BXBX NOVEL Chapter 54: engagement (2)
It wasn't hung on the back of the bicycle, nor was it carried in the hand, but the young people from Lao Yang's family carried the vermilion lacquer gift box.
The gift box was about four feet long and two feet wide. When two people lifted it, the handle on the top of the gift box was tied with red silk.
The top box is neither pork nor fish, but a pair of big birds;
The second box is half a fan of pork;
The third box is a few live carps;
The fourth box is two sets of clothes for each season of the year, a total of eight sets of clothes;
Many people don’t know what the fifth box is;
The sixth box is a money box. The lid of the box is opened at a corner, revealing a wad of money pressed by white jade. I can’t see how much it is, but it must be more than 6 yuan.
This period belongs to the era of no ups and downs. Many people no longer understand the old rituals, and they have not learned the new customs thoroughly.
Therefore, everyone guessed wildly, what are these gifts and how much are they worth?
Curiosity, envy, jealousy, hatred, all kinds of emotions come together.
"Why did you get two birds at the beginning? It's gray and burnt, and it doesn't look good."
"Looks like a duck."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Those are wild geese, also called wild geese. These are two wild geese, one male and one female, which were specially caught by Zhou Yan." After Sister Hu said this, the older ones would understand immediately.
"Oh, this is the most important gift in the past. It says that a man should treat the girl wholeheartedly for the rest of his life, and never change his mind."
When these words came out, the eyes of the girls and daughters-in-law in the whole village turned red, and the sour water in their hearts really filled up several ponds in Dakeng Village.
Didn’t you say that Zhou Yan is a lazy man? Didn't you say he was a jerk? How do **** know so much?
If there is a **** who can be so infatuated with them, even if the other party is a big hooligan, they will marry!
In front of these gift boxes, Sister Hu has been accompanying Zhou Yan. The eldest daughter and the younger daughter-in-law look at Zhou Yan, and they all turn red.
How can there be such an outstanding man in the world?
Where is he a bastard? They have never seen such an eye-catching man in their entire lives. The knees are involuntarily wanting to kneel down and surrender!
Hey, turn around and look at me!
Many women from the Yang family also came, all of whom were Zhou Yan's aunt, cousin, and grandma.
A mighty group of people came directly to the old house of the Liang family.
Zhou Yan had long wanted to see Liang Xiaonan anxiously, but he hadn't seen his daughter-in-law for two days, so he thought about it.
When you enter the door, you wander around with two eyes, what about people?
When Liang Xiaonan walked out, the Yang family saw the girl with a bad reputation in the legend.
With a slender figure, protruding forward and backward, a small face the size of a palm, a pair of big almond eyes, and a real small cherry mouth, she looks quiet and cute, especially her short middle, with raised lips, giving people a kind of Very sweet juvenile feeling.
That simple slanted-breasted floral blouse perfectly outlines her good figure. A long black braid hangs down her side. There is no straight bangs on her forehead like girls nowadays, but all fastened with clips. Lifting up, revealing a full and smooth forehead.
Walking steadily step by step, with a smile on his face, neither ostentatious nor concealed, neither humble nor overbearing, generous.
The Yang family's aunts and aunts had already scrutinized Liang Xiaonan with vicious eyes. They were experienced, and they immediately saw that this child is definitely a big girl. Who the **** said that this child is messing with men Unclear!
No wonder Yang Hanlin and Zeng Hanzhi both said that Zhou Yan found the big treasure by luck.
In her previous life, Liang Xiaonan was plain-looking, and she had always been in trouble for dating. She had a successful career, and she didn't want to find someone who could make do with the conditions just because she was old. Later, her parents were gone, and no one cared about her. She married herself. Give cause!
In this life, although she is outstanding in appearance, she will not be proud of her beauty. She follows her heart and believes that the other half is Zhou Yan.
Many people came to the Yang family, and the small courtyard of the Liang family was full of people.
Before, Zhou Yan was afraid that Liang Xiaonan would not be prepared, so he asked sister Hu about the etiquette he should have, so he bought a lot of melon seeds, candies, brown sugar and eggs, and brought them a pile of new bowls and spoons, which he gave to them last night. Liang Xiaobei, tell him to take it back to entertain others.
So early in the morning, Xiao Hongyu and Mrs. Zhao helped cook a large pot of eggs with brown sugar. When a group of people from Lao Yang’s family came, Grandma Liang asked to bring the eggs in sugar water. Everyone drank the poached eggs in sugar water first.
Xiao Tiezhu had already brought all the benches from his home, and went to the village primary school to get dozens of better benches. When everyone came to sit in the yard, he started to smoke.
Sister Hu greeted both sides, and everyone began to say auspicious words to each other. The Liang Family Courtyard had never had such a joyous celebration.
Liang Xiaonan finds this rural custom quite interesting and rare, but she is the protagonist today, so she can't talk too much, just entertain guests honestly.
Liang Xiaobei's mood is very complicated. His sister who depends on each other for life, he is actually not willing to let her marry, but also feels that his sister is old and must marry, so the look on his face is a little strange.
Sister Hu laughed and said, "Don't worry, your brother-in-law will definitely treat your sister well."
Liang Xiaobei said: "If you are not married, you are not a brother-in-law."
Zhou Yan looked at Grandma Liang and him, and said to Liang Xiaobei seriously: "Don't worry, I will definitely treat your sister well. The minimum requirement is to have enough food. I will definitely make her eat meat every day. Who dares to bully her?" , I’ll take care of whoever.”
"Others don't bully her, so you bully my sister behind closed doors, right?" As soon as Liang Xiaobei said this, everyone started booing.
Zhou Yan didn't smile, and said: "Xiaobei, it's too late for me to love your sister, how could I bully her? Besides, your sister and I are locked up in the same room, so it's hard to say who will bully who!"
Sister Hu laughed and said: "Xiaobei, don't worry, Auntie, I dare say that your sister's life in the future will be more comfortable than anyone else's."
The people outside were all overjoyed, praising Xiaobei, "I don't want to part with my sister", and they all booed and asked Xiaobei to start calling her brother-in-law today.
Everyone chatted about Zhou Yan and Liang Xiaonan. After talking about the two of them, they began to talk about children, crops, and potato planting.
Xiao Tiezhu also ate potatoes, planted and dug potatoes with Liang Xiaonan, and had a lot in common with them. They discussed getting some seeds from Liang Xiaonan and Zhou Yan in the future.
The women chatted more lively, Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Hu were talking in full swing, Mrs. Zhao said every word of flattery, thinking that Mrs. Hu could say a good marriage to Daniu, Erniu and Xiao Hongyu.
Zhou Yan watched them chat enthusiastically, and sneaked up to Liang Xiaonan, grabbed her hand, blushed, and said, "Do you like it?"
"like."
"Which do you like?"
"you!"
Oh, Zhou Yan's heart is going to fly to the sky, he really wants to hug his little wife, he really wants to marry his little wife home right now, watch him eat, hug him to sleep!
Only giggles are left!
"It's not good for others to see, you should go out." He is the focus today, and everyone is watching his every move.
Zhou Yan nodded and said, "I'll come back after they leave later."
He was about to leave when he saw Xiao Hongyu hurriedly bypassing the crowd from the outside, walked up to Mrs. Zhao, and said a word. Mrs. Zhao also looked anxiously, looked into the room, and said to Sister Hu: "I'm a little thing, go out for a while."
Before she could go out, a person broke in from the door, found a stool in the yard, placed it in the middle of the yard, sat like a gentleman, facing the door of the main room, and said, "Liang Xiaonan, why don't you go to your husband's house?" Tell me?"
