"What?"
Feng Yuxiong was shocked and hurried to the house. His wife did not forget to smile attentively and said: "Cousin Minghua came to the table first. She didn't take good care of her. Cousin, don't mind."
"Cousin-in-law, go and get busy. This is my uncle's house after all, so there is no need to be polite."
"Yes, yes, cousin Minghua is free." After saying that, he followed Feng Yuxiong's footsteps.
Minghua turned to look at the two people who had entered the room one after another, pursed her lips and smiled; without space and memory, she wondered whether Feng Yuying's heavy jealousy could be relieved.
Turning back to her parents, Xiao's mother took her hand and asked in a low voice, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. It's my cousin who's in trouble. Cousin Yuying suddenly had a severe headache. When I came out, I fainted from the pain. My cousin and cousin were taking care of her inside." The Feng family's courtyard is small, and there are two tables in the courtyard. They are people whose closest relatives are no more than three generations old; for example, neighbors and relatives in the village sit outside the courtyard.
"It's good that you're okay." Mother Xiao held her daughter's hand and squeezed her palm with one hand, "You shouldn't have gone just now. There's no way your uncle and others will blame the matter on you."
"Cousin Yuying has a headache, what does it have to do with me?"
Mother Xiao was worried, and Father Xiao patted her shoulder, "Don't worry, if the blame is really on our daughter, we will leave the table; we are not so close to each other in the first place, it doesn't matter if we keep in touch in the future, I'm afraid you won't be able to let go. .”
"What are you reluctant to give up? I am very willing to give up, but they are reluctant to give up." Xiao's mother whispered angrily.
Father Xiao and his daughter looked at each other. The Feng family came here many times after knowing Minghua's future. However, it was common for Minghua to be away from home for a year and a half. When they came, they could only sit for a while. Mother Xiao They are never left to eat. Even if you want to eat at home, you will be kicked out. The food at home is not free for lazy and blood-sucking leeches.
Father Xiao retracted his hand silently, this family of relatives cannot be broken off just by thinking about it!
The close relatives of the Feng family at the same table, the men, talked to Xiao's father and said every kind word, which made him feel comfortable to say it; the women chose to praise Minghua one by one, and look at the clothes they were wearing, they looked so glamorous. , that is what they dare not even think about.
"Sister Feng, you and the one in your family are very lucky; look at the gold rings you both have on your hands. These are valuable things."
Xiao's mother put aside her sadness and showed off to the person she was chatting with: "Hey, my daughter-in-law insisted on buying it for me. She not only bought it but also bought clothes; everything my daughter-in-law's father and I were wearing were bought by my daughter-in-law. We won't know until we come back. Otherwise, I can't let her spend money so lavishly; young people nowadays! Count every dollar, and I'm afraid she'll spend all the money in her hand."
"No, Minghua is a sensible and successful child at first glance. You and brother-in-law Xiao's luck is yet to come."
"Isn't that right! You and your brother-in-law are probably the only ones in our ten miles and eight villages who both have daughters to buy gold rings for."
"Sister Feng, we haven't seen what a gold ring looks like yet. Can you take it off and show it to us?" A dark, thin and short old lady stared greedily at the gold ring on her finger.
"Third uncle, you can see clearly just like this; we can all see clearly. There is no need to take it off. If you lose such a precious thing, you will not die if you lose it." An old lady next to her quickly grabbed Xiao's mother's hand and signaled. She couldn't take it off.
There are so many greedy families in the village, it's hard to say what they will say after taking it down.
Mother Xiao sighed in her heart, there are good things in the village and there are bad things.
Everyone was joining in the fun, talking happily, and the next topic was about to hit the 'topic'; the Feng family's uncle and aunt rushed over blankly.
"Minghua, what happened to my Yuying? Why did you faint after staying in the same room with her for a while?" The tone of the question was soft, not too tough.
Xiao’s mother: Sure enough, she’s here.
Minghua grabbed her mother's hand and squeezed it as a sign of comfort. She then said, "Uncle and aunt, cousin Yuying is also my sister. Why would I, as a sister, harm her on her engagement day? That's not to give someone an excuse. Well! Why don't you wait until your cousin wakes up and ask her questions; now, the cousin's in-laws should be arriving soon, so you might as well think about how to entertain her. "
On the day of the engagement, the woman fell into a coma and was regarded as unknown.
Uncle and aunt of the Feng family didn't want to really offend her, but they were riding a tiger and couldn't get off.
"I heard that a comatose person can wake up by just adding some cold water, why not give it a try?" Minghua spoke again.
Aunt Feng asked eagerly: "Is it possible?"
“You won’t suffer any loss if you try it.”
Okay, okay!
The Feng family's uncle and aunt quickly took a ladle of water to Feng Yuying's room and splashed it on her face involuntarily. The big guys followed and watched the excitement. The men couldn't go, and the women wouldn't miss it. But after a while, the door was full of people. .
Someone asked with concern.
"How are you? Are you awake?"
"Yes, why did you faint when you were having such a good time?"
"If you don't wake up, shake it twice more."
Aunt Feng helped her daughter up and shook her violently.
"Ugh..." Feng Yuying struggled to open her eyes and said confusedly: "Mom, my head hurts so much!"
"Endure the headache, today is your engagement party, and you don't want to be lazy; hurry up and tidy up, your mother-in-law's family will be here soon." Seeing that the people were awake, the Feng family's uncle and aunt, Feng Yuxiong and his wife were getting down to business. He breathed a sigh of relief.
Aunt Feng sent everyone away. Those who should return to their seats returned to their seats, and those who should continue to help continued to help.
During the rural banquet, someone from the village neighbors will come to help, usually one person from each household; as long as one person goes, the next time there is a wedding or funeral in the family, the person who got the help will have to return it, so you come and I go. , everyone can be more intimate.
"Look, they can't find me." Minghua comforted her mother and raised her eyes to look at her father. This single look made Father Xiao feel particularly at ease.
During the more than three years that Nannan has been studying, she has grown into an adult who can protect her parents from wind and rain.
Feng Yuying held her head in her hands and glanced at everything in the room blankly. Why did she have a headache? What kind of family did her parents find for her, and why would she be engaged as soon as she woke up? What happened to her?
Many doubts emerged, and Feng Yuying took a breath with a headache. She could only lie down and hope that the pain would subside.
"Yuying! Pack up and come out quickly. Your husband's family should be here soon."
"Okay." Feng Yuying responded softly. She endured her headache and got up and searched around. She found a lot of beautiful clothes, five good-looking bags, and some small gold and silver jewelry, cosmetics, etc.; she had never had any. Could it be that her parents bought these things for her as a dowry?
Too many questions lingered in her mind, and Feng Yuying decided not to think about it; her parents were not very kind to her, but they did not treat her too harshly. If they could buy her such a generous dowry when they got engaged, she would be filial to her father when she got married. Oh shit.
She tidied up briefly, combed her hair, and put on beautiful red clothes. She suddenly felt that her head didn't hurt so much anymore, and she left the room happily.
