Chang Geng's family.

Sun came over excitedly with a series of kitchen tools including an apron, a kitchen knife, a small hammer, etc.

When we arrived, there were snowflakes floating in the yard, and at the door of Chang Geng's kitchen, Chang Geng and Gui Hua were discussing something.

There was a ping-ping-pong-pong sound in the kitchen, and it was obvious that the ladies of the Li family had come to help.

Seeing mother and daughter Sun and Yang Ruoqing enter the yard, Guihua's eyes lit up and she hurriedly came over to greet them.

"Ms. Qing'er, are you here to help?" Osmanthus asked in surprise.

Mrs. Sun smiled and said, "Yes, I should have come over in the morning. Today, my in-laws' fish pond has a good harvest and we are treating guests to dinner. All of us have gone there, so we delayed coming over to help."

Hearing this, Guihua and Chang Geng looked at each other, both of them looking touched.

Osmanthus said: "It's almost the Chinese New Year, your children are all at home, and the whole family, old and young, is enough for you to be busy."

"I had already discussed it with Chang Geng. I didn't even plan to call you over to help. I just waited until Xiao Yu came out of the cabinet tomorrow to ask Lao San and Tang Yazi to come over to see off my uncle..." the woman said.

Mrs. Sun smiled and shook her head: "Xiaohua and Xiaoduo are helping me take care of my family affairs. I have free time."

"I won't say anything anymore. You can just arrange it for me. We don't have to worry about that," said Sun.

Osmanthus fragrans and Chang Geng were even more moved.

Chang Geng said: "Mother Xiaoyu, since Mother Qing'er has said this, we can't shirk it. One more person will give us more strength."

Osmanthus nodded and her eyes fell on Yang Ruoqing again.

"Qing'er, I don't need you for the kitchen affairs. If you have time, go and talk to Xiaoyu. That girl, I've seen her eyes red since she got up in the morning. I'm afraid she's a little reluctant to leave."

"I'm so busy that I don't have time to say anything to her. How about you go and accompany her on my aunt's behalf?"

Yang Ruoqing nodded quickly, "I'm here just to accompany Xiao Yu."

"Okay, okay!" Osmanthus nodded repeatedly.

Chang Geng said: "Then let's do this for now. I'll go to Brother Luo and bring back the fish that will be used for the banquet tomorrow."

"Okay, you go and do your work."

Everyone went their separate ways and got busy in full swing.

In Xiaoyu's boudoir.

Yang Ruoqing looked at the row of brand-new furniture and stroked it smoothly. Finally, she couldn't help but sigh a few times.

"Uncle Chang Geng and Aunt Guihua, they really put a lot of effort into preparing this dowry for you!" she said.

These dowries, whether it is the texture of the wood, the style of the dowry, or the quantity, are second to none in this countryside.

Moreover, the tracing and carving of many details are even more exquisite.

Such a dowry, let alone being placed in a farmer's family, would definitely be a show-stopper if it were carried to the Ning family, a prominent family in Qing'an County.

"No wonder Aunt Guihua said a long time ago that in order to prepare for your dowry, they have been making preparations since your engagement in the first month."

"This year, most of the time has been spent on preparing for the dowry, and some of the crops in the fields have been wasted, hahaha..."

Yang Ruoqing said and couldn't help laughing softly.

Xiaoyu sat on the bed, leaning against a pile of brand-new quilts bundled together, taking off her shoes and holding her knees with her hands.

She has maintained this posture ever since Yang Ruoqing entered the door, and it still remains the same now.

But after hearing Yang Ruoqing's words, she raised her head and glanced at the row of dowry in front of her, and then sighed softly.

"In the past, I always dreamed of marrying Brother Ning. In order to stay and fly together with him, I didn't want to go home for several years in a row during the New Year."

"At that time, I just wanted to stay in Xiushui Town, where he is,"

"Even if we can't get together, at least we know that we are in the same town. If he comes out of the military camp to do business one day, we can meet him."

"At that time, there was a stubbornness and stubbornness in my heart, and I just wanted him. Everything else was not so urgent or important."

"Now, I suddenly feel a little regretful,"

"I missed a lot of opportunities to accompany my parents. For my own selfish reasons, I made my parents think about me and worry about me at many such years..."

"I once heard the aunts and ladies in the village chatting, saying that daughters are destined to be raised by other people's families, and they will be thrown away when they get married. At that time, I was still very angry and wanted to quarrel with them."

"Now that I think about it carefully, I am just an ignorant white-eyed wolf. For more than ten years, my parents have been pulling me, but I have no time to repay and will get married..."

As he spoke, tears flowed down from Xiaoyu's eyes.

She reached out and grabbed the handkerchief that had been prepared long ago, and wiped it with her head buried there, her shoulders slightly shrugging, looking as if she was too sad to contain herself.

From time to time, the sound of ping-ping-pong-pong came in from the kitchen, accompanied by the cheerful laughter of the helping women.

This was in sharp contrast to the atmosphere in the room, and Xiaoyu's tears became more joyful.

Yang Ruoqing came over and sat down next to the bed.

"Your idea is wrong," she said.

"Men should get married when they are college students, and women should get married when they are college students. In order to find your true love, you have to work hard and fight for it. Is this wrong?"

"That's right, your courage is commendable!" Yang Ruoqing said.

"It's just that your love life was a little more bumpy and complicated than others. That's why you didn't go home to celebrate the New Year in the past two or three years."

"But even though you didn't go home to spend the New Year with your parents, you still brought home clothes and gifts from all seasons."

"All the personal money you have earned in the past few years has been given to your family. Look at the current situation of your family. You have renovated the house and purchased land."

"The family raises cows and two big fat pigs. Your brother also has money from his marriage. Your brother was also sent to the school behind the village to study."

"Although Uncle Chang Geng is also making money, part of your credit is also due! Don't blame yourself like this, let alone deny what you have sacrificed for love before." Yang Ruoqing said.

Xiao Yu shook her head: "I'm not denying that. I, I'm just very upset with myself for not doing a good job and neglecting my parents and brothers..."

"This is not called neglect." Yang Ruoqing corrected, "Besides, even if you get married, you can still be filial to your parents and support your brothers. As long as you have the heart, it will never be too late.

"

"Look at me, I never got married before, so I had to fulfill my filial piety by myself."
