Chapter 914 Poisonous Girlfriend 48
Yuanchun took out three bottles of white wine and gave them to the men at three tables. The women all drank rice wine, which was brewed by Yuanchun herself. It was only ten days old and had just the right sweetness.
The rice was sent by Kong's mother.
When Kong's mother knew that she was going to get married, she sent her a dowry of 300 yuan and a new set of bedding. The money was hidden in the bedding.
Kong's mother was worried that if someone knew about the huge sum of money she transferred, it would cause trouble for her daughter and son-in-law, so she sewed the money into her bedding so that no one would know.
However, Yuanchun's wedding date was too coincidental, only three days apart from her brother's. Kong's mother had to arrange her son's marriage and also had to go to work, so she had no time to attend her daughter and son-in-law's wedding. Kong's mother could only give her daughter more money from other sources.
Kong's mother bought Yuanchun a Lenin suit and two pairs of leather shoes, and also sent Yu Hegui a new set of clothes and a pair of leather shoes.
When Yu Hegui got married, his three sisters and parents sent here lots of bags and small bags of food, clothes and other useful things.
Each of my three sisters sent twenty yuan as a gift.
Yu's father and mother sent tickets for a pair of watches, a bicycle, a set of bedding, some cloth, and six hundred yuan. These were all the money the two elders had saved for their son to marry. Since their son married a female educated youth in the countryside, they sent all the money and tickets to their son and daughter-in-law and let them buy the things themselves.
Yu's father and mother's thoughts were similar to those of Confucius' mother. The two elders also sewed money bills into their bedding and then wrote letters to tell their son.
In fact, they really wanted to come to their son's wedding and see him get married with their own eyes, but Shucheng was too far away from the Northeast, and it would take more than a month to go back and forth by train. They couldn't take so many days off to come.
It was only after Yuanchun got married and the village had started working that she received the gifts sent by her in-laws.
Yuanchun and Yu Hegui took a day off and went to the county town. As they had too many packages and things, they could not take them all back. Yuanchun spent one dollar to hire a cart and also bought a few large vats and had the cart take them back.
The small package was stuffed into the big vat, and the bedding was placed on top of the big vat. When they entered the village, several aunties and ladies in the village saw that they had brought back a large cart of things and gathered around. Yuanchun smiled and said, "I bought a few big vats. It's inconvenient to have no water vats at home. My mother-in-law also sent me bedding. After all, it's my son's wedding, and my mother-in-law loves her son and daughter-in-law and is afraid that we will be cold."
A thick layer of corn stalks was laid in the middle and on the top of the vat to prevent it from being damaged by bumps on the road. No one saw the small package inside. An old lady wanted to open it to have a look, but Yuanchun stopped her with a smile, "Auntie, Agui and I haven't had lunch yet. We are so hungry that our legs are weak. I won't chat with you anymore."
Then tell the driver to hurry up.
After returning home, Yuanchun turned around and wanted to close the gate, but saw the group of aunts and ladies coming over with their grandchildren.
Yuanchun quickly took the small packages into the house and stuffed them into the wardrobe.
When she came out, several aunts and ladies had already entered the yard.
Yuanchun smiled and said, "Auntie Ge, you guys wait here for a while. I'll bring down the big water jar and wash it."
"Ah Chun, I'll do the lifting, you go take a rest."
"Then I'll take the bedding in."
Yuanchun didn't want to entertain this group of gossipy aunts and grandmas, as well as those children, who, after entering the yard, would rummage around here and there.
Yuanchun quickly took the bedding back to the house, stuffed it into the closet, and locked it.
