During the days of waiting to get married, Qiao Xiazhi had nothing to do.

Then every day I continued to read books and went up the mountain to dig herbs.

However, in order to avoid arousing suspicion, she cannot often dig up ginseng and ganoderma lucidum.

Before getting married, you can just dig some similar herbs every day and take them to the health center to exchange them for money.

Whenever her grandmother had time, she would prepare cloth shoes for her, which would be included in her dowry.

My mother and aunt are also helping to knit sweaters and trousers.

But I just find time to do it.

If you have something to do every day, time will pass quickly.

One day of reading passes by, and another day of going up the mountain to collect herbs passes by.

Soon it was July 8th, the day for Qiao Xiazhi's wedding.

Getting married was easy at that time.

On the night before a daughter's wedding, all the unmarried sisters in the family must come to give dowry, and a total of nine people must be present.

It means longevity, and if the bride is included, it makes ten, which means perfection.

If your own sisters are not enough, unmarried girls in the team can also be used.

This kind of food is girls' favorite.

What's more, it was Qiao Xiazhi's wedding, so everyone guessed that a lot of candies must have been prepared.

Naturally, this incident did not disappoint everyone.

Toffees, fructose, peanut candies, and brown sugar water to drink, it was simply too rich.

At night, the sisters who came with the dowry would sleep with Qiao Xiazhi for the whole night.

When the groom comes to pick up the bride, they will follow him.

Here, when a daughter gets married, her family members cannot go with her. Only the sisters who come as a dowry can go.

Jiang Yunchen got married and did not sleep the whole night. He got up in the middle of the night, arranged for someone to prepare two slabs of pork, and then set out to pick up the bride.

The betrothal gift and other things have already been given when proposing the marriage, so when picking up the bride, you only need to prepare pork, cigarettes and candy.

Those who have money can buy more, and those who don’t have money can buy less.

The pork is not used to exchange for the bride, it is just the custom in some places.

When a girl gets married, she has to treat the aunts in her family to a meal of meat, so the groom's side needs to make preparations when picking up the bride.

If you prepare a lot, distribute it; if you prepare a little, just fry it and serve it on the table.

Jiang Yunchen directly and domineeringly prepared a pig.

This move made Qiao Xiazhi's aunt very happy.

There is no custom of blocking the door when welcoming the bride here. On the contrary, the son-in-law has to be welcomed with good tea.

But as the new son-in-law, he also has to show his respect. Cigarettes have to be prepared, and all the cooks in the kitchen on my parents-in-law's side have to give out cigarettes.

Others only gave one, but Jiang Yunchen was so domineering that he gave everyone a pack. Even if it was the cheapest one, people had to buy a lot.

But he was willing to marry a wife and be happy about it.

The rest is just handing out wedding candies.

Jiang Yunchen couldn't tell the difference, so he just handed the prepared things to his elder and younger uncles to deal with.

It's no big ceremony. Once the things are handed over, the man takes his wife to offer tea to his parents-in-law, changes their words, burns incense to the ancestors, and then he can take his wife home.

The moment Jiang Yunchen picked up his wife and carried her horizontally, he was as happy as a child who had found a treasure, and the corners of his mouth almost stretched to the back of his head.

I carried my wife onto the vehicle and made sure that the team loading the dowry had loaded all of it onto the tractor, and nothing was left behind.

They can go home after the firecrackers sound.

The person driving today is Su Fang and the person sitting in the passenger seat is Dong Zhi.

Jiang Yunchen and Qiao Xiazhi sat in the second row.

The remaining sisters sat in the back of the tractor.

In order to coordinate with the tractor, the wedding car in front cannot drive too fast.

However, Jiang Yunchen arrived early, so he could have lunch when he got home.

There were only some friends and neighbors of Jiang Yunchen, as well as the sisters from Qiao Xiazhi's group who were there to send off the bride, and the drivers of the two tractors that were delivering the dowry, so there were exactly five tables sitting together.

There were few people, so their lunch was very sumptuous.

After lunch, the sisters who came to see the bride off could take the candy packets and red envelopes and follow the tractor back to the brigade.

However, Qiao Dongzhi, Qiao Moli, and Qiao Xiaohua were all on summer vacation. It was a rare opportunity for them to go to the city, so they all followed their brother-in-law's arrangements and stayed here for two days, waiting to go back with Qiao Xiazhi when he returned home on the third day.

This won't affect anything.

It was a nice occasion when a few kids came to the house and it was lively, and grandma was also happy.

After seeing off the guests, Qiao Xiazhi returned to the house to change out of her red wedding dress and to see how much dowry was contained in the thick red envelope given by her family.

If she guessed correctly, her family must have given her more than four hundred and sixty-eight, otherwise it wouldn't be that generous.

The envelope couldn’t hold the money, so grandma sewed a red envelope herself out of red cloth.

When Qiao Xiazhi opened the red envelope and counted it, he found that it was not 468 yuan, but 666 yuan.

It seems that the three hundred yuan that she got from selling ginseng was added to her dowry by her parents, grandparents and others.

Jiang Yunchen, who had just changed into a casual short-sleeved shirt, saw his wife staring at some red envelopes in a daze. He wanted to ask his wife if she looked good in the outfit, but the topic changed and he quickly started to care about his wife.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Yunchen asked.

Qiao Xiazhi looked at Jiang Yunchen, completely unaware of what he was wearing. He just felt his eyes sore and tears somehow flowed down his face.

Jiang Yunchen became anxious when he saw this, and he hugged Qiao Xiazhi in his arms and comforted her, "What's wrong? Are you missing your parents and grandparents? We will go back in two days, it's okay."

Qiao Xiazhi nodded and cried even harder while hugging Jiang Yunchen.

Before and after she got married, she really didn't feel sad at all.

After all, I came here through time travel. Even though I have developed feelings for my family after spending these few months with them, it is not yet to the point where we cannot bear to part.

So she didn't shed a single tear when she got married.

The guests in the house had long expected that she didn't cry. After all, everyone knew what kind of person the original owner was.

Although things have changed now, getting married won't make her cry.

Instead, it was the family members who were crying so hard, but Qiao Xiazhi didn't know it.

When she saw such a big red envelope as a dowry and felt her family's care and worry about the original owner, she suddenly felt uncomfortable.

After crying for a long time, she felt better. She wiped away her tears and said, "Originally, my parents and grandma wanted to add 200 yuan to the betrothal money as my dowry."

"Last time I came here and sold another ginseng, I'll give them all for the banquet, and the rest will be kept for Dongzhi's schooling and household expenses."

"As a result, when I opened the red envelope just now, I saw that there were 200 more than originally agreed upon, and the dowry was 666 yuan."

"Our family used to be very poor, and my ignorance caused my parents and grandparents a lot of headaches and worries."

"After that incident, I realized how much of a jerk I was, so I started to learn medicine from my grandfather, read medical books, and went up the mountain to collect herbs to exchange for some money."

"Maybe I have changed as a person and my luck has improved. I have dug up ginseng twice and a Ganoderma lucidum. After I exchanged them for money, my family's conditions have improved."

"But no one else knows this. Don't show off your wealth. For this marriage, everyone in the brigade thought that you gave a high betrothal gift, so our family had the money to buy me a dowry."

"I originally wanted to leave some money for my family before I got married, but in the end, my family gave all the money to me. Maybe they knew I would need a lot of money to make a living in the city."

"Think about it, my grandparents, my parents, they have suffered so much in their lives, and it would be painful if I left them some money but they were reluctant to spend it."

Seeing his wife crying, Jiang Yunchen felt very distressed, but he was not good at comforting others and seemed a little at a loss.

After thinking for a long time, he slowly said, "Okay, stop crying. Today is our wedding day, we should be happy."

"You don't have to worry about your parents and grandparents. Your husband will work hard to make more money in the future. When we have money, we can show more respect to them."

Qiao Xiazhi nodded: "Well, I must study hard in the future, and I can work in the hospital after graduation, and then I can make a lot of money for them."

"Buy them lots of meat, milk powder, malted milk, and nice clothes."

Hearing this, Jiang Yunchen smiled and said, "Silly, we can buy these things now, no need to wait until later. You can spend all the money your husband gives you, spend it as you like, and when you're done, your husband will go and earn more."

Jiang Yunchen called himself "husband" over and over again. I don't know how happy she was in her heart, but she didn't show it.

After all, my wife is sad at this moment.

His only regret now is that he waited for a long time but Qiao Xiazhi never called him husband.

But he is not in a hurry, as he has a lifetime to take things slowly.

"There are several red envelopes here. Who gave them to you?" Jiang Yunchen changed the subject.

As a result, the topic was changed in vain.

Qiao Xiazhi looked at the red envelopes in front of her and couldn't stop crying.

"This is given by my aunt. It's sixty-six dollars and sixty cents. I guess she gave me all the money she got from the wild boar hunt last time."

"These two were given to me by my two aunts. They cost 6.6 yuan each."

"Both of my aunts didn't marry well, their families were in financial difficulty, they had many brothers, and their mother-in-law wasn't nice to them. But both of my aunts loved me, and they gave me this money secretly."

"There were a lot of people outside at the time, and I couldn't refuse. So I accepted them all."

Qiao Xiazhi spoke while crying and opening the red envelope, thinking about the original owner and these aunts and uncles.

She could feel it herself over the past few months, and it was all good for her.

I'm not treating her well just because she's married well now.

If she really has the ability in the future, these aunts and uncles at home will help her to some extent.

So now Jiang Yunchen must be made aware of this, after all, we will be a real family in the future.

When a couple lives together, some secrets can be kept secret, but some things still need to be discussed together.
