Mrs. Liu continued to laugh and explained: "Well, I took a bite of spicy food earlier and choked. I was so anxious that I happened to have a glass of fruit wine on hand, so I poured it into my mouth first..."
At the end, he added a special sentence: "I didn't know it was yours, I thought it was mine, hehe!"
my own?
Yang Ruoqing raised her chin towards the table in front of Ms. Liu, "Hey, Fourth Aunt, your cup has long been empty..."
Everyone also saw that Mrs. Liu had finished her own drink, and while Yang Ruoqing was taking care of Tuantuan, she secretly took another drink from Yang Ruoqing's cup.
As for why Mrs. Liu didn’t take Mrs. Sun’s cup? Ha, the reason is simple, Sun doesn’t have one at all.
"You, you, you are so shameful. You just poured it out after you finished drinking. Why did you want to get Qing'er's? This makes Qing'er even want to toast!"
Yang Huaming was really subdued by Mrs. Liu. He shook his head and condemned, picked up the jar of fruit wine on the table and walked towards Mrs. Liu and Yang Ruoqing. He poured it first for Yang Ruoqing and then for Mrs. Liu.
Mrs. Liu was also a little embarrassed. She stood up with Yang Ruoqing with a full bottle of fruit wine, "Qing'er, then Fourth Aunt, let's have a drink with you too!"
Yang Ruoqing understood what Liu meant, which was to apologize for his previous behavior, but she was too embarrassed to point it out clearly.
"Fourth Aunt, you are the elder and I am the junior. I can't afford this!" she said.
Mrs. Liu was a little depressed. What did Qing'er reject from her?
Yang Ruoqing then added, "If Fourth Aunt really has that intention, why not join me and offer a cup to my grandma?"
Mrs. Liu never thought of toasting these two elders. Why? Wouldn't it be nice if she took a few more bites of the food while she was toasting?
However, Yang Ruoqing even invited her. Liu weighed it a little and nodded happily.
"Okay, okay, let's come together!"
Mrs. Liu picked up the wine cup and stood up with Yang Ruoqing to toast the old man and the old lady.
A pleased smile appeared on Lao Yangtou's face, he nodded repeatedly and picked up the wine cup.
Tan hesitated for a moment, then relaxed his clenched teeth, picked up the spoon and said, "I don't drink cat urine, I drink soup instead of wine!"
Yang Ruoqing smiled and said, "Okay, okay, let's do it first as a courtesy!"
This meal was a particularly harmonious one, and the matter of old Yangtou and Tan's rekindling their old relationship could be considered a clear path.
Old Sun Tou and Blacksmith Luo also sent blessings one after another. Old Yang Tou accepted all these blessings as ordered.
Mr. Tan gradually became less embarrassed.
After the meal, as usual, the men gathered around the table in the clean main room to drink tea, smoke, chat, engage in household chores, and brag in various ways.
The women were divided into two groups, one to clean up the kitchen and the other to take care of the children.
Yang Ruoqing and Wang Cuilian took Tuan Tuan home to take a nap, while Mrs. Liu helped Mrs. Sun wash pots and dishes in the kitchen.
After Yang Ruoqing settled the children and left Wang Cuilian at home to take care of them, she returned to her parents' home.
As soon as he entered the door, he found that the tea party among the men in the main room had ended. Yang Huazhong had gone to wander in the fields. Only Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Liu were left in the main room drinking tea and eating melon seeds.
The smile on Ms. Liu's face couldn't be piled up, she was so proud of herself, her brows were dancing with joy, she was talking and gesticulating, she was so excited.
Seeing Yang Ruoqing's return, Mrs. Liu was so excited that her eyes were shining with gold, and she couldn't wait to say: "Qing'er, let me tell you some good news. Your grandma has such a big conscience that she actually offered to give your aunt's room to Kang Xiaozi. It’s a wedding room!”
"What? My grandma suggested it? It's so grand!" Yang Ruoqing couldn't believe it!
Ms. Liu was very satisfied with Yang Ruoqing's reaction and said, "It's true. When I was helping your mother clear the dishes, your mother ran to the kitchen and told me this herself. If you don't believe it, ask your mother. See if I lied!"
Yang Ruoqing didn't even need to look at Mrs. Sun for confirmation, because she believed that there was no need for the fourth aunt to tell lies about this matter, and there was no point in telling lies.
"Third sister-in-law, please help me quickly. Qing'er doesn't believe me. She thinks I'm bragging!" Mrs. Liu urged Mrs. Sun again.
Mrs. Sun smiled and said, "Qing'er believes it, I don't need to tell you."
"Really?" Mrs. Liu went to see Yang Ruoqing again.
At this time, Yang Ruoqing had also come to her senses. She pulled out a stool, sat down, and said to Mrs. Liu, "Fourth Aunt, I believe you."
"Now that's good, we don't have to work so hard to remove the partition in the west room. Ju'er and San Yatou will have a place to stay when they come back."
Mrs. Liu nodded repeatedly, "Yes, your aunt's house is for Kang Xiaozi and his family to get married. It's all right."
"And your grandma often takes care of that house. She often goes in and takes a look at the tiles on the roof. In a year or two, she will urge your father and your fourth and fifth uncles to renovate them. The doors and windows are all in good condition. , and more importantly, there is a big bed inside, so there is no need to use the wedding bed for the time being."
"We will wait until our new four-bedroom house is completed before we build the wedding bed. Otherwise, if we build the wedding bed here, we will have to disassemble it when we move to the new house, and we will have to assemble it when we move there. It will be very troublesome!"
"Well, this is indeed good news for you four families!" Yang Ruoqing also said sincerely.
Mrs. Liu chuckled, "It's probably because I offered a cup of wine to your grandparents at the dinner table, and their consciences found out. If I had known that a cup of wine could solve the problem, I should have made a toast a long time ago!"
Not to mention toasting, even if she is asked to rub the old lady's shoulders and back, as long as she can get benefits in exchange, she can bend and stretch!
…
Regarding the matter of finding a blind man in Lijiacun to divine the auspicious days of the zodiac, under Tan's urging and accompanied by Sun, Liu quickly and resolutely completed the matter.
Two days were divined, one was the day when Liu Jinchuan came to recognize the door, which was just six days later.
And the day Liu Jinchuan got married was on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month!
"Oh, is it too tight? It's already mid-October," said Sun.
Yang Huazhong also said: "Six days later, you will come to the door. It's already the end of the month. If you come in on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, there won't even be a month. How can you, the four houses, have time to prepare things in the house? They don't have time to prepare the dowry!"
Mrs. Liu smiled and waved her hands: "There is no need to prepare anything on either side. The bed, table, clothes, cupboards, washstands and shelves on my side are all ready-made. They already exist in Meier's house. I will bring them two quilts when the time comes. Just give them the wash basin in our house..."
"Fourth brother and sister, can you give them the basin in your house? Isn't that bad?" asked Sun.
"It doesn't cost much to buy a few pots, so why bother with that little expense?" Mrs. Sun added.
Mrs. Liu said: "We have to build a new house for our four bedrooms. When the new house is built, we will have everything. I can save every one now!"
Sun was speechless.
Yang Ruoqing happened to be visiting her parents' house again, and she was happy when she heard the conversation between Liu and Sun.
"Fourth Aunt, Fourth Aunt, some money should be saved, and some money should not be saved."
"Not to mention that the basin you gave them as a couple is one you have used, and that you only gave them one basin. Is it possible for them to share the same basin when they wash their faces, legs, and feet? No way. Dirty? Not dirty? Not dirty?"
What Yang Ruoqing said was actually what Sun wanted to say, but Sun was still organizing the words in her mind, so Yang Ruoqing had already asked directly.
Therefore, Mrs. Sun immediately followed suit and said, "Let's prepare a few more pots for them. This young couple cannot live a complacent life, otherwise outsiders will know about it and they won't know how to organize them!"
A look of embarrassment appeared on Madam Liu's face, and she smiled dryly, "Well, it doesn't really matter, right? I have always washed my face, body, and feet all my life with a basin and a handkerchief, so I can't just stand here calmly. Huh? We, the bankers, are not that particular!"
Yang Ruoqing shook her head when she heard this, "Fourth Aunt, Fourth Aunt, you are lazy and your living habits are not good, just say so. Why do you need to involve the villagers in this?"
"What's wrong with the bankers? Are the bankers synonymous with dirty things?"
? Not always! "
"Go and see my grandma. She is a true farmer. She has been so particular in her life!"
"Wash your face, wash your belly, and wash your feet. Three basins are clearly prepared. The same goes for the handkerchief. I even prepare a handkerchief specially for wiping my hands!"
"Look at my fifth aunt, second sister-in-law, and third sister-in-law. Which one can wash the world from head to toe with a handkerchief? Which one can conquer the world with a wooden basin?"
"You, you, you, hey!"
I really don't pay attention to hygiene. If things go on like this, I will get a lot of gynecological diseases.
Maybe it already exists, I’m just embarrassed to say it!
Why would Yang Ruoqing have such speculation? Because twice, the fourth aunt asked Juer to bring her gynecological medicine from the town pharmacy for flushing.
She didn't dare to buy it from Fu Bo and Wang Sheng in the village, for fear that people would find out and laugh at her.
In fact, aren’t these problems caused by a lack of hygiene?
"Oh, okay, okay, stop talking, it makes me look like that, I'll just buy them a set of wooden basins!" Mrs. Liu waved her hands, not wanting to talk about this topic anymore, so, She jumped directly to other topics.
"As for the dowry, we have agreed that we will convert it into silver, which is a full six taels of silver, and give it to Liu Jinchuan."
"When she gets married, just bring the six taels of silver as her dowry!"
When Sun and Yang Ruoqing heard this arrangement, they couldn't help but look at each other.
This kind of arrangement is equivalent to the man providing a house and so on, and the woman directly providing someone.
What can I say? It's all simple.
The key is because Liu Jinchuan's condition is special and it is impossible for anyone to buy a dowry for her.
"Fourth brother and sister, this method will work. Although Jin Chuan is getting married without any dowry, she will live a good life with Kang Xiaozi in the future and give birth to a few more children. It will be better than any dowry!"
Yang Ruoqing also agreed: "Yes, the dowry in front of me is just an external possession. In the future, I will support Kang Xiaozi with a complete family, full of children and grandchildren, and let the fourth aunt and my fourth uncle hold the eldest grandson and hold the eldest granddaughter. This is the real thing." Affordable, right?”
