Just as Mu Jingping was wondering, Mrs. Song came out, "Ning Ning, why don't you come in?"
Mu Jingping pointed at the luxury car on the site that was incompatible with the house and asked, "Grandma, whose car does this belong to?"
Mrs. Song came to Mu Jingping's side and her eyes fell on the car. There was relief in her eyes but also a hint of complexity, "This is the betrothal gift sent by your mother-in-law. Not only this car, but also a one-hundred-dollar bill was given to me." A bank card worth 10,000 yuan and eight kinds of gifts..."
Then he turned to look at Mu Jingjing, "It's not convenient for me to talk about this in the hotel. I'm planning to tell you when I get home."
Mu Jingping looked surprised. She didn't expect Ju Qiulan to give such a heavy betrothal gift.
Seeing Mu Jingping's expression, Mrs. Song knew that she didn't know, and felt even more relieved. It showed that the mother-in-law of the Shen family really thought highly of her granddaughter.
"What are you doing standing on the field?" Lao Zhao came to the door and asked his grandfather and grandson outside the house.
Mrs. Song took Mu Jingjing's hand and walked towards the house, "Let's go inside and talk."
Mu Jingping entered the room. The room was clean and tidy as always, and the overall layout had not changed. However, a lot of furniture had been added to the house, but they were all a bit old, and the style did not look like expensive appliances.
The black-and-white TV in the center of the hall was replaced by a color TV, a box-shaped one. Nowadays, people have long used LCD ultra-thin large-screen color TVs, but the old style is still in the house. It can be seen that my grandparents are not living a good life. Not rich.
Mu Jingran sat down on the old-fashioned sofa. She couldn't remember the memories before she was ten years old very clearly. What impressed her most were some sad memories. She remembered that her grandfather liked to sit on the stone bench at the door and smoke cigarettes, with a sad face. His appearance made her reluctant to get close to him.
Her grandmother was very kind to her, and her family's conditions were not well-off, but she would often buy her food when she came back from working outside, but occasionally she would touch her head and sigh, saying that she was a miserable child.
After Mrs. Song made tea for Mu Jingran, she went into the room and came out with a bank card and a car key in her hand. She thrust the card and car key into Mu Jingran's hand, "This is a hundred dollars given by your mother-in-law." There is no reason to return the bride price, but I can give it to you as a dowry, and we will accept the eight gifts to avoid your mother-in-law being unhappy."
Mu Jingping shook his head hurriedly, and stuffed the card and car keys back into Mrs. Song's hand, "Grandma, I don't want it. You and grandpa will keep the money for their retirement, and give the car to your uncle."
"Your uncle has a car. Although it's not comparable to yours, it's good for a family like ours to be able to drive it." Mrs. Song glanced at Lao Zhao next to her, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth that was satisfied with the current situation. "As for old age care, your grandpa and I are in good health and can support ourselves. We will be very happy if you and Xiao Shenduo come to Hucheng to visit us in the future."
"grandmother… "
"Child, I know how you feel. You want us to live well, and we also hope you live well." Song held Mu Jingping's hand holding the bank card and car keys, and pressed the things into her palm, "Before Ping'er and you are often looked down upon by the neighbors, and your grandpa and I are also looked down upon secretly. This time you married into such a good family, you don't know how prosperous your grandpa and I were that day when your mother-in-law gave you the car and the bride price. , so decent, the envious eyes and congratulatory voices from the neighbors made your grandpa and I straighten our spines."
Mu Jingping felt sour because she, her mother, grandpa and grandma had never been able to raise their heads and be human, "Grandma, grandpa, I'm sorry."
"Silly boy, why are you sorry? We are all a family. It was your grandpa and I who made your mother suffer so much without knowing it..." Mrs. Song said with tears falling down.
Old Zhao on the side blinked his painful eyes twice and coughed lightly, "Why are you crying on such a happy day?"
Mrs. Song quickly wiped away her tears and said with a smile, "Look what's wrong with me. I'm happy that my granddaughter is getting married. I'm so happy." Then she let go of Mu Jingping's hand and took out another card from her pocket. It was a card. Zhang Rural Credit Union’s card.
Song also thrust this card into Mu Jingjing's hand.
"Grandma, what are you doing?" Mu Jingping wanted to return the card and car keys, but Mrs. Song held her hand tightly and wouldn't let go.
Mrs. Song held Mu Jingping's hand tightly and said, "This is the dowry that your grandpa and I gave you. It's not much, only thirty thousand yuan. It's incomparable to the Shen family's million-dollar bride price, but it's also our sincerity. "
Mu Jingping felt a wave of heat hit her heart, and her eyes suddenly became wet. With such conditions at home, they actually prepared a dowry for her. 30,000 yuan is probably all the savings of the old couple, right? "Grandma, I don't want..."
"Good boy, be obedient and take it." Mrs. Song gently patted the back of Mu Jingjing's hand, "Xiao Shen's family must be a wealthy family, otherwise they wouldn't have given such a thick betrothal gift. Your grandpa and I are incapable of giving it. You have a long face, but we will never embarrass you. We can't let you be unable to be a member of the Shen family in the future. You have the bride price, the car, and these 30,000 yuan. If you have something close to you, you can live a better life. Be confident.”
Mu Tranquility burst into tears instantly.
Old Zhao's eyes were red, he took two strong puffs of cigarette, and started to blame Mrs. Song, "You said it was a great wedding day, but you had to make Ning Ning cry. You have no sense of propriety in doing things."
"I..." Mrs. Song looked at a loss and hurriedly wiped Mu Jingjing's tears, "Stop crying, I'm going to be a bride tomorrow and have to put on makeup. It won't look good if your eyes are swollen from crying."
Mu Jingping couldn't stop crying, she couldn't stop crying.
Mrs. Song was anxious, "Ning Ning, please stop crying. When little Shen sees your eyes are swollen tomorrow, he might blame me and your grandpa for bullying you."
Mu Jingjing was startled, and suddenly remembered that Shen Tingxi had misunderstood Shen Jiuyan for bullying her a while ago, and blocked Shen Jiuyan at the door, saying that I couldn't understand clearly, and it was not impossible for a son to teach her a lesson, and she burst into tears and laughed.
Not to mention, depending on Shen Tingxi's character, she might really be able to blame her grandparents.
In the end, Mu Jingping took away the two cards and the car keys, not for anything else but to reassure the two elderly people. She would have a lifetime to honor them, so she was not in a hurry at this moment.
Mu Jingping was woken up by the Song family at around five o'clock the next day. According to Hucheng's custom, he had to have a wedding meal at the bride's family in the morning before leaving for the groom's family.
The makeup team and the wedding dress were all arranged by Ju Qiulan. The makeup artists stayed in a small town hotel less than two miles away from the village last night and rushed here early in the morning.
Mu Jingran didn't choose a bridesmaid for this wedding. Shu Xin was about to give birth. Mu Jingran didn't let her come over. Tong Qiao also wanted to take care of the baby at home. Mu Jingran didn't inform her. In fact, one of the main reasons was that Shen Jiuyan and her Having said that, it is best not to entertain people from Fancheng, otherwise too much movement will easily arouse suspicion, which is unsafe.
Naturally, Shen Tingxi strongly disagreed at first. She wouldn't allow it to be held in Fancheng, and she wouldn't allow friends from Fancheng to be invited. How can that work
But Mu Jingjing said that her grandparents were from rural areas, and the scene was too big, and they were both rich and powerful people, which would inevitably put pressure on the elderly. The family backgrounds of the two parties were so far apart, if her grandparents were worried and worried that she would be wronged after marrying into a rich family, , what should I do if I don’t agree with this marriage
When Shen Tingxi heard this, it made sense and thought it would be better to marry his wife before marrying him, so he agreed to Mu Jingping's request and did not entertain Fancheng's friends.
However, Shu Xin and Huo Yanqing had dinner together in advance to celebrate.
As for Lu Jinshen, he planned to go to the capital to deliver the good news to them after the wedding.
At half past eight, Shen Tingxi's wedding team arrived at the door of Lao Zhao's house.
Lao Zhao's reservation was for the banquet to start at nine o'clock. At this time, most of the people from the neighbors who came to have wedding wine and congratulations came. People in the countryside saw eight luxury cars lined up on the venue and lined up on the road. Clicking tongue.
"Old Zhao's family has smoke coming out of their ancestral grave. My granddaughter has married into such a good family."
"Who says otherwise? Didn't you see the betrothal gift sent a few days ago? Needless to say how generous the eight betrothal gifts were, a car was also given as a gift. I heard the young man in the village say that the car is worth mentioning. It’s worth a million.”
"Her granddaughter will be in heaven from now on. There will be such a wonderful life in the future, but we people can't imagine it."
There are many people who are envious, and of course there are also those who say mean things.
"What's so great? Don't forget that this granddaughter of the old Zhao family was the daughter of his daughter before they were married. I'm afraid I still don't know who the father is."
"Yes, how could a wealthy family like her like her? Who knows what means she used to get her?"
"Yes, and I see that the person who marries her will most likely be an old man, or a bald, middle-aged man with a big belly. Otherwise, he has some flaws that make him unable to find a wife. Otherwise, who would be so stupid to marry such a notorious woman? Come in?"
When Dongzi heard these words outside, he was so angry that he wanted to go up and beat someone, but thinking that it was the young master's wedding day, he endured it. However, when he went to open the door for Shen Tingxi, he deliberately bumped into one of the people who had said something unpleasant just now. A woman in her twenties.
The woman said "ouch" and was about to curse. When she turned around, she saw a handsome-looking man. She swallowed the foul words again and her angry face turned into a soft and shy one.
Dongzi said very politely: "I'm sorry, I was in a hurry to open the door for the groom, so I didn't bump into you, did I?"
The woman touched her arm and it hurt. Is this man made of iron? However, he smiled and said: "It's okay..."
The woman was about to say something, but Dong Zai interrupted her, "The groom is very handsome. Please open your eyes and take a closer look."
The woman's face instantly turned red. This time she was embarrassed. She didn't expect that what she said was heard by this handsome man. It was so embarrassing.
While the woman was feeling annoyed, Dong Zai had already opened the door of the wedding car and couldn't help but look over there. She didn't believe it. If the groom was really handsome and his family was so good, why would he marry a woman like Mu Jingjing? Stupid...
The woman saw the man getting out of the car. He had deep and sharp features, sharp edges, and a very masculine face. She had been outside for several years and had seen the world, but she had never seen such a handsome man. , no matter the appearance or the cold and distinguished temperament that he exudes invisibly, he is the best among men. Even the way he walks is full of masculine tension, making people unable to take their eyes away.
Dong Zai looked at the woman not far away who was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped. He tilted his head and said something in Shen Tingxi's ear.
Shen Tingxi's stern eyebrows slowly frowned, and he looked in the direction Dong Zai was looking at.
The woman felt the groom's gaze coming over her, her heart beat faster, and her face instantly turned red with embarrassment. However, the man's gaze seemed like a sharp sword tempered with ice. The man only glanced at her quickly, but her back was already dripping with cold sweat.
She looked carefully and saw that the man was smiling at the villagers who were watching. The smile on his face was warm and gentle, as if the sight just now was just her imagination.
There are many customs in rural areas, and it is not easy for the groom to meet the bride. He needs to answer many questions, such as who are you? What are you here for? Who is your bride? etc.
Shen Tingxi answered them one by one, and then someone asked Shen Tingxi to sing a love song.
Shen Tingxi is a little embarrassed. He is really not good at singing. He fights and kills all day long. How can he have free time to play with those women's things? Even when he is free, his fun is playing cards, smoking, shooting at the training ground, etc. You know After Ning Ning, he only had one thing left to enjoy, and that was to accompany Ning Ning.
He can't even remember the words to a song, so how can he sing it
In the end, it was Dong Zai who came up with an idea for Shen Tingxi, asking Shen Tingxi to perform a martial arts performance for everyone. This proposal was novel and had never been seen by people in the countryside, and everyone immediately agreed.
Shen Tingxi just wanted to do a few sets of boxing at first. Unexpectedly, the villagers were very excited and applauded like thunder. They even said that it was not enough and they must do it again, otherwise they would not be allowed to see the bride.
There was no other way. In order to marry a wife, Shen Tingxi had no choice but to obey them.
However, I didn't expect that the villagers became more and more addicted to watching and praised Shen Tingxi for being wonderful. In the end, they took off Shen Tingxi's suit jacket because it was rare. She was wearing a white shirt, rolled up her sleeves, revealing her strong forearms, and beat her until she was covered in sweat. , the villagers let him go.
Seeing that the groom was sweating profusely from being tortured, the villagers didn't want to go too far, so they didn't give him any more trouble and let him into the new prodigal's house.
It’s just that there are a lot of people waiting for red envelopes behind the door. The door is opened a crack, and no one is allowed in without giving red envelopes. Fortunately, Ju Qiulan told him about these customs last night, and he was prepared to get a wife. , what is a red envelope
After passing this level, Shen Tingxi always saw Mu Jingping sitting beside the red wedding bed.
She was wearing a handmade custom-made white lace wedding dress. The skirt of the wedding dress was very large, almost covering half of the bed, making her even more petite and cute. She rarely put on makeup, and she had never put on a slightly formal and delicate makeup like today. Pass.
Shen Tingxi always knew that his Ning Ning was pretty and beautiful, but he never knew that she would be so beautiful in a wedding dress and serious makeup!
She has a demure temperament and two shallow dimples on her face. The way she sits there quietly and stares at him is like...it can take away his soul!
All the beautiful words are not enough to describe her beauty at this moment.
When Shen Tingxi raised his feet and was about to walk into the room, a woman stood up and blocked his way. She smiled and said, "I am Ningning's aunt. On behalf of Ningning's relatives, I asked you to be here today." Make a promise to Ning Ning to give us peace of mind."
Someone immediately started shouting, "Swear, swear, swear..."
Shen Tingxi looked back at the door that was blocked by people. He originally planned to say some things when he and Ning Ning were toasting together, but since there was such a link and there were quite a lot of people, it seemed good to say it now.
Shen Tingxi looked deeply and affectionately at Mu Jingjing, who was sitting beside the wedding bed and looking at him with a smile. She opened her thin lips and said, "Ning Ning, I chased you for more than half a year before you agreed to be my girlfriend, and you refused. He proposed to me three times..."
There was an uproar nearby.
"No way, it's the bride that the groom is chasing? And he's been chasing her for so long?"
"How could she refuse three marriage proposals from such a good man?"
"It seems that the groom is really infatuated with the bride. Such a relationship is so enviable."
Shen Tingxi's deep and pleasant voice continued to ring in the wedding room, "It's really not easy for us to be together. No matter what your life experience and family are, in my eyes you are unique and I like it." It's you, nothing else matters.
If anyone dares to bully you in the future, or make irresponsible remarks behind your back, I will fight with them to the death. I will be your guardian angel for the rest of my life.
There is an idiom that says that all the suffering you have suffered has ended at this moment. The road ahead is still long. I cannot guarantee that there will be no suffering, but I can guarantee that I will bear all the suffering for you and leave you with only Sweet. "
After Shen Tingxi finished speaking, there was deathly silence at first, and then there was thunderous applause, and a louder, "Okay, okay, okay..."
Many women at the scene had red eyes, and Mu Jingping couldn't help crying.
The sound insulation effect of the old house was not good. In fact, when Mu Jingjing woke up in the morning, the gossip outside drifted into her ears. Although she felt a little uncomfortable, she knew that Shen Tingxi wouldn't care, so she let them go.
But what Shen Tingxi said just now, every word and every word, was to protect her overtly and covertly. He even said the very dishonorable thing about being rejected three times, just to let others know that it was not She climbed onto him, but he clung to her.
How could she not love such a man
Mu Jingping's aunt came back to her senses. In order to liven up the atmosphere, she said to Shen Tingxi with a smile: "You said it so well. You made the bride cry. It's your fault and you must be punished."
The surrounding people burst into laughter instantly. I have seen people being made things difficult for them even if they fail to swear, but I have never seen people made things difficult for them even if they speak too well.
Mu Jingjing's aunt thought for a while and said a sweet punishment, "As a punishment, you will be punished by carrying the bride on your back and walking around three times. The bride is so beautiful, everyone must be able to feast their eyes on it."
Shen Tingxi frowned a little, remained silent for two seconds and said, "I don't agree."
Everyone was dumbfounded. The groom actually disagreed
From the beginning when he was not allowed to see the bride until now, he has always responded to her requests. Now he is asked to carry the bride, and he is unwilling? !
Aren't you going to carry your wife on your back happily at this time
Not to mention everyone, even Mu Jingping was stunned.
