Chapter 36: Pick Up the Bride



Outside the Shen family courtyard, many people gathered to watch the fun.

Regardless of the cold weather, many children ran around the yard with frozen snot hanging under their nostrils like two caterpillars.

Sometimes he wanted to peek through the door to see the bride, sometimes he ran to the gate of the courtyard to see if the groom had come, running around happily.

Finally, I saw a group of people coming to the village entrance, one of them was leading a donkey.

One man and one donkey, each wearing a big red paper flower on their chest.

The sharp-eyed children immediately shouted: "The groom is coming, the groom is coming!!!"

Zhao Changgui, surrounded by several men from the same village, arrived at the gate of Shen's courtyard.

Some nosy people in Dongliang Village couldn't help but congratulate him: "Congratulations, you are so lucky to marry a virgin girl, hahahaha."

Zhao Changgui pretended not to hear the speaker's teasing intention, and still smiled and bowed in response: "Thank you, thank you!"

The Shen family didn't invite any guests, so it was just Boss Shen who stood at the gate and said, "Come in, come in."

Zhao Changgui led the donkey into the Shen family yard happily.

Boss Shen took the reins and tied the donkey to the pillar of the firewood shed.

Then he called Zhao Changgui and several people from Zhaojiawan who came to pick up the bride into the east room.

Because Zhao Changgui had to kneel down to pay homage to his elders today, Old Lady Wang was also carried over to the east room at this time. She was leaning against the windowsill and half-sitting on the kang, with Old Man Shen sitting next to her.

Chen Xiashu and Li Xiang, as the father-in-law and mother-in-law, also sat on the edge of the kang.

As soon as Zhao Changgui entered the room, Wang Huilian handed him a bowl of hot water.

He took the hot water, bent his legs, knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Old Man Shen and Old Lady Wang, and shouted, "Grandpa, grandma, please have some tea!"

Old man Shen stood up and took the hot water without any tea leaves, and replied with a smile: "Okay, okay, okay, get up quickly, live a good life with Si Ni in the future, and try to have children as soon as possible."

Zhao Changgui stood up and Wang Huilian handed him another bowl of hot water.

This time, Zhao Changgui turned sideways and knelt down in front of Chen Xiashu and Li Xiang: "Dad, Mom, please have some tea!"

"Okay, live a good life from now on." Chen Xiashu took the bowl, said this dryly and disappeared.

Li Xiang, with tears in her eyes, told Zhao Changgui: "Changgui, you are older than Yue'er. She is still young, ignorant, and stubborn. You should be more tolerant of her in the future, okay? If she does anything wrong, come back and tell me, and I will scold her."

"I only have this one daughter, I hope you treat her well!" As she spoke, Li Xiang's tears fell.

Chen Xiashu next to her glared at her: "It's a happy day, why are you crying? It's not bad luck!"

Zhao Changgui stood up and quickly came to the rescue: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just that mother feels sorry for April!"

Wang Huilian looked at Zhao Changgui, who was even older than Chen Xiashu, and found it very funny that he kept calling the second brother and his wife "Dad and Mom". If she was not afraid of being scolded, she would have laughed out loud three times.

After Zhao Changgui finished shouting to the other members of the Shen family in the room, Old Man Shen spoke: "Go to that room to pick up Si Ni'er, don't delay the time!"

"Okay, Master. When we have time, April and I will come back to see you." When Zhao Changgui thought about picking up his young wife soon, all the wrinkles on his face were filled with smiles.

Just as Zhao Changgui was about to leave the east room, a sharp scream suddenly came from the Shen family's yard.

"ah......"

The sound was so sudden that it startled everyone in the room.

Old man Shen on the kang felt his heart skip a beat and turned around to look out through the window, but he remembered it was winter and the window could not be opened.

He turned around and glanced at the old ambassador: "Go out and see what's going on?"

Zhao Changgui was confused and murmured, "What happened outside? How about going out to take a look?"

Old man Shen stopped him quickly: "No, no, just let your elder brother go out and take a look. Let's chat in the house for a while. We will be busy in the future. I don't know when I can see you. I miss you so much."

Zhang Changgui was really confused now. He had just asked him to go out and pick up the bride, so why did he want to chat for a while longer?

Although Zhao Changgui was not a very smart person, he was not stupid either. He knew that something must have happened to the Shen family, so they didn't let him go out.

But he didn't think about anything else. In order to save face for the Shen family, he sat on the edge of the kang and started talking to Old Man Shen.

As we sat there, the noise outside became louder and louder, and from the sound it seemed to be coming from the Shen family's yard.

Zhao Changgui couldn't sit still anymore and kept looking towards the door.

Old man Shen's heart was pounding and he was restless. As soon as he heard the voice, he knew it was Si Nizi. This damn girl didn't do anything earlier or later, but she failed at the critical moment.

I don’t know if the boss can be calmed down. If Zhao Changgui sees this, he won’t know how it will end.

As the noise outside grew louder, Zhao Changgui faintly heard someone at the gate say, "Why is the fourth daughter of the Shen family going crazy again? Didn't she say she was fine?"

Um? ? ?

When he heard that it was related to Shen Siyue, Zhao Changgui finally couldn't sit still anymore and stood up immediately: "It's getting late, we have to pick up Siyue and come back to see grandpa and grandma later!"

After saying this, he didn't wait for Shen's reply and hurried out of the house.

"Hey, hey, Changgui, Changgui..." Old man Shen called out several times but to no avail. He hurriedly got up to put on his shoes and followed him out.

In the Shen family yard.

Shen Siyue held a stick in her hand and pointed at Zhao Changgui who had just run out, laughing: "Oh, the toad is out? Do you want me to get a basin of water to look at you? Don't you see what kind of character you have?"
