CH 28.1

Jijiu Village hadn't produced a scholar in more than ten years, and Fei Lian passed the exam when he was not a weak crown. Even the village head praised him a lot.

It turned out that Mrs. Fei was going to hold a big banquet, and everyone in the village secretly prepared to go to the banquet, but the Fei family only invited a few big families in the village and their close relatives, and didn't let anyone else join in the fun , even the Xu family didn’t receive the invitation.

This matter made Xu Shaochun and Liu Xianglan very angry: "What does the Fei family mean! Now that you have passed the exam as a scholar, it's great. What you said earlier was good, but now that you are a scholar, you changed your mind. It's really chilling!"

Liu Xianglan cursed loudly in the yard, Xu Shaochun heard her mother's words getting worse and worse, and felt uncomfortable in her heart. If the Fei family's marriage failed, then she had to find another one, but there was no second scholar in the village for her. If there was one, but he was still an old scholar whose grandson was as old as herself.

She was anxious, so she helped the Fei family to make excuse: "Perhaps we haven't Guominglu yet, so if they just tell us to go over for the banquet, isn't that just telling everyone in the village that the two families are engaged?"

[过 明 路Guòmínglù: a common saying, means that something has been made public and there is no need to cover it up.]

Liu Xianglan's eyes widened: " Is it not a good time to let the villagers know about this matter? I think the Fei family is trying to change their minds, and it’s really not good!”

“Mother, you can’t say that. After all, Feilang is a xiucai. Naturally, he is a little bit higher."

When Xu He came back from the outside, he saw the mother and daughter fuming, and he knew it was because of the Fei family's affairs without asking. To be honest, he didn't know if Fei Lian would came to the house to propose marriage, but whether he proposed or not was none of his business. Time passed quickly, after March, it was less than ten days before he got married.

A piece of red cloth was bought back from the city, but only now he had the time to sew it. If he didn't rush to work, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to wear the wedding dress on the wedding day. If it wasn't for the family's land being managed by him alone, that wouldn't be the case.

He entered the room without hesitation, washed his hands and went back to the room to make clothes, Xu Shaochun passed by outside the door, glanced at the redness in the room, her eyes were a little hot, she snorted and went back to the room on her own.

Xu He sewed the wedding clothes cherishingly, and Xu Changren gave him the money for the cloth.

Most of the family's money was in Liu Xianglan's hands, and she had no hope for Liu Xianglan to give him money to buy cloth for wedding dress.

Xu Changren didn't like to ask about these trivial matters in the family, but he thought that if he didn't even have a wedding dress when he got married, the villagers would definitely see the joke, and the Zhang family would be unhappy. So he took out some money for him.

Seeing that Zhang Fangyuan gave the gift money, Liu Xianglan didn't fight with Xu Changren over this matter.

The money was not much, and the cloth material he bought was not good, but Xu He was already very satisfied. Liu Xianglan was not willing to spend money to treat him when he was sick, and it would be great if the family could give him money to buy cloth. Wedding dress was only worn once and they had to be packed at the bottom of the box. If the material was so good, he would feel it was a pity, as long as it looked festive, it would be fine.

He sewed the wedding dress, exhaled slightly, and didn't know what Zhang Fangyuan was busy with these days, since he had dinner at home last time, he hadn't seen him again, and he didn't come to the field to look for him on weekdays.

Zhang Fangyuan was really busy these days. For the wedding banquet, he had to buy things early in the morning, and he had to hire a cook who could cook in the village banquets. Apart from these, he also had to invite villagers to come and drink the wine. It doesn't seem like a troublesome job, but the accumulation of piles and pieces was exhausting.

He was the only one in the Zhang family, so naturally he was more busy than ordinary families. Fortunately, his fourth uncle and aunt helped manage the affairs, otherwise he would really have no way to do it alone.

"I see that you have already bought enough things. A half pig pork, chicken, duck and fish, as for the vegetables, there are some in the field at home. The house is also tidy."

New wardrobe, dressing table, new quilt...

Zhang Shicheng walked around the room back and forth, expressing his satisfaction: "This time you’re going to get married and invite all the cousins ​​of the Zhang family to have fun. When your father was alive before. Although he was a boring gourd, he loved the fun the most. Every time he went home to do things, he was busy and very happy. "

Zhang Fangyuan smiled wryly when he heard the words, and people with discerning eyes thought that his father died only seven or eight years ago, but in fact, Zhang Fangyuan from a distance future, his father had passed away for decades, and it was sad to say that even though he was reborn, he couldn’t be with his parents when they were alive.

Zhang Shicheng obviously felt that the breath of the person beside him was a bit heavy, so he sighed slightly.

“Please, please. "Although many of his father's brothers and sisters were difficult to deal with, it was indeed difficult for a family with many childrens to love each other. If all relatives were not invited, and outsiders would laugh at them: "It's just that the second aunt may not be able to come. "

Zhang Fangyuan's father's generation had six brothers and sisters. Zhang Fangyuan’s first uncle, second aunt, third aunt, fourth uncle, sixth uncle, and the fifth child was his father. Among them, his eldest uncle inherited the old house of his grandparents, which was in the village. The second aunt married far away, and the third aunt died when she was young. The fourth uncle was Zhang Shicheng, and his youngest uncle was the sixth uncle.

His sixth uncle was the youngest of his grandparents’ child, the most beloved son of the old couple, and he received the most money when the family was separated, and the sixth uncle was also quite capable. After the separation, he didn’t make a living in the village, but sold the share of land in his hand, he took the money to buy a house in the city, and now the whole family lived in the city.
