"Dong, dong, dong,"
As soon as Zou Zhou finished speaking, someone knocked on the door.
"Are they coming? I didn't hear the sound of firecrackers." When Li Xi was in the village, he saw girls from the same village getting married. When the groom went to the bride's house to pick her up, he would set off firecrackers at the door of the house, making it lively and lively.
"Maybe we didn't hear it. Let me open the door a crack and take a look."
Zou Zhou was afraid that she couldn't block the door alone, so she called Li Xi to join her.
Erhe just joined in the fun, and the happy days became more and more prosperous, as long as nothing was out of the ordinary.
"Huh?"
I heard Zou Zhou's puzzled voice, "Uncle, who are you looking for?"
The person standing outside the door was Nie Ming. They split into two groups. Aunt Nie and her two granddaughters went to Ku Shui Village to deliver the dowry, while Nie Ming went to the guesthouse.
How could he, as a father, be absent when his daughter gets married?
"I'm looking for Erhe,"
Erhe heard the sound and looked towards the door. Nie Ming also looked into the room, and the father and daughter's eyes met.
Compared to the turbulent emotions in Nie Ming's eyes, Erhe seemed much calmer. Many things just needed to be thought through, and she just needed to do her best. As for the people in the Nie family, no matter whether it was the love between parents or sisters, it was all about fate.
Zou Zhou couldn't guess the identity of the visitor, so he asked uncertainly, "Erhe?"
"He is Commander Nie."
Erhe introduced.
Hearing this name, Nie Ming felt a pain in his heart, but he also understood that many things cannot be rushed.
However, Zou Zhou and Li Xi knew Nie Ming's identity, and the two girls were a little restrained. Firstly, he was Erhe's biological father, and secondly, the commander was a very high-ranking official. Both of them had never seen such a high-ranking official, so they felt restrained.
"Well, talk to each other, we'll go to the state-owned restaurant and buy you some food."
The groom would not come until at least noon, and the three of them were hungry. They couldn't stay hungry all day. They still had something to do in the afternoon, so they had to eat.
The two men took the money and went out, looking at Erhe worriedly before leaving.
Erhe nodded slightly.
Nie Ming is obviously upright and would not bully a girl like her.
"I'm here to get you married." Nie Ming, a soldier, always insisted on being straightforward. Beating around the bush wasn't his style. "I said I'd give you an explanation about what happened before. The army had a mission a month ago, and I couldn't let personal matters interfere with military duties, so I came back late."
Erhe believes this explanation.
She believed that soldiers would not lie, and Nie Ming, the commander of a military region, would not joke about such things.
"Thanks."
There was nothing else to say. Nie Ming had a good intention, and she didn't want to create any ugly scenes at her wedding.
Nie Ming also admired Erhe's magnanimity.
Those who achieve great things do not care about trivial matters. Erhe is clear about gratitude and resentment. Although she is a girl, she is generous and sensible.
"Then I'll stay outside and come over when you get married."
After all, they were not familiar with each other and there was not much to talk about. It was also the house where his daughter was getting married, so it was not convenient for Nie Ming to stay there for long. Even when they were talking before, the door was always open.
Now that he had finished speaking, Nie Ming walked outside on his own.
This is an upright person.
Erhe thought.
Another ten minutes passed.
Zou Zhou and Li Xi came back with some shopping: hot white bread, a bowl of braised pork, and a bowl of egg soup.
"We talked for a long time before the chef agreed to let us take out the bowls, and we have to return the bowls to them after we finish eating." Zou Zhou laughed as he spoke. Erhe moved the only small table in the room over and asked them to put down the bowls.
"I'll give you the total amount of money and the tickets."
She had invited Zou Zhou and Li Xi to accompany her at her wedding, so it would be inappropriate to ask them to pay for it.
"No need for money, Sister Erhe. Yesterday before we came to the guesthouse, Brother He Zheng stuffed some money and tickets into my pocket and told me to buy you something delicious today."
Zou Zhou immediately said, "I can't tell, Erhe, your husband may look rough, but he's actually quite considerate."
Erhe had long experienced He Zheng's attentiveness, and this attentiveness made her feel very comfortable.
"Eat quickly."
There were definitely not enough stools in the room, so they could only stand. Erhe glanced outside and said, "Commander Nie, if you haven't eaten yet, come and have something with us."
Nie Ming indeed didn't eat, or rather, he was not in the mood to eat. He was also embarrassed to eat together with three young girls.
But he didn't want to let Erhe down.
So I walked in and got a white bread.
"Wait," Erhe called out to him, picked up another bun, and found a folding fruit knife from the cloth bag thrown next to her.
She also got this knife from a department store and kept it in her bag for self-defense.
"Erhe, do you need a knife to eat buns?" Zou Zhou asked curiously.
Erhe explained directly with actions. She used a knife to cut the meat bun in half, and then put a few pieces of braised pork in it. Although it could not be compared with the delicious roujiamo in later generations, the white bread tasted much better. She made two such meat-filled buns for Nie Ming.
There's nothing I can do about soup, but there's a kettle with hot water in the room, so I just pour a cup of hot water.
Nie Ming drank hot water and ate steamed buns with meat, then looked at Erhe who was eating steamed buns in big mouthfuls in the room.
Who said this girl is bad?
This girl is obviously very good!
After they finished their brunch, Zou Zhou took the dishes and chopsticks back to the state-owned restaurant.
Erhe rinsed her mouth carefully again.
After waiting for less than half an hour, I heard the sound of firecrackers coming from outside in the distance.
"Here they come, here they come," Zou Zhou and Li Xi looked much more excited than the bride.
Watching the two of them running around like headless flies.
Erhe couldn't help but remind him, "What are you still standing there for? Close the door quickly. If you haven't given enough red envelopes, don't open the door."
"Ah, can it be like this?" Zou Zhou blinked his innocent big eyes.
Li Xi said, "Sister Erhe, is this considered as turning your elbow outward?"
"Forget it."
Erhe nodded seriously, which made Zou Zhou and Li Xi laugh. They hurried over to close the door. Just then, He Zheng led Li Dong and He's cousins into the guesthouse. Seeing that the door was about to be closed, He Zheng sprinted over and stuck his foot in the door in time.
The door couldn't be closed.
Erhe shook her head in disappointment at these two innocent little girls.
The combat effectiveness is too weak.
He was not too weak. He Zheng didn't even ask the best men for help. He pushed the door open by himself.
Holding a handful of plastic flowers in his hand, he rushed to Erhe, smiling happily.
"Erhe, I, I'm here to marry you, come home with me."
It's amazing that he only managed to come up with these two sentences after practicing for an entire night.
Erhe stood still, looking at the flowers in his hand.
He Zheng was a little anxious, "Erhe, you..."
You're not regretting it, are you?
If she dared to go back on her word, he would carry her on his shoulders and back to the bridal chamber. After all, Erhe must be his wife.
Erhe looked at him, the smile on her lips widening little by little, "Why don't you give me the flowers."
