"Why would I say these things outside? I'm worried that it might ruin your reputation and delay your marriage." Ma Xiuzhu said.
Lu Xingxing admired her, "Tiantian, you are so straightforward. Jianpeng and I had quarrels and broke up several times before, but we never got together. We just made up after a lot of effort."
Yang Niannian also admired Lu Tiantian's decisiveness. He broke up with her right away during the passionate period of their relationship. Most people couldn't do that.
With such a clear mind, there is nothing you can’t succeed in in the future, right?
She said with admiration.
"Tiantian, you are still young. Since Liu Jingjing is not suitable, then try to get in touch with other girls. Marriage is not a joke. Finding the right person is the most important thing."
Lu Ruoling nodded, "Yes! My eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law have found the right person. Look how happy we are. Don't be sad. If you like someone, I'll ask my eldest sister-in-law to find a matchmaker to come to our house and propose marriage."
Seeing that everyone cared about him, Lu Tiantian touched his forehead and smiled.
"Aunt, aunt, you don't have to worry about me. I'm not that sad. Liu Jingjing and I haven't been together for long. We didn't have much contact, so it's not that unforgettable."
The reason he started dating Liu Jingjing wasn't because he liked her that much. It was Liu Jingjing who expressed her affection for him first, so he thought of giving it a try.
Thinking of this, he took out the money and wanted to return it to everyone, but no one wanted it and asked him to keep it as pocket money.
Lu Shishen and Li Fengyi remained silent, but they had similar ideas: to find a suitable wife, a girl they liked, so that they would be willing to work hard for the family.
Lu Guozhi felt unhappy. He thought he could take advantage of his eldest grandson's marriage to show off in front of the Liu family, but he didn't expect that nothing would happen on the first day Liu Jingjing came to their house.
But then again, he was not very satisfied with Liu Jingjing. How could she be looked at coldly by a room full of elders when she came to their house for the first time?
Still feeling somewhat uncomfortable, he stood up with a stern face.
"It doesn't matter if it doesn't work out. I'll go to the orchard to take a look. You guys can look around and see if there's anything else you haven't bought at home. Then go to the street and buy some. Hurry up and put up the wedding sign. Xingxing is getting married tomorrow. You have to make it beautiful so that others won't laugh at you."
Yang Niannian smiled with her eyes curved. Why did her father-in-law look like he had just suffered a breakup and had lost all his energy and spirit?
Perhaps because he was thinking about old things, Lu Guozhi was in a really bad mood. He drank a bowl of porridge for dinner and went back to his room to sleep.
The next day, before dawn, Yang Niannian got up early and went to Lu Xingxing's room to put on bridal makeup for her.
Originally, she was planning to go to the photo studio in town to find someone to do her makeup. Yang Niannian thought that her makeup skills were no worse than those of the people in the photo studio, so she took the job directly.
Nowadays, few people wear wedding dresses when getting married in the countryside. Most of them just wear red coats and long slit skirts.
Yang Niannian gave Lu Xingxing a beautiful classical makeup based on her clothes and styled her in a bridal hairstyle that suited her face shape.
I have to say that Yang Niannian's aesthetic taste is good. She showed off all the advantages of Lu Xingxing's face. Lu Ruoling kept praising her for her beauty.
Lu Xingxing was also very satisfied with Yang Niannian's technique and said shyly.
"Thank you, Auntie. I didn't know I could be so pretty."
Yang Niannian said with a little regret.
"We are in a hurry. Otherwise, I would have ordered a set of kimono for you at a tailor shop in Jing City. You will definitely look better in a kimono."
"Showing off your kimono?" Lu Xingxing was very curious. "What kind of clothing is that?"
Yang Niannian explained, "It's the bright red wedding dress that the bride wears when she gets married. It's very beautiful."
Lu Xingxing said regretfully.
"Aunt, I actually regret getting pregnant before marriage."
Yang Niannian said softly with a faint smile.
"As long as you live well in the future, it's fine. Today is your wedding day, don't think too much, just be happy."
Lu Ruoling also comforted her, "Yes, don't think too much, come here quickly, I will sew your clothes for you."
There are some bad customs in the countryside these days. Some people use the name of a wedding to do vulgar things, such as pulling out the bride's red belt, saying that the belt can cure back pain and so on. In fact, there is no basis for this, but many people believe it.
In order to prevent the bride from exposing herself, her family will sew her long underwear and long johns together. This makes it inconvenient for her to go to the toilet, so the bride basically does not eat in the morning and at noon.
Yang Niannian didn’t understand these customs and couldn’t comprehend them, but she was the sister-in-law and couldn’t go to the groom’s house with the bride, so she could only let Lu Ruoling protect Lu Xingxing in the traditional way.
A lot of people came to the house early in the morning. After Lu Xingxing had finished cleaning up, many adults and children came in to see the bride and ask for candy.
Guan Ailian prepared a lot of wedding candies and peanuts in advance. Not only did the children scramble to eat them, but even some adults rushed to put them in their pockets.
On such a happy occasion, they didn't want to cause unpleasantness, so even if they saw some adults doing something out of line, they endured it and didn't get angry.
After the relatives and elders arrived, they all sat beside the bed and started saying sentimental words, each of them holding Xingxing's hand and speaking.
"Xingxing, you are an adult now that you are married. You should come back to visit your parents more often in the future."
"Our Xingxing has grown up and become more and more beautiful. In my heart, she is still a child. I didn't expect that we would be married in a blink of an eye."
"When you go to your husband's house, you can't be the same as at home. You have to be filial to your parents-in-law and be more diligent. Otherwise, people will say that your parents didn't teach their daughter well."
Lu Xingxing was quite moved when she heard what her aunts and uncles said, but she didn't expect that something went wrong while they were talking. Fortunately, at this time, she didn't know which child shouted loudly.
"Here comes the groom."
After these words were spoken, the relatives finally let go of Xingxing's hand and happily invited the groom into the house.
This was the first time Yang Niannian and Lu Ruoling met Xingxing’s boyfriend. He had regular features, a tall stature, and the most popular 3:7 hairstyle. He looked good, but they didn’t know what his character was like.
There was no blocking the door ceremony in those days. After everyone had been playing for a while, the groom's relatives urged him to carry Xingxing on the bridal sedan, but he was stopped by the bride's family.
"According to the rules here, the younger brother has to carry the bride to the bridal sedan chair, and the groom carries her when she gets off the sedan chair."
Guo Pengfei was quite tactful. Upon hearing this, he stepped back and waited for Lu Tiantian to come in and carry the person. He was smiling all the time and looked quite friendly.
Lu Xingxing had been smiling the whole time, but when Lu Tiantian came in and carried her on his back, she suddenly realized that when she came back from now on, she would not be going home, but going back to her parents' home.
This thought made her eyes red. She looked at Lu Ruoling and Yang Niannian reluctantly, holding back her tears and sobbing.
"Aunt, aunt, I can't bear to leave you."
Seeing her like this, Lu Ruoling's eyes turned red. She turned around and leaned on Yang Niannian's shoulder, trying not to cry.
She watched Lu Xingxing grow up, and she was reluctant to let him go.
Yang Niannian comforted Lu Xingxing with a few words, then asked Lu Tiantian to carry the person out. After everyone left, she comforted Lu Ruoling again.
"Don't be sad, Xingxing is just getting married. We can come back to see her anytime we want, and she can also come to see us. Let's go, let's send Ruo Ling to the bridal sedan first."
