The groom was kidnapped on the wedding day? Fine! I'll marry someone else.
Chapter 46: Too Excited to Sleep
Although there is no need to give gifts when two families get together for a meal, Xu Yu can see that the Xu family attaches great importance to this meal.
In the morning, the four men had their hair cut and after dinner, Xu Jianjun followed Xu Kui to work, and Zhang Hongmei stayed at home.
She looked at the pieces of cloth Jiang Yi had bought for Xu Yu and said, "Normally, the man should wait until the wedding day to buy cloth clothes for the woman. I didn't expect Xiao Jiang to buy so much cloth for you during his trip to the province this time."
Xu Yu saw that she was smiling, obviously happy, so he asked, "Mom, do we have to wait until Brother Yi and I get married to make clothes with these fabrics?"
Zhang Hongmei shook her head and said, "The color of this fabric is suitable for everyday wear. The fabric sent by the man before the wedding should be red or a bright color."
Xu Yu thought of the red wedding dress she had worn before and felt a little unlucky: "I still have the red dress in my suitcase. Why don't we alter it?"
Zhang Hongmei also felt that it was unlucky. She almost forgot about the dress afterwards. After thinking for a while, she said, "No one usually wears clothes that red. Even if it is altered, no one in my family will wear it."
Xu Yu thought about it for a while, and suddenly an idea came to him. He said to Zhang Hongmei, "Since no one in my family likes this dress, I'll give it away."
Zhang Hongmei nodded. Although the cloth was very precious, she really didn't want her family to use the red cloth sent by Jiang Wei's family to make clothes.
The mother and daughter didn't even want to talk about this family, and directly turned the topic back to the pieces of cloth given by Jiang Yi.
Zhang Hongmei is good at making clothes. She makes all the clothes in the house. "Let me know what style you like. I'll make a few for you when I have time. You can wear them when you and Xiao Jiang get engaged."
Then he suggested, "How about I make you a skirt?"
The original owner had a carefree personality and liked to climb hills and run around, so she didn't like to wear skirts at all.
Of course Xu Yu likes to wear skirts. As a girl who came from the 21st century to do beauty and health care, she can only convince customers by making herself beautiful. Wearing a skirt can also let them see her good skin.
Xu Yu nodded. It was just right for this weather to wear a long-sleeved skirt. "Yes."
Then she described the style she wanted to Zhang Hongmei.
After saying that, he didn't know if Zhang Hongmei could make it, so he added, "Mom, just look at the skirts the educated youth wore and make it."
Zhang Dongmei nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give it a try. If I can't do it, I'll ask your fifth aunt for help."
Aunt Wu is also an educated youth from the city, so she must know a lot of styles.
After deciding what clothes to make, Zhang Hongmei said to Xu Yu, "When the time comes, you should learn how to make clothes from me. When you go to Xiao Jiang's house, you will have to make your own clothes for Xiao Jiang."
Xu Yu didn't take it seriously at all: "We can go to town and find a tailor to do it when the time comes."
Zhang Hongmei tapped her forehead: "Just be lazy."
Xu Yu smiled at her: "I'm not cut out for making clothes, nor do I want to, so when you discuss the betrothal gift, we won't need a sewing machine. It would be a waste of money."
Zhang Hongmei stopped talking.
As a mother, she must have her own selfish motives. She hopes that the betrothal gift given by Jiang Yi's family is larger and better than that given by Jiang Wei's family. After all, people in the surrounding villages are waiting to see her daughter make a fool of herself. She wants everyone to know that the person her daughter will marry next will be better than Jiang Wei in every way.
……
Just after dinner in the evening, several uncles and aunts’ families came.
In fact, the person they were most worried about was Xu Yu. They were afraid that Xu Yu would waver again when he met Jiang Wei tomorrow.
Although everyone still doesn't think highly of Jiang Yi, they all think that Jiang Yi is much better than Jiang Wei.
Everyone warned Xu Yu, both openly and secretly, that since he had chosen Jiang Yi, he should not waver. Everyone was waiting for them to choose an engagement date so that they could have a lively engagement ceremony.
After talking for a while, everyone coaxed Xu Yu to go in and apply a facial mask, saying that the facial mask was very effective, her skin became much whiter, and she looked better and better.
It was obvious that he wanted to get her away.
As soon as she entered, everyone started talking at once:
"By then, everyone in Shangping Village will definitely come to Jiang Yi's house to see Xiaoyu. Let everyone see that our Xiaoyu is not only whiter, but also much prettier than that educated youth. Let that idiot regret it."
"Also keep an eye on Xiaoyu. Don't let her be fooled by that idiot's sweet talk again."
"And don't let the people from that Bieduzi family get close to Xiaoyu. They will definitely have some tricks up their sleeves."
……
These people talked for a long time before leaving.
Xu Yu lay on the bed, staring at the pitch-black ceiling with his eyes open, and sighed in his heart many times - the Xu family is so lively!
Thinking that the two families would sit down to discuss her marriage with Brother Yi tomorrow, she felt inexplicably excited.
I was so excited that I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep at all.
Before I knew it, it was already late at night and the only sounds around were the chirping of birds and the buzzing of insects.
After Xu Yu turned over countless times, the bamboo mat under him finally got stuck and he cried out in pain and sat up.
Then she reached out to find a match on the cabinet, lit the kerosene lamp, got out of bed, put on her shoes, and took the kerosene lamp to go out to the bathroom. But before she reached the door, something suddenly stepped on her foot. When she shone the kerosene lamp over there, she only saw a small black shadow disappearing into the darkness.
Xu Yu: “…”
Damn mice, I’ll find a cat tomorrow to catch you all!
After coming back from the bathroom, Xu Yu sat on the edge of the bed and made the next important decision.
She wanted to participate in the design of Brother Yi's house, and the toilet had to be a modern flush type. She didn't want to squat on the toilet when she was going to bed and be attacked by "depth charges" from time to time, and squat on the urine bucket with feces shells when she was going to bed.
As he thought about it, he finally felt sleepy and fell into a deep sleep...
The next day, before daybreak, Xu Jianhua's voice could be heard from outside: "Why hasn't my sister woken up yet? I want to go call her."
Zhang Hongmei immediately lowered her voice and warned him: "Keep your voice down and let your sister sleep a little longer."
"But……"
"If you can't sleep, go to the hillside and cut some grass to feed the chickens."
"Ok."
Xu Yu thought in a daze: It’s pretty good, much more popular than living alone.
Then she drifted off to sleep again.
It was not until dawn that Xu Yu got up when he heard voices outside the door.
At this time, grandpa and grandma were talking to Xu Kui, who was sitting in the yard cutting bamboo strips with a knife. They both expressed their desire to go with them to Jiang Yi's house.
Grandma said, "Their two families live so close. If that family calls their elderly relatives over to cause trouble again, your father and I are the same age as them, so we can handle it without hesitation."
Xu Kui said as he was cutting bamboo strips: "Today we are just two families sitting together to have a meal. That family can't go to Xiao Jiang's house. If you want to go, you should wait until next time."
Grandma: "What if they do something wrong? My granddaughter has already suffered such a great injustice once, I can't let her suffer again."
"With Xiao Jiang and me here, Xiao Yu can't stand being wronged."
Xu Yu glanced at them and walked towards the washstand.
Xu Jianhua, who was feeding the chickens in the chicken coop, ran up to Xu Yu as soon as he saw her coming. He gave her a toothless smile and said, "Sister, you're finally up."
Xu Yu raised his hand and touched his head, asking, "What are you doing up so early?"
"Hehe..." Xu Jianhua scratched his head and grinned foolishly: "I can't sleep when I think about going to Brother Jiang's house today."
Xu Yu couldn't help laughing either.
Zhang Hongmei, who was in the kitchen, heard Xu Yu's voice and asked everyone to prepare breakfast.
