In a blink of an eye, it was the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month. Without Shen Lingling's urging, Lu Wensheng had been just giving up recently. As the New Year was approaching, there was basically nothing going on in the village.
The second crop of mushrooms grew even better. With Lu Hao and Meng Qingtang taking care of the team, Lu Wensheng didn't have to go out at all.
When she has nothing to do recently, she keeps herself in a space every day. Apart from practicing, she just eats, drinks and has fun. She doesn't do anything serious at all!
I told others that I was too tired recently and now I have finally calmed down and want to sleep more.
Chen Cheng, who was planting wheat nearby, looked at the person sitting in the rocking chair eating grapes by the spiritual spring and the figure busy in the field. He couldn't help but feel lucky that there was a snail girl in it, otherwise the space would have become a wasteland!
"Shengsheng, your captain will be back soon. We have to get out quickly because you still have to help out!"
Lu Wensheng slowly finished eating the last grape and said with emotion:
“I really don’t want to go out!”
It's spring-like here all year round, which is much more comfortable than outside.
"Sister Lu, Sister Lu, don't sleep, the captain will be back soon!"
Outside, Ma Yingjie knocked on the window and shouted. When no one answered, he asked Li Youliang next to him:
"Do you think my sister Lu has fallen into a deep sleep? She has been sleeping for two days. How about we break in and take a look?"
Li Youliang had the same idea and was about to agree when he heard a voice from inside the door:
"Whose door are you trying to break down?"
Ma Yingjie shrank his neck and skipped the topic and said:
"Sister Lu, Aunt Caifeng asked us to come back and call you, saying that the banquet cannot be held without you."
Lu Wensheng rolled her eyes. The party couldn't go on without her.
The team leader said yesterday that all the main dishes would be given to her. Do you think she, a little educated youth, would dare to disagree after the team leader has spoken?
So I agreed reluctantly, and today, retribution came...
At this moment, she missed Lingling very much. If Lingling were still here, she would definitely not be willing to go out to work by herself...
"Tell Aunt Caifeng that I'll be there soon."
"Okay, I got it. You two should get ready to go to the village entrance and set off firecrackers!"
Sun Caifeng, who received the accurate information, immediately drove them away. These two guys couldn't do anything except making fire. There were so many people in the kitchen and there was no shortage of people who could make fire, so just let them go for the time being!
After a while, Lu Wensheng came in, and with him came Chen Cheng, who was let out by Lu Wensheng to work as a handyman. Since Shen Lingling was not here, he must bring someone to help!
At about half past eleven, Li Fugui came back with his new bride. Chen Xiaocao and Chen Xiaohua, each wearing a red jacket, sat confidently on the ox cart and accepted everyone's inquiries.
"Oh, this is our captain's new wife. Why is she bringing a little girl with her?"
"He's handsome, but it's not good for him to be a second marriage."
"Wait a minute, what happened to the captain's wife? How come I don't know what happened?"
"That's right, why did he get married again when everything was fine?"
"Don't you know? The captain's wife was caught having an affair at her parents' home, and she is now in the Revolutionary Committee."
"Is this true? Is there such a thing?"
"Why else would the captain want a divorce? We already have two sons."
“…”
————————————————
At the entrance of the village, Li Fugui was pulling a ox cart in front wearing a brand new Zhongshan suit, and he was also wearing a vest made of rabbit skin given by Xiaolu Yatou.
Occasionally, I would look back at Chen Xiaocao with a smile on his cheeks. He looked so happy, just like a young boy who was getting married for the first time.
According to custom, we pulled the ox cart around the village and then went straight home.
It’s so cold outside, we can’t let Xiaocao and Xiaohua, mother and daughter, get frozen!
When we got home, the yard was already filled with tables and the food on the tables was very sumptuous. It was obvious that Aunt Caifeng had done a good job.
The villagers had been eager to sit down at the table for the feast. If the village chief had not been guarding the door like a door god, the table would have been empty before the bride even arrived.
"Hurry up, make way! The bride is here, why are you still blocking the door?"
"That's right. It's so cold. Let the bride come in quickly."
Some elderly uncles and aunts started to clear the area when they saw Li Fugui pulling the ox cart from afar. Why were they blocking the door in such a cold weather? Aren’t they going to have the banquet?
Young people don't mind taking a break. They are old and weak. What should they do if they have diarrhea after eating cold dishes? Young people nowadays don't know how to feel sorry for others.
After a long while, we finally got our seats. I have to say that the captain's wedding feast was a sumptuous one. The table was filled with either chicken or fish. With just a few cents of betrothal money, one could eat as much as one could eat. It was really a great deal!
Thanks to the help of her uncle, Lu Wensheng completed her task quickly. Now she was sitting at the main table, eating melon seeds and playing crickets with Lu Hao and Meng Qingtang.
Seeing that it was getting late, she brought a bowl of braised pork with rice into the inner room. This was also the task assigned to her by Aunt Caifeng. She couldn't let the bride go hungry.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she came in, she saw Chen Xiaocao and Chen Xiaohua sharing a bag of osmanthus cake on the kang. She felt a little embarrassed when she saw Lu Wensheng coming in, and hurriedly explained.
"This was given to me by Fuguier on the way back..."
Originally, Li Fugui was afraid that there were too many people today and he wouldn't be able to take care of Chen Xiaocao, so he bought a bag of osmanthus cake from the commune in advance and gave it to her when he picked up the bride, so that she could fill her stomach if she was hungry.
Lu Wensheng looked through the bright window and saw Li Fugui, who was surrounded by Li Sihai and Li Zhenxing and toasting everywhere, and teased:
