Chapter 28 Chapter 28 Marriage
On the day of the wedding, the Tian family's house was brightly lit before dawn.
The red candle illuminated Tian Ge's face clearly and also illuminated the "囍" window grille on the window.
"You look beautiful. I'm not bragging, you are the prettiest bride I've seen in recent years." The specially invited makeup lady said with a smile.
Tian Ge reached out and gently touched the bun on the back of her head. Married men and women cannot let their hair down, so it is always tied up neatly like this.
She is getting married today. When the auspicious time comes in the morning, Qin Xiong will come to marry her.
It was something I had prepared for a long time ago, but when it finally came, I felt uneasy and disappointed.
"Xiaoyao, Daddy really can't bear to leave you." Tian Youcai smiled bitterly. Looking at Tian Ge, who was dressed in her wedding gown and looked rosy, he said, "Remember to come home often to see Daddy. Daddy's legs are not doing well. If I could walk again, I would come to see you more often."
As Tian Ge listened, his nose felt sore and tears welled up in his eyes. He reached for his father's hand and nodded heavily.
"We are from the same village, just a few steps away. Xiao Ge'er can't forget us once she gets married. That's impossible." Tian Er said with a smile.
"If anything happens, come back and tell your big brother. If Qin Xiong treats you badly, you can always come home and your big brother will help you vent your anger." Tian Dadao.
Zhuangzhuang also held back his tears, stood beside Tian Ge, and said with a sob: "Uncle, I can't bear to see you go."
The whole family crowded into Tian Ge's room and stayed with him early in the morning.
His sister-in-law also cooked breakfast for him in the kitchen so that he could fill his stomach first.
Tian Ge's heart was beating fast. She felt warm and sad at the same time.
After today, he will leave the house where he has lived for seventeen years. He will not eat three meals a day with his family and will rarely sleep here.
Every corner of the house was stained with his shadow. When he left, everyone felt empty in their hearts, and Tian Ge was no exception.
"Look at how harmonious your family is. I think the groom is a good person too. On such a happy day, everyone should be happy, right?" said the woman who was dressing up with a smile, but she was actually surprised in her heart.
She has dressed up so many young men and women who were about to get married, some of whom came from wealthy families and some of whom were particularly outstanding.
But which family can do what this family does? They are just an ordinary farming family. Everyone in the family loves this little boy so much, just like a treasure in their hands.
God does not favor anyone. This little boy has such a harmonious family and receives so much love, but he is born mute, which makes people sigh.
"Yes, it's a happy day. Zhuangzhuang is young, so forget it. Brother, Dad, you two should stop talking nonsense and be more calm." Tian Erdao tilted his head and looked curiously at the woman kneading noodles for Tian Ge.
"Hmph." Tian Da sneered, trying to sabotage him. "Xiao Ge'er, look carefully at your second brother's swollen eyes. I don't know who it was, but he called me out of the yard late last night, saying he couldn't bear to leave his brother and what should he do. He wiped his eyes as he spoke... Hey! What are you doing? You're so old and still want to fight. Be more steady."
Tian Er hooked his arm around Tian Da's neck, his ears flushed red. "He's still asleep and talking nonsense. Who was looking for you last night? You must be dreaming."
As they talked, the two of them pulled each other out of the house and went to the yard to continue arguing.
After this interruption, Tian Ge and his father looked at each other and couldn't help laughing. Their depressed mood also dissipated a lot.
He drew his eyebrows and put on makeup, applied lip balm, and finally put on a pair of gold earrings left to him by his mother on the tips of his ears.
Tian Ge's face is as rosy as a peach blossom, and the bright red lip balm makes her skin look even whiter.
Tian Ge looked at himself in the bronze mirror. Normally, when he went to see Qin Xiong, he only dared to apply lip balm quietly and lightly, not like today, when he applied it so fully.
Her mind involuntarily thought of her husband... She was getting married soon, so he should be called that.
The rouge masked the heat on his face.
What is Qin Xiong doing now? Is he like him, with his heart beating fast and unable to calm down while waiting?
At dawn, the auspicious time has arrived.
After bidding farewell to my father, I also paid farewell to my mother’s tablet.
Tian Ge lay steadily on his second brother's shoulder and was carried out of the house with a red veil on his head. Amid the noisy cheers, he saw the big red hem of the man's clothes and silk trousers at the door.
His hand was held, and a slightly cool temperature was transmitted to him. He was helped to walk into the ox cart. The slight trembling of his fingertips revealed the owner's restlessness. Tian Ge smiled quietly under the red veil and gently squeezed the hand.
The cow was Tian Ge's betrothal gift, and the carport was custom-made by Qin Xiong by a carpenter.
"How magnificent! How much silver must it have cost?" An uncle who came to show his support sighed while smoking a pipe as he followed the slowly departing oxcart and the wedding procession.
"I'm afraid they have spent all their savings. This is a more impressive show than the Chen family's wedding. Although the Chen family has cows, they rented the ox cart, and it cost two hundred coins to rent it for a day." Someone else continued.
"That's because he has skills. You didn't see the cart of prey that Qin Xiong pulled down from the mountain that day. You underestimated him before." An aunt said happily, opening the small red cloth bag in her hand. It was scattered by the wedding party at the door. There were silver and money wrapped in the cloth, wedding money. Adults and children all scrambled for it.
He was really generous. Most people only gave one cent, and some families didn't even give any money as a gift, but Qin Xiong gave at least two cents, and the most was ten cents.
The child who had snatched the ten cents was so happy that he ran to catch up with the wedding procession in front that was playing music and singing.
Tables and chairs had already been set up in the Qin family's yard, and there were tea, fruits, melon seeds and peanuts on the table.
Two chefs who were invited to prepare banquets were busy in the kitchen.
The courtyard, which has been quiet all year round, has never been so lively.
The banquet was a buffet, with one party starting right after the next.
When the villagers heard that the Qin family had bear meat to eat today, those who had not originally come also came with gifts to taste the rare delicacy.
The Qin family is small, with no parents to take care of them, and only two younger brothers.
Qin Bao helped serve the dishes and clean the table.
Qin Yong, who was far away in the county town, also rushed back early to help pour tea and add water.
In addition, there were two young waiters I didn’t know, with smiles on their faces, moving back and forth skillfully, serving dishes and clearing tables.
There were sixteen dishes on the table, six meat dishes and six vegetable dishes, two cold dishes, and two plates of pastries. Although the wine was just ordinary farm wine, everyone drank freely, and jars of it were brought to the table one by one.
"Congratulations." "May you have a long and happy marriage and live together forever." "Grow old together and love each other forever."...
The old people in Qingshui Village said that this was the most satisfying banquet they had ever had.
The words of blessing are as numerous as the leaves falling in the autumn wind.
In between toasts, Qin Xiong occasionally looked up and saw two tablets in the main hall. He and his husband had just bowed three times in front of the tablets.
The new house was pushed open with a creak.
Tian Ge was sitting upright on the edge of the bed. When she heard the sound, she raised her head slightly, but her face was covered with a red cloth, so she couldn't see who came in.
The hustle and bustle outside the house came in because the door was opened, and the sounds of talking and laughing became blurred as the door closed.
Tian Ge heard the footsteps of the person coming and had already made a judgment in her heart. She looked at the tip of the person's shoes moving under the veil. After hearing him put something on the table, she walked slowly towards him and took a deep breath inexplicably nervously.
The veil was lifted.
Qin Xiong's face was abnormally red, he bent over and looked at him with a smile.
The sweet taste of wine rushed to Tian Ge's face. He reached out to touch Qin Xiong's face. The palm of his hand felt the rough texture of the scar, and his whole face was hot.
This is how much I drank.
Qin Xiong moved closer, supporting himself on the bed with one hand and holding his husband's waist with the other. His eyelashes drooped over his eyes, and he leaned forward to steal a kiss on his husband's lips.
He was crazy with love and so happy that he didn't know what to do. Suddenly, a strong bitterness welled up in his eyes, making his eyes become redder and redder.
Tian Ge didn't hide, but stroked Qin Xiong's cheek. He knew that Qin Xiong was happy today.
There was a knock on the door. It was Qin Bao's voice, saying that everyone asked Qin Xiong to go out for a toast and not to try to hide.
Qin Xiong ignored him lazily. Tian Ge wanted to get up and open the door to respond, but she was held by Qin Xiong and could not move.
"Are you hungry? I brought you some food, fresh out of the pot." Qin Xiong might have been really drunk, and his tone of voice was slow and clingy.
So good, Tian Ge smiled, and couldn't help but use both hands to rub Qin Xiong's cheeks. Why was he so clingy when he was drunk?
Qin Xiong rubbed Tian Ge's heart, then moved closer and kissed her lightly on the corner of her mouth and neck, saying reluctantly, "I'm so happy today, wait for me to come back."
Tian Ge couldn't stand it a little. He had been so tactful before, but after getting married, Qin Xiong became visibly more casual and unrestrained. How could the groom chase his wife and kiss her in the room while the guests were still outside the door?
But after Qin Xiong left the room, he couldn't help but recall the past. The place where Qin Xiong's lips had touched still had a strange tingling feeling.
There was hot food on the small table in the room.
There were pig's trotters stewed with soybeans, braised pork cubes, a bowl of clear soup, a plate of pastries, a plate of shredded pork fried with chili peppers, and a large bowl of solid white rice.
Tian Ge couldn't help but taste the shredded meat. It was tender and fresh, with a mild flavor, quite different from the meat he had eaten before. He thought it must be the bear meat hunted by Qin Xiong.
Tian Ge looked at the table full of dishes and smiled. There was no way he could finish all of it.
