Qian Xiang helped Guo Ni onto the bicycle and took her for a ride around the village. Many people in the village had mixed opinions about Qian Xiang being able to ride a bicycle to pick up his wife. The bicycle was brought by Qian Xiang's wife, and everyone felt that the Qian family had married a golden nugget.
Some people also said sourly that their sons were much better looking than Qian Xiang, and they didn't know that Guo's family was so well-off. They wished they had let their sons pursue Guo, and so on.
Jin Jinxiu and He Ying naturally heard these sarcastic remarks, but since they were already family and had even gotten their marriage certificate, and especially since Guo Ni was a really well-behaved and not old-fashioned, and most importantly, the two children liked each other, and they liked each other too.
Guo Ni sat in the new house, looking at all the traces of Qian Xiang's life in it. Her own wardrobe was placed in the corner, declaring that she was the mistress of this little home.
The noise outside made Guo Ni unable to suppress her smile. Back in their hometown, although the two had held a wedding ceremony, Qian Xiang said that they did not have a marriage certificate, so he had never touched her. Thinking about what happened tonight, Guo Ni's face turned red.
Qian Xiang pushed the bicycle into the house and put it aside. Then he walked over to Guo Ni, took her hand, and said, "Let's go offer a toast to the elders, and then you can have something to eat too."
Guo Ni nodded and followed behind Qian Xiang to toast the village elders. Everyone said auspicious words, and Guo Ni smiled and thanked the elders for coming to her and Qian Xiang's wedding. The elders nodded and praised Qian Xiang's generous demeanor as the new bride. Guo Ni was shocked when she saw the dishes on the table. There were eight dishes on each table, and three of them were meat dishes. No wonder everyone praised the Qian family's wedding. Such a feast was second to none in Beian Village.
Before afternoon, everyone went home. Qian Sheng, along with his wife and children, helped Qian Cai's family pack up their things, returning the borrowed tables and chairs, as well as the borrowed bowls and chopsticks.
There were quite a few people from both families, and the rest were from Qian Sheng's family. Guo Ni was also helping to pack things up. Qian Sheng smiled and said, "Big brother, now that Qian Xiang's matter is settled, you have one less thing to worry about."
Qian Cai laughed and said, "That's true. And since this daughter-in-law came into the family, I think Qian Xiang has grown up quite a bit."
Qian Sheng smiled as he watched Qian Xiang serving food to his wife. Jin Jinxiu also smiled and whispered to He Ying, "Sister-in-law, you don't know, all these people who came today are so sour. Some of their words are even more sour than the vinegar in the entire supply and marketing cooperative. Take Wu Cunhua from the north end of our village, for example. Her father named her Cunhua, and she really thinks she is. She was eating while saying that she was better than the bride. I just burst out laughing at her."
He Ying said with a smile, "Before the eldest brother met Nini, this Wu village belle tried to get close to him, but I ignored her. Now it seems that Nini is the best."
As the only martial arts practitioner present, Guo Ni was sharp-eyed and heard He Ying and Jin Jinxiu's conversation. She also gave Wu Cunhua a name. However, today was her big day, so she had to be happy.
After Guo Ni and Qian Xiang returned to their room, the two newlyweds seemed unsure of what to do. In the end, Qian Xiang took the initiative and pulled Guo Ni into his arms. Guo Ni's face was flushed, and Qian Xiang looked at her with a hint of enviousness. Finally, he gently kissed Guo Ni's red lips, and then the two lay down on the heated kang bed. The red quilt on the kang reflected their shadows, and the red quilt rippled.
After everything quieted down, Qian Xiang held Guo Ni in his arms, thinking about the blissful experience they had just had. He gently kissed Guo Ni's blushing cheek and whispered, "You weren't hurt, were you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Guo Ni shook her head and said, "I felt a little uncomfortable at first, but it was different later."
Qian Xiang chuckled: "You look so beautiful today. When I went to pick up the bride, the moment I saw you, I knew this beautiful bride was my wife. My wife is so beautiful, I only cherish you!"
Guo Ni said with a smile, "Duoduo did my hair today, and I think it looks good. When I saw you looking dumbfounded, I couldn't help but laugh."
Jin Jinxiu returned home, exhausted, and lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed). She smiled and said, "Little Guo's hair looks really nice today, especially those two flowers on her head; they look familiar." Then her gaze fell on the flowerpot on her windowsill. Originally, there were four flowers, but now only two remained. Her tired body immediately sat up: "Who's there? Why are two of my flowers missing?"
Qian Sheng looked at the flowerpot and said in a trembling voice, "Tell me, are these two flowers that Xiao Guo, the educated youth, had today yours?"
Jin Jinxiu found a broom for sweeping the kang (a heated brick bed) and slapped it down, saying, "I knew those two flowers looked familiar. They're mine!"
Qian Sheng looked at Jin Jinxiu and coughed lightly: "Well, Xiu, today is a big day for my brother's family. Let's not get angry with them over these two flowers."
Jin Jinxiu immediately said, "Why would I be angry with my older brother and the others? If I'm angry, it's with the person who picked my flowers."
Qian Sheng said, "Do you know who it is?"
Jin Jinxiu paused for a moment, then looked towards Qian Duoduo's room.
Following his wife's gaze, Qian Sheng saw that it was his eldest daughter's room and immediately said, "Well, wife, you must be tired today. Let's go to sleep first."
