The cloth bag was warm, and I opened it to take a look.

Inside was a lunch box, a water bottle with a straw, and a card.

The card was written by Mu Chenze, and it said: "Xiao Xuan, eat some cookies to fill your stomach first. Love you, Ze."

I opened the lunch box and found a small bite-sized biscuit inside.

The kettle comes with a straw, and I don’t know where Chen Ze got it from.

I couldn't help but sigh at his thoughtfulness, this way I won't get my lipstick on when I eat or drink.

Chu Xuan picked up one and put it in his mouth.

It is stuffed with sea cucumber, shrimp and pork.

It tastes delicious.

After eating three in a row, drink water through a straw.

The water temperature is just right.

He ate three more and drank some water before closing the lunch box, putting it in a cloth bag, and hiding it in the cupboard.

Put the card in the drawer.

The kettle is placed on the table.

Bored, she looked at the pattern on the kettle. It was the backs of a pair of cartoon characters, a little boy and a little girl looking at the stars and the moon together.

The cup body is red.

It looks like foreign goods.

After a while, Fu Qing knocked on the door and came in.

"Xiao Xuan, I'm coming over to talk to you."

According to the traditional wedding customs here, Chu Xuan needs to sit on the kang for two hours. This has two meanings: one is to highlight the status of the hostess of the bridal chamber, and the other is to take advantage of the auspicious time so that the future marriage life will be smooth.

If you count from the time you sit on the kang, more than fifty minutes have passed, and you only need to sit for more than an hour.

The kang is warm and the temperature is just right.

"Sister-in-law, it's quite lively outside. A lot of people are here, right?"

"That's right. I counted them, and there were about a hundred people, with about ten tables. That's twice as many people as when your eldest brother and I got married. Xiao Xuan, this has to do with your help in opening the grilled fish fillet factory in the village. Many people came just for your face. They were very strict with their accounts, and the minimum payment was five yuan."

In this day and age, it is reasonable to deposit fifty or one yuan into the account.

Chu Xuan didn't expect that she would be so popular.

"They're not just doing this for my sake, but for our Mu family's sake as well. Sister-in-law, you and our mother have a great reputation in the village. Everyone wants to take this opportunity to get closer to our family!"

Fu Qing smiled from ear to ear, "Is my reputation really that good?"

"Of course. In my mind, you are the best sister-in-law in the world."

Fu Qing quickly waved his hands, "Don't praise me like that, I'm still far from the best! But I will try my best! By the way, Xiao Xuan, you haven't been fishing in the last few days, so I have been. The harvest is pretty good every day, and we can each get more than 100 yuan. The money is with our mother, and she will divide it between us after we are done."

Chu Xuan really hadn't bothered to go fishing during this period. "Sister-in-law, you're so capable! Thank you for your hard work! I feel embarrassed to ask for a share."

"You must get a share! With such a great place to catch fish, I must be able to do it! As long as I can make money and save it, I'm not afraid of hard work or fatigue. However, Xiao Xuan, I've also noticed a pattern. It seems that my fishing is not as good as yours. Every time we go together, we get more catches. When I go alone, I can also fill my basket, but the fish I pick up sells for a lower price. So don't be embarrassed, I'm still waiting to share in your fishing luck."

"Maybe it just happened that we encountered more hard goods when we went together. You never know how to catch it by sea."

"You are indeed very lucky this year. You are making money by opening a grilled fish fillet workshop, receiving a big red envelope when you meet your relatives, and getting married. Your luck will definitely be even better."

"Then I'll give you half of my luck."

Chu Xuan put her hand on Fu Qing's hand, teasing her intentionally.

Fu Qing knew she was joking, "Then I'll give you a high five and accept it."

"good."

The two of them actually high-fived each other as a joke.

With someone to chat with, more than an hour passed quickly.

Fu Qing asked considerately, "Do you need to go to the bathroom? I'll go with you."

Chu Xuan hummed.

At this moment, Mu Chenze pushed the door open and came in, looking very happy. "Thank you for talking to Xiaoxuan, sister-in-law. I'm free now, so I can go to the bathroom with Xiaoxuan."

Fu Qing jokingly said, "How can you be free now? You calculated that the sitting time was over, so you came to accompany Xiao Xuan? I'll go to the kitchen to work first."

Don't be a light bulb here.

Jogging all the way to the kitchen.

Mu Chenze happily accompanied his wife to the toilet.

After returning to the bridal chamber, he poured water of suitable temperature for his wife to wash her hands.

After his wife finished washing her hands, Mu Chenze was just thinking of doing something nice when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the children watching the fun outside the window.

I had to give up.

Chu Xuan was the one with the most free time at home this morning. She only had to stay in the bridal chamber and wait for the lunch break to start, then toast with her husband.

"Ze, where did you get this kettle?"

Mu Chenze raised the corners of his mouth, a hint of pride in his expression. "I asked someone in the city to buy this foreign product. Do you like it?"

"Of course I do. I like those bite-sized cookies too. Who made them?"

"I did. I was so excited that I couldn't sleep at night, so I wanted to make something for you myself. Before I went to pick you up in the morning, I made some pancakes, put them in a lunch box, and then put the lunch box in a basin of hot water to keep it warm."

"Ze, you're so sweet."

Mu Chenze whispered to Chu Xuan, "You have to reward me well tonight."

Chu Xuan blushed, but nodded. "Go out and greet the guests!"

"good."

Mu Chenze gave her a few more instructions before going out to entertain relatives and friends.

Seeing that the bride was the only one in the bridal chamber, the children became bolder.

Knock on the door.

Chu Xuan said softly, "Please come in."

Five or six children squeezed into the bridal chamber.

"What a beautiful bride!"

"I also want to marry a beautiful wife like my aunt in the future!"

"There are a lot of quilts, about ten, right?"

“The curtains in this room are so beautiful.”

…

Chu Xuan listened to the children's chatter and took out two handfuls of candy, peanuts and other things from under the mattress with a smile on his face.

"Take it and share it among you."

The children's eyes widened with joy. They didn't expect there were so many delicious foods under the mattress.

They all expressed their gratitude.

The two leading children took candy, peanuts and other things and led the other children out.

Don't forget to close the door.

Chu Xuan lifted the mattress, picked up the candy from the kang to prevent it from melting, and put it on the table.

The kang is warm now, and peanuts and the like are not afraid of heat, but sugar cubes are.

After picking up the candies, he picked out a piece of White Rabbit milk candy and put it in his mouth.

She must have a piece of her and Chen Ze’s wedding candy.

So sweet.

After eating the candy, take a few sips of water from the water bottle with a straw.

Tian Xiaoyun took the opportunity to go to the bathroom and looked into the bridal chamber through the window glass.

According to custom, she cannot enter the bridal chamber today.

Even though she has a husband now, she can't escape the fact that her first husband passed away.

Here, if she enters the bridal chamber, it will bring bad luck to the newlyweds.

She didn't believe in these things, but was willing to abide by this custom for the future happiness of her daughter and son-in-law.

Chu Xuan also saw her mother, walked to the window, and asked with a smile, "Mom, do you have something to talk to me about?"

Tian Xiaoyun looked very happy. "It's okay. I just want to see my daughter as a bride a few more times. I'm going to the bathroom and will be back to the table soon."

"good."

Chu Xuan felt warm in her heart.

Watching my mother leave.

After a while, Fu Qing rushed in.

"Xiao Xuan, we have uninvited guests. Old Man Chu and his sister Qiu are here to ask for wedding wine! We've paid a hundred yuan as a gift. Do you want them to stay or should we kick them out?"
