The next day, Chen Sanni got up very early as expected. She woke up at dawn at around 5 o'clock.
It is generally difficult to oversleep when you have something on your mind, because you will subconsciously agree with your body: I have something to do tomorrow, so you must not sleep past a certain time!
The body will naturally receive the signal and wake itself up when the time is almost up.
Chen Sanni was stunned for a moment. No one in the family made any noise. She quietly got up and put on the new clothes she had prepared the day before, then fetched water to brush her teeth and wash her face.
I braided my hair into two braids. Just as I finished one, the people at home woke up one after another.
Aunt Chen was busy in the kitchen, yawning. "Everyone, wake up and wash up. Otherwise, if guests come and see us still awake, we'll be laughed at!"
Everyone has their own work to do, and no one should be idle.
The whole family got busy.
Around seven o'clock, the aunts who came to cry at the wedding were in Chen Sanni's room. They held her hands and told her about the difficulties at home. Their tearful words made Chen Sanni cry.
She had clearly made up her mind yesterday not to cry, but when the aunts brought up some of the things about raising her, and thinking about how difficult it was for Aunt Chen, it was hard for her to hold back her tears.
Fortunately, this is a process, and the aunts would not let her go out with her eyes swollen from crying.
They stopped talking at the right time, comforted each other, and said some auspicious words about looking forward to good days in the future, which successfully stopped Chen Sanni's tears.
I brought some water for washing my face to Meimei, and asked Chen Sanni to wash her face and apply some cream to moisturize her skin.
The bride's eyes are slightly red after crying, and she has a kind of watery beauty. Maybe this is the purpose of crying at the wedding.
Chen Sanni stuffed a red envelope into Xiang Meimei's hand. The process of getting water to wash the face was also discussed, and the two of them understood it tacitly.
After going through all this process, everyone was hungry. Aunt Chen had already prepared breakfast, which was egg tea with plenty of rock sugar.
Those who came today are real relatives, so it is only right to treat them to egg tea.
The men ate quickly and finished in no time. Without waiting for Chen Ma to call them, they put down their chopsticks and went to Chen Sanni's room to discuss moving the dowry.
While eating cakes, Chen Sanni reminded them: "Uncle, uncle, cousins, the one with the "囍" character is the dowry, the others are not."
With this explanation, everyone will understand.
The items in the room with the word "囍" pasted on them included: the bed, the cabinet, the table, six large boxes, and some miscellaneous items such as washbasin racks and buckets.
The family was large and the adult uncles and aunts moved the large items, while the younger cousins moved the smaller items. Chen Sanni took them all away in one trip.
Aunt Chen stuffed red envelopes into each of their pockets at the door.
Some people refused embarrassedly, but were retorted by Chen's mother on the grounds that they were just trying to share in the good fortune.
When the dowry was almost moved, Mingsen's wedding party arrived. He was wearing a military green suit, riding a bicycle, and his face was full of joy.
Mingsen parked the car, went up to Chen's house to meet the aunts, greeted them and distributed wedding candies, then stared at Chen Sanni, who looked particularly beautiful today.
Everyone knew that he was eager to win the beauty, so they smiled and expressed their understanding.
Chen Wei carried Chen Sanni on his back and was about to go out. Mingsen, as her husband, helped to protect her from behind.
After carrying her to the back of the bicycle in one breath, Chen Weicai said to Mingsen with a complicated expression: "I'm leaving my sister in your care. If you treat her badly, I'll beat you up!"
Despite being told such harsh words, Mingsen smiled happily. He patted his brother-in-law on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Dawei. I will definitely let your sister live a good life with me."
He is not afraid that Chen Wei cares, he is afraid that Chen Wei doesn't care!
He married a wife just to take advantage of his brother-in-law's influence. If his wife is not valued, what influence does he have?
Mingsen rode his bicycle triumphantly and took his bride home.
Chen Wei, who followed behind all the way, carried a bench, with a sullen expression and remained silent.
Although Chen Wei and Chen Sanni have had a bad relationship since childhood, they have been fighting for nearly twenty years. Compared with this new brother-in-law, Chen Wei still sides with his sister.
After all, we are family.
It is also a custom for the elder brother or younger brother to carry a stool and follow behind the bride, which is meant to intimidate the bride to be nice to her, otherwise her family members will come and beat him up.
Mingsen rode slowly, and when he arrived at Ming's house, Chen Wei turned around at the last corner.
The newlyweds entered the bridal chamber surrounded by people.
In the bridal chamber, the uncles and aunts who had come earlier had already put away all the dowries and made the bed.
The bed is made by the man's fully-fledged elders, who require that the parents-in-law and parents are all present, the relationship between the husband and wife is harmonious, and there are children.
The woman will put some auspicious things such as dried longan, red dates, peanuts, etc. in the bed, and will also hide a few small red envelopes. If the elders of Quanfu find them, the money will belong to them.
Little boys and girls around 6 years old will also be asked to roll a few times, which means the newlyweds will have both a son and a daughter.
The man's side had to wait for the girl's parents to come before they could start eating. Fortunately, it was only ten o'clock, so it was still early to leave.
The bride Chen Sanni sat on the bed with a forced smile.
The Ming family has four brothers and one sister. The family has a large population and their living environment is worse than that of the Chen family. Today is their wedding and they have one room each, so the fourth brother of the Ming family and his sister have to squeeze into one room.
But it is not a long-term solution. The fourth child is getting married next year. The mother-in-law just told Chen Sanni secretly that she will have to rent a house in a month and this room will be for the fourth child to get married.
Chen Sanni would definitely like to live separately, but she would definitely be unhappy with what her mother-in-law said.
But she still had a gentle smile on her face. If she made a scene, everyone would be embarrassed and could only endure it.
Everyone gathered in the bride's room to praise her, eat wedding candy and melon seeds and chat about family matters. Mingsen reminded Chen Sanni to call for help.
He calls everyone relative first, and then Chen Sanni follows suit.
Close relatives, such as the elder and second sisters-in-law, aunts and uncles, would also give Chen Sanni red envelopes.
