Bai Keyan hugged Xiao Jiahua's legs tightly. His bride was as thin as he expected. He did not use a cane, but slowly stood up and tilted his body so that the two of them would align their center of gravity and maintain balance.
He took each step more steadily and firmly than the last.
Xiao Jiahua leaned on his back and felt that from then on, he had found the most solid support in the world.
The comrades were guarding them on both sides, while Xiao Laoshuan and Cui Lifen turned their backs and secretly wiped away their tears.
All the folks present were moved. At the same time, they were also worried for Bai Keyan.
Now, the distance of ten meters from the wing room to the main entrance is not far. When Bai Keyan tremblingly pushed Xiao Jiahua into the wedding car, everyone felt relieved.
The wedding car was specially driven from the county by Captain Hao. It was a Hongqi sedan, the top domestic brand. It was truly cool and impressive, making others the envy of others.
Along the several-mile village road, there were people everywhere surrounding her and admiring her, but the bride had no intention of appreciating them.
The three nephews and nieces of the eldest brother and the neighbor's little granddaughter Yaya all got on the car and squeezed between Xiao Jiahua and Bai Keyan, euphemistically calling them "the children who hold down the sedan chair." It is said that the wedding car cannot be empty, for fear of being unlucky for the bride and groom.
As a result, Xiao Jiahua couldn't talk to Bai Keyan at all, and couldn't ask him about the condition of his leg injury.
When they arrived at Xiao's house, the bride could finally get out of bed. The night before, Bai Keyan found ten meters of red silk from somewhere, spread it on the ground as a carpet, and then moved into the bridal chamber.
The house had obviously been redecorated, and at this moment, it was filled with relatives and friends inside and outside. The sound of suona and red drum was so loud that it hurt Xiao Jiahua's eardrums.
She stared at the three inches of land under the veil, and was held by Bai Keyan's hand as she bowed three times in a daze.
Finally, she was surrounded by people and taken to the bridal chamber like a figurine.
Bai Keyan didn't let her wait too long. The next moment, he followed in and, under the guidance of the matchmaker, unveiled the bride's red veil.
With a rosy forehead, fair face, bright lips and rosy cheeks, she is a delicate beauty.
This is the most popular makeup aesthetic nowadays. It looks quite charming on Xiao Jiahua, who never wears any makeup.
Bai Keyan was a little dazed, "Xiaoxiao, you are really good at looking..."
His eyes were so focused that Xiao Jiahua's face turned even redder.
Bai Keyan looked no different from usual, except that he was wearing a brand new military uniform with a big red flower pinned on his chest. He stood there meticulously, and his temperament alone was invincible.
However, Xiao Jiahua was just under the veil, making small movements constantly. Now that she was without the veil, she was surrounded by the crowd, and her idol image stood up again. She couldn't stare at the handsome guy for too long.
She sat with her back straight and a half smile on her face, and was immediately praised as "dignified" and "ladylike" by her relatives, friends and elders.
Only then did Xiao Jiahua realize that there were quite a few guests attending the wedding today.
Needless to say, the elders and fellow villagers of 㰴 Village.
Several members of the town supply and marketing cooperative, including Yu Xiaolian and Zuo Xuejun, came, as did the directors and their spouses, Shi Fangzhu and Huang Xinping, of the town soap factory.
Even Qian Zhuzhu asked Mayor Liu to give her a generous gift.
In the county town, there was Tong Qifang from the National Cotton Mill, Director Hai and Xu Minqiang from the laundry factory, and the managers of the supply and marketing cooperative, including Lu Qinqin and Miao Xiaomiai...
Even the presidents of several remote supply and marketing cooperatives came!
The fact that everyone took time out on such a busy and important day as the 19th day of the twelfth lunar month to attend her wedding shows how much they value Xiao Jiahua.
However……
"Xiaoxiao, are you hungry?"
Bai Keyan's words broke her spell.
"Hungry! I'm almost starving!" She didn't eat a single bite from dawn to noon.
Grandma Guiqin, Aunt Wang, Mrs. Li and others all burst into laughter. The matchmaker laughed and shouted, "Quick, serve dumplings to the new bride. How can you have a wedding night if she's starving?"
Xiao Dabao and Xiao Shitou waited outside for a long time. When they heard the call, they immediately brought a plate of dumplings and presented it to Xiao Jiahua.
"Mom, you eat!" Little Shitou was really afraid that his old mother would starve.
"Dabao, Shitou, be good!"
Xiao Jiahua took a bite of the dumpling and found it sticky and hard. He immediately frowned and said, "It's raw!"
Xiao Dabao looked at it and was annoyed, "I told you it was raw, and you asked me to bring it to you!"
There was another round of laughter. The matchmaker deliberately said to Bai Keyan, "Son-in-law, did you hear that? The new bride said, 'born!'"
Xiao Jiahua: “…”
Sure enough, the longest journey at the wedding is no match for the matchmaker’s routine.
