Xu Miaomiao sat on the kang and could see Chen Chen outside through the window glass.
Her eyes followed this man all the time, watching him first go to the elders' table, say a few words, and then toast everyone with a glass of wine.
The elders also talked to him for a long time with a look of satisfaction on their faces, but when it came to the table of people of the same age, they were not so easily dismissed.
Many people here had their eyes on Xu Miaomiao before, thinking that the beautiful bride they had just seen might not marry them even if she didn't marry Chen Chen.
But this did not stop them from being envious of Chen Chen, so they turned their grief and anger into drinking and held Chen Chen tightly.
Xu Miaomiao was watching when she heard the sound of the door opening. When she turned around, she saw a little head sticking in.
It was Chen Baozhu who had accompanied her to the mountains to pick grass for pigs. Xu Miaomiao looked at her cautious look, smiled and stretched out her hand to invite her in.
Seeing that her beautiful sister was still as easy to get along with as before, Chen Baozhu came in with peace of mind.
Xu Miaomiao asked her to sit on the kang and gave the food that Chen Chen had prepared for her to the child.
"Why don't you go out and eat something delicious?"
Chen Baozhu said without raising her head as she ate the delicious food that Chen Chen had specially picked out for her on the plate.
"My uncle said he was worried that you would be bored in this room alone, so he asked me to come over and keep you company."
"He said if I behaved well, he would buy me a new hairband."
Xu Miaomiao was touched by his attentiveness and took off a camellia that was used as decoration on her skirt.
She made this herself. It wasn't sewn onto the skirt, but pinned on with a safety pin, so it was very convenient to take it off when she wanted to.
She reached out and took the small camellia and pinned it on the corner of the little girl's clothes.
"Does it look good?"
The little girl reached out and touched it carefully, then looked up at her with sparkling eyes, "It's really beautiful, thank you, pretty sister!"
Xu Miaomiao shook her head when she heard that, "You can't call me sister anymore."
"What's that called?"
Xu Miaomiao smiled and said, "You should call me little aunt."
The little girl looked as if she had suddenly understood something. "That's right! Grandma said that you will be my aunt from now on. I forgot."
The guests outside were making a lot of noise, but the room was quiet. Fortunately, Chen Chen had the foresight to let the little girl come in to accompany him, otherwise she would have been suffocated to death.
By the time it was quiet outside, it was already mid-afternoon. Liu Changan helped the staggering Chen Chen into the house.
"Sister-in-law... Sister-in-law, Brother Chen drank too much." Lu Changan was a little uncomfortable with calling her sister-in-law out of the blue.
When Xu Miaomiao saw the man's eyes closed and brows furrowed, she knew that he was feeling uncomfortable because he drank too much.
He quickly followed Liu Changan and helped the man lie down on the kang.
Liu Changan himself had drunk quite a bit, and seeing that Xu Miaomiao was taking care of him, he said, "Sister-in-law, I... I'm going back first!"
Xu Miaomiao saw that he had helped Chen Chen block a lot of alcohol and was staggering, so she felt a little worried.
"Can you do it yourself?"
Liu Changan waved his hand and said, "No, it's okay. My dad is talking to Uncle Chen outside. I'll go with him."
Xu Miaomiao felt relieved after hearing this. At this time, most of the guests had left, so she didn't have to stay in the room.
She took the basin and went out to fetch water, then came back to help Chen Chen take off his outer clothes.
Fortunately, this man did not make trouble after drinking. Instead, he was very obedient. He raised his arms when asked to do so and turned over when asked to do so.
Otherwise, Xu Miaomiao couldn't move him. So after Xu Miaomiao took off his coat and wiped his body, he was exhausted and out of breath when he finished.
She pulled the blanket over his stomach and was about to get downstairs to pour the water, but her wrist suddenly felt tight and she felt dizzy.
When she came to her senses, she was already lying on Chen Chen, with her head resting on his warm chest.
Xu Miaomiao looked up in confusion, and saw two dark eyes staring at her. He had drunk too much and his eyes were dull.
She reached out and playfully tapped his nose, mockingly saying, "Drunk!"
Chen Chen felt itchy and turned his head, but he couldn't shake off the annoying fingers. He could only look at her with an accusing look as if he had admitted defeat.
Chen Chen stared at the person for a while, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and the corners of his mouth rose happily.
Xu Miaomiao found him interesting and asked, "Why are you being so pretentious?"
Chen Chen grabbed her disruptive hand and happily called out, "Wife?"
Xu Miaomiao smiled, her eyes softly agreeing, "Yes."
"young married woman?"
"Um."
"young married woman?"
"Yeah." Xu Miaomiao patiently followed his questions and answered them.
I thought he had something to say, but he actually held her hand, placed it against his chest, and let out a long sigh.
When Xu Miaomiao looked at him again, she saw that he had fallen asleep with a relaxed expression.
If she pulled her hand out forcibly, she would definitely wake him up, so Xu Miaomiao simply leaned on him again in this position.
Xu Miaomiao was not sleepy at first, but lying like this, looking at his sharp jawline and listening to his steady and strong heartbeat, she closed her eyes unconsciously.
Wang Yan packed up all her things outside, cleaned the tables, chairs and benches she had borrowed from someone, and returned them to the owner.
I then divided the remaining dishes among a few close friends. There were still quite a few left, and it was hot now, so they couldn't be stored well. If I kept them all, they would go bad in a few days.
She directed her two sons and daughters-in-law to clean up all the swallows, then she held her waist and breathed a sigh of relief.
I originally thought that Chen Chen drank too much today and was worried that he was not feeling well, so I wanted to go and check on him.
But as soon as I opened the door, I saw two people sleeping together. I quickly tiptoed out and closed the door.
Chen Jianghe also drank a lot today, and his face was flushed at this time, but he had a good alcohol tolerance and was still very sober.
At this time, seeing his wife walking on tiptoe like a thief, he asked in confusion, "What are you doing?..."
Wang Yan was afraid that his loud voice would wake up the two people in the room, so she covered his mouth before he could finish his words and went to the yard.
When Chen Jianghe's mouth was free again, he was even more confused, "Why won't you let me speak?"
Wang Yan pursed her lips and smiled, saying softly, "The third brother and his wife are asleep, please be quiet and don't wake them up."
Although Chen Jianghe felt that he did not have enough power to wake up two people who were so far away, he still nodded obediently.
Seeing Chen Chen's high spirits today, Wang Yan was happy for her son from the bottom of her heart.
At this moment, she felt that she had endless energy and wanted to go out and plant two acres of land, but unfortunately she missed the spring plowing season.
I could only dust myself off and go out to find my old sisters to share my joy.
