Husband, wife, how could Zhu Ping'an not know what these two words mean. ≧
The big red wedding characters on the walls, doors and trees in the yard reminded Zhu Pingan of a fact. In fact, Zhu Pingan learned this fact from his eldest brother the day after he was rescued from the island.
Getting married!
Yes, that's right, I'm married.
On the morning of April 20th, the family used a big rooster to marry Li Shu, who was represented by a hen, back home.
God knows how surprised Zhu Ping'an was when he heard the news. In the words of his eldest brother Zhu Pingchuan, when his younger brother Zhu Pingchuan knew that he had married the daughter of the Li family, he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling all day. His eldest brother even teased him at the time and said, "Okay, you're almost there. It's not like you just found out about the marriage on the first day. The family had already sent the news of your marriage to you in the capital by asking someone from the Li family. How come you haven't been happy enough after being happy for so long?"
What the hell, I didn’t even receive the letter?!
I didn't know the wedding date, and I didn't attend the wedding. How can a big rooster represent the completion of the wedding?!
However, Zhu Ping'an also knew about the ancient marriage system. Ancient marriage was not like the modern registration system. In ancient times, the marriage form required a ritual system. The ritual was the "Six Rites", which were Nacai, Wenming, Naji, Nazheng, Qingqi, and Qinying. In ancient times, as long as these six rituals were completed, the marriage was established. It was not like the modern way where one has to register with the marriage registration authority for the marriage to be established.
In ancient times, people paid attention to the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, and there was also the concept of bringing good luck to the bride. No matter if you get married in the hall yourself or a rooster gets married in the hall, as long as you have the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, and have gone through the six rituals, the marriage will be established.
The so-called six ceremonies are complete, which is called engagement; if the six ceremonies are not complete, it is called elopement. In simple terms, if the six ceremonies are completed, it is a formal marriage; if the six ceremonies are not completed, it is called elopement, which is just like not going through the marriage registration in modern times.
After the six ceremonies, Li Shu was his legally married wife! This was a fact that no one could change, not even one person.
By the way, which of the two roosters in the vegetable garden by the courtyard wall represents my marriage? The one with black flowers or the one with red flowers?! I suddenly want to eat chicken, but I don’t know how it tastes, whether it is better to stew it or braise it.
"Why are you standing there like an idiot? Don't you see Shu'er is working hard to pick vegetables? Go and get a stool for Shu'er." Seeing Zhu Ping'an standing there stupidly staring at the rooster, mother Chen couldn't help but step forward and slap Zhu Ping'an again, telling him to go and get a stool for Li Shu.
Uh, it hurts. Mom, why do I feel like Li Shu is your biological daughter, while I seem to be picked up! Zhu Pingan touched the back of his head that was hurt by Chen's slap and muttered in a low voice.
"What are you mumbling about?" Chen glared.
Zhu Ping'an instantly became timid and obediently went into the house to move a stool. The feeling just now became even stronger.
Li Shu looked at Zhu Ping'an moving the stool and her eyes narrowed into crescents.
"Mom, you sit down, Shu'er can just squat."
After Zhu Ping'an brought a stool, Li Shu placed the stool behind her mother Chen with a well-behaved look on her face. She also wiped it considerately with her sleeve, and then helped Chen sit down.
Lackey
Zhu Ping'an looked at Li Shu's behavior and silently pulled the corner of his mouth.
"Look how sensible Shu'er is." Although she refused verbally, Chen was obviously very impressed by Li Shu's attitude. At Li Shu's insistence, she sat down happily and was extremely satisfied with Li Shu.
This daughter-in-law comes from a good family, is pretty, good at housekeeping, hardworking, sensible, and filial. Chen couldn't be more satisfied and couldn't help feeling proud of the decision she made.
Satisfied, Chen gave Zhu Ping'an another lecture, and Li Shu became the neighbor's child in her parents' eyes.
hehe
Sensible? Zhu Pingan could only laugh. If his mother knew Li Shu's true arrogant and willful face, he wondered if she would regret saying so.
"Mom, what are these vegetables going to be cooked for? I heard from my husband that your cooking is the most delicious. I remember tasting your cooking when I was a child. I'm drooling just thinking about it now." When Li Shu was picking vegetables with Chen, she kept flattering her.
"No way." Chen shook her head modestly, but she couldn't stop smiling.
"Really, Mom, I still remember it. When I was a child, I went to our old house to play with my husband. I remember that Mom was very kind to me. She even packed a basket of food for me to take home." Li Shu nodded vigorously, her big watery eyes filled with sincerity.
"You still remember this?" Chen was a little surprised. She remembered it because she was an adult at the time. She didn't expect Li Shu, who was so young at the time, could still remember it. Then she said, "It's not a good thing. It's just some snacks I made myself."
"I remember, I remember. I could smell the fragrance when I took the basket. I was drooling at that time." Li Shu closed her eyes emotionally, as if she was recalling the scene at that time. Her face was full of happiness, as if the basket of food was right in front of her.
Shit! Liar!
At that time, you ordered the maid Baozi to throw the basket of food into the ditch because you thought it was unclean. I was so angry that I gave you a good lesson!
Zhu Pingan looked at Li Shu and lied with her eyes open. It was really great. You closed your eyes.
As Li Shu spoke, Chen couldn't stop smiling.
"But, but on my way home, I accidentally dropped my basket into the ditch," Li Shu said this with a look of heartache on her face.
It was not an accident. You obviously dropped it on purpose! Zhu Ping'an has a better understanding of Li Shu's evil intentions!
"It's okay, it's okay. Mom will make it for you another day." Chen waved her hand without caring at all.
"But, what mom cooked was really delicious." Li Shu said with an embarrassed smile, "Shu'er couldn't help herself, so she went down to the ditch to pick up the basket and food, and then she washed them and ate them all when she got home."
Hearing this, Zhu Pingan really felt like a dog. It was such a waste of talent for Li Shu not to receive an Oscar! And she picked it up and ate it?! Then why don't you rise with the wind and soar to the sky!
"You kid, if you want to eat, just come back. It's not good to pick it up and eat it after it falls on the ground." Chen felt very distressed when she heard this, as if Li Shu had never eaten anything delicious.
"It's all because my mother cooked it so deliciously." Li Shu said as she lowered her head shyly.
"No way"
Chen seemed to have suddenly become a dozen years younger. The two of them kept laughing and chatting while picking vegetables. The relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was surprisingly good. (To be continued.)8
