"How about it? Let her take this dowry to the Zhang family. Will she look good?" Da Sun asked again.
Yang Ruoqing smiled and said: "Long face, too long face."
Sun said: "When Qing'er got married, Qing'er's father and I didn't prepare so many things, hey!"
Yang Ruoqing glanced at Mr. Sun tenderly, smiled and shook her head, signaling Mr. Sun not to say such words.
Da Sun said: "Xiaojie is different from Qing'er. Qing'er has abilities. When she comes to her husband's family, she herself is a treasure, a cornucopia of treasures."
"That girl Xiaojie is so lazy. She is good at eating, drinking and shit, but not good at other things."
"I told her father that if we don't prepare more dowry for raising a girl like this, her husband's family will dislike her and she won't be able to straighten her waist!"
The women covered their mouths and laughed.
Dayun said: "Little Jie Niang, how can you talk like this and belittle your daughter like this? If you don't care about it right now, you will get married tomorrow and you will cry then!"
Da Sun said: "I won't cry. There is not a day when I don't talk back to me at home. I wish she would get married right now!"
"You are so stubborn," Dayun said with a smile, "I will remember what you said. If you shed a tear tomorrow, we will laugh at you!"
Mrs. Sun patted her chest and said: "Okay, let me testify. I am not the kind of person who loves children. The same goes for that girl Xiaojie. She fights against me at home every day. Last night, she added salt to the cooking." There’s been a quarrel over this!”
"But, there is one thing that really worries me!" Da Sun said again.
"Sister, what's going on?" Mrs. Sun asked hurriedly.
Da Sun pointed to the day outside and said, "It has been snowing from last night to today, and it looks like it will never end. I'm really worried that it won't stop snowing tomorrow and carriages will not be able to drive on the road. What can I do?"
These words not only embarrassed Sun, but also everyone else in the hall.
Xiaojie's father said: "Yeah, if the snow stops today, it won't matter. The wheels won't sink too deeply tomorrow. As long as there are enough people and a little slower, it can be delivered to the town smoothly." .”
"I'm afraid that if the snow keeps falling, the wheels of the car will be submerged, and it will be bad."
Yang Huazhong said: "If it doesn't work, let the big guys carry it and carry the dowry."
Da Sun said: "What should I do, Xiaojie? Just walk over with one foot deep and one foot shallow. She is exhausted from walking, and her wedding dress is also dirty."
This person who just said that he wished he could send his daughter away now, the first thing he thought of right now was his daughter.
As Xiaojie's brother, Dajie is also actively using his brain.
"Master, father, mother, aunt, uncle, I have an idea here. I'll tell you. Do you want to hear it?" Dajie said.
"Stop being so secretive and tell me quickly!" Mrs. Da Sun urged.
Dajie said: "I think the snow on the road is not very deep today, but if it doesn't work, how about we just give Xiaojie's dowry over today?"
"Sending it today?" Da Sun was surprised.
Dajie nodded: "Yes, I will send it to you today. It will be much easier to send Xiaojie to get married tomorrow!"
"I think Dajie's idea will work..." Xiaojie's father just started to speak, but was interrupted by Da Sun.
"No, absolutely no!" Da Sun refused without hesitation.
"Why?" Xiaojie's father asked.
"Today and tomorrow, aren't they the same thing? We need to be flexible as people. When the time comes, it will be inconvenient for us to walk tomorrow. It's too dowry and it will be very difficult!" Xiaojie's father said again.
Old Suntou in the main seat also nodded, obviously agreeing with Xiaojie's father's words.
But Mrs. Sun shook her head again, "No, no, I can't send you a dowry today."
"Why do we prepare a dowry for our daughter when we marry her? Isn't it just to make my daughter look good to her parents-in-law?"
"When you enter, let your husband's relatives, friends, and next-door neighbors see how rich this daughter-in-law's dowry is, and how much her parents' family values her. Only then will our daughter's waist in her husband's family be strong."
"In order not to get stuck in the wheel, you sent the dowry a day in advance, and then tomorrow my daughter will be married alone. It's unattractive!"
"Besides, in other families, the daughter enters the husband's house with her dowry, playing and playing, picking and lifting. It's so grand, lively and respectable!"
After hearing what Da Sun said, Sun, Dayun and the others exchanged a few looks and thought it made sense.
"Xiao Jie Niang, I understand your mood and plans," Xiao Jie's father said patiently,
"But we also have to consider the difficulty of delivering the dowry tomorrow. When the time comes, we will be in a dilemma. It will be bad if we are stuck halfway!" he said.
Da Sun pursed her lips and frowned, also in a dilemma.
Luo Fengtang said: "Actually, it's not difficult."
Everyone's eyes fell on him.
Da Sun's eyes shone brightly and he said hurriedly: "Tangyaozi, do you have any good ideas? Tell me quickly!"
Luo Fengtang said: "We can modify the bottom of the carriage into a crescent shape like the base of a cradle, and then inlay it with iron sheets."
Yang Huazhong smacked his thigh hard, "What a great idea. It's like a boat. The boat moves on the water, and this iron board slides over the snow. It won't sink or get stuck. It's so convenient!"
Xiaojie's father said: "This is a good idea, but does it take a lot of time to build this kind of skateboard? How many pairs should I make?"
Luo Fengtang calculated it and said, "I personally suggest that three of these skateboards be built, mainly for transporting the heavy dowries."
"As for things like pots, buckets and bedding, you can pick them up and carry them to lengthen the procession of sending off the bride. The procession and ostentation will naturally become more spectacular. What do you think?"
Lao Suntou put the tea bowl in his hand on the table and gave Luo Fengtang a thumbs up: "Good idea, that's it!"
The eldest Sun even praised Luo Fengtang excitedly.
Luo Fengtang stood up and said, "Then I'll go back first and find suitable wooden boards and iron sheets to modify it."
Yang Huazhong and Xiaojie's father stood up together: "We will give you a hand!"
Yang Huazhong said to Xiaojie's father: "Xiaojie is getting married tomorrow, and many relatives and friends are coming to the house for dinner. You have a lot of things to take care of. You stay at home and do your work, and I will go and help Tang Yazi."
Xiaojie's father said: "The people from Sunjiagou probably won't arrive until the afternoon. I don't have anything to do right now. I'll go help you first. I won't be too late to come back when they come later."
Daniel also rolled up his sleeves, "Count me in, the more of us there are, the greater the strength!"
Cao Bamei said: "Yongjin will go too!"
As a result, the team became mighty.
Yang Ruoqing took off the key from her waist and threw it to Luo Fengtang: "Go and look for it in the backyard. There are many large and strong wooden boards there, many of which were originally intended to be used as doors."
Luo Fengtang took the key and left with the men.
