Chapter 143 Picking Up the Bride
Song Shuyan tugged at the hem of his wedding dress, feeling uncomfortable. The phoenix tail embroidered with gold and silver threads sparkled brightly.
She looked up at Qin Fei, covered her mouth with her sleeve and whispered, "Qin Fei, should I change back into my old clothes? Isn't it too early to change into this wedding dress? I think it's not too late to change before going out."
“No, no, no!”
Qin Fei quickly held her down and said with a smile, "Hey, this dress is so beautiful! There's only one day in our lives where we can wear a dress like this openly. Why would we want to change it back?"
She lowered her voice and said, "Besides, since Aunt Lan dared to give you this wedding dress, it means it's okay to wear it outside."
Song Shuyan thought so too.
Even if the sky falls, it won’t be her turn to hold it up.
Xiaohe Village is on holiday today, and no one has to go to the fields. There are two brides in the village, and they take turns visiting their parents.
As soon as they saw it, some people started comparing it.
"Oh my goodness, I just came from the captain's house. I thought Mingzhu's dress was pretty good, but I didn't expect Song Zhiqing's dress to be even more... how should I put it? Even more dazzling!"
"That's right!"
An older grandmother laughed and said, "You guys are just surprised by what you've seen. In the past, when people in the city got married, they would dress like Song Zhiqing!"
This grandmother used to be a servant in a wealthy family in the city, and she had seen the young ladies of that family get married, which was called a ten-mile red wedding.
In fact, many city dwellers still have some clothes hidden in the bottom of their closets that they dare not wear.
Gao Sulan gave Song Shuyan this wedding dress.
It was the good material stored at home, and she had it custom-made by a tailor privately, and she also asked for the size that Mrs. Song wanted.
Ji Chi felt bad when he saw Xue Huaizhou, who was also having a wedding banquet today and had changed into new indigo clothes.
It looks weird, as if Shu Yan is going to marry Xue Huaizhou!
He didn't feel comfortable squeezing into the next room to see Song Shuyan. The door to the female educated youth's room was blocked by aunts and children who were there to see the bride.
Everyone was reluctant to leave.
Those coming from behind can never get to the front.
"Let me see, let me see!"
Many children jumped up at the back of the crowd, regretting that they had gone to Sister Mingzhu's house first.
"Hahaha!"
"Why are you so anxious? Wait until Song Zhiqing comes out, and then you'll be able to see it, right?"
Song Shuyan, who had dressed up, sat there dryly, her face flushed red from everyone's undisguised admiring gazes.
Helan felt very sad.
After Qin Fei moved out a few days ago, she asked him indirectly how he got his job, but Song Shuyan didn't know the answer and evaded the question.
Just now she asked Qin Fei privately, but Qin Fei avoided the question.
So stingy!
A hint of envy flashed in Chunmei's eyes.
It’s really lively today, the bride is very beautiful and her dress is very nice.
It wasn't like any wedding she'd ever attended.
The bride would just change into an ordinary red dress or a red jacket.
Her cheeks were painted red, and she looked very happy.
Song Shuyan wore no makeup, her lips were naturally red, her hair was tied up and pinned with a few red pearl flowers, her skin was as white and translucent as porcelain, and she was beautiful yet aloof, just like a fairy concubine.
Qin Fei couldn't take his eyes off her and said bluntly, "Shuyan, if I were a man, I would also want to marry you!"
Song Shuyan raised the corners of his lips and glared at her, his eyes moving around, teasing her without him realizing it.
Qin Fei screamed in his heart!
Aaaaaahhhhh!!!
Zhou Jingshen got a bargain.
I really envy him, he got the beauty so easily!
In the family compound, Zhou Jingshen, dressed in a neat military green casual suit, looked at his watch again and again.
Gao Sulan smiled and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, the auspicious time hasn't arrived yet."
I don’t know whether I was saying this to myself or to Zhou Jingshen.
Outside the door were several jeeps borrowed from Hua Guanxue, with flowers made of red silk pasted on the bodies.
The soldiers in charge of picking up the bride were in high spirits and ready to go. They were just waiting for the order from Battalion Commander Zhou to set off immediately to pick up their sister-in-law.
Gao Sulan looked at her watch and counted the time. "Okay, the auspicious time has arrived. Let's go!"
Zhou Jingshen strode out and got into the car.
Gao Sulan was not going. She had to go to the cafeteria to check and the evening dinner could not be ruined.
Yesterday, Zhou Jingshen took his men up the mountain and hunted a lot of prey. He left half for Xiaohe Village and brought the other half back to the camp.
In addition, he supplemented the food supply at his own expense.
Treat the soldiers to a good meal in the evening.
“Here it comes, here it comes!”
As the jeep arrived at the village entrance, children ran into the village happily to report the news.
"The car to pick up the bride is here!"
Shouted all the way to the Youth League Home.
Song Shuyan was shocked. It finally came.
She now had only one thought: to end it quickly.
She was really tired and hungry, and she couldn't eat anything. She didn't dare drink too much water for fear of going to the toilet.
You should also keep your back straight and maintain a dignified posture.
"etc!"
An auntie called out, "Hey, who's going to carry Song Zhiqing out later? We have a rule here that the bride can't touch the ground when she goes out!"
Qin Fei frowned. There was such a rule, but Shuyan's family didn't come!
She thought, if it really didn't work, she would do it, Shuyan should be able to carry it.
The young men outside who heard it were excited. They looked at each other, wanting to seize the opportunity, but were too shy to speak.
Everyone stared at the aunt eagerly, hoping that she would pick on them.
Ji Chi pushed through the crowd and said, "Let me do it."
Qin Fei raised the corners of his lips and nodded, "Okay."
Song Shuyan acted like a puppet at their mercy, and whatever they said was what she took.
She has never been married and doesn't understand these things.
Zhou Jingshen got out of the car, his face full of smugness, his deep facial features less cold than usual.
"Here comes the groom!"
"Here comes the groom!"
Ji Chi felt depressed when he heard this.
He squatted down in front of Song Shuyan and said, "Come up!"
Song Shuyan looked at his thin shoulders and reminded him softly, "I'm a bit heavy, can you carry me?"
Ji Chi gritted his teeth and said, "Yes!"
He picked the man up on his back, weighed him, and snorted in his heart, "Where is he heavy?"
Song Shuyan was caught off guard and exclaimed "Ah".
A pair of small hands wrapped loosely around his neck.
When Zhou Jingshen saw Ji Chi carrying Song Shuyan, who was dressed in red, out, his eyes darkened and he reached out his hand to take the person.
"Let me do it."
"well!"
"no!"
Song Shuyan's aunt, who had been with him in the house for most of the day, quickly stopped him and said, "Carry the car up!"
"It's not that far off!"
Ji Chi raised an eyebrow at Zhou Jingshen, dodged his outstretched hand, and walked towards the jeep with Song Shuyan on his back at steady pace.
Zhou Jingshen withdrew his hand that was hanging in the air, glanced at Ji Chi, and thought, "Forget it. It's a happy day, so I won't bother with this kid."
Song Shuyan sat steadily in the car and thanked Ji Chi in a low voice.
Ji Chi felt sour, but he tried to act calm and said with a calm smile, "You're welcome."
Qin Fei followed him into the car. She was the bridesmaid today and had to accompany Song Shuyan to the family compound.
The captain breathed a sigh of relief only after watching the jeep leave the village.
Today, the limelight was stolen by Captain Zhou and Song Zhiqing, and his daughter Mingzhu was very unhappy!
