my daughter my hometown

Chapter 314: Digging the Dowry

Su Wu no longer paid attention to Liao Jinhai who had a dark face, and his eyes fell on Wei Gang who was next to him with a playful smile.

He was not surprised at all, "It's you! When did you come? Is there something urgent?"

Without waiting for Wei Gang to speak, Su Wu pointed to the big birch tree in the center of the courtyard.

"If you're not in a hurry, go sit and rest under the Bitong tree for a while. There's tea under the tree. I'll go there after I finish planting the tree. If you're in a hurry, just tell me. I'm here to listen."

Wei Gang shook his head quickly.

He lifted the sand pear in his hand, "No hurry, what can I do urgently! Today I came here specially to congratulate Brother Wu for being promoted to the patriarch of Yangxin Valley."

After finishing speaking, he pointed at the hoe: "Fifth brother, do you want me to help dig the hole?"

Liao Jinhai next to him gave him a sideways glance, "Why do you help me? Didn't you see me standing here in a daze? My father and daughter are playing."

Wei Gang was taken aback for a moment, but quickly realized that he could not help coughing twice in embarrassment.

It's like the rich eat too much big fish and meat, and suddenly eat the red department.When Wei Gang saw Su Wu digging a hole, he immediately felt that they were doing coolies.But in fact, Su Wu's side is happy.

Since there was no urgent matter, Su Wu ignored him, and his eyes fell on Su Qing, who had a peachy face.

He said awkwardly: "Sister, if you don't prepare your own dowry now, what's the matter with me here? Are you looking for your aunt?"

Su Qing was not shy either, and gave Su Wu a giggle.

She and Gu Hefeng have known each other for a few months, and they get along pretty well, and they have entered the stage of discussing marriage not long ago.

In a few days, if there are good days, it is estimated that Gu Hefeng's three media and six recruits should be here soon.

Therefore, she should be busy preparing for her dowry during this time.

It's just that Su Qing lost her parents since she was a child, and her grandmother couldn't see her, so she was inevitably a little bit at a loss when it came to matters involving her life.

When encountering something she didn't understand or how to deal with, Su Qing had no choice but to come and ask Aunt Ma.

"Father," Su Wan next to her stopped making mud in her hands, she looked at Su Qing curiously, "What is Aunt Qing's dowry?"

Uh……

How to answer this?
Looking at his little daughter, Su Wu was momentarily at a loss for words and kept wiping his sweat.

During the three-day holiday of the Double Ninth Festival, Su Xue will not return to school until tomorrow, and she will have just woken up and had breakfast.

When she came out, she heard a faint sound coming from the northeast corner of the yard, so she came over curiously to have a look, but she didn't expect to hear the words of her little niece.

"Wanwan, aunt knows what a dowry is." She giggled.

Su Wan snorted, and didn't know whether to believe it or not.

She patted the mud on her hands, and cheerfully reached out to the rice ball next to Su Xue, "Fanfan, have you had breakfast yet?"

Fantuan responded with two quacks, walked over and jumped onto the flower bed.

The wild goose looked at the two masters curiously, not knowing what they were doing for a moment.

The whole house has a main courtyard and two side courtyards. All the flowers, plants, trees, rockery and flowing water inside have been carefully designed by Fang Weimin.

To him, the yard was like his own child.

Usually, even if Su Wu touched him, Fang Weimin would blow his beard and stare.Only because of Su Wan's liking, An An dared to wantonly spoil all kinds of flowers.

The last time Fantuan brought more than 6000 children and grandchildren to this garden, they did not know how to trample on many flowers and plants, and also pulled feces all over the ground.Since then, Fang Weimin has stared at Fantuan a lot.

Unexpectedly, Su Wu was digging in the flower bed with great fanfare today. If Fang Weimin found out, he would be so angry.

Su Wan didn't know what Dayan was thinking.

After playing with Fantuan for a while, she seemed to suddenly remember her own question, and asked Su Xue again.

"Dowry." Su Xue was bored admiring her slender fingers, "Aunt Qing is going to get married. She will bring some beautiful things to marry, and those things are the dowry."

Su Wan was at a loss, obviously not understanding.

But she didn't intend to ask further, she only became interested when she heard the words "beautiful things".

"Aunt Qing," Su Wan raised her small arm, revealing the bone whistle tied to her left wrist.

She shook triumphantly: "Is your dowry as beautiful as Wanwan's whistle?"

A bunch of adults wiped their sweat.

Su Xue burst out laughing, and came over to rescue Dayan from his niece.

She snorted in disgust, "Wanwan, your whistle was just a gift from Uncle Hei. Aunt Qing's dowry was saved by herself with all her heart. It is definitely much more beautiful."

"Huh? Really?"

Su Wan looked at her whistle blankly.

What Su Xue said was neither right nor wrong.

Yangxingu does not have the habit of selling her daughters, so she will not embarrass the man in the bride price.As for the dowry, it is usually saved by the woman herself, as long as it suits her own wishes, it doesn't matter whether she is beautiful or not.

But some time ago, Wen Lan brought back an old box from her great grandmother, which contained some books, and Su Xue was lucky enough to read a few of them.

Several of them are dedicated to introducing the situation of married women in Yangxin Valley.

In Yangxin Valley in its heyday, when girls got married, the dowry was astonishingly large, and the red makeup was no lie.

Even the dowry can be arranged as long as ten miles, so one can imagine how many there are.

However, with the change of dynasties, Yangxin Valley has been declining.The dowry that girls accompany when they get married has also become less and less.

Especially more than [-] years ago, when Niuniu's master got married, there was only a wooden bed and a pair of mandarin duck pillows embroidered by herself.

In terms of value, it might not be as valuable as the bone whistle in Su Wan's hand.

"Of course it's true." Su Xue nodded resolutely.

After speaking, she smiled flatteringly at Su Qing.

Because of her great grandmother, Su Xue is actually the same as Su Wan, and she hardly dares to go to Su Qing's house to play if there is nothing to do.

Therefore, she didn't know anything about Su Qing's dowry or what she had prepared.

But in front of her niece, as an aunt, she must not give in.Now that he opened his mouth, he had no choice but to brace himself and continue.

Su Wan thought about it, and seemed to have made some difficult decision.

She raised her right hand hesitantly, revealing the delicate jade piece tied on her right wrist.

"This is a birthday present from my dad for Wanwan. It's the most beautiful thing in the world."

Su Wan triumphantly waved the longevity lock that Su Wu gave her on the day of the lottery: "Aunt Qing's dowry is definitely not as beautiful as it."

Except for Wei Gang, everyone else knew the origin of Su Wan's safety lock, and they couldn't help but look weird.

Su Wu coughed twice in embarrassment, and planted another sapling casually.He pawed and backfilled the soil: "Sister Qing, did you come to see me?"

Su Qing didn't answer, but just carried Su Wan out of the flower bed, and kissed her twice.

"Although Aunt Qing's dowry is not as beautiful as Wanwan's Suosuo, it is also Auntie's most precious thing. The two cannot be compared."

Su Wan seemed to understand but not understand.

But the little girl was satisfied when Su Qing admitted that her safe lock was beautiful.

Su Xue couldn't help being curious, "Sister Qing, what exactly is your dowry, can you tell us now?"

Su Qing nodded without hesitation, "Of course, it's not something to be seen."

She said: "I came here to look for your brother, just to ask him to find some people to help dig out my dowry."

dig it out! ?

Including Su Wu, a bunch of people gasped.Looking at Su Qing, who was smiling and slender, she couldn't help sweating profusely.

What dowry is buried in the ground?
Still want to dig it out?
Liao Jinhai coughed thoughtfully twice, grabbed Wei Gang next to him with pricked ears, and was about to leave.

"Brother Su, I suddenly remembered something that I need to discuss with Wei Gang. Let's take a step first, and I'll come back to you later."
