Quick Wear: Men Farming and Women Weaving

He Daniu, who was standing next to him, looked at He Erniu with envy, thinking that he could find such a good wife. However, his wife was careless and only knew how to work.

The two brothers' eyes were red, while the two sisters lowered their heads in silence.

On the other side, the old lady learned that the eldest son's wife was pregnant, and was happily rewarding everyone with three months' confinement allowance. Xiangru received three taels of silver from the housekeeper.

On the third day, he found an opportunity to report the situation to the old lady when she was free.

Seeing that she had served her for more than ten years, she had always been dedicated and devoted, and that there had been many happy events during this period. Thinking of accumulating blessings for her grandson, the old lady agreed to redeem her, so that she would not have to pay the redemption money to see that she had taken care of her for so long. She also collected some of the outdated jewelry that other people had given her as New Year gifts over the years and gave her some makeup.

Nanny Wen took the opportunity to take out all the heavy gold bracelets and outdated gold hairpins that were gifts in previous years, and all the gold and silver jewelry that could be used. She picked out the heavier ones and filled the jewelry box. She knew that people outside needed these to make a living, and ordinary people valued these more. She hoped that the family would be nicer to her.

He handed the jewelry box to Xiangru personally, winked at her, and stepped back behind the old lady.

Feeling the weight in his arms, he knew that it was all Nanny Wen’s gift. He thanked the old lady for the reward calmly and said a few words of respect.

When she returned to her residence, the maids in the backyard who heard the news also took out some money to add to their dowry, and some gave gold and silver, and some gave cloth and clothes. The ladies also rewarded her with cloth, gold and silver jewelry because she was taken care of by the old lady.

Seeing the place full of stuff. Clothes and cloths were spread on the bed. A box of jewelry was full of gold bracelets and hairpins. Or solid pendants. Add to that the gifts from the master, and it was a great harvest. She asked the housekeeper in the inner house for a few big boxes to pack the things. She didn't make it difficult for her. She emptied all the big boxes that were not needed in the old warehouse and let her take them away.

He Erniu had to wait for her to arrive at the agreed time.

"Brother Erniu, have you been waiting for a long time?" Xiangru moved her pretty face closer to him.

"Didn't have to wait long."

"Brother Erniu, I have successfully redeemed myself and got back the contract of sale."

The two of them went to the county government office together, found the county chief, gave him some silver, and eliminated their slave status and turned them into commoners. They walked out with their newly processed household registration.

He went to the cloth shop to let Xiangru pick out a new set of clothes. He Erniu took a fancy to the red dress with a gauze top. Without even looking at the price, he asked the shopkeeper to buy it for him and paid three taels of silver.

In the quiet street outside, the two talked a lot. They also asked Erniu to call a few more cars to the back door to pick up things tomorrow. When sending Xiangru to the back door, He Erniu gave her a pair of white jade bracelets he carried with him, saying that they were a token of engagement.

She returned to the room, opened the bracelet wrapped in red cloth, and saw two white jade bracelets of exactly the same quality. She took them and tried them on with great surprise.

The next morning, she helped the young sisters to dress up, put on the red dress, and waited in bed for her lover to come and greet her.

He Erniu had already prepared the vehicles, and three were parked at the back door. With the help of the guards, two cars were filled with boxes. Nanny Wen supported Xiangru and walked towards him, and asked him to treat Xiangru well.

He Erniu promised her with a serious face that he would treat Xiangru well for the rest of his life.

Nanny Wen didn't expect Xiangru to like this young man. But he looked handsome and worked hard. As long as the couple lived a good life, their future would not be too bad.

Watching the ox cart go away, she felt relieved that she could escape from here.

He drove the three cars rented by the car dealership to the old house at the edge of the village to move the things, unload the cars, settle the money and let them go. He took Xiangru to the master bedroom in the front to rest. He slowly moved the things brought by his wife back to the bedroom by himself.

Xiangru observed the decoration of the bedroom. The furniture in front of her was very new. The bunk bed in front was also very practical. The bedding on it was all red. The dressing table opposite the bed was also very beautiful. She was very happy in her heart that the man cared about her.

"Brother Erniu, let me help you." Seeing Brother Erniu struggling to carry the box, he quickly stepped forward to help him.

After more than half an hour of packing, all the boxes were moved to the next room, basically filling up half of the space.

He locked all the doors of the wing rooms and gave the keys to his wife next door.

And I told my parents that they would come here tonight. Because we have separated, they are not together.

Xiangru knew that the family had split up and she had to prepare the banquet herself. She went back to her bedroom and changed the clothes she had brought with her into some casual clothes.

I walked out of the room and went to the kitchen, where I saw that the drinks were already prepared. I helped set up two tables in the yard.

Old Man He and his family also came, and the eldest sister-in-law even came over enthusiastically to help with some housework.

When Mrs. He saw that her daughter-in-law looked so good, she was very elegant. She was wearing a pink dress without patches, which was of very good quality. She didn't know how to get along with her. Xiang Ruzhu came forward to support her mother-in-law and helped her sit on the side. She also took the initiative to say hello to Mr. He who was standing next to her.

He Erniu introduced his elder brother, sister-in-law, younger brothers and sisters to them, and Xiangru distributed the gifts prepared in advance to them one by one. Even the father-in-law and mother-in-law prepared a set of clothes.

The whole family happily accepted the gifts. This lady from a wealthy family could actually prepare these things. No wonder those people would rather marry a maid from a wealthy family than a girl from a poor family. They were no match for her in terms of upbringing and rules.

The village chief and the elders came, and the whole family took the initiative to greet the guests. After everyone finished eating and drinking, they went back. He Pozi took the eldest daughter-in-law and daughters to help clean up. She asked the men to go back quickly and not let them touch these things. She asked the second daughter-in-law to go back to her room in a very good manner. He Erniu did not break the lifestyle here. In ancient times, women subconsciously believed that men could not touch some kitchen work. Otherwise, they would be considered useless. He would not touch these things when there were outsiders. When there was no one around, he would take the initiative to help clean up and do all the housework.

I told the group of women to wait a moment and asked them to pack up some leftovers from the kitchen and take them home.

He Pozi and the others were so happy that they moved more quickly. They had already eaten a lot of food and meat tonight. They couldn't even eat dry food, let alone meat. If they took the vegetables back and packed them up, they would be able to eat them for a few days.

After asking the eldest daughter-in-law and her children to go back first, Mrs. He whispered a few words to her second son at the door.

"Erniu, don't blame your father. It wasn't like this before."

"When your uncle got into trouble, your grandparents blamed your father. At that time, your father was working outside."

"When the government officials came, every household needed strong men to repair the river. They dragged your uncle away directly. But your uncle was in poor health and couldn't hold on. He died directly at the river mouth. Your grandparents couldn't get over it and thought that if your father hadn't left at that time, he should have gone."

Mrs. He said with a look of regret, "Your uncle was just like you at that time, he was also good-looking, and he was about to get engaged."

"Your father is too stubborn and stubborn. He thinks that if he hadn't left at that time, then he would have died, and his eldest brother wouldn't have died."

"When you were born, you looked very much like your uncle, so your father sent you directly to live with your grandparents. Unexpectedly, after just a few years, the two old people couldn't stand it and died there. Your father also blamed you for not taking good care of them."

"Later he figured it out, because he couldn't let go of his face, so he has been like this forever."

Mrs. He talked a lot like this, getting out what was hidden in her heart, and her whole mind relaxed.

Tell Erniu to live a good life in the future and try to have some grandchildren.
