Lin Mo said what he wanted to do most in his life, which was to marry Su Mu and live together for the rest of their lives.
He didn't want Su Mu to wait too long, lest the villagers gossip about him. It was fine for him as a man, so he could just block out the gossip. But Su Mu was different. He was a man, and had suffered so much. Lin Mo couldn't bear to see him gossiped about.
Su Yunxia couldn't help but smile knowingly. He walked over and patted Lin Mo's shoulder like an older brother.
"I'm relieved to entrust Mu Mu to you. I believe you won't let him down. He's my only brother, Lin Mo. I trust you."
At night, everyone else went to bed early, but Lin Mo was still lying in bed with his eyes open, unable to sleep.
That night, Su Mu slept the soundest, only Lin Mo stayed awake all night.
The rooster crowed and everyone in the shop got up. Looking at their busy figures, there must be a big event today.
Su Mu was the first to go to bed, but the last to get up today. It was not because of any other reason, but because everyone in the store seemed to have agreed to get up very early.
Su Mu walked down the stairs, but found that the table on the first floor and the ground were filled with various things.
There were noodles, wine, lucky balls, four-color candies, livestock gifts, a bucket of two rices, and a stack of silver!
Su Mu couldn't help but be dumbfounded: "Second brother, Lin Mo, what are you doing? Why are all the things on the table? Aren't you going to open the door for business today?"
This made Su Yunxia and everyone else laugh.
Su Yunxia: "Mumu, today is the day Lin Mo proposes to you, and these things are used for the proposal."
Aunt Lu also interjected, "Yes, we won't do business today. Third Master wants to propose to you. Nothing is more important than this." After saying this, she couldn't help but stand by and laugh foolishly. Lao Gu and the others also celebrated.
Su Mu didn't understand this because no one else in the village got married like this.
Most people in the village are relatively poor and have never had a proper wedding, let alone a betrothal gift. They save as much as possible and just set up a few tables for a banquet and invite relatives and friends to have a meal, and that's it.
Who would have thought that Lin Mo would actually make such an arrangement? Su Mu felt inexplicably touched and very happy.
He walked forward and looked at these objects carefully. Some of them he recognized, while others he had never seen before.
Noodles symbolize the happy marriage of two people.
Twenty-four bottles of good wine symbolize peace and safety during the twenty-four solar terms.
Dried longan and dried jujube symbolize the prosperity of descendants, passed down from generation to generation.
Raw sugar, rock honey, tangerine cakes, and winter melon candied fruit symbolize sweetness and a long-lasting marriage.
There are also chicken, duck, fish and pork, all of which are very fresh.
In addition, twelve pounds of glutinous rice and three pounds and two ounces of icing sugar were prepared to make dumplings for Su Mu's second brother and others, symbolizing a happy reunion.
As for the betrothal gift, it had all been discussed in advance, and Lin Mo had prepared an auspicious number. This was a token of his affection for the other party's family, and also a sign of Lin Mo's sincerity.
Su Yunxia actually didn't want to accept the betrothal gift at first, but after Lin Mo's repeated requests, Su Yunxia had to accept it on behalf of her parents.
I was thinking of making a dowry for Su Mu when he got married.
Su Mu glanced at the small box beside him. There was a scroll made of brocade on it. He had learned a lot of words during the days he followed Fu Yanzhi and could recognize the words "engagement letter" on it.
His heart couldn't help but pound, a little nervous, but also a little expectant. A blush appeared on his face inadvertently, which set off his fair and delicate skin, making his face look even more beautiful.
Lin Mo asked for a matchmaker and asked for Su Mu's name and date of birth. Su Yunxia wrote Su Mu's name and date of birth on red paper with ink.
Afraid that Su Yunxia would not be able to recognize more advanced characters, Lin Mo specially hired a calligrapher to help write the Geng Tie.
Lin Mo and Su Mu exchanged engagement letters, and their birth charts were also used to inquire about the date of their marriage.
At this moment, Su Mu's heart was finally at ease.
Aunt Lu prepared a sumptuous meal for everyone, with everything from mountain and sea delicacies. Su Mu was still worried that after such a large sum of money, would Lin Mo have any money left?
So he started to worry about Lin Mo again. Calculating the time, he thought the shopkeeper should have sent the drawing to the county.
Su Mu prayed in his heart that he must survive. He also wanted to earn some money for the family and didn't want Lin Mo to suffer alone.
Lin Mo was very happy today. He and Su Yunxia drank a lot of wine. Lu Amo and Lao Gu also took a few sips, but did not dare to drink too much.
I thought that a few people would have to stay behind to clean up. If they all got drunk, who would do the work?
Su Mu looked at them and felt happy. He wanted to drink some wine to cheer them up, but Lin Mo didn't want him to drink too much and only allowed him to take a small sip.
Lin Mo was worried that he would feel uncomfortable in his head after drinking, just like last time. Drinking too much is harmful to the body, and he felt distressed.
At night, the dinner was coming to an end and Lin Mo was a little drunk, so Su Mu helped him upstairs to rest.
Su Yunxia, who was lying next to him, had already fallen asleep on the table. It was Lao Gu and the waiter who carried him up to the room on the second floor.
The remaining Lu A'mo was cleaning up the mess.
Su Mu brought a basin of water into the room, thinking of wiping Lin Mo's body.
Lin Mo, lying on the bed, was squinting his eyes in confusion. The effect of alcohol made his face red and he smelled a bit unpleasant.
Su Mu was patiently wiping his face, washing the towel, and then wiping his hands.
Looking at Lin Mo sleeping peacefully, Su Mu felt that he was very well behaved, and his feelings grew in his heart. He couldn't help but lean over and kiss his cheek.
Su Mu helped Lin Mo take off his outer robe, tiptoed to untie the belt of his inner garment, wrung out the water from the towel, and gently wiped his body.
While rubbing, he sighed, Lin Mo has a great figure, with well-proportioned muscles, full lines, and eight abdominal muscles. Su Mu couldn't help but poke his abdominal muscles, which were really strong.
After he finished wiping Lin Mo's body and legs, there was only one awkward spot left. He wondered whether he should wipe it or not.
Su Mu thought that although she and Lin Mo were already engaged, they hadn't really gotten married yet, and felt that it was a bit inappropriate to do these things now. After a long struggle, she finally decided to let him do it himself.
Su Mu stuffed the handkerchief into Lin Mo's hand and pushed Lin Mo who was dozing off.
In a daze, Lin Mo seemed to hear someone calling him and responded.
"Um?"
Su Mu turned his face away, feeling shy and a little embarrassed to speak, stuttering.
"Wipe, wipe your body, wipe it yourself. I, I'm not very convenient."
After Su Mu finished speaking, his face turned red all the way to his ears. Then he quickly grabbed Lin Mo's wrist, put his hand in the place he designated, and let him wipe it himself.
Although Lin Mo was a little confused, he was still conscious. He wiped it clean honestly and handed the handkerchief back to Su Mu.
Su Mu stared at the handkerchief in a daze, a hint of shyness flashing in his eyes.
