Chapter 72 Getting Married
The villagers surrounded the Su family courtyard in three layers, and everyone's face was filled with joy.
Even the little kids who were usually afraid of Pei Huaiye were now grinning and making a noise, "Give out wedding candies! Give out wedding candies! Give out wedding candies!"
Li Gousheng and Chen Erdan even clung to Yuan Guang's bicycles and refused to get off, "You are not allowed in unless you give us wedding candy!"
Pei Huaiye's smile reached the bottom of his eyes. He gestured behind him, and the six people behind him took out a handful of wedding candies from their pockets and threw them high into the air.
"Wow! Let's eat wedding candy!"
"There's even White Rabbit candy!"
The crowd cheered enthusiastically, and all rushed out to look for wedding candies! The little kids were like loaches, jostling for position to see who could pick up more wedding candies.
"I got some fruit candy, so I can share in the joy!"
Pei Huaiye was about to enter the door but was stopped by the second wave of people, who were sprinkling compliments on him like crazy.
This is the custom in the village, stopping the groom several times means it is not easy to marry a wife and he should cherish her.
Li Zilan was so busy that she had no time to rest. She had to prepare breakfast for the bride in the morning, check the dowry, and then go to Pei's new house to direct the arrangements for the wedding banquet.
Su Qingwu handed her a small bowl of noodles and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? I've made sure the wedding banquet is well arranged. With so many people, it will definitely go smoothly. Eat something quickly. You won't have time to eat when the bride-pickers arrive."
Li Zilan looked at her husband, her face slightly reddened. She quickly ate a bowl of noodles and said, "Everyone is having fun with the wedding candy outside. Come on! Watch the kitchen. Qingxi and I are going to put on makeup for Qingyue."
Li Zilan handed two boiled red eggs to Su Qingxi and said, "Hurry up and let your sister eat them. I'll change Zhuangzhuang's clothes and come over."
Su Qingxi showed joy on her face. She peeled the egg and brought it to Su Qingyue. "Sister, eat the egg, or you will be hungry for a day."
"One is enough for me, you eat this one."
Su Qingxi couldn't win over her sister. She took the hot egg and ate it with tears streaming down her face. "Sister, you won't sleep with me anymore, wuuuu."
"Silly girl, why are you crying?" Su Qingyue's eyes became moist when she saw her sister crying. "I'm married so close to you. If you miss me, come and sleep with me anytime."
"Really?" The little girl sniffed and smiled innocently.
"Of course. When have I ever lied to you? Even if I get married, I'm still your sister. Pei Huaiye will be your brother-in-law in the future. We are all a family."
"Why are you all crying again?" Li Zilan brought Zhuangzhuang to the side room.
Su Qingyue rinsed her mouth and washed her face, then sat in front of the mirror, revealing a delicate and beautiful face. "Qingxi, little girl, is reluctant to let me get married."
Li Zilan combed Su Qingyue's hair and said, "Luckily we are close, otherwise Zhuangzhuang and I would have cried too."
Li Zilan combed her long black hair through a wooden comb, and her voice gradually choked up: "One comb to the end, two combs to the eyebrows, three combs to a large house with children and grandchildren."
This should have been something Su Qingyue's mother did, but her biological mother passed away and her adoptive mother did not come, so the only female elder in the family was her eldest sister-in-law.
Su Qingyue's eyes turned red, and she turned around and wiped her sister-in-law's tears with her handkerchief, "Sister-in-law, since I returned to the village, you have been taking care of all the big and small things at home. You have worked hard these days."
"Silly girl, what are you talking about? If Pei Huaiye dares to bully you in the future, your elder brother and sister-in-law will take care of him for you!"
Su Zhuangzhuang clenched his fist and shouted in a baby voice, following his mother's lead, "Take care of him!"
Su Qingyue chuckled, and Su Qingxi and Li Zilan also laughed so hard that their eyes were curved.
Su Qingyue was so beautiful that she just needed to put her hair up and put on some makeup, and the process was over quickly.
Su Qingyue's long hair was tied into an exquisite bun at the back of her head, like a peony bud about to bloom, noble yet graceful. A few strands of soft hair hung down at her temples to form a beautiful arc, adding a touch of charm.
Her skin was as white as cream, and she didn't wear any powder. She only drew her eyebrows dark, put on lipstick, and dotted a pink peach blossom between her eyebrows. After dressing up, she looked as beautiful as a flower fairy, and people couldn't take their eyes off her.
Su Zhuangzhuang stared at her with wide eyes, "Wow! Fairy aunt! I want a hug!"
Su Qingxi stopped him and said, "Silly Zhuangzhuang, you can't do this now. My aunt is getting married, and her wedding dress can't be wrinkled and her makeup can't be smudged."
Zhuangzhuang tilted his head, "What is marriage?"
"After getting married, I won't come back to live here." Su Qingxi sighed.
Su Qingyue looked at the two little guys with a doting smile, "We live so close, if you miss your aunt, you can come over anytime."
After the cheers outside the Su family’s courtyard became one after another, there was finally a knock on the door.
Su Mingqiang opened the door with a smile, and Su Qingwu arranged for the relatives to have breakfast.
Red boiled eggs, smooth and chewy hand-rolled noodles, without any coarse grains, a pot of egg and leek sauce, and a pot of pork and green onion sauce are placed on the table.
Yuan Guang and his brothers didn't hesitate to eat. They gulped down two bowls each, and Pei Huaiye ate three bowls.
After the meal, the betrothal gifts and dowry were loaded onto the cart. The large items were loaded and tied up in the ox cart, while the small items like enamel basins and thermoses were tied with big red flowers and hung on the bicycle for good looks and luck.
The Su family included two quilts, pots and pans, two cabinets, and a kitchen cabinet as a dowry. The cabinets and kitchen cabinets were all made of fine oak. Su Qingwu cut down the trees and shared two months' salary with Li Zilan to make up the dowry.
"Sister, it's time to go. The car has been loaded." After Su Qingxi reminded her, Su Qingyue lifted her skirt and walked out.
Su Qingyue made the wedding dress herself. It was tailored to her body and looked elegant and graceful.
Pei Huaiye held his breath the moment he saw Su Qingyue coming out. Her red wedding dress made her slender waist stand out, her skin was as white as snow, and her delicate face with makeup on was even brighter and more charming than usual.
He suppressed his violent heartbeat, walked towards her step by step, stretched out his big bony hand, and said in a low and hoarse voice: "Qingyue, I'm here to take you home."
Su Qingyue smiled shyly, her beautiful peach blossom eyes shining like stars. She placed her soft, white little hand in the reliable big palm, and it was held tightly.
The moment their hands were held, firecrackers popped!
Pei Huaiye bent down, picked up Su Qingyue and held her in his arms. When they walked out of the door, the villagers who were watching cheered and screamed again.
"Oh my God! I have never seen such a beautiful bride in my life!"
"She's so beautiful, just like a fairy. Pei Huaiye is so lucky!"
"The man is handsome and the woman is beautiful, what a perfect match!"
The brothers following behind Yuan Guang were all stunned. They didn't expect that Brother Pei's wife had such stunning beauty.
Pei Huaiye had a happy smile on his face. Su Qingyue sat on the back seat of the bicycle with her skirt lifted up, hugging Pei Huaiye's hard waist, and set off for the new house amid everyone's blessings and laughter.
