Chapter 426: Crying to Marry
After the dumplings and the people who were welcoming the bride had gone away, the four of them, Bai Shuiliu, returned to the yard and continued the work they had not finished just now.
“Mom, isn’t this a happy wedding? Why did I hear Sister Taozhi crying just now?” Bai Zhuye asked.
"I heard it just now, and the sound was very loud, louder than a suona." Bai Midou said, "But I remember that when Sister Guihua got married last year, she seemed to cry too, and the cry was louder than Sister Taozhi."
"It seems that you have to cry when you get married." Bai Lixia interjected, "I saw Sister Guihua get married. When she got on the sedan chair, she couldn't cry. Aunt Jiang even pinched her secretly. Only then did Sister Guihua fall. A nose full of tears..."
Seeing the four children chatting enthusiastically here, Su Mulan washed the dirt on her hands and hands from cleaning up the vegetable patch, and said with a smile, "It is popular here to cry for marriage. It is said that if the cry is loud, the couple will be harmonious after marriage. Life was going smoothly for my husband’s family.”
"If you don't cry, you will be considered bad. You will get off to a bad start, and your life will not be much better in the future. In fact, it is a rule passed down from the older generation. There is no specific reason."
“It’s really a strange rule…” Bai Zhuye curled her lips suspiciously.
"There is probably something to say, but I don't know. I guess I have to ask your Uncle Liu or Uncle Zheng. They probably know." Su Mulan smiled.
“Then ask again when you get a chance.”
Children are curious, but this kind of thing is not important anyway. If you get the opportunity, ask it and understand it.
Su Mulan pursed her lips and smiled. She only peeled off the loofah skin and prepared to make lunch earlier.
In the afternoon, Mrs. Gui came to deliver some things that Su Mulan had ordered at her place.
A batch was delivered some time ago, but the materials for making makeup and combs were not what Su Mulan had chosen. So these two items were delayed a bit. We didn’t start making them until the cloth arrived, and the finished items were a bit late.
There is nothing to say about Gui's craftsmanship. Su Mulan looked at it from left to right and felt very satisfied.
“Sister-in-law Gui’s skills are really skillful.” Su Mulan couldn’t help but praise her repeatedly.
"Harm is just a craft of making a living. It's fine if you don't dislike it." Gui was quite modest. She accepted the money from Su Mulan and thanked her again.
"Yes, Shuiliu Niang, let me ask you something. Where is the egg-changing workshop in our village? I want to buy some egg-changing eggs back. I know that Wu Ji sells these egg-changing eggs in town, but the egg-changing eggs are sold well. There are many. They were all sold out when I went to Wuji, and I was too busy to make the trip. I heard that there was a egg-changing workshop here in Baijia Village, so I planned to buy some while I was delivering the goods to you. "
She often runs around to deliver goods to people. Sometimes if it is a large piece of sculpture that is difficult to carry, she has to stay at the owner's house all day long.
Many times, it is impossible to go back and cook at noon.
It’s hot now, and it’s easy for the cooked dishes to be out of stock, but things like boiled eggs can be eaten after being peeled, and it’s easier for He Mulin to eat them with some pancakes or something.
"It's at the end of the village. Just go east after exiting the door." Su Mulan said, "But we are busy delivering goods at the moment. If you go there now, I don't know if anyone will bother to greet you. I made it here last time, and there's still a lot left. If you want it, I'll get some for you, and take it back to eat first."
