"Do you feel that the development of things is gradually becoming different from the original text?" Ning Jia had this feeling.
Now she still hasn't figured out why Chu Songbai showed up. How come there are two characters who shouldn't have appeared in the original text?
"It's the butterfly effect." An Ye didn't think there was anything to be surprised about. "We were supposed to be cannon fodder, but now we are not cannon fodder, and we are living a good life. Shall we change the story line?"
"Maybe." Ning Jia thought.
"Isn't that how it's written in all book-traveling novels? Just proceed normally and don't panic." An Ye patted her arm to comfort her.
"That's not right. How does Chu Songbai explain it?"
Ning Jiayi was always struggling with this question. Was this person just a character that appeared out of thin air?
"Maybe the original text didn't mention it. Isn't that normal? The original text was written from the female perspective, but now it's from our perspective. Don't worry." An Ye has read too many novels of this kind, so it's inevitable that he would consider it from the perspective of reality.
Ning Jia thought about it and felt that this made sense.
Old Lady Xu continued to assign tasks to the brothers: "Fifth brother, besides the sixth and seventh brothers, you are the most literate person in our family. You will be in charge of the wedding tomorrow. I have invited Old Yang from the village to be the manager. All matters at home will be handled by him tomorrow. As for the fourth brother, you just need to be careful and make sure that those bad-hearted people don't steal the cigarettes and candies we bought."
All the brothers agreed.
"Then what should we do?" Liang Lanlan asked while cracking melon seeds.
"Accompany the in-laws. You and the eldest daughter-in-law can accompany the in-laws. As for Lin Xiaoxi, I'll let Xiaotao accompany her. Fourth daughter-in-law, you are in advanced pregnancy and it is inconvenient for you to move around. You just need to take care of yourself."
Li Xuejiao was happy and relaxed: "Okay, thank you, Mom."
As for Ning Jia and An Ye, these two living ancestors, how could Old Lady Xu dare to assign them any work?
It's a great day, it's good enough that the two of them don't cause any trouble.
"Fifth brother and sixth brother's wife, there is nothing to arrange for you two. Just do whatever you want to do. If you don't want to do anything, just find a place to rest. Tomorrow is seventh brother's wedding. I will be thankful if nothing goes wrong with you two." said Old Mrs. Xu.
"If you don't cause trouble to us, I won't cause trouble." Ning Jia smiled.
An Ye nodded slightly.
Seeing that both of them agreed, Old Mrs. Xu finally felt relieved.
At dawn the next day, Li Yao went to the town to pick up Lin Xiaoxi's brother and sister-in-law. The two of them came from Beijing by taking an overnight train.
The way people in big cities dress is somewhat different from those in rural areas. The one above is a worker and the other is a salesperson in a shopping mall, and the temperament they exude is also different from others.
Li Yao recognized them almost immediately and stepped forward to introduce himself: "You two are Lin Xiaoxi's brother and sister-in-law, right? I am Li Chuan's sixth brother, Li Yao, and I came here specially to pick you up today."
"Your place is really far away. I've been sitting on the train all night and my waist is almost broken." Zhang Qingqing rubbed her waist and complained, "This place is really dirty, with dust everywhere..."
Zhang Zhishan also had a look of disdain on his face, but he was more restrained and didn't say it out loud: "Then let's go quickly, don't delay the important matter."
"Okay." Li Yao reached out and took the luggage from the two people.
Each of them was carrying a large cloth bag, which was filled to the brim with things, and no one knew what was in it.
After taking it, he realized that the bag was quite light.
"Let's get on the ox cart. We will reach our village in an hour at most." Li Yao put the luggage on the cart and asked the two to get on first.
Zhang Qingqing was very picky, and after choosing a place for a long time, she finally decided to sit with Qin Niu, the driver: "I'll sit closer to the front, I'm afraid the car will be too bumpy."
Li Yao didn't care, she could sit anywhere.
As soon as we got on the bus, the atmosphere fell into silence.
Li Yao is a quiet person, and Qin Niu is a gourd with a sawed-off mouth. As for the other two people, seeing this scene in the countryside is enough for them, and no one wants to speak.
The cart had just taken two steps when the cow suddenly stopped.
He pooped out two pools of hot, greasy dung and then continued on his way.
Where has Zhang Qingqing seen this?
She was sitting in a position where she could clearly see the cow's butt, which made her feel nauseous. She opened her mouth and vomited all the food she had eaten on the train that morning.
After vomiting, her face looked even uglier.
"You sit at the back, I'll sit at the front." Li Yao made room for her and sat side by side with Qin Niu.
Zhang Qingqing felt extremely uncomfortable. Seeing this, Lin Zhishan hugged her in his arms and whispered to comfort her: "Be patient, it will only take half a day."
"What sin have I committed? I'm so annoyed!" Zhang Qingqing punched Zhang Zhishan twice, then covered her mouth and retched again and again.
Li Yao glanced back and felt that Lin Xiaoxi's brother and sister-in-law were not as good as she said.
He felt that why these two people were so reluctant to come?
When Li Yao took Lin Xiaoxi's brother and sister-in-law over, Lin Xiaoxi had already been taken home by Li Chuan from the educated youth camp. Firecrackers were being set off in the yard, making the place very lively.
Lin Xiaoxi was wearing a bright red jacket, a red hairpin on her head, and a big red ribbon on her chest. She and Li Chuan were sitting close together.
Old Mrs. Xu was so happy looking at her new daughter-in-law that she couldn't stop smiling.
The sound of firecrackers stopped, and Lin Xiaoxi saw her brother and sister-in-law coming in. Both of them looked unhappy.
She subconsciously wanted to frown, but when she thought that today was her good day, she held back and forced a smile as she walked forward to greet him enthusiastically.
"Brother, sister-in-law, you are here!"
As she hugged her sister-in-law, she lowered her voice and said, "You should know why you came here, right? If you keep acting so cold, don't blame me for killing you back in the city."
Zhang Qingqing had no choice but to hug Lin Xiaoxi tightly and said something politely, "Sister, your brother and I are so happy to see you getting married. We came here from the capital last night, fearing that we would miss it if we came too late."
"Sister-in-law, I see you don't look very good."
Zhang Qingqing touched her face, pointed at her belly and said with a smile, "I got it. I was very uncomfortable from the bumpy ride, so my complexion is a little pale."
Lin Xiaoxi was quite satisfied with this statement, and looked at her brother Lin Zhishan again: "How are my parents?"
Lin Zhishan said hurriedly: "Dad is too busy at work, and the factory cannot do without him. He is also very sorry that he can't come. But he eats the family's food and works for the country, so he has to listen to the country's arrangements. Our mother is not in good health and has been hospitalized for a few days. But when she heard that you were getting married, she insisted that your sister-in-law and I come. Look, how much our parents love you!"
Zhang Zhishan said, and stuffed the two large bags in his hands into Lin Xiaoxi's arms in front of everyone: "These are all the good things our parents prepared for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard bursts of discussion from the people in the yard.
