"Xiao Mian, you're back, and I won't wait any longer."
Su Mian sent Su Hong back to the house and went to the space again. There were a lot of things going on outside these days, and her time to enter the space was getting shorter and shorter. She had to prepare some medicinal materials for Wei Zhenhui tonight.
She gave the villagers a physical examination today and gained another 200 benevolence points.
The next day, before dawn, everyone in the Su family got up. Wei Min ran over early in the morning to help.
Uncle Su Mian led Mrs. Su through the door.
The three aunts' men and their children also arrived, and the gathering of the whole family was more lively than the Chinese New Year.
Old Mrs. Su sat on the edge of the kang with a kind face, her hair was curled with silver threads on the back of her head, and Aunt Su Mian inserted a hairpin for her.
When she heard that Su Mian was going to be engaged to Wei Zhenhui, Mrs. Su went to Su Mian's house for the first time and told Su Jianghai that Su Mian was a good match and that he was a reliable soldier.
A few uncles put two kickers in the yard, one after another, lighting up the whole yard.
The six children from my aunt's family were running around inside and outside the adults' house. The candied haws in their hands were skewered by Su Jianghai yesterday. There are many children, and there is nothing to entertain them in the countryside.
Su Jianghai and Su Jiangbo were catching roosters in the chicken coop and escorting the car. The children followed the adults and watched the fun.
The little rooster is stubborn, with reddish-brown feathers and its tail raised proudly. I didn't catch it at once, but the little rooster became energetic, spread its wings and fluttered all over the yard. Sometimes it flew to the head of the house, and sometimes it landed on the window sill.
The children standing at the door watching the excitement couldn't help but clap their hands when the Coke broke.
When the little rooster really flew over, they were all so frightened that they dropped the candied haws and ran towards the house howling like wolves.
He Qin and several aunts cleaned up the house and discussed preparing things to escort the car for a while.
Wei Min was busy combing Su Mian's hair.
Wei Min had a pair of skillful hands. He could give Su Mian a unique hairstyle in just a few strokes. He braided the left and right sides of her head and finally tied them together at the back of her head.
Su Mian looked in the mirror and her eyes lit up. She actually had the feeling of wearing bridal makeup.
Several children came in chirping, and when they saw Su Mian, they were a little afraid to recognize her. The older girl from the third aunt's family reacted quickly, "Sister Su Mian, you are so beautiful! You are more beautiful than all the classmates in our class!"
Several others also followed suit.
"Sister Su Mian, you want to get married and wear new clothes. You are not ashamed..." The boy from my aunt's family started, and several children started shouting around Su Mian.
Su Mian didn't think anything of it at first, but she felt a little shy when the children made trouble.
Bai Magnolia sat leisurely on the kang and ate melon seeds. Su Hong stood beside the kang, looking out the window and watching the activities of Su Mian's house.
"Mom, are you going to go then?"
Magnolia spat out a melon seed shell, "Why don't you go? 50 yuan can't be wasted!"
At this time, most people will spend two or three yuan to get married. If you have a good relationship, you will only spend 5 yuan. Magnolia spends 50 yuan, which is indeed a lot.
"Why is there still no movement?" Su Hong looked outside anxiously and saw two kicks exploding in the air, illuminating the yard.
"Why are you so anxious? We'll find out soon. Then the whole village will watch Su Mian's joke and see how brave she is to get engaged!" Magnolia spit out another melon seed shell. Her son Su Jinbiao was still detained at the police station. She would have given them an advantage by not going to Su Mian's house to cause trouble.
After Su Jiangtao finished feeding the donkey, he came in from the outside and was startled, "Why haven't you two gone over yet?"
Su Hong glanced at the clock on the wall impatiently and said, "Dad, it's only 7 o'clock. We don't pick up the bride until 9 o'clock. Why are you going so early!"
