The TV was showing a wedding scene, and Erbao, cupping his face in his hands, stared at the camera and asked Liu Nian, "Mommy, is this what a wedding is?"
"Yes, look at that bride with her red veil on. The groom's family gave betrothal gifts, and they got married!" Liu Nian was busy with his work and was talking to Erbao casually.
Erbao nodded as if he understood, and said, "Okay, I understand."
Liu Nian asked, amused, "What do you know?"
Erbao, with an air of "I knew it," said, "The groom can kiss the bride later because they're getting married."
Liu Nian was stunned. "Actually..." You could also say that this is a part of the ceremony after the main ceremony in Western weddings.
Then Liu Nian stopped paying attention to Erbao. The three children in their family were left to their own devices, playing wildly in the village like a group of kids, and automatically going home for meals when it was time to eat.
So all afternoon, Erbao was acting suspiciously, sticking his butt out and looking for something.
Then Liu Nian saw him carrying a small package and slipping out of the house with his short legs.
What are they going to do? Liu Nian suddenly thought of the child who ran away from home with a package. Could it be that Erbao was going to run away from home? She hadn't abused the child, had she?
Da Bao said quietly, "Er Bao probably went to marry Sister Qianqian."
"What?" Liu Nian turned around in surprise and looked at Da Bao.
Da Bao stated the facts expressionlessly, "You told him before that he could only kiss girls after marriage, and now he saw a wedding scene on TV. Then he packed his baby bottle and the toy dog he was sleeping with into a small package. This is to deliver the betrothal gifts."
"Huh?" Liu Nian found it both funny and surprising. Before she could react, Sanbao's shout came from the doorway.
"Mom! Erbao is getting married to Sister Qianqian at the village entrance!" Sanbao stood at the door, his voice booming, "Hurry up and go see, they're about to lift the red veil!"
Da Bao shook his head. "Ugh, so boring." He lowered his head, still finding reading more interesting.
"Let's go!" Liu Nian quickly led Sanbao towards the village entrance.
I wonder who this second child took after! I absolutely must never let Su Xu kiss her in front of the children again; what a bad example that is setting!
Sanbao's little legs moved quickly, following Liu Nian's steps, huffing and puffing as he ran and said, "They said that Sister Qianqian will be your daughter-in-law in the future."
Is she really going to be a mother-in-law at such a young age? Liu Nian was both amused and exasperated. Would this second child be thinking about getting married every day in the future? Did his father think about getting married every day back then?
When he got to the village entrance, Liu Nian thought of digging a hole and burying himself.
A crowd of people, not just children, but also some adults, were watching with great interest.
A little girl with a red cloth on her head was being led by Erbao, and a group of children cheered, "Erbao is getting married!"
"Let's pay our respects to heaven and earth!"
Erbao tilted his head back and looked at his group of brothers with a smug expression, as if to say, "Look, none of you have wives..."
"Erbao, how old are you and you're already thinking about getting married?"
"Oh my, your mom's so young and already a mother-in-law! Haha, she's gotta be one early so she won't have trouble finding a boyfriend when she grows up, haha!"
"Hey, Sister Liu!" The group of adults who were watching the commotion saw Liu Nian, smiled and waved to her, "Come on, your son is about to lift the red veil."
Liu Nian really wanted to die on the spot... Her face flushed, she wondered what to do.
In this situation, you can't hit them, you can't scold them...
