Everyone in this world has his or her own story, and everyone has his or her own difficulties. Thinking back to Liao Fuzhen and Xu Wu's forbearing expressions just now, he suddenly felt a little ashamed.
What right does he have to be sad? He has just never been loved.
Even though he comforted himself in this way, Gu Yunzhou still felt sad.
Aunt Niu was so excited that she couldn't help herself. In this day and age, there were still people trying to steal the bride. Fortunately, she was quick-witted and threw Comrade Gu out, instantly shocking the whole audience.
Today, Youfu's daughter-in-law Cheng was brought back home, and it was half her fault!
"Comrade Gu, you were so awesome just now. With just one kick, you sent Xu Ergou flying. Hahaha, did you see that? His three kids were still trying to rush forward, but after you gave them a lecture, they all shrank their necks and retreated. They didn't even want their father anymore~"
Aunt Niu was dancing with joy, as if she was the one who had just stunned the whole audience.
Zhuzi also temporarily forgot his sorrow and looked at Gu Yunzhou with admiration on his face, "Uncle is so awesome. When Zhuzi grows up, he wants to be as awesome as you. I also want to be a soldier and protect my mother. I will beat up anyone who dares to bully my mother!"
Gu Yunzhou smiled and said, "Okay, Zhuzi will definitely be more powerful than uncle in the future."
Qiao Youfu smiled foolishly with his head tilted. Qin Xue felt the relaxed atmosphere and her tense body relaxed.
The two of them subconsciously looked at each other, and when their eyes met, they looked away as if they had been electrocuted.
There was a hint of shyness on both of their faces.
"Hey hey hey~, here it comes, look."
At the entrance of Gaoshi Village, a woman who was watching the fun pointed at an oxcart in the distance and shouted.
Another girl stretched her neck and said, "It's really here, the bride is here."
"No, no, no?" Everyone wanted to see what kind of wife the old bald man could marry.
Qiao Youcai was startled when he saw the oxcart approaching not far away, and he quickly scattered the firecrackers in the grass beside him.
When the ox cart was about ten meters away, the firecrackers were lit.
The crackling sound of firecrackers, with red smoke spreading in the air, attracted many onlookers to cheer.
Qiao Youfu, with a ruddy face, drove the ox cart towards the north of the village. Qin Xue sat on the ox cart, covered her ears on the pillar with her hands, and lowered her head shyly, not daring to look at anyone.
Qiao Youcai ran very fast, passed the ox cart and ran towards home. He spread the firecrackers he had prepared in the morning in front of his door, and lit the firecrackers when the ox cart was still more than ten meters away from his door.
Another burst of crackling firecrackers sounded, and after the smoke dissipated, red confetti remained on the ground at the door.
Liu Haimao was the only one among the onlookers who was truly happy for Qiao Youfu. He shouted loudly, "The bride is getting off the car~"
The women and children around them all shouted auspicious words, "May you have a happy marriage for a hundred years."
"Good morning, my dear son, we will share the joys and sorrows~"
"Hurry up and spread the wedding candy~ I'm going to have a fat boy next year~"
This is a local custom, called "pleasing others."
Qiao Jiangxin came out holding a plate that she had prepared in the morning. The plate was filled with candies bought from the supply and marketing department, the kind with colorful candy wrappers.
The price is only slightly more expensive than the cheapest one without candy wrappers.
Listening to everyone's auspicious words, she grabbed a handful of candy and threw it into the crowd.
The tiny pieces of candy scattered in the air and fell everywhere, followed by everyone's screams and scrambles.
"Hahaha, I got it~"
"I'm here, let me hold it down first~"
"Ah, you stepped on my foot."
"Don't push me, hahaha~"
