Chapter 75 Shen 2niu gets married
In a blink of an eye, it was Shen Erniu's wedding day. Shen Datian and Wu Hua did not prepare any dowry for her, and there was no red paper at home.
Shen Erniu had no expectations of them, so naturally she wouldn't care about these things.
There was no dowry prepared for her! She took it herself. Shen Datian and Wu Hua went out early in the morning.
Shen Erniu walked into their room and began to search around. She took out a small locked box from under the bed. She was about to look for an axe.
Shen Jinbao ran in, "Sister, are you looking for this?"
Shen Erniu looked up and saw that his chubby index finger was holding a key.
"Where did you get your keys?"
"I took it off my mother's pants."
Shen Erniu pinched his face, took the key, turned it into the lock, and the box opened. The box was full of money and bills.
Most of them were 50 cents or 1 cent. The Great Unity had 20.
Shen Erniu knew that her stepmother was generous and the family could not save much money. Fifteen of the twenty big unity bills were betrothal money given by the Xu family, and the other five were probably given by the old widower.
Shen Erniu took out all the tickets and money from the box and put them into her pocket.
She locked the box, put it back in place, and restored the messy house to its original state. When she was about to leave, Shen Jinbao stopped her and pointed at Shen Datian's cloth shoes, "Sister, there is still money in Dad's shoes."
Thinking that his sister might dislike the smell of his father's shoes, Shen Jinbao squatted down, took a breath, and pulled out the insoles of his father's shoes. He pulled out two large bills, and felt that the money on the insoles was too smelly, so he found a small piece of cloth from the cabinet, used the cloth to wrap the money, and then handed it to Shen Erniu.
"Sister, money, use it to buy something delicious."
"I took all the money from home. Your mother has no money or tickets to buy you meat. Aren't you angry?"
The little fat dumpling grinned, "Jinbao doesn't need to eat meat. The money in the family should be given to his sister. Jinbao is eight years old now. He can go to the fields to earn work points and support himself."
Shen Erniu squatted down and hugged him, "Shen Jinbao, I'm getting married and will never come back to this house again."
My sister hugged him! My sister took the initiative to hug him! Shen Jinbao was happy for a short time, and his bright black eyes dimmed little by little.
My sister won't come back after she gets married! He can't see her every day.
Tears welled up in his eyes, but Shen Jinbao stubbornly refused to let them fall. He buried his head in Shen Erniu's arms and said, "Sister, it's okay. As long as you are doing well, that's all. Jinbao wants you to be happier."
As long as my sister leaves this home, I won’t be sad all day!
When his sister doesn't come home, he can secretly go to see her.
"Erniu, Xu Guosheng has arrived at the village entrance." Shen Shuyu walked in from outside.
Shen Datian and Wu Hua were very unkind people. They ran out early in the morning even though they knew that this morning was the day to pick up the bride.
Today Shen Shuyu acts as Shen Erniu's in-laws, and she is accompanied by Shen Qiu and Gu Jiandong.
With the arrival of the three people, the courtyard suddenly became lively.
Shen Erniu had no dowry and only a few pieces of clothing; her things could be packed into a small bag.
"The groom is here to pick up the bride!"
Five bicycles with big red flowers on them stopped one after another at the entrance, and there was a lot of noise at the gate.
Five bicycles came to pick up the bride, which was quite a grand occasion. Everyone gathered at the door of Shen Datian's house.
Xu Guosheng and his good brothers took out the prepared wedding candies and distributed them to everyone, "Everyone, eat wedding candies, eat wedding candies, there are all, there are all, don't worry."
Xu Guosheng, wearing a military green uniform with a big red flower on his chest, walked into the house with a silly smile and carried Shen Erniu out.
When they reached the door, Shen Jinbao opened his arms and stopped Xu Guosheng from leaving.
Xu Guosheng gave his good brothers a look, and one of them stuffed a handful of candy into Shen Jinbao's mouth. Shen Jinbao pushed the candy back, looked at Xu Guosheng seriously and said, "You have to be nice to my sister."
The brother-in-law looked very cute. Xu Guosheng wanted to rub his brother-in-law's face, but he couldn't free his hands because he was holding Shen Erniu. He promised seriously, "I will treat your sister well and won't let her suffer any grievances."
Xu Guosheng did not treat him perfunctorily just because he was young.
Little Jinbao made way for Shen Erniu to get on the bicycle, and the people who got the wedding candies said their blessings to the two of them.
Amid everyone's blessings, the wheels of the wedding procession turned slowly, and the figures moved from near to far, leaving the Shenjiaba Brigade.
Shen Shuyu watched her leave and was happy for her from the bottom of her heart. She was also freed from the original plot and would no longer have a miserable life like in the original text!
Shen Jinbao stood blankly at the door of his house. He started crying only when he could no longer see Shen Erniu.
Gu Jiandong felt very happy in such a lively atmosphere. He didn't understand why he was crying. He squatted down and poked his head.
"why are you crying?"
Shen Jinbao cried and said, "My sister is getting married. I won't be able to see her every day anymore."
"Why does your sister want to get married?"
Shen Jinbao couldn't answer him and cried even louder.
He cried, and Gu Jiandong stretched out his hand to slap his mouth. Then, Shen Jinbao's crying sound changed from "wa wa wa" to "ah wa wa wa wa, ah ah wa ...
Shen Jinbao: “…” He was obviously so sad, but Brother Jiandong not only didn’t comfort him, but also slapped his mouth for fun.
He turned around silently, facing Gu Jiandong with his butt. The little fat boy buried his head in the corner, and Gu Jiandong couldn't pat his mouth.
Now it was Gu Jiandong's turn to be sad. He pouted and said, "Shu Yu, the little fat boy won't play with me!"
"Be good, go play with Shen Jinbao tomorrow. He's unhappy today, so we can play with Goudan."
In order to prevent Gu Jiandong from yelling at Shen Jinbao, Shen Shuyu took him home.
After returning home and sitting for a while, Gu Jiandong suddenly stood up and said, "Shu Yu, I haven't finished my work yet. I have to go to work."
He ran so fast that he disappeared in the blink of an eye, and Shen Shuyu was too lazy to chase him.
After the family was divided, each family had their own water tank. Shen Shuyu dropped a few drops of spiritual spring water into her own water tank every day.
Grandma and grandpa and Gu Jiandong drink Lingquan water every day. The old couple rarely massage their waists and backs after work.
Gu Jiandong never complained of a headache. I don't know if it was the effect of the spiritual spring water, but it seemed that Gu Jiandong had endless energy every day. There were several hard grounds in the team that were difficult to turn over, and all of them were done by Gu Jiandong. The shovel in his hand left afterimages every day.
Gu Jiandong returned to the field, picked up a shovel and started turning the crops.
Zhou Jingchen, who was sitting across from him, felt jealous when he saw Gu Jiandong.
He should be the educated youth living in the Shen family. He is the one that the Shen family should take care of. It must be this fool who has robbed him of the life that originally belonged to him.
Zhou Jingchen became more and more angry, so he stood up and went to find Shen Erzhu.
"Captain, I want to turn the soil, too!" Even if it was an easy job, he wanted to do it too.
"Turning the soil? You can't even pull out the weeds properly, and you still want to turn the soil?" Shen Erzhu was afraid that he would dig his feet with the shovel.
"Captain, don't look down on me. If a fool can do it, why can't I? Give me a shovel. I want to plow the soil with the fool."
