Chapter 340 Shen Jiaguo gets married
When Shen Jiaguo got married, Shen Erbo and Li Caixia tried their best to buy things for them so that the lives of the two young people could be more comfortable. There were wardrobes, boxes, kettles, ceramic basins, and ceramic jars in the house.
Of course, the most eye-catching thing in the room is the bright red bed sheet sent back by Shen Shuyu. It is now spread on the kang. The bright red bed sheet and the double happiness patterns on the wall make it look very festive at first glance.
Wei Fangcao liked their new house very much. Although the Wei family members could not come, their daughter's marriage was a big happy event, and they were afraid that the in-laws would look down on their daughter, so they prepared a lot of dowry for her.
The packages were sent by mail. The courier came to the educated youth point several times, and each time he delivered large packages.
Two quilts, a sewing machine, a piece of cloth, five pounds of White Rabbit milk candy, and two pounds of brown sugar.
He also sent her some money so that she could buy a bicycle for herself.
Wow, the dowry from my in-laws is so generous that Li Caixia even feels that the betrothal gift they gave is too little.
But there is no other way. Their family is in such financial condition and they cannot afford more. They cannot borrow money to marry a daughter-in-law in a grand manner just to make themselves look rich and let the family starve.
Wei Fangcao didn't think the gift was too little. Fifty yuan was considered high for marrying a wife in the countryside.
She could feel the Shen family's kindness towards her. Plus, she had been in the countryside for quite some time, so she had some understanding of what kind of people the Shen family were like. She felt that she would have a good life if she married into a family like the Shen family.
Everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared, and we are just waiting for Wei Fangcao to come tomorrow.
Shen Qiu had taken two days off. She was also busy today. As soon as she sat down to play with her little niece, she said to Yang Fangfang,
"My eldest sister said that she and Brother Jiandong went to the northwest to visit Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu. I don't know if my eldest sister is used to living there. I heard that the conditions in the northwest are very difficult.
It would be nice if Big Sister didn't go there, so she could come back and have a drink."
Yang Fangfang also missed her older sister Shen Shuyu a little. After she married into the family, this older sister had always been very good to her. After she went to the army, she would send things back from time to time, and her Xiaoyaner also received some of them.
"Maybe my eldest sister will be back after a while." Her eldest sister is very filial. She has been in the army for so long, she must miss her grandparents. The old couple at home also miss their eldest granddaughter very much and talk about her every day.
The old couple are too old to take a long journey, so the eldest sister has to come back.
Shen Jiaguo got up early, put on a neat suit, looked at himself in the mirror, and asked Shen Jiabao and Jiawei, "Big brother, second brother, what do you think of me wearing this?"
Shen Jiaguo was so excited to get married for the first time that he walked with his hands and feet clasped together.
Shen Jiabao was an experienced person and understood his excitement very well. He straightened his clothes and said, "This suit is quite good. You don't need to change clothes. You can wear this suit to welcome the bride."
Shen Qiu had a bicycle, and Shen Erzhu's family also had a bicycle. Shen Qiu borrowed three more bicycles, and the five bicycles went to the educated youth site to pick up the bride.
Wei Fangcao was carried by Shen Jiaguo onto a bicycle. The bicycle made a big circle in the Shenjiaba Brigade. A group of children followed behind, creating a lively scene.
Shen Xue was strolling in the village holding her son. Seeing the smiles on the faces of the newlyweds, she was irritated. She rolled her eyes and complained in her heart, it's just a marriage, why do they act like it's nothing?
They have to make such a big fuss, as if they are thinking that no one will envy them.
How much food will be wasted by holding a banquet at a wedding? Wouldn't it be better to give the food to her younger sister? Why give it to outsiders? This family is full of confusion.
Why marry anyone else but the educated youth? Those educated youth are just delicate girls. What can they do? They can't even tell the difference between grass and seedlings. They just have a pretty face.
Shen Xue remembered that when she went to the educated youth camp to cook for Jing Chen, those female educated youth talked a lot about her behind her back, saying that she was a city girl but her tongue was even longer than the gossips of the women in their village.
This is also why Shen Jiaguo didn't ask her. If he had asked her, she would have been the first one to disagree with her third brother marrying an educated youth.
I don’t know what her second aunt is thinking. She was so mean to her when she was at home before. Now she agrees to Shen Jiaguo marrying an educated youth. She must have been kicked in the brain by a donkey.
What was excessive was that none of them came to invite her to the wedding. She wasn't marrying far away; they all lived in the same village, but none of them came to call her. Shen Xue was really pissed off.
If she doesn’t want to shout, then don’t shout. Who cares about having a banquet? It’s just eating meat. If she wants to eat, she can ask Jing Chen to buy it.
Shen Xue muttered to herself, pouted in the direction where Shen Jiaguo and the others were going, and went home depressed with her son in her arms.
She only cared about her son all day long and didn't care about her daughter at all. Only when her daughter cried so hard would she impatiently give Daya a bite of food.
Today she went out and left her daughter at home again. Zhou Jingchen couldn't sleep well. Daya had pooped and no one changed her diaper. She kept crying and screaming until her voice became hoarse.
"Xiaoxue, please comfort Daya. She has been crying for a long time and it keeps me awake." Zhou Jingchen was really annoyed by the crying. Even though he was annoyed, he had no intention of changing Daya's diaper or comforting her. He just let her cry.
Shen Xue was still annoyed, and she became even more annoyed when she heard Daya crying. "Cry, cry, just cry. Can't you be more sensible like your brother? Your brother didn't cry, why are you crying?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Jin in her arms began to cry. She felt upset when her daughter cried, and when her son cried, Shen Xue felt so distressed. "Don't cry, Xiao Jin, don't cry. It's all your sister's fault. Let's ignore her and let her cry on her own."
Zhou Jingchen: "..." He had never seen a mother like this.
"Jingchen, I want to eat meat. Get up and go buy some meat."
"I don't have a meat ticket, so I can't buy it." He still wants to eat meat, but what can he use to buy it without money and tickets?
Originally he had a job, but this idiot whose head was kicked by a donkey had his only job opportunity swindled away by his mother. Zhou Jingchen was so angry that his heart ached.
Whenever he thought of work, Zhou Jingchen had the urge to strangle Shen Xue to death. Fortunately, he was a gentleman and would not do such a cruel thing.
How can we do this without meat tickets? Shen Xue picked up the whip and whipped him on the back, "Do you want to buy it?"
Being beaten by Shen Xue every day, Zhou Jingchen is very resistant to beatings. Now when the whip hits Shen Xue, Zhou Jingchen doesn't feel any pain at all.
Ignore her without paying any attention.
The couple used whips in the house to express their love, and the Shen family was in a festive mood.
Old Mrs. Shen had another granddaughter-in-law. The old lady smiled kindly, "Jiaguo, Fangcao, you two are married. You must tolerate each other and live a good life in the future."
Shen Jiaguo grinned and agreed, "Grandma, I know, you and I will just wait and enjoy the good life."
