139. Letter to

Chen Zhi's wedding was quite grand, at least in Bishui County. The He family received a gift and went back to the wedding banquet except for the third girl. Chen Zhi's marriage was only one month later, and Chen Erniu's marriage was settled. He was also a prominent family in Bishui County and a son of the second wife of the Hu family.

Even He Zijin has to admire Uncle He’s ability to do things. Only the world can’t imagine, and there is nothing that Uncle He can’t do things.

Chen Erniu’s marriage was settled, and the second grandma Chen came over to speak out, and she was quite happy in her words. "A fate that I never imagined is that Hu’s brother is two years older than Erniu and is also preparing to take the academy exam."

Shen had a good relationship with the second grandma Chen and said with a smile, "I just said Erniu is a lucky person. I don't know when to get engaged?"

Grandma Chen smiled, "The other end of the in-laws is thinking of making a decision earlier, but Erniu will only be in the hairpin next year, and she has seen the 28th day of the first lunar month next year. The time is quicker, so I just have to prepare a dowry for Erniu."

Shen smiled, "The second sister-in-law is the most thoughtful. She used to save a dowry for Erniu, but Erniu married not ordinary families, but she had to prepare a few unusual and decent things."

Grandma Chen couldn't stop smiling, which showed her satisfaction with the marriage. "My brother and sister said it was my heart." Grandma Chen was indeed ten million unexpectedly, her daughter could really get this marriage. Chen Daniu is the eldest granddaughter and the oldest, but if there is a good marriage, she must talk about Chen Daniu'er first. She didn't want this girl to commit suicide and did the best marriage, so she asked her daughter to pick it up. Thinking of the big house now, Grandma Chen was not satisfied with it, and she was a little gloating.

Grandma Chen talked to Shen for a while, but because Chen Erniu's marriage had just been settled, and now Grandma Chen is highly valued by Aunt Chen and her family cannot live without her, so she said goodbye happily.

After seeing off Grandma Chen's second grandma, He Zijin said, "My second uncle is so happy that he is almost crazy."

Shen's happy family understood Mrs. Chen very well and said, "All parents in the world are unwilling to have a good marriage for their children."

He Zijin was about to speak, and Cui'er came back and forth and said, "The Feng family in Furong County has sent someone."

Shen said, "Please."

There were two men and two women who came. When he came in, he greeted him first. After asking, he found out that he was a gift and a letter. Shen asked Cui'er to call her husband over. He Gong talked with the two men. Shen took the two women to He's house. When He heard the letter from his daughter, he quickly asked for it. He didn't recognize a word, so he had to suppress Jiao Che and ask, "When did this letter arrive?"

The woman who came was named Li and Wang, who was a little old. Looking at her forty years, the woman named Li smiled and said, "It turned out that the old man and grandma sent us home to us before the New Year. Jinzhong is too far away from us. The weather on the road is not good and it was delayed. We arrived at home only after the New Year. As soon as we arrived home, the wife sent us to the in-laws. The in-laws just worry, the old man and grandma are all in Jinzhong, but they are just thinking about the in-laws. The big grandma said, you must take care of yourself, and maybe when the big grandma will come back to see you."

If I didn't mention it in the past, Mrs. He wouldn't care about it like this. Now that the servants of the Feng family came, Mrs. He was so proud that he heard Sister Li talk about it. After hearing what happened, he was just relieved. Mrs. He said, "It's good that they are. What can I do at home? I'm just thinking about them."

Sister Li smiled, "Yes. When the eldest grandma was in Jinzhong, she often talked about her in-laws, in-laws, in-laws, in-laws, in-laws, in-laws, in-laws, in-laws, in-laws, in-laws, in-laws, in-laws, in-laws, in-laws, in-laws, in-laws, in-laws, in-laws, in-laws, in-laws, in-laws."

Mrs. He asked again, "What is the territory of Jinzhong like? Are you used to eating? Are you used to living?"

Sister Li smiled, "It's very different from ours. It's not like ours. People like to eat spicy food. People like to eat sour foods. Everyone likes to add vinegar to eat. The pickled sauerkraut is so sour. And I eat more noodles, but fortunately there is rice. Grandma said it's not as good as the things in our hometown."

Mrs. He said, "If you eat too much sourness, how can you bear the stomach and intestines? If we don't eat spicy food, how can we eat? This time we bring more dogwood."

Sister-in-law Li smiled, "Mrs. Just rest assured. Although there is no food, it is not very suitable for it, but fortunately, the place is convenient. Jinzhong is richer than ours. You can always buy whatever you lack in locally. Besides, we brought the cook to you, and now everything is going well. The eldest young master is studying in a local academy, and the second master is going to enlighten me. We are also well-behaved, and we have to praise Shangguan once."

Old Madam He was very happy when she heard this and kept saying, "That's good, that's good."

He Zijin said, "The climate in Jinzhong is probably drier than that here."

"Not that, I'm really telling the big girl." Sister Li smiled, "It's often windy in spring and summer, and it's especially cold in autumn and winter. When we came back with the New Year's greetings, we encountered several heavy snow on the road. It took five or six days at a time. The snow was one foot deep on the road, and the wheels were wrapped in straw. It slipped as soon as the snow melted and the road was difficult to walk. It was too late."

Mrs. He chanted the Buddha's name and said, "It's okay if it's day or day earlier, it's okay. As long as your grandparents and my grandchildren are safe. Even if you are on the job, you have to pay attention to your body and don't be tired."

Sister Li echoed a few words.

Mrs. He asked about her daughter and son-in-law very carefully, and then asked Mrs. Feng with great peace. After saying a few more words, she asked Mrs. Yu to take the two women down to rest.

Old lady He couldn't wait to call He Zijin, "Come here to read the letter to me."

He Zijin spread it out and read it to Mrs. He said, "About everything is good, so that Mrs. He can rest assured. In this letter, Mrs. He asked He Zijin to read it three times. Even if he was illiterate, he looked at it carefully. He folded it carefully and put it back in his arms. He muttered, "Hey, when your uncle has no fame, I hope to take the fame and fortune quickly and ask your aunt to enjoy the happiness in the future. After passing the fame and fortune, I will go to this far place to become an official. I don't know when I will meet again."

He Zijin comforted Mrs. He and said, "It is a blessing for my aunt to look around with her uncle, so she can save her whole life from staying in this small place."

Old Madam He snorted and said to He Zijin, "You are just a fool."

He Zijin smiled, "People say that they are adopted daughters and follow their aunts."

Mrs. He likes to hear these words and laughs, "That's right."

Shen said, "Sister-in-law Li and the others have come so far away, so it's better to keep them for two more days. I will prepare some things that my sister likes in daily life and ask Sister-in-law Li and the others to take them back together. No matter how convenient Jinzhong is, there are many things that I'm afraid I can't buy."

Old Madam He nodded and said, "They were also tired of bringing back the New Year gift from such a long distance. At noon, I asked Mrs. Zhou to cook a few more vegetables and ask Ayu to accompany them to eat. Go and see how to clean up the house."

Shen responded and went down to make arrangements.

My grandmother He missed her daughter and son-in-law, and she was also indifferent to the New Year's Etiquette. After lunch, she remembered the New Year's Etiquette. She ordered people to move to her house and took He Zijin to take a look. Aunt He was a full-time man, and everyone in the family had written a copy of the signature. She didn't care about any signature or not. She took He Zijin and cleaned up, and locked them all in the room. She only took out the pen and ink and used it for He Gong in the evening.

He Zijin took the opportunity to click on Mrs. He's private room and said, "This one is just right for wearing a spring shirt, and that one is good for making clothes for autumn and winter."

Mrs. He scolded, "I just know how to wear it, but I don't have any thoughts."

Mrs. He felt very conscientious. She asked Sister Li and knew that they had left for Jinzhong in the middle of March. Since this was the case, Mrs. Shen prepared some things for the Feng family, and left Sister Li and others to stay for two days, and then asked them to go back. Mrs. He said, "I have things for you, too, but I can't prepare them for you. Since you left in the middle of March, I will prepare them all and ask Zijin's father to take them. I hope you will bring them back to Jinzhong for your grandparents."

Sister-in-law Li hurriedly said, "The in-laws told me that it is all our responsibility, so how dare I take the word "Lao"?"

Mrs. Zhou had prepared food on the road for a long time, and Mrs. Shen had already rewarded them, so Mrs. Li said goodbye.

As soon as Sister Li and others left, Mrs. He told Shen about some things that her daughter likes to eat. "Your sister has sent back a lot of things like silk and cloth. I see that it is good, and she doesn't lack this. She is an official who is so far away. Oh, I don't have to worry about anything else, just because she doesn't eat well. Is there any dried fish that we had dried last year?"

"There are still some. I'm just not afraid anymore."

"There are so many things that can be wrapped up, and the weather is warm and the lake is so much that your sister doesn't think there is this."

Shen said, "This is easy. Later, Aunt Bai's house also hangs a lot last year. I'll go and ask later. I'll see if there is any. If there is one, I'll collect more for my sister. I remember that when my sister was eating noodles, she liked to make a soup base with this kind of dried fish."

"Yes, I heard from Mrs. Li that the place in Jinzhong is good, it's the way to eat it with half a bottle of vinegar. How can your sister get used to it?" Mrs. He felt distressed after thinking about it, "Go to buy some dried bamboo shoots and vegetables in the dry goods store. It's time to eat spring bamboo shoots. Your sister loves this bite too. I wonder if there are any bamboo shoots in that world?"

He Zijin smiled, "Grandma just don't worry, Jinzhong is a first-class and rich land, better than ours. But the weather is different from ours. It's very cold in winter and it's hard to support bamboo, so I'm afraid there are no bamboos."

Mrs. He said to Shen, "Then buy more."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law discussed the things prepared for Aunt He in half a day, and Old Mother He sent Shen to work hard. He turned to He Zijin and said, "Your aunt has always loved you. When your cousin comes, you should buy you delicious food every day, so you should also prepare some things."

He Zijin nodded, "Well, I will also write a letter to my aunt at that time."

Seeing that He Zijin didn't say anything, she thought she was young and had some lack of mind. He mentioned her own girl's movies, "If you write a letter or something, just write it with me. I have the size of your aunt here, and I can't make a big piece, so make a pair of shoes for your aunt?"

He Zijin said, "It will take at least one month to make a pair of shoes, so I'm afraid there will be no time."

Mrs. He thought about it and thought the girl was useless. "Why are she so slow?" She settled for the second best, "Then make a pair of socks, and do it carefully."

He Zijin felt a little moved. When Mrs. He thought that she was so dedicated to sending her to do needlework for Aunt He, she would have had the idea of ​​kissing her? Thinking about her now twelve years old, He Zijin really lamented that Mrs. He is worthy of being her grandmother. Now she is planning her lifelong event. He Zijin said, "I don't have any socks in my aunt's place. Isn't my needlework very good? Isn't this obvious timid? Then my grandmother's letter will be written. When my aunt sees my good handwriting, she also knows that I am talented and knowledgeable. It's not better than doing needlework."

"What do you know? Girls can't write at home. If they can't write, they will ask people to talk."

"This is my aunt, not an outsider. Don't worry, grandmother, think about it. In a county, the girl's top 10 people in the family can know how to needle and thread. How many people can recognize words?" He Zijin gave an example. "You will know when you look at the third sister. No matter how good the needle and thread are, you are still an embroiderer. This recognition of words will become an account whenever you have the chance. It can be seen that literacy is much rarer than knowing needle and thread."

He Zijin convinced He's mother with many misconceptions and evil principles. He told her, "Then you can practice writing so hard that you can write well at that time."

He Zijin smiled and said, "Don't worry, grandma."

After convinced Mrs. He, he went to the yard for a walk. Although it is popular to get married and have more kinship, it may not necessarily have shortcomings in the children they have. However, He Zijin still doesn't want to take this risk. Whether it is a cousin or a uncle, He Zijin is not very happy.

The toon buds on the toon tree can be picked and eaten again. A little green appeared in the small vegetable garden in the yard. He Zijin walked to the kitchen and saw that there were new bamboo shoots. He couldn't help but ask, "There are bamboo shoots sold outside now?"

Zhou Po Zi smiled, "Where did you buy it? Our neighbor Mrs. Bai's house has a bamboo forest on the mountain. It's warm this spring. When I came back, I saw Mrs. Bai carrying a large basket and I had to give me a few. The big girl loves fresh bamboo shoots the most, so she can use bacon to eat at noon."

He Zijin said, "Didn't there be crucian carp I bought back before? It's been kept for several days and it just happened to make fresh bamboo shoots and crucian carp soup."
