Chapter 66 Chapter 66 The bride and groom are welcomed and the wedding banquet is held.
The next day.
As soon as the day broke, Liu Shuangcui got up.
Mu Mian was awakened by the noise of her mother getting up, and sat up as well.
Liu Shuangcui turned her head and looked at her yawning daughter with frizzy hair, "There's nothing for you to do. Just lie down for a while."
Mu Mian casually brushed away the strands of hair stuck to his face and shook his round head, "I'm not going to sleep anymore."
As he spoke, he picked up the clothes placed next to him and planned to change into them.
Liu Shuangcui: "There are new clothes in the bag that Xiaowen brought over. Bring them over and try them on later."
Mu Mian became interested, "Yeah! I forgot to look at it yesterday. I'll go get it and take a look after they get up."
It's still in her parents' room, and I don't know what it looks like.
I'm really looking forward to it!
The mother and daughter were chatting and getting ready when they heard the sound of scooping water outside. It was obvious that the old lady must have gotten up first.
When the mother and daughter went out and squatted to wash their faces together, Mu Zhuo opened his eyes in the main room. He turned his head and saw Wen Zhuo sleeping upright against the wall next to him, with his legs even slightly tilted towards the wall.
In a daze, Mu Zhuo spoke faster than his brain and blurted out in confusion, "Lao Wen, why are you sleeping here?"
Wen Zhan opened his eyes and upon hearing these words, he subconsciously touched the two places where he was kicked yesterday.
One night passed
It still hurts a little bit now.
But before Wen Chen could organize his words in a tactful way, Mu Fugui on the other side spoke first, "Xiao Wen, I'm sorry, did your uncle accidentally kick you last night?"
It can be said that he is very self-aware and knows exactly what he is like when he falls asleep.
As soon as Mu Fugui's loud voice came out, Mu Zhuo's confused mind suddenly became much clearer. He smiled and patted Wen Zhan's shoulder, "I was wondering why you came here when you were fine."
"My father sleeps with his arms and legs spread out, kicking whatever he touches."
"You don't know. My grandma said that when he was young, he kicked my grandpa's leg and it was blue. At that time, he and my mom were not married yet. If my mom hadn't been kind, he might not have had a wife."
"My little sister and I almost disappeared from this world."
Mu Fugui slapped his boy on the shoulder and said, "You teased your father so early in the morning, why don't you get up quickly? If you dawdle any longer, you might lose your wife."
After saying that, Mu Fugui gave Wen Chen another apologetic smile, "Where did I kick you, Xiao Wen? Is it okay?"
Wen Chen had already stood up and put on his shoes when the father and son were arguing, "It's okay, uncle, it's not a problem."
Even his future father-in-law kicked him, so it was not surprising that he got kicked twice. Anyone lying next to him would probably get kicked twice.
Wen Chen opened the door of the main house first. Liu Shuangcui happened to pass by and said to Mu Zhuo who was following closely behind him, "What are you guys talking about in the house? You've been talking for a long time."
Mu Zhuo betrayed his own father without hesitation, "My father kicked Lao Wen last night, and he crawled over here and slept against the wall in the middle of the night."
Liu Shuangcui looked as if she had just remembered something, and she cried out loudly, "I forgot to tell you yesterday. When your uncle falls asleep, it's like the whole world is him, with his arms and legs lying all over the place."
The old lady interrupted, "It was like that when I was pregnant with him. It really tortured me. It felt like someone was punching me in the stomach. When I was about to give birth, my belly would bulge out from time to time."
"The other kids behind him are not like this, only he is like this. I don't know who he got the style from."
Mu Fugui was a little embarrassed when his past was exposed early in the morning. "Who else can I follow? I can only follow you and the old man."
The old lady snorted, "You are really wronging me and your father. You are the one who grew up crooked. Fortunately, Mian Ya and his sister did not follow you."
Mu Mian raised his little head and said obediently, "I'm very honest!"
Once she fell asleep, she stayed perfectly still and straight, and she looked the same when she was asleep as when she was awake.
Thinking of the kick her daughter gave the wild boar, Liu Shuangcui sighed, "If you were the same as your father, I really wouldn't dare sleep with you."
Her daughter's leg strength is something that not everyone can stand.
The old lady said: "President Mian Ya, she doesn't want any bad things about you two."
Mu Fugui was not convinced. "How can this be considered a bad thing? Men just need that thing. What's the word for it?"
Mu Mian tried to connect with his father's train of thought, "Brave? Bold?"
Mu Fugui blew water on his face while muttering, "That's about it!"
Liu Shuangcui instructed her man, "Stop pulling it. When you're done washing, use the water to clean the bike."
Mu Mian entered the kitchen and squatted in front of the stove to help her grandmother light the fire.
They had a simple breakfast, and soon after they finished, the yard became lively. Mu Mian's fourth uncle and younger uncle's families came early with their belongings.
Bone Little Orange and the two sisters Xiao Mai Miao surrounded Mu Zhuo and Wen Chan and chattered.
Mu Mian didn't join them in talking about these wild ideas. She went into her parents' room and packed up the things that Wen Chen had brought.
I didn't see or pay attention to it before, but now that I'm cleaning it up, I realize that the things Captain Wen brought are really quite a lot.
The clothes she was given were a complete set, a bit like sportswear, white and blue, and came with a pair of small sandals.
She had seen it in a department store before and wanted to buy it, but then she thought it would be inconvenient for running up the mountain, so she didn't buy it.
I didn't expect that Xiaoying's grandmother would buy it for her.
In addition to these, there is also a bag full of candies and biscuits that children will obviously like to eat.
There was a pot of wine in the bag at the side, and it was obvious that it was prepared by Captain Wen himself.
When Mu Fugui finished wiping his bicycle and entered the house, Mu Mian had just finished cleaning up. She held the pot of wine and showed it to Comrade Mu Fugui, "Look, Dad! Brother Wen gave it to you."
Mu Fugui came back a little later than usual yesterday, and was frightened by his own daughter so much that he didn't even notice what Wen Chen brought.
After seeing clearly what his daughter was holding, Mu Fugui exclaimed loudly, "This wine is good!"
Then he turned around and said loudly to Wen Chen: "Xiao Wen, I have to say something to you. You are too polite. I told you to treat this place as your home. Look at you carrying so many bags. What kind of words are you talking about?"
Wen Chen smiled and said, "I didn't spend any money, uncle. This wine was also filled by my aunt."
"I took my uncle's stock. He likes to have a sip whenever he wants. He drank too much when he was young. My aunt doesn't let him drink too much now. Uncle, just think of this as helping my uncle to reduce his burden."
Mu Fugui laughed heartily, "Hahaha, if you say so, then I won't be polite to you."
"Don't mention it. I've never drunk this kind of drink before. I just heard Lao Pan and the others mention it."
Liu Shuangcui glanced at her man and said, "I was thinking that the lunch I got last time might not be enough. Now it's just enough."
Mu Fugui said with a "tsk" sound, "Why not?! I've seen enough."
"This is what Xiao Wen gave me. I put it in the room and drink it when I have nothing to do. At noon, I let the guests drink what I made earlier. It's just a token of my appreciation. Do you want them to be full?"
The tone was the same as that of the big dog guarding its food.
His usual generosity was gone, and his stingy look was clearly visible.
Mu Xingwang, who was helping to wash vegetables in the yard, revealed the truth, "Brother really becomes stingy when he drinks."
Mu Fugui was rude to his brother, "You know shit!"
His wife can't stand him playing tricks on her from time to time.
He didn't do much! !
While the adults were chattering, Mu Mian in the room had changed into her white and blue suit.
It's true, it fits me perfectly and I can tell that the person who picked it put a lot of effort into it.
Mu Mian also took off the braids she had tied in the morning and tied a high ponytail at the back, which made her look particularly energetic and youthful.
As soon as Mu Mian left the house, Mu Xingwang exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Whose city kid is this who has come to our house?"
Xiao Miaomiao rushed over and hugged Mu Mian's thighs, "Sister Mian Ya, you are so beautiful!"
Mu Mian rubbed his cousin's head and said, "You will find that the bride is more beautiful in a while."
Xiao Miaomiao's thoughts immediately followed, "When will Sister Sihui come over?"
Little Chengzi had a look on his face that showed he understood everything. "Are you stupid? Big brother has to go pick her up. The bride won't come by herself. And you can't call her sister, you have to call her sister-in-law."
Xiao Miaomiao stomped her feet and said, "Brother, you are stupid. I don't want to play with you anymore!"
Little Orange: "You have to say this eight hundred times a day."
Xiao Miaomiao pouted, "I just like to talk!"
While the brother and sister were arguing, Liu Dezheng came with the child. Liu Dongping had not come yet. She was busy these days and was still running after the car.
As we agreed before, I will come later today.
It just so happens that the car will pass by the commune where Mu Mian's second and third aunts live, so we can give them a ride along the way.
However, although it is late, it is not that late.
Around eleven o'clock in the morning, sisters Liu Dongping and Mu Chunfen arrived together.
Mu Chunfen spoke in the loud voice inherited from her ancestors of the Mu family, "Hey, our legs are almost burning from all the journey, we are afraid of missing the chance to pick up the bride."
The old lady smiled so hard that her teeth were showing. "Not wrong, not wrong. It's just right."
When there are too many people in the room, the noise can almost make the roof blown off, with everyone talking back and forth.
"What time are we going to pick up the bride?"
"I guess there's still half an hour left."
"Brother, where did you get so much meat? It looks like wild boar meat to me."
"It's wild boar meat. A wild boar ran down here yesterday and Mian Ya killed it."
"What?! Did Mian-Mian Ya hit you?"
"Wow! That's amazing, how did you kill the wild boar? Can you teach me?"
"You are so small, and you are still hunting wild boars.
If you poke your head once, you’ll probably be done for.”
"My cousin isn't very big either."
"She's very strong."
…………
…
While busy, I can't stop talking.
On the adults' side, Wen Chen was pulled by Liu Dezheng to talk about various things in the capital.
If he weren’t Comrade Mu Fugui’s brother-in-law, the questions they both asked were similar.
Mu Mian was also surrounded by children, all of whom were more curious about hunting wild boars than about the feast itself.
However, Mu Mian did not talk to the kids for too long. At a little after eleven o'clock, she took Shi Xiaolian and Xu Lele to the educated youth site.
Although the educated youth site at this moment was not as lively as Mu Mian's home, it was also full of joy.
Nie Sihui was usually a very easy-going person, and she got along well with the female educated youth who shared the same room with her. Today, she helped out with all of them.
Jian Mulan saw the three little girls from a distance. She poked her head out of the window and said jokingly, "Xiaomi, what are you doing here at this time? Are you here to lead the charge for your brother? Is Comrade Mu Zhuo afraid that Sihui won't go with him?"
A female educated youth laughed and echoed, "You are too impatient. It is not time yet."
Mu Mian replied in a serious tone, "My brother is my brother, I am me, and today I am Sihui's family member, I will definitely stand on Sihui's side!!"
Xu Lele ran and looked around excitedly, "Is Sister Sihui in the house?"
Shi Xiaolian said calmly: "Of course he is."
Jian Mulan also found it funny, "Where else could she be if not in the house at this time?"
The door was ajar. Xu Lele realized that she had asked a stupid question and smiled innocently. She raised her hand and gently pushed the door open. Then she exclaimed loudly, "Sister Sihui is so pretty!"
Mu Mian nodded repeatedly, "She is indeed the most beautiful bride. My brother will be stunned in a moment!"
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Nie Sihui was wearing a bright red dress, the slightly slim-fitting design outlined her waistline.
Her hair was braided and tied up at the back. Her eyebrows were probably lightly drawn with charcoal, making them darker than usual, and her mouth was sealed with red paper.
Although it was just a simple fix, he looked extremely energetic.
In addition, Nie Sihui's facial features were originally good-looking, and they looked even better after a little makeover.
Nie Sihui blushed after being praised by several little girls and whispered, "It's not as beautiful as you say."
Xu Lele sat down next to Nie Sihui, "Yes, yes, they are very beautiful, better than my sister-in-law's that day."
After saying this, Xu Lele suddenly realized that there was something wrong with what she said, and immediately added: "Don't tell my sister-in-law."
Jian Mulan joked: "It's too late, I've already remembered it."
Xu Lele stretched out her hand and waved it randomly in front of Jian Mulan, "Oh, forget it, forget it!"
Jian Mulan supported her head cooperatively, "Hey, what did Lele say just now? I can't remember it."
Xu Lele laughed, "If you can't remember, forget it."
Jian Mulan put down her hand and said, "Okay, I don't want to think about it anymore."
Mu Mian pulled Shi Xiaolian to sit on the other side of Nie Sihui, holding Nie Sihui's arm and smiling sweetly.
Jian Mulan's eyes fell on the little girl's white and blue suit. "Xiao Mian's outfit is also beautiful. You two are really good-looking."
Mu Mian smiled and said, "People from the same family are like one family!"
Nie Sihui was obviously looking forward to her future home, with a smile always on her face.
Shi Xiaolian silently glanced at the aunt and sister-in-law beside her. She was having trouble matching the current Nie Sihui with the Nie Sihui in her previous life when she just received the acceptance letter.
At that time, Nie Sihui was struggling alone, and her spirit and energy showed that she was old.
There is only a ten-year age difference, but they look as if they are twenty or thirty years older.
Mu Mian noticed the sight and turned to look at Shi Xiaolian. "What are you looking at?"
Before Shi Xiaolian could say anything, a voice suddenly came from the door, "The groom is here to pick up the bride!"
Mu Mian jumped up suddenly and poked his head to look out the window.
Shi Xiaolian was also pulled by Xu Lele, and the three little girls stood in a row like three little swallows under the eaves, with their little heads sticking out.
Not far from the educated youth site, a big red flower was tied to the front of a bicycle that was polished to a shine. Mu Zhuo was wearing a neat military uniform, the same one he wore when he went home.
His strong and tall body paired with this outfit makes him look so handsome and energetic.
That’s right, the face is not very good looking.
The big man grinned with his big teeth in a very naive smile, as if he was some silly boy who had just run away from home.
Mu Mian could see his elder brother's big white teeth from a distance, which were quite conspicuous.
There were two bicycles following behind. One was ridden by Wen Chan, who borrowed the bike from the captain's house. Gutou and Xiaochengzi were sitting on the crossbar and the back seat, one in front and one behind.
Next up is Liu Tao, who also came here by bicycle today.
Three bicycles drove over, looking quite impressive.
Mu Zhuo arrived before Mu Mian waved his hand and shouted at the top of his voice: "Comrade Nie Sihui, I'm here to pick you up!"
As soon as he spoke, the villagers who were joining in the fun immediately burst into laughter.
"We've been together for so long, why are you still calling me so distant?"
"Hahaha, sorry!"
"Is it the bride? Come out and see her."
…………
…
In the past two years, influenced by the overall environment, the wedding process has been simplified a lot.
After a few words of chatting and laughing, the door opened.
Mu Mian held Nie Sihui's arm and shouted behind the door, "Here she comes, here she comes, the bride is here, big brother, come and pick her up!"
She was small, and her voice was a little childish, with a deliberately high tone like that of a lark announcing good news.
Being stared at by so many people, Nie Sihui's face turned slightly red, but she remained calm and walked out with confidence.
She was calm, but Mu Zhuo was not. Facing the person in the bright red dress, he was stunned for several seconds.
Some old ladies like to laugh at young people's jokes. When they see people like this, they immediately burst into laughter.
"Hahahahaha, Zhuo boy is stunned!"
"What are you standing there for? Take it home and take a closer look!"
"Hahaha, that's right. You can watch as much as you want in the future."
"I have to say it, but the outfit of the young educated youth Nie looks really good today."
"If it doesn't look good, the groom will be stunned!"
…………
…
Mu Mian also joked in the midst of the chatter: "Oh~ my brother is stupid!"
Xu Lele chuckled, "Like a silly goose."
Shi Xiaolian said seriously, as if she understood everything, "This is normal."
Mu Zhuo came back to his senses in the midst of the chattering between the three girls. There was a slight hint of red under his bronze skin. It was because he was dark, otherwise the red would have been more obvious.
Mu Zhuo reached out his hand and held Nie Sihui's, "Come on, I'll take you home."
Nie Sihui nodded slightly and responded, "Yeah."
The voice was not small, and it was firm.
People are very reserved these days, and the two of them just held hands, which immediately attracted a lot of booing, causing the two newlyweds to blush.
Mu Mian smiled widely like an auntie and made some strange sounds.
Shi Xiaolian glanced at Mu Mian, whose mouth was almost stretched to the back of her head, and said, "Why are you so young, smiling like those matchmakers?"
The tone was exactly the same as when Mu Mian told people not to always talk like the aunties.
Mu Mian was very happy, smiling like a sunflower, "What matchmaker aunt? It's obviously a little matchmaker!"
After saying that, he pulled Shi Xiaolian and Xu Lele behind Mu Zhuo and Nie Sihui and said, "Let's go, let's take Sister Taozi's car."
The educated youth point was not far from the Mu family, so it was of course impossible to just go back like that.
If a family has a bicycle, they will usually ride around the group after picking up the bride.
Liu Tao patted the horizontal bar in front of the bicycle and said, "Come on, which of you three little girls will sit in the front?"
Xu Lele scurried over and said, "I'll sit, I'll sit!"
She likes to sit in the front because there is no adult behind her and she can see far away.
Liu Tao had short hair on top and smiled brightly, "Okay, then you have to hold on tight."
Xu Lele smiled innocently, "I know how to catch it. I guarantee it's safe. When my dad took care of me before, I never fell off. But one time when I was sitting in the back, my dad kicked me off with his leg."
Liu Tao burst into laughter, "Hahaha, this is too careless."
Xu Lele snorted, "That's right."
Liu Tao laughed loudly while holding up her bicycle. She turned her head and looked at Mu Mian, "Mian Mian, you two should hurry up. Xiao Zhuo and his sister-in-law are also leaving."
"
Mu Mian smiled and said, "Come on, come on."
As she spoke, she lifted up Shi Xiaolian and placed her in front of the back seat, then she lifted her legs and squeezed in the back.
The movement was so smooth that Shi Xiaolian couldn't react.
Shi Xiaolian, who was dragged around like a little chicken again, exclaimed, "………………"
As expected, if you are strong you can do whatever you want. She is used to it.
Mu Mian tugged at her cousin's clothes and said, "Let's go, let's catch up with my brother!"
In the front, Nie Sihui was sitting behind Mu Zhuo, gently pulling at his clothes, and a bunch of children were running after the car.
From time to time, Mu Zhuo would take out some candies from his pocket and sprinkle them around, causing the little kids to cheer happily.
Halfway through the journey, Little Orange, the bone-smelling car owner, decided it would be more fun to run along the trails below, so he jumped off and chased after his friends.
Although the Qingfeng Brigade was quite large, it didn't take long to ride a bicycle around it. After a while, we made it back, and surrounded by the little kids, we slowly arrived at the gate of the Mu family.
The two sisters Xiaomai Miao stood on the left and right, each holding a burning firewood stick in her hand.
As soon as they saw the bicycle, everyone started shouting.
"Here she comes, here comes the bride!"
"Quick! Fire the cannons! Fire the cannons!"
…
The two sisters, Xiao Mie Miao, who had been waiting for a long time, each ordered a skewer, ordered them and ran away.
There was a crackling sound at the gate, and Mu Zhuo and Nie Sihui were escorted in.
The wedding process is very simple. Under the leadership of the master of ceremonies, everyone recites quotations together, and the ceremony is completed after they are finished.
Mu Fugui was sitting next to the old lady. When the two of them finished reading, he took the lead in clapping his hands, "Good, good, good!"
He looked like he was joining in the fun, as if he was attending someone else's wedding, which made others' eyes twitch.
Although Comrade Mu Fugui seems a bit unreliable, he has a reliable wife.
Liu Shuangcui invited everyone to eat and drink, and Tang Cuixiang and Zheng Xialan were also busy running around.
The yard was more lively than ever today, with three tables set up.
There is one table for gay men, one table for lesbians, and also... one table for children.
There's no way, just the number of children from their two families is enough.
Mu Mian was naturally at the children's table, greeting a group of brothers and sisters.
Because there was suddenly an extra fifty kilograms of meat, today's banquet was quite spacious. There were three or four meat dishes on each table, and the meat was served in large slices.
The little kids were eating so much that they couldn't even lift their heads. They picked up the food so quickly.
They were enjoying the meal, while at the adults' table, Mu Zhuo and Nie Sihui toasted the elders one by one.
After toasting, Mu Zhuo came towards Mu Mian with a cup in his hand, smiling, "We can't forget our little matchmaker."
Mu Mian stood up holding his enamel pot, "Hey, we are siblings, why are we being so polite?"
Having said that, he still touched his brother and sister-in-law seriously, with a heroic look on his face, "I did it, you guys can do whatever you want!"
Xu Lele, who was sitting next to her, said innocently, "Sister Mianmian, isn't your jar empty?"
The adults at the nearby table burst into laughter instantly.
Mu Mian: “………………”
It's just... a ritual.
