Chapter 276 Teacher Xu who doesn't care~ Thank you WY worry-free+~)
Xu Xiuyuan asked her niece to talk about the preparations for the wedding dowry
"The electrical appliances are almost done, and I breathed a sigh of relief. Your brother came over two days ago, and I asked him to take the bundled red wires and tie them up, and then locked them in the east room of the old house. Didn't we agree to leave from the old house?
Are you going to get married at home? You haven’t changed your mind, right?”
In fact, if her aunt hadn't insisted on getting married from the old house, Xu Suizhu would have moved the furniture and electrical appliances to the new house in advance according to Xu Suizhu's Buddhist mentality.
Be it furniture or electrical appliances, aren't they all for post-marriage life? Of course, the sooner you move in, the better, and the layout details will be more appropriate.
Isn’t this what young couples in later generations do? - After buying a house and renovating it, they start to stock up on things for the new home. Getting married is just a matter of welcoming the bride in.
But there is a deep-rooted traditional marriage concept in her aunt's mind, that is, "giving off" is as important as "getting married"!
When the woman’s family sends the dowry to the man’s family, first of all, they have to choose a good day that is close to the wedding. Secondly, it has the same meaning as the ancient “Ten Miles of Red Dowry” - the dowry is carried by people. The longer the line, the more the woman marries into her husband’s family.
The higher the status in the future. At the same time, it is also showing off to the people in the same village! The bride price given by the groom’s family is so generous, otherwise we would not have so many dowries...
Embarrassing in capital letters.
But since her aunt insisted, Xu Suizhu had no objection.
This is the local custom, so if she wanted to be unique, she would look different.
Anyway, it is not really carried to the county town by manpower, but carried from the old house to the village entrance, transported to a truck, and then taken to the new house in the county town.
In fact, according to her, buying a house in the county is a good investment, and there is really no need to turn it into a wedding room.
But the Lu family insisted on this, feeling that not having a decent wedding room would be a great injustice to her.
Embarrassing! Will she treat her own people badly? Is she really considering practicality?
Let's see, except for the small items that can be brought back for later use of the home appliances that will be shipped, the sleeping time of the large items will definitely be much longer than the running time.
She didn't know that for young couples getting married these days, even if they buy a refrigerator or a washing machine, they spend most of the year wearing a protective cover for a sewing machine without electricity, and they just use it as a decoration, so they don't want to use it every day.
"...As for the furniture," her aunt finished talking about electrical appliances and then went on to talk about furniture, "I asked your brother to go to Carpenter Liu's house to look at it. The furniture is all ready, has been painted and is drying. It will take a few days to take it home after the smell has dissipated.
.”
"Carpenter Liu can even paint?" Xu Suizhu asked curiously.
Aren't carpenters and painters generally separated?
Xu Xiuyuan smiled and said, "His brother-in-law is a painter. We have been partners for many years. There are no good carpenters in our town. Some of them are about the same as your brother. They only know a little bit and can't afford to deal with big things. When the girls in the family get married, they all look for them."
He painted, painted, and finished it in one step. It’s not bad. It saves you the trouble of painting at home, which has a heavy smell..."
Speaking of this, I can't help but hate that iron cannot become steel. "If your brother had mastered this business and opened a furniture store in the town, he would have made a lot of money. I didn't see Liu Carpenter's house built a two-story house the year before last.
…”
Xu Suizhu smiled and reassured her aunt, "Although my brother is not regarded as a gold medal carpenter in our town, he has made a juicer. This is much better than making furniture! According to Mr. Fu, I also want to cooperate with him to build a juicer.
The juicer factory is mass-producing! From now on, just wait and count the money! What’s the point of a two-story building? Let’s build a three- or four-story ocean-going building..."
Xu Xiuyuan suddenly laughed so hard that she couldn't even see her eyebrows.
Of course, it was his son who was being praised, so he had to say something modest, "What kind of juicer can your brother with that slender head make without your bright idea?"
"That has to be done by my brother. I can't do it. I can only talk."
"What can a girl like you do who knows carpentry?" Xu Xiuyuan glanced at her with a smile, and then said cheerfully, "That's right. If you think about it, it would still be useful for him to do some carpentry work."
It’s more than useful! It’s so useful!
Xu Suizhu couldn't help but give a thumbs up when she mentioned her cousin's craftsmanship.
It’s difficult to handle large items such as furniture, but don’t be too neat when it comes to small items, such as bathtubs, dining tables, washbasin stands, various chairs, stools, and of course wooden pieces for little Baozi to play with.
Making building blocks saves her so much work!
Otherwise, just for the tables, chairs and benches in the living area, she would have to travel to the county town several times. Spending money is secondary, mainly because she finds it troublesome. With her cousin as the royal carpenter on call, there are not many small items that the island lacks.
God will surely work it out.
"By the way," Xu Xiuyuan, who became more excited, asked about her niece-in-law's injury, "How is Axiao's injury doing? Did you take a look at the earthwork that Jianbing sent to you last time? Did you patch him up accordingly?
Huh?" Seeing that I'm getting married next month, what should I do if my injury doesn't heal?
In Xu Suizhu's opinion, the earthwork that Xu Xiuyuan mentioned was probably medicinal food.
For example, add a few bone-strengthening and Qi-boosting herbs to Tonggu soup, stew it thoroughly and drink it as a decoction.
However, the soup with added Chinese medicinal materials does not taste very good. It is not only unpleasant to drink, but also smells bad.
When Little Baozi saw Mr. Lu drinking, he walked up to him and looked at him, as if he wanted to take a sip. However, when he got closer, the smell of the medicine got into his nose. He thought it tasted bad, so he pinched his nose and hid far away. Even if he waited for Mr. Lu,
He raised his neck and drank it all in one go, refusing to go to his side again.
Lu Chixiao asked her not to stew. Anyway, he was recovering well from his injuries and there was no need to prepare a medicinal diet. Not to mention her hard work, the little buns all took a detour. How could a doting Baozi father endure this?
Xu Suizhu thought about it. Anyway, he would be able to pump the basic health care solution in a few days. If he didn't want to stew, he wouldn't stew.
But now she met her aunt's earnest eyes, and she suddenly got stuck.
"You didn't stew it for him to drink?" Xu Xiuyuan guessed it as soon as she looked at her expression, "I asked someone specifically to ask about it, and everyone who has used it with broken bones said it worked. Oh my god, why are you so careless?"
"Auntie, you stewed it for me." Mr. Lu heard it with his ears and came over to explain to the child's mother, "I didn't let her stew it because I didn't think it tasted good. Besides, she was very busy at school during this time.
"
"Yes, yes, there is a performance at the end of the month that requires me to rehearse for the students. I am indeed a bit busy. I also want Doudou to stay here for a few days. Anyway, I am thinking about his turtle all day long at home."
When Xu Xiuyuan heard that her precious grandnephew was going to stay here for a few more days, she was so happy that she smiled from ear to ear, "Okay! I'll help you take care of it! You can stay as long as you want. Oh, I won't tell you, there is still old duck stewed on the stove, you can take it with you."
Let’s have some fun.”
Xu Xiuyuan was worried about whether the old duck in the pot had dried up, and left in a hurry.
Xu Suizhu breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Chixiao looked at her and smiled.
"Why are you laughing? It was you who didn't let me continue to stew." Xu Suizhu glanced sideways at him.
"Well, don't laugh."
Don’t smile? Then you should pull back the raised corners of your mouth!
