Chapter 132 Chapter 132 The wedding reception is lively.
As for the fact that in the eyes of the little kids, he was a generation younger than his wife, Wen Zhan naturally had the same opinion as Mu Mian. He didn't have any thoughts and didn't try to correct it.
The main point is that it doesn’t matter what others say, as the wife is his and nothing else matters.
Wen Zhan didn't stay on the roadside for too long. After about two or three minutes, the shuttle bus arrived.
Mu Mian and the others took a bus to the east, while Wen Zhen rode his bike to the commune in the west. There was a carpenter with very good skills there, and anyone in the residential compound who wanted to get tables, chairs, benches, etc. would go there.
There are a lot of people on the bus on Sundays, and everyone is squeezed in. The smell is not that pleasant. These days, the buses in every place are similar, and people bring anything on the bus.
Fortunately, we didn’t have to squeeze for long and arrived in 20 minutes. That’s the good thing about being close, it’s very fast.
The bus station is very busy on Sundays.
Although Ningzhang City is not the provincial capital, its population and land area are among the top three in the province, and it has developed quite well.
There is a department store in the city center. It is of course incomparable to the ones in the capital, but the goods are quite complete and people usually go there to buy things.
The watch repair place is also inside the department store, which is just on the way, so five of us decided to take the bus from here to the department store.
Fan Qingshu hadn't been to the city for a while. The little girl was very excited and pulled Mu Mian to leave quickly.
Ge Xiuqing gave him a warning look, "If you keep running around, I won't bring you here next time."
The little girl pouted, "I didn't run around!"
Liu Shuangcui smiled and said, "All kids are like this. Mian Ya was the same when she was little. She always ran to the front and we would follow her before she squeezed in to buy everything."
Ge Xiuqing: "Ours is like having needles on the soles of our feet. When we come out, we look around."
The three of them were chatting idly in the back.
Ge Xiuqing had previously asked her daughter and son to call Mu Mian Auntie, but when it was her turn, she also insisted on having her own opinions.
Nie Sihui called her Sister Xiuqing, and she called Liu Shuangcui Sister Liu.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are of the same generation.
Mu Mian and Fan Qingshu walked in front, three or four steps ahead of them.
The little girl sat next to Mu Mian, chattering away, saying that she had brought some pocket money with her, and her mother had agreed to go to the bookstore to have a look.
Fifth grade is the age when children like extracurricular stories. Although Fan Qingshu's grades are not outstanding, she does read comic books.
Quite a few.
Mu Mian had never seen some of the things the little girl mentioned, which was normal because the distances were too far and there must be differences between the popular things in the north and south.
We chatted all the way and soon arrived at the department store.
After entering, Mu Mian and the other two separated from Fan Qingshu and her daughter.
The layout of department stores in various places is similar. The first floor sells daily necessities. Nie Sihui and Liu Shuangcui, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, are weighing sugar there, while Mu Mian goes straight to the upstairs where electric fans are sold.
Electric fans are practical and sell quite well. After all, they are not that expensive, costing only a few dozen yuan, which is much cheaper than watches.
When Mu Mian arrived, there were only two cameras left at the counter. She picked one she liked and then went to the camera section. This time she took a little longer to choose.
When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came up with bags to look for someone, Mu Mian was paying.
Liu Shuangcui took a look and asked, "What does it look like?"
Mu Mian showed it to her mother and sister-in-law, "It's the same brand as the one Third Brother Wen has."
In fact, there are only a few brands.
The electric fan and the camera cost more than 200 yuan. Although it seemed like a lot, Mu Mian didn't feel too bad about it.
She and her fourth brother are now millionaires! rich! !
After buying things, it was still early and there was nothing important to do today, so Mu Mian also wanted to go to the bookstore.
Mu Mian and the other two found Ge Xiuqing and her daughter on the first floor. Fan Qingshu's father's watch had not been repaired yet. There were quite a lot of people coming to repair watches today, and the master was very busy.
Ge Xiuqing was worried about leaving the watch here, and Liu Shuangcui had no interest in the bookstore, so in the end it was naturally Mu Mian and her sister-in-law who took Fan Qingshu there.
The largest bookstore in the city was not far from the department store. The little girl was obviously very familiar with the place and went straight to the comic book section when she arrived.
The 1970s and 1980s were the time when comic strips were very popular.
There were quite a few kids in their teens reading books here. Mu Mian also picked up a few books he hadn't read yet. The two adults and one child spent quite a while in the bookstore. When they returned to the department store, Ge Xiuqing was almost done.
The bus back was very punctual. Everyone had bags, especially Mu Mian and her friends. After this trip, they had prepared most of the things needed for the wedding banquet.
The days in late August passed quickly.
Mu Mian and the three elders gradually became familiar with the life in the family compound. Comrade Mu Fugui was leisurely every day, and together with Grandpa You, they would go to the mountains or rivers on the other side of the commune from time to time.
The mountains nearby are very low and you can reach the top by just walking. The resources in the mountains are not as abundant as those in their brigade, but there are still many wild fruits and mushrooms. Comrade Mu Fugui often transforms himself into an old man picking mushrooms.
Grandpa You also came from the countryside. The two of them would occasionally go to the fields to tinker with them. The base had cultivated land, a large area of which was cultivated by the soldiers.
The troops also raised a lot of livestock and poultry, including chickens, ducks, geese and pigs.
Comrade Mu Fugui gets itchy hands when he sees pigs, but he just slaughtered a batch on August 1st, and it is said that the next batch will have to wait until National Day.
There are few old men in the family compound, but there are many old ladies. Liu Shuangcui and her husband get along well with some of the old ladies. Occasionally, when they have nothing to do, they sit under a tree together to enjoy the cool and chat.
Most of the people in the family compound are not locals, and they come from all over the world, so there is a lot to talk about.
In the blink of an eye, it was August 31st.
The bride and groom will be picked up and the wedding banquet will be held tomorrow. According to custom, Mu Mian went to sleep with her mother next door at night, and Comrade Mu Fugui was sent to room 202.
It was already dark at this time. The lights in the room were on and the electric fan was whirring. On the chair beside the bed was a big red skirt, which was made by Liu Shuangcui herself.
Xixi didn't sleep well in her own room, but came to squeeze in with Mu Mian and Liu Shuangcui. She also brought her new skirt and put it together with Mu Mian's.
Strictly speaking, it was not new. It was made by modifying old clothes. There were waves sewn on the hem with red scraps of cloth. The little girl liked it very much.
After making a fuss for a while, the aunt and nephew lay down side by side, Xixi next to Mu Mian, "Why isn't it morning yet?"
The little girl likes to join in the fun and is looking forward to tomorrow very much.
Mu Mian, the person involved, was calm and said with a smile: "You haven't slept yet. Once you fall asleep, it will be light soon."
Liu Shuangcui reached out and pulled the light cord, "Turn off the light."
Xixi closed her eyes and said seriously, "I want to fall asleep quickly and wake up quickly!"
At the same time.
In room 202 next door, Comrade Mu Fugui was still not sleepy.
The night before his daughter's wedding, he was driven out to stay with his son-in-law.
What is this? !
Mu Fugui was lying on the bed in the second bedroom. After turning over twice, he heard some noise outside and called out to the door, "Xiao Wen, what are you still busy with?"
Wen Zhan was actually not busy with anything. He was fixing the bed in the next bedroom. The bed in the master bedroom was covered with bright red sheets and was tidy. He had no plan to sleep in the master bedroom that night.
A few seconds later, Wen Zhan pushed the door open and walked in.
Mu Fugui gave up half of the bed and said, "Come, let's chat for a while."
Wen Chen lay down, "Dad, you say."
Mu Fugui had a lot to say, and the main point was similar to what Mu Zhuo said that day in the capital. Of course he knew that Xiao Wenren was a good person.
It was just because he didn't make it in time for his daughter to get the marriage certificate, and tomorrow was the day for the wedding and the wedding banquet, so Comrade Mu Fugui couldn't help but say a few more words.
It started from when Mu Mian was a tiny child, bit by bit, all fragments of the little girl's growth, and Wen Chen listened very carefully.
By the end of the conversation, Comrade Mu Fugui didn't even know when he fell asleep.
Wen Chen knew this because just as he was about to get up, Comrade Mu Fugui next to him turned over and was kicked. He felt a sudden pain in his leg, and instantly he felt like he was back to the night he stayed at the hotel six or seven years ago.
Wen Chen: “………………”
If the snoring hadn't been so obvious, he would have suspected that his father-in-law did it on purpose.
---
The next day.
The sun rises as usual and it is a sunny day today.
Mu Mian woke up quite early. He didn't think anything was wrong before going to bed yesterday, but now he felt a little excited after realizing it.
Today is her wedding with Fourth Brother!
If nothing unexpected happens, this may be the only time in this life.
In the morning, Mu Mian put on the clothes made by her own mother. The bright red skirt was matched with a thin belt, which was very slimming.
Nie Sihui helped to fix her hair, braided it neatly, and put it in a bun at the back, with a big red flower pinned next to it.
Of course it’s not a real flower. It’s made of scraps of red cloth and sewn onto a big hairpin, so it looks like a real flower.
Mu Mian did her own makeup. It was very simple. She just drew her eyebrows and pursed her lips with red paper.
Nowadays, few lesbians would put on makeup, as they would be considered petty bourgeois. Of course, it doesn’t matter on the wedding day.
This was the first time that Mu Mian dressed herself up so exquisitely. It must be said that she did look better than usual.
Xixi stood in front of Mu Mian in her little skirt, praising him immediately, "Aunt, you are so beautiful, the most beautiful aunt in the world!"
Room 201 is very lively right now.
Since everyone had nothing to do on Sunday, many people came to join in the fun, like Luo Yingqiu downstairs, Ge Xiuqing and her daughter from Building 5, the sister-in-law of the political commissar of the First Regiment Pang Tianguang, and so on. Many people came one after another.
Liao Qiutong and her family also came early in the morning, and she sat by the bed with her big belly.
The old lady and Comrade Mu Fugui were greeting people outside. The sisters-in-law all came to the bedroom door, and when they saw the bride, they had basically the same reaction as Xixi.
Of course, it wasn't as exaggerated as the little girl's, but the meaning behind her words was basically the same...
Mu Mian is so beautiful today!
After a while of bustle in Room 201, a noise came from the corridor. At the door was the voice of Fan Qingshu's brother Fan Qingli, who reported the news, "The groom is here to pick up the bride! The groom is here to pick up the bride!"
Then came Mu Zhuo's voice, "The door is blocked, the door is blocked, don't let me in!"
Dong Qie: "Yes, yes, it's blocked tightly!"
Of course Wen Chan did not come alone. The room on Mu Zhuo's side was full of people from the Second Group, and behind Wen Chan were people from the First Group, except for Dong Qie, who was now a member of Mu Mian's family.
There was a knock at the door, and the political commissar of the regiment, Pang Tianguang, called out from outside the door, "Old Dong, open the door!"
He is the political commissar, and he is very treacherous. He wanted to disintegrate the enemy from within from the very beginning. His skilled tone made it seem as if Deputy Commander Dong was an undercover agent sent by them.
Dong Qie shouted, "Don't try that! Where's the red envelope?!"
The sisters-in-law and children who were joining in the fun in the room shouted, "Where are the red envelopes, where are the red envelopes!!"
Of course the red envelopes are ready.
Just, other people's
It's easier to pass the test, after all, I'm just here to join in the fun, so it's just a token of my appreciation.
But Mu Zhuo, the brother-in-law, is no pushover. Behind him is his beautiful baby sister, and in front of him is the old cow who took advantage of his lame leg to abduct his baby sister.
The anger that had been suppressed for two months finally had an outlet at this moment. Mu Zhuo rolled up his non-existent sleeves and said, "Come on, show me how to do it."
The corridor and the room were filled with a group of people who were eager to watch the fun and immediately started to make a fuss.
"Sign! Sign!"
"Don't be a wimp, go for it, Lao Wen!!"
"If you can't beat your brother-in-law, you won't get a wife!"
"Old Mu, stand up!"
…………
…
Amidst the noise, the two of them actually started sparring in the living room.
Others not only voluntarily gave up their seats, but also helped move the tables, chairs and benches.
If Wen Chan had tried his best against Mu Zhuo, he would have the upper hand. However, considering that Mu Zhuo's leg had only been healed for over a month, Wen Chan naturally did not try his best.
Mu Zhuo saw that since Lao Wen wanted to give in, he would not be polite. The two of them argued for three or four minutes without any result.
In the bedroom, Nie Sihui and the others were standing at the door looking in.
Mu Mian was extremely curious. He tried to hold back but couldn't. Then, like the little groundhog, he also stuck his upper body and head out.
It was as if Wen Zhan had a wife-detecting radar on him. As soon as Mu Mian stuck his head out, his eyes immediately swept over.
You don’t know until you see it. It’s amazing once you see it.
The red Mu Mian was as bright and beautiful as a big red peony. Wen Chen had naturally never seen Mu Mian like this before.
He just stood there for two seconds, and then got punched on the shoulder.
Wen Zhan, who had just been trying to please his brother-in-law, came to his senses and quickly got rid of Mu Zhuo. He strode towards the bedroom, looking like he didn't want to get entangled with anyone.
He no longer saw his brother-in-law or anything like that. All he saw was his flower-like wife.
Mu Zhuo quickly caught up with him, "You bastard, you have no moral principles!"
The two gestured twice more at the bedroom door. Liu Shuangcui looked at the time and said to her husband, "Stop making trouble."
I am mainly worried about Mu Zhuo's leg. Strictly speaking, he is still in the recovery period and his training volume has not been increased to the maximum.
Wen Zhan certainly wouldn't hurt anyone, but Mu Zhuo himself had no sense of propriety.
Mu Zhuo above really couldn't listen.
Liu Shuangcui nudged Mu Mian with her arm, "Stop it."
Mu Mian's way of stopping people was simple and rough. She walked forward, grabbed her brother's waist with both hands, and lifted him up and down like a child.
In just two or three seconds, Mu Zhuo was lifted up and put into the bedroom, while Wen Zhan was outside.
Mu Mian stood at the door, separating the two people.
Mu Zhuo was still gesturing with his hands, "………………"
What are you doing with him? ! Why don’t you bring up Lao Wen? !
Mu Mian blinked his eyes because his elder brother was so close! She was very fair and if Fourth Brother was close, she would also help him.
Everyone in the living room, "????"
Wait a minute...
Just now the little girl lifted up an old man weighing 150 to 160 kilograms and then put him down, right?
