Chapter 34 Picking up the bride

October 1st was a sunny and cool autumn day.

Su Mo got up early in the morning to wash and pack her things. She would move to the new home with the bride and the wedding dowry later.

There were still a dozen eggs left from what Lu Changzheng had given her before. She was reluctant to keep them, so she secretly moved them to the space when she was at the educated youth point two days ago. She only left two in the straw basket and gave them to Ma Xiaojuan.

Ma Xiaojuan looked at Su Mo reluctantly, "Su Mo, I can't bear to leave you. Can I come to play with you in the future?"

Although she had known Su Mo for less than a month, Ma Xiaojuan already regarded Su Mo as her good friend.

Su Mo chuckled, "Of course, we are in the same brigade, it's just a few steps away, you can come find me anytime you miss me."

"Okay." Ma Xiaojuan was also happy, "Hurry up and change your clothes, we will help you cut red paper."

The red paper was sent by Lu's family last night, saying that it would be cut and pasted on the wedding dress.

"Okay." Su Mo responded and took out a red corduroy long skirt from the big suitcase.

The style of this skirt is not outdated even in later generations, it is a very popular retro style. In an era full of black, white and gray, this skirt can be said to be very high-end.

Among the clothes brought by the original owner, this is the only red one.

Su Mo was afraid that it would be too high-profile at first, so she didn't dare to wear it.

But after hearing Ma Xiaojuan say last night that the daughter of their Revolutionary Committee Director got married and wore a beautiful red dress, Su Mo decided to wear it.

These days, the situation in the city is more serious than in the countryside. If people in the city dare to wear it, what is there to be afraid of in the countryside?

If nothing unexpected happens, this will be the only time in my life to get married, and who doesn't want to be a beautiful bride?

After Su Mo changed her clothes, Ma Xiaojuan and Chen Lan were stunned.

"Oh my God, Su Mo, you are so beautiful."

"Su Mo, your dress is so beautiful!"

Ma Xiaojuan and Chen Lan exclaimed at the same time.

Su Mo smiled, "Does it look good? Is it too conspicuous?"

"No, it's a wedding, the bride must wear something beautiful." Ma Xiaojuan said immediately, "You are really beautiful and look good in anything. You look better than the director's daughter in the same dress."

Su Mo pursed her lips and smiled, then picked up the makeup mirror and braided a beautiful double braid hairstyle for herself, tying two red rubber bands at the end of her hair.

Ma Xiaojuan cut the word "happiness" while watching Su Mo braiding, "Su Mo, your braid is really beautiful, teach me later."

"Sure." Su Mo nodded. This is a very popular four-strand braiding method in later generations, and there is nothing to hide.

After braiding, Su Mo took out the lipstick of the original owner and slightly colored her lips.

After finishing, Su Mo looked at the beautiful woman in the mirror with a sweet smile, and she was very satisfied.

Lu Changzheng is so charming!

After cutting the Chinese characters for "happiness", Ma Xiaojuan and Chen Lan pasted them on Su Mo's two suitcases and put two more on the bedding.

Su Mo quickly took out the thermos, enamel basin, enamel pot and Lu Changzheng's two vests from the bamboo basket, and put the daily necessities she had used back into the bamboo basket, still covered it with coarse cloth, and let the wedding party move to the new house. When

Chen Lan saw Su Mo taking out so many things, her eyes flashed, but she didn't say anything.

These things already had Chinese characters for "happiness" on them, so there was no need to paste them.

After Chen Lan left, Ma Xiaojuan took out a pair of pillowcases from her luggage bag and handed them to Su Mo, "Su Mo, I wish you a happy wedding."

She had asked Chen Lan before if she wanted to give a gift together, but Chen Lan said that they had just met and she didn't want to give any, so she couldn't take them out in front of her.

Su Mo was a little surprised. She didn't expect Ma Xiaojuan to give her pillowcases.

This thing probably cost one or two yuan, and she was very generous to give it to one person.

"Thank you, Xiaojuan." Su Mo accepted it and put it in the suitcase with her own things.

When Ma Xiaojuan gets married in the future, she will give her something better.

Su Mo brought the straw basket over, secretly put two eggs back in, and handed it to Ma Xiaojuan: "Xiaojuan, there are still four eggs left, I won't take them with me, you can keep them and cook them."

Ma Xiaojuan accepted them without hesitation.

Afterwards, the two chatted in the house.

Around 9 o'clock, the entrance of the educated youth point became lively. Lu Changzheng, wearing a new military uniform, rode a bicycle, brought the bride-picking party, and came to pick up the bride.

At this time, all the ceremonies were simple, without the ceremonies of later generations such as blocking the groom and breaking the door.

When the people carrying the wedding dowry entered the house, Su Mo came out of the room.

When Lu Changzheng saw his wife coming out, his heart was pounding, and he thought his wife was so beautiful today. I'm afraid that in the entire Hongqi Commune, no, Qingxi County, there is no one as beautiful as his wife.

Seeing the bride come out, everyone laughed again.

Afterwards, Su Mo, surrounded by her relatives, rode Lu Changzheng's bicycle to her new home.

The people who came to watch were a little jealous when they saw the people moving the dowry, the two large beds, the brand new pairs of thermoses, enamel washbasins, enamel pots, and the two large suitcases.

The dowry of the bride was quite a lot.

Especially when they saw the red dress the bride wore, the material and style, they had never seen it before. How could an average family afford it?

I'm afraid that this educated youth Su's family conditions would be better than they thought.

Many young men began to envy and hate in their hearts. Lu Changzheng was really lucky. He married a wife who was as beautiful as a fairy and had a good family.
