Chapter 338 Marriage

Xia Juanjuan smiled and said, "We have everything there, so you don't have to prepare anything else, Uncle Yue and Aunt Yue."

Despite saying so, mother-in-law still used the red cloth sent by Xia Juanjuan and stayed up for several nights to make a new wedding dress for Yue Sizhu.

"You can't show it to others when you go out, but it's the same if you wear it inside," said the mother-in-law with a smile.

It's a bit sad to think that my daughter's wedding can't be celebrated with a grand ceremony like fireworks and drums.

"Ah! Sizhu, it's really hard for you. If it weren't for your father and me... you wouldn't have gotten married so hastily, and you wouldn't even dare to wear your wedding dress outside."

Yue Sizhu smiled and said, "Mom, why are you worrying about these things? You have seen what the Nanzheng was like and how the family treated us. What's wrong with a simple wedding? Your daughter is going to enjoy a good life after getting married!"

After hearing this, the mother-in-law wiped her tears and nodded continuously: "Oh! You are right. However, you haven't even married yet, but you are already speaking for your husband's family. Oh! It's true that girls cannot be kept at home when they grow up..."

Yue Sizhu said angrily: "Oh! Mom! Look at what you said! Then why don't I not get married and stay at home with you and my dad..."

When the mother-in-law heard this, she slapped her in the face and said, "Don't talk nonsense! Mom and Dad are eager for you to get married! You will become a lady of wealth..."

Soon the wedding day arrived.

Fu Nanzheng was wearing a brand new Zhongshan suit with a small red cloth patch with a gold star on the chest pocket, which was a substitute for the groom's red flower.

Li Zhan went with them to accompany the bride.

Xia Juanjuan still had to prepare meals and decorate the new house at home, so she didn't go there.

Yue Sizhu wore a bright red wedding gown with an old cotton jacket on the outside. Her hair was carefully tied up with a red hairband.

She also used a matchstick to draw her eyebrows, and used the red paper she used to put on her face during the Chinese New Year as makeup to slightly darken her lips and cheeks. As a result, her face looked brighter than when I saw her two days ago.

When Fu Nanzheng saw it, his eyes lit up. Yue Sizhu lowered her head in embarrassment and asked shyly, "Does it look good?"

Fu Nanzheng smiled foolishly and said, "She looks good. My wife is the prettiest."

Li Zhan on the side thought disapprovingly, my wife is the prettiest.

However, the newcomer is the boss today, so I won’t argue with them.

Yue Sizhu didn't hesitate too much. Fu Nanzheng held her hand and walked with her for a while. When they saw someone, he let go and they got on the boat. Li Zhan walked behind with his father and mother-in-law and also got on the boat.

On Xia Juanjuan's side, there was nothing posted on the courtyard gate or the door frame visible from the outside. However, when she entered the house, she saw a big red double happiness character pasted in the living room, and there were even couplets posted outside the bedroom used as a new house. After entering, there were double happiness characters pasted on the wall, and festive enamel cups and enamel washbasins were placed on the table.

A double bed, neatly covered with a bright red quilt with a pattern of swimming ducks.

According to traditional custom, after making the bed last night, I sprinkled dates, peanuts, and longans on it, which means early birth of a son. Later, I let the triplets sleep on it overnight to press the bed.

It was the first time for the kids in the family to see this formation, and they were as happy as if it were New Year’s Day.

Xiao Wu asked stupidly, "Mom, who in our family is getting married? That's not right. Aren't you and my fourth uncle already married? Do we have to get married again?"

Xia Juanjuan: “…”

This hammer!

Xiao Wen couldn't help but pat his head and said, "You are so stupid! Isn't Third Uncle here these days? He hasn't married yet, so Third Uncle must be getting married."

Xia Juanjuan quickly uttered a "huh" and whispered, "Don't talk about this outside. Um... Even Yanyan, Yeye, and Yaoyao are not allowed to tell anyone, understand?"

Xiao Wu couldn't help but ask: "What if they ask about it?"

Xia Juanjuan thought for a moment and said, "Well...just say it's Chinese New Year."

The main reason is that the triplets are now over three years old. Although they still speak unclearly, they can already say a lot. I am afraid that they are ignorant and will say nonsense outside.

The triplets saw couplets being posted and a table full of delicious food, thinking it was almost like Chinese New Year, so they didn't suspect anything and chased the wolf cub around in the yard happily.

"Oh! It's Chinese New Year again! It's Chinese New Year again!"

In addition to decorating the new house, Xia Juanjuan also cooked a lot of delicious food today.

There were stir-fried shrimps, fried cod, spicy stir-fried squid, kelp and pork ribs soup, as well as pork belly, braised pork ribs, a plate of lamb, a roast chicken, and other vegetarian dishes such as pickled cabbage, stir-fried spinach, cold kelp shreds, cold jellyfish shreds, etc. It was a rich and varied meal.

Soon, Fu Nanzheng, Yue Sizhu, and Li Zhan arrived at the door.

When the triplets saw someone coming, they all ran over and called out in baby voices, "Dad, Uncle Shan! It's New Year's Day again!"

Li Zhan was stunned for a moment, then he picked up Yan Yan and asked with a smile, "New Year? What New Year?"

Yanyan said vaguely: "Couplets... and delicious food!"

Yeye and Yaoyao also said, "Braised pork! Braised spareribs! And... and... braised pork!"

Lizhan then realized that this must be Xia Juanjuan's trick to deceive them.

These three kids like to eat braised pork with soy sauce and braised pork during Chinese New Year. However, Xia Juanjuan is afraid that they are too greasy and eating too much is not good for them, so she tells them that they can only eat them during Chinese New Year and not to eat too much in one meal.

I'll probably remember these three.

Li Zhan suppressed his laughter and said, "Yes, it's the New Year. You guys be good and don't make any noise today, do you hear me? Come and call someone."

As he said that, he put Yanyan down, and let the three kids stand in a row in front of Yue Sizhu, and said with a smile: "Call me Third Aunt."

The three youngsters were confused and politely raised their heads and shouted in unison: "Auntie Shan!"

Lizhan was at a loss for words. What mountain? It should be the third one!

Yue Sizhu's face flushed. She took out three red envelopes from the pocket of her cotton jacket and gave one to each of them, saying with a smile, "Be good!"

As they were talking, Xia Juanjuan, Xiaowen, Xiaowu and Beibei also came out.

Xiaowen, Xiaowu and Beibei were all sensible. They came over and called out politely, "Third Aunt!"

Yue Sizhu also gave a red envelope.

Xia Juanjuan smiled and said, "Come into the house quickly."

After entering the house, Yue Sizhu took off her outer cotton jacket, revealing the red wedding dress underneath.

Fu Nanzheng's eyes lit up and he was stunned.

Xia Juanjuan poked him and said with a smile, "Why are you standing there? Sit down quickly."

Fu Nanzheng then invited Yue Sizhu and his father and mother to join the table.

Xia Juanjuan smiled and took out the telegram sent by Fu Weixin. The content was concise and to the point: "I am deeply moved to hear that San'er has found his true love. I wish you a long and happy marriage. I will tell you the rest when I return to Beijing."

This also means acceptance.

It's too late to send anything or remit money, so for now I can only send a telegram of congratulations.

Yue Sizhu finally felt relieved.

She was somewhat afraid that the Fu family would not agree.

It is not customary to worship heaven and earth nowadays, so Fu Nanzheng and Yue Sizhu kowtowed to their parents-in-law, took red envelopes, and left.

Everyone ate together around the table.

After dinner, my father-in-law and mother-in-law insisted on returning to Emerald Island, fearing that if I stayed here, it would be embarrassing for my daughter-in-law and aunt at night.

Li Zhan and Xia Juanjuan had originally prepared a room for them, but had to give up.

That night, Li Zhan secretly gave Fu Nanzheng a few things and asked him to use them at night.

Fu Nanzheng opened it and saw that it was made of rubber. He didn't know whether to feel upset or grateful.

Li Zhan whispered, "After all, you and your third sister-in-law haven't gotten married yet. If you get pregnant by accident, people will gossip about you..."

Fu Nanzheng: “…”

Lizhan also added: "I use this thing all the time, it's quite useful."

Fu Nanzheng: “…”

It seems that he was the one who introduced this to Li Zhan in the beginning? Now this guy is teasing him instead!

After delivering the charcoal in the snow, Li Zhan went back to his house.

Xia Juanjuan asked curiously, "What did you talk about with Third Brother?"

Li Zhan smiled and said, "Nothing..."

As he spoke, he could not help but sigh and said, "I wonder how long Third Brother and the others will have to wait before they can have their rights officially granted..."

Xia Juanjuan smiled and said, "It should be soon. Probably two to three years."

Li Zhan looked at her and smiled, "How can you be so sure?"

Xia Juanjuan panicked for a moment, and quickly smiled and said, "I guessed. I'm sure I can't wait much longer."

Li Zhan looked at his wife in surprise. Just guess, why are you so nervous?

No words were spoken all night.

The next morning, Yue Sizhu got up with a face full of shame.

Fu Nanzheng stayed on the island for a few more days and then set off back to Beijing.

He had originally discussed with Yue Sizhu whether he could get a spot to return to the city so that Yue Sizhu could go back, but Yue Sizhu was worried about her parents, so he had to give up the plan for the time being.

However, after Yue Sizhu applied for a leave to visit her relatives and returned to Beijing, the Fu family had a meal together again, and they officially recognized her as their daughter-in-law.

The island is still as peaceful as ever.

Xia Juanjuan would still entrust her child to Liu Huifang's care from time to time. She would go to the county town to buy supplies and visit Grandma Luo in Beijing through the space.

However, there is currently no supply from Luocheng.

Mainly because of the relationship between Luo Cheng and Fu Nanzheng, he naturally knew that it had followed Li Zhan to the island. It would be strange if it did not arouse suspicion when it suddenly appeared.

Although she had already told Li Zhan the secret of the space, she didn't intend to let anyone else know.

At other times, Xia Juanjuan would review her textbooks and dry fish and scallops at home.

After all, Xia Juanjuan had suffered the consequences of the college entrance examination before she traveled through time. These contents seemed unfamiliar to her the first time she read them, but she was almost familiar with them by the second time, and it didn't take much effort.

The island has a suitable temperature at the turn of spring and summer, and the sea is vast and blue, which is quite beautiful and comfortable.

Xia Juanjuan finally got the pearl scallop.

The normal pearl breeding period is two to three years. Pearl breeding can only begin after the pearl oysters have matured to a certain degree. The breeding period also takes 1.5 to 3 years, and sufficient water temperature is required for them to grow faster.

However, since Xia Juanjuan has space, it will be much faster.
