Chapter 248: Big Wedding (2)
"It's okay, your third brother, I am young and strong, I am not afraid of being tired, and Xiaobao has always been very good, so I don't have to work too hard at night." Gu Sanlin said indifferently.

"That's how it is." Gu Xiaobei nodded with a smile, Xiaobao is indeed more obedient, especially now that he is one year old, and he doesn't cry much at night, so she is also relieved to give Xiaobao to Gu Sanlin to take care of at night.

Gu Xiaobei pointed to the box on the ground: "Why did you bring the box here?"

"Little sister, there are many people in the family today, and we have to go into the warehouse to find things to use. It is inconvenient to store the dowry in the warehouse, so we will carry the dowry to your house first, and we will carry it together when we send the dowry." Go to Bai's house." Gu Datian said with a smile on his face, and then said to Gu Sanlin: "There are still a few boxes, let's continue to carry them."

"it is good."

Brothers Gu Sanlin and Gu Datian went to the warehouse to carry the dowry for Gu Xiaobei, and then went to work on other things.

After they left, Gu Xiaobei looked at the stacked boxes on the ground, and when he looked carefully, he found that there were twenty bags!The countryside is already relatively poor, so we can’t prepare dozens of dowries for our daughters like the big families in the city when they marry their daughters. In the countryside, it’s good to have three or four dowries, and some families even only do two.So Gu Xiaobei's twenty dowry is really a lot.

Gu Xiaobei frowned, opened the topmost, most exquisite looking box, and found that everything inside was the previous things, except for some gold and silver jewelry, which were land deeds and so on.Among them, a stack of banknotes is the most conspicuous, because it is very thick and has a high face value. Gu Xiaobei picked up the stack of banknotes and counted them, and found that there were actually 2000 taels!

This is a huge amount. Although their family has made a lot of money from opening a restaurant, most of the money continues to be invested in the restaurant to expand their business. Especially recently, they have specially set aside a large sum of money to run the Rongcheng restaurant business. Therefore, each of the brothers and sisters of the Gu family didn't have a lot of money on hand, and the 2000 taels of silver bills could be regarded as the net worth of one of them.Gu Xiaobei knew without asking that this stack of banknotes must belong to the second brother, only the second brother would do such a stupid thing, even give her all the money in his possession as a dowry!

Gu Xiaobei put down the banknote in his hand dumbfounded, and continued to look through the other dowry, and found that the dowry was the best thing the brothers could buy. More than half of the money, Gu Erye even gave her almost all of it.

Gu Xiaobei watched with tears of emotion in his eyes. She has never interfered with the dowry matter. She thinks that the dowry for girls should be prepared by their family members, but no matter how much or little, girls should not interfere. .Of course, Gu Xiaobei never thought that the brothers would treat her badly. On the contrary, he thought that the brothers would definitely give her the best, but he never thought that it would be so rich.If she had known earlier, she would have intervened to prevent them from buying her so much dowry.

Gu Xiaobei took all the banknotes and put them in his arms, then covered all the boxes, and walked out with Xiaobao's fat hand: "Come on, Xiaobao, let's go and see the brothers' rooms, You are going to sleep with the third brother tonight, go and get acquainted, don't cry when you sleep at night, be obedient, and my sister will come back after two days."

The siblings walked out of the room, and when they passed the door, they met Mu Caixia who came in.

Mu Caixia supported her big belly, grabbed Gu Xiaobei's sleeve, frowned and said, "Xiaobei, where are you going? Today is your big day, so stop running around and stay in your room. If you feel bored, Later, I will ask Wen Hong and the others to accompany you."

Mu Caixia's belly was already getting big, Gu Xiaobei didn't dare to force her hand away, so he turned around with a smile and helped her into his room to sit down: "Sister-in-law, you are also very heavy, don't help, please come People from around here will help, and they all know that you are heavy, so they won't gossip about you."

"I'm not afraid that they will gossip about me, I'm just worried that they are not doing well enough, and there are no other women in the family. Your brothers are all old men, and they are very careless. How can we women be careful?" , so although I don't do any work, I still have to go and see how they are doing, otherwise I don't feel at ease." Mu Caixia murmured.

Gu Xiaobei caressed her forehead, she used to be very cheerful as a sister-in-law, why did she become so nagging when she was pregnant?

"Sister-in-law, you can rest here for a while, I will go to the second brother's house to find something, and I will be back soon." Gu Xiaobei said with a smile.

"What are you looking for? Come back when you find it, don't run around." Mu Caixia instructed.

"Okay." Gu Xiaobei smiled, answered, and then took Xiaobao to the rooms of several brothers, only to find that their rooms were open, and occasionally people came in and out, so she had to turn around and come back. These banknotes were secretly returned to the brothers, but she found that there were people coming and going in the room of the brothers, and she did not have the key to the box of the brothers, so it was not safe to put the money in the house.

Seeing that she would come back soon, Mu Caixia immediately felt relieved, smiled and said to Gu Xiaobei: "Stay in the room obediently, I'll send someone to find Wenhong and the others to accompany you."

"Please, sister-in-law."

After Mu Caixia left, Gu Xiaobei locked the bank notes in his bosom into the cabinet next to his bed, planning to return the money to his brothers when he came back later, it was too much money, she didn't need so much.

Sure enough, after a while, Mu Wenhong brought two girls to accompany her. These two girls are also relatives of Gu Xiaobei. Although they don't have much contact with each other, they are very kind.Apart from Gu Xiaobei, these two girls are Mu Wenhong's two best friends. Mu Wenhong has a hard time making friends with people, but if she makes friends, all of her friends are very good.Gu Xiaobei thinks it is very good, friends are not good enough.

It was bustling and bustling outside, but Gu Xiaobei's room was very cozy. A few girls ate melon seeds, ate snacks, played games, and teased the children. The time passed quickly.

Women in the village don't wear makeup most of the time, but everyone must wear makeup on the wedding day.In the afternoon, Mu Caixia invited the person in the village who was said to be the best at applying makeup to apply makeup on Gu Xiaobei.

Before putting on makeup, open the face first, and use the thin thread used for sewing clothes to wring out all the fine hair on the face.

"Ah! It hurts!" Gu Xiaobei yelled in pain as soon as he was twisted, and looked at Mu Caixia next to him with teary eyes: "Sister-in-law, can you put on makeup without showing your face? It really hurts!"

Mu Caixia looked at the red streak on Gu Xiaobei's face, and felt very distressed. She knew that Gu Xiaobei's skin was different from those of the girls in the village who often went to work in the fields. It was relatively delicate, so it was easier to get hurt, but the open face belonged to the rural people in their area. According to customs, she worried that it might be unlucky if she didn't show her face.
