Shi Guangmei was a little scared of Shi Xiaolin. She took a peek at Shi Xiaolin and told Wang Guifen: "Mom said, wasn't I going to get married? I want you to help me sew a quilt!"

When a girl gets married, they in Shitai Village prepare quilts for her, six quilts, eight quilts, and for wealthy families, ten quilts, which means perfection.

At this time, the quilt and quilt surface were separated. The quilt surface had many colors. For weddings, they were usually festive colors such as big red peonies. The cover side was white, and both sides needed to be sewn with needles!

However, this sewing is also very particular. The stitches should not be too dense, which will make it difficult to remove and wash in the future, and they should not be too sparse, otherwise they will not have a fixed effect. If you want to sew beautifully, you need someone who is good at needlework.

.

Wang Guifen was good at needlework. In the past, her family had no money, so she would make clothes after they pulled several feet of cloth.

"Okay! Just tell mom and I'll go feed the pigs and chickens at home!"

Shi Xiaolin followed Wang Guifen, and Wang Guifen poured the mixed pig food into the pig trough, "Look, your mother, you asked me to go today, something must have happened! Humph, he prepared a dowry for your sister-in-law a long time ago, why?

Maybe the quilt wasn’t sewn properly?”

Shi Xiaolin blinked: "Mom, you know?"

"How come I don't know? Humph, do you think your mother is stupid? Your aunt Shi Xiaofang must hate us to death if things like this happen. Humph, I'm not afraid of her either. She just likes to do some dirty tricks. After so many years,

Her heart is still so dark!"

Shi Xiaolin was afraid that Wang Guifen would suffer a loss and wanted to go to her old house, so she followed her.

Shi Xiaojun, Shi Chengkai and Da Niuer liked Shi Xiaolin the most. Shi Xiaolin was not stingy, so she took out a few biscuits from her purse and handed them some from time to time.

"There's a letter from the Chen family, saying that they'll come to pay tribute later! Guangyao is her second brother, and you and your family will all come over later. The Chen family is considered a well-known person in the town. Guangyao knows many people.

It’s time to invite a few people to come and have some fun!”

When Mrs. Shi said this, she was confident and had no intention of asking for help.

Wang Guifen choked and asked, "I'm going to bow today?"

The betrothal gift they are talking about here means an engagement. The man comes with a betrothal gift, that is, a betrothal gift and some things, and the close relatives of both parties meet.

"Um!"

Wang Guifen opened her mouth and bowed today, but there was no news about it in their family. They only knew that Shi Guangmei was getting married this month and her things were ready, but she didn't know about the engagement day.

Shi Xiaolin knew that Wang Guifen was feeling uncomfortable at the moment. Their family was of no importance to her grandparents. If their family hadn't been doing well now, Mrs. Shi probably wouldn't have called Wang Guifen here today.

After all, in Mrs. Shi's heart, she didn't regard their family as close relatives at all!

"What a coincidence, grandma. We didn't know in advance that my sister-in-law was going to give her a gift today. My dad and my brother left, probably to the county town. They won't be back until about four or five in the afternoon!"

"What? Gone?"

Mrs. Shi didn't believe Shi Xiaolin. She looked at Wang Guifen and said, "Why are you going to the county town? He's running around for such a big deal as his sister's engagement!"

Obviously, Mrs. Shi didn't believe Shi Xiaolin's words. Shi Guangyao usually didn't travel far. He rarely took a break from working in the fields or at the east end of the village. Why did he go to the county seat when Shi Guangmei got engaged?

"My sister-in-law's engagement is such a big deal. Grandpa, why don't you tell us in advance? Anyway, my dad is my sister-in-law's biological second brother!" Shi Xiaolin couldn't help but said to Mrs. Shi that in her case, everyone else is wrong.

Yes, she is right!

Wang Guifen quickly winked at Shi Xiaolin, and Mrs. Shi took it as a shame: "Why didn't I tell you? I told your dad, and he even went to the county town today. It seems that your family is rich now, so they don't want us.

Take it seriously! That’s right, we poor relatives, you are all too busy trying to flatter the rich, how can you still take a fancy to us?"

These words were heart-wrenching. Wang Guifen's face turned green and red. Shi Xiaolin was so angry that she was itching her teeth. Should she tell her father? If she really had to tell her father about such a big thing, could her father not come back and tell them?

"Xiaolin, didn't you just say that you would bring some soft bread to your grandma? Go quickly and see if your grandpa has had breakfast? Hurry and bring it to him!"

Wang Guifen wanted to send Shi Xiaolin away. Originally, Wang Guifen was going to town to sell biscuits today, so she didn't even return to her parents' home.

Shi Xiaolin didn't want to, so Wang Guifen blinked at her hard.

Mrs. Shi sneered: "Oh, bread, I heard that this thing is very expensive and costs a lot of money. I, an old woman, can't afford it!"

Shi Xiaolin wanted to drag Wang Guifen and leave. Wang Guifen's eyes were full of prayers, but Shi Xiaolin had no choice but to go out.

Shi Xiaojun and others also followed out. Shi Xiaojun licked the cookie crumbs on his hands: "Sister Xiaolin, do you still dare to come to our house? My mother and my sister told me that if we see you again, you will be ruined.

!”

Shi Xiaojun was only fifteen years old and stopped going to school. He took care of Ying Qiaozhen's children at home all day long. Although this child was greedy, he had a good mind.

"Take care of themselves first! By the way, Xiaojun, how is that Ji Yongxin?"

"My sister said that as long as my mother said that Ji Yongxin was her son-in-law, it would be a family matter, and the comrades at the police station would not care about family matters! Sister Xiaolin, my sister and the others are going to the provincial capital. Is the provincial capital big?

"

Shi Xiaolin looked at the boy who reached her shoulders. He was only fifteen years old. He didn't go to school. He took care of the children at home for his elder brother and sister-in-law. He was dressed in dirty clothes all day long. He Wenqun, a mother, didn't seem to like her son that much.

"Big! Big, big, bigger than our county! Xiaojun, if your sister and Ji Yongxin get together, then you can go and see them get married in the provincial capital!"

Shi Xiaojun was full of joy. Shi Xiaolin went home and took a few pieces of bread, but did not go to the old house for a long time.

Tao Zi, on the other hand, first went to the supply and marketing cooperative, cut two pounds of meat, bought a bottle of wine, and went to Wu Qigui's house.

"Uncle Wu, did you know that our family lives in a village? We don't have many elders or relatives here, so we can only find you as the matchmaker!"

Wu Qigui is the head of Shitai Village. He is the matchmaker for several families in the village who have no relatives, so he immediately agreed: "Okay, what day?"

"If you want to get engaged, it will be on the seventh day of next month!"

Wu Qigui agreed. Tao Zi had no father, and his mother Jin Shu didn't care about anything. He asked Wu Qigui some steps and etiquette for getting engaged, for fear that he would cause some jokes if he didn't have any elders in his family.

When Wu Qigui sent Tao Zi out, he met Wu Chenggang who had just returned from outside on his bicycle. He was so angry that he scolded him: "Where have you been? Didn't I tell you, stop running around and report to the factory tomorrow?"

"Dad, why did he come to our house?" Wu Chenggang did not answer Wu Qigui's words, but asked him the reason for Tao Zi's visit.
