After three days of marriage, the newlyweds go back to their father-in-law's house.
The night before, Zhang Liyun prepared the return ceremony. In addition to a pair of chickens and ducks, two pounds of pork, and two cigarettes prepared according to local customs, she also took out the scarf that Zhao Nan had bought in the county before, so that she could make a living. Jiang Rui took it back to her mother's house.
"You didn't see Baoqin, when I put away these scarves that day, the boy's face was so dull, he thought I wouldn't let him send you, so he was stunned, and he was alone in the yard. The piles of wood have been chopped up, you see, that's all, the wedding banquet has not been burnt yet. Next time we run out of wood to burn, I will do something to make him unhappy, maybe he will be able to burn it. A year's worth of firewood has been chopped." Zhang Liyun ridiculed herself
son.
Li Xiao'e interjected: "No wonder that day I saw my mother pondering the field in the yard, because I was afraid that the second brother would split the ground!"
Jiang Rui covered her mouth and smiled.
Zhao Nan smiled and let the three of them have fun.
When they got married that day, Jiang Rui sat on Zhao Nan's bicycle and went from Du's house to Zhao's house. Today, he went back to the door and went back by bicycle.
She was also wearing that red floral padded jacket, a stylish wool scarf around her neck, her hair in a low ponytail, bangs combed across her forehead, a rosy face and a bright smile. Anyone who saw it said that the daughter of the Du family was married right, and that she went to the Zhao family to enjoy happiness.
Before entering the gate of Du's house, I heard Xiao Shan Hao's cry.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back." Jiang Rui and Zhao Nan walked into the yard side by side.
Wang Tonghua hurriedly greeted her from the room, "Bao Qin and Anan are here, come in quickly."
Zhao Nan also called his mother.
"Hey, hey." Wang Tonghua rubbed her apron in response.
"Why is Little Hawthorn crying?" Jiang Rui took the basket from Zhao Nan's hand, put it on the dining table, looked left and right, and asked, "Where's Dad?"
"My baby caught a cold yesterday, felt uncomfortable, and kept crying. Your dad knew that you were coming back today, so he was sitting in the house early in the morning and waiting. A few people just came and said that something happened in the ancestral hall and called both your dad and your brother. Go, I told them that they must be back before dinner time."
Jiang Rui nodded, turned to Zhao Nan and said, "Sit down for a while, I'll go see Xiao Shan Hao."
Wang Tonghua hurriedly said, "Xiaohua is coaxing the child to sleep. You can sit with Anan. I have stewed snacks in the kitchen and bring them to you."
"Mom, no need." Jiang Rui held her back, "I'm not a guest, so what dessert should I have."
"You child, this is the first time you've come to the door after getting married. Why are you not a guest? These are all rules." Wang Tonghua pushed her hand away.
Jiang Rui had to say, "Let's eat later that night. We just had breakfast at home, and we can't eat it now."
"Okay, then..." Wang Tonghua rubbed her hands together and said, "Are you thirsty? I'll go get two cups of tea." After saying that, before Jiang Rui and Zhao Nan refused, she turned around and went to the kitchen.
Jiang Rui reluctantly looked at Zhao Nan, and suddenly saw a falling eyelash on the bridge of his nose. He leaned forward and took a breath.
"Don't make trouble." The two of them got close, and spit cool anger on their faces. Zhao Nan thought she was playing again, and pressed the person back a little uncomfortably.
"You're the only one making trouble." Jiang Rui puffed up her face, stretched out her hand to pick up the eyelashes, let him see clearly, and then turned her head to ignore him.
Zhao Nan knew that he had wrongly blamed her. Seeing that she seemed angry, he didn't know what to say to coax her. He was still in the Du family's house, and his mother-in-law would appear at any time. With a serious appearance, the hand hanging by his side quietly grabbed Jiang Rui's finger.
Jiang Rui threw it away, he hooked it again, threw it away again, and persevered in hooking again, until the hooking person lost his temper. He turned around and glared at him softly, "Cheky-skinned."
Wang Tonghua brought two cups of tea into the house, and Jiang Rui and Zhao Nan got up to pick them up.
"Don't be too busy, Mom. Sit down and talk to me. Look at these scarves. These scarves were bought by Anan at the county seat. Mom, sister-in-law, and Baozhen each have one. Hey, Baozhen isn't home today?"
"At home, the door must be closed and I didn't hear it. I'll call her."
Jiang Rui stopped her and said, "Maybe she is reviewing her homework. Let's not interrupt. Let's call after dinner."
"It's okay." Wang Tonghua carefully touched the soft scarf, narrowed her eyes with a smile, but said in her mouth, "How much does it cost to ask Anan to spend so much money, remember it later, don't buy anything when you come back."
Jiang Rui glanced at Zhao Nan and said with a smile, "This is what he wanted for Mom, just keep it."
Just as she was talking, Du Baozhen opened the door and stuck her head out, "Mom, I seem to hear my sister's voice—sister, you're back!" She cheered in surprise and jumped out of the room a few times.
"Keep your voice down!" Wang Tonghua whispered to her, "Hawthorn is not crying now, she should be tired from crying and fall asleep, don't wake her up."
Du Baozhen tiptoed to Jiang Rui's side, sat down and wrapped her hand, "Sister, you're finally back, I miss you so much."
"I haven't seen you for two days, and it's not two years." Jiang Rui laughed, "Have you finished your homework? You have to go to school tomorrow."
"Oh, I'm done, I'm done, how come everyone asks about my homework as soon as they see me, can't they say something else?"
"You are a student, what else can you say besides your studies?"
Du Baozhen pouted sullenly.
Wang Tonghua glared at her, "Why don't you know how to call someone? Call your brother-in-law."
"Got it," Du Baozhen stood up and called out honestly, "Hello, brother-in-law."
Zhao Nan nodded and took out a red envelope from his pocket.
When Wang Tonghua saw it, she immediately said, "Hurry up and put away Anan, you don't need to give it to her."
"Mom said it before, it's all rules, how can you not give it? Baozhen take it." Jiang Rui said.
Du Baozhen glanced at her mother's face, took the red envelope, with a happy expression on her face, her brother-in-law said more sincerely, "Thank you sister, thank you brother-in-law!"
Wang Tonghua frowned: "Okay, hurry back to the house to read, don't make noise here."
Du Baozhen stuck out his tongue and ran away.
"She's not a child anymore, so what red envelopes will cost Anan to spend." Wang Tonghua said brokenly.
Jiang Rui just listened with a smile.
"Oh, there's still a fire in the stove, Baoqin, sit down with Anan, and I'll go take a look." She got up again and hurried away.
Jiang Rui turned to look at Zhao Nan, "I'm going to see my sister-in-law and Xiao Shan Ha, do you want to go with me or wait here?"
"I'll wait for you." Zhao Nan said.
Jiang Rui nodded, suddenly leaned over and kissed him on the face, then smiled and said, "I'll be back soon."
Zhao Nan helplessly watched her enter the room, but her lips and chest were numb.
Zhang Xiaohua's room was a little dark, Jiang Rui walked in lightly, glanced at the bed, and asked in a low voice, "Are you asleep?"
"Just slept." Zhang Xiaohua lowered his voice.
"Why are you crying so hard? Did you take it to see it?"
Zhang Xiaohua nodded and said, "I've seen it. In fact, the cold is not serious, but her nose is blocked, so she can only use her mouth to inhale, but she has to use her mouth when drinking milk. She wants to drink milk and inhale. , I can't be too busy, and I cry when I get angry."
When Jiang Rui heard her say this, she felt distressed and a little funny, "Our little hawthorn is still violent."
Zhang Xiaohua shook his head helplessly and looked at her, "How is the Zhao family?"
"Very good." Jiang Rui smiled and didn't say much.
Zhang Xiaohua looked at it, and his heart was quite complicated. Whether the day is good or not, you don't need to say much, others can see it at a glance. Her little sister-in-law went to enjoy herself, but she still had a hard time. Thinking of having to take care of the children and feeding the rabbits in the past two days, and even being so negligent that the children caught a cold, she became angry and anxious. This is just the beginning, when will it end
Jiang Rui talked to her for a while, afraid of waking up Xiao Shan Hao, so she didn't sit any longer, and went to Du Baozhen's room to have a look.
As soon as she entered the door, Du Baozhen grabbed her hand and asked, "Sister, do you know how much money is in the red envelope that my brother-in-law gave me?"
"I know." Jiang Rui said. After the red envelope was ready, Zhao Nan showed it to her.
Du Baozhen stretched out a hand and dangled it in front of her eyes, "There are five dollars! There are five dollars!"
Jiang Rui pressed down that hand, "I know there are five yuan, you can just keep it. If you want to give it to Mom, you can also keep it for materials and books."
Du Baozhen hugged the red envelope, "I, I keep it for myself."
But she still couldn't help being excited, and said to Jiang Rui, "How could my brother-in-law pack such a big red envelope!"
Jiang Rui smiled. She knew the amount in it before and thought it would be too big, but Zhao Nan insisted, so she didn't care too much. When I went out this morning, I heard from Zhang Liyun that Zhao Nan asked her for advice last night and learned that the red envelope he distributed today was related to her face in her parents' family, so she specially packaged it up.
Du Baozhen was not surprised at all when she saw her, but she was a little puzzled. After taking a closer look at her sister, she found that she had not seen her for a few days, and she was a little different. Although the clothes he was wearing were made last year, the scarf around his neck was of a material and style that he had never seen before. It looked soft and fashionable, and he was wearing brand-new leather shoes with black leather. Guangwaliang, she only watched the best classmates in the class wear them, never thought that such a pair of shoes would appear on her sister's feet.
She suddenly felt that the elder sister who grew up with her had become different. She dressed so fashionably and smiled so beautifully. On the other hand, when she looked at herself, because of a red envelope, she made a fuss, like the most unseen person in the world.
This red envelope that surprised her just now, but now she is holding it. For some reason, it is a little uncomfortable.
