The happy little days of the Ye family

With half a year left until her daughter gets married, Ms. Yang began to prepare Li Guoer's dowry.

The dowry furniture, including a large bed, wardrobe, dressing table, table and 6 chairs, had been prepared by Yang two years ago.

In addition, there are two huge dowry boxes.

Early in the morning, Yang took Li Guoer to the utility room where the furniture was stacked.

These things have been stored for a long time, and a lot of dust has fallen on the surface.

Yang asked Li Guoer to bring a basin of water, and then found two unused rags. Mother and daughter carefully scrubbed all the furniture.

All the furniture here is made of fine wood. Yang and Li Huhu put a lot of thought into making this set of furniture.

After wiping the things, Yang opened the two dowry boxes and then taught Li Guoer how to open the bottom compartment.

"There are two dowry boxes, and there is a mezzanine at the bottom. The money is too big to put in it, but banknotes, house deeds, land deeds, etc. can be hidden in the mezzanine."

Then Yang reminded her daughter, "Of course, important things such as banknotes and house deeds cannot be placed in just one place. It is safer to keep them separately."

Li Guoer said straightforwardly: "I know, the cunning rabbit has three burrows. The rabbit in the mountains has several burrows."

"It's fair to say that it's rough but not rough. I don't care about your private money from now on, or the money that Xilin will entrust to you for safekeeping. Remember to put it in separate places."

"If your home is robbed, nothing will be lost."

Every village has some idle and second-rate people. These bad guys don't work for themselves, but like to do some sneaky things.

"Anyone else dares to come here and steal something? I will make sure he never comes back." Li Guo'er, a petty thief, is not afraid at all.

Mrs. Ye Yang rolled her eyes at her daughter angrily, and then persuaded her earnestly:

"Don't rely on your own strength to be lawless. People always make mistakes. What if someone gives you Mongolian medicine? What if they get in while you are not at home?"

"Yes, mother, you are right." Li Guoer nodded desperately.

Although she is not very smart, she is very obedient. It is hard-earned money, so it is always right to be cautious.

Li Guoer only started saving money last year and is not very proficient in hiding money.

In the past, Yang only gave her 30 Wen a month's pocket money, but Li Guoer basically spent it every month, so she didn't have to hide the money at all.

But Li Guoer thought of Ye Xilin. He was a man with many eyes. When the time came, he could ask him if there were some good places to hide money in the house.

The elders of the Ye family are very open-minded. Everyone in the Ye family can keep half of the money they earn as private money.

Li Guoer thought that Ye Xilin had raised pigs for several years and should have saved a lot of money.

After the mother and daughter wiped the dowry furniture, Li Guoer was driven back to the house by Yang to embroider wedding clothes.

Getting married is a big event. If there are no accidents, it will probably only happen once in this life.

Li Guoer also wanted to save face and didn't want to make a wedding dress that was too ugly and be laughed at. During this period, she worked hard to practice female beauty.

After another month of sewing clothes, Li Guoer finally got Yang's approval half a month ago and could start sewing wedding clothes.

The wedding dress was more complicated than ordinary clothes. Yang was afraid that her daughter would ruin such good fabrics, so she specially helped her cut the wedding dress before letting Li Guoer do it.

Sewing wedding clothes is no different from sewing clothes. It only took Li Guoer a few days to sew the wedding clothes.

It is easy to sew wedding clothes, but the difficult part is to embroider patterns on them.

Li Guoer hunts all year round and has no maintenance on her hands, so she cannot make exquisite and beautiful embroidery like Ye Qingqing.

Li Guoer could only use the simplest embroidery method to embroider some simple auspicious cloud patterns.

Like the mandarin ducks playing in the water, or the lotus patterns, Li Guoer doesn't know these, and has no intention of embarrassing herself.

However, even the simplest auspicious cloud pattern was very painful for Li Guoer to embroider.

A small auspicious cloud can be embroidered by Ye Qingqing in about half an hour, but it took Li Guoer an hour and a half.

While Li Guoer was embroidering the wedding dress, she scolded Ye Xilin in her heart.

Li Guoer was busy embroidering wedding clothes in the house, while Yang was packing her daughter's dowry.

In addition to the dowry furniture, the dowry prepared by the Li family for Li Guoer also includes:

A 20-year-old wild ginseng tree, two wolf skins, 4 thick quilts, 4 pieces of fine linen cloth and two silver hairpins.

Yang first locked the door, then moved the table under the beam, and placed a chair on the table.

Then Yang stood carefully on the chair.

Yang stretched out his hand and groped on the beam for a while, then took out two long wooden boxes from the beam.

Although these two boxes have no patterns and look ordinary, they are made of excellent materials and are specially used to store medicinal materials.

Yang opened the big box and found three wild ginsengs of different sizes inside.

The largest wild ginseng root is about 25 years old and was found by Orion Li in the mountains 10 years ago.

At that time, in order to dig up this wild ginseng tree, Orion Li was besieged by a pack of wolves. Despite his natural power, he was still seriously injured at that time.

The Li family are all hunters who make a living by hunting, and injuries are common.

Yang plans to keep this big wild ginseng. If he is unlucky and encounters a big one, it will be a life-saving medicine.

The other one is a wild ginseng that is about 20 years old. It is a dowry for my daughter.

This wild ginseng tree was discovered by Li Guoer and Li Feng two years ago.

The remaining wild ginseng is relatively small, probably only seven or eight years old, but even a seven or eight year old wild ginseng is worth several taels of silver.

Yang didn't plan to sell this small wild ginseng.

The two sons are not young anymore, and the eldest daughter-in-law is just pregnant. She may need it when she gives birth in the future.

In the other smaller box, there are two red ginseng that are about six or seven years old.

Although red ginseng is not as valuable as wild ginseng, it is still a good nourishing product. One tree is worth one or two taels of silver.

When Mrs. Yang saw two red ginseng trees, she planned to keep one at home and give the other one to her daughter as a dowry.

So Yang took out the 20-year-old wild ginseng, took out a red ginseng from the small box, and switched the positions of the two.

The small box was placed on the table, and the large box was placed back on the beam by Yang.

Then Yang opened her dowry box, and inside there were several pieces of fine leather.

Yang took out two pieces of tanned wolf skin from inside.

Although the winter here is not too cold to wear a wolf fur coat, the wolf fur coat is worth some money and is durable. It can be exchanged for silver flowers in the future.

Then Yang took out four more quilts from the closet. These were the wedding quilts she had just made for her daughter recently.

After packing these things, the only items on the dowry list were jewelry and fabrics, which were not purchased.

The silver shop in the town is not big, and the jewelry styles inside are also few. Yang plans to go to the county with Li Orion later to pick out two beautiful silver bracelets for her daughter.

As for the fabrics, you can take a look at the county. I heard that there are many beautiful fabrics in the county.
