Spring scenery in the fields

The first room on the left side of the main hall should be the bedroom of the master house. At this moment, the door and the inside are crowded with people.

Ji Wenhe approached Shen Suya and whispered in her ear: "Let's go over when there are fewer people in the room."

She nodded: "Okay, I'll take you to find my mother first."

I looked around but didn't see anyone in the yard.

"Wait Xiaoya, let's go in."

Everyone in the house was sent out. It was Shen Liuyun's mother, Tao Xing'er.

Seeing this, Shen Suya said, "Sister-in-law, let's go in."

Holding her arm, they came to the bedroom door.

"Aunt Tao."

"Aunt Tao."

Tao Xing'er was about to close the door when she saw them coming over. She smiled and said, "Xiao Ya, Rongshan's wife is here too. Come in and have a seat."

"There are too many people. I thought I would let them go out and talk, close the door, and let my daughter have a rest. The groom will come to pick her up soon."

After entering the house, she closed the door.

The room was fully furnished with a long kang (bedded bed) separated by two curtains.

There is a dressing mirror, a table, chairs, benches and a wardrobe. Although it is small, it has everything.

Shen Liuyun had put on her makeup, was wearing her wedding dress, and was sitting upright on the kang.

Tao Xing'er came over and introduced: "Mrs. Rongshan, this is my daughter, Shen Liuyun."

"Liuyun, this is your elder brother Rongshan's wife, you can call her sister-in-law."

She shyly called out, "Sister-in-law."

"Hey." Ji Wenhe smiled, "Aunt Tao, you can call me Wenhe from now on."

After saying this, he took out a cloth from his bosom and took out the bracelet and hairpin inside.

"Liuyun, the wedding gift that my sister-in-law gave you is not a valuable thing, so please don't despise it."

Shen Liuyun took the thing from her hand and squeezed it lovingly: "Sister-in-law, I'm glad you can come. I like it very much. Is this a raccoon slave? It's really beautiful."

"Yes, as long as you like it."

She put a lot of thought into it.

Tao Xing'er moved the long bench next to her and placed it behind the two of them: "Come, sit down and talk."

"No, Aunt Tao, let Liuyun rest for a while, we'll go out and play."

Shen Suya nodded and said, "Aunt Tao, Sister Liuyun, let's go out to find my mother. We'll leave first."

"Hey, let's go."

After the two of them went out, they closed the door.

Tao Xing'er looked at the bracelet and hairpin in her hand and said, "This Rongshan daughter-in-law is a thoughtful woman. She must have made some money from these things."

"Mom, I like the gift my sister-in-law gave me. I'm wearing a bracelet on my hand. The bracelet is beautiful, but the material is a bit..."

It doesn't match what she's wearing today.

"Put it in your dowry and take it with you. After tonight, you can take it anytime you want."

Shen Liuyun handed the things to her and looked at her dowry on the table next to her: two pieces of red cloth, two red dresses, and two pairs of embroidered shoes of the same color.

"Mom, their family said they don't need our family to give a dowry, so grandpa and grandma really won't give any."

These dowries were prepared with the private money her mother had saved.

My grandparents didn't like them and were especially fond of my younger brother and my second uncle's younger brother.

Tao Xing'er put the things in her clothes, walked up to her, looked at her beautifully dressed daughter, and said sadly: "Mother is useless. I can't let you marry in glory."

Her husband only loved his son and paid little attention to his daughter. But now that she has found a good husband, he has started to treat her better.

Tears flashed in Shen Liuyun's eyes: "Mom, you have loved me since I was a child, and I have never resented you."

In her heart, in this family, only her mother is truly good to her.

"Don't cry. Today is your big day. Don't make your face red with tears. Be happy and live a good life with him."

She felt extremely reluctant to see her daughter, whom she had loved since childhood, marrying into another family.

Tao Xing'er secretly wiped away her tears, and when she turned to face her, a happy smile appeared on her face: "Mom is going out to greet the guests."

"Well, go ahead, Mom." Shen Liuyun choked up, and after she left, he silently looked at the house where she had lived for more than ten years.

Shen Suya found her mother in the kitchen, and brought Ji Wenhe with her: "Mom, you are here, my sister-in-law and I are here."

The kitchen in the headman's house is very large, with cupboards, a table... and enough space left for five or six people.

After looking around, they saw that they were all people they knew, so they greeted each of them politely.

Lan Qiuhua walked over to the two of them with a smile and pointed at the long bench: "Sit where there are fewer people. The groom hasn't come to pick him up yet, so it's too early to start the feast."

She looked out the door: "Logically speaking, the people will be here soon, so we can't wait much longer."

“Sister-in-law, you are busy, we won’t disturb you, Xiaoya and I will go somewhere else.”

"Hey, let's go."

Ji Wenhe pulled Shen Suya out of the yard and the two strolled outside.

"Xiaoya, what time does the groom usually come to pick up the bride?"

"In the morning, the town is far away, and they will be late."

They got up early today, and judging by the time, it's probably not even eight o'clock yet.

"Sister Wen, Sister Xiaoya."

The two looked back and saw Shen Guyan, holding a small basket in her hand.

Ji Wenhe waved at her, and the little girl trotted over to her side: "Guyan, what are you doing with your basket? Are you looking for wild vegetables again?"

She nodded: "Yes, grandma brought my brothers to the feast and asked me to go find wild vegetables. I want to go to the hill opposite the headman's house so that I can see the bride and groom."

She tilted her head back as she spoke, her eyes sparkling.

Shen Suya is three months older than her. When they stand together, one is tall and the other is short, and they don’t look like they are the same age.

"You are asked to dig wild vegetables every day, why doesn't she go by herself? Grandsons are good, but granddaughters are not."

"Xiaoya, don't talk nonsense." Ji Wenhe bumped her with his arm and turned to look at Shen Guyan, "Sister Xiaoya was talking about you just now, don't take it to heart."

If this gets out and Aunt Xie hears it, there will definitely be a quarrel.

She shook her head: "I can't tell you. Sister Xiaoya is very kind to me. Sister Wen, I'm going to look for wild vegetables."

"Hey, slow down."

Shen Suya waited until she was far away before speaking: "Aunt Xie was not kind to her at home. I went to talk to her a few times and saw Aunt Xie hitting her with a broom."

"Won't her parents stop her?"

"No, Aunt Qian is afraid of Aunt Xie, so she doesn't dare to stop her. Everyone in the family loves their two sons."

Ji Wenhe understood, and when he saw the wedding procession coming to the village entrance, he immediately motioned for her to look over: "Here they come."

The groom was wearing a wedding suit and riding on a large maroon horse with a red silk hanging on his chest, and a suona player followed behind him.

"Why are there three carriages? Is there any special meaning? Or is this how all weddings in town are held?"

At this time, Jiang Hongxi walked up to them and explained, "The two carriages at the back are for the suona player and the matchmaker."

"The town is so far from our village. We can't let them walk here. It would be bad if they were delayed."

"They got off the carriage at the entrance of the village and walked into our village with music and drums."
