The burning palm clasped her fair and tender hand in an instant, "Don't be afraid."
"I..." Su Niannian was just about to say what she had to be afraid of when the sound of cannon fire suddenly exploded in her ears. She jumped into the man's arms like a rabbit. Gu Zhiye's strong arms naturally wrapped around her shoulders, blocking out the fluttering red paper and the laughter of the crowd.
It was very lively, like a grand event for the whole village.
Su Niannian's eyes swept around the Gu family's old house. Unlike her own thatched house, the Gu family's house was made of red bricks and black tiles, the yard was paved with cement, and the private plots and chicken coops were well-kept and very clean.
She leaned against the wall and stepped over the threshold. She saw the old man who was pasting the wedding characters. Gu's mother was wearing a blue coarse cloth shirt with a front opening. Her face was full of kind wrinkles. If you didn't know her, you would think she was Gu Zhiye's grandmother. She was a bit old. The young woman with a bun helped the other person get off the bench and pursed her lips and said, "Mom, look, Zhiye is back with his wife."
The old man turned around tremblingly, and joy suddenly spread in his eyes.
"Is it Nian Nian? Zhiye, you really brought Nian Nian back..."
Gu Zhiye said "hmm" in a light tone.
Wang Guifen behind him immediately went forward to greet him.
"My dear relatives, are you feeling better? This is your eldest daughter-in-law, right? Look at her, she's so pretty!"
"It's our eldest daughter-in-law, Hongmei." Mother Gu held Wang Guifen's hand and said with a smile, "Hongmei, this is Niannian's grandmother, you can follow her and call her Grandma Wang! Zhiye, don't just stand there, take Niannian to see the betrothal gifts we have prepared and the new house we have decorated."
In an unfamiliar environment, Su Niannian became much more reserved.
She followed Gu Zhiye closely into the house.
At the innermost part was a newly decorated room, with red sheets and quilt covers, and even the pillowcases were in the style of mandarin ducks playing in the water. At this moment, Gu Zhiye was unbuttoning his shirt. He took the white shirt hanging on the washstand and put it on. Although he moved quickly, Su Niannian still saw the scars on his back. There were more than one, like knife wounds, gunshot wounds...
The praises for the two people in the hospital never stopped.
The moment Su Niannian was distracted, she saw the muscular abdominal muscles and the brown chest. Looking up, Gu Zhiye's sharp eyes with his brows pressed down glanced at her and asked in a calm voice, "Are you satisfied with what you see?"
Su Niannian covered her eyes with her hands: "I didn't see anything."
A force pulled her hand down. Gu Zhiye frowned slightly, seeming a little puzzled. "The sewing machine, bicycle, Phoenix watch, newly made forty-six legs, porcelain basin, kettle, pillowcase, etc. were all picked out by my sister-in-law for you. If you need anything else, I'll take you to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy them later."
A hint of blush appeared on Su Niannian's earlobe.
Only then did she realize that the inner room was filled with brand new yellow wooden furniture, even a dressing table. A whole wall of mirrors reflected her rosy cheeks and bright eyes. Behind her was Gu Zhiye, wearing a white shirt and green military pants. Su Niannian felt that he looked a little unhappy. Even through his shirt, she could see the outline of his taut muscles, which looked very wild.
Su Niannian swallowed because she was nervous.
Gu Zhiye lowered his head to adjust his sleeves and asked casually, "Thirsty?"
"Um."
After getting her response, Gu Zhiye immediately went to the main room to pour water.
The white enamel pot with blue rim was handed to the little girl, and he added: "New."
Unexpectedly, this man was quite considerate. Su Niannian's beautiful almond-shaped eyes curved into two smiling crescent-shaped arcs. She gulped down half a jar of water. Perhaps the water splashed onto her red lips, so she licked her lips naturally.
Of course, Gu Zhiye did not miss her little action.
His eyes darkened, he took the enamel cup calmly, and immediately led the person out of the room.
…
At dinner time.
Su Niannian was surrounded by Gu's relatives.
The sallow-faced woman smiled and said, "Chiye's new bride is so pretty!"
"No wonder he waited so long! But I see that he is much whiter and prettier than when he was little, like a fairy in a New Year picture!"
Su Jianshan was sitting at the next table, his mouth full of greasy food, and he didn't forget to interject, "My sister is the prettiest!"
Wang Guifen brought a pot of chicken soup to the table, sat down next to Su Niannian, and smiled as she dismissed everyone. "They say girls change a lot when they grow up, and become more and more beautiful! Since she was a child, I have never let Niannian do rough work. I have pampered her and made her plump and fair, so that she can give birth to a fat son for the Gu family! I have done my best for Longhua..."
Mother Gu was supported by her eldest daughter-in-law and sat opposite Su Niannian.
A pair of cloudy old eyes stared at her.
Su Niannian quickly scooped up some chicken soup and placed it in front of the old lady. Her sensible action earned her praise from everyone. The eldest daughter-in-law, Ma Hongmei, felt a little embarrassed. She smiled and said, "Grandma Wang is so modest. Half a year ago, my mother asked someone to go to Xiangyang Village to inquire about it. People there said that she was hardworking and kind. The only thing they missed was that she was as beautiful as a fairy. My little brother got lucky..."
This Su Niannian is not that Su Niannian.
Except for the ignorant Su Jianshan, the other two were suffocated for a moment. Wang Guifen squeezed her granddaughter's hand calmly and said calmly: "It's enough to be in love with each other. Other things are not important. By the way, Zhiye is an officer. You need to report before getting married. What information do you need? I can help you sort it out later..."
Mother Gu placed the greasy chicken drumstick in Su Niannian's bowl and smiled kindly, "Many people can live their whole lives without that piece of paper. We don't care about that. Zhiye can handle the marriage report when the time comes. Since you have entered our Gu family, you are our daughter-in-law. You have entered the ancestral hall and worshipped the ancestors. It is considered a complete ceremony here..."
Su Niannian felt a little uncomfortable.
She raised her eyes and met the cold gaze from the next table. Gu Zhiye rarely smiled, like a melting iceberg, bringing a little warmth.
Su Niannian originally wanted to find an opportunity to talk things out with someone, but Wang Guifen accompanied her the whole time, even when they went to the ancestral hall. Due to the long journey, they all stayed at Gu's house. As the youngest daughter-in-law of the Gu family, Su Niannian naturally shared a room with Gu Zhiye, and the rest of the time they were alone.
She sat on the edge of the bed, not even daring to wrinkle the white sheets.
Waiting obediently for Gu Zhiye to enter the room.
In the warm night, the sound of a man's footsteps was heard suddenly.
She didn't even bother to put on her shoes and ran over barefoot: "I have something to tell you..."
Perhaps he had just taken a shower, for water splashed all over the man's body, even his arms were covered with water droplets, and his vest was tightly attached to his waist and abdomen.
Su Niannian saw half of his face hidden in the darkness. The muscles on his body were outlined by a powerful painter. His deep eyes raised wrinkles and looked at her. His voice was slightly hoarse: "I will return to the army in three days. You stay at home to take care of your mother. I will mail all the monthly salary and banknotes back. Later...you can follow the army or stay at home."
He directly lifted Su Niannian up with one hand.
Su Niannian's alarm bells rang and her whole body stiffened.
The rough hand with thin calluses accidentally touched her skin, bringing a strange numbing sensation. All the experiences of her past life came to her mind. Su Niannian's eyes froze and she subconsciously raised her foot to kick. The next second, her legs were grabbed by someone and her skirt was almost exposed.
Gu Zhiye laughed dumbly, "The night is long, you don't have to rush."
"Wait! I'm not the Su Niannian you want!" Su Niannian's chest kept heaving. She had to negotiate with Gu Zhiye properly, so she might as well tell him all about the Su family. After all, no one was wrong, and she was indeed a child of the Su family.
All the beauty was extinguished.
Gu Zhiye realized at this moment that she was not shy just now, but rejected...
He put Su Niannian on the bed and wiped the stains from her feet with a towel. He paused for a second before asking, "Don't you want to marry me?"
"No, I'm just afraid that you'll regret it. Virtuous and hardworking have nothing to do with me. I don't even know how to use the earthen stoves in your countryside. I can only say that I try my best to take care of people." Su Niannian's breath was slightly choked, and she said tentatively: "Feudal marriage is indeed criticized. I can try my best to play the role of a good wife. If I can satisfy everyone, can I go to the northwest to develop in the future? As for the rest..."
"My mother likes you very much. We can discuss the rest in the next two days."
He pulled the sheets off the bed.
Of course I slept on the ground.
A good night's sleep.
Only Su Niannian, who was worried, tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. Seeing Gu Zhiye going for a run in the early morning with a refreshed spirit, she muttered, "It's obviously him who is sleeping on the floor, why am I the one who is feeling uncomfortable..."
Mother Gu approached with a staggering gait. She asked with a smile, "Niannian, what did you say?"
Su Niannian patted her waist and said, "It's nothing, my waist hurts a little."
"It's normal for a girl to have back pain. It's all because of Zhiye's lack of self-control. I'll talk more about him later..."
While talking, Ma Hongmei was excited to help clean the room.
That squeamish complaint still echoes in my ears.
They were all men who had sex for the first time, and they were as fierce as wolves and tigers. People who had experienced it certainly understood that feeling. Considering Gu Zhiye's physique, it seemed a miracle to her that he could still get up. Ma Hongmei's envious eyes suddenly froze when she saw the spotless white sheets.
Her expression changed immediately.
