Just when Ye Zhi couldn't help herself and was about to take a nap, someone outside the door shouted, "The groom is here!"
"Oh my, the groom is so handsome!"
Ye Zhi's sleepiness was immediately driven away, and she quickly straightened her back and sat up.
Immediately afterwards, the door of the room was pushed open, and Lu Wei's tall figure walked in surrounded by people. He immediately saw Ye Zhi sitting beside the bed.
The room was carefully decorated and many things were decorated with red paper.
Then someone said, "Come out and let the bride and groom have a chat."
Then the door was closed again.
Lu Wei looked at Ye Zhi quietly.
She was wearing a new dress with red floral patterns and a pure red skirt underneath, which made her skin look glowingly white.
Her two braids were tied with festive red flowers, her fair face was lightly painted with rouge, her lips were red and her teeth were white, which made her look very beautiful.
Lu Wei took a deep breath and said solemnly, as if he was saluting a soldier: "Comrade Ye Zhi, I'm here."
Ye Zhi raised her eyes and burst out laughing.
She looked at the big red flower on Lu Wei's chest, smiled sweetly, and jokingly said, "Comrade Lu, who prepared this big red flower for you?"
How could...
Such a big flower?
Ye Zhi couldn't help laughing.
Lu Wei's face flushed, and he quickly tore off the big red flower that had been forcibly hung on him during the chaos, and turned his face away: "It's because of the commotion."
Ye Zhi took out a medium-sized red flower that she had prepared long ago, and said with a sweet breath: "Come here, I'll put it on for you."
Lu Wei let out a long breath and then walked towards Ye Zhi.
It was only a short distance of a few steps, but Lu Wei felt that every second seemed like a year.
When he stood in front of Ye Zhi, Ye Zhi also stood up. There was a height difference between them, and Ye Zhi was only a little above his shoulder.
Lu Wei lowered his head and glanced at her, a smile showing on his face.
Ye Xiaoding was not lying, Ye Zhi looked really beautiful today.
Ye Zhi's fair fingers were holding a small red flower, and she opened a pin button on it. Then, she lightly buttoned it on his left chest, and the red flower was buttoned on his white military uniform.
Suddenly, a strange and sweet scent filled his nose, and Lu Wei knew that this was Ye Zhi's unique smell.
The beating of his heart grew faster and faster, and he shifted his gaze to a piece of red cloth on the bed curtain.
If it were the Lu Wei in the past, he would definitely think that this scene was too abrupt, but at this moment he inadvertently smiled and said, "Thank you."
Ye Zhi let go of her hand, then smiled and said, "No need to be polite between us."
It didn't quite match his uniform, but for this day.
He can only bear with it for a while.
Listening to Ye Zhi's cryptic words, Lu Wei felt a warm feeling in his heart.
Ye Zhi meant that they were already husband and wife and there was no need to be estranged from each other.
The two of them didn't stay in the room for too long and soon came out of the main room.
As soon as Ye Xiaoding saw Ye Zhi and Lu Wei, he said to Lu Wei's comrade: "Look, isn't my aunt particularly beautiful today?"
My comrade started to have toothache again. Ye Zhi is really beautiful.
They are a perfect match standing together with Lu Wei.
This child marriage can be considered a blessing in disguise.
Although Ye Zhi didn't mean to hold a banquet, there were more than a dozen people in the Ye family, so today was quite lively.
Ye Zhi introduced everyone in her family to Lu Wei, even the group of chattering children.
Lu Wei has a good memory, and he doesn't get confused even when he has to remember more than a dozen people at once.
Even children.
In the end, Ye Zhi discovered that Ye Xiaoding had disappeared. She looked around but couldn't even see his shadow.
In the end, he slipped out by himself, "Aunt, are you looking for me?"
Ye Zhi smiled at him: "Your sisters said you ran out early in the morning, where did you go?"
Ye Xiaoding laughed and told her about how he had kicked Li Ermei's shoes and kettle under the tree just now.
Ye Zhi immediately gave him an approving expression: "Well done!"
She is an adult, but a junior. Even if she is angry, she can't fight with Li Ermei, otherwise she will be criticized by people in the town.
Ye Xiaoding finally vented her anger.
It can be said that my love for this child was not in vain.
Ye Xiaoding's eyes lit up, "Aunt, grandma knew about this and beat me up. My butt is still hurting. But you and uncle both praised me for doing the right thing!"
Ye Zhi chuckled: "Did your uncle see it? And he praised you for doing a good job?"
It's a bit hard to imagine.
Ye Xiaoding raised his chin slightly and hummed proudly: "Yes! And you said that I bravely protected you."
Ye Zhi looked at Ye Xiaoding's cute and playful appearance, and she felt reluctant to part with this child.
This child is really close to her. Every time he picks wild fruits, the first thing he does is bring them home for her to eat.
Sometimes even the shower water was heated by Ye Xiaoding for her.
Ye Zhi knew that the child was good to her, so she used the bonus she received from the anniversary celebration to buy him some candy and picture books.
However, Ye Xiaoding was not a child who ate alone. He shared the candy with his brothers and sisters, and read picture books with them.
I just don’t know what Ye Xiaoding will do after she goes to the island?
Ye Zhi thought about it and still couldn't abandon the child.
Ye Xiaoding's mother has abandoned him.
She can be said to be Ye Xiaoding's second mother. If she abandons him again, he will definitely suffer from psychological trauma in the future, and might even repeat the tragedy in the book and be abducted.
As they haven’t gone to the island yet, Ye Zhi feels there is still room for turning back.
If Lu Wei agrees, then take Ye Xiaoding to Qiongzhou Island.
If you don't agree, Lu Wei can place them wherever he wants!
Thinking so, Ye Zhi went to find her parents and told them about it.
Ye Zhi spent time from noon until after dinner, and then until she packed her luggage, before she finally convinced the two old people.
Father Ye and Zhang Xiaomei agreed: "If Lu Wei agrees, then take Xiao Ding with you. This child has been close to you since he was young."
Ye Zhi was so happy that she went straight to Ye Xiaoding and asked him to pack his luggage quickly.
But who would have known that when she asked Ye Xiaoding, the child refused outright: "I don't want to go!" After that, he ran out.
But soon he was caught by several men who were drinking outside.
Brother Ye pointed at Ye Xiaoding and scolded him, "Didn't I tell you kids not to run outside after dark? There are streams everywhere outside. What if you fall in?"
Ye Xiaoding was scolded. Her eyes were red but she said nothing and bit her lips tightly.
Ye Zhi walked over and hugged the skinny boy tightly, but she couldn't bear to scold him: "Why don't you go?"
"stupid!"
"What's stupid?"
"My mother doesn't want me anymore after she got married. You are my aunt, and you still bring me, a burden, with you when you get married. You are stupid!" After Ye Xiaoding said this, he suddenly burst into tears.
They didn't know how long it had been since they saw Ye Xiaoding cry.
He never cries even if he is beaten or scolded. He is very tough.
Over the years, everyone deliberately avoided mentioning Ye Xiaoding's heartless mother, for fear that the child would be unhappy if he knew.
Who knew, this kid is so smart.
His mother got married after receiving half of the pension and later had several children. How could she care about Ye Xiaoding?
This crying made several women in the family unable to hold back their tears, but they did not dare to cry loudly. They leaned on their men's shoulders and wiped their tears secretly.
Ye Zhi felt sorry for the child who had no parents, and wanted to take the child to the island.
Don’t the children feel sorry for her?
Knowing that she is married, she will be looked down upon if she has a child.
At this moment, Ye Zhi was surrounded by a figure. She felt a familiar yet unfamiliar breath. She turned her head and saw Lu Wei standing beside her.
He gave her a look, telling her not to worry.
Lu Weiyi glanced coldly at Ye Xiaoding in Ye Zhi's arms, stretched out his arm to pull him out of Ye Zhi's arms, and stood face to face with him.
Lu Wei's tall figure gave people an invisible sense of oppression, especially when he stood in front of the thin Ye Xiaoding, it was like a mountain lying in front of him.
Lu Wei asked calmly, "Ye Xiaoding, do you know what it's like when a typhoon passes through?"
Ye Xiaoding looked at Lu Wei blankly and did not answer.
Lu Wei asked again: "Have you ever heard the sound of wind blowing like ghosts crying and wolves howling?"
Ye Xiaoding didn't understand, but nodded to indicate that he had heard of it.
Lu Wei met his clear eyes and asked, "The sound of the wind and waves on the island is more terrifying than the howling of ghosts and wolves. If you were left alone in a dark room, would you be afraid?"
Ye Xiaoding's thin body trembled noticeably, but he gritted his teeth and shook his head: "I'm not afraid!"
Lu Wei: "You're not afraid, so do you think your aunt would be afraid if she were alone?"
After these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.
Is the island so scary?
If it is so scary, then I really need to bring someone to keep me company. Otherwise, what will Ye Zhi do?
Lu Wei is a soldier. If he is on a mission like now, he will be away for ten days or so. How can Ye Zhi handle it alone?
When everyone was in a panic, only Ye Zhi looked at Lu Wei calmly, with no expression on her face, but her eyes inadvertently revealed an inexplicable feeling of emotion.
Ye Xiaoding's expression froze, the tears on her face had stopped long ago, leaving behind a few clearly visible tear marks.
Of course his aunt would be afraid, even of thunder.
When there is thunder, you have to sleep next to others.
Lu Wei snorted at last: "Do you think that we asked you to go to Qiongzhou Island with us just to take care of you? You are already a man, you should stand up bravely to protect your aunt like you did today against those who slandered your aunt. Instead of asking us to take care of you, understand?"
Ye Xiaoding's small body couldn't help but tremble at Lu Wei's words, but his eyes didn't avoid him at all.
"I'm asking you one last time, are you going?"
Ye Xiaoding gritted his teeth and nodded: "Go! I want to protect my aunt!"
Ye Zhi heard Ye Xiaoding's answer, and then heaved a sigh of relief and patted his head: "Comrade Ye Xiaoding, then you should pack your luggage quickly and don't delay our trip."
Some people are soft-hearted and don't respond to tough measures, but Ye Xiaoding is determined to use tough measures!
Ye Xiaoding immediately shouted "Yes" and ran towards the room.
Ye Zhi heaved a sigh of relief and subconsciously moved closer to Lu Wei, as if he was a harbor where she could feel extremely safe. Then she raised her fingers and touched the back of his hand.
The next second, Lu Wei calmly held her hand tightly.
The two looked at each other, and Ye Zhi whispered, "Lu Wei, thank you."
Not only did he convince Ye Xiaoding, he also agreed to take him to Qiongzhou Island.
Lu Wei pinched her soft and delicate fingers and said, "Didn't you say that today?"
"You're welcome between us."
That night, Ye Zhi chatted with her mother and her elder and second sisters-in-law all night long.
At dawn the next day, her mother took out a passbook while her eldest and second sisters-in-law went to the kitchen to cook and stuffed it into her hand: "This is the third child's pension. Half of it will be given to Xiao Ding's mother. The other half is here. Take it. You are not allowed to refuse it."
Zhang Xiaomei had given her a thick stack of money last night, saying it was her dowry.
Although it’s not much, it has been saved for her over the years.
She was very grateful for her parents' kindness.
Zhang Xiaomei wiped the tears off Ye Zhi's face and said, "Remember what mom said, when you take the bus to the station, don't look back, understand?"
Ye Zhi nodded and looked at the increasingly bright sky outside, knowing that it was really time to leave.
"Mother, I will write to you."
"good."
Everyone from the Ye family stood at the intersection to say goodbye to them. The rising sun shone on the earth, casting long shadows.
The jeep carrying Ye Zhi, Lu Wei, and a little kid named Ye Xiaoding headed to the county train station.
When they arrived at the train station, Lu Wei went to the window to buy a children's ticket.
While waiting for the train, Lu Wei suddenly said, "We will take the train to Yangcheng first, and then take the ship back to Qiongzhou Island from Yangcheng."
Ye Zhi nodded: "Yes, I understand."
Lu Wei hesitated for a while, then said: "My mother is in the Yangcheng Military Region Hospital. I will take you to see her then?"
Seeing Lu Weiyi's embarrassed expression, Ye Zhi smiled and said jokingly, "An ugly woman must meet the father-in-law eventually. Now that you are here, you should meet him."
Lu Wei responded: "Not ugly."
The waiting room was crowded with people. Ye Zhi didn't hear what Lu Wei said clearly, "What?"
Lu Wei smiled and shook his head, saying, "You can check your tickets and get on the bus now. Let's go."
Ye Xiaoding pulled his luggage behind him and shouted excitedly: "Okay, I'm going to take the train!!!"
