Chapter 868 It’s Time for Me to Go
Zhou said happily, "Mr. Li looked at the almanac and said that the fifteenth day of three days is the day of the full moon, which means the flowers are in full bloom and the moon is full, which is suitable for holding a wedding. So we set the wedding date for three days. Although time is a bit tight, it is always better to do it sooner rather than later. The sooner it is done, the sooner we can feel at ease."
The old village chief nodded: "That's right."
The sooner the wedding is done, the more likely it is that Li Qingyan will regret it.
The village is so small that there is no need for anyone to publicize it, and the news of Yun Kexin's upcoming marriage has spread.
Everyone congratulated Zhou.
In a remote place like this, there aren't too many formalities. Getting married is just a ceremony and inviting folks to a meal, and that's pretty much it. All the red tape in between is skipped.
Originally, Zhou wanted to build another house in the village, and have her daughter use it as the new house so that her daughter and son-in-law could live comfortably in their own world.
But now time is running out and it is definitely too late to build a temporary house.
She could only make do with letting her daughter and son-in-law get married in the old house first, and build a new house later.
During these two days, Yun Kexin was busy preparing for the wedding and hardly showed up in public.
Li Qingyan was not idle either. He wrote many wedding characters and wedding couplets by himself.
These big red wedding characters and wedding couplets were pasted everywhere in the house, and together with the big red lanterns, they made this small courtyard look full of joy.
Two days passed in a flash.
On the day of the wedding, Zhou dug out two jars of daughter's red wine buried in the backyard. This was the jar that Yun Changsheng had buried on purpose on the day Yun Kexin was born, so that he could drink it on his daughter's wedding day.
Afterwards, Zhou had someone slaughter a pig that they raised at home.
All the neighbors came to help and prepared for the wedding banquet in a lively manner.
When the sun set, Li Qingyan lit the firecrackers himself, announcing the official start of the wedding banquet.
When the bamboo is lit, it makes a crackling sound.
The bride came out in a red wedding dress with a red veil on her head embroidered with twin lotus flowers.
Li Qingyan stood at the door, watching her walk towards him step by step, and the corners of his mouth rose involuntarily.
When she came to him, he took her hand and led her into the main room.
The house was filled with guests, who were talking about blessings and had happy smiles on everyone's faces.
Zhou sat very upright on the main seat.
She looked at the newlyweds in front of her, and felt both relieved and reluctant when she thought that her daughter was about to get married.
On the table next to Zhou was Yun Changsheng's tablet.
The old village chief, as the witness, shouted with full energy.
"Bow to Heaven and Earth!"
Li Qingyan helped Yun Kexin kneel down.
"Bow to your parents!"
The two men turned around and kowtowed to Zhou respectfully.
"Husband and wife bow to each other!"
Li Qingyan bowed to Yun Kexin, and Yun Kexin also bowed in return.
When the two bowed, the backs of their hands touched lightly.
Soon they separated again.
The two men stood up straight and walked slowly towards the side room amid the laughter of the crowd.
Next came the banquet.
Two jars of girl's red wine were opened, and the rich aroma of the wine spread out, attracting the eyes of all the men present.
Li Qingyan drank a few glasses with everyone, and then left early on the grounds that he couldn't handle the alcohol.
Everyone thought he was in a hurry to go back to be with his wife, and they all laughed at him for being too impatient, but no one stopped him and let him go.
He returned to the bedroom and lifted the big red veil covering Yun Kexin's head.
Yun Kexin put on makeup.
The woman in the village did her makeup, using homemade rouge and eyebrow pencil.
The rough techniques and crude cosmetics are unbearable even for a fairy.
Especially the older generation in the village have a very strange aesthetic. They believe that the face must be rosy to show a happy feeling.
So the moment Yun Kexin raised her head, Li Qingyan was so frightened that he lost the ability to speak on the spot.
The beautiful and lively little girl who usually looked pretty now had her cheeks painted red with rouge, her lips also painted bright red, and her eyebrows drawn thin and long.
The makeup artist probably wanted to draw a flower between her eyebrows, but due to poor skills, in the end only a red dot could be seen.
In order to make her look more festive, she wore two big red crabapple flowers in her hair.
The whole makeup effect is terrifying!
Yun Kexin also felt that she didn’t look good like this.
She immediately stood up, scooped two buckets of water from the bucket, and quickly washed the makeup off her face.
One great thing about homemade makeup is that it is very easy to remove.
After a while, her face returned to its normal appearance.
She wiped the water droplets off her face and wrote on the small blackboard: Have I washed my face clean?
Li Qingyan looked at her face carefully.
Because she rubbed her face too hard, her cheeks turned a little red, making her skin look even whiter like jade.
The warm yellow candlelight reflected on her face, giving her a warm and soft halo.
Li Qingyan couldn't help but lower his head and slowly approached her.
Yun Kexin watched his handsome face getting closer and closer, and her heart beat faster.
She closed her eyes subconsciously.
However, she waited for a long time but did not receive the expected touch.
She opened her eyes in confusion, only to see Li Qingyan's face less than an inch away from her.
The tip of his nose was almost touching the tip of hers.
They could both feel each other's warm breath.
But Li Qingyan did not go any further.
He whispered, "Whether you believe it or not, I was sincere when I prayed in the hall just now."
Yun Kexin looked at him in a daze.
It was she who came up with the idea of fake marriage.
Normally the village is full of people, and it is difficult for a wounded Li Qingyan to escape.
Only when she and Li Qingyan get married will the people in the village relax.
Tonight, all the people in the village have come to the Yun family for a banquet. Now the entire village is empty. It is the best time to escape.
Yun Kexin told Li Qingyan that this wedding was just a show and he didn't have to feel any burden.
But in fact, in her heart, she had already regarded this wedding as the only wedding in her life.
No matter what the future holds, at least at this moment, her love is complete.
Li Qingyan plucked the crabapple blossoms from her temples, and personally helped her to tie up her long black hair into a simple bun. He then pulled out a wooden hairpin from his sleeve and inserted it into her bun.
"It stands to reason that a marriage should have a token of love, but I don't have anything to show for it right now, so I had to make this wooden hairpin. Even though it's a little shabby, it's still a token of my love, and I hope you don't mind."
Yun Kexin raised her hand and touched the hairpin on her head, and couldn't help but smile.
She wrote on the small blackboard: I like it very much, thank you.
Li Qingyan whispered, "I should go now."
The light in Yun Kexin's eyes disappeared in an instant.
Li Qingyan looked at her lost look, and couldn't bear it, so he said softly, "Will you come with me?"
Yun Kexin shook her head and wrote on the small blackboard: I can't abandon my mother.
Li Qingyan: "You can take her with you."
Yun Kexin wrote: My mother's family are all here, she won't be willing to leave here.
Li Qingyan sighed.
…
Good morning everyone!
