Chang Geng's family.
Sun came over excitedly with a series of kitchen tools including an apron, a kitchen knife, a small hammer, etc.
When we arrived, there were snowflakes floating in the yard, and at the door of Chang Geng's kitchen, Chang Geng and Gui Hua were discussing something.
There was a ping-pong-pong sound in the kitchen. Apparently, the women of the Li family had come to help.
Seeing the mother and daughter Sun and Yang Ruoqing entering the yard, Guihua's eyes lit up and she hurriedly came over to greet them.
"Ms. Qing'er, are you here to help?" Osmanthus asked in surprise.
Mrs. Sun smiled and said, "Yes, I was supposed to come over during the day. Today, my in-laws' fish pond has a good harvest and we are treating guests to dinner. All of us have come over, so we delayed coming over to help."
Hearing this, Guihua and Chang Geng looked at each other, both of them looking touched.
Osmanthus said: "It's almost the Chinese New Year, your children are all at home, and the whole family, old and young, is enough for you to be busy."
"I originally discussed this with Chang Geng, and I didn't even plan to call you over to help. I just waited until Xiao Yu came out of the cabinet tomorrow to ask Lao San and Tang Yazi to come over to see off my uncle..." the woman said.
Mrs. Sun smiled and shook her head: "Xiao Hua and Xiao Duo are helping me take care of my family affairs. I'm free."
"Don't say anything anymore. You can arrange it for me. We don't have to worry about that." Sun said.
Osmanthus fragrans and Chang Geng were even more moved.
Chang Geng said: "Mother Xiaoyu, since Mother Qing'er has said this, we can't shirk it. One more person will give us more strength."
Osmanthus nodded, her eyes falling on Yang Ruoqing again.
"Qing'er, I don't need you for the kitchen affairs. If you have time, go and talk to Xiaoyu. That girl, I saw her eyes were red since she got up early. I'm afraid she is a little reluctant to leave."
"I'm so busy that I don't even bother to say anything to her. How about you go and stay with her on my aunt's behalf?"
Yang Ruoqing nodded quickly, "I came here specifically to accompany Xiaoyu."
"Okay, okay!" Osmanthus nodded repeatedly.
Chang Geng said: "Then let's do this for now. I'll go to Brother Luo and bring back the fish that will be used for the banquet tomorrow."
"Okay, go and do your business."
Everyone went their separate ways and got busy in full swing.
In Xiaoyu's boudoir.
Yang Ruoqing looked at the row of brand-new furniture and stroked it smoothly. Finally, she couldn't help but sigh a few times.
"Uncle Chang Geng and Aunt Guihua, they really put a lot of effort into preparing this dowry for you!" she said.
These dowries, whether it is the texture of the wood, the style of the dowry, or the quantity, are second to none in this countryside.
Moreover, the tracing and carving of many details are even more exquisite.
Such a dowry, let alone being placed in a farmer's family, would definitely be a show-stopper if it were carried to the Ning family, a prominent family in Qing'an County.
"No wonder Aunt Guihua said a long time ago that in order to prepare for your dowry, they have been making preparations since your engagement in the first month."
"This year, most of the time has been spent on preparing for the dowry, and some of the crops in the fields have been wasted, hahaha..."
Yang Ruoqing said and couldn't help laughing softly.
Xiaoyu sat on the bed, leaning against a pile of brand-new quilts bundled up, taking off her shoes and hugging her knees with her hands.
She has maintained this posture ever since Yang Ruoqing came in, and she still does so now.
But after hearing Yang Ruoqing's words, she raised her head and glanced at the row of dowry in front of her, and then sighed softly.
"In the past, I always dreamed of marrying Brother Ning. In order to stay and fly with him, I didn't want to go home for several years in a row."
"At that time, I wanted to stay in Xiushui Town, where he was,"
"It's not like we are tired of being together. At least, we know that we are in the same town. If he comes out of the military camp to do something one day, we can meet him."
"At that time, there was a stubbornness and a stubbornness in my heart. I wanted him. Everything else was not so urgent or important."
"Now, I suddenly feel a little regretful,"
"I missed a lot of opportunities to accompany my parents. For my own selfish reasons, I made my parents think about me and worry about me at many such years..."
"I once heard the aunts and ladies in the village chatting, saying that daughters are destined to be raised by other people's families, and they will be thrown away when they get married. At that time, I was still very angry and wanted to quarrel with them."
"Now that I think about it carefully, I am an ignorant wolf. For more than ten years, my parents have been pulling me away, but I am getting married before I can reciprocate..."
As he spoke, tears flowed down from Xiaoyu's eyes.
She reached out and grabbed the handkerchief that had been prepared nearby, and wiped it with her head buried in it. Her shoulders slightly shrugged, looking as if she was too sad to contain herself.
From time to time, the sound of ping-pong-pong-pong came in from the kitchen, accompanied by the cheerful laughter of the helping women.
This was in stark contrast to the atmosphere in the room, and Xiaoyu's tears became more joyful.
Yang Ruoqing came over and sat down next to the bed.
"Your idea is wrong," she said.
"Men should get married when they are college students, and women should get married when they are college students. In order to find your true love, you have to work hard and fight for it. Is this wrong?"
"That's right, your courage is commendable!" Yang Ruoqing said.
"It's just that your love journey was a little more bumpy and complicated than others. That's why you didn't go home to celebrate the New Year in the past two or three years."
"But even though you didn't go home to spend the New Year with your parents, you still brought home clothes and gifts from all four seasons."
"You have given all the personal money you have earned in the past few years to your family. Look at the current situation of your family. You have renovated the house and purchased some land."
"We raise cows and two big fat pigs at home. We also have money for your brother's marriage. Your brother was also sent to the school behind the village to study."
"Although Uncle Chang Geng is also making money, part of your credit is also due! Don't blame yourself like this, let alone deny what you have paid for love before." Yang Ruoqing said.
Xiaoyu shook her head: "I'm not denying that. I-I'm just very upset with myself for not doing a good job and neglecting my parents and brothers..."
"This is not called neglect." Yang Ruoqing corrected, "Besides, even if you are married, you can still be filial to your parents and support your brothers. As long as you have the heart, it will never be too late. "
"Look at me, I never got married before, so I had to fulfill my filial piety by myself."
"Now that I'm married, I have one more person to accompany me to fulfill my filial piety. I can do it, and so can you. You have to believe in yourself. There is no conflict between love and family affection!"
