Surrounded by everyone, Gu Wenqian went down to pick up the bride. Qiu Xiaochan was wearing a red suit jacket and sat cross-legged on the side of the bed. Her fair face was moist and tender, her eyebrows and eyes were as delicate as a painting, and her eyes were shining with brilliance. Gu Wenqian just felt that no adjectives were enough to describe her beauty at the moment.
He stood at the door and watched in a daze, until his cousin laughed out loud, and the villagers behind him joked, "The bride is so beautiful, but the groom looks stupid."
He added, "Hurry up and go in, the bride is waiting for you."
Gu Wenqian walked towards his bride step by step amidst the booing of the crowd. It seemed as if he had gone through a lifetime in just a few dozen steps. He could not think of anything else in his mind except the person sitting across from him and those smiling eyes. .
"Xiao Chan, we are married."
From today on, you are my wife, my lover who will grow old with me forever.
Qiu Xiaochan smiled brightly like a spring flower, "Well, we're married."
Gu Wenqian happily took her hand. He had longed for this pair of catkins in his dreams for a long time, and today he finally held them in his hands openly and aboveboard.
"Oh, the bride and groom are holding hands."
The two left the house amidst the laughter of the children, and Gu Wenqian wanted to take her around the village on a bicycle.
He stepped on the bicycle, waited for Qiu Xiaochan to sit on the back seat while supporting her waist, and set off with a kick. The cool autumn wind mixed with the smell of green grass in the countryside came to his nostrils. The sweet smell is the fragrance from the wife.
The car shuttled on the winding dirt land, starting from Qiu's house, passed the second and third brigades all the way, and gained a lot of attention, including Li San, who had proposed marriage to Qiu Xiaochan, and he had a relationship with the fifth team last month. Jiang Meixia from the brigade was married, and after getting the taste of a woman, she became more and more aware of it. She dreamed of Qiu Xiaochan for many nights, but today she suddenly saw her, and his heart melted at a glance.
This is what a woman should look like. My daughter-in-law has a dark face and a thick body. How can Qiu Xiaochan be so white and tender
Qiu Xiaochan sat sideways and didn't see the gloomy one-eyed eyes behind her. Seeing them would definitely make her sick and ruin her good mood today.
Nineteen tables were set up at noon in the Autumn Festival, and more people came than expected. My uncle’s family helped entertain the guests, while Zhang Daying was in the house to record the exchanges between people. Some gave gift money, some gave soap, and some gave washbasins. Yes, the square table is full of all kinds of things, and basically everything used in daily life is given away.
The bridegroom was dragged to drink by the crowd. Rural people don't have much leisure and entertainment on weekdays, and they are reluctant to spend money on wine. When they encounter such a happy event, they will naturally get drunk.
Qiu Xiaochan watched him eat the left cup and the right cup, and she didn't even care about the food, her face showed a trace of anxiety, but men and women had separate tables, in rural areas, men don't like drinking and women care too much.
Cousin Zhang Xiutian brought her two children to eat at the same table with her. Seeing that she was always looking in Gu Wenqian's direction, she teased, "Why, does my heart hurt? But everyone who gets married comes here like this. Don't worry, I think he can drink quite well." It looks like it's not bad to drink."
The cousin also said, "Yes, you must drink more when you get married. It's just once in a lifetime. Besides, how many of our men don't like drinking?"
The aunt at the same table was kind-hearted, afraid that Qiu Xiaochan would be ashamed, so she helped her back, "This Comrade Gu is from the city, and he is educated. He must not be like our rural guys. Xiaochan should be worried. .”
The cousin snorted and said, "It's nothing, don't people in the city stop drinking, she is just worried about her man."
The cousin said while feeding her son, "Women care about their men's right and proper things. If you don't eat this table, there will be nothing."
The implication is, "so many dishes can't stop your mouth".
The sister-in-law and the sister-in-law have never been very friendly. Although they only met for a few hours, Qiu Xiaochan can also see that the sister-in-law is competitive and not a good match.
Before the banquet was over, Gu Wenqian passed out drunk, his cousin helped him back to his room, Zhang Daying beckoned Xiaochan to go over, and whispered, "Take care of him, get some water for him to wipe his face."
The cousin also drank a lot, his face was flushed, and he smiled innocently from the side, "Young master can drink quite a bit, and it's more than a catty anyway."
It's okay if he didn't say anything, but Zhang Daying got angry when he said it, "I told you to take care of your brother-in-law and you didn't take care of it. What does it look like to be drunk on the wedding day?"
The cousin replied with a smile, "It's okay, I'll be drunk for half a day at most."
Zhang Daying gritted his teeth and patted him on the back, and walked out of the house with him.
Qiu Xiaochan looked at Gu Wenqian who was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, her breathing was even, her face was reddish, and she smelled strongly of alcohol, but she didn't seem uncomfortable.
She sighed and fetched a basin of water, dipped in a clean towel and wiped his face. As soon as it touched his forehead, she met his open eyes, which were clear and deep, without any confusion after drunkenness.
Qiu Xiaochan stared blankly and forgot to move, Gu Wenqian smiled and took her hand and put it on his hot cheek, moved along the cheek to his lips and kissed the back of his hand.
This light kiss made Qiu Xiaochan's heart palpitate, she wanted to withdraw her hand but was held tightly by him.
He put the towel on the bedside table, pulled hard with his palm, and Qiu Xiaochan fell on his body.
Qiu Xiaochan was very embarrassed, there are still so many people outside the house, if anyone doesn't pay attention to entering the house, she will be ashamed to death.
"Let go quickly, you're pretending to be drunk and I haven't settled with you yet."
Gu Wenqian put his arms around her back and let her lean against his chest, Qiu Xiaochan could even hear his heartbeat.
"You really want them to get me drunk?"
His deep voice rang in his ears, filled with the mellow smell of wine, Qiu Xiaochan felt that she was almost drunk without drinking.
"That's different. Although I don't want you to drink too much, you will pretend to be drunk, and you will no longer be the honest and kind Gu Wenqian in my heart."
He laughed, and the laughter passed through his chest to Qiu Xiaochan's ears, trembling intermittently.
He stroked her cheek and said, "Silly girl, I never said I was honest and kind."
Qiu Xiaochan tried to hold up her hands, but the moment she got up, his lips were covered by him. Those hot lips wrapped her tightly, and her mind went blank after kissing her, her whole body was weak and powerless, and she just stared blankly. She closed her eyes and let him kiss and kiss, even forgetting how to breathe, if he hadn't let go of her lips, Qiu Xiaochan would have suffocated herself to death.
His eyes were full of smiles, and he stroked her bright red cheeks and said, "What a silly girl, although I'm not drunk, I did drink too much. If I go out now, I will definitely be dragged by them to continue drinking. I will lie down for a while, and you Stay with me in the room."
Qiu Xiaochan nodded, "Then go to sleep."
She wanted to go back to the chair next to the bed, but he held her tightly, and in the end he could only move the chair closer, and was dragged by him like this, watching him fall asleep.
The bustle outside the house has not yet dissipated, but the house is quiet and beautiful. Qiu Xiaochan looked at Gu Wenqian, who was already asleep, and carefully depicted his eyebrows and eyes in her heart. She felt that she had fallen in love with this man thoroughly. If she didn't love him, she would never lose her heart for him , would not enjoy his kisses and hugs so much.
After the wedding banquet was over, someone entered the room to say goodbye to them, and saw that Gu Wenqian was asleep, so he didn't bother any more. Qiu Xiaochan moved out of the room to see off the guests with Zhang Daying.
"Xiao Gu is not bad, live your life well."
"Strive to conceive a big fat boy as soon as possible."
"Come on, the next time I come back is to drink the child's full moon wine."
The uncle's family stayed until the end, and there was a lot to clean up in the yard. My aunt and cousin rolled up their sleeves and worked in full swing. Qiu Xiaochan refused to let them help.
"Today you are the bride, the most precious, you don't need to reach out for these tasks."
Zhang Daying said, "Today is really thanks to you, otherwise Xiao Chan's marriage would not be so smooth, there are still a lot of untouched dishes at home, take them with you when you leave,"
The aunt declined, "I don't want to take it with you. You can keep it for food. Besides, we are all a family, so there is no need to be so polite."
"There's still a lot of meat left, sister-in-law, don't refuse, it's bad weather to keep it."
The aunt smiled, "Okay, then I will have the cheek to agree."
On the festive day, Zhang Daying didn't want to mention those unpleasant things, but he couldn't hold back and mentioned Qiu Shunwen and his wife to his sister-in-law.
"I really think I'm a guest. When I come, I sit at the dining table, and I don't say anything to help greet the guests. After eating, I wipe my mouth and leave. That child, Huzi, didn't even call me. I'm so angry that I can't do it."
Cai Daping comforted, "Isn't it enough for you to see clearly after all these years? It hurts your body, and you can't do it for those who are not filial."
Who doesn't have any trivial matters, even Cai Daping's relationship with her daughter-in-law is also very tense. Since ancient times, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been difficult to get along with, as long as they want to live freely.
In the evening, after the house was tidied up, my uncle and his family went back with a lot of braised pork and chicken. On the way, they met a group of people who asked them and they didn’t hide it. The result was that Chen Guilian went home and asked Qiu Shunwen to go to the old lady. There is meat.
She stood in the yard cursing, "The meat is so cheap that no one else will give it to my grandson. Your mother's brain will become more and more unclear."
Qiu Shunwen sat still on the bench, Chen Guilian pushed him angrily, Qiu Shunwen moved away with a frown.
Chen Guilian didn't expect that he would dare to step aside, and she raised her voice and scolded, "Hey, you still dare to stare at me, if I tell you to go, will you go or not?"
Qiu Shunwen replied calmly, "Don't look at me again, it's already what you want and don't care about Xiaochan's marriage, how dare you want this or that."
Chen Guilian's fire was immediately ignited, "Why, do you have a problem with me? Why don't I let you take care of it? Do you have this spare money at home? If you are useful and can make money, I will be happy to be a money-scattering boy, What kind of good life have I lived since I married you, did I spend the hard-earned money for myself? Or save it for the tiger to marry a wife later. "
Let her talk for a long while and Qiu Shunwen didn't move. When Huzi came back from playing outside, he heard her mother say that the old woman would give the meat to others, and they also made a fuss together. The stool in the courtyard fell to the ground, and the legs of the stool were split.
He frowned and said sharply, "I'm holding back because I'm afraid of you. Even if you say you want flowers today, I won't go. If you want to eat meat, you will spend money to buy it tomorrow."
This is the first time that Qiu Shunwen got angry at her since they got married. The look of eyebrows and eyes is still very bluffing. Chen Guilian took a quick breath, went back to the room with a cold snort, lay down directly to sleep, and didn't make dinner. The son is still a child, and his mother usually pampers the lawless, but today his father got so angry that even his mother didn't speak, so he naturally dared not speak up.
