Chapter 36: Pick Up the Bride

The Qian family and Mr. Rong brought a lot of luggage this time. Except for the luggage for Qian Xiaolan, the rest were for everyone in the Gu family.

Even Gu Shengli, his brother-in-law, was not left out.

The two families gathered together for a lively dinner, talked about their two children's weddings, and then separated.

Getting married is very simple in this era, and decorating the wedding room is even simpler. All you need to do is cut some red Double Happiness stickers.

The wedding house was still booked at Gu's house, and they would move to the courtyard the next day.

Therefore, Qian Xiaolan got married in the courtyard the next day.

Early in the morning, Qian Xiaolan was woken up by Rong Qian, who had not slept all night.

After washing up, Qian Xiaolan put on a red wool coat that Rong Qian brought her.

The bright red color makes Qian Xiaolan's skin look even whiter and more translucent.

Rong Qian looked at her with both relief and sadness in her heart, and she took out her makeup bag to put on makeup for her.

"Mom must dress our Lanlan up as the most beautiful bride today."

As her hands moved, Qian Xiaolan's makeup was gradually completed, and her tears finally fell.

Her daughter is so beautiful!

She is even more beautiful than she was back then.

But such a good daughter was not brought up by my side.

Qian Xiaolan looked up and saw Rong Qian's tears. She hugged her helplessly: "Mom, don't be sad. Even if I get married, I'm still your daughter."

"Yeah, yes, you will always be our daughter."

Rong Qian wiped away her tears and took Qian Xiaolan out for breakfast.

There are three tables for breakfast today. In addition to our family members, there are also villagers who come to help.

Not long after the meal, the bride's reception arrived.

They were stopped outside the door by Qian Rongsheng and Gu Yujiao.

When Brother Gu San saw his own sister blocking the door, he was so angry that he yelled, "Gu Yujiao, you traitor, have you forgotten your last name?"

Gu Yujiao put her hands on her hips and said to him: "It doesn't matter what my last name is now, what's important is that I am now the bride's good sister.

If you want to pick up the bride smoothly, you have to give a red envelope."

Gu Yujiao's sister agreed: "Yes, give a red envelope."

Before Third Brother Gu could say anything, Gu Yanqing took out a stack of red envelopes and handed them over.

"Okay, we've passed the first level, but there are still two more levels to go."

Gu Yujiao took the red envelope swiftly, walked aside and made a face at Third Brother Gu.

Humph, little guy, it won’t be that easy later.

The second checkpoint was guarded by Qian Rongsheng and a few young men.

He looked at Gu Yanqing and asked him, "What if my sister wants to go home?"

Gu Yanqing answered without thinking: "If I have time, I will accompany her.

If she doesn't have time, she will ask someone to go back with her."

"What if my sister wants to come home and live longer?"

"As long as Xiaolan is happy, she can stay as long as she wants. After all, my job means she'll often be alone at home. It would be better if you guys were with her when she goes back."

Qian Rongsheng was quite satisfied with Gu Yanqing's answer. He nodded and asked him to do another 200 push-ups before letting him go.

The next level is guarded by two old men.

I don’t know how it is to pick up the bride in other places, but this is unique in Qingshan Village.

Everyone who came to join in the fun was a little dumbfounded, and once again realized that the Qian family valued Qian Xiaolan very much.

This dispelled the rumors in the village that "the Qian family returned to the city to enjoy a good life and left Qian Xiaolan alone because they disliked her growing up in the village."

Those who spread the rumors were severely slapped in the face. Even though no one noticed, they still silently lowered their heads to reduce their presence.

Mr. Qian and Mr. Rong looked at each other, and Mr. Qian smiled and said, "We two old men only have this one granddaughter (granddaughter-in-law), and because of the villain's deliberate mischief, our relatives have been separated for so many years.

Now that we have just met, she is going to get married, I really can't bear it.

However, the Gu family is really kind, and we cannot go back on our word, so today we two old men are shamelessly coming to join in the games you young people are playing."

"Today, as long as you, Yan Qing, pass the test of the two old men, we will not only let you take Xiaolan away, but also give you a big gift."

Gu Yanqing was so nervous that his hands and feet were sweating, but he didn't show any sign of it on his face. He said solemnly, "Please ask grandpa and grandfather to give us the questions."

Mr. Qian chuckled and suddenly asked, "How much is one pound of eggs, brown sugar, rice, flour, and salt?"

Gu Yanqing was stunned, but was brought back to his senses by Brother Gu San. Seeing everyone gesturing to him excitedly, he realized that he had not heard wrongly.

He did not look at anyone else, but stared straight ahead and answered loudly:

"Grandpa, eggs are 50 cents a pound, brown sugar is 50 cents a pound, rice is 15 cents a pound, white flour is 18 cents a pound, and salt is 13 cents a pound."

Mr. Qian laughed and said, "Okay, I've passed this level."

Onlookers: “…”

City people really know how to have fun. They actually use this to test the groom. Do they want Gu Laoba to be the head of the family in the future?

Mr. Rong continued, "If you and Xiaolan disagree in the future, whose opinion will prevail?"

Gu Yanqing thought for a moment and replied, "Grandpa, I won't listen to anyone. Let's calm down for two days before bringing up the topic again."

"Okay, this is how a couple should live. They can't be partial to one another, and they can't lose their principles. I've passed this test."

Qian Xiaolan found it funny and heartwarming to hear what she heard in the house.

These two elders really lost all their dignity for her.

Outside the door, the two old men smiled at each other, and Mr. Qian took out an envelope from his arms and handed it to Gu Yanqing.

"This is a gift from our elders to you."

"A gift from an elder cannot be declined, so Yan Qing accepted it."

Gu Yanqing took it with both hands and stood in front of Qian Xiaolan's door.

"Xiaolan, I'm here to take you home."

Qian Xiaolan was originally in a relaxed mood and had been listening to the excitement with her ears perked up. But when she heard Gu Yanqing's voice, she unconsciously tightened the handkerchief in her hand.

Seeing this, Gu Yujiao and her sisters looked at each other, laughed, and rushed forward to hold the door:

"Fourth brother, if you want to get the bride, you have to give us a red envelope. If we are not satisfied with the red envelope, then don't come in."

Gu Yanqing had no choice but to stuff six red envelopes into the door.

Gu Yujiao shouted again: "Fourth brother, six more."

Brother Gu couldn't stand it anymore and yelled at the door: "Gu Yujiao, which side are you on?"

Gu Yujiao raised her voice: "I am on Xiaolan's side now. I am from her family."

"Gu Yujiao, you have no respect for your elders. That's your fourth sister-in-law!"

Gu Yujiao put her hands on her hips and said, "I don't care. She hasn't married yet, so she's still a free person and my good sister. She will be my fourth sister-in-law when she comes to our house."

Gu Yanqing felt that his younger sister was right, and silently stuffed six more red envelopes in.

The door finally opened, and Gu Yanqing and Qian Xiaolan's eyes collided in the air, and they could no longer look away.

Her skin is as white as cream and her face is as red as rouge.

Handsome, elegant and handsome.
