Chapter 191 Cousins Getting Married
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, the elders returned to the hall to chat and drink tea, while the rest of the people were busy cleaning up the mess. By the time they were done, it was already dark.
The two sisters, Second Aunt Song and Third Aunt Song, also returned to their parents' home today. Their two nieces are getting married tomorrow, and they want to help.
They had dinner at Boss Song's house before they came to visit their younger brother with their husbands and children. Both of them were carrying large and small bags.
Song Ergu's husband, Li Tieniu, also came this time. He was a typical country man, who looked honest and could only smile innocently. Seeing so many people in the living room, he seemed a little overwhelmed and followed behind Song Ergu.
After all, Third Aunt Song was very good at handling things. She greeted Grandfather Liu and the others. Han Zhuang asked the two children to greet the elders as well. Second Aunt Song's family followed suit and greeted them as well. Then the hall was filled with the sounds of people greeting each other and giving each other New Year's money.
Grandfather Liu and his family saw that it was getting late. The next day, their son-in-law's eldest brother's family had a wedding. They probably had some things to discuss, so they asked the whole family to go home.
It just so happens that I need to figure out how to arrange the sleeping arrangements for my daughter's family tonight. There are only two rooms in the house, which were where my two daughters lived before they got married. Now the in-laws are here, along with a groom, so it's difficult to arrange them.
After seeing off Grandfather Liu and his group, Song Lao Er and his friends returned to the living room to talk to Aunt Song and the others.
"Little brother, I want to thank you. My child has worked in your store for a while and has grown up. He knows how to deal with people. I will continue to trouble you after the new year." After saying this, Aunt Song pulled Han Changming over.
"Come, thank your uncle, aunt, and cousin. Keep working hard in the new year, talk less and do more." Han Changming also cleverly said some auspicious words for the new year to Song Laoer and others. He also thanked Qin Haodong.
Song Ergu and his wife were a little stunned, but Li Xian said Happy New Year to his uncle and his wife without them saying anything, and thanked them for taking care of him. Li Qing felt a little proud when he looked at his sensible and smart brother.
After some pleasantries, everyone started talking about the wedding of their two nieces tomorrow. "Did Big Brother tell you guys to do anything?" Song Lao Er asked.
"Don't worry about it. My eldest brother has told us what to do. You two can just show up tomorrow. But you three need to add makeup for your two cousins. You have to wait in the bridal chamber until they leave." Aunt Song replied.
"Okay, Third Aunt, we're ready." In fact, this was said when the eldest Song came before. Let the second Song and his wife make an appearance, and then the three Song sisters, Niang and Song Sanniang, will prepare some makeup, anything like a handkerchief or purse. The rest of the second Song family don't have to do anything.
Then Song Lao Er asked about the wedding of his two nieces and their husbands-in-law tomorrow before changing the subject and talking to his two brothers-in-law about other things. He had not met his two brothers-in-law very often, so he was still a little unfamiliar with them. He took this opportunity to get to know them better.
With Song Sangu mediating, Song Laoer and the others were chatting happily. What shocked Song Sanniang was that Master Tan's business was too good and there was not enough manpower.
He distributed some of the small parts to help out, and among them, Song Ergu's husband Li Tieniu received a small part. Everyone thought it was a coincidence.
Song Sanniang adheres to the principle of helping others whenever possible, so she plans to go back and see if Master Tan has any profitable work for her second uncle to do.
But she didn't plan to say it now, because she didn't know what would happen on Master Tan's side, so she just tried to ask first.
As the day wore on, they chatted until it was getting dark, and Aunt Song and the others were ready to go back home. Seeing so many of them, Old Second Song asked them how they were going to sleep tonight and whether they wanted to sleep at home.
Because the bed, table and other things in the room where they lived when they moved out of Boss Song's place were all moved away, and now they are all left in the old house, probably covered with dust.
"What's the big deal? They are big men with thick skin and strong bodies. They can just sleep on a wooden board, spread some straw and cover themselves with a quilt." Aunt Song said with a smile.
"Yes, one or two nights won't be a problem, so don't worry about it." Han Zhuang said nonchalantly.
"How can this be possible? The weather is so cold now. It will be bad if you catch a cold. You should sleep at my house. Find someone to tell big brother and let him sleep at my house. It's a deal." Song Lao Er made the decision without hesitation.
Seeing him like this, it was hard for everyone to refuse, so Second Sister Song made some arrangements.
The second uncle and his two sons slept in the guest room on the first floor, and the third uncle and his two sons slept in the guest room on the second floor near the fourth mother.
Second and third aunts slept in Wu Niang's room, Fourth and Fifth Niang slept in one room, Qin Haodong and Qin Haoxi slept in the guest room next to Song San Niang, Qin Yuanyuan slept in Song San Niang's room,
So everyone went back to inform Boss Song and get some clean clothes. Song Sanniang and the others took the opportunity to take a shower first, and then Song Ergu and the others came back and took turns to take a shower. After a tiring day, everyone returned to their rooms and fell asleep early.
The next morning, everyone got up early. After washing up, Song Ergu and the others went to Song's old house to help. Song Sanniang took out the makeup prepared by the three sisters, and then the whole family also went to Song's old house.
The Song family's house was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations today. There were wedding characters pasted everywhere. The atmosphere was filled with joy and the house was full of people.
They were all villagers who came to help, including Song Li's mother and Song Datou's mother. They also helped a lot when Song Laoer's family moved to a new house last time.
Mrs. Song and Old Man Song were both wearing new clothes and greeting the villagers happily. The two brothers Song Zhongxiao also played their roles as older brothers.
Song Er and Song Ersao went up to greet Song Pozi and Song Lao Da. Song Ersao took it calmly, but Song Pozi felt unhappy and kept peeking at Song Ersao's belly.
Although she knew that her daughter-in-law was pregnant with a son, she had mixed feelings. She didn't know whether to blame herself for being too hasty and driving her son's family away, or to blame the child for coming late?
But this child came when her youngest son's family was doing well, and she wondered if her family would also become rich if this child was in her own family.
She was thinking about a lot of things, and that expression naturally could not be hidden from her two sons. The second son of the Song family simply took Song Ersao to greet the villagers on the side, while the eldest son of the Song family whispered a few words to Mrs. Song and asked her to consider the occasion. Mrs. Song had to force a smile and continue to entertain the guests.
Song Sanniang and her sisters were brought to the bridal chamber by Song Ergu. Song Chunhua and her sister lived in the same room. They were twins, so they got married at the same time.
When Song Sanniang came in, the bridesmaid was putting makeup on them. Fortunately, it was not the kind of makeup that covered their faces with a thick layer of flour, thick eyebrows, and bright red lips.
The bridesmaid used a thin string to twist off the eyebrows and facial hair for each of them in turn, then applied a thin layer of powder, used a charcoal pencil to draw the right eyebrow shape, and finally applied red lip balm on them. The makeup was complete, and the next step was to comb their hair.
After putting on makeup, the two opened their eyes and found Song Sanniang and her two sisters. They looked at the three sisters who looked like two different people, and they felt mixed emotions. They couldn't tell whether they were envious or hateful.
Anyway, the two of them just silently let the bridesmaid comb their hair, and ignored Song Sanniang and the others.
An aunt saw Song Sanniang and the other two and called them over. She saw that they were holding boxes.
They joked, "Hey, add some makeup to your two cousins, so that the aunts can see what good things we have prepared." The makeup added by the sisters will be placed in the dowry to make it look nice, so it doesn't matter if everyone sees it.
