Chapter 80 Red Envelopes
Gu Yiye's loud voice echoed throughout the courtyard of the educated youth settlement.
Lin's father and elder brother had already left Liu Jianshe's house and were sitting with Lin's mother and sister-in-law, keeping Lin Shanshan company.
Zeng Huihuang and Chen Meili blocked the doorway: "Brother, if you want to marry a bride, you have to give her a red envelope."
Gu Yiye smiled and said, "Okay, there will be red envelopes and wedding candy."
Zhang Wei handed out red envelopes and wedding candies to Zeng Huihuang and Chen Meili from behind. When the two opened them, they were surprised to find that each red envelope contained 10 yuan.
That's equivalent to half a month's salary for an average worker.
Zeng Huihuang immediately opened the door like a lackey, and Gu Yiye entered with ease.
Pushing open the door, Gu Yiye saw Lin Shanshan sitting on the edge of the bed, dressed in a bright red Xiuhe dress. The vibrant red made her fair skin look even more delicate, and her pair of affectionate fox eyes sparkled. Gu Yiye was immediately stunned and couldn't help but swallow.
Lin Shanshan looked up and saw Gu Yiye standing in front of her, dressed in a brand-new military uniform, looking as tall and straight as a young poplar tree, full of vigor and spirit.
Seeing that the two of them couldn't see the outsiders, Lin's father coughed helplessly, indicating to the newlyweds that there were other people present.
Gu Yiye snapped out of his daze and, upon seeing Lin's parents, immediately knelt down: "Dad, Mom, I've come to take Shanshan into the family."
Lin's father took out a gift box, opened it, and took out two Shanghai brand watches, one for Gu Yiye and one for Lin Shanshan.
"Dad doesn't have much to give you, just a watch for each of you. Wear them carefully and keep them until the end of time."
The older sister-in-law took out a Seagull camera: "Xiao Gu, this is a small token of our appreciation from Brother Shanshan and me."
Gu Yiye accepted the watch with both hands, immediately put it on his wrist, and then helped Lin Shanshan put it on as well.
"Thank you, Mom and Dad, thank you, eldest brother and sister-in-law."
Lin's mother said, "Good child, get up. From now on, I'm entrusting Nannan to you. You two should live a good life."
Gu Yiye promised, "Mom and Dad, don't worry, I will take good care of Shanshan."
Tears welled up in Lin's mother and sister-in-law's eyes without their noticing, and Lin's father and brother's eyes were also red. When Lin Shanshan saw this, she also started to cry.
Lin's mother wiped away her tears with a handkerchief and said, "Silly child, it's a joyous day, don't cry. Just live a good life with Xiao Gu."
Brother Lin squatted down and said, "Nannan, I'll carry you out the door."
Lin Shanshan was carried into the car by her older brother and sat in the passenger seat. Gu Yiye drove, while Lin's parents and sister-in-law sat in the back seat.
The eldest brother and Zhang Wei sat on Zhang Daqiang's motorcycle in the back.
The others followed the car back, fortunately the educated youth settlement was not far from Gu Yiye's home.
When they arrived home, Gu Yiye carried Lin Shanshan out of the car and placed her in the master bedroom, where the bed was covered with red dates, peanuts, longans, and melon seeds.
Gu Yiye gently placed Lin Shanshan on the bed and said, "My little wife, we got our marriage certificate, and today we had our wedding ceremony with our parents as witnesses. I, no, I'm so happy today."
As he spoke, he excitedly hugged Lin Shanshan and showered her with kisses.
Gu Xiang knocked on the door: "Brother, sister-in-law, I've brought you some food."
Gu Yiye hurriedly let go of Lin Shanshan, tidied her hair, and then got up to open the door.
Lin Shanshan wiped her face helplessly, "That jerk of a man is really..."
Gu Xiang brought in brown sugar and eggs, saying, "Sister-in-law, have some eggs to tide you over."
"Thank you, big sister."
Lin Shanshan took the egg, took a bite, and said, "My parents, older brother, and sister-in-law haven't had breakfast yet. Is there anything else to eat at home?"
Gu Xiang said, "Yes, Yiye invited the owner of Niulongzi from the commune over. They made beef noodles this morning, and they're eating them in the yard now."
Upon hearing the name "beef noodles," Lin Shanshan suddenly felt that the egg in her bowl no longer smelled good, and the sweet soup no longer tasted sweet. She handed the bowl to Gu Yiye, saying, "Brother Gu, this is for you. I want to eat beef noodles, and I want them spicy."
"Okay, wife."
Gu Yiye placed the sweet egg soup on the dressing table and went outside to bring Lin Shanshan some beef noodles, adding extra beef and chili.
