Bai Lina laughed triumphantly. "Since you're willing to correct your mistakes and have a good attitude, I'll do you a favor and help you decorate your new house."
"Thank you so much, sister-in-law!" Su Jinyue smiled and bowed. The new house had been decorated yesterday. She only needed to follow the custom and put eggs, peanuts, longans, and sugarcane under the quilt and sheets. These were all customs unique to their Shangxin Village.
"Jinyue, why did you scatter these peanuts and longans here?" Bai Lina pointed curiously at the peanuts and longans on the pillow.
"Longan and peanuts mean early birth of a baby, and sugarcane means wishing the newlyweds a happy life like sugarcane." Su Jinyue explained.
"What about these eggs?" Bai Lina pointed to the eggs on the wedding plate beside her.
"These eggs need to be hidden later. When the bride comes, the people who come to escort her will secretly take these eggs away and give them to their own children. The meaning is similar to peanuts and longans." Su Jinyue said.
Bai Lina immediately became interested. "This is so fun. Let me hide the eggs. Where are eggs usually kept?"
"You can put them in the wedding quilt or in the toilet. The toilet is also called the "descendant's bucket," so eggs must be placed there." Su Jinyue pointed to the red lacquer toilet next to the wooden washbasin and foot basin. These were all newly purchased and necessary for the dowry.
"I didn't expect there were so many things to consider when getting married." Bai Lina picked up the eggs, walked to the red lacquer toilet, opened it, and asked, "How many eggs should I put in?"
"Good things come in pairs." Su Jinyue placed the sugarcane across the bed, sprinkled some longan, peanuts, and a few candies on it, and then stacked the wedding quilt on top.
"Jinyue, Nana, go eat quickly." Wang Meizhen walked in. After dinner, Jinyue and Nana went to pick up the bride.
"Yeah." Su Jinyue placed the red double happiness character on the wedding quilt. Seeing that Nana had already placed the wedding eggs, she walked out with her.
After finishing lunch in a hurry, Su Jinyue and her group got on the car and headed towards the city amid the sound of firecrackers.
When couples got married in Shangxin Village, those closer to the village used oxcarts or bicycles, while those farther away borrowed tractors. Naturally, the Qin family wouldn't agree to such a shabby wedding for their daughter. After some discussion, Su Jinyue called Han Yiyuan and arranged for several cars and a small truck, which, combined with their own vehicle, immediately solved the transportation problem. This once again brought honor to the Zhan family. This was a first for Shangxin Village.
The long convoy set off with such fanfare that it would have attracted attention not only in the mountain village but also in the city.
Qin Xiaoyun sat on her bed nervously. When she heard the sound of firecrackers outside, she knew Zhan Yifeng had come to pick her up. Her last name had been changed, and her household registration would be transferred to the Qin family after the Lantern Festival.
Yesterday, Qin Haoran asked Zhan Yifeng and the others to come over to discuss whose surname the child should take. After all, the Zhan family has three sons, while the Qin family only has one daughter, Qin Xiaoyun.
Seeing that Qin Xiaoyun was a little nervous, Fang Shuyi reached out and patted her hand, "Don't be nervous, Mom will be with you." She turned her head and sniffed, trying not to let her tears flow. She had finally found her daughter, and before they had a good time together, she was going to get married so soon. She really couldn't bear to let her go.
"Mom, I will come back to see you often in the future." Qin Xiaoyun felt a little sad when she saw Fang Shuyi was sad.
"Yeah." Fang Shuyi turned her head and forced a smile. "When you get to your husband's house, you must listen to your mother-in-law and father-in-law, respect your elders, and don't act like a child, okay?" This was what her mother told her when she got married.
"Mom, I will." Qin Xiaoyun nodded, tears rolling down her cheeks.
"Don't cry, otherwise your makeup will be ruined. If you become a little cat, you won't look good when you get married." Fang Shuyi took out a handkerchief and gently helped Qin Xiaoyun wipe away her tears.
There was a voice outside the door, followed by a knock on the door, "Xiao Yun, open the door." Zhan Yifeng's voice came in.
Fang Shuyi smiled and patted Qin Xiaoyun's hand, "Mom, go open the door."
"Yeah." Qin Xiaoyun nodded. There was a hint of nervousness in her heart, but more of anticipation.
As the door opened, Zhan Yifeng walked in with a bouquet of flowers in his hand, followed by a large group of people.
"Hurry up and go." He Bing smiled and pushed Zhan Yifeng.
Zhan Yifeng took two quick steps and came to Qin Xiaoyun, handing the flowers to her, "Xiaoyun, please marry me!"
Qin Xiaoyun smiled shyly and was about to reach out to take the flowers.
"You have to kneel down to show your sincerity. This step cannot be skipped. Don't you agree?" He Bing said in a teasing voice.
"Yes." Everyone echoed in unison.
Zhan Yifeng smiled and waved to everyone, then knelt on one knee and handed the flowers to Qin Xiaoyun. "Xiaoyun, marry me! I will definitely treat you well in the future."
Qin Xiaoyun took the flowers with a red face and said, "I promise."
"Now the groom can kiss the bride." He Bing spoke again.
Qin Xiaoyun's face turned even redder and she lowered her head shyly.
Zhan Yifeng reached out and lifted Qin Xiaoyun's chin, lowered his head, and quickly kissed her forehead. As for kissing, that was for tonight's wedding night, and he wouldn't let anyone see it.
After putting the wedding ring on Qin Xiaoyun's finger, Zhan Yifeng reached out, picked up Qin Xiaoyun, and walked outside.
Amidst the lively sound of firecrackers, everyone got on the bus again and headed towards Shangxin Village with the sound of gongs and drums.
Zhan Yiping heard the sound of firecrackers outside, stood up, and was about to run out. Her second brother was getting married today, and as a younger sister, how could she not go? Perhaps she would spend the rest of her life in prison, never to see her family again.
"Where are you going?" Gu Qiuyu stopped Zhan Yeping and prevented her from leaving.
Feng Mushui also stepped forward and said gloomily, "You can't go anywhere until my mother wakes up."
"But today is my second brother's wedding." Zhan Yeping said crying.
"What's wrong with getting married? If you have the guts, wake my mother up. I'm telling you, there are only two days left. If she's still not awake by then, I'll report her to the police station," Feng Mushui said in a deep voice. If Su Jinyue hadn't promised his mother she'd be fine, he wouldn't have been so calm.
"Zhan Yeping, let me tell you, our Feng family is not easy to bully. If we hadn't promised to give Dr. Su three days, and your family hadn't served him with delicious food and fish, do you think you could sit here peacefully?" Zhang Hexiang put her hands on her hips and looked at Zhan Yeping with a mocking expression.
Zhan Yiping bit her lip, turned around and walked back to the bed to sit down, silently shedding tears. They were really too much. She was not irresponsible. It wouldn't be a big deal if she asked her to go out and see her second brother and sister-in-law.
