The ancient daily life of a farmer's daughter-in-law

Chapter 37

These days, Aunt Liu and Mrs. He arranged for the village's daughters-in-law and aunts, and Tian Tieshi and Shi Dayong also took Li Qingshan's ox cart to the town to bring back a few jars of wine, and bought a lot of candy and Little thing, I'm going to prepare this to send out to the folks in the village.

Because there is a saying about setting up a bed here, Tian Tieshi made an agreement with Li Qingshan early on to invite Aunt Quanfu of the Hu family to come.Aunt Hu is the most blessed person in the nearby villages. Not only are her sons and daughters healthy, but her sons and daughters are also blessed with their own sons and daughters.So three days before getting married, Aunt Hu took 24 pairs of chopsticks and tied red strings and put them under the mat in the new house. son".

Although Tian Tieshi doesn't care about his sons and daughters, he doesn't mind the cumbersome customs handed down from his ancestors.

Li Qingshan felt that if his sister got married here, she had to choose Liangtang's room anyway, so he tidied up the north room, and specially bought red paper and red cloth to decorate it.Mrs. He is also a real person, and directly used the new floral cloth from the bottom of the box to sew a mattress for my sister-in-law.

The yard was piled with wood from Tian Tieshi, thinking of making it more beautiful for his sister to marry, so Li Qingshan invited a carpenter who was familiar with the escort to help him make some dowry.The carpenter is also an experienced craftsman, and he was unambiguous when he decided on the pattern. He didn't even need the pattern, and started busy cutting, splicing, planing, and poking holes.After the tables and chairs were finished, the carpenter pasted red paper on them.

Just like that, in just two days, Li Qingnuan's dowry was properly prepared, even a bit thicker than what the Wang family prepared for Li Xiu'e.

On the night before the wedding, the young daughters-in-law and the girl who had a good relationship with Li Qingnuan from the village all came to Li Qingshan's house, and everyone kept talking about this year's harvest, and it was too late for the rest day.Before leaving, many daughters-in-law helped to add makeup.

When getting married in Chaohegou, the woman's dowry is not sent to the man's house in advance, it is to enter the door with the bride.It is said to be a dowry, but it is actually the bride's private money, and even the parents-in-law cannot get half of it.Because he felt that the girl had been wronged, Li Qingshan added a big red seal on the dowry that she and the He family prepared. As for what is inside, outsiders don't know.

No, before He could put it back for the second time, Aunt Quan Fu walked in the door with the sound of a rooster crowing.He looked at the sky, and hurriedly asked Lin Yueniang to help her to serve a bowl of rice on the stove.Before weddings in the village, many meals are prepared in a large pot in advance, especially some hot porridge will be left on the stove, in case Aunt Quanfu and the neighbors who help will come hungry.

In fact, Li Qingnuan was upset all night, he couldn't help but think wildly, and couldn't close his eyes all night.Now when she heard her sister-in-law calling her to get up, she knew it was time to put on makeup.

Lin Yueniang and Mrs. He helped her change into the new wedding dress, and then sat on the stool, and Aunt Quanfu opened the face for her, that is to say, she used five-colored thin cotton thread to wring the hair off her face.Then, listening to the festive congratulations, and looking at herself in the mirror with a woman's hair bun, she chuckled softly.

With the sound of suona and firecrackers outside, Li Qingnuan glanced at herself in the mirror with red makeup, red clothes and red silk flowers, and then asked her sister-in-law to help cover her red hijab.

In the past few days, she has learned about the customs of marriage in the village from Aunt Liu and sister-in-law. The opening meeting this morning is not to pick up the bride, but to wait for the makeup.That is to say, the groom will invite the young men from the village to the bride's home to carry away the dowry.

The dowry was placed in the living room early on. Apart from the burden of daily necessities, there were several camphorwood boxes on the Eight Immortals table, and Li Qingshan added four quilts from the original two.Li Qingshan was afraid that the portion would not be enough, and the girl would lose face in her husband's house.
