Travel back to ancient times and open a Sichuan restaurant

The next morning, Zhong Ruyi packed up the headwear and other things she brought back yesterday, and went to Chen's mother's house with Miaomiao in her arms.

"Why did you buy so many things?" Chen's mother looked at the things her daughter-in-law took out of the wooden box and scolded.

But she was still very happy and satisfied that her daughter-in-law cared so much about her daughter's marriage.

Xiaoxue, who was playing with Miaomiao nearby, immediately shook her head and refused when she saw the box of valuable jewelry:

"Sister-in-law, I don't need so many. How about I just keep one hairpin?"

"You keep the rest for yourself."

Zhong Ruyi bought it so that she could wear it on her wedding day, so what’s the point of keeping it for herself?

She said with a straight face, "That won't do. When I asked the shopkeeper of Duobao Pavilion to order it, he said it was for your wedding. I'm not going to be a bride, and I can't return it. What can I do?"

When they heard that they couldn't return the money, Xiaoxue and Chen's mother looked at each other, feeling a little embarrassed. It was good that their daughter-in-law (sister-in-law) had such intentions, but this was really too expensive.

Zhong Ruyi didn't care what they thought. She had already bought it. Was she going to take it back and return it?

Finally, Xiaoxue was fooled by her and accepted the box of jewelry in a daze. When talking about marriage, the girl's face flushed and her shy face was particularly touching.

"Xiao Zheng, Xiao Zheng said that when I get married, he will build a new house for me. I won't live with his brother and sister-in-law. If his parents are willing, they can move in with us."

Chen's mother was obviously very satisfied with her future son-in-law. She nodded happily after hearing what her daughter said. "Xiaozheng is a good kid. Although there are many people in the family, they are all hardworking. As long as he is a little motivated, his life will not be too bad."

Besides, every household now grows melons, and there are workshops in the village that pay them for work, so everyone's life has become better.

Chen Dongzhi observed this future brother-in-law for a long time and nodded only when he was sure that this man could be delivered, otherwise this matter would not be accomplished.

Chen Dongzhi is the only sister in the family, so as her brother, he naturally cares about her marriage.

Zhong Ruyi is familiar with Zhao Xiaozheng's family. Zhao Xiaozheng's two sisters-in-law both work in the workshop. They are efficient at work and speak directly. They are a little cunning, but generally speaking, they are good people.

Her future brother-in-law Zhao Xiaozheng has been working in her orchard for several years. He is a man who likes to work hard and doesn't like to talk. He is steady and reliable, and complements the two brothers Zhao Gouxiong, one active and the other quiet.

Having talked about Xiaoxue's marriage, Zhong Ruyi's purpose of coming this time was to give her the first gift. Now that it has been completed, she is ready to go back.

Miaomiao held a newly acquired tiger cub in her hands and stretched out her arms for her mother to hold it.

Zhong Ruyi picked her up from the wooden cart with some difficulty, and felt a little dissatisfied in her heart: This little girl seems to have gained a lot of weight since she came here. My hands were sore when I carried her to the town yesterday.

The day before the wedding, Zhong Ruyi took Miaomiao to sleep in the old house, and Chen's mother cleaned up the room where Chen Dongzhi had slept before.

"Miaomiao, do you want to sleep with grandma?" Mother Chen looked at her granddaughter expectantly.

Miaomiao no longer drinks milk. She has been eating complementary food since the past two months. The family also bought a ewe with lambs to produce milk specifically for her.

The little girl was held in Zhong Ruyi's arms, who put his arms around her neck and looked at Chen's mother who was talking. There was some resistance on her face, and she frowned and said nothing.

Seeing her expression, Chen's mother pretended to be sad, "Miao Miao doesn't want to sleep with Grandma? There is your favorite little tiger in Grandma's room! Didn't you like it very much before?"

Zhong Ruyi waited calmly to see if her daughter would be coaxed away by her mother-in-law, but it was obvious that between the little tiger and her mother, Miaomiao chose her mother, and Chen's mother left sadly.

The next day, before dawn, the lights were turned on in the Chen family. Chen Dongzhi, who had slept alone in the new house last night, now returned to the old house.

Xiaoxue sat in front of the dressing table, with Quanfu man combing her hair behind her and saying auspicious words while combing her hair.

The room was crowded with people. Cuicui, Xiaozhu, Xiaohua and others were all there, and there were several other younger women who were talking to her in low voices.

When the box of jewelry sent by Zhong Ruyi was opened, the room was silent for a moment, and then someone exclaimed:

"This headpiece is so beautiful! This is the first time I've seen such exquisitely crafted hairpins and hairpins!"

"Yes! Yu Wen really loves his daughter. Such a set of headgear must cost a lot of money, right?"

Mother Chen, who was feeling a little sad watching her daughter getting married soon, straightened her back immediately after hearing this and said proudly, "This is a gift from Xiaoxue's sister-in-law! It costs several hundred taels per set, and Ruyi asked someone to make it in advance, just for Xiaoxue's wedding today!"

The object of everyone's compliments instantly became Zhong Ruyi. People either praised her for her ability or for being filial to her mother-in-law and loving to her sister-in-law and brother-in-law. In short, they all praised her as a good person.

Zhong Ruyi accepted all the compliments and talked to everyone for a while. Xiaoman came over and said Miaomiao had woken up and his brother was watching her.

Perhaps the noise here woke her up. She usually sleeps until eight or nine o'clock, but now she wakes up at daybreak.

When she looked over, she saw Miaomiao on the bed happily playing with a little tiger, and showing the doll to her father from time to time.

Zhong Ruyi walked over, Chen Dongzhi turned over from the bed, and the two sat face to face on the bed and talked.

"...Let mom and Xiaoman move to our place. Otherwise, I'm worried about mom being alone at home when Xiaoman goes to private school during the day."

Chen Dongzhi meant the same thing, but he was so busy with farm work these days that he forgot to say it.

"It just so happens that mom is always talking about wanting to sleep with Miaomiao, right? Then let mom sleep with Miaomiao."

The old man likes a lively and bustling home. Now that Xiaoxue is married, Xiaoman is the only one left at home. He goes to the private school during the day, and when he comes back at night, Chen's mother dare not speak loudly for fear of disturbing his studies.

The people who were picking up the bride had already arrived, and the sounds of music and drums seemed to be ringing in my ears, so loud that it was frightening.

This was the first time Miaomiao had encountered such a situation since she was born. She was so scared that she couldn't hold the little tiger in her hands anymore. She cried and threw herself into the arms of Chen Dongzhi, who was closest to her.

After finally coaxing the child into submission, both of them had to go out, especially Chen Dongzhi, who would have to carry the bride out on his back later.

But Miaomiao had just been frightened by the noise outside and couldn't leave home without someone.

Fortunately, Cuicui, who came out of the kitchen to pour sweet porridge for the bride, saw it and volunteered to come and take Miaomiao after she brought the sweet porridge in.

When Miaomiao was handed over to Cuicui, the matchmaker had already entered the room and was calling her brother-in-law, Chen Dongzhi, to carry the bride out.

After drinking the tea handed to her by her daughter, Chen's mother couldn't help but tears in her eyes. But at least her daughter was married nearby and would be able to come home often in the future, so she held back her tears.

After serving tea, the bride needs to be carried on the back of her brother or younger brother when she leaves the house.

Chen Dongzhi bent down in silence. Xiaoxue was helped to lie on her brother's broad back. She felt shy and happy about getting married, but also reluctant and sad about leaving the home where she had lived for many years.

The two emotions intertwined, making her cry. A few drops of water fell on Chen Dongzhi's neck. The clothes were thin in summer, and he could clearly feel the wetness there.
