Small peasant girl

Chapter 12
Although the wedding banquet is simple, the quantity is very large, and each portion is served in a small clay pot.

During the cooking, the neighbors who have a good relationship with Lao Su's family also came to help.

But this meal can be prepared by a few mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law of Lao Su's family, and Ponzi didn't let them do it.

Chenjia Village is not far from Sujia Village, but they still have to pick up the new wife there, so it was almost noon before the bride was picked up.

The bride is covered with a red hijab, sitting on a bullock cart and wrapped in a big red quilt.

At the gate of Su's house, the ox cart stopped, and Da Lang and Er Lang had already lit firecrackers.

After the two firecrackers were lit, Su Yunkang picked up his new wife and sent her to the main room.

The auspicious time has come, and the newlyweds worshiped heaven and earth and entered the new house.

Su Yunkang picked up his hijab, drank a cup of wine, and went out to entertain guests.

The new daughter-in-law stayed in the house, and several sisters of the Su family also stayed in the house with the new daughter-in-law.

The new daughter-in-law's name is Chen Sanniang, she is pretty good-looking and capable, but she is dumb.

What a pity!

Su Jinxia thought, if this Chen Sanniang is not dumb, she will definitely find a good home just based on her appearance.

But it's also thanks to her being dumb, otherwise it would be difficult for Su Yunkang to marry a wife.

Although Chen Sanniang was a newlywed, she was not shy when she came to the Su family to sit on the kang, she kept smiling and looking at the Su family sisters standing under the kang.

He reached out and patted the kang, motioning for them to sit on the kang.

Because he didn't know if the six tables would be enough for the wedding banquet, Pang ordered the sisters not to sit at the table early in the morning.

Wait to see if there are any vacant seats, and if there are, she will call them again.

So there's nothing to do right now, and it's cold in the room, sisters, you look at me, and I look at you.

Su Jinxiao was the first to get on the kang, and seeing her on the kang, Su Jinfang and Su Jinlan also followed her on the kang.

Su Jinxia was the last one to go to the kang, and she sat next to the bride.

Then he took Chen Sanniang's hand naturally, and said with a smile, "Fourth aunt is really pretty."

When Su Jinxia said this, Chen Sanniang blushed and smiled.

Su Jinxia wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Su Jinlan.

"It's just a mute, what's the use of being good-looking."

When she said this, several people in the room looked unhappy, especially Chen Sanniang.

Su Jinxia obviously felt that her hands were stiff after hearing Su Jinlan's words.

"Fourth sister, if you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb."

Patting Chen Sanniang's hand to comfort her, Su Jinxia looked at Su Jinlan and said angrily.

"What kind of thing are you? Why do you teach me a lesson? A sick child who is about to die, a loser who loses money, what right do you have to say about me! Besides, she is already dumb, so let's not let people say that she is dumb. You Take it easy!"

Hearing Su Jinxia praise Chen Sanniang, Su Jinlan was just complaining.

Unexpectedly, Su Jinxia was reprimanded.

What kind of person is she, Su Jinxia, ​​who dares to train her.

Su Jinlan's chest suddenly rose, and she pointed at Su Jinxia and cursed.

"Fourth sister, can you be polite when you speak, what do you mean Sanya is a sick child who is about to die, and a loser who loses money. Can you say what you say, anyway, Sanya is also your sister. And fourth aunt, Although she can't speak, she is not deaf, so if you say this, it will touch your heart, and you don't know how my aunt taught you on weekdays."

Seeing Sanya being scolded, Su Jinyue couldn't sit still.

Seeing Su Jinlan's relentless look, Su Jinyue scolded angrily.

"You don't need to worry about how my mother taught me. They are sick and dumb. I'm happy to say."

Seeing that Su Jinyue was also talking to her, she glanced at the big girl who was sitting silently by the side.

Su Jinlan was even more angry, and instantly pointed the finger at Su Jinyue.

"Second sister forget it, why bother with her, don't bother fourth aunt on the day of great joy."

After Su Jinlan finished speaking, Su Jinyue's face turned even darker.

He opened his mouth and was about to curse back, but was stopped by Su Jinxia.

Chen Sanniang has been sitting there watching, with tears in her eyes.

It is estimated that if they continue to quarrel, they may cry.

That's why Su Jinxia stopped her.

Seeing this, Su Jinyue didn't dare to curse back, and gave Su Jinlan a look before giving up.

And Su Jinlan probably knew that today was a day of great joy, so she didn't dare to make the bride cry, or Pang Zi, so she muttered dissatisfiedly and shut her mouth.

For a while the room was quiet.

Su Jinxia comforted Chen Sanniang while holding Chen Sanniang's hand, while secretly feeling her pulse with her fingers.

After touching it, Su Jinxia quietly withdrew her hand, having a conclusion in her mind.

Chen Sanniang should be suffering from dumb disease, not like she was born unable to speak.

This situation should be curable, but the medicinal materials for treatment are too expensive, and it is estimated that even if the family is sold, they cannot afford the medicinal materials for treatment.

What's more, acupuncture and moxibustion are needed to assist in the treatment, so Su Jinxia intends to treat her, but there is nothing she can do at the moment.

After a moment of silence in the room, Pang Zi came over and asked Su Jinxia and the others to come to the table for dinner.

There are not so many rules for getting married in the countryside, so when Pang came here, he still had food in his hand, probably because he was afraid that his new daughter-in-law would be hungry.

The wedding was busy until dark. The family cleaned up the dishes, and then sent the borrowed tables and stools door-to-door.

Dinner was the leftovers from lunch, but Pangzi was probably in a good mood, so he fried the leftover pork belly.

After dinner, each family dispersed.

Early the next morning, it was the day when Chen Sanniang recognized her relatives.

She got up early to prepare meals, and then recognized her kiss at the dinner table.

Recognition of relatives is to introduce all the people in the family to Chen Sanniang, so that Chen Sanniang can recognize their faces.

When recognizing relatives, the elders in the family have to prepare gifts.

Pang and Mr. Su each wrapped a big red envelope for Chen Sanniang.

Dafang Zhang prepared a piece of muslin ruler, which gave Chen Sanniang enough face.

Mrs. Liu prepared a pair of pillow covers, embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water, the bright red ones are very festive.

This gift is not much lighter than a ruler of muslin.

Sanfang was rather picky, and only took a purse and a handkerchief.

In addition, Wang's female celebrity is really not good, so she was caught by Pang and scolded a few times.

After recognizing the relatives, I returned home in three days.

On the day of returning home, Pangzi was not stingy, he prepared a bamboo basket full of things for Chen Sanniang and Su Yunkang, and caught two live chickens for them to take with them.

Day by day, under the suppression of Ponzi, the life of the whole old Su family is quite stable.

Although Chen Sanniang is dumb, she is capable.

Originally, the cooking and laundry in the old Su's house were done in turn by the four households.

But Chen Sanniang always helps this one and that one, because the work is not heavy, and Ponzi doesn't stop her.

In this way, Chen Sanniang soon gained a firm foothold in the old Su's house.

It's the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, and it looks like the New Year is coming.

Everyone in Old Su's family got busy.
