After Xiao Fangyun was yelled at by Cuiping, her mind finally came to her senses and she hurriedly ran to the bed and sat down.
Su Nan and Liu Yu packed up the cosmetics and placed them in a bamboo makeup case. Then they put the bamboo case away in the wardrobe. Only then did they stand up straight and stay beside Xiao Fangyun in a daze.
At this time, the lively sound of firecrackers had begun to be heard outside the door, from the village entrance all the way to the Xiao family's door, accompanied by the ringing of bicycle bells, which was very grand.
The leader was the master of ceremonies of this wedding, who was also the Party Secretary of the next door village. Behind him was the groom, dressed in a neat army green uniform, black leather shoes, and with his hair gelled, he looked energetic and neat.
The tall man was riding on a bicycle, his handsome face was filled with a smile from the heart, the corners of his lips were almost raised behind his ears, and one could tell at a glance that he was in a good mood.
That's right, how could a groom have a sad face on his wedding day?
He was so happy that he finally married the girl of his dreams.
"Candy, wedding candy." A group of children stopped the convoy in front of the Xiao family's door and asked for candy with a smile.
A cousin behind Lu Zechen took out the wedding candies he had prepared long ago and handed them to the children one by one, saying, "Should I say something nice after taking the wedding candies?"
One of them, who looked about six or seven years old, happily peeled a candy and put it in his mouth. Upon hearing this, he hurriedly said, "I wish my brother and sister a son soon."
When Lu Zhengye heard this, he couldn't help but laugh. He turned to Lu Zechen and joked, "Did you hear that? Hahaha."
Lu Zechen's face flushed, he coughed lightly, and glared at him: "Stop talking nonsense, knock on the door quickly."
"Okay." Lu Zhengye collected the candies that had not been distributed, took two steps forward and knocked on the yard door.
The Xiao family relatives who were waiting inside knew that they would not let them in so easily, so they said loudly: "If you want to marry my beautiful wife, it depends on your sincerity."
"Dear uncles and aunts, our brother Zechen is truly sincere to his sister-in-law, as the sun and the moon can attest." Lu Zhengye also shouted loudly.
"After the bride is married, red envelopes will come knocking on the door."
Xiao, Fang and Yun, who were sitting in the house, listened silently to the conversation outside and couldn't help laughing.
Su Nan leaned against the window and looked at the Xiao family's friends and relatives who were crowded together blocking the door, and said with a smile: "It's quite interesting."
"It's true when you look at it this way, hahaha." Liu Yu continued.
"Your brother is blocking the door the hardest." Su Nan reported the battle situation in real time. He saw that Xiao Fangchi was trying his best to block the door, and even the veins on his forehead were popping out.
"He is most reluctant to see me get married." Upon hearing this, Xiao Fangyun couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips, but a hint of reluctance flashed in her eyes.
"I can see that." Su Nan turned around and looked at Xiao Fangyun. He saw the loneliness on her face, so he comforted her: "You are so close, you can still see each other often in the future. Don't be sad. It's a good day, so you should be happy."
Liu Yu touched Xiao Fangyun's back and said comfortingly, "Yeah, relax."
"I know." Xiao Fangyun gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hands, took a deep breath, and curled the corners of her lips.
"Oh, this groom is so generous." A sudden exclamation came from outside, and the yard door was pushed open by the people outside.
Su Nan quickly leaned back to the window and looked at the situation outside through the gap. The first person he saw was the man in the lead. He was handsome, tall, and extremely imposing.
It seems that Xiao Fangyun had told Lu Zechen before that her previous affair with Shen Mu did not have much impact on him, so it is impossible for him to come and marry someone so happily.
"Your husband is so handsome." Su Nan couldn't help but turned around and praised Xiao Fangyun.
Hearing this, Xiao Fangyun couldn't help but blush and stammered, "What husband?"
Su Nan didn't look at her again, but looked at the situation outside the window.
"There must be at least eighty-eight in this red envelope." An old lady handed a red envelope to Luo Qiongzhi, her mouth wide open in shock.
The highest record for opening red envelopes here was only ten yuan, but this kid gave out eighty-eight yuan in one go, not to mention the other small red envelopes.
"I've told him to stop smoking, but this kid just won't listen." Luo Qiongzhi's tone was distressed, but her face was as red as the big red ribbon tied to the bicycle outside the door, and she was extremely happy.
"Haha." Seeing Luo Qiongzhi's ungrateful look, the old lady couldn't help but curl her lips and snorted in jealousy.
"Eighty-eight opening package." Su Nan turned around and reported what he heard.
"They've started moving the gifts. There are three turns and one ring."
"Three turns" refers to a bicycle, a sewing machine, and a watch, and "one sound" refers to a radio.
"There was also two hundred yuan in cash, and everything else was wrapped in red cloth, so I couldn't see it."
Tsk tsk, this is quite a grand ceremony. No other family in the whole village has such a grand and prestigious wedding, right? I guess after a few days, all the young girls waiting to get married in the neighborhood will envy Xiao Fangyun.
Xiao Fangyun clutched her sleeves tightly, her heart pounding as if it was about to jump out of her throat in the next second. She had already heard Lu Zechen's voice.
At this moment, Xiao Fangchi appeared at the door of the room. He had a sour face, cleared his throat, and forced a smile: "Fang Yun, I'm here to take you out and serve tea."
"Oh, okay." Xiao Fangyun responded dryly. She was so nervous that she almost fell to the ground in a panic. Fortunately, Su Nan and Liu Yu were there to support her.
"Be careful. If you are so careless, how can I feel safe giving you to that brat Lu Zechen?" Xiao Fangchi walked over, grabbed Xiao Fangyun's arm, and cursed at her angrily.
If they remembered correctly, Big Brother, you are a few years younger than Lu Zechen, right? Besides, Lu Zechen is your legitimate brother-in-law. Is it really appropriate to call him a brat?
The three of them twitched their lips at the same time.
Xiao Fangyun pursed her lips and said nothing. Finally, Xiao Fangchi cleared his throat, took her arm, and walked outside.
"Look, here comes the bride."
"It's really beautiful! A beautiful girl from our Xiaojia Village is being sold to a boy from another village."
Amidst a discussion, Xiao Fangyun secretly raised her eyes and looked at the crowd, and immediately met Lu Zechen's gaze. They were both shocked and stunned for a moment, then they raised the corners of their lips and curved their eyebrows.
"Hurry into the main room and serve tea." Someone reminded.
The group of people turned to the main hall. At this time, Xiao Heguo and Yu Cuiping had already sat in the upper seats, and on both sides sat the respected elderly relatives of the Xiao family.
"When a couple ties the knot, it's also a time to pay their respects to their parents three times. According to tradition, the wedding day is also the day the son-in-law changes his name and is invited to tea."
"I bow to express my gratitude to my parents for their kindness in raising me."
"Two bows, I wish my father-in-law and mother-in-law good health and longevity."
"Bow three times and offer warm tea as a token of filial piety."
Lu Zechen and Xiao Fangyun took the teacups that had been prepared on the side, knelt down, kowtowed three times, then stood up and handed the tea to Xiao Heguo and Xiao Cuiping, saying, "Dad, Mom, please have some tea."
After the two elders finished drinking the tea, they gave red envelopes to the two newlyweds, and then began to serve tea to other elders in turn.
This is considered a courtesy.
