But everyone reacted quickly, knowing that today was a good day for the two of them. They quickly wiped away their tears, said a bunch of auspicious words to them, and then let them go.
Grandpa Ma had made preparations well in advance; as soon as the two of them called him from this side, he could go out directly.
It's worth mentioning that he thoughtfully hung a small red flower on each of the cow's two horns.
Considering the cold weather, the elderly couple from the Ma family even made a coat for the ox out of an old cotton quilt. Whenever they need to pull a sled, they will put the "coat" on the ox.
Sheng Yi and Zhu Qing had prepared wedding candies beforehand, and as soon as they saw Grandpa Ma, they handed him a bag of candies.
This time, he didn't refuse at all, happily accepted it, and then blurted out a long string of heartfelt blessings.
Seeing this handsome and kind-hearted young couple finally come together, Grandpa Ma was genuinely happy for them.
Things went smoothly from there. The two went to get their marriage certificate together, and then took their marriage certificate to a photo studio to take pictures as a memento.
Because the Chinese New Year was approaching, and developing photos takes time, they knew from the beginning that they wouldn't be able to get the photos in a short period of time, so as planned, they took the photos and left.
Although they didn't waste much time along the way, the journey was still quite long, and they didn't walk as fast as usual in winter, so by the time they returned to the team, it was already time for dinner.
The wedding banquet was arranged in advance by Si Tian and several close aunties in the team, and they were very helpful, having taken care of everything perfectly before the two returned.
Because the infirmary was too small and Zhu Qinghao didn't want Sheng Yi to spend money to build another house, the banquet was held in Zhu Qinghao's courtyard.
The two agreed that after getting married, Sheng Yi would move in with them before returning to his unit.
The wedding ceremony at that time was also very simple. Under the command of the brigade leader, the newlyweds held the quotations of the great man together, and after the vows were completed, the wedding was completed.
In the end, Zhu Qinghao felt that the day, which she had originally thought would make her very nervous, had passed by as she went through the process.
It seems that apart from that brief moment in the morning, she barely had time to be nervous.
After seeing all the guests off in the evening, Zhu Qinghao returned to her room, closed the door, threw herself onto the bed, and then let out a long sigh of relief.
"Ugh, I'm so tired. This feels even more tiring than the autumn harvest!"
Sheng Yi brought a basin of hot water from the kitchen, wrung out a towel, and began to wipe her face, without making any attempt to wake her up.
Zhu Qinghao was too lazy to get up. Thinking she should just enjoy herself, she lay there motionless and even closed her eyes in a very cooperative manner.
After washing her face, Sheng Yi helped her wash her feet as well, and while washing them, he also carefully massaged them for her.
Those hands seemed to have magic power. When she pressed down, she felt a sore and swollen sensation, but after pressing for a while, Zhu Qinghao felt all the fatigue in her body slowly dissipate.
Perhaps she was exhausted from the day, because while enjoying this moment of peace, Zhu Qing unknowingly fell asleep.
When she suddenly woke up, she opened her eyes to find Sheng Yi still carefully massaging her, and the water in the foot basin was still hot. She didn't know if Sheng Yi had added hot water or if she hadn't slept for long at all.
Noticing her movement, Sheng Yi looked up with a gentle expression:
"Awake? You must be exhausted today. Why don't you get some rest?"
Zhu Qinghao did feel very tired. Although she had relaxed quite a bit, she still wanted to sleep.
So when she heard the suggestion, she immediately nodded obediently.
"Um."
Zhu Qinghao was fast asleep, her expression extremely gentle, completely different from the one Sheng Yi usually saw. This made him feel a pang of pity, and he even forgot what he was doing.
