The fifth day of August is Xie Zhenghe’s wedding day.
With the precious gift of a peaceful full moon banquet, Xie Zhenghe's wedding day was particularly festive, and the gifts given by relatives and neighbors were much more valuable.
Although this was a second marriage, no one said much.
Whether it is the position of village chief that Xie Zhenghe is about to take over, or the position of manager of the brown sugar factory, neither should be underestimated.
Things are different now than before. No one dares to frown at him.
In the south, when people get married here, they have a meal in the morning, which is served as breakfast to relatives who come early, such as his uncle and the in-laws from Lao Xie's family.
Xie Zhenghe knew that Pan Yumei's elder and second sisters had helped her a lot, so he invited them as well.
Give Xie Laifu, Xiangzhi and Xianglan new clothes and let them go out to entertain their friends.
He was actually quite nervous. Although it was not his first marriage and his family didn't have much money when he got married for the first time, he emptied out their savings for his wedding, which allowed Pan Zhaodi to sit on the flatbed reluctantly.
When he went to pick up the bride the next day, he specifically asked Li Waishan for permission, gave the production team ten yuan, and used the team's tractor. He hung a large red silk ribbon on the hood of his tractor, which was given to him by Su Li last night, allowing him to pick up the bride happily.
Xie Zhengchuan and Su Li also got up early that day. The whole family dressed neatly and went to old Xie's house for breakfast.
This was Su Li's first time seeing a wedding of this generation, and everything she saw was strange.
The person who blew the bell at this time had not come yet. Su Li walked around and went into the kitchen again. Xie Zhengchuan, Li Dan and others all had breakfast in the kitchen.
Su Li sat down and sipped the porridge from the bowl.
"It's really fun. There will be some sound coming soon. I've never heard of it before."
Xie Zhengchuan looked at the joy in her eyes and chuckled, "Are you going to have a wedding night?"
"Is it okay?" Su Li's eyes lit up and he said so.
"Silly boy, there is no one who would cause trouble in my uncle's new house, but you can go and talk to my sister-in-law and watch others make trouble."
Su Li nodded, "Okay."
The most popular wedding items in this modern rural area are the three big things and the thirty-six legs, which are the sewing machine, the bicycle and the watch, or the old saying "three turns and one ring".
Thirty-six legs mean cabinets, floor cabinets, dressing tables and bunk beds.
A banquet with ten tables was prepared, and relatives and neighbors enjoyed the meal together.
Su Li had already bought the three major items for Xie Zhenghe. As for the thirty-six legs, the new house was still under construction and could be moved in before winter. The new furniture had also been placed on the wooden platform.
The wedding held by the eldest son of the Xie family for his second marriage made many young girls and wives envious.
At around eight or nine o'clock, the village tractor drove over. Xie Zhenghe, Xie Zhengyang, Xie Zhengchuan and several young men from the village got on the tractor together, along with several people who had blown the whistle.
They drove to Mrs. Liu's house with music and noise all the way.
Su Li had nothing to do, and the children were happy all day, playing happily. She didn't care about them and simply went to Xia Xiuzhi's room to see Ping An.
Ruobei is almost four months old now. He is chubby and very cute. He is either waving his hands or blowing bubbles at Su Li, which makes Su Li feel itchy inside.
Xia Xiuzhi saw how much Su Li liked Ping An,
"Since you like children so much, why don't you just have one? You already have two, and there are already many children in your family, so one more won't be a problem, right?" Xia Xiuzhi said.
Su Li was a little stunned when she heard Xia Xiuzhi say that. As for Xie Zhengchuan and her child, although they were very diligent in doing that, she had to take medicine all the time, so she didn't have any. It's not easy to wait for the policy to come out soon. At this juncture, does she want a child?
But Xie Zhengchuan looked like he really wanted it. He must be feeling insecure. In fact, he wasn't sure whether he would leave or not. If he left here, where would he go? In case he really left, if he had a child left with Xie Zhengchuan, he wouldn't be sad, right? Thinking of this, Su Li felt that it was okay.
"Well, you can consider it. The factory is already on the right track. With my big brother watching over it, nothing serious will happen. I'll ask Zhengchuan later." Su Li said with a blush.
"Hey, if you ask him, he will definitely want it. Sometimes when I look at the look in the third brother's eyes, it's as if he wants to eat you." Xia Xiuzhi hugged Ping'an and shook his little butt.
Su Li's face turned even redder.
"Ahem...By the way, second sister-in-law, didn't you ask whether Xia Zhi and Su Lan were in love with each other?" Su Li hurriedly changed the subject.
"Hahaha...it's so funny when you talk about this. Originally, I asked Xia Zhixiang to look at Su Lan, but he was busy working and only dared to look at her secretly during breaks. As a result, Su Lan's sister, Su Fang, always saw his furtive eyes and thought he was not a serious person. She guessed that he must have bad intentions, and she didn't give him enough food every day. Another time when he was peeking, Su Fang was standing in front of him, but he didn't notice. Guess what happened next?"
Su Li said politely: "How is it?"
"Su Fang put one hand on her waist and the other holding a rice spoon and asked him if he wanted to be a gangster so she could slash his head. Hahahaha... I was dying of laughter."
Su Li: “Hehe…”
Xia Xiuzhi laughed until tears came out of her eyes, "Hahahaha... Xia Zhi was so scared that he sat down on the ground, and even dropped the bowl in his hand. He said that he was here to see a match, and Su Fang blushed. They both blushed when they met. A few days later, Xia Zhi came to me and said that he liked Su Fang. He asked Su Fang, and Su Fang had no objection, so they got together like that."
Su Li continued, "It's true that they didn't know each other until they fought. Su Fang is two years younger than Su Li and three years younger than Xia Zhi. But it doesn't matter. Wait a few days and let Xia Zhi earn more money so that we can get married."
People in this generation generally get married at an early age, so Su Li was not surprised that Su Fang fell in love with Xia Zhi. In modern times, that would be premature love and must be stopped.
Xia Xiuzhi also nodded, "Isn't it? That's what I told him."
The two chatted for a while before they heard the sound of "thump thump thump" outside.
Xia Xiuzhi quickly stood up while holding Ping An in her arms, "Hey, the bride is here, let's go out and take a look."
"Hey hey!" Su Li agreed and left the house.
Xie Laifu, Xianglan, Xiangzhi and other children were holding a small basket to distribute wedding candies. He grabbed a handful and threw it into the sky. All the adults and children at the banquet rushed to grab them. Even her own five little kids went to pick them up from the ground.
Su Li looked at her and laughed.
After setting off a string of firecrackers at the door, Xie Zhenghe pulled Pan Yumei and Xiaodong into the yard. At the door, a cousin of Xie Zhenghe threw a handful of red paper and corn kernels on Pan Yumei's head. Xiaodong was so angry that he jumped up and down, chasing the man and beating him, causing the people around to laugh.
The musician began to play.
Xie Zhenghe helped Pan Yumei to lightly hit the corn and red paper on her head, but before he could hit her a few times, he was pushed into the room by several aunts from nearby rooms. A young man wanted to go up to the bride to make trouble, but he was beaten away by the aunts.
"You little bastard, your hair hasn't even grown out yet, what are you doing?"
"Come here, you guys, and see if I won't beat you up."
"Hahaha......"
Li Waishan pointed at Tian Laoshi and Daniu and asked them to help move two stools and place them in front of the entrance of the main room.
Xie's father and mother sat upright, and Li Waishan shouted beside them:
"Thank you to all the relatives and neighbors for coming to the wedding of Xie Zhenghe and Pan Yumei. Now the wedding will officially begin. Let me offer tea to my parents and thank them for their upbringing."
As Tian Laoshi was speaking, he brought a tray and Daniu handed a bowl of brown sugar water to Xie Zhenghe and Pan Yumei.
Two people knelt on the ground, shouting, "Dad, Mom, have some tea."
Thank you father and mother, saying "䗽" repeatedly.
He reached into his pocket, took out two red envelopes and handed one to each of them.
"Now, the next step is to thank relatives and friends for their blessings and bow in thanks."
When the two men bowed, a group of young men came up and pressed their heads and kissed them. Several aunts took off their shoes and ran after them to beat them.
It’s a happy occasion when you get married, and it’s festive when there are people making noise, so no one says anything. But Su Li doesn’t like this. Didn’t you see that Pan Yumei’s forehead was red from the collision?
"Stop making trouble. Didn't you see that your sister-in-law hit her forehead?" Xie Zhenghe stretched out his hands to protect Pan Yumei. Pan Yumei lay in Xie Zhenghe's arms, smiling sweetly.
"Yes, stop making trouble. Can't you see that Zhenghe is heartbroken? Go away..." Li Waishan scolded with a smile.
"Then the couple will bow to each other."
"Oh~" everyone cheered.
Xie Zhenghe looked at Pan Yumei. She was wearing a wedding dress that was bought for her by his third brother's wife. She had a big red flower on her chest. She was so beautiful. He finally married her.
Pan Yumei also looked at Xie Zhenghe. There were stars in that man's eyes, and all he had in mind was her. She finally married him.
Both of them had red eyes and they slowly bowed.
Su Li felt touched when she saw this, they both had suffered a lot and finally they were together, it was a perfect ending.
Li Waishan looked at the crowd and announced, "The ceremony is over. Let's go to the bridal chamber."
Xie Zhenghe and Pan Yumei were sent to the bridal chamber in a noisy manner.
Li Waishan, holding a lighted cigarette with one hand on his waist, said: "Everyone is ready, the meal will be served soon."
As soon as these words were spoken, those who were chatting or watching the fun quickly found a place to sit down.
