There are good days in September, October and December in the lunar calendar, because this year’s New Year’s Eve is early, and January 30th after New Year’s Day is New Year’s Eve. The day is no, she is entangled with the remaining two.

"Mom, if you ask big brother what he want.. if he wants to marry a wife earlier, you can choose the first one. If he is willing to wait more, then you can choose another time."

The ninth month of the lunar calendar is also the October of the solar calendar. It is the time when the weather is not hot or cold. It started to freeze in November.

Zhao Caixia herself married in winter. The knot will be settled sooner. Newcomers don’t have to suffer. Those who come to the house to help make the noodles don’t have to suffer. Even the family doesn’t have to wash pots and dishes in cold water.

"Ask brother, ask him what he can say, he must be eager for his wife to come in early."
Zhao Caixia saw that her mother was not smiling reluctantly, she peeled peanuts in her hand and asked curiously,

"Mom, I think you are quite satisfied with this new wife. Why did you hear Meixiang say that you disagree? ."

Zhang Qiao put down the red paper with the wedding date in her hand, sighed, and told the eldest daughter about the last time she went to Daewoo Village.

"I think this girl is pretty good, looks good, and knows how to take care of the children. What do you think your brother will do when he comes back from marrying a wife? Don't you just want to live with the children? He chooses the person himself. It's not a matter to disagree. Your brother could not really blame me about Wang Mei's matter before. If I don't follow him this time, with his temperament, it's possible that he don't look for us in our old life."

Zhao Caixia crushed the peeled peanuts and fed them to Ying, while feeding her niece and comforting her mother.

"Mom, don't think so much. Donglin can't blame you in his heart. No one knows that Wang Mei is like that. How sweet her mouth is when she first met us.. Just like touching honey, don't say  bad... People will change. She is a city dweller, and it’s normal for her not to spend time in the countryside and want to go back to the city. she’ve been to our county before she've seen been to a big city. she still envious of living. People in the county town, they go out on the highway, there are shops, markets and movie theaters. We don’t have any of these when we go to the countryside. So, she always think about  going back to the city. it's OK that she didn't care about husband but why she leave her two little children... why her heart doesn't bleed"

Zhao Caixia touched Ying's head. Ying was well taken care of by Zhang Qiao and Zhao Meixiang. Rice batter, egg custard, and steamed buns soaked in sugar water are definitely among the best in the village. She also lost Zhao Donglin’s high salary, otherwise they can't afford to eat it like this.

Zhao Donglin’s monthly salary is still handed over to his family. Zhao Caixia knows that her mother is holding a lot of money. Like she usually goes back to her family’s house, her mother does not give her anything less. her second  daughter loves to come to her grandma’s house. she know that grandma's gives her lot of food

Before, her mother was quite economical, but now she don't know if she wants to open it, and she is willing to take out the money to buy food for the children.

"That's how much the gift form Dong's family will come?"

For sixty-six yuan,  buy two sets from head to toe, plus 50 catties of cornmeal, 20 catties of white flour, 10 catties of brown sugar, 10 catties of fruit candy, five big front doors, 200 eggs, and two beds of cotton wool.

The reason why added so much food is because the Dong family said that the donation money will not be kept by the Dong family, so Dong Jia will bring it all. In addition, the Dong family also gave Jia a bed, a wardrobe, and a sewing machine.

The sewing machine was added by Chen Guixiang. In the past six months, Dong Jia has been able to make some money by sewing and mending clothes. she has kept it for Chen Guixiang except for adding some things to the family. The money is not much, but it is a few dozen dollars.

Chen Guixiang feels distressed. she wants to add more money to buy a sewing machine for her, so that she can continue to do some private work to earn some money when she gets to her husband's house.

It is hard for a woman to have money and a waist. She is afraid that her daughter will be weak financially and be bullied in her husband's house. Although the Zhao family looks good now, it will take a long time to see people's hearts.

Chen Guixiang’s suggestion was that most of the Dong family did not have any comments. Although jia was going to married for the second time, Chen Guixiang used her own money to buy dowry for her daughters. Another one, Dong Jia is her only daughter... and going to marry the cadres in the village, can anyone guarantee when it will be good time or bad time? When it comes to the relationship between people and the society, there are multiple paths for multiple people, and those who have a clear mind will not be a petty profit.

Liu Xiuyun didn't have an opinion on her sister-in-law, but she was unbalanced in her heart.

Jia : "Other people's homes are other people's homes, ours is ours, why should a woman embarrass a woman...... I can earn money... with my skill... and I save money...more than seven months....don't spend your money mom on me... I have my own money "

Dong Jia said this. The Dong family found it quite interesting, and they often joked with this sentence. Dong Aimin couldn't help laughing when he said Liu Xiuyun.

"What are you talking nonsense, it's difficult for you to mutter like this?"
