no way to know the authenticity except the amount of money in the box. It is extremely rare for a girl from a wealthy family in the countryside to have such a dowry.

Especially the Zhou family.

The first one was lifted up, and the six open pieces of adobe wrapped in red cloth represented six acres of dowry land. Everyone had basically heard about this.

Instead, there was no publicity at all about the second appearance. There were two pairs of silver jewelry on red cloth, and no less than ten pairs of silver, jade, and pearl earrings.

Then there are a pair of boxes and cages filled with clothing and shoes for all seasons, and several boxes and cages are also filled with fabrics, leather goods, and curtains. If they are placed out, they will not be stuffed back into the boxes.

hiss!
Add furniture and a quilt.

How many are here.

Zhou Laosi married a girl for the first time.

There are many people who have this idea, but no one has said it out loud.Some people still haven't come back to their senses, mostly because the big day will not cause trouble for the Gu family.

Gu Liulang's marriage alone is fine, and I can't praise it enough, but Gu Silang's Yue family also prepared a lot of dowry.After all, it’s hard to be embarrassed by the guests who came with dowry.

Although the Zhou and Gu surnames are occasionally dirty, at least in this village, even a small number of families with other surnames are still very united to the outside world and are determined not to bring bad luck to the village.

Seeing that more and more people came to watch the excitement, many people had already gathered on the courtyard wall, and the dowry had been laid out for a while. The two matchmakers tacitly ordered the people to move back to their new houses.

The crowd watching the excitement here has not yet finished, and the banquet that the Gu family is preparing to entertain the female guests and matchmakers who are bringing dowries has also begun.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the banquet was dismissed and the guests were sent away. Gu Wenxuan was about to go back to his room, but unexpectedly he was grabbed by a cousin as soon as he turned around at the door.

This cousin was his grandmother's nephew and Gu Silang's uncle, but looking back at his memory, he really didn't deserve his elder Gu Wenxuan.

People are divided into relatives and strangers.

understand.

But it's disgusting to deliberately step on his parents at every turn and use it to promote his brother-in-law and sister.In particular, he often made trouble in front of his grandmother, which made his mother suffer a lot.

In his memory, there is a scene where the other party said in front of his grandmother that his mother, the cousin-in-law, was still a beggar and did not understand the rules, and was beaten to the ground by his father on the spot.

"Excuse me, I have something else to do."

"Okay! It's not that bad. I can't look down on my poor relatives."
