Transmigrating to Book 50, others hoard rice, I hoard money

Chapter 219: This foolish child, “good days” are coming!

Nowadays, beds all have bed frames, one for aesthetics, and the other for hanging mosquito nets.

Mosquito nets are usually secured with bamboo poles.

Existing mosquito net is made of sparse earthen gauze, which is called cloth net.

The bamboo pole used to hang a cloth tent is called a cloth tent bamboo.

When people in the countryside marry off their daughters, they will prepare cloth tents and bamboo for them.

Small bamboos are usually used as tent bamboos for dowry, but they cannot be too thin and need to be left with roots and leaves. This implies not forgetting the roots. It also symbolizes that love is evergreen and life is improving and getting better.

Zhou's father followed the Zhoujiawan custom of marrying off his daughter, and also prepared two long cloth curtain bamboos for Zhou Gui. They were wrapped in red paper, with copper cloth curtain hooks hanging on them, and small red lanterns, which looked festive.

The cloth tent bamboo plays a very important role in the dowry. It has to lead the wedding procession. The person carrying the cloth tent bamboo is usually the bride's younger brother or nephew.

Because the man's family has to make the new bed and hang up the curtains in advance, the dowry has to arrive at the groom's house one or two hours before the bride.

By then, the two tent bamboos would have been cut off at the ends and sawed into four, and the person carrying the tent bamboos would have completed his task and would receive a big red envelope.

Whenever Zhou Jiaguang thought about getting a big red envelope by doing such a simple thing, he would be inexplicably excited...

After Xie Cuilian became pregnant with her second child, she was worried that Zhou Qinghong, who was restless when sleeping at night, might accidentally hurt her. After discussing with Zhou's mother, she moved Zhou Qinghong to Zhou Jiaguang's room.

Since then, Zhou Jiaguang not only has to take care of his nephew, but also his nephew. He feels that he is the most unlucky elder.

But as he was at the bottom of the food chain, he knew he had no right to resist and could only accept it silently.

When Big Wa saw Zhou Jiaguang lying on the bed with a silly smile on his face, he guessed that he must be excited about the big red envelope he was about to get.

His eyes rolled and he bewitched, "Uncle, the two bamboos that grandpa prepared are so long. If you carry them by yourself, they will drag on the ground. If you accidentally break the tent hooks and lanterns, you will definitely be scolded.

Tomorrow morning, I will help you carry it."

Erwa came over and said, "Uncle, it's too much for the two of you to carry such a long bamboo. Let me help too."

As a child who grew up in a routine, Zhou Qinghong immediately guessed the purpose of Da Wa and Er Wa. He quickly pulled Zhou Jiaguang's hand and shook it: "Uncle, I can help too."

Zhou Jiaguang pushed the three people away and said angrily, "Whenever there is something good, you come and call me uncle and uncle affectionately.

Every time I was about to be punished, you all pretended not to know me and secretly told on me to make my punishment even heavier. Don't think I don't know!

Want to share the red envelope I'll give you for carrying the tent bamboo tomorrow? Don't even think about it! That's what I've been waiting for for many years. Don't even think about competing with me. I can handle it by myself!"

Big Baby: "I asked my mom. When she got married, even though you were young, my dad still gave her a red envelope. You've already received one, so it's our turn in the queue."

Zhou Jiaguang: "That doesn't count, I have no memory of it at all! Even if your father really gave a red envelope, it was taken away by my mother, and I got nothing.

I have confirmed with my mother that she will not confiscate the red envelope that my second brother-in-law will give me tomorrow. It's a rare opportunity for me to get rich, so please don't go against me, okay?

When I get the red envelopes, I will treat you to soda, and I will buy you more firecrackers during the New Year."

Erwa blinked and said, "Uncle, if you give me half of the red envelope, I will also treat you to soda and buy you firecrackers.

Besides, you have a third sister. If you wait for a year or two, you will definitely get a big red envelope. Let us have the chance tomorrow and let us enjoy it."

Zhou Jiaguang: "Don't mention my third sister! She said she won't marry, and she has such a bad temper. Even if she wants to marry, there may not be anyone to marry her. It is very likely that she will be left with nothing.

If I believed your lies, I would never be able to get her red envelope made of cloth and bamboo in my life.

You guys want to carry the cloth tent bamboo so much, so persuade my elder sister to get married! As the biological son, you carry the cloth tent bamboo for your biological mother, just thinking about it is impressive!

If your stepfather gives you too little in the red envelope, you will just run away with your tent and bamboo. Then, in order to save his face, he will definitely increase the amount in the red envelope, and you will really become rich!"

While Zhou Jiaguang was "talking big", Da Wa quietly opened the bedroom door.

As Zhou Jiaguang became more excited, his voice became louder and louder.

The soundproofing of the room was poor to begin with, and coupled with the loud noise, people upstairs and downstairs could more or less hear Zhou Jiaguang's "weird ideas".

Zhou's father and mother both shook their heads, what a foolish child, "good days" are coming!

Zhou Gui is getting married tomorrow. Zhou Rong and Zhou Cai are both talking to her in the bedroom. After hearing Zhou Jiaguang's remarks, they all appear at the door.

Zhou Jiaguang originally wanted to ask Da Wa and Er Wa what he thought, but he found that they had both hidden in a corner. Just as he was about to ask the reason, he caught a glimpse of a tall figure at the door.

Turning around, I saw my three sisters standing at the door with mysterious expressions.

The third sister even looked like she wanted to eat someone.

Zhou Jiaguang was frightened and his brain was working quickly. He quickly explained: "Big sister, second sister, third sister, why are you here? Do you want to listen to my new story?

Da Wa, Er Wa and Qing Hong said they couldn’t sleep and insisted that I tell them a story, so I adapted a fairy tale I had read before.

In a distant country, the king and queen gave birth to three princesses who were extremely beautiful, wise and brave.

The eldest princess married a black-hearted prince because she mistakenly trusted others. Fortunately, she realized it in time and divorced decisively. After returning to her country, she did good things for the people and was deeply loved. Everyone advised her to remarry, but she was unwilling to do so, saying that she wanted to dedicate everything she had to the country.

The second and third princesses had a keen eye for talent and both found their ideal partners and lived a happy life.

I hadn’t even finished telling my story when the eldest and second kids ran away, showing no respect for me as their uncle at all.”

Big Kid, Second Kid: “…”

You have rounded it all off.

Zhou Rong said with a half-smile: "Why is the story you made up different from what we heard at the door?"

Zhou Jiaguang: "You heard it wrong, my story is just like what I just said!"

Zhou Cai didn’t have Zhou Rong’s good temper, she went up to Zhou Jiaguang and twisted his ear: “You said I have a bad temper, no one will marry me, and I will be a burden to my family?

I eat your food and drink your drinks?!

Today, I will let you know what a bad temper really looks like! "

Zhou Jiaguang screamed in pain: "Third sister, I was wrong, let go! It was a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue! You are my most beloved and respectable sister. If you don't want to get married, then don't get married. When I grow up, I will go to work and make money to support you!"

Zhou Cai: "Humph! It's not like I don't have a job. I can support myself, so I don't need you to support me!

I've told you so many times that you should think before you speak, but you always forget. As a punishment, you will help light the fire and cook at home tomorrow, and the work of carrying the bamboo tent will be left to Da Wa."

Zhou Jiaguang: “???!!!”
