The clouds before dawn are still floating in the mountain village. The air is fresh and clean. The lively voice of the Chi family has already penetrated the bamboo forest a hundred meters away.
The chicken chirped loudly, and the gray cooking smoke gradually rose.
Chi Ziyu sat in front of the dressing table and let aunt Qiu twist the fine red thread here and there to her face.
Chi Ziyu cried out in pain, "aunt Qiu, please be gentle..."
Aunt Qiu smiled. "All the girls have to go through this. Just bear it."
Chi Zijiang and his second son, Chi Zhaodi, sat and watched as if they were busy. While watching, they talked about their marriage.
Chi Zijiang talked about her red gold faces again, saying that she hadn't worn them for a long time, because later, her husband and mother-in-law bought better ones for her from time to time, showing off and pointing to her glittering jewelry.
I don't think it's expensive, but I think it's too much.
Chi Zhaodi heard a hum.
She married less than her eldest sister. She was an ordinary farmer's family in the next village. She was inferior in food, clothing and everything.
But fortunately, she is not controlled by her mother-in-law. She is in charge of the family. She doesn't want to do anything by her own temperament.
"Seeing the fish get married today." Chi Zijiang took out her elder sister's shelf and said, "although the conditions of her husband's family are not as good as those of Zhao Di and me, there are evil mother-in-law in charge, but if you are patient, your little daughter-in-law can always be a mother-in-law.
Don't blame my mother. She's all for you. You'll live with Qi Xingyun safely in the future. If his family bullies you, you can come to the town to find your eldest sister. I'll help you. "
Rao doesn't like Chi Zijiang's character of running the train. Chi Ziyu was quite moved when he said this on the occasion of marriage, "thank you, sister."
Chi Zhaodi said unconvinced, "I don't have the ability of my eldest sister, but I will help where I can help."
"Thank you, second sister."
In fact, Chi Ziyu never expected to have the help of these two sisters in the future. Chi Ziyu knows exactly what their temperament is.
The eldest sister likes to brag. She never talks about exaggeration. In fact, when she really does it, people have long disappeared.
The second sister is stingy and likes to haggle over every detail when dealing with people and things. If Chi Ziyu owes her a favor, she has to keep Chi Ziyu and come back very much. She can't afford any loss.
Chi Ziyu looks to see whether it is broken or not.
–
The sound of gongs and drums drew near.
The morning light leaked from the thick forest covered with thick shade and smashed the bluestone brick surface continuously, mottled and scattered.
Chi Laifu carried Chi Ziyu, surrounded by a group of happy women, and sent Chi Ziyu to the sedan chair.
The flower sedan was parked on the Qingshi road outside the door of Chi's courtyard. The Qingshi road was opened up on a steep slope and was narrow, but it was just right to pass the sedan and carriage.
On one side of Qingshi road is a natural brick wall, with dark green moss all over the wall, and several weeds sticking out in the crack.
On the other side, there is a steep slope. There are a bunch of uneven four-season bamboos along the road. The four-season bamboos are not high or low, just forming a natural barrier of Qingshi road.
The roads of Yunshui village are almost like this. The mountain the village relies on is called Siji bamboo mountain because there are too many bamboos in Siji.
Qijia is not far from Chi's home, but because the whole village is a mountain depression, the sedan has to walk around the Qingshi road of most of the mountains to the other end of the mountain.
