Rural families are generally simple and down-to-earth. Neighbors will lend a hand whenever a family has a problem, big or small. News of Zhuang Sheng's wedding the next day spread quickly throughout the village. Everyone rushed to help, and while they all felt the wedding was a bit rushed, most were understanding.
After all, everyone knew Liu Ruonan's situation in Xiang Dong's family. As for Liu Dazhuang's situation, everyone also knew about it. They couldn't watch this poor child Liu Ruonan fall into Liu Dazhuang's fire pit again.
Unsure whether tomorrow would be a good or bad day, an old man in the village, who specializes in fortune-telling, said that since the wedding was already a done deal, he could only offer them an auspicious time. After some calculations, the old man decided on 11:20 a.m. for the wedding.
Neighbors began to help buy and pick vegetables; strong men began to help build a shed and make a simple kitchen; educated men began to write some wedding characters; and relatives at home also began to help clean the bridal chamber.
Everyone was busy because it was a happy occasion and everyone had happy smiles on their faces.
It wasn't completely dark yet, and I heard that department stores in the city usually close late. Gao Shu borrowed a bicycle and went to the city with Chen Jianguo to buy four major items. If they hurried, they could still get it done today.
By the way, buy some firecrackers. After all, it is a big happy event, so we should be festive.
Zhuang Sheng lay in his room, listening to the busy sounds outside, feeling a mixture of emotions. His marriage was decided in such a hasty environment.
Ever since he developed a love for Liu Ruonan, he had been thinking of marrying her when she grew up and freeing her from Xiangdong's clutches forever.
However, he never thought that it would be under such circumstances. When he saw Liu Ruonan at the door of Zhuang Qiang's house today, he just pretended not to know her. After all, his current situation was a bit embarrassing.
It happened so suddenly, and even though it was what he wanted, he still felt guilty towards Liu Ruonan. Even if such a beautiful girl could escape Xiangdong's clutches in the future, she had fallen into his fire pit again.
He knew his own body well, and he was afraid he would never be able to stand up again in this lifetime. So, how should he make Liu Ruonan happy? How should he treat her well?
Gao Shanshan was doing her homework on the table next to Zhuang Sheng's bed. When she looked up, she saw Zhuang Sheng looking a little sad. Gao Shanshan bit the tip of her pen and asked Zhuang Sheng, who looked confused:
"Brother, you are getting married tomorrow, aren't you happy?"
Zhuang Sheng looked at the innocent Gao Shanshan and smiled slightly: "Happy, how could I not be happy?"
"Sister Ruonan is a good person. I believe she will treat you well." Gao Shanshan said with determination in her eyes, as if she knew Liu Ruonan very well.
Zhuang Sheng was surprised. Liu Ruonan and Gao Shanshan were eight years apart and were not in the same age group at all. How could she know her so well?
"Are you on good terms with your sister-in-law?" Zhuang Sheng asked.
"Not really. Sister Ruonan is always beaten by her stepfather and has to do so much work. But when she's in the fields, she helps others after she finishes her work. I've seen that several times in the fields."
The world of children is simple. In Gao Shanshan's eyes, although Liu Ruonan has a miserable life, she has never forgotten to help others.
"Yes! She's a good person." Zhuang Sheng smiled, a hint of sadness in his eyes. Why did such a kind girl have to be treated like this? God is so unfair!
But what can we do?
Zhuang Sheng no longer hesitated. As long as Liu Ruonan didn't marry that psychopath, and as long as Liu Ruonan was by his side, he would do everything he could to love and protect her. In the future, he would never let Liu Ruonan suffer any more.
Because he was injured for the country, Zhuang Sheng enjoys the state's subsidies, and his money is enough for Liu Ruonan to live a good life.
Moreover, Liu Ruonan had once looked at him so firmly and said: You will get better. So, he must get up and not let Liu Ruonan suffer any more.
I stayed up all night, and although everything was done in a hurry, at least everything was ready.
Chen Jianmin ran into the room, looked at Zhuang Sheng and said, "Things are a bit urgent. Everything is ready. We can go to welcome the bride now."
By this time, the sky was already bright. Zhuang Sheng looked outside. Everywhere was filled with joy. Every door and window was pasted with big red wedding characters. Zhuang Sheng felt a sudden sense of relief, and a smile spread across his lips.
"Zhuang Sheng, I'll carry you to your room. The wedding will be in about four hours." Gao Shu came in, walked to the bed, helped Zhuang Sheng up, and carried him on his back.
"Mr. Zhuang, are you up? Are you in a good mood as you are getting married today?" A neighbor began to tease the groom.
"Zhuang Sheng, you are so lucky! Ruonan is such a sensible and capable girl."
"Yes! For the rest of your life, Ruonan will definitely serve you comfortably."
"Zhuang Sheng, hurry up and add a big fat boy, and your life will be complete."
Everyone started joking with each other, but since it was a happy day, everyone's emotions were aroused, and there was no intention of mockery.
Besides, we are all neighbors. We have watched Zhuang Sheng grow up. We all know what kind of person he is and will not ridicule him at this time.
Zhuang Sheng lay on the tall tree's back, looking at everyone with a bright smile.
"Dear uncles and aunts, thank you for your hard work."
Bursts of cheerful laughter came from the yard.
As they were talking, Zhuang Sheng had already been carried to the west room by Gao Shu. After a night of hard work, the west room was decorated into a clean and tidy wedding room, and the room was filled with a faint smell of wheat.
There was a double bed under the window, built earlier by a carpenter. It was the sturdiest kind. Gao Shu was very attentive, even buying paint and repainting it. The bed was a jujube-wood red, giving it the appearance of a solid wood bed, instantly elevating it to a higher level.
There was a wardrobe next to the bed. The wardrobe was Chen Jianmin's dowry when she got married. Chen Jianmin cleaned it and brought it in to Zhuang Sheng.
There is a new dressing table opposite the door. When Gao Shu went to the city to buy four major items, he and Chen Jianguo discussed it and bought it together.
Next to the dressing table was a new washstand. On it were a wedding basin, a soap dish, a new towel, a spittoon...
All the belongings for the wedding were purchased.
Although Gao Shu is a grown man, he is still quite thoughtful.
Zhuang Sheng was deeply moved by everything he saw. When Gao Shu put him on the bed, he looked at Gao Shu with gratitude, unable to utter a word for a long time.
