Reborn as a widow in the 70s

On Saturday, Sihong took a day off to help out at home.Lu Aiguo went to work normally.

In fact, there is no work that Lu Aiguo can do, it is basically a woman's business.

Song Xiuxiu rechecked all the dowry she was going to give, and specifically asked Lu Aiguo to go to a credit union in the city to exchange for some wrinkle-free new money.

Song Xiuxiu stuffed some of the [-]-[-]-cent bedding into the dowry quilt. This was a custom in their hometown and was prepared for the person who made their bed.

He also took out some money, ranging from a few cents to ten yuan, and sewed it into a belt with a piece of red cloth, and stuffed the money inside. This is for the three reds to be tied around his waist tomorrow. My hometown calls this pressing. Money.

Although Song Xiuxiu didn't have these when she got married, seeing that girls from other families had them when they got married, she prepared them all for Sanhong.

Finally, there was some change of [-] and [-] cents, which Song Xiuxiu put into a red envelope folded with red paper, to be used as wedding money when the man comes to pick up the bride tomorrow.

After arranging the money, it’s time to pick up the bride tomorrow. Wang Guilan is an expert in this aspect. She will see off the female guest tomorrow, so just listen to her on everything.

Sanhong rarely goes out and doesn't have many friends in the compound, so Sihong brought the bridesmaid here.

In addition to Caifeng, who lives in the same room, there are two other colleagues from the supply and marketing cooperative. Counting her, there are four bridesmaids in total.

Yaya was not idle that day either. She took a pair of scissors and skillfully cut out a lot of happy words. Not only was her house covered with happy words, she even contracted the happy words and window decorations for Liu Donglin's house next door.

Because he had to go to school, Zhao Xuewen wrote the word "happy" and the couplet two days in advance.

After more than two months of hard practice and Teacher Xu's patient guidance, Zhao Xuewen's calligraphy has become very polished.

Lu Aiguo and Liu Donglin posted all these things before going to work this morning.

The small trees and small stones can now stand on their own, and can even take two steps forward, but they are wobbly and ready to fall down at any time.

Since there were many people at home today, Qian Cuicui brought the two little ones to her home. They were a careful girl, and Song Xiuxiu was relieved to have her help take care of them.

The busy day is finally over, and dinner is eaten in the cafeteria.

The bridesmaids will also stay at the Lu family tonight, but Zhao Xuewen is moved to Liu Donglin's house next door.

Song Xiuxiu mentioned casually before that there was a wedding custom in her hometown called kang, which is to find a little boy to sleep on the wedding bed the night before the wedding.

Unexpectedly, Liu Donglin took it seriously and strongly asked Zhao Xuewen to sleep there.

Song Xiuxiu asked Zhao Xuewen to carry her own quilt, so that she didn't have to dirty the newcomer's quilt.

Yaya was very happy today. Her room suddenly became lively and she was so excited that she almost couldn't sleep.

After everyone had rested, Song Xiuxiu called Sanhong to Zhao Xuewen's room alone.

There were only two sisters in the empty room. Even so, Song Xiuxiu's voice was still very low.

Song Xiuxiu struggled with words and gestures for more than half an hour before Sanhong fully understood what her second sister meant.

When she walked out of the room, Sanhong's cheeks were almost bleeding from embarrassment, while Song Xiuxiu breathed a heavy sigh of relief, as if she had completed a great task.

Before she got married that year, Mother Song didn't say anything, except for one sentence: "When night comes, do whatever your man tells you to do. Don't resist, don't scream, it will make people laugh."

Therefore, because Song Xiuxiu didn't understand anything back then, she suffered a lot on her wedding night. Although her body hurt, she always kept her mother's words in mind and did not dare to resist or speak out. Even if she felt aggrieved and wanted to shed tears, she could not stop crying. I was holding it back.

Now that I think about it, if my mother had spoken more clearly and told her about the affairs between men and women, I would not have suffered such a serious crime.

Song Xiuxiu got up at around four o'clock the next day.

In order not to disturb the two little ones' sleep, she put on Sanhong's makeup in Zhao Xuewen's room.

In this era, people are pursuing inner beauty and simple and real appearance, so there are very few cosmetics, especially in such a remote place, it is even harder to buy.

But this was not difficult for Song Xiuxiu. She first tied Sanhong's hair up high, and then tied it with a red gauze scarf to form a big red flower.

Song Xiuxiu also deliberately left a strand of hair on the left and right sides, and then used hot pokers to curl the two strands of hair into big waves.

Since the weather had just warmed up recently and she couldn't wear a skirt, Song Xiuxiu made her a red shirt. The shoulders were specially made with puff sleeves, the neckline was slightly open, and the waist was tightened, making Sanhong's figure look uneven. .

Below is a pair of black trousers of good quality, and a pair of black leather shoes on her feet, which makes Sanhong look not only cute and beautiful today, but also very neat and capable.

Song Xiuxiu struck out a match, blew it out, and then used it to draw Sanhong's eyebrows.

Then he rubbed the red paper on his hands and applied a light blush on her cheeks.

As for the lipstick, it is also solved with red paper.

Song Xiuxiu asked Sanhong to put the red paper on her lips, and then sipped it vigorously. Although the effect was not as good as later lipsticks, her lips looked much rosier.

After Sanhong was tidied up, Wang Guilan from next door also came over, and others got up one after another.

Lu Aiguo took Zhao Xuewen, who had just returned, to the cafeteria to get food.

After Song Xiuxiu dressed the two little ones, she started making milk powder for them.

In fact, the two children basically no longer need to drink milk powder, but Song Xiuxiu was afraid that they would not be nutritious enough by eating alone, so she let the two children drink milk powder once every morning and evening.

The food was returned quickly. Everyone finished their meal and then went to prepare it separately.

When it was nearly eight o'clock, Qian Dasheng ran over: "Mom, Uncle Liu asked me to ask how your preparations are and if you can come to pick up your new wife!"

Hearing this, Wang Guilan walked into the room to discuss with Song Xiuxiu, then walked out and said to Qian Dasheng: "I'm telling you, Uncle Liu, come pick up your new wife!"

After receiving the order, Qian Dasheng ran away.

Song Xiuxiu sat next to Sanhong, holding her hands tightly and saying nothing, but her eyes became moist.

Sihong on the side knew what her second sister was thinking. No matter how close she lived, the third sister would have to choose her own house to live in. She was still worried.

But she didn't show it, and comforted her: "Second sister, third sister is not married to the ends of the earth, there is a wall. If you think that wall is an eyesore, we will push it down later, otherwise it will still be the same." Are we a family?"

Song Xiuxiu was amused by her little sister's words and wiped the wet corners of her eyes: "Yes, my little sister is right!"

At this moment, the sound of "cracking" firecrackers sounded outside the courtyard gate...
