People nowadays are not very active in getting marriage certificates, and getting divorced is even rarer.
The clerk at the village marriage registration office was so bored that he was reading newspapers and roasting potatoes in the office.
Meng Sheng and Feng Yijia took a handful of wedding candy and went in. Within two minutes, they got the bright red marriage certificate.
Meng Sheng walked out of the office with a silly smile, feeling that the whole thing was a little unreal.
Holding the newly issued marriage certificate in his hand, he asked Feng Yijia beside him: "Are we really married?"
Feng Yijia looked at the man's silly look, and felt inexplicably relieved, but said with disdain: "Fake!"
Hearing this, Meng Sheng pinched himself, hissed in pain, and continued to grin: "It's not fake, it's real!
I have a wife!
I have a wife!"
At the end of the speech, the voice became louder unconsciously.
His silly look attracted the attention of passers-by.
Feng Yijia covered his face with his hands and walked forward, not wanting to embarrass himself here.
After his wife left, Meng Sheng came back to his senses and hurriedly followed her.
The two of them quickly rode their bikes back to the village.
On the rugged mountain road, in the cold wind, two people riding one in front and one behind faced the biting cold wind, but their faces were filled with involuntary smiles.
*
When the bicycle was still dozens of meters away from home, the sound of firecrackers began to explode, and red confetti covered the yellow soil in front of Meng's house.
The children ran and jumped and shouted, "Here comes the bride! Here comes the bride!"
On behalf of Feng Yi's family, Xu Xiuping brought out a basket of peanuts, candies and pennies and threw them on the road, hoping that the newlyweds would have a sweet and prosperous life in the future.
When Feng Yijia and Meng Sheng stopped their bicycles and walked past, the children happily rushed over and ran to pick up the trash.
Chen Hongxing and Meng Chenglin were already waiting at the gate.
Feng Yijia followed Meng Sheng, stepping on the red firecracker debris and walking towards the two people in the faint smell of gunpowder.
They all shouted, "Dad, Mom!"
Chen Hongxing looked at her son, whose brows were beaming with joy, and her daughter-in-law, whose face was blushing with shyness, and she happily responded repeatedly, "Hey! Hey!"
After he finished speaking, he reached into his pocket and took out two red envelopes that he had prepared earlier and handed one to each of them.
Meng Chenglin's original dissatisfaction with Feng Yijia was completely resolved during the period after the engagement, when he used up his self-persuasion strategy.
Since his opposition and displeasure are useless, I can only try to agree with him.
What else can we do?
Can he still deny his wife and children, or oppose like a woman by crying, making a fuss, and even threatening to commit suicide?
As a man, he couldn't afford to embarrass that person, nor could he bear to do that.
As for the opinions and looks of other people outside, things have already happened. I am like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water. I will just pretend that I can't see or hear anything and just live my life well.
When your mindset changes, your attitude will naturally change.
At this time, he was also smiling at Feng Yijia. Like his wife, he took out two red envelopes and handed them to the two of them. He also said sincerely: "Live a good life in the future!"
Meng Sheng and Feng Yijia took it together and said, "Got it, thank you, Dad!"
When a new bride is brought home, there is no longer the custom of taking an oath in front of the statue of a great man, but according to the rules, the elders in the family must say a few words of blessing to the newlyweds.
However, Meng Sheng's grandparents had stated in advance that they would not lose this person, so this step was skipped. Meng Sheng directly led Feng Yijia into the new house under the gazes of a group of people with different expressions.
Anyway, when the two of them got married, for many reasons, many things didn't go according to the rules, and this one was no exception.
As soon as the newlyweds entered the house, someone in the yard shouted in a drawn-out voice, "Let's feast!"
The dishes that had been prepared in the kitchen long ago came out one after another as everyone was looking forward to it.
The banquets served were more sumptuous than anything the villagers had enjoyed in decades. Regardless of the couple's heavy debts or the bride's past experiences, they were all forgotten by the people who had not yet completely solved the problem of food and clothing.
At this moment, all people could see were plates and bowls of meat that were shiny and exuding an enticing aroma.
Outside, hundreds of people were eating and drinking, and the place was bustling with noise. But in the new house just across the wall, Feng Yijia felt that the surroundings were too quiet.
The moment the man opposite closed the door after seeing his parents off, the look in his eyes changed when he looked at him.
It becomes dangerous and hot, yet also a little inexplicably tempting.
It made her heart beat faster and faster.
The pounding sound of her heartbeat seemed to drown out all the noisy sounds outside and reached her ears clearly, making her cheeks and neck involuntarily hot and red.
The woman is very shy, and is as lovable as the peach blossoms blooming in early spring.
Seeing this, Meng Sheng's heart softened. He took a few steps forward and hugged the person in his arms, carefully holding her as if she were a fragile treasure.
She asked in a gentle voice, "Are you tired?
Are you hungry?
The slightly hot cheeks pressed against the clothes that were a bit chilly in winter, but instead of cooling down, they became even hotter.
Feng Yijia would never admit that he was overthinking it. He calmed himself down and said as he pushed the person away, "There are people everywhere outside. Please pack up and get out quickly."
If you delay for too long, you don’t know what others will think.
Meng Sheng also understood her unfinished intention, and reluctantly let go of her hand, saying, "You stay in the room, I'll bring you food later."
During the period of transition from the old to the new, some brides would toast with the guests at their wedding, while others would hide in their new homes according to old customs and not go out.
Meng Sheng didn't want the wife he had finally married to smile at some people with bad intentions. Besides, there were not many relationships worth maintaining, so he simply left her in the house to hide in the peace.
I was reluctant to leave and quickly went to the busy kitchen. I picked up some of each item, put them on a tray, and carried them to the new house.
Afraid that she would feel lonely eating alone, he called Xu Xiuping into the new house to have dinner with her.
After everything was arranged, he went out to each table to toast the guests.
Seeing Meng Sheng's meticulousness and thoughtfulness, Xu Xiuping said to Feng Yijia with satisfaction, "Sheng is treating you well. Now that you have him taking care of you, we won't be so worried!"
Feng Yijia only thought Meng Sheng was behaving well at the moment, but she still didn't have the guts to praise him. Upon hearing this, she couldn't find a word to praise Meng Sheng. She just smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, auntie. I will definitely get better and better in the future!"
Xu Xiuping believed this. Outside, she had a husband who treated her like a treasure, and inside the house, there was a pile of tiger bones being processed that could be exchanged for a large sum of money.
As long as you don't do these things, it will be hard to have a bad life.
