After he and his mother-in-law separated, he built a house and stocked a warehouse full of grain and

There used to be people in the village who hired people, mostly for things like rice, noodles, corn, chickens, ducks, geese, and bacon.

There has never been a cart as full as Hu Wenhua’s!

People in the village spread the word about what they saw, and soon both sides of the dirt road were crowded with people, all standing on tiptoes to watch the fun.

Zhang Chunhua was extremely happy these three days and took inventory of her family's belongings every day.

As the head of the family, and Dazhu was the eldest son, she naturally lived in the largest room facing south.

The Fan family did not have much money before, but the three large tile-roofed houses were really bright and clean. The only bad thing was that there were too many brothers-in-law, and two old immortals took up several houses. After the baby was born, there would be no room. live!

But don't worry, after they get married, they can build three thatched houses next to them and move the three of them out to live there.

No money, no pigs, sheep, ducks, geese, rabbits, etc. Fortunately, there are still three old hens that lay eggs. The most important thing is that I received a lot of gifts for my wedding!

Mr. Fan Qi gave him an old hen and 20 eggs. The old village chief's family, the Wu family, and the Xu family each gave 50 eggs, as well as 20 eggs from Hu Shuiqing. There are too many eggs to eat at home now! I can’t count them every day.

Hu Shuiqing's gift also included ten pounds of rice and a piece of fine cloth, enough fine cloth to make three and a half clothes!

She has already thought about making one set for herself, one for Fan Dazhu, and one set for her grandma. The remaining fabric will be used to make a few pairs of cloth shoes for herself. In addition, she will wear new ones from head to toe. .

I only have those ten kilograms of rice, so just save it to cook rice porridge to replenish your body. I heard that Ding Jiajia only eats rice and white flour to keep her white and tender. When she is well dressed, she will become white and tender again. I don’t envy this person in the village. A group of girls!

There was a commotion outside, and Zhang Chunhua asked loudly: "Sizhu, what's going on outside?"

Fan Sizhu was working hard to fetch water. Hearing this, he reluctantly replied: "Uncle Wenhua is going to the Ding family to deliver the betrothal gift."

The eldest brother felt relaxed when he said that if he married Zhang Chunhua, he could cook, wash, do housework, and serve his parents. Based on his understanding of Zhang Chunhua, he never thought that Zhang Chunhua could take care of everything, but selfishly he thought that as long as Zhang Chunhua would cook, wash, and do housework, He would be able to relax a lot if he took over the task alive.

At least you don't have to rush back to cook when you're planting vegetables, and you don't have to do other things in a hurry while serving your parents.

I just didn’t expect it! Zhang Chunhua does nothing but cook!

And the reason for cooking is to eat well. She stuffs everything good into her stomach first, and the paste at home is even thinner than what he used to make.

She even took away all the money used to make toothbrush handles, euphemistically saying there was no separation.

The second brother and the third brother are even more dissatisfied than him...

When Zhang Chunhua heard that Hu Wenhua was going to hire Ding Jiajia, she licked her hair, which was wrapped in fine cloth and inserted with a silk flower.

She had to go and have a look. A man from a village whose betrothal gift was less than her ten taels of silver actually imitated others and asked for a betrothal gift. What could he have as a betrothal gift?

She had found out that the Hu family had spent eight taels of silver on the Zhao family's hilltop. Having this money added to the betrothal gift would be a great honor, so she couldn't bear to give it.

There is also a new house. Yesterday, thirty or forty men from the village were dispatched to bring back the bricks and tiles. There is still wages for building the house. When Ding Jiajia gets married, she may be like her and have no money left...

Oh, how could she be like him? She is the hostess, and Ding Jiajia also has her mother-in-law, so getting along with her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law must not be troublesome in the future.

Fan Dazhu came back from going to the toilet with a cane. When he saw the empty room, he asked with a dark face: "Where is she?!"

"I went outside to watch the fun." Fan Erzhu replied angrily.

Fan Dazhu's face turned darker, and he walked out without saying a word on crutches.

If his parents were not in urgent need of care and he had lost his leg, how could he marry this dark, ugly, thin and poor Zhang Chunhua!

This woman is so ungrateful!

Today he wanted her to adjust her position in this family, and also let her know that after the first three days, she was not worthy of eating egg whites and rice, and she was not worthy of wearing fine cloth.

Fan Erzhu and Fan Sanzhu looked furious when they saw their elder brother angrily leaving. He quickly got up and followed behind with a cane.

They have long disliked Zhang Chunhua these days! It would be a good idea to go see Big Brother and teach Zhang Chunhua a lesson.

And Hu Wenhua actually imitated those wealthy families and hired people. It's really a joke. Let's see what kind of betrothal gift he can come up with.

Fan Sizhu looked at the toothbrush handles and tools scattered on the floor, sighed, and silently picked them up.

The eldest brother said that it was unseemly for him to do this as the head of the family. The second brother and the third brother spent three days fishing and two days drying nets. Zhang Chunhua didn't do it if everyone else didn't do it. Why should she work hard to support the family alone... This home is getting worse and worse...

Zhang Chunhua walked quickly, and when she arrived, the Hu family had already arrived at the door of Ding's house.

Because the Ding family needed a large space to dry medicinal materials, they did not build a yard. The trolley was parked at the gate of the main house, and the village elders watched enthusiastically from the inside and outside.

When Ding and Hu's family saw that almost all the villagers had arrived, they did not go in the door. They simply brought chairs and sat down at the door to let everyone see the excitement - it was a happy event, and the crowds and bustle made it even more festive.

Wang Guifen and Feng Dayan felt happy when they saw this scene.

The Ding family and the Hu family were open-minded. People from the villages in the province came to them repeatedly to inquire and make guesses. How much trouble was saved!

Today is the Hu family's appointment, most of which are matters for the male matchmaker.

Normally, it would be nice to read out the betrothal gift list in public, but firstly, the village is not that particular about it, and secondly, Feng Dayan is illiterate.

However, although Feng Dayan was illiterate, he had an excellent memory. He took Qin Yilin's hand and said happily: "The Hu family's betrothal gift is a sack of rice and a sack of flour;"

The crowd roared and burst into cheers.

Zhang Chunhua, who was on the outermost side, curled her lips when she heard the sound.

One sack of rice and one sack of white flour looked good. They were more than anyone else in the village had in the past, but they only cost one tael of silver to buy, which was still not as much as her ten taels.

What a trick.

She raised her head and searched forward, and sure enough she saw a very familiar figure!

She squeezed past and shouted, "Dad."

Watching the lively occasions, her father is definitely there! And her father was never tired of watching the fun.

Zhang Tuzi was watching intently when he suddenly heard someone calling him. He turned around and saw his married daughter. He squeezed to the side to make a little space and waved: "Chunhua, come and see!"

Zhang Chunhua squeezed forward. People on both sides obviously had opinions, but in the end they didn't say anything.

Feng Dayan's voice continued: "There is bacon in this bamboo basket, two pounds each, ten pieces in total!"

"There are sausages in the bamboo basket over there, twenty pounds in total!"

"In the bamboo basket are pickled salted ducks and geese, twenty of them in total!"
