When my uncle and aunt came, they naturally wanted to stay for dinner. Qiu Xiaochan went to the kitchen to cook, and the elders were talking in the main room. From a distance, I heard my aunt scolding Qiu Changshun and his wife.
"This Changshun is really a coward. She spoils Li Guilian, a wicked woman who is not filial, and even a good child is taught badly by her."
On the contrary, Zhang Daying was not angry, and said in a calm voice, "I don't want to think about that anymore. My children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and I can't control them if I want to. I can watch Xiaochan get married at ease, and the couple will be in harmony. There is nothing to worry about." .”
Speaking of this, Cai Daping asked, "How about the younger generation, I heard it is a good one?"
Zhang Daying said with a satisfied smile, "Handsome and good-natured, the two are a good match, you can take a look when you pass by the village when you turn your head."
Cai Daping said angrily, "I didn't watch it when I came here, I'll watch it when I go back." She asked about the wedding again, "Is there enough money? If not, your brother and I can make up some money."
"No, although no one came to their house, they sent two hundred yuan, which is enough for a little fun."
"I only took two hundred. Isn't their family from the capital? The conditions shouldn't be bad. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse."
"We don't need so much in our locality. One hundred yuan is the best. In addition to two hundred yuan, we also have a few food stamps and meat stamps, even sugar stamps. It saves a lot of trouble."
Cai Daping was satisfied now, "That's very good, it shows that this family is very easy to get along with, and we don't dislike us as rural people."
As Cai Daping talked, she thought in her heart that she really should deal with her sister-in-law properly. Based on her understanding of her sister-in-law, the other party definitely gave more than two hundred. She asked these questions just to find out the truth about the man's family.
After the lively meal, my uncle and aunt left, and met Chen Guilian on the way. Not only did she not call anyone, she also turned her head sideways and snorted coldly, rubbing her shoulders and walking away.
Cai Daping looked back at the niece and daughter-in-law who had gone away, sighed and said to her husband, "Your niece and daughter-in-law are smaller than the tip of a needle. If I were her, hurry up and repair the relationship with Xiaochan now. As the old saying goes, know more." There are many roads for people, thirty years in the east of the river and thirty years in the west of the river, you may ask someone else someday."
This can be said to be a prophecy.
Time flies to September, the divorce period is getting closer, and Zhang Daying asks Aunt He to buy fabrics. When she was young, she was good at making clothes, but now her eyesight has deteriorated, and Qiu Xiaochan has no order. To show off this skill, I had to ask a good craftsman in the town to do it.
Lenin suits are popular now, Qiu Xiaochan made some requirements with the master according to her own aesthetics, and finally made them into a style similar to a suit. In addition to the red coat, there is also a beige and a blue one, and the trousers are made of black fabric. The straight-leg trousers are more suitable for the figure than the fat carrot trousers.
In addition to Qiu Xiaochan's clothes, Zhang Daying also made a navy blue Lenin suit for Gu Wenqian, bought a new shirt, a new pair of leather shoes, and even considered underwear and socks.
After bringing back the completed clothes, Zhang Daying folded them one by one, put Gu Wenqian’s alone and wrapped it in a clean cloth, and said to his daughter with a smile, “Xiao Chan, send these to Wen Qian, Tell him to wear it on his wedding day."
Qiu Xiaochan agreed, and went to the village with the package.
Although the wedding date was fixed, they didn't meet many times in the past two months. Occasionally, Gu Wenqian came to Qiu's house to help with some heavy work, and Qiu Xiaochan rarely appeared in the village.
As soon as she appeared today, everyone started talking about it.
"We're going to have a wedding in a few days, right? The last time Aunt Zhang came to invite me, it was the eighteenth day of the ninth lunar month."
"I heard that Chen Guilian was not going to help on her wedding day. I asked her if she would go to the wedding banquet. She said that she would eat as she wanted, and she would give whatever gifts others gave her."
"Tsk tsk, it's really thanks to what she said. After all, it's the sister-in-law. Not to mention the dowry, the gift money can't compare with those of us who have no relatives, right?"
"Don't just talk about Chen Guilian, Qiu Shunwen is not a good person. If my son marries a wife and forgets his mother, and listens to her in everything, I will beat him to death with a rolling pin without saying a word, so as not to be angry. Anyway, in the future Pensions are also unreliable.”
"What kind of pot should match what kind of lid, I think the two tops match each other."
"That's right, the tortoise should be kept in a pond. If he found someone else in the first place, it would be someone else who hurt him."
After finishing speaking, everyone laughed. For them, the most relaxing part of the day is to get together and gossip. The family is not good, otherwise life would be boring, wouldn't it
When Qiu Xiaochan arrived at the village, she saw Gu Wenqian driving cattle in the field from a distance. She walked along the river embankment to the edge of the field. Gu Wenqian smiled at her when she saw her coming, tied the cattle rope and strode over. He asked with surprise on his face, "Why are you here?"
His eyes are very bright, and when they look at each other, they often give people a feeling of affection. His long eyebrows are like swords. Because of the hot weather, his forehead is sweating a lot. Qiu Xiaochan took out a clean white handkerchief from his pocket and raised his hand Wipe him.
Gu Wenqian was tall, afraid that Qiu Xiaochan would get tired from raising her hands, so she lowered her head slightly to cooperate with her.
Qiu Xiaochan said angrily, "Why are you lowering your head, are you afraid that I won't be able to reach you?"
She was only a head and half neck shorter than him, she wasn't short at all, the only fault was that he was too tall.
Gu Wenqian's eyes were full of smiles, and he argued in a low voice, "No, I'm afraid you won't go well."
Qiu Xiaochan curled her lips and handed him the package in her hand, "This is the clothes, shoes and socks my mother prepared for you. You will wear them on your wedding day."
Gu Wenqian accepted the answer, and said with a smile, "Thank my mother for helping me, and thank you for sending it to me."
Maybe it was because his eyes were too hot, or because of the weather, Qiu Xiaochan felt her face was burning up, she avoided his sight, looked at the water plants by the river and said softly, "I haven't seen you go to eat recently , Mom still asked me to ask, afraid that you would deal with it alone."
He smiled deeply, and his eyes became softer, "I can't deal with it. I will catch two fish and send them to you in the evening, so I can improve your food."
Qiu Xiaochan hurriedly stopped, "Farewell, since I fell into the water last time, now I'm scared when I see the river, I don't worry about you alone."
He said "hmm" and replied with a smile, "Okay, then I won't go."
Qiu Xiaochan pulled back the broken hair around her ears as a cover, Gu Wenqian knew that she was shy, so she randomly picked up a topic and asked, "Have you bought almost all the things that should be bought? If there is anything missing, I will buy it for you. "
"I've bought everything. Uncle Cai, who is hosting the banquet, will help you contact me. It will be delivered the night before, so don't worry about it."
Originally, these were prepared by Gu Wenqian himself, but Zhang Daying meant that he was the groom's official, and his task on the wedding day was to get married, so he didn't need to worry about trivial matters, so he asked his uncle to help with the preparation.
Gu Wenqian lowered his eyes and said, "I'm afraid you will feel wronged, this is the only time in your life."
In the past, the marriages of the elder brothers in the family were very lively. Unlike today, he can give a handful of things. But once a man is truly moved, he hopes to bring the best of the world to his beloved.
Qiu Xiaochan's heart trembled, and her smile was full of sweetness, "As long as you treat me well, there is nothing wrong with it. What I care about is you and nothing else. When we get married and live a good life, we will definitely be able to live together." It's impressive."
Gu Wenqian nodded as if promising, "Don't worry, I will."
The two had a conversation on the embankment and Qiu Xiaochan went back, surrounded by so many eyes.
In the evening, Gu Wenqian drove the cattle back to the cowshed. After a simple dinner, he lit the oil lamps and started carpentry.
During this period of time, he has completed the production of a chest of drawers, a desk, a dressing table and two carved chairs. In the absence of tools, he did not use a single nail, and completely relied on the mortise and tenon technique.
In addition, the portrait he wanted to give has also been completed, which is her looking back and smiling, and is going to be given to her as a wedding gift on the wedding day.
Like a kiss, his fingers stroked her eyebrows, cheeks, and finally stopped on the delicate lips.
No matter how good the painting skills are, in his opinion, the people in the paintings are not as beautiful as in reality.
The walnuts in the mountains are ripe, and the villagers go to the mountains to hunt walnuts in waves. Qiu Xiaochan also brought back a lot of walnuts in a bamboo basket. She is not going to eat these walnuts, but wants to fry them and save them on the black market in winter. Sell.
Things that are worthless in the countryside are rare in the city. This is the difference between regions.
In addition to walnuts, she also stored mountain dates, mountain mushrooms, dried persimmons, dried vegetables, and dried apricots, all of which were dried after drying. For this reason, she spent 2,000 points to buy the score. Of course, these are just her own ideas , Gu Wenqian's support is needed after marriage.
As a traveler of later generations, Qiu Xiaochan knows how the future economic trend will develop, and also knows that even in the current crackdown environment, there are still many "black markets" in various places. As a "victim" who suffered a cruel fate, can Gu Wenqian be like her? Similarly, calmly be a shady "speculator".
That night, Qiu Xiaochan had already taken a bath and was about to go to bed, when there was a knock on the courtyard door, she walked over and looked out through the crack of the door, only to see a man of medium height standing outside the door, vaguely looking at him in the moonlight It looks like Qiu Shunwen.
To be on the safe side, Qiu Xiaochan still asked, "Who is it?"
"It's me, your brother."
Only then did Qiu Xiaochan unlock the latch on the door, and Qiu Shunwen stepped in. Zhang Daying also heard the movement in the room, and came out with some clothes on.
"Why are you here?"
When Qiu Shunwen heard his mother's question, he couldn't help but blush, but it was too dark to tell.
"It's not that Xiaochan is married, I, as an older brother, should also think about it."
He secretly saved more than two months and finally saved 20 yuan, and sent it quickly while his wife was out chatting and not at home. If the wife found out, he would have to make trouble again.
Both the mother and the daughter were a bit surprised. Qiu Xiaochan hadn't had much contact with this brother after time travel, and the brother in the original owner's memory was not the cowardly character who was tortured by life now, so there was a deviation in her perception of Qiu Shunwen.
Zhang Daying snorted coldly, "You still know that you have a mother and a sister, and you still think you jumped out of a rock. I don't know what evil I did in my life to give birth to such a thing as you."
Qiu Shunwen mumbled not knowing what to say, he didn't want to do this either, but what could be done, one side was his wife and son, the other side was his mother and sister, apart from hating the bad world and hating himself, nothing else could change.
He can't make his daughter-in-law respect her mother-in-law and love her sister-in-law, nor can he make his mother ignore her daughter-in-law's faults.
Besides, it's not easy to marry a daughter-in-law these days, and you can't divorce your daughter-in-law, making Huzi a motherless child. Because of this, he can only stand on the side of his wife.
"Knowing a son is better than a mother", seeing his son's expression, Zhang Daying knew what he was thinking, because he had been disappointed in his son for a long time, and he didn't want to talk too much, so he just took the money and let him go back.
"You should pay for this money. Don't think that with the twenty dollars, your sister and I will forgive you for what you have done, and give birth to you. Even if you pay for it with your life, it's nothing."
After speaking, Zhang Daying went back to the room, closed the door with a "bang", and explained to his daughter through the door, "Xiaochan, it's getting late, let him go back quickly, don't delay our rest."
Qiu Shunwen let out a long sigh, but he was only twenty-eight, and looked as vicissitudes as thirty, but Qiu Xiaochan didn't care about pity him, there is a saying that "a poor person must have something to hate", and it is right to put it on him. suitable.
"I'm leaving."
"Well, you should go back quickly, and let Chen Guilian know that the big guys don't want to sleep anymore."
Qiu Shunwen had a choked expression on his face, obviously he didn't expect his sister to say this, but what she said was the truth, it's just that the sister in his memory would not be so aggressive.
She slept peacefully until dawn, and Zhang Daying didn't even mention Qiu Shunwen's coming the next day. Luckily, Chen Guilian didn't come to her door. The time passed peacefully to October, and the wedding was coming in a blink of an eye.
