Chapter 195 Buying Jewelry for Luo Meihua
Before she could finish her words, she saw Niu Yuzhu lowering his head and taking a bite of the pancake that Xiaoguang was holding out to him.
"Well, it's delicious. The taste is different from the one our Xiaoguang has eaten." Niu Yuzhu took a bite of the pancake and looked at Niu Xiaoguang with a doting look.
Gu Qingqing watched all this with a smile on her face. She saw Luo Meihua's cheeks turn red and instantly felt that they were so naive!
Seeing Gu Qingqing laughing at her, Luo Meihua felt even more embarrassed, "Sister-in-law, it's nothing. I'll take the child back first."
"Okay, I'll wait for your reply! Don't keep people waiting too long!" Gu Qingqing said deliberately with a hint of meaning.
Sure enough, Luo Meihua's face became visibly redder.
Looking at Niu Yuzhu again, I saw him scratching his head with his head tilted, confused, and then he followed with Niu Xiaoguang on his back.
Oh, I don’t know this yet.
......
More than ten days passed in a flash.
It is the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the New Year is getting closer. With the big market before the New Year, the town is also bustling with activity.
During this period, those who are wealthy go to town to buy New Year's goods, and those who are poor take this time to take out what they have prepared to sell at home, hoping to sell it at a good price before the New Year.
Gu Qingqing and Luo Meihua walked side by side in front, followed not far behind by four children. Niu Xiaoyang was pulling Erhua, Erhua was pulling Dahua, and Dahua was pulling Daxin.
Behind them were Wen Wuyan carrying a bamboo basket and Niu Yuzhu with Niu Xiaoguang riding on his shoulders.
Luo Meihua went back to her parents' home to talk to them about what was happening here, and she also wanted to hear what her parents thought.
"Meihua, we have been relatives with the Lao Niu family for the past few years. Every time you come back, you are always happy and bring back a lot of things. I know that you are not suffering in the Lao Niu family. In theory, you marry into their family and become a member of their family. They treat you well, and Yuzhu is a young man, so we have no objection." said her mother.
"Sister, Niu Yuzhu is willing to stand up for you. As long as you are willing, you can bring him here, and I will recognize him as my brother-in-law."
"Sister, will I have a brother-in-law again?" her brother asked.
With the support of her parents, Luo Meihua found Gu Qingqing and nodded.
Gu Qingqing immediately told Niu Li the news, "Aunt, Meihua's family said that this is not a big deal after all, so let's find a good day and let them move into the same house."
"That being said, we can't do things in a sloppy manner. I'll let your uncle pick a date now. You, just wait to eat the pork head I'll give you!" Niu Li was very happy.
The Niu family slaughtered the New Year pig and asked their cheap son-in-law Niu Yuzhu to send half of it to his mother-in-law's family, along with some sugar, wine, quilt covers, and two taels of silver.
The Luo family were also very particular about things. They took the sugar, wine, and quilt covers, kept half of the pork, and asked Niu Yuzhu and Luo Meihua to take the remaining half of the meat back together with two taels of silver, saying that they could use it to buy some things.
At this moment, the two taels of silver were in Gu Qingqing's hand.
She was entrusted by Aunt Niu to spend the two taels of silver today, which could also be considered as helping to buy wedding supplies.
I just helped buy two bright red satin quilt covers and a piece of fine cotton cloth. I originally planned to buy clothes for Meihua and Yuzhu, but ended up buying a set for everyone in the family, young and old.
At this time, Gu Qingqing walked to the door of the town's old gold and silver jewelry shop and stopped.
Luo Meihua followed her gaze and said shyly, "Sister-in-law, we just bought several beds of cloth, so let's not buy this one."
Gu Qingqing looked at her head and reminded her, "I only saw you wearing a silver hairpin before. It's impossible that you won't have any new jewelry on your head that day."
"We have already agreed that on the 26th, we will invite a few of you acquaintances to our house for a meal. There is no need to go to such great lengths. We can still have the same meal as usual."
Gu Qingqing turned around and glanced at the silly Niu Yuzhu. It was simply unbearable to look at him!
We haven't even moved in together yet, why is he looking so silly?
Niu Yuzhu's performance was not satisfactory. Gu Qingqing leaned close to Luo Meihua's ear and whispered, "Although Yuzhu has shown that he has eyes only for you, we can't stop dressing up just because we are too familiar with each other. Make sure to dress up beautifully that day, let Yuzhu feel the good life, and then dazzle his eyes so that he will only have eyes for you in the future. Come on, just go in and pick out the good-looking ones."
After Gu Qingqing finished speaking to Luo Meihua, she turned around and pointed behind her, and the family entered the gold and silver jewelry shop.
There were not many people in the store, and Gu Qingqing immediately breathed a sigh of relief when she came in. It was really because outside, people bumped into each other and made walking tiring. Not only did they have to be careful to avoid encountering thieves during the New Year.
Gu Qingqing looked back at the big and small people who followed in, and immediately pulled Luo Meihua to start choosing things, "Take a look, do you like anything?"
Luo Meihua looked around and pointed at a silver hairpin and said, "Sister-in-law, what do you think of this?"
After seeing it, Gu Qingqing almost rolled her eyes at her. Finally, she could only hold her breath and said, "Not very good."
She counted the remaining 1 tael of silver in her hand and didn't dare to choose the gold one. Instead, she pointed to a gilded phoenix-tail silver hairpin beside her and said, "I think this one is good."
Luo Meihua was very happy, but after seeing the price she shook her head and said, "No, no, no, how can a family afford such a fine hairpin? If I take it out on weekdays, I will be laughed at."
The hairpin weighs five cents and is priced at six cents. How can one not feel bad for it?
"It's to make people envious. Who doesn't want to dress up beautifully? You really don't think that people in the village don't like to dress up? It's not that they don't like to dress up, it's that they don't have money. I heard Da Jun said the other day that he would sell a hairpin for Xiao Xiu during the New Year. Besides, this is only about one cent more expensive than the plain silver hairpin you just saw [1], but the style is much better."
At this time, Niu Yuzhu came over and said to Luo Meihua, "Sister-in-law, mother said that she would buy you something nice today."
Luo Meihua blushed and glared at Niu Yuzhu before nodding.
Gu Qingqing calculated the money in her hand and finally bought her a pair of gold-plated earrings. With more than 400 coins left, she could buy a silver bracelet.
Luo Meihua stopped him and said to Gu Qingqing, "Sister-in-law, can you let me pick something with the remaining money?"
"Okay, as long as you can spend the money, just choose."
Luo Meihua finally chose a pair of plum blossom-shaped gold earrings. Just when Gu Qingqing wanted to praise her, she heard her say to Niu Xiaoyang, "Xiaoyang, this is the first headwear that mother bought for you. Although it is not big, mother will..." At this point, Luo Meihua looked up at Niu Yuzhu and said with a red face, "When mother and uncle make money, we will slowly buy you more pieces one by one."
