Winter in the north is bitterly cold.
But when the whole world is covered with pure white, it is another kind of dreamy romance on this festive day.
Tian Mi was woken up from bed by her elder sister in the morning. In the past, she didn’t understand why the bride had to be woken up by others on her wedding day. Couldn’t she get up herself
But when it happened to her, she understood it because she couldn't get up at all.
Most girls probably have some so-called pre-marriage phobia. Even if the other person is the one she longs for, she still can't help but worry about the unknown future before the final step.
She was tossing and turning with all these random thoughts, and she felt like she had just closed her eyes for a moment when she was called again.
However, she is young after all, and when she looked in the mirror just now, she was still a rosy-faced fairy.
As a bride, compared to the hustle and bustle outside the door, the room became a different world in itself.
Tian Mi put on her wedding clothes early, a brand new military uniform.
This is the reward given to her by Brigade Wang on behalf of the troops for her heroic rescue.
In fact, Tian Mi prepared her own wedding clothes, but after careful consideration, she still chose the military uniform. After all, compared with what she had prepared, she felt that the military uniform was more in line with the standards of this era.
In short, in this special era, moderation is the way to go.
But since it was the first time she got married in two lives, she also had her own little insistence, for example, her hairstyle. She changed the double braids that had always been the most common, and instead braided her waist-length hair into a fishbone braid from the top of her head to the end.
Finally, scatter some small plastic red flowers.
In fact, this kind of dress, especially the plastic flowers all over the head, is a bit rustic, but few people dress like this in this era, and Tian Mi is really beautiful.
Look, the military families who came early were praising him with all kinds of nice words, and even Tian Mi, who thought she was thick-skinned, couldn't stand it. She blushed and shrank in the room, pretending to be a lady.
The wedding date was half a month earlier than expected, but the day did not seem chaotic.
The good popularity of the eldest sister Tian Yu was fully demonstrated at this time. Several sisters-in-law came to help spontaneously early in the morning. Of course, the wedding banquet being arranged in the cafeteria was a big reason why it could be so orderly.
Originally, Tian Yu wanted to cook and arrange his sister's wedding banquet himself, but Tian Mi and the men in the family disagreed.
Are you kidding? Even if it’s a simple wedding banquet, it would still require several tables. Wouldn’t that be exhausting
It's better to spend some money on tickets and ask the quartermaster to help arrange it.
"Here comes the groom! Here comes the groom to pick up the bride!"
At nine o'clock in the morning, the tall, handsome and extremely cheerful Lou Luhui came on time to pick up his little bride, followed by a long line of people watching the fun and cheering.
In the room, Tian Mi was chatting with the only bridesmaid, the young lady Wang Xunyan.
Hearing the noise outside, they immediately looked out.
Unfortunately, the man was blocked outside the door by the military families and could not see anything.
Wang Xunyan stood up with a smile and said playfully, "Sister-in-law, I'll go check out the situation first and report to you in real time later."
"Puchi. Go quickly. I'm waiting for your report."
But it was obvious that Miss Wang was not a diligent person. After she went out for a while, she was dazzled by the lively scene outside. She even boasted of her identity as a member of the bride's family, squeezed among a group of people, and watched with laughter and joy as the sisters-in-law embarrassed Lou Luhui who was coming to pick up the bride, and at the same time she did not forget to grab a red envelope.
Hearing the noise, Tian Mi was really at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
However, she didn't have to wait long.
The sisters-in-law were particularly easy to deal with. After receiving the red envelopes, they welcomed people into the house neatly, and the festive words came one after another without any repetition.
When the man, wearing a brand new military uniform with a big red flower on his chest, stretched out his hand towards her with joy in his handsome eyes, Tian Mi suddenly felt that all her hesitation and tension disappeared at this moment.
This is the man she chose herself, who will accompany her for the rest of her life, including three meals a day and four seasons.
So, amid the good-natured cheers of the crowd, Tian Mi smiled and placed her hand into the man's warm palm.
Then they held each other's hands and walked all the way to their homes.
In fact, before Lou Luhui came back, he wanted to borrow Wang Lu's jeep to pick up the bride and take a ride around the island, but Tian Mi felt that it was unnecessary, and finally chose the most low-key way, holding hands and walking to the new house together.
Today is Saturday.
Along the way, little Chen Xun, who was on vacation, led his younger brothers and sisters to distribute candies to the little kids in the family area.
This day is not only a happy day for newlyweds, but also for children.
They all followed the newlyweds, laughing, making noises, and having fun.
They don’t care who’s getting married, they just want to have candy, lots and lots of candy.
When we arrived at the new house, my mother-in-law Zhong Yuxiu was already waiting there.
In order to prevent anyone from causing trouble for the bride, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law exchanged a few words. She then asked her son to send the person back to the room, and then she smiled and led Mei Zi to help entertain the guests.
During the event, Zhong Yuxiu's smile never disappeared for a second. She was carrying a big bag in her hand. When she saw people coming to congratulate her, she generously gave them candies, melon seeds and peanuts. If the environment did not allow it, she really wanted to carry a basket of wedding candies to give out to express her joy for her son's marriage.
The bridal chamber was decorated last night by Lou Luhui, her mother-in-law, Aunt Mei, Zhou Jianshe and a few others.
As the bride, Tian Mi only saw it now. In fact, most of the things in it were bought by herself, but when they were all laid out, there was a different feeling.
It seemed that at this moment, as she sat on the big red wedding bed, she suddenly felt a sense of reality.
This is where she and Lou Lu returned to their home.
"What are you looking at? Are you cold?" The wedding banquet was held in the cafeteria, so they could only take a short rest in the bridal chamber. Later they had to go to the cafeteria to toast the guests at the tables. Worried that his wife would be cold, Lou Luhui went to make a cup of milk powder and brought it over after settling her down.
Yes, it’s my wife. They had a wedding banquet today, so in this age when wedding banquets are more important than documents, they are already husband and wife.
Thinking that he had finally brought the girl home, Lou Luhui felt light and airy, as if he was walking on clouds. This feeling had continued from last night until now.
Tian Mi took the teacup and took a few sips before replying, "It's not cold. I didn't see anything, I just felt happy. This is our own home."
Hearing this, Lou Luhui sat down beside her, put his arm around her shoulders, and smiled gently, "Yes, our own home."
After taking two more sips, Tian Mi handed the teacup to the man's lips, motioning him to drink.
Lou Luhui shook his head and refused: "I don't like drinking this." Of course, the main reason was that milk powder was hard to buy.
"You have to drink today even if you don't like it. Don't you know that milk can dilute alcohol? Otherwise, if you get drunk during the toast, you won't be able to enjoy the night."
Obviously, there was no need to say the following words. Lou Luhui snatched the teacup from the little girl's hand with a red face, then tilted his head back and drank up most of the milk in the teacup in a "ton of ton of ton".
He licked his lips before standing up with a righteous look on his face: "I'll go make another cup."
".Puff!"
Thanks to the special nature of this era, although there were a lot of booing voices throughout the wedding, they were restrained most of the time.
The elder sister said that if it had happened a few years earlier, the wedding would have caused a lot of quarrels and all kinds of vulgar things would happen. She also listed some of the most common wedding night pranks. Tian Mi's scalp tingled after hearing this, and she was extremely glad that she didn't catch up with such a time.
No matter how happy she was, she absolutely could not stand that kind of vulgar wedding prank. If that really happened, she would definitely choose to get the marriage certificate directly without holding a wedding.
Of course, the reason why things are so stable today is partly due to the general environment, but more importantly, it is because Brigade Wang, as the witness, has played a great deterrent role.
Although Brigade Commander Wang usually looks like an old farmer, everyone is scared when he gets angry.
The wedding was going on in an orderly manner. After the oath ceremony, it was time for the final toast, which was also the most lively part of the entire wedding.
Men like to drink, and since the weather in the north is cold, many people like to have a few sips to warm themselves up.
Fortunately, even though they were drinking, everyone still remembered their identities. Even though it was Saturday, many people had to return to their respective posts after the banquet, so they all saved some time.
But even so, after the groom Lou Lu toasted at several tables, his handsome face was flushed, which made the big red flower on his chest look even more festive.
Tian Mi was not much better off. Her mother-in-law had mixed water into the wine she drank. Although she frowned every time she drank, as if the wine was spicy, it was actually because it was too cold and her teeth were hurting. She thought that if her mother-in-law had not been worried that the pure water would freeze too quickly and expose her secret, she would have replaced all the wine with water.
But even so, when Tian Mi drank it, there was still a lot of ice in it, which made her feel very cold.
She felt that this was not much easier than Lou Luhui who was drinking. At least he was warm.
After the young couple finished their hot and cold toasts, they were finally able to sit down with everyone and start eating.
There was a mutton hotpot today. After Tian Mi ate several pieces of hot meat in a row, she felt alive again.
The cooking skills of the chefs in the kitchen were quite good, especially when all the seasonings were ready. Everyone was very satisfied with the wedding banquet.
After eating and drinking, it was only half past eleven.
Because the canteen had to leave space for the soldiers to eat lunch, the wedding banquet was held very early.
When leaving, Lou Luhui asked his attendant to carry dozens of kilograms of sugar to the quartermaster.
We certainly can't afford to treat all the soldiers to a meal, but it's okay to treat each of them to one or two candies to sweeten their mouths.
So this time when he went to the city to buy, he bought a full 100 kilograms of fruit candies, which cost more than 100 pieces per kilogram and did not require a ticket, and spent more than 60 yuan. It was at least a token of his appreciation.
The noise and bustle faded away, leaving only the young couple in the new house.
The kang has been heated in the room and the temperature is very suitable.
Tian Mi took off her thick coat and looked at the man who was walking steadily but obviously much slower. She suggested, "Are you drunk? Do you want to lie down on the bed for a while?"
Lou Luhui was indeed a little drunk at the moment, and felt like he was floating. But when his confused brain caught the word "go to bed", his eyes were immediately lit up.
He bent down directly to hug the person.
"What are you doing? Go to sleep by yourself!" Afraid of falling, Tian Mi tried to dodge.
"I'll hold you and sleep with you!"
"You're drunk, can you hold me like that?"
"Hold me and move. Go!"
"Fuck you, do you think you are carrying a pig? Let go! Bang!~Ah!! Huihui! I will bite you to death, you hit my head. Bang!~Hiss."
