For the rest of the time, Lin Xue did not go out again, but focused on taking care of the medicinal herbs she had planted.
Xie Yuchen often rode his motorcycle to nearby villages to collect old medicinal herbs, and also collected a lot of furs from the mountains.
Uncle Xie would carry his weapons and wander into the mountains every day, bringing back a lot of fresh medicinal herbs.
Aunt Niu was in charge of cooking for everyone, taking care of the logistics, and helping Lin Xue tend to the medicinal herbs in the field.
Time flies, and Lin Xue soon turned 18.
After a year of hard work, the Xie family has also made a lot of money.
Not to mention the medicinal herbs harvested from the fields, even those found on the mountain, their family sold for a total of eight or nine thousand yuan.
In addition to what Xie Yuchen collected from outside, this transaction brought in another ten thousand yuan.
The family scraped together enough money for the bride price and the banquet, and then asked a matchmaker to formally arrange the engagement at Lin Xue's house.
From engagement to marriage, it took a little over two months.
On this day, Lin Xue wore a bright red wedding dress and an elaborate hairpin.
Most of the jewelry she wore was silver, with only a few pieces in gold.
Villagers in the mountains especially love this kind of silver jewelry; in the mountains, silver jewelry is even more popular than gold jewelry.
Her head was covered in silver ornaments, plus the ones hanging around her neck and on her wrists.
They're so heavy, they must weigh over ten pounds in total.
Fortunately, the two families lived not far apart, and the wedding procession was not as complicated as the one they had attended before.
Because Lin Xue had no relatives, Xie Yuchen carried her all the way to the Xie family home.
Then, witnessed by the master of ceremonies, the two stepped over three braziers before entering the Xie family's house.
Lin Xue sat in the bridal chamber, and people would come to see the bride from time to time.
Xie Yuchen was outside greeting the neighbors and relatives who had come to offer their congratulations.
The celebratory music outside continued non-stop until nightfall.
One table of the banquet was cleared, and another was set up.
After discussing it, Lin Xue and Xie Yuchen decided that instead of setting up the display for three days, they would just set it up for one day.
After all, if you have money, you might as well save it to build a bigger house; there's no need to waste it on this.
Moreover, most of Xie Yuchen's earnings this year were in her hands. This man was devoted to her, so she naturally wanted to live her life with him sincerely.
at night.
"Ah Xue, I'm so happy today!"
Xie Yuchen walked into the bridal chamber with a flushed face. He half-squatted in front of Lin Xue, his eyes sparkling.
"Didn't I tell you to drink less? Look at you, you've had too much to drink again!"
Lin Xue helped him sit down on the edge of the bed with a bit of a sigh and poured him a glass of warm water.
"hey-hey!"
"Today is our wedding day, I'm so happy!"
Xie Yuchen finished the glass of water in two gulps, then pulled Lin Xue into his arms.
"Ah Xue, now that it's your wedding night, shouldn't you—"
Xie Yuchen held Lin Xue in his arms, finally bringing the young girl into his home.
He felt happier than ever before.
"Not yet!"
Lin Xue pushed Xie Yuchen away and sat down on the other side of the bed.
"Why?"
Xie Yuchen became a little anxious after being pushed by Lin Xue.
Didn't we agree to save the most beautiful moments for our wedding night?
Is Ah Xue going back on her word now?
"I haven't washed up yet!"
"I've been carrying this heavy stuff all day, it's exhausting!"
"Go get me some hot water right now, I want to take a bath!"
After Lin Xue finished speaking, she began to take off her clothes.
Xie Yuchen watched from the side and chuckled to himself.
So that's what the young wife meant! She scared him to death.
"I'll go get you some hot water right away!"
After saying that, Xie Yuchen went to the kitchen and brought in a large wooden bucket.
This wooden bucket was made especially for Lin Xue.
Even before Lin Xue married into the family, he had seen a large wooden tub in her house.
Moreover, he knew that his wife was very clean and took a bath almost every night, and she always had to use hot water.
So, in the period before the wedding, Xie Yuchen chopped a whole shed full of firewood.
"I'm going to take a shower, you can go out now!"
After the bathwater was ready, Lin Xue pushed Xie Yuchen out of the bridal chamber.
"Ah Xue, how about I stay and help you?"
Xie Yuchen still wanted to struggle a bit. After all, the two were already married, so wasn't it normal for him to help his wife take a bath?
Thinking this, Xie Yuchen felt a burning heat all over his body. He paced back and forth outside the bridal chamber, wanting to force his way in but not daring to.
"You stay outside quietly, or go find a place to take a shower!"
"You drank so much, aren't you afraid of the smell bothering me!"
Lin Xue had just taken off her clothes when she heard pacing sounds outside. She angrily yelled at the door.
Then the footsteps disappeared; Xie Yuchen must have gone to find a place to take a shower.
Seeing that no one was disturbing her, Lin Xue sat down in the wooden tub and carefully washed away the sweat from her body.
After taking a nice, hot shower, Xie Yuchen was already standing at the door when she came out.
As soon as Lin Xue opened the door, the other person rushed in and poured buckets of bathwater outside.
Then he patiently dried Lin Xue's hair before closing the door and carefully carrying her to the bed.
"Ah Xue, you're finally mine!"
Xie Yuchen nestled on Lin Xue's shoulder, inhaling the scent of the shampoo emanating from her hair.
Something unspeakable was starting to stir within him. He reached out and embraced Lin Xue's waist, kissing her earlobe little by little.
