During the famine, a sack of grain was traded for a little girl. Everyone thought the family had lost their minds.
But ever since they adopted little Qingtian, it was as if their lives had be...
Ye Laosi is really happy today.
When receiving guests outside, the excitement is visible to the naked eye.
Fortunately, he had three brothers to protect him and help him drink. The third brother Ye even secretly replaced the wine in the fourth brother Ye's glass with water.
Otherwise, if Ye Laosi went to each table to toast like this, he would be drunk before he finished half of the toasts.
At first, Ye Laosi was a little dissatisfied when he tasted the wine in the glass and it turned into plain water.
Fortunately, Boss Ye whispered in his ear, "That's enough. Stop showing off. Are you going to enter the bridal chamber tonight? Do you want the brothers to carry you in?"
These words finally brought back Ye Laosi's rationality, and he indeed restrained himself much more during the toast.
Fortunately, the people at the tables behind were mostly villagers, and everyone was hoping to farm well with the Ye family this year, so there was no way they would make things difficult for Ye Lao Si.
So after the guests finished their wedding banquet, Ye Laosi was still barely able to remain slightly tipsy.
The guests all said goodbye and left, and Ye Laosi finally came to the new house surrounded by his family.
Looking at Miss Zhou, who was wearing a wedding dress and a veil and sitting on the edge of the kang, he suddenly stopped, took a deep breath, and then stepped forward again and took the scale tied with red silk from the matchmaker.
Ye Laosi's hands were shaking with nervousness. He calmed himself down and finally successfully lifted the red veil.
Although everyone had known each other for a long time, in this situation, Miss Zhou still blushed and lowered her eyes, not daring to look at the Ye family members around her.
Fortunately, the matchmaker was very good at livening up the atmosphere. She quickly asked the newlyweds to drink the wedding wine together and each take a strand of hair to braid into a heart-shaped knot.
Finally, Mrs. Ye brought a bowl of dumplings for Miss Zhou to eat.
Miss Zhou's face turned even redder after she took a bite.
The matchmaker asked hurriedly, "Why doesn't the bride eat?"
"Raw." Miss Zhou replied in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, the matchmaker immediately scattered the red dates, longans, peanuts and other things that she had prepared long ago towards the newlyweds on the kang.
"It's good to give birth, it's good to give birth!"
Miss Zhou was so ashamed that she wanted to bury her head in the ground.
Fortunately, the Ye family does not have the custom of making a fuss in the bridal chamber.
After the ceremony, Miss Zhou hurriedly distributed wedding candies and red envelopes to the children at home.
The children also spoke auspicious words.
"Thank you, Fourth Auntie. I wish you and your uncle a long and happy life together."
"Fourth uncle and fourth aunt, a perfect match made in heaven, may happiness last forever."
"The harp and the zither sound in harmony, the crane and the phoenix live in peace and happiness!"
"A match made in heaven, a perfect match!"
“…”
The children had all prepared their blessings long ago, and each one spoke them fluently.
After the brothers finished speaking, they came to Qingtian, and the whole family's attention was focused on her.
Qingtian said with a smile: "I wish Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt a prosperous and long family."
After hearing this, Mrs. Ye's face, which was already full of smiles, smiled even brighter.
"Okay, okay, everyone said it well!"
Miss Zhou blushed as she handed candies to each of the children.
"It's getting late. We have to get up early tomorrow. You should go to bed early."
Seeing that the time was almost up, Old Lady Ye got up and left the bridal chamber with her family.
Miss Zhou used to feel nervous and shy when there were many people around, but now, suddenly, she was the only one left with Ye Laosi, and she became even more nervous and at a loss.
She wanted to stand up, but her legs went numb from sitting, and her body instantly fell to one side.
Ye Laosi hurried forward to help.
Miss Zhou fell directly into his arms.
Ye Laosi picked up Miss Zhou and placed her on the big red wedding quilt that had been prepared long ago.
The red candles, as thick as arms, burned all night, illuminating the windows of the room with red light.
It was not until dawn the next day that Ye Laosi blew it out.
Regardless of her sore body, Miss Zhou got up early to wash and comb her hair like a woman for the first time.
"Why are you up so early? Why don't you get some more sleep?"
As soon as Ye Laosi came in from outside, he saw his wife combing her hair.
"Look at what you're saying. Today is our first day of marriage. I have to get up early to cook and serve breakfast to my mother-in-law."
"Oh, you're overthinking it. We don't have so many rules in our family." Ye Lao Si said, "Even after my three sisters-in-law came into the family, mother never let them set any rules."
Upon hearing this, Miss Zhou hurriedly said, "Then I have to go help my sisters-in-law. I can't just lie in the house and wait for a ready-made meal!"
Ye Lao Si smiled and said, "Okay, then go if you want to.
"I see smoke coming out of the chimney in my mother's yard. If you go over there now, you might be able to help carry the dishes and bowls."
When Miss Zhou heard this, she became anxious. She didn't expect that she was still late even though she thought she got up early just now.
She didn't bother to talk to Ye Laosi, she quickly put on her clothes and walked out.
Sure enough, when Miss Zhou walked into Old Lady Ye's yard, Mrs. Ye's third wife had already started bringing the prepared breakfast into the main room.
"Hey, Fourth Sister-in-law, why are you up so early? I was thinking of bringing you breakfast later!"
Miss Zhou quickly stepped forward and took the basket of buns from Third Sister Ye's hand: "Third Sister Ye, I'm sorry, I got up too late."
"Oh, it's not too late at all, there's still no movement from my eldest and second brother's homes.
"I'm currently in Beijing helping my sister-in-law run a dumpling restaurant and breakfast shop, so I'm used to getting up early. Please don't think too much of it.
"But since you're up, come and have breakfast together!"
Mr. and Mrs. Ye accompanied Old Lady Ye for breakfast, and then several other families came to eat one after another.
Miss Zhou was watching from the side, and she felt relieved when she saw that the Ye family really didn't have so many rules.
Seeing that everyone had finished their meal, she quickly rushed to clean up and wash the dishes.
Seeing that they couldn't compete with her, the three sisters-in-law of the Ye family simply gave her the opportunity to perform.
Anyway, the couple will live alone in Beijing in the future, and there will be few such opportunities.
However, the three of them did not leave. They stayed in the kitchen, helping out and chatting with Miss Zhou.
Everything felt no different from their previous relationship, and Miss Zhou's nervousness on the first day of her wedding had dissipated a lot.
The kitchen was cleaned up quickly, and Miss Zhou returned to the main room with a smile on her face. Before she even sat down, she heard Old Madam Ye speaking from above.
"Today, while you are all here, I, the old woman, have something to say to you.
"Now that the fourth child has finally gotten married, I feel relieved.
"It's time for our family to discuss the division of the family. We can't keep putting it off any longer."
When Miss Zhou heard this, she was so scared that tears came out.
Everyone in the Ye family lived in such harmony before, so why did my mother-in-law want to divide the family as soon as I got married?
