"If only it were better." Zhong Mingwei patted his legs. He didn't say it, but he still felt a little regretful. According to the customs of Ningguta, the groom should carry the bride into the room, but his legs were not strong enough. If he tried to carry Meiya, they would both fall. No. He had to find a chance to try today to see if he could carry Meiya.
Pang Yi didn't know what Zhong Mingwei was thinking, so he just kept comforting him: "Master, I see that your legs are much better than before. I'm afraid that by the beginning of next spring, you will be able to walk like a normal person. Please don't worry."
Zhong Mingwei sighed softly, said nothing more, and limped out of the backyard.
…
forecourt.
Meiya, Grandma Chen and Gu Qingtong were sitting in the pavilion. Grandma Chen was dyeing peanuts with red paint. Meiya and Gu Qingtong were sitting on either side. Gu Qingtong was called over by Grandma Chen yesterday. She said that it was not appropriate for Meiya to have no one to accompany her when she got married. So she called Gu Qingtong over.
"Grandma, if you hadn't come, we wouldn't have known we still had to dye peanuts." Mei Ya stared at Grandma Chen's hands that were dyed red, and her heart felt warm.
"I know you outsiders don't understand these things, so I rushed here." Grandma Chen looked at her with a smile, and lowered her head to dye the peanuts.
In fact, it was not like that. Grandma Chen was worried that without an elder at home, Meiya would feel empty inside. So even though she had been regretting these days that Meiya could not be her granddaughter-in-law, she still asked Chen Qingxuan to send her over early, and she was busy preparing this and that for Meiya. The regret in her heart was no longer felt by Grandma Chen when she saw Meiya's smiling face. She just regarded it as marrying off her granddaughter.
"Grandma, do we just want to dye the peanuts?" Gu Qingtong asked Grandma Chen while peeling chestnuts and eating them.
"We also need to dye the white chestnuts," said Grandma Chen, glaring at Gu Qingtong. "I picked out the best chestnuts for the girls. If you want to eat them, go find them yourself."
"Oh." Gu Qingtong hurriedly put the chestnuts in his hand back into the basket.
"It's okay, Miss Gu, I'll go get some cakes. I'm a little hungry too," Meiya smiled at Gu Qingtong as she stood up. "How about chestnut cake, thousand-layer puff pastry, and eight-treasure sweet yogurt?"
"Okay, Meiya, just take whatever you want," Gu Qingtong said hurriedly, a little embarrassed, "I'm not that hungry, I've already had dinner..."
"This isn't something that will make you full, let's just eat it for fun." Mei Ya immediately jumped towards the kitchen. The chef from Zhenweizhai was very busy when he arrived, and said that he had made a lot of cakes. Mei Ya had been craving for it for a long time.
"Grandma, I think that man's legs and feet seem to be better than before," Gu Qingtong glanced at Zhong Mingwei and saw him walk out of the crescent-shaped door. He lowered his head and whispered to Grandma Chen, "Grandma, do you think so?"
Grandma Chen also looked up, and sure enough, she saw Zhong Mingwei holding a lantern in his hand, walking slowly towards her. Although he was a little slower, he was much steadier than the last time she saw him. Thinking of how Zhong Mingwei couldn't even walk before, Grandma Chen nodded immediately: "He is much better now. It looks like he will be able to recover in the future."
"That girl Meiya is so lucky to marry a man with such a rich family, good looks and a caring heart," Gu Qingtong said, and couldn't help but sigh, "Grandma, why can't I find such a perfect husband?"
"You! Like your cousin, you both have eyes on the top of your head!" Grandma Chen gave Gu Qingtong a look, then stood up and smiled as she walked out of the pavilion. "Didn't you say you were busy in the backyard? Why did you come out?"
"I heard that you were here, so of course I had to come out and take a look. Grandma Chen, it's hard for you to come so early," Zhong Mingwei said with a smile. He put down the lantern and went up to help Grandma Chen. They returned to the pavilion together. Looking at the half-dyed peanuts on the stone table, Zhong Mingwei was very curious, "Grandma Chen, what is this for?"
"Oh, I'm preparing five kinds of fruits, which I'll give to you tomorrow," Grandma Chen explained hurriedly, "They are jujubes, peanuts, longans, chestnuts, and ginkgo nuts." At this point, Grandma Chen smiled even more deeply, "It means I wish you a happy marriage and a son soon. This is the best intention, and I picked the best and biggest fruits."
