Yang Ruoqing thought for a while and said: "We won't organize the banquet in a big way. We will prepare three tables. Please invite the number of people at two tables. The third table will be reserved in case of emergencies."
"There are two rooms. The basic furniture such as beds, clothes cabinets and so on in the two rooms were all laid out a while ago when we were building the house."
"The cooking pots and everything in the kitchen have been set up. Now I just need to buy a new bedding for you two to sleep on."
"The two girls should sleep together. It turns out that you three slept together when we were in school." Yang Ruoqing said.
Xiaoqin nodded repeatedly: "To put it bluntly, the main thing is to prepare a few tables of meals to thank the people who came to help us. We will buy clothes, shoes and socks when the weather gets cold. There is no rush."
"I don't plan to take the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen from Daping's house. Although his house has many dishes and chopsticks, I bought them. But now I am basically cleansing myself and leaving the house. Except for the bedding for the three of us in the school, there is only one I don’t even bring chopsticks.”
When Yang Ruoqing heard this, she said, "When I make new bedding for you later, just add a few more sets of bowls and chopsticks."
"I have the bowls and chopsticks here for the banquet. I will lend them to you first."
Xiaoqin smiled, "That's best, thank you Qing'er."
Yang Ruoqing looked at Damo and said, "Brother Damo, please say a few words."
Damo smiled honestly: "It's up to you to decide. I don't understand these things."
Yang Ruoqing said: "If you don't understand, you have to say a few words. You are the groom's official!"
Xiaoqin also looked at Damo with encouraging eyes. In this case, Damo thought about it for a while and expressed his thoughts.
"Qing'er, Brother Damo is not very smart. Please help Brother Damo figure out what kind of food and wine to buy to entertain everyone, and how much it will cost," he said.
This aspect is Yang Ruoqing's strong point. As soon as her eyes turned, she had an idea in her mind.
"Based on the standard of one tael for a table, for three taels of silver for dishes, one tael of wine and snacks like melon seeds on the table, four taels of silver is enough," she said.
"It cost me a tael of money to make bedding, buy a few sets of dishes, chopsticks, and simple daily necessities."
Damo clapped his fingers and said, "That's five taels of silver. Can you still have five taels left?"
Yang Ruoqing nodded, "Definitely!"
Damo grinned and looked at Xiaoqin: "If it doesn't rain tomorrow, let's take the two girls with us. Then Qing'er and I will pick up a carriage and we'll go to town to get you and the children two new sets of clothes. .”
"What? No, no, no!"
Xiaoqin was shocked and waved her hands hurriedly.
"It's not like a young lady is getting married. If I don't want those things, people will laugh at me," she said.
Damo's face fell: "Who dares to laugh? Damo loves his own wife, who is in the way?"
Xiaoqin stopped talking, but there was still a look of embarrassment on her face.
Yang Ruoqing said: "Xiao Qin, it's rare that my brother Damo cares about you and the children so much, just accept his wishes."
"Besides, this life is for you to live, not for others to see."
"You can't save your face and don't want new clothes, so you're giving the children two different clothes!" she said.
Xiaoqin's heart was moved and she nodded: "I don't want it, just give it to the children and their uncle Xiaomo."
You have my children in your heart, so I will naturally want to be a good sister-in-law.
Damo was happy, "It's done!"
Xiaoqin also smiled, and the two looked into each other's eyes, with sweetness and happiness in their eyes.
Early the next morning, the family of four drove the carriage to the town happily to buy new clothes.
Before leaving, Xiaoqin said that she would bring dishes, chopsticks, quilt covers, sheets and other daily necessities back from town.
Yang Ruoqing quickly packed up some good cotton at home and gave it to Mrs. Sun, who asked her to send it to a cotton-splitting craftsman to pop it out quickly.
Dayun brought Yuzhi, Xiaohua, Xiaoduo, Cuier, Xiaojie and other young wives and girls over to help decorate the new house.
Yuzhi was very clever and had children, so she cut out the bright red words "hi" and window grilles with her own hands and gave them to these girls.
Several girls then put their hands on the doors, windows and walls of Da Mo and the others. Then, considering that Xiao Qin was a widow who remarried,
In front of me is Daping, the married husband who worshiped heaven and earth. Daping died an unexpected death.
Later, she was sold to the Xue family by Da Ping Niang for a secret marriage, so in order to prevent those evil things from coming over, Goddess Li also took some measures.
Let several girls each thread a needle with their own hands and thread it with red silk thread.
After putting it on, put it on the tents of Damo and Xiaoqin to ward off evil spirits.
In short, everyone is doing their best to help them take care of their new house and wedding room, with the most sincere blessings...
When the sun was about to set, Damo and Xiaoqin came back from the town with their two girls.
"Yeah, it looks like you had a good time today. Both adults and children look good!"
The carriage entered the small courtyard of their new residence, and Dayun, Yang Ruoqing and the others greeted them.
Dayun joked when he saw Damo helping the three girls get off the carriage.
Damo grinned, and Xiaoqin also smiled with a blushing face. The two children were very happy, holding candied haws in their hands.
The eldest girl has gradually become sensible and eats gracefully. The little girl is so young that the syrup is all over her face.
Xiaoqin said to her eldest girl: "Bring the candied haws for Bao Bao and Dazhi and give them to your Aunt Qing'er to take back."
The big girl responded obediently, turned around and took out several more sticks for Yang Ruoqing.
"Aunt Qing'er, my mother asked me to buy it. She said that children like to eat it." The eldest girl said.
Yang Ruoqing smiled and took two of them, then touched the big girl's head: "I want to say thank you to Baobao and Dazhi."
The eldest girl smiled happily.
Over there, Damo was moving the purchased things from the carriage to the house one by one. Dayun also took out the snacks he bought and invited everyone to come in and eat.
The women gathered around the table to eat snacks and looked through the clothes they were wearing.
"Ah, this fabric is good, it looks good on the children."
Dayun and the others watched and praised.
Yang Ruoqing was also watching among them, nodding secretly while watching.
In the end, Damo insisted on taking off Xiaoqin's clothes, but he himself did not.
What a good man. Xiaoqin married the right person.
"You all tell me about him," Xiaoqin said at this time.
"After shopping around, I bought all the things for our three mothers. I wanted to get some clothes for him, but I refused to let him go. I turned around and ran out of the shop like a child..."
When everyone heard this, they all said to Damo: "After all, you are the groom's official, are you still shy?"
Damo smiled and said: "I am a big man, I can wear anything the same, not just my buttocks."
Everyone laughed and said to Xiaoqin: "You are a blessed person. Damo loves you and the children so much. Live a good and prosperous life in the future."
Xiaoqin nodded vigorously.
Everyone said blessings for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, they all dispersed.
