As the lights came on, only a few households in the small mountain village had electric lights, while most people still used kerosene lamps.

Because they were afraid of being investigated, they didn't dare to make too much noise. Xiaoqin's sedan chair came down the mountain and entered the courtyard. According to the original design, the room where Qiqi is sleeping now is Yan Chenbei's room. It was supposed to be the wedding room of Yan Chenbei and Qiqi. That's why Aunt Yan let Qiqi live there. Now there is a sudden change. Qiqi is not in good health and has been sleeping in the east room these days. Aunt Yan and Aunt Hua discussed and decided not to move. Yan Xiling's west room is tidy like a young girl's room because Yan Xiling likes cleanliness. On the contrary, the east room where Qiqi is sleeping now is where Yan Chenbei lived more than a month ago before he went into the mountains to hunt. He is a hunter and a rough man, so the room is very simple and unkempt. It was when Qiqi first came that Aunt Yan asked Dani and others to help tidy it up and let Qiqi move in.

So after some discussion, everyone felt that there was no need to move Qiqi. They just let Qiqi and Yan Xiling live in the east room first, and after Xiaoqin came, she and Yan Chenbei could live in the west room. Anyway, Aunt Mei had already said that the family would be separated after Xiaoqin got married, and then Xiaoqin and Yan Chenbei would have to live separately. With the Yan family's ability, they simply didn't have the money to build a new house.

At that time, whether Xiaoqin and Yan Chenbei would go to live with his mother-in-law in town, or Xiaoqin's family would help build a new yard, that would all be decided by Aunt Mei. Anyway, after Xiaoqin and Yan Chenbei got married, they would not live in this yard for many days.

After thinking about it, the women thought it was better to stay like this. It would save trouble. Because time was too tight, they couldn't decorate the room. They originally planned to buy a piece of red cloth and sew a robe for Qiqi, but Aunt Yan gave too little money, and the cloth bought by the person in charge of buying cloth was only enough to make a jacket. Aunt Yun led two women from the village and worked hard to make a simple red cloth jacket for Qiqi, and let Qiqi wear her own pants. She also let Qiqi wear her own shoes, and only sewed a red cloth belt on the upper.

It was late at night, and there was no wedding. Qiqi was just manipulated like a puppet, put on an ugly red gown, and then covered with a red veil, and lay on the bed. In fact, at this time, Qiqi could already sit up. Her hands and feet could move, but she couldn't show it. She still pretended to be a puppet at the mercy of others and lay on the bed. Time was tight, and there was no new quilt.

Because he was afraid that the noise would be too loud and people in the town would hear it. When he went to the town tomorrow, the mayor would scold him for playing a counter-acting. So at the suggestion of the village chief, the big banquet was cancelled. Each family gave a gift, took a basin, and took away the dishes from each family to eat at home. As for the wedding ceremony and the wedding night, these procedures were skipped. Because compared to the wedding night, everyone cared more about the mutton soup and pork stew that were brought back. The mountains were too poor, and usually the soup was bland. It was not easy to come across such delicious food, so everyone naturally didn't want to miss it.

Besides, in the past, when the village gave gifts to attend a big banquet, there was always a rule that only one man from each family could attend the banquet because they were afraid of burdening the host family. The situation of a large group of women and children attending the banquet was only possible in the town at the foot of the mountain. The small mountain village was too poor, and in recent years, this rule has been formed. Everyone does this, and it has become a habit after a long time.
