As soon as I entered the house, the lightning outside was like a machete about to strike down, and the thunder sounded like it was exploding overhead.
The two children seemed to be frightened and hurriedly led them into the space.
Let the two of them listen to the early education machine while she makes clothes.
We had to prepare all the coats and cotton-padded clothes. We brought the cotton for the bedding. I saw that the old man had cooked a lot of leather, and he might be able to make a leather mattress. When we went out an hour later, the rain had stopped, and it was a thunderstorm.
There is water in the yard. This rain is really heavy.
It didn't feel cool after the rain. I really don't like this kind of weather. If I enter the space again, I won't go out today.
I think that I am actually the one who relies on space the most.
I went out to light the fire at four o'clock the next day, otherwise the room would feel even more humid.
For breakfast, I steamed egg custard for the two children. I ate porridge.
I took out a pair of black rain boots from the space. I said they were obtained from a foreign ship in Hong Kong.
Chen Miao muttered, "This is the only way. All the good things are going to foreigners. In fact, they may not have invented this thing, so it is easier for them."
It's already five o'clock after the horses are fed. Luo Bingyuan and the others should be here, right?
People really couldn't help but talk. As I was thinking about it, I heard a knock on the door.
Looking at the two carriages outside, there was mud on the wheels, but not much.
"Isn't it raining?"
"No." Luo Bingyuan shook his head.
"It's true. It was stormy here yesterday. It's good that it didn't rain. Have you eaten?"
"We've eaten. Let's go. It's cool now. Should we separate?"
Chen Miao directed several people to load the vehicles, and put each betrothal gift on one vehicle, so as to save time on dividing it up when the time comes.
There are still places where water accumulates in the city, but there are no more after leaving the city. The roads are still quite dry. Didn't it rain at all yesterday? It really rained again and again.
It's still cooler than usual today because of the rain.
They all arrived at the Butcher's village. Luo Bingyuan stayed, but Chen Miaoniang didn't stay here. The old lady wanted to stay with her granddaughter, so the three of them went to the Butcher's cousin's house.
It can be said that these three families all have low self-esteem and their daughters have problems. So there is nothing difficult at all.
The betrothal gifts are all the same, and they are at the common level in this world.
Lihong is different from the other two girls. After all, she is married for the second time.
That era was different from later generations. Although there were many second marriages, people still paid attention to them.
Cheng Dong didn't care about this. He thought it would be great if a woman could marry him. Besides, Lihong had a gentle personality and was beautiful.
Although there are still some plots, they are nothing in comparison.
The Zhou family was quite satisfied with the betrothal gift. There was so much cotton and cloth. It also cost a lot of money. The most important thing was that they also brought the dowry box, which looked very beautiful.
Applying for an appointment and applying for a marriage is a process. After all, everything has been discussed.
Many people from the Zhou family came over to see it. Although Cheng Dong was missing an arm, they thought it was nothing after all, their daughter was married for the second time.
Their wedding is on the day before the Lunar New Year. There are still several months to go.
However, for the two newlyweds, they are already a married couple. They are just about to take the final step into the bridal chamber.
There were no troublemakers, so everything went smoothly.
"Auntie, let's go back first."
"How can that be done? Just stay at home and eat. Everything has been prepared. There is nothing else. Just a common meal."
Chen Miao really didn't want to do it, but she knew that unless there were special circumstances, it would be normal to have a meal.
"Then I'll trouble Auntie,"
"No trouble, no trouble."
The two children can't stay here any longer. "Auntie, I'm pushing them around."
"Zhong, let my Xiaorui follow."
Chen Miao shook her head, "Auntie, I'd better work with you. I don't have anything to do here. I'm just wandering around. These two can't stay in the same place."
After the three mothers left Zhou's house, they walked along the main road in the village.
In fact, things are the same in the countryside now. It's just that the walls of the houses here are thick. The main reason is that the temperature is too low in winter. If the walls are thin, they won't survive the winter at all.
A group of children ran behind. Chen Miao smiled and called them over and gave each of them a piece of candy.
It was lively now, and with this group of children accompanying me, I quickly became familiar with the situation in the village.
Who says children are ignorant? They know better.
Chen Miao already knows which family's daughter-in-law beats her mother-in-law, whose family has the habit of stealing, whose daughter has not yet found her husband's family, and which family's young man does not work.
It sounded quite interesting. Chen Miao once again gave each of them a piece of candy.
I saw some children putting it in their mouths with a smile, while others put it in their pockets.
Human character is really developed from childhood.
"Auntie, look, that is the daughter-in-law who beats her mother-in-law, but she is very powerful."
Chen Miao glanced at the woman walking over. From her appearance, she looked like an upright person. There must be something hidden in this.
The woman also looked at Chen Miao. After all, how could anyone in the village not recognize him?
I thought of the Zhou family's engagement today. I thought she must be a relative of the Zhou family's uncle, but this woman is so beautiful. She is not from the country at all.
The two of them just smiled and passed away.
After walking a long way away, the little girl who just spoke looked at Chen Miao doubtfully, "Auntie, why are you still smiling at her?"
"Because I don't think she is a bad person? You see you said she beat her mother-in-law, but do you know the reason?"
"I know, because her mother-in-law almost killed Wu Zi, so her mother spanked him." Another little boy said.
Chen Miao nodded, "Look, there must be a reason for this. In fact, I think it's better not to talk about others behind their backs if you don't know."
"My grandma told me that she is just a beast and dares to beat her elders."
Chen Miao smiled and said nothing more. There was no need to argue with a child.
Under the influence of their family members, they view things in the same way as the adults at home.
It was already ten o'clock, and the sun outside was too strong, so Chen Miao pushed the two children back.
Lidong and Lihong of the Zhou family were talking in the room.
Although Lihong is usually silent, she is an understanding person.
She knew what men cared about, so she talked about her previous husband while chatting.
"You can let me go back to my parents' home because I haven't given birth to a child. If I still can't have a child with you, will you dislike me?" This is what she cares about most.
If a woman does not have children, she will be stabbed in the back by others. She is really afraid that she will not be able to have children. When the time comes, if the man no longer wants her, then there will really be no way to survive.
