MM Racing Chapter 417: Drug 7
Chapter 417: Drug 7
The captain's wife said, "Fei Fei, as a rule, when a daughter gets married, a mother should give her two quilts and two blankets as a gift. You are far away, so it is difficult to take them after they are made. These are the cloths for two quilts and two blankets. I will give you cotton tickets and money, and you can go back and make them yourself.
Also, this bed sheet is a good thing, but there is only one, so it’s not a gift, it’s given to you separately.
You can also take the red cloth and keep it. The children will need it to make clothes and diapers. Keep it well."
All wedding items must be in pairs; single items cannot be included in the dowry.
Qi Feifei's nose felt a little sour, "Godmother." She threw herself into the arms of the captain's wife. It was the first time in her two lives that someone gave her a dowry.
Although the marriage was fake, she and Huo Sheng were still considered husband and wife. Qi Feifei did not reject the kindness of the captain's wife and happily accepted it.
The captain's wife added, "After the New Year, ask your godfather to find a carpenter to make a pair of boxes for you and send them to you. We have a lot of good wood in the mountains, and it will be difficult to get them back in the city."
Qi Feifei quickly stopped him, "Godmother, I really don't want this. Our house is small and there is no place to put it. I appreciate your kindness."
The captain's wife had never been to the city and asked in surprise, "It's so small?"
Qi Feifei nodded seriously, "It's not easy to get a room when I get married. All my belongings are stuffed in one room, and it's hard to move around. Wait a few years, when I move to a bigger house, I'll come back to ask godmother for it."
The captain's wife was a little disappointed, "Is that so! Okay then!" She always felt that this amount was a little too little, but she didn't know what else to give.
"Fei Fei, just tell me what you need. I don't know what's used in this city."
Qi Feifei, "Godmother, I don't need anything. When you make sticky bean dumplings every year, just bring me some."
Captain's wife, that's a different matter. Doubao definitely doesn't need you, but the dowry is too little."
Qi Feifei, "Not a small amount, not a small amount. If there are too much, I'm worried about how to take it away."
The captain's wife smiled and patted her, "This child." Everyone hopes that their dowry will be larger, but this one is still too much. I don't know how much dowry her mother can give her. She has been here for so long, and she has never mentioned it.
Li Qiaoying then realized that Qi Feifei was getting married, and wondered what she could give. Usually, she would give a thermos, a wash basin, a large mirror, etc., but it was not convenient to get them from such a far distance!
She knew that she had been in Tougou for less than a year, and that her life was so good mainly because of Qi Feifei, and she was very grateful for Qi Feifei's care for the two children. She always felt that ordinary things could not express her feelings.
She did have a piece of purple corduroy with black plum flowers at home, which was not enough for a top, so she could only make a short-sleeved one. However, she couldn't give a half-cut thing as a gift for a wedding. She also had four pieces of rabbit skins, which were given to her by Qi Laoqi, asking her to make a short-sleeved one to wear to keep her warm. But she had never been willing to do it.
I was in a dilemma for a while, and I blamed myself for being too poor.
At this time, Lin Ge was also worried about Qi Feifei's dowry. She had received so much help from Qi Feifei, and now Qi Feifei was getting married, which was a major event in her life. What should she pay? The family had no money, and the house they had just built this year was bare.
Wang Zhongping sat on the edge of the kang, his legs drooping, his head lowered, and he said nothing.
Lin Ge felt upset. She had no news from her parents and relatives. The only one who could help her was Qi Feifei, but she couldn't tell Qi Feifei about this. Her eyes became wet again. She couldn't cry during the New Year, so she held back her tears.
People must first be able to stand on their own, otherwise if they don't rely on mountains, the mountains will collapse and if they rely on rivers, the rivers will dry up.
After thinking about it, she took out all the small pieces of cloth that Qi Feifei had gotten for her at the supply and marketing cooperative, and compared the measurements here and there.
Wang Zhongping, "You still have the energy to deal with all these little things, can you think of a solution?" His wife is smarter than him, and if he can't do something, he has to rely on her to make decisions!
Lin Ge glared at him and said, "Don't go anywhere these days. Help me take care of the children. I'll make two pillowcases for Qi Feifei."
Wang Zhongping, "Why don't we go out and borrow some money? We can't give this tattered thing away."
Lin Ge said, "I want to borrow it, but how can I ask for it during the New Year?" You don't mind the person, but they think it's bad luck! Those two people in your family won't lend it to you.
Wang Zhongping remained silent.
Lin Ge loved reading and painting since she was a child. She knew some art knowledge. She found a burnt wooden stick and painted here and there on the fabric. She cut and pieced together the fabric, and then started sewing it with a sewing machine. She didn't cook for the whole day, but was busy with this. She wanted to finish the fabric before Qi Feifei left. Although she didn't know what it was worth, it was a unique thing and a token of her love.
Pan Xiaowen went out to pay New Year's greetings and heard that Qi Feifei had found a boyfriend. He had some money, but if he had to go back soon, he didn't have anything good to give her as a wedding gift. Should he just give her money? That was too hasty. He didn't even have time to write a letter home to prepare.
Qi Feifei didn't know that these people were racking their brains for her dowry.
After leaving the team leader's house, she went back to the collective household and then took the bean buns to the pig farm. She hadn't yet wished Lao Qin a happy New Year.
He took a bottle of Luzhou Laojiao, ten kilograms of flour, a piece of pork belly, a handful of celery, a cabbage, and a large silver carp, put them in a backpack, and carried them to the farm.
Old Qin was sitting on the kang reading a book alone. Uncle Zheng and his wife went back to the ditch. After feeding the pigs, he read a book to pass the time.
He only noticed Qi Feifei when he came into the house. He quickly got down and took Qi Feifei's backpack. His eyes were a little moist and his throat was tight, and he was speechless for a while.
Qi Feifei, "Old Qin, Happy New Year! I wish you a happy new year!"
Lao Qin nodded repeatedly, "Happy New Year, Happy New Year." He was alone at home and everyone was well, so he thought nothing was wrong and the year would be peaceful. But when someone came to visit him and cared about him, he realized that he was lonely and longed for care. His heart felt sour, but also gentle and happy.
Qi Feifei pretended not to notice his expression, "I spent the New Year at the captain's house yesterday and couldn't come over. Let's make it up to him today!"
As she talked about washing hands and cooking, Lao Qin also started to get busy with her, and they immediately felt like it was New Year's Day.
Qi Feifei wanted to go abroad, so she brought up the topic of Lao Qin's study abroad when he was young. Lao Qin sighed, saying that he was so happy to be able to study abroad that he wanted to stay up for three days and three nights. He worked hard for three years and finally returned to China, but who would have thought that he would be sent to the mountains because of this when he was middle-aged.
What I have learned is of no use now.
However, life abroad, with its youth and dreams, is still very beautiful. There is no one else here, and he is willing to talk to Qi Feifei about it. There is no one else he can talk to except her.
The two chatted while working, and later sat at the table drinking and chatting, talking about their past experiences, embarrassing moments, foreign friends, teachers... whatever they thought of, and finally when they were drunk, they were still talking about the past that was buried deep in their hearts.
Qi Feifei helped him to sleep, filled a thermos with boiled spring water for him, packed up everything, and then went back.
