After all, Mo Xiaobao is his own son. No matter how much Old Man Mo dislikes or hates him, it is understandable that this man has his blood in him.
Of course, given Old Man Mo's stingy character, he certainly didn't want Mo Xiaobao and Pei Shaorong to be so poor that they couldn't afford food and had to beg for food from his family.
Holding Mo Xiaobao's hand, who was staring at him with a touched and incredible expression, Old Man Mo put his little brother's hand into Pei Shaorong's.
"Pei family man, I'm handing this little brother over to you. Xiaobao has a hot temper and is always causing trouble, so please be patient. If you have any problems, just solve them at home. Don't come to my house and ask me to judge for you..."
Old Man Mo is like this. Sometimes he speaks and acts according to the situation. He is now in a hurry to marry Mo Xiaobao off.
Hearing this, Mo Xiaobao next to him started to get angry again. The feeling of being touched by his father giving him grain seeds just now was gone. Other people's parents always praised their children when they went outside, but his father was different. He exposed his shortcomings everywhere he went!
He had thought about changing his temper and becoming a virtuous and gentle wife, but it was over. After his father revealed his true feelings, in Brother Pei's mind, his image would definitely remain the same as when they first met. There was no way to change it, wuwu...
"I understand, uncle..."
After hearing what Old Man Mo said, Pei Shaorong didn't take it to heart. He just liked A Bao's impetuous, bold and stubborn temper. No matter how big the trouble was, he would let his wife take the blame!
Looking at the angry Mo Xiaobao, Pei Shaorong quickly reached out and carried him onto the donkey, then whispered into Mo Xiaobao's ear, "I like Bao no matter what you look like..." Immediately, Mo Xiaobao smiled sweetly.
This made Old Man Mo next to him feel extremely depressed. Every other girl and boy cried and was reluctant to leave when they got married. Even the eldest daughter was like that at the beginning.
Why is it that when I get to Mo Xiaobao, I feel like, oh my god, I'm finally leaving home, I'm finally getting married, I'm so happy, and I don't feel sad about leaving home and getting married at all?
Hey, this has to be pretended, Father Mo is a little sad...
After being depressed for a while, Old Man Mo felt relieved. It was because Pei Shaorong came with a donkey to pick up the bride today, which not only made Mo Xiaobao proud, but also made him, as a father, proud.
Over the years, Mo Xiaobao has been gossiped about by the villagers, and his father has also been the target of a lot of gossip. Now, Father Mo suddenly feels proud.
Look, look, you said that my little brother couldn't find a good family and that I was pushing him into the fire. But now my little brother is not only married, but he is also wearing a bright red wedding dress and riding a donkey to get married. Isn't it glorious? You must be envious. I'm jealous of you to death, huh!
The arrogant and proud father Mo completely forgot that he was planning to buy red cloth for Mo Xiaobao's wedding dress...
According to the customs of Linjiang Village, the banquets for the two families of the newlyweds are actually separate, but Father Mo is reluctant to do so and he can't afford the money to hold the banquet now.
Pei Shaorong is a single man with few friends and relatives, so today's wedding banquet was held together by the two families at Pei Shaorong's home.
Mo Xiaobao's sister and brother-in-law Pei Shaorong didn't see it. He heard that his brother-in-law Sun Yaocai had to study hard for the exam and couldn't be delayed. Mo Lanzhu had to take care of her husband and couldn't leave, so she sent a basket of sweet potatoes as a gift.
Pei Shaorong didn't say anything about this, but he was a little unhappy in his heart. It's not that he thinks a basket of sweet potatoes is too small a gift. Most of the gifts here are like this because people are poor. He doesn't care about that little thing. The gift is small but the sentiment is great. Gifts in the village are very practical.
But Mo Xiaobao and Mo Lanzhu are siblings, born from the same mother. She didn’t even come back to see her brother’s marriage, such a big event. What was she thinking? Linjiang Village is only one or two hours away from the next village...
Mo Xiaobao was also very sad and disappointed about this. In fact, his sister was very good to him when he was a child and gave him all the good things.
But ever since my sister fell seriously ill when she was thirteen, she seemed to be possessed and talked nonsense for a while. Her personality changed drastically and she no longer showed him the same intimacy and concern as before...
Mo Lanzhu did not come back to attend her brother's wedding. Mo Xiaobao was disappointed and Pei Shaorong was also unhappy.
When Pei Shaorong finally met the legendary Mo Lanzhu, he finally understood what it meant that enemies always meet...
On the way back from the wedding, the villagers from the entire village gathered around to watch the fun, staring at the red wedding dresses and the donkey, and talking about the couple.
Before, everyone thought that he was poor and would probably just give everyone some wedding cakes and candies when he got married. Unexpectedly, Pei Shaorong also prepared wine and hired a donkey to welcome the bride.
Such a wedding was not considered very good in Pei Shaorong's opinion, as he felt that Mo Xiaobao was being wronged. However, in the eyes of the villagers, it was considered quite glorious. Many girls and boys stared at Mo Xiaobao's wedding dress and the donkey he rode with envy in their hearts.
Let’s not talk about whether Pei Shaorong is poor or not, or whether his family has land. Just the fact that he looks better than most men in the village, young girls and boys look at a man’s appearance first!
The aunties and grandmas in the village looked down on him, but the girls and boys still thought he was good in private. Now seeing the clothes and donkey on Mo Xiaobao, they were extremely envious.
Getting married only happens once in a lifetime, so who would want to go through the shabby process of wearing a red jacket and walking to their husband's house? Of course, everyone hopes for a grand wedding.
Among them is Liu Meihua, who had competed with Mo Xiaobao for a man. Now the daughter-in-law of the Wang family is the most envious and jealous. Her marriage with Wang Afu was not so glorious.
Not to mention the red wedding dress and the donkey, because so many things happened, and she was the husband snatched from Mo Xiaobao, and the Wang family was not rich. The wedding dress she wore when she got married was the flowered cloth dress that Wang Afu's mother had worn.
That dress has become a treasure over the years. Wang Afu's mother still wears it every time she visits relatives. You can imagine how old it is. Liu Meihua's family is also poor. No matter how unwilling she is, she has to wear that old dress when she gets married.
The life after marriage was not as good as she had imagined. The Wang family was poor, and Wang Afu loved her before marriage, and he enjoyed the excitement of having sex with her behind Mo Xiaobao's back.
The feeling of freshness and excitement was gone after getting married. Liu Meihua was not the best-looking, so he didn't care about her anymore after a long time. Conflicts also arose in the relationship between husband and wife, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and so on. She was not happy with her life.
Now seeing that Mo Xiaobao's marriage was much more glorious than hers, Liu Meihua felt jealous, envious and sour, and felt extremely uncomfortable.
"Humph, what are you so proud of? You are so glorious today, but if you marry a man who doesn't even have a farm, you will have to starve tomorrow!"
Most people around rolled their eyes when they heard her words. They gossiped about Mo Xiaobao, but they looked down on Liu Meihua for stealing someone else's man. They were just saying the grapes were sour!
Mo Xiaobao also heard it while riding on his donkey. The people he hated most in his life were not his old man Mo who always despised him and pushed him into the fire pit, but Liu Meihua and Wang Afu.
Others may not know, but he, the person involved, knows it very well. When he fell into the lake with Liu Meihua, it was this woman who deliberately tore off his clothes, leaving him half naked in front of the whole village. How could he bear to be pointed at and ignored for so many years!
He was feeling angry towards Liu Meihua when he suddenly felt someone holding his hand. Mo Xiaobao turned his head and saw Pei Shaorong holding his hand and smiling at him. All of a sudden, the worries in his heart disappeared.
While smiling, Pei Shaorong reached out to smooth his hair on his forehead, and asked in a gentle voice, "Are you tired?"
"Not tired..." Mo Xiaobao blushed and looked around at the villagers who were talking about his joke, then lowered his head in embarrassment. What's tiring about riding a donkey? It's comfortable!
It was said long ago that Linjiang Village was not big. Pei Shaorong quickly took Mo Xiaobao home by leading the donkey. Under the auspices of the village chief, Old Man Mo and Old Lady Mo sat on the altar and began the ceremony.
"Bow to Heaven and Earth——"
"Bow to your parents twice—"
"The couple bows to each other—"
"The ceremony is over!"
After worshipping heaven and earth amid the solemn voice of the village chief and the noisy cheers of the villagers, Mo Xiaobao was sent back to the bridal chamber by Aunt Mo and Aunt Qin, as well as the girls, boys and aunts who came to watch the fun, while Pei Shaorong stayed behind to entertain the guests.
In the eyes of the villagers, Pei Shaorong had really spent a lot of money on this wedding. There were four tables in total, and on each table was a pot of sauerkraut stewed with meat and vermicelli, a pot of roasted pork with chestnuts, a few plates of stir-fried or cold vegetarian dishes, and a large plate of steamed bread mixed with white flour.
Without Pei Shaorong's invitation, everyone took their own bowls and chopsticks to the table and started eating. Those who didn't have a seat could squat on the steps nearby to eat. They ate and chatted at the same time without slowing down their eating speed.
"Tsk tsk, I think Brother Pei really likes the young man from the Mo family. Look at the wedding dress and the donkey today, and the food we are eating now. Brother Pei must think very highly of A Bao!"
Everyone was talking as they ate. In the countryside, people judged whether a man was good or not by whether he spent money on his wife. The same was true in modern times.
No matter whether the men of the Pei family are poor or not, judging from the grand ceremony of their wedding today, they are at least men who know how to love their wives.
And with his honest and simple look and his tall and strong physique, he should move around more in the future. Who knows, he might be able to find someone to help him when he is short of energy during the busy farming season!
The villagers ate happily, and many men in the village even pulled Pei Shaorong over to drink with them as brothers. The meal invisibly brought Pei Shaorong closer to Linjiang Village.
It has been said since ancient times that relationships are built by discussing matters over wine and dinner tables, and this is really true!
