At the edge of a dense grass, Su Youfu took off his Liberation shoes and put on leather shoes.
This was the first time Xiaoqi bought leather shoes for her father. Due to lack of experience, the leather was not very good, but it looked quite shiny.
When Su Youfu put on the leather shoes, he felt they were a bit tight, but he liked them very much. Because he had problems with his legs and feet, he actually paid special attention to his feet. Moreover, he was not tall enough, and these leather shoes had a small heel. After putting them on, he instantly felt much taller.
After entering Shangxie Village, passing a pig farm and walking a short distance, you will arrive at Xiaoqi's uncle's house.
There is a wedding today, and I can see a lot of people standing at the door from a distance.
The couplets on the door were particularly bright red, and occasionally the sound of firecrackers could be heard. It must be the naughty children looking for some unexploded firecrackers on the ground and lighting them while the atmosphere was lively.
There was a wedding in the village and relatives gathered together. Basically, most of the people in the village came, and it was as lively as the Chinese New Year.
Shangxie Village is much more developed than Gumula Village and has a larger population, with nearly a thousand households. The village is flatter and wider, the altitude is not as high, and it is quicker to get into the city. Shangxie Village belongs to Xiahe Town, and it only takes half an hour to get to Xiahe Town.
Seeing three people coming from the path, someone shouted, "The son-in-law of Gumula Village has arrived."
The road was not very long, but listening to the lively sounds, Xiao Qi felt that it seemed a long time ago.
Since she was in her third year of high school, she rarely attended wedding banquets in the village. She was very busy with her studies and her parents tried not to disturb her.
It’s quite fresh to see so many people gathered together again. Wedding banquets in the village are different from those in the city and are much more lively.
But then I remembered that with so many people, it was impossible to tell their generations apart. This one might be my great uncle, that one my uncle, that one my great-grandmother, and so on...
As someone who is still in school, just act like a child forever. Because Xiaoqi is in school, he can actually get red envelopes and New Year's money when he comes home for the Spring Festival.
My cousin went out to work, so there were no red envelopes in the past few years.
Going to work seems to be the sign of whether a person has reached adulthood or not.
Before entering the village, they put the things for grandpa and grandma in Xiaoqi's schoolbag, but Su Youfu and Sheng Juanhua came back empty-handed.
Xiaoqi felt that his father was okay and showed his signature silly smile on his face, but his usually fierce mother seemed very nervous and kept pulling at her clothes.
Sheng Juanhua felt nervous. Every time she went back to her parents' home, she was too embarrassed to go out and visit friends, and she felt awkward when she met people she used to know.
When she was young, Sheng Juanhua was a beauty in Shangxie Village. Who would have thought that she would marry a cripple who had nothing? People said that she was blind. However, she did not give birth to a son but a daughter. Those families who were interested in Sheng Juanhua but were rejected could not help but feel lucky. Otherwise, if she could not give birth to a son, what would be the point of marrying her even if she was beautiful.
This time when she came back, Sheng Juanhua felt proud.
If you can't give birth to a son, it's just as great to give birth to an excellent daughter.
Moreover, my daughter can earn her own tuition fees after she gets into college.
The bamboo weaving made by her husband can be sold for a lot of money.
She wore new golden earrings that her daughter bought for her.
He looks seven or eight years younger.
Xiaoqi also realized that her mother was really pretty. When she smiled and greeted her family, she didn't have many wrinkles around her eyes.
Xiaoqi also saw her aunt. Her aunt's family sells clothes. When she was a child, Xiaoqi liked to go to her house to play because she could always get a new piece of clothing when she came back. Xiaoqi envied her cousins very much. But when she grew up, she found that her aunt always said bad things about her father. After hearing it a few times, Xiaoqi became a self-respecting girl and didn't like to go anymore, even if her aunt gave her new clothes.
As a result, when I saw my aunt and my mother standing together this time, my mother actually looked younger. Then I realized that my aunt was too thin, so thin that she had a bit of buck teeth.
Xiaoqi didn’t see his grandparents. His grandmother was steaming glutinous rice at home to use for making rice cakes later.
There are many people in my uncle's family, and Xiaoqi doesn't know many of them. He is also very curious about how my cousin's wedding will be, so he went for a walk around the new house.
The new house is a bit messy, with many little girls inside, and my eldest cousin is putting on makeup.
Xiaoqi then remembered that her eldest cousin was getting married, so this was not called a bridal chamber, but just her cousin's boudoir. The bridal chamber should be the groom's side.
They arrived early and arrived at my uncle's house at around nine o'clock.
Around eleven o'clock, the groom will come to pick up the bride and take her away, so the bride is still putting on makeup at this time.
My cousin was not wearing a red wedding dress, but a wedding veil, which was considered advanced in the village.
The wedding dress was too long and dragged on the ground, which was not very convenient in the village because chickens and ducks often ran over the land and left their feces, which was not cleaned up in time.
In Xiaoqi's memory, the eldest cousin was very pretty and tall. With the Sheng family's genes, everyone was tall. The eldest cousin was about 1.7 meters tall.
Last year, she came to her grandmother's house on the third day of the Chinese New Year and saw her eldest cousin, who was wearing a pink suit, high heels, with makeup on her face and long straight hair. She was very beautiful.
Xiaoqi was wrapped in a thick cotton coat and wearing glasses, looking at his beautiful cousin with envy.
I didn’t expect that my cousin would get married this year.
When the girls in the room saw Xiaoqi come in, they quieted down for a moment.
Until Xiao Qi called out, "Hello, cousin."
The scene was unlocked.
The girls in Shangxie Village are also very pretty, especially the Sheng family, who have good genes. But when they saw the little girl coming in with a schoolbag, everyone fell silent, feeling that it was very different.
Cousin Sheng Jinghua took a closer look and realized that the little girl in front of her was her eldest aunt's daughter Xiaoqi, and also her cousin.
The Sheng family has good genes for appearance, but average genes for learning. Not many people in this generation have studied well, and Xiaoqi, who attends the No. 1 Middle School in the city, is considered an exception.
Sheng Jinghua looked down on her cousin at first because she was stupid at studying. But after she stopped studying and worked in society for a few years, she envied her cousin. Although her uncle was a cripple, he really loved her cousin and paid for her to go to college.
"Congratulations, cousin. You look especially beautiful today." Xiao Qi couldn't recognize the young ladies in the room. They were probably his cousin's friends. But he thought his cousin looked really beautiful today. A girl in her early twenties, everything about her looked like a flower. She looked beautiful with makeup on her face, as if a flower bud was about to bloom into a full-blown flower.
And there is a kind of delicate and joyful smell on her body, which makes people feel beautiful when they see her.
"Thank you, Xiaoqi, you have become more beautiful too. Girls change a lot when they grow up. I wouldn't recognize you if I saw you on the street." Sheng Jinghua sighed. Gumula Village is a famous village of beautiful women in Lushan City. They used to think that the reputation was not lived up to.
There are many beautiful girls in every village.
But when I saw my cousin today, it was really different.
The feeling and energy on my body are incompatible with them, but they don’t make people disgusted. They just look beautiful, as clear as a mountain spring, with a tinkling sound. They are also beautiful, but at most they are wild flowers by the spring. They each have their own beauty, but the one that can make the sound is still the spring water.
A little bit sharp, yet very sweet.
As the bride, Sheng Jinghua felt that this cousin was different.
The same was true for the others. The bridal room was not so lively for a while, and Xiao Qi saw that everyone seemed restrained when he was around, so he came out.
"Jinghua, your cousin seems different from the rest of us. I heard she's a college student?"
"It seems that you are not easy to get along with?"
"I feel like I've seen it somewhere."
"Yes, I think so too. It seems a little familiar, but I can't remember where it is."
