Chapter 199 Wedding Eve 3

Feng Qingxue was stunned when she heard the sound.

She had never heard Lu Jiang talk about this incident. It might have happened in the past few days. After the wedding date was set, the two did not see each other again.

Wang Fengqiao opened a camphor wood box on the mule cart that had been covered with vermilion paint but had been ignored by everyone. She opened it and showed it to everyone. She smiled and said: "The Lu family doesn't have anything good, but Lu Jiang has been a soldier for many years and has saved some wages. After counting the votes, I prepared eighty-eight yuan, a fleece jacket and trousers, a polyester cardigan suit, a pair of blue Tang leather shoes, and a three-foot red headband."

It's very lavish, enough for the people of Caohu Brigade to talk about it for twenty years!

Knowing that the Caohu Brigade was having a hard time, Wang Zhengguo and others did not stay to eat. They drank a bowl of sugar water and left.

Before leaving, Wang Fengqiao pulled Feng Qingxue into the back room, took out two handkerchiefs and gave them to her, and whispered: "When you pack the boxes the day before you get married, your uncle and I will come to add makeup to you. Now I'll give it to you." You can't take it out in front of everyone, but keep it yourself. The two rings were given to you by me, and the handkerchief was given by your uncle. No one told anyone."

The implication is that Wang Fengqiao's husband doesn't know, and neither does Wang Zhengguo's wife.

Feng Qingxue waved her hands repeatedly and refused to continue, "Auntie, you and several uncles have already helped me a lot, and you have been busy with my marriage recently. How can I accept your things again?"

"Take it!" Wang Fengqiao forced it into her hand, "Although we don't have any expensive dowry to compare with the two big items of bicycles and sewing machines, we can't do without something at the bottom of the box, lest we marry and let the Lu family look down upon us. Oh! Besides, these things were given to me and your uncle by the old lady of the Lu family when we got married, and now they are just returned to their original owners."

Feng Qingxue had no choice but to accept it, secretly thinking that she would honor her uncles and aunts after they got married.

As for her uncle and aunt, whom she has never met since her rebirth, she said she didn't even recognize them when they met.

There were many people busy during the day, so Feng Qingxue waited until her sister was asleep at night before opening the two handkerchief bags. One contained two gold rings, one was set with a ruby, and the other was set with a sapphire. The gemstones were not big, and the other was wrapped in a handkerchief. Two thin solid gold bracelets and four small gold claws. The gold claws are in the shape of peanuts, gourds, grapes and pomegranates. They are about the size of fingertips and are very delicate and cute.

Seeing such a thorn, Feng Qingxue blushed.

Gourds, grapes and pomegranates have the meaning of having many children in traditional culture, while peanuts mean that you will have children early.

It seems that, as my aunt said, it was given to me by the old lady of the Lu family when they got married.

In the blink of an eye, it was the eve of the wedding, and Feng Qingxue finally no longer had to face the neighbors who came to see their sewing machines and bicycles every day.

Rare, so rare. Everyone wanted to come here and learn more about it. They would wipe their hands clean when they touched it. Their attitude was so cautious. It made Feng Qingxue feel sad and funny at the same time, so he didn’t stop them, and they just enjoyed it. .

In the evening, people from Quanfu packed and sealed the boxes, and the elders came over to add makeup to her before packing.

Adding makeup was an old saying, but it is rarely popular now because every household has a hard time and has nothing to add makeup to.

Among the Caohu brigade, only Hongling's mother gave two pairs of embroidered insoles made of red water chestnuts. Aunt Feng's daughter-in-law Ma Haiyan gave a handkerchief, Feng Shuanzhu's family gave a pair of grates, and Feng Teng's family gave some needles, thread and a copper thimble.
