A tragic journey through ancient times, trying to make money

Seeing the hairpin that Zhang Yunyue gave her, she was also moved: "Yueyue, thank you for giving Xiaoxiao such an expensive dowry gift."

Zhang Yunyue shook her head: "Aunt Xiang, Xiaoxiao and I have such a good relationship, this is as it should be, and this is also my blessing to Xiaoxiao."

Xiang didn't say anything else, but she kept the kindness in her heart.

"Xiaoxiao, you should wear the hairpin that Yueyue gave you when you get married. This is Yueyue's intention. Mother also hopes that you will live a happy life in the future like a phoenix rising from the ashes."

When Zhao Xiaoxiao heard her mother say this, she nodded.

The person in charge of makeup asked Zhao Xiaoxiao to sit down and then put the hairpin on her.

Zhao Xiaoxiao's cousin: "Cousin Xiaoxiao, you look so beautiful in this, like a fairy."

"Hahaha."

"When Xiaoxiao puts on this Phoenix hairpin, it corresponds to what people in this town call a phoenix crown and a phoenix robe. She instantly looks noble."

The praise from everyone made Zhao Xiaoxiao, who was already shy, blush even more and she kept her head down.

Everyone sat in the room for a while.

Then I heard the sound of firecrackers outside the door.

The aunt outside the door ran in and said, "Quick, quick, the groom is here, put on the veil quickly, put on the veil."

The matchmaker sitting in the room put the veil beside her on Zhao Xiaoxiao's head.

Zhang Yunyue comforted the nervous Zhao Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, don't be nervous. You must live a happy life in the future. If you are unhappy one day, you must tell us."

"I got it, Yueyue, thank you." Zhao Xiaoxiao's eyes were red again under the veil, but she was trying hard not to let the tears fall.

As soon as he finished giving the instructions.

The matchmaker then helped Zhao Xiaoxiao to the main room.

Sisters Zhang Yunyue and Zhang Xiaohua also followed behind.

The groom was already standing in the main room.

The bride and groom bid farewell to the girl's parents in the lobby.

Zhao Xiaoxiao was carried on the back of her elder brother Zhao Chunsheng.

Sent to the sedan chair at the door.

Looking at this moment, Zhang Yunyue suddenly felt that after getting married, she had become relatives with everyone in the family, and going home had become going back to her parents' home. Now, looking at the sedan chair gradually going away, she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Wait for the sedan to start moving.

In the main hall, the people arranged by the Zhao family to escort the bride carried the dowry out.

At this time, because the Zhao family's daughter's dowry was relatively large, the envious discussions of the people around them masked some of the sadness.

The people carrying the dowry followed the wedding sedan.

Aunt Xiang and Zhao Jin invited the neighbors and relatives in the yard to have dinner.

Sisters Zhang Yunyue and Zhang Xiaohua also found a seat and sat down.

Zhang Xiaohe said in a depressed mood: "Yueyue, sister, when will you see Xiaoxiao next time? I miss Xiaoxiao a little bit now."

Zhang Xiaohua: "I miss Xiaoxiao a little bit, too. What should I do if I suddenly miss my mother when we get married?"

Zhang Yunyue: "It's okay, Xiaohe, Xiaohua, go see Xiaoxiao when you miss her. Luckily you will both be married in the town, so we are close together. You can still visit each other when you want to go home. You can make an appointment to come back together. Anyway, you have your own dowry and your own skills. You don't have to rely on your in-laws for support, you can make your own decisions."

"That's right. I can go to Xiaoxiao's house to play with her then."

"Don't be sad. This will happen to everyone who gets married. Be happy and eat more now."

Zhang Xiaohe thought about it and agreed, so her mood soon improved.

After having dinner at Zhao Xiaoxiao’s house, the three of them went home.

At this time, Grandma Zhang also came back, but Mo Yan and the others had not returned yet.

Zhang Yunyue went to the kitchen to prepare lunch for Mo Yan and the other two.

Just as lunch was ready, the hunters returned.

Mo Yan held up two hares and a pheasant and showed them to Zhang Yunyue: "Yueyue, you are lucky today. Not only did you catch a pheasant and a hare, you also caught a wild boar."

Zhang Yunyue heard this and looked at Mo Yan with wide eyes: "Really?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Wen and Mo Qi carried the wild boar into the yard.

"bang"

The two men put the wild boar on the ground.

Grandma Zhang, who was sitting in the main room, heard a "bang" in the yard and got up hurriedly.

As he walked, he shouted, "Yueyue, what happened? Why did you hear a bang in the yard?"

When I walked out of the main room, I saw a wild boar tied to the ground in the yard.

Looking at the few people, he said worriedly: "Oh, how come you three hunted a wild boar? This mountain is so dangerous, you can just hunt pheasants and rabbits. I hope you are not hurt."

Mo Wen shook his head: "Don't worry, Grandma Zhang, we are all fine. The young master and we are both skilled in martial arts, so hunting wild boars is not dangerous, don't worry."

Grandma Zhang said with lingering fear: "It's good that you're okay. Next time you go to the mountains, don't hunt wild boars. If you just hunt and come back, what will you do if you get hurt?"

Mo Wen flattered Grandma Zhang and said, "Okay, Grandma Zhang, we'll remember this."

Mo Wen also liked to talk to Grandma Zhang in a nice way, and Grandma Zhang was always kind and gentle to the younger generation.

Zhang Yunyue: "Ayan, you three should eat lunch first! We will deal with the wild boar together when my father and the others come back."

Mo Yan nodded: "Yeah, okay."

As soon as the three of them finished their meal, Grandpa Zhang and his family returned from the Zhao family.

Everyone was surprised to see the wild boar in the yard.

Then everyone showed concern and gave instructions to the three of them in various ways.

Done.

Grandpa Zhang and two other people took out knives from the kitchen and started to deal with the wild boar.

Zhang's mother and Zhu boiled water in the kitchen. After the pig was bled, they would need hot water to scrape off the hair.

The wild boar was quite large, so after killing it and processing it, Grandpa Zhang and his colleagues weighed it and found that it still weighed more than 200 kilograms.

"Roar, I didn't expect this wild boar would still weigh more than 200 kilograms after being killed."

Now that the weather is getting warmer, pork cannot be kept for too long.

Father Zhang: "There is so much wild boar meat today, how about we have barbecue and hot pot tonight? There are many people in the family, and it would be boring if we were alone."

Zhang Cheng was delighted when he heard this: "That's great. There are so many people here today, so it's just right."

So more than ten pounds of pork belly, pig's feet, pig's head, and ribs were left, and the rest was taken to the workshop.

Then I took some barbecued chili powder from the workshop.

Everyone in Lao Zhang's family began to prepare ingredients for barbecue and hot pot in the evening.

Since we have pig's trotters, we just stew them so that we can have pig's trotter hotpot in the evening.

Zhang's mother and Zhu were in the kitchen cleaning pig's feet and large bones.

The men started cutting bamboo sticks in the yard.

There is strength in numbers. In just half an hour, they cut hundreds of bamboo sticks.

Zhang Yunyue took out the pork belly that had been marinated in advance, and everyone started to thread the skewers in the yard.

I thought that I had never eaten grilled fish here before. It’s still early now, so I might as well go to the river and try to catch some grass carp to make grilled fish.
