Chapter 6
**
Well, after writing about the engagement day, let me write about the recent events first.
After getting the marriage certificate, my brother and I went to visit his grandparents that weekend. It took more than 6 hours to drive from Shanghai to his grandparents' hometown. Although I have good driving skills, I have never driven on the highway in recent years. My brother didn't agree to let me drive and just asked me to sit next to him.
When we arrived at a rest stop along the way, we strolled out to eat something. Brother 6 bought me some small wontons that I liked. I ate half of it, but when I felt greedy, my eyes glanced at the pickled mustard greens and meat pie stall on the side.
I've always been far less interested in delicacies than junk food and street snacks. I stared at the pancake for a while, then turned to look at Brother 6. He caught my gaze and touched my head helplessly, "You want to eat pancakes?"
I immediately blinked and nodded to act cute.
"Okay, I'll buy it for you later."
After eating wontons, Brother 6 took me to buy pancakes. After buying one, I was so happy that my face was dancing with joy. Seeing this, he took out his phone and said, "I'll buy you another one."
I pinched the pancake and said, "It's very big, enough to eat."
"I bought some to eat later when I'm hungry on the way."
When I came out with two pancakes in my hands, Brother 6 took me to buy some fruit. I was in such a good mood while biting the pancakes. He looked at me for a while, chuckled, and said to me, "Come on, lend me a pancake."
I gave him the pancake, and he took out his phone to take a picture of the pancake, and then posted it in the family group of us and my parents.
The post also reads: [Sangsang is happier to see Dabing than to see his own mother.]
Tsk, shouldn’t you praise me for being a good fairy who is easy to support?
When we finally arrived at my grandparents' house, it was about half past six. We had an appointment to have dinner at the hotel with my grandparents, my eldest brother and his wife in the evening.
Brother 6’s family is a big family. Including him, there are 10 brothers and sisters, a group of older brothers and sisters, and younger brothers and sisters. He is the sixth child in the family, but he is the fifth person in the family to get married.
I forgot to mention that on the day we got our marriage certificate, Brother 6 added me to his WeChat group of brothers and sisters. There were originally 14 people in it, and two brothers and two sisters were already married. The group stipulated that only those who were married could add their significant other to the group, so I became the 15th person to join the group.
In fact, as an only child, I am very envious of Brother 6's big family. Not only because he has a younger brother, Fatty, and the two brothers have a very good relationship, but also his brothers and sisters have a good relationship with him. They take care of each other, often make appointments to play together, and ask each other for help when there are problems. Moreover, Brother 6's brothers and sisters are all good-looking, smart, and have excellent jobs and partners.
Because I had met his family several times before, the elders and children in their family liked me very much. We had a very pleasant dinner that day. My eldest brother and his wife ordered many delicious dishes and treated us warmly. After the dinner, we went back to the hotel to rest and agreed to visit my grandparents' house the next morning.
Back at the hotel, I was changing clothes. Brother 6 finished changing his clothes and ran over. He suddenly picked me up, spun me around, kissed me, called me "wife", and then strolled off to take a shower. The whole process was smooth and without any pause.
I always feel that this guy is very cute and likes to act coquettishly when he is with me. Of course, I actually enjoy his stickiness to me. I remember when I went out to play with Princess Iron Fan and Tang Monk and his wife, Princess Iron Fan was really upset by the way we stuck together like conjoined twins, and she almost gave us the middle finger to express her contempt.
There's no way around it. We both have a side job, which is to be professional at showing off our love for a hundred years.
I got up the next morning and went to my grandparents' house.
My grandparents are both very kind and loving elderly people. Every time they see me, they hold my hand and smile until their eyes are narrowed. My grandfather was a very capable businessman when he was young, and he was also very thoughtful. You can chat with him for a long time. When I was playing at my grandparents' house, my great-grandmother who lived next door also came to see us.
My great-grandmother is over 90 years old and is the mother of my sixth brother's grandmother. Although she is old, she is very energetic, walks briskly, and can take care of herself. The old lady held our hands and gave us a lot of instructions and blessings.
At noon, my sixth brother's uncle treated us to a meal.
During the meal, my sixth brother's mother said to me, "Sangsang, you really are the most honored. Grandpa never came out for dinner at night before, no matter who invited him. But this time, he's been with you the whole time, from morning till night. And my eldest uncle, too, has specially turned down business and social engagements to have dinner with you."
Of course I am very happy. For me, being loved and cared for so much by Brother 6's family makes me feel very warm. From now on, it feels like I have a second home, with more family and kinship.
Brother 6 also drove the whole way back.
The weather was particularly bad that day, with strong winds and heavy rain. More importantly, there was heavy fog, and the visibility was very, very low. I could hardly see anything in front of me except fog. The most important thing was that we were driving at night on a winding mountain road. I was sitting in the passenger seat and looking at the vast expanse of white in front of me, and I was so nervous.
But Brother 6 always drove as steady as a rock.
Because he has a stable personality, he drives very steadily as well. He never honks his horn, gets angry or curses, or changes lanes or overtakes at random, so I always feel very safe when riding in his car.
After driving for an hour or two, Brother 6's mother saw that the mountain road was particularly difficult to drive and felt sorry for him, so she wanted to take turns driving with him. She told him to stop at the next rest area to switch seats. Without even turning around, he said, "You can just rest in the back seat. Sangsang prefers to drive with me."
After driving for a while, Brother 6 whispered to me, "Baby, the fog is too thick, please turn on the hazard lights for me."
I said "OK" and quickly helped him press the hazard lights. In foggy weather, hazard lights are used to remind cars behind to keep a safe distance and pay attention to safety.
When the fog cleared a little, he said, "Baby, please turn it off for me."
Because I was very tired these two days and got up very early, I was also very sleepy, but I knew that the driver was the sleepiest. Although he told me to go to sleep, I still felt that I had to insist on talking to him and feeding him water, so I forced myself not to sleep the whole time.
We got off the car at the rest area to rest for a while, and then he went to buy me my favorite pork pie with pickled mustard greens. After resting for a while, he got back in the car and continued driving. You know, he had been driving for three hours straight, and I really felt bad for him, but he still insisted that it didn't matter, there was still one or two hours left and we would be there soon.
"I'm not that squeamish,"
As we left the mountains, the road conditions became much better. He smiled and patted my head, motioning for me to hold the phone that was about to fall off the shelf. "Honey, are you hungry?"
I shook my head.
"Buy food later if you're hungry."
I looked at his quiet profile and thought to myself, in fact, in my earliest impression, including the very beginning of our relationship, Brother Liu was not a very mature boy who would take 100% responsibility for everything and anyone. During that time, he would habitually pay more attention to his own mood and physical condition, and he was not very good at taking care of others. Sometimes this even made me unhappy and sad.
But before I knew it, today, I realized that he had become such a responsible man. He would silently choose to put aside his own feelings and prioritize me and my family. He also would not ask for praise and affirmation from others and felt that doing these things was a matter of course.
Now, I feel very safe by his side and feel that I am always well protected and loved.
