Every time I come back to Tianjin, I always catch a cold. This time I had nothing to do for a week and I was secretly enjoying myself. However, it turns out that extreme joy can often lead to sorrow... In the end, I still have a cold~

=======》《======Dividing line=====》《=======

As soon as the Beginning of Autumn passed, the weather in the north began to cool down. Although the autumn weather was still a bit spicy at noon, there was already a slight chill in the morning and evening. Hehua was always afraid of the cold, so she put on her jacket early in the morning and evening when she went in and out. However, she was slim, so she didn't look bloated.

After that incident of being snatched away, Mrs. Fang seemed to have more affection for Lotus than before. Seeing that she was afraid of the cold, she started to build a brazier early and put it on the Kang to warm Lotus every night. The Kang mat and Chapter 60 Autumn bedding were taken down. Even so, Lotus would stay up a little longer in the morning than in summer, waiting until the dew was almost gone before she would get up. Jasmine laughed that she was just a cat sleeping in the winter, so she might as well find a snow nest for her to hibernate in. .

Autumn has just begun, and the few acres of sorghum that the Hehua family has raised in advance have basically bloomed and entered the most critical grain-filling period. The ears that were originally upturned have gradually lowered their heads.

Because the lotus requires a lot of nutrients and light during the grouting period, Zhu Yongxin prepared the fertilizer early and put it into the ground. The recent weather has been bright and sunny, so photosynthesis is not a problem. But Lotus counted on his fingers, and it seemed that it had not rained for many days. He lay on the edge of the kang and said, "Dad, let's open a canal and let some water wet the wetland today. I think it has not rained for a long time." "

"Yeah, I got it." Zhu Yongxin responded, then turned back to Fang and said, "I heard from the fourth child yesterday that Fang Zhuangzi's family wants Mei Zi to marry after Qiu, so why don't you take the time to ask mother in the next few days? You want us to buy it, or you can pay directly."

"Don't worry, such a big matter still requires your advice. I will naturally discuss it with mother and eldest sister." Mrs. Fang wiped the water on her hands on her apron and found a clean bag. Chapter 60 He wrapped two pancakes in autumn cloth, went out and stuffed them to Zhu Yongxin and said, "I'm busy with the work after the autumn. I'll go to my mother's place to have a look. After we figure it out, I'll go to the fields to help you. Our family will make two batches this time." There has been a long gap between the millet and rice, so we can still stagger it a little. You can work more leisurely, as we are all approaching forty now, so if you work hard at one breath, be careful and you will get tired."

"What's wrong with you today? I never see you say this before." Zhu Yongxin was a little confused by Fang's sudden concern.

"You're such a pretentious person. Why don't you say anything to me?" Fang rolled her eyes at him and said, "Go to the ground quickly."

Hehua also got out of the bed at this moment, packed up the bedclothes quickly with her hands and feet, jumped off the kang and said: "Mom, I'll go to the nursery with you."

"Why are you discussing your sister-in-law's affairs?" Fang took out the porridge and pastries that were warming in the pot, "Come here to eat first."

"I'll go with you to listen to the fun. I haven't even caught up with my aunt to get married." Hehua took the still warm breakfast and put it on the table. Then she turned around and put her arms around Fang's neck and said, "Mom, you are the one who loves me the most." Me"

Mrs. Fang gently pinched her cheek and said, "You will give me soup every day. If you want to go, you can go. It's not a shameful thing. I'll go first. You can eat by yourself and come find me."

He Hua wolfed down her breakfast, pushed the bowl on the table, swallowed the last mouthful of cake, and said vaguely to Jasmine who was doing needlework on the kang: "Sister, you clean it up for me, I'll leave quickly. .”

"Burn your butt on fire?" Jasmine said angrily.

"I'll go and find out more about it. I'll let you know when you get married..." Before Hehua could finish her words, she felt a strong wind approaching behind her head. She ducked down and the embroidered insole hit the wall over her head. She made a face behind her, and then ran towards the courtyard on the other side of Lao Zhu's head without looking back.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Shaoyao at the door of the wing, holding his hand on the door frame and looking at him with envy and said: "Lotus, it's great to see you running so fast."

Hehua glanced down and saw that Shaoyao had put on the bow shoes for her small feet. She couldn't help but feel that her feet were tight, and she felt really pitiful for her, so she comforted her: "Only country people have big feet like mine." You are running around everywhere, and the third aunt hopes that you will enjoy happiness in the future, so she bound your feet."

Mrs. Liu's loud voice came from the room: "We were told to build a house for us just before the Chinese New Year, but we still live in this courtyard. We have no place to cook and can only build a stove in the courtyard. I and I The child's father has discussed that since his parents can't count on him, he might as well save money to build a house, but his hands are tight right now, where can he come up with the money?"

Zhu Laosi seemed to be filled with anger whenever he spoke to Mrs. Liu: "Sister-in-law, you are right. Two months ago, my parents said they would build a house for you. Who said it was too hot for labor? Folks, , then they discussed that they would move to the autumn harvest and get up before the cold. Who are you talking to now? If you don’t believe it, ask your eldest sister. Your parents have already put aside the money to build your house. "I'm here"

When she heard that Sister Zhu was involved, Mrs. Liu immediately shut up. Living in the same courtyard as Sister Zhu, she suffered a lot. Although Sister Zhu was focused on Brother Liu, with the support of her eldest daughter, Yang was a bit more stubborn than before, so she couldn't get any benefits.

Seeing that she had hit a snag, Mrs. Li pursed her lips and smiled before saying: "Mom, my little sister's marriage is our family's business. No matter whether it is money, people or effort, and the father of the child is the eldest, my family will never do it." It’s vague. But our family hasn’t had a happy event for a long time, and I don’t know what the market conditions of various things outside are like recently, so I’ll tell you a few things and let’s listen.”

When Mrs. Yang saw that the two daughters-in-law had started talking about money before they even talked about it, they felt a little unhappy in their hearts. They counted them one by one and said, "Our family is not competing with anyone's rich family outside. We just Follow Su Ling'er and compare it to what I bought for my eldest sister back then, and just add a few more. If we take too much, our family won't have the money, and if we take too little plum, it will be shabby to marry. By then, it won't be Lao Zhu who will be lost. The face of home.”

Mrs. Fang filled Mrs. Yang's cup with water and said softly: "Mom, you can tell me whatever you need. We are all brothers and sisters in our family. No one will treat Meizi badly."

"The night net, descendants' basin, and everlasting lamp are naturally indispensable. Acacia quilts, kangqin, kang cabinets, tables and chairs must also be purchased. In addition, a set of cups, bowls, dishes, etc. must be prepared..." Yang said. Tell your wives what you have been thinking about these days.

Before she could finish speaking, Ms. Li interrupted: "Mom, just estimate the price, and each of us will just take the money. As for what kind of thing we make, we must all like it, right? Speaking of today, The price of this thing varies from day to day. I think when I got married, the dowry was decent, but it was only five cents. But a few days ago, I heard my mother say that a distant relative of her natal family My great-nephew's daughter got married and her family background is similar to ours. She just followed the village customs and spent a lot of money, but it's really incomparable."

Mrs. Yang originally wanted to say that apart from serving the wine, it would cost fifteen ounces, because Sister Zhu said that she would also contribute one share, so each family would only pay three ounces. However, when Mrs. Li said fifteen ounces, it would definitely appear that she was exaggerating. Gao, I didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Sister Zhu sat on the kang and teased Brother Liu. When she saw this, she said, "The young man from the Fang family is a scholar after all. If it weren't for his filial piety, he would have gone to take the scholar exam and come back this year. People don't dislike our family, which is a real farmer." , Our family can’t be too unworthy. I discussed with my mother last night. Each of the three of you will contribute three ounces of money. My mother said that she will give five ounces of money to Meizi for a body. This will be fourteen ounces. I am thinking about my great joy. It’s better to round up the whole thing, so I took out six ounces of money, which is exactly twenty ounces, what do you think?”

When Mrs. Li heard that it cost twenty coins in total, her face suddenly became gloomy, but she still had the sense and didn't speak. After all, most of the money was paid by Mrs. Yang and Sister Zhu.

Mrs. Liu, however, jumped up with a loud "ouch" and shouted: "Mother, you come from all over the country to find out who gets so much money for marrying their daughter? Our family is just an ordinary farmer, and we want to do it for such a big face. What?"

"A lot of money? Where's the money?" Sister Zhu said displeasedly, "If your three families and your mother's family each get three ounces of money, it's only twelve ounces of money. With the dowry and the wine, do you think you're still well off? It's so much more. The money was given to my little sister by my mother and I. Now that the family has been separated, it is no longer your turn to take care of it. If we secretly gave it to you in private, do you think you would know about it? But since we are all a family, I can't do anything. If you don’t like to hide it, I’ll give you as much as you want. If you have any objections, then we’ll give you 20 cents, and we’ll share it equally with me, how about it?”

When Mrs. Liu heard that she would need more money, she immediately shut her mouth.

"The eldest sister is right. Three ounces of money from each family is really not much. If there is anything we need to help with, my mother and eldest sister must talk to us." Now after the separation, the crops in the fields are growing well, and the lotus flowers can be grown. Of the twenty taels of silver reward, there are still more than ten taels hidden at home. In addition, the money from selling dates is enough for the family to buy food for the autumn harvest, so Fang is more confident than before in speaking, and goes to the Kang to study furniture with Sister Zhu. style.

Seeing that Mrs. Fang was no longer as submissive as before, Mr. Zhu was even more stubborn. Mr. Zhu was not married yet, so his heart was biased towards my mother and sister. She was too lazy to talk too much. After all, three ounces of money meant nothing to her. It's just a makeup fan, so I don't really care about it.

The Liu couple were not good at making ends meet in the first place. Not only had they not saved half a copper in half a year, most of what they had earned when the family was separated was lost to Zhu Laosan, so the expressions on their faces were a bit ugly. .

Seeing this, Mrs. Li deliberately ran against her and said: "Hey, what's wrong with my sister-in-law? She has a sullen face. Are you unwilling to let Meizi get married, or are you unwilling to part with the three ounces of money? If you are not rich, then I will lend it to you first." There’s nothing you can’t do.”
