Qian Shi treats all the children in the family equally, and tries to make a bowl of water fair.
So even if the family life is better now, Wu Wulang's dowry gift and the specifications of the wedding banquet are still in accordance with those of the older brothers, basically the same.
Fortunately, the customs of marriage in these ten miles and eight villages are the same, and they are in the countryside. The rules are less than those in towns and cities. There are upper and lower limits for dowry and dowry, so even if the old doctor's family is good, there is no requirement Excessive dowry.
Mrs. Qian carefully prepared the dowry gift, who knew that Zhou Wulang quietly went to the city to buy a pair of silver earrings and a pair of silver bracelets, and came back to add them on.
Old Zhou Tou looked at his son bitterly, and felt that he had started to favor his daughter-in-law before he got married.
Mrs. Qian just smiled, and added things to the dowry, and asked the brothers to carry them to the old doctor's house to propose marriage.
Things went very smoothly. It is impossible for Man Bao and Bai Shanbao who have grown up to roll the bed for Brother Wu, so this time it is Wu Tou and Zhou Dazhu's three-year-old daughter who are responsible for rolling the bed.
The two children took off their shoes and were placed on the wedding bed, but they just sat there blankly. Man Bao and Bai Shanbao, who were already very experienced, started to push them down together, and then pushed them down from the head of the bed to the end of the bed.
The two children thought Man Baogu was playing with them, and they were so happy that they rolled back and forth several times.
Seeing that they wrinkled the quilt all at once, He immediately said: "Okay, ok, come down quickly, I'll make the quilt whole again."
Feng stuffed red envelopes for the two children, and kicked out the booing Man Bao and others.
The two Xitong were left in the house to sit on the bed.
Man Bao and Bai Shanbao yelled and rushed out. Over the years, they have been bed-rolling boys. People in the village like to ask them to roll-on-bed when they get married.
In the past, this business was done by the two of them. This was the first time they saw someone else having sex, and both of them found it very novel.
At the same time, it is also a very novel experience to be able to stand at the entrance of the village and wait for the bride to come.
When the auspicious time was approaching, the ox cart to welcome the bride entered the village, and Man Bao and the others rushed up with a group of children, yelling around the ox cart.
They didn't even know why they barked. Anyway, they felt happy when others barked, so they followed suit.
Sitting on the bullock cart, Wu Wulang was smiling, and after touching the wedding candy, he stuffed them into their hands. For a while, the children began to say all kinds of compliments.
Good words were thrown at Zhou Wulang and Lu Zhi as if they didn't want money.
Lu Zhi blushed, lowered her head slightly, and let the red hijab cover her last sight.
This time, Master Bai also came to the table in person, and even Mr. Zhuang came to join in the fun. Old Zhou was so happy that he couldn't suppress the joy on his face.
An old man quietly said to his descendants: "This is the sign of prosperity. Is the Zhou Jin family extremely prosperous?"
Thinking of the situation of Zhou Jin's family five years ago, or even earlier, the younger generation couldn't help nodding, "Yes, it seems that it started after Shiro gambled, which is really strange."
The old man: "Fool, why don't you think about it. Man Bao was still in school that year. Didn't you hear the Taoist priests on the mountain say that Man Bao is the reincarnation of a fairy? I think the fortune of Zhou Jin's family followed Man Bao."
There are not a few people who have such an idea, and now everyone in Qili Village firmly believes that Man Bao is the reincarnation of a fairy.
There were only Master Bai and Mrs. Liu, and they probably laughed it off when they heard such words.
Old Zhou's family has another person, well, there is one more person to support, but also one more person to work.
After a few days of getting used to it, Lu Zhi got used to it, shyly and carefully blending into this big family.
Fortunately, the sisters-in-law are very kind, and the sister-in-law loves her very much. In the first few days, the sister-in-law and sister-in-law led her to work, and her husband followed her from time to time. It is not difficult for her to blend in. .
It's just that she was a little embarrassed that Wu Wulang always followed her from time to time, helping her wash the dishes, chop vegetables and cook.
Zhou Xi didn't take it seriously, and said to her: "Let him do it. They have nothing to do in the winter. If they don't work, they will only go out to play. Why don't they help at home."
Lu Zhi smiled shyly, and asked in a low voice: "Sister, it will be the new year in a few days, do you want to prepare something for the family?"
"Naturally, we need to make some sesame candies and rice cakes. This year, the children want to eat stuffed tofu. It is estimated that we need to prepare a lot, but these are made by my sister-in-law. We just need to help. "
Zhou Xi smiled at this point, took her hand and said, "I think the dishes you cook are also delicious, what kind of desserts would you make?"
Lu Zhi blushed and said, "I've only learned how to roll glutinous rice balls, and I won't know the rest."
"It's okay, even if we know them, they don't mind eating what we make. Alas, I don't know what's going on. It's obviously the same method. What my sister-in-law makes is better than ours."
Lu Zhi hadn't eaten less of Xiaoqian's cooking in the past few days, so she nodded approvingly.
It was agreed that one person would take turns to cook for a day, but basically when it was not busy, Xiao Qian was basically in charge of the cooking in the kitchen, and those jobs that would be her turn were done by the person in charge of cooking for her that day.
Not two days after Lu Zhi came in, Zhou Xi whispered to her, conveying Qian's meaning by the way, "Mother said, we have learned from my sister-in-law for many years and haven't learned much, but you are smart, maybe you can learn it. When the time comes, you will be able to manage the kitchen with your own little family, so let you learn more from your sister-in-law, and talk about it when you can't learn it."
Occasionally, my sister-in-law makes tofu, and she can’t free up her hands to cook. She can also eat meals made by other sister-in-laws. made.
This year, Xiaoqian's is not only making rice cakes and sesame candies, but Manbao and the others are going to eat delicious food in the county town.
She thought it was too expensive, so she went to the cook of the Bai family and planned to learn some dim sum recipes from her.
In her and the cook's words: "How can this outside be better than homemade? And it costs money, and it takes time to go to the county town. What's there in the city, why don't we make it for them to eat, so that they don't run away?" Come and run."
The cook thought it was true, "It's just that they are tired of the dim sum masters I know, and I'm afraid they don't like them."
"Hey, there is no one who can get tired of eating dim sum. You can make him a different pattern. Make small buns today, rice cakes tomorrow, and sweet-scented osmanthus cakes for him later... and then it will be Xiao Baozi's turn." I don’t even know how many days have passed.”
"No, that's what I did before, but he still misses the delicious food in the city. By the way, do you have any new dishes?"
The cook thinks that Xiaoqian is very talented in cooking. Occasionally, when she gets some fresh ingredients, she finds out when the two of them exchanged dishes.
