Chapter 307 Eve of Wedding
Shen Erniu went home after it was dark. Xu Guosheng was afraid that it would be unsafe for her to go back alone, so he watched the time and came to pick her up.
Seeing that everyone in the family was busy, Shen Shuyu asked Xiaoqiu to look after the child, and she secretly strolled to the cowshed.
She is getting married tomorrow. Shen Shuyu told them and brought some wedding candy. Gu Jiandong also came over once. Shen Shuyu was not sure what they talked about, but after the conversation, grandpa and grandma were quite satisfied with him.
The couple is happy that their granddaughter is getting married tomorrow, but unfortunately they cannot appear in the Shen family due to their current status.
The couple thought that they would go out tomorrow and watch their granddaughter getting married from a distance.
"Shu Yu, you're getting married tomorrow, why are you still here? Go back to sleep, you have to get up early tomorrow."
Liang Jun wanted to give his granddaughter a good luck in her marriage, but now they couldn't do anything about it. All the food was brought by his granddaughter, and all the pots and pans in the house were brought by her. They had nothing in their hands and could not bring anything.
"It's still early, I'll come over to talk to you guys and go back later.
Gu Jiandong and I hunted three wild boars and made some pig-killing dishes at home. Grandpa and Grandma Liang, you can enjoy them."
Any dish stewed in an iron pot is delicious. As soon as the bowl is taken out, Taotao, who is sleeping, is awakened by the aroma.
He rubbed his eyes, saw Shen Shuyu, got off the kang and threw himself into Shen Shuyu's arms, "Sister."
Liang Jun laughed and said, "You greedy cat, just smell the delicious food, come here, grandma will feed you."
Seeing that he was dazed, Liang Jun was afraid that he could not hold the bowl steadily, so he fed him mouthful by mouthful.
Yang Zhen sat by the stove and said, "Girl, it is inevitable for a married couple to quarrel. Husband and wife should tolerate each other.
It's okay if you really can't tolerate this, just be gentle and remember not to hit them in the face.
Give him some face. Men have to save face in public. Of course, if you encounter a problem of principle, you should do what you can to save face and never put yourself in a difficult position.
There are still many good men in this world."
Liang Jun: "..."
Shen Shuyu nodded, "I know, Grandpa, I won't let myself down."
Afraid that her family would look for her if she was out for too long, Shen Shuyu stayed here for more than an hour and then went back.
It was past eleven o'clock and the family was still busy. A red double happiness pattern had been pasted on her room, and red paper was also pasted on the doors of other rooms. The house looked very festive.
Shen Qiu saw her coming back and took out a pair of big red hair flowers from his pocket, "Sister, this is my wedding gift to you. Wear this pair of hair flowers tomorrow to celebrate."
Shen Qiu didn't have much money. The last time she gave Shen Qiu her salary, it was all borrowed by her third brother. The few cents she had were also swindled away by her second uncle. The money to buy the hairpin must have been taken from her New Year's money.
This pair of big red flowers cost one dollar at the supply and marketing cooperative, which is not cheap at all. This girl is really willing to spend money on it.
"Thank you, Xiaoqiu. I like it very much."
Yang Fangfang also came in, "Big sister, you are getting married tomorrow, and I don't have anything to give you, so take this pillowcase. I wish you and Jiandong happiness and joy in peace and harmony."
There were a few big red flowers embroidered on the pillowcase, which looked pretty. Shen Shuyu accepted it with a smile. "Thank you, sister-in-law."
Zhang Cuicui, Li Caixia, and Liu Pandi also came over. Zhang Cuicui was holding a big red kettle in her hand. "Shu Yu, you are getting married tomorrow. This is a gift from the three of us aunts."
The kettle was bought by the three sisters-in-law who pooled their money together. Knowing that she was going to get married, they had been keeping an eye on the kettles in the supply and marketing cooperative for a long time. It was Zhang Cuicui who shamelessly asked the girl to give her the bright red kettle.
Zhang Cuicui and the others were quite nervous. They were afraid that their eldest niece would dislike it. After all, she already had a kettle, and her mother-in-law had prepared another one for her.
A kettle was a rarity for them, but it was not lacking for her eldest niece.
"Thank you, Auntie, Auntie No. 1, Auntie No. 2, Auntie No. 3. I like it very much. I will take the kettle to the army when the time comes."
"That's good, that's good. This kettle has a very good heat preservation effect. Put the hot water in it and drink hot water whenever you want."
After they left, Uncle Shen came in and said, "This is the private money that I saved secretly. Don't tell your aunt.
I don't know what you girls like, so use this money to buy candy."
A crumpled ball of money was stuffed into Shen Shuyu's hand, and then he quickly went out like a thief.
Shen Shuyu took a look and saw that the total was two dollars and twenty-nine cents.
Uncle Shen came in. He had used all his private savings to buy vanishing cream for Li Caixia, and he didn't have a penny on him. He wanted to show off and let his niece know that he, the second uncle, was the best. So he used his poor needlework to make a pair of shoes for his niece.
"Shu Yu, these are the shoes that your second uncle made for you. Everyone who has worn them says they are comfortable to wear."
Shen Shuyu suspected that his second uncle made the shoes with his eyes closed, otherwise how could he make the shoes so ugly? Not only were the soles not sewn firmly, but there were also loose threads all over them.
He looked at his niece expectantly, waiting for her to happily accept it. Shen Shuyu: "..."
"Thank you, uncle. I like it very much."
Uncle Shen chuckled, "As long as you like it, that's good." He thought about making a pair for his daughter when she gets married.
The first thing Uncle Shen saw when he came in was the ugly pair of shoes in his niece's hand. It was ugly, but it was obvious that the shoes were unwearable.
"What are you doing with these broken shoes? You can't wear them. If you really want to wear them, ask your second aunt to reinforce them for you.
You are getting married, and Uncle San has nothing to give you, so you take this necklace."
Uncle Shen gave her a silver necklace, which was of a nice design. He took a look outside and said, "Don't tell your aunt."
During this time, Shen Shuyu collected a lot of things, but it was not over yet. The three brothers Shen Jiabao came in and handed over a box with a smile. When Shen Shuyu opened it, it was a pair of silver earrings.
"Big sister, we don't know what to give you for your wedding, and we think these earrings are pretty, so we'll give them to you."
Shen Shuyu opened the box and saw that the earrings were very exquisite. Such a good thing must have been bought on the black market.
Shen Shuyu immediately put them on and showed them to them, "Big brother, second brother, third brother, I really like the earrings you gave me."
"These earrings really suit my elder sister. As long as you like them, we'll go out and get busy."
The silver necklace and silver earrings are not suitable to be worn now, so Shen Shuyu wore them for a while and then took them off and put them away.
Shen Chunling came in with a set of clothes, "This is the clothes that Second Aunt made for you, take a look and see if it fits you."
Shen Chunling had it tailor-made, so how could it not fit? "Second Aunt's craftsmanship is really good. If you hadn't told me, I would have thought it was made by a master tailor in a tailor shop."
"You only know how to praise Second Aunt. How can Second Aunt compare to the old masters in the tailor shop? They really make a living by their craftsmanship."
