Days passed by, and the second day of the twelfth lunar month drew ever closer.
Yuan Shitou's heart grew increasingly tense.
Xiao Xiao acted as if nothing had happened, and dragged Yuan Shitou into the mountains to hunt.
It's winter now, so food is easy to store.
They need to hunt more game and store it in, so they can use it when they hold a wedding banquet on the second day of the Lunar New Year.
Soon, the twelfth lunar month arrived.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Yuan Shitou's good friends went to the village to borrow tables, benches, bowls, and chopsticks.
Several of my close female friends also came to help.
Prepare the ingredients for the food to be eaten on the second day of the Lunar New Year.
Xiao Xiao wasn't nervous at all; on the contrary, she was really looking forward to it.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, everyone surrounded Yuan Shitou, who was dressed in wedding attire, and Xiao Xiao as they bowed to heaven and earth.
Then they started toasting.
Yes, they worship Heaven and Earth.
In these mountains, weddings still involve bowing to heaven and earth.
The only difference is that after the wedding ceremony, the bride and groom will toast together.
Instead of staying in the bridal chamber and not being able to come out.
This wine was brewed by Yuan's mother herself, using only sweet potatoes.
Xiao Xiao had heard her grandfather say that sweet potato wine didn't taste very good.
But in these mountains, it's good enough to have wine to drink; who cares what kind of wine it is?
When toasting, Fan Tiesheng deliberately made things difficult for Xiaoxiao by asking her to sing a song.
He had heard Yuan Min say that Xiao Xiao sang very well.
But he had never heard her sing before, so on this special day, he wanted to hear her sing.
Xiao Xiao wasn't shy at all and sang a song (Romantic Story) with a smile.
Hearing everyone's enthusiastic response, they all said that Xiao Xiao's singing was really beautiful.
Clap your hands and ask her to sing another song.
Xiao Xiao really wanted to roll her eyes.
She loves to sing, but today is her wedding day, not her concert.
One song is enough, why sing another?
But today is her big day.
I didn't want to disappoint everyone.
So, at everyone's enthusiastic invitation, I sang another song, "Fate Brings Us Together from a Thousand Miles Away."
After she finished singing, Fan Tiesheng dared not let her sing anymore.
Although he was still somewhat unsatisfied, he knew Xiao Xiao's temper.
Besides, today is their wedding day, so it's best not to make too much of a fuss.
He obediently drank the wine.
After finishing the toasts, Xiaoxiao was exhausted.
These people are so difficult to deal with; she should go back and rest.
She didn't know what happened after that; she was just too tired to stay awake.
Yuan Shitou drank a lot of wine, and his face turned bright red.
Later, after being persuaded by Yuan's mother, everyone dispersed.
Yuan Shitou returned to the bridal chamber reeking of alcohol.
There was a shelf by the door with a basin of water on it.
I quickly washed up and went inside.
He thought to himself: Even if we can't consummate our marriage tonight, it would be nice to sleep with my wife in my arms.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw Xiao Xiao already fast asleep.
My heart is as soft as a puddle of water.
She couldn't wait to take off her clothes and lie down on the bed.
As soon as I lay down, I realized something was wrong.
When I lifted the blanket, a small head popped out from inside.
Who else could it be but Yuan Ping'an?
Yuan Shitou was taken aback when he saw Yuan Ping'an, and then asked:
"Ping An, what are you doing here?"
Still sleeping in our wedding bed? Do you want a beating?
He felt that Yuan Ping'an had come to cause trouble on purpose.
Therefore, there was a hint of threat in his words.
Yuan Ping'an said smugly, "If you dare to hit me, your aunt will hit you."
Yuan Shitou didn't believe him: "What do you mean?"
Did Xiao Xiao specially invite him?
"I came here specifically to press down on your beds."
This is a custom, don't you understand?
The two people's voices woke Xiaoxiao up as well.
She yawned and said, "What are you all arguing about?"
Yuan Shitou felt wronged and pointed at Yuan Ping'an to complain:
"Xiaoxiao, today is our big day. What kind of thing is it for you to be lying peacefully in this bed?"
Xiao Xiao glanced at Yuan Ping'an: "Didn't you say you were here to press down on the bed?"
Yuan Shitou, now showing some shrewdness, said to Yuan Ping'an:
"The bed has already been used, shouldn't you go back to your room to sleep?"
Yuan Pingan scratched his head: "But no one told me to leave."
Yuan Shitou: "Didn't I just tell you to leave?"
He thought to himself: Nobody told you to leave, are you going to stay in this bed forever?
If you're asleep, then where am I supposed to sleep?
This is my wedding night, they can't possibly send me out to sleep, can they?
Yuan Ping'an didn't back down at all: "What you said doesn't count."
"Hey, are you here specifically to cause trouble?"
By now, he had sobered up considerably.
He was frightened by Yuan Ping'an.
The two were arguing when they heard Yuan's mother's voice:
"Ping An, come back to sleep."
Yuan Ping'an agreed and got up to run outside.
Yuan Ping'an was also dressed in red today, and he looked particularly handsome.
After confirming that little Yuan Ping'an had left, Yuan Shitou quickly climbed back onto the bed.
Xiao Xiao said, "You should clean up the things on the bed first."
My whole body aches from being pressed down.
After saying that, he rolled inside.
I rolled the blanket in with me.
Yuan Shitou then remembered that there were still things on the bed.
I quickly grabbed a winnowing basket and cleaned everything up.
Seeing that Xiaoxiao was lying motionless inside, he quietly got onto the bed and slowly approached her.
My heart was pounding like a drum.
His hands trembled slightly when he reached out to hug the little one.
He finally held his beloved wife in his arms.
I'm so excited!
Actually, Xiaoxiao was awake. She was also very excited and embarrassed.
I don't know how to face Yuan Shitou?
He had no choice but to face inwards and pretend to be asleep.
She was puzzled when she saw that Yuan Shitou was holding her without making any other moves.
Does this person not know how to consummate the marriage?
Unbeknownst to her, Yuan's mother had already given Yuan Shitou a heads-up.
He was not allowed to consummate the marriage with Xiaoxiao too early.
Or should we let him sleep outside?
Wouldn't it be better to sleep soundly with your sweet and soft wife in your arms?
Why do you want to sleep outside?
So Yuan Shitou had no choice but to endure it.
But in his heart he was thinking that he was probably the unluckiest groom in the world.
He held his beloved wife in his arms, but could do nothing about it.
This is truly heartbreaking.
Xiao Xiao is also feeling bad.
Yuan Shitou held her without making any other moves.
There was a gun pointed at her, which made her very uncomfortable.
In addition, I had been sleeping face-in like that for a while, and I wanted to change my position.
Finally, I couldn't resist and rolled over.
Yuan Shitou was delighted to see Xiao Xiao's eyes open:
"Xiaoxiao, you're awake."
Then he said, "Xiaoxiao, go to sleep, I won't disturb you."
Xiaoxiao really wanted to complain: How can anyone sleep like this?
However, she still closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
I thought that as long as I fell asleep, it wouldn't be awkward.
But she overestimated herself; the more she tried to sleep, the less she could.
And she felt that thing was pressing against her, trying to make her surrender.
So she turned over and saw Yuan Shitou.
He exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Stone, why are you bleeding from your nose?"
Yuan Shitou felt an itch in his nose, and something was left behind.
He quickly reached out and touched his hand, only to be stunned to see it covered in blood.
