After an accident, top student Jiang Xuan time-traveled to the 1980s. The moment she opened her eyes, her aunt snatched away her university admission letter.
"I've raised you for over...
Seeing Jiang Xuan's strong reaction, Wang Yingqiu said with a smile, "Of course she'll make a scene, how could she not? Didn't your mother-in-law tell you that? By the way, why did your mother-in-law leave?"
Jiang Xuan said woodenly, "She went to drink Chinese medicine."
Wang Yingqiu asked in surprise, "Oh dear, what happened to my mother-in-law?"
"It's nothing, I'm just having some trouble adjusting to the new environment in Ningzhou."
Wang Yingqiu nodded, "No wonder, I noticed that my mother-in-law seemed quite weak. However, if she is not used to the local environment, Chinese medicine will take a long time to work. If she has diarrhea for a few days, even the healthiest person will collapse. I have some medicine here, I'll give it to you later, you can take it to your mother-in-law tonight."
Jiang Xuan wasn't really listening to what she was saying.
Her mind was filled with images of the wedding night pranks.
Although she hadn't experienced it herself, she had read posts about wedding night pranks in her previous life, and some of them were just too outrageous.
The idea of a father-in-law and his daughter-in-law being intimate is disgusting and makes one want to vomit.
It was precisely because she was worried that these outdated customs would make her uncomfortable that she secretly told Lu Shengye that she hoped there would be no pranks on the wedding night, and Lu Shengye agreed to go find the housekeeper.
Forget it, let's not worry about it for now and wait until Lu Shengye comes back.
She picked up the noodles and began to eat.
Wang Yingqiu sat on the edge of the bed and said with a smile, "But don't be nervous. The wedding night pranks here are quite normal, unlike in the countryside where they're all over the place."
Jiang Xuan nodded.
"But even if someone makes a request that you find unacceptable, you can't get angry. Teasing each other in the wedding night is perfectly normal, no matter how much it involves."
At this moment, Lu Xiaomei came in.
The little girl has been helping out all day and only now has a moment to herself.
Wang Yingqiu stood up. "You guys chat, I'm leaving now. Remember to call me if you need anything."
Lu Xiaomei picked up a piece of candy and put it in her mouth. "Sister Xuanxuan, if I change how I address you now, will you give me a change-of-address fee?"
"What are you changing your tune about?"
“Look, you’re married to my brother now, so I can’t keep calling you ‘sister’ all the time. I still have to call you ‘sister-in-law’.”
Jiang Xuan wasn't really used to being called "sister-in-law." "Never mind, just keep calling me Sister Xuanxuan."
"How can that be? Even if my brother reluctantly agrees, Grandpa won't. Forget it, I don't need you to give me money. Can you just help me with a few math problems? Okay, sister-in-law?"
"I'll tell you tomorrow, I'm not really in the mood right now." Jiang Xuan put down her chopsticks. "By the way, little sister, what are the customs for teasing the newlyweds here?"
"I don't know. It's a thing for boys to make merry on their wedding night. Girls aren't allowed in."
Is it true that they play pranks on the bride?
"A prank? What do you mean?"
"For example, will they tear the bride's clothes or pull down her pants?"
Lu Xiaomei laughed loudly, "How could that be? Wouldn't that be considered indecent? It's not that serious. At most, you might be allowed to kiss and hug my brother. You've been sleeping together for so long, this isn't difficult, is it?"
Kang Hyun: ! !
I'm innocent!
You've been sleeping for so long, you haven't even been able to touch someone's abs, let alone do anything else.
Suddenly, Jiang Xuan came up with an idea.
"Little sister, can you do me a favor?"
Jiang Xuan gave a few brief instructions, and Lu Xiaomei nodded and left.
As soon as Lu Xiaomei left, Lu Shengye came in.
"Auntie has already taken her medicine and is resting over there. I'll bring her over later when we do the wedding ceremony."
Lu Shengye took a sip of water, sat down, and said, "By the way, I also have something to tell you about the wedding night pranks. I've already told the housekeeper that you're a student and young, so you don't want to participate in the pranks. But he said that without the pranks, the wedding isn't considered complete. But don't worry, the pranks are just a few teenagers from the family compound and some of my comrades. I'll make sure they know their limits."
"Yeah, it's nothing."
Jiang Xuan thought to herself: I'm about to start an unprecedented wedding night prank.
*
8 PM.
It was getting late, and the lights in the yard were turned on.
Two large red lanterns hung in front of the main house.
In the center of the courtyard stood a large red table with an incense burner and offerings on it.
Lu Shengye stood tall and straight, side by side with Jiang Xuan in front of the table.
The butler stood to one side, holding a fly brush wrapped in red cloth, preparing to preside over the ceremony of worshipping heaven and earth.
Some relatives from the neighborhood, neighbors from the family compound, and comrades-in-arms gathered around, eagerly anticipating this sacred moment.
The butler began to shout in a drawn-out tone, "First bow to Heaven and Earth."
I bow to Heaven and Earth as witnesses.
Pray for blessings to descend upon the world.
A match made in heaven, a perfect union.
May the earth bless the newlyweds with boundless happiness.
Jiang Xuan looked completely bewildered.
Lu Shengye tugged at her, pointed ahead, and gestured for her to kneel down and kowtow.
Jiang Xuan kowtowed without really understanding what was happening.
Everyone started clapping.
Then, the butler continued to call out, "Second bow to the parents."
Bowing second to express gratitude to the parents
I will always remember the kindness of those who raised me.
A harmonious family brings prosperity and longevity.
May your kindness, health, and longevity last forever.
Lu Pei'an and He Yinhua sat on either side of the large table in the main room.
Actually, He Yinhua didn't want to come because, usually, the bride's parents don't participate in the wedding.
However, considering her health condition, Lu Shengye insisted that she participate.
After all, she and her daughter have less and less time to spend together.
Wang Yingqiu was self-aware; she knew that Lu Shengye disliked her, so she used the excuse of feeling unwell to avoid showing up.
She was an older pregnant woman and in her late pregnancy, so that excuse was plausible.
Lu Shengye pulled Jiang Xuan along and kowtowed to the two elders.
Lu Rongde sat on the other side, and after paying respects to his parents, they paid respects to his grandfather.
The butler continued to call out, "Husband and wife bow to each other."
The couple bowed to each other, expressing their deep affection.
Hearts in harmony, dreams come true.
Growing old together, forever side by side.
Let us build a community with a shared future and soar together in harmony.
Lu Shengye turned around and looked at Jiang Xuan with deep affection.
Under the lights, Jiang Xuan was so white he seemed to glow, and for a moment he forgot what he was supposed to do.
Zhao Yong shouted, "Alright, platoon leader, stop looking. We'll take you to the bridal chamber later so you can see as much as you want."
"That's right, Platoon Leader, your wife is all yours now."
The others burst into laughter.
Lu Shengye remained calm and bowed to Jiang Xuan.
The boys couldn't wait any longer and ran to the door of the new house, ready to start their wedding night pranks.
"After the ceremony, they were led to the bridal chamber."
The auspicious time for escorting them to the bridal chamber has arrived.
The candlelight illuminates their intertwined hearts.
Night after night of revelry and sweet laughter,
Mandarin ducks sleep together, surrounded by happiness.
The comrades started whistling.
Jiang Xuan felt her face getting hot.
Lu Shengye reached out and took her hand.
"Platoon leader, what are you doing? Are you planning to let your wife walk by herself? Hurry up and carry her into the bridal chamber!"
"Pick him up, pick him up."
Lu Shengye pursed his lips, bent down to pick up Jiang Xuan, and strode towards the bridal chamber.
His comrades cheered and followed.
The boys who were waiting at the door couldn't wait any longer and opened the door. Once the bride and groom went in, they crowded around them and squeezed in.
In an instant, the small room was filled with people, and the noise seemed to be about to lift the roof off.
