pastoral fragrance

Chapter 361

After Qiulin returned to the village, he stayed in his yard all day long.

It's not as good as running around all over the mountains and plains on weekdays. She is a bride-to-be, or she stays in the house in a well-behaved manner.

In fact, the courtyard of Qiulin's family is also very lively now.

The peaches and plums in the front and back yards have already bloomed in the chilly spring, as if the strength that has been hoarded for the whole winter is bursting out in this early spring.

The delicate and beautiful flowers in full bloom, you push each other to crowd the branches, which is a lively scene.

At this time, the Han family and several women have already started to raise spring silkworms.

Carry the silkworm mulberries to the yard to dry in the sun, and hand over the places that have been bitten by mice, insects and ants to Xu Nanshan for repair.These silkworm winnows were used to raise silkworms last year. They were kept in the silkworm house for the whole winter, and they were taken out to bask in the sun and disinfected.

The first batch of chicks and ducklings hatched at home have been freshly out of the oven, with their yellow down, chirping and quacking behind the old hens and ducks for food.

Those two legs are as thin as something, but they are full of vitality. They keep crossing their feet and walking around in the yard without feeling tired.

One of the two yellow dogs kept at the head of the house was lying under a plum tree in the yard, and the other was lying in front of the door. They both stared at the jubilant chickens and ducklings with their dark eyes.

Qiulin stayed at home, and in the morning he helped pick up eggs and ducks, and fed the chickens and ducks. After breakfast, he took a small hoe to tend the onion, garlic, and Chinese cabbage in the vegetable garden, or tended the vegetables in the yard. those fruit trees.In the evening, I drove the chickens and ducks into the pen, and I enjoyed myself.

When he is free, Qiulin can't help Xia Yan.Thinking of his gentle smile and gentle voice, the corners of her mouth involuntarily raised.

Now the day of getting married is getting closer.She didn't have the anxiety and uneasiness of other women when they got married, but she was full of anticipation and urgency in her heart.

Under Qiulin's eager anticipation, her wedding with Xia Yan came as promised.

Everyone felt that this marriage was a little far away last year.But in a blink of an eye, the two of them got married and were close at hand, as if it was just a blink of an eye.

In a blink of an eye, the daughter she raised by herself was about to marry, although the Han family was already mentally prepared.But the closer to that moment, the stronger the reluctance in my heart.

After getting married, the daughter belongs to their Xia family, and can no longer stay at home like in the past.

The night before Qiulin's wedding, Mrs. Han tossed and turned on the bed, but couldn't sleep.In the end, he simply got up without lighting a candle, and just walked into Qiulin's wing like that, and lay down next to Qiulin when he touched the bed.

That night, the mother and daughter whispered for half the night. Han Shi usually didn't talk too much, but now he chattered endlessly like an old lady possessed.

Mrs. Han held Qiulin in her arms so intimately, and chattered nonchalantly.He talked a lot about how couples should get along with each other, how to deal with outsiders, and so on.

Although Qiulin felt that Mrs. Han was nagging and had to repeat her words several times, she still listened carefully.

Because the mother and daughter sleep in the same bed like this, there are really few opportunities to say intimate words so intimately.Now she is going to marry as a wife, without her mother-in-law to take care of her, she needs to be on her own.

The coquettish willfulness I used to have when I was at home has to be restrained.

Fearing that Qiulin would not have a long memory, Mrs. Han repeated these words several times.Only then did the private conversations between husband and wife begin.

Although Qiulin is a ray of soul from the 21st century, she also knows a thing or two about the affairs between husband and wife.Now that Mrs. Han said this, Qiulin felt very ashamed in his ears.

Hearing the embarrassing and difficult to deal with, Qiulin had no choice but to respond to Han's words with modal particles such as "uh, ah".

By the middle of the night, Han's energy had been exhausted.Qiulin also felt drowsy, and the two hugged each other and fell asleep so comfortingly.

The next day was the day when Qiulin and Xia Yan got married. This early in the morning, before the sun was up, people were already coming and going in the courtyard of Qiulin's house, and the sounds of people's voices and the sounds of chickens crowing and dogs barking were intertwined.

In Qiulin's room, many women and aunts had already gathered around Qiulin, smiling and chatting. Everyone was dressed in red and green, and they were very festive.

A pretty young daughter-in-law is applying yellow flowers to Qiulin's mirror, and another gray-haired old woman is combing Qiulin's black hair hanging down her waist. She combs it very slowly, muttering Blessings.

Although she has heard these auspicious words many times, when Qiulin heard "grow old together" and "full of children and grandchildren", her face still blushed for a while.In the past, she watched the girls in the village marry off one by one, and now it was her turn to marry.Qiulin couldn't help but feel emotional, it seemed that Feng Shui took turns.

After careful dressing up, Qiulin raised her watery eyes and looked at herself in the bronze mirror.

Although it can't be seen clearly, the general outline can still be distinguished.I saw the young girl in the mirror with red lips, white teeth, and fair complexion, and her meticulously painted eyebrows looked delicate and charming, which made people feel so beautiful.

This scarlet gown is the most suitable for skin color. Now Qiulin is wearing this scarlet wedding gown, but she feels that her skin is white and her clothes are red, and her temple hair is like ink. The red, white, and black are intertwined, so beautiful that she almost wants to go to bed. I held my breath.

Qiulin has never dressed herself up so meticulously. She has never put any makeup on her white and tender face. She finds it troublesome even with that hair. She either pulls it up in a bun or braids it at random. Simple and plain, she is even better than a village girl in the mountains. I also want a village girl from the mountains.

The neighbors in the village usually thought that Qiulin was handsome, but now after her deliberate dressing up, she became so beautiful that no one could ignore it.

An aunt exclaimed beside her, "Miss Qiulin is so beautiful and capable, Dr. Xia is really lucky to marry her!"

Mei Xiangniang couldn't help sighing as she looked at the glamorous Qiulin.She didn't expect that Qiulin, who had deliberately dressed up, would be so charming, so it's no wonder that she refused to look at her son differently.

It's just that my second daughter married the son of this family. If I let my youngest son marry the youngest daughter of his family, wouldn't it be a marriage exchange?

My family is not the kind that is too poor to marry a daughter-in-law, so why bother to do such a thing that people in the village and outsiders criticize.

Moreover, the folks in the whole village know that many of Xu Nanshan's family business was earned out of Qiulin's ghost ideas. Now Xu Nanshan is a well-known landlord in the village, and his family's life is not bad. They are wealthy, but they are still far behind Qiulin's family.

Marrying the daughter of this family, although the two of them will not say anything, outsiders will definitely feel that their family is clinging to Xu Nanshan's family.In this way, it will be a great disadvantage to the reputation of the youngest son!
Mei Xiangniang figured this out, and the regret on her face gradually turned into a smile.Looking at the smiling face in the mirror, she sighed: "Hey, time is really not forgiving, these days go by very quickly. I remember you were only so young at that time, but now you are about to get married. !"

Looking at Qiulin's young face in the mirror, Mei Xiangniang sighed with emotion, the days passed so quickly, it is said that time flies like an arrow!
Mei Xiangniang's words caused several other women and aunts in the room to sigh.

I feel that being a sister-in-law at home is just like yesterday and the past, but in a blink of an eye, all the daughters of this new generation have grown up and married.

Once upon a time, the handsome and young face in the bronze mirror belonged to him, but soon after, his temples were stained with white flowers, and wrinkles appeared on his forehead and brow.

At this moment, another woman in the room began to mutter: "Isn't it? I think I was a flower in this Luoshui village back then, but my beauty has grown old in a blink of an eye. Hey, this past is really unbearable to look back on!"

Qiulin looked sideways at the wrinkled old woman, with dark skin and white temples.Looking at it now, she is just an old woman, how can it have the meaning of a flower she said?

Unable to bear it, Qiulin burst out laughing.

Seeing that everyone was getting farther and farther away, the Xi Po couldn't help but stomped her feet, pouted and said, "Oh, it's going to rain as the old saying goes, and this girl is going to get married today, only when the weather is sunny Good! You better recite your old sayings some time later!"

While everyone was chatting and laughing, the sound of blowing gongs and drums had already come from the village.

At this moment, everyone heard the voice, and immediately pulled and held hands to arrange the clothes of the newlyweds, flat folds, and veils.Then he walked out of the house with the support of Xi Po.

Han's tearful eyes followed closely behind, and when she got outside the house, she burst into tears uncontrollably.

It seems that Qiulin was just a little boy yesterday, who would only act coquettishly after her.But in the blink of an eye, she has transformed into a big girl.

Originally, she was looking forward to marrying her daughter to Xia Yan, but at this critical moment, the reluctance in her heart hit her like a tidal wave, making her unbearable.She hugged Qiulin's arm and burst into tears.

When Han shi cried, Qiu Lin, who was still feeling a little sad in her heart, felt even more aggrieved and uncomfortable.Simply together with Han Shi, hugged together and cried until weeping bitterly and fainting!
Seeing the mother and daughter crying bitterly, Xu Nanshan felt as if a piece of his heart had been dug out.But he didn't shed tears after all, and said dully: "On this festive day, quickly put away the beads. It's not about life and death, it's just that Sier married and went to the town, so what's there to cry about?

Even though he said that, his heart was extremely sad and reluctant, but he couldn't help it.After all, a daughter's family is going to marry, so Qiulin can't be an old sister-in-law at home, can she?
