Chapter 396
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, my father went out with confidence. He looked forward to "doing something big" this year.
Although everyone tacitly agreed not to mention sensitive words such as "girlfriend" and "marriage", we had a "happy and peaceful" Spring Festival.
Time flies by very quickly. In a blink of an eye, it’s the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. This is the day when Ai Nanfeng gets married.
Early in the morning, Mu Yi arrived at Ai Nanfeng's house in Heibao Village. He actually had a "dual identity" today. He was a member of Ai Nanfeng's "bridal sending" team, and was waiting for Wen Bakong's "bridal receiving" team to arrive.
He is a member of the "marriage-picking" team again.
Wen Qingfeng acted as the "leader" of the "bridal convoy". He drove his green van and brought the mighty "convoy" to Heibao Village. Everyone parked the car on the road next to the well and picked up the car.
Get some rocks to lock the wheels. Because the road is on a hillside, if there are no rocks to lock the wheels, you will worry about the car slipping backwards.
Wen Baikong, wearing a suit and leather shoes and holding flowers in his hands, came to Ai Nanfeng's house in high spirits.
A burst of loud firecrackers sounded, and the "God Worship" ceremony began.
Mu Yi and Wen Qingfeng were together with Wen Bakong's relatives and friends. They carefully moved Ai Nanfeng's "dowry" from the house to the roadside and loaded it into the waiting truck. Furniture, large and small, was packed everywhere.
Two carts were filled with broken items.
The banquet started. There were almost eight people in the wedding and farewell teams. Everyone ate quickly. The bride kowtowed to "leaving her mother" and walked out of the house with tears in her eyes. From then on, "home" means "mother's home"
Now, the "mother-in-law's family" in Taiyang Town is the "home".
The wedding banquet of Ainan Feng's family is still going on lively. The wedding banquet of Wen Bakong's family is busy in an nervous and orderly manner...
"The torches were divided". Wen Bakong led Ai Nanfeng into the "wedding car". The person who "carried the lantern" also got into the "wedding car". "Lighting the torch", Wen Bakong followed Wen Bakong into the "leading car". Everyone Hao
The team drove downhill happily, heading towards the county seat. Heading towards Taiyang Town. Ai Nanfeng's mother was left standing on the roadside with tears in her eyes, looking at the motorcade going away, waving weakly...
The motorcade galloped all the way and arrived at Taiyang Town smoothly. The bridegroom, bride, entertainer, matchmaker, those who "carried lanterns" and those who "lighted torches" got out of the car, and everyone hurried to Wen Bokong's house. They had been waiting to move "
The relatives and friends of the Wen family, together with Wen Qingfeng, Mu Yi and the others, started the "bridal" team and were busy moving the "dowry" into the new house...
Maybe she was walking impatiently? The bride Ai Nanfeng twisted her foot when passing by the "Old Well". She was afraid of missing the "time" and ignored the pain. She gritted her teeth and walked into the house because there were still a series of things to do.
The "ceremony" awaits the bride and groom.
But at this time, something unpleasant happened. It turned out that as soon as the car started to move, it brought up the wind. The wind helped the fire and blew the torch out of the car window very brightly! The intense burning was not only very hot, but also very dangerous.
.In addition, it is a long way from Datang Township to Taiyang Town. The people who "lighted the torch" were afraid that the torch would burn out before it left Datang. They asked the groom's official for his opinion.
"It's gone, it's gone. It's going to go away."
Wen Bakong got out of the car and hurried directly into the house. But it was the first time for the two "torch-lighting" children to perform such an important task. They didn't know what to do at all, anyway, they were lighting the "torch"
When we arrived at Aunt Wen's house, we "made the numbers".
But the Wen family is a very traditional family. They specially arranged for people to wait there to "take the torch." But when they saw "the torch went out", this was a big "unlucky", and their face darkened.
What should we do? The people standing there are all people who "know the rules". No one of them is willing to take out a lighter and light the torch. The person who took the torch can only take the cold torch back and throw it away.
In the stove of Wen Bokong's house.
This incident spread quickly. But Ai Nanfeng and Wen Bakong were completely unaware of it. Immediately afterwards, an even bigger incident was about to happen.
Wen Bokong's house is an old house that is a hundred or two hundred years old. It may be for "defense" considerations. The door openings and doors are much smaller than those of the houses built now. This is a problem. Everything is tried hard to squeeze out.
I reluctantly moved in. The remaining "Simmons" mattress was too big. We raised it horizontally, stood it up, tied it with ropes, and tried every means, but we just couldn't get it in.
There was really no way to make a decision on the mattress. We discussed it and discussed it. There were only two options left. One was to remove the roof of the new side house next to the old blockhouse, which was Wen Pakong's "new house".
Then everyone found a way to hoist the mattress up, put it in from the roof, and then restore the roof to its original shape.
However, this plan was quickly opposed by all the relatives and elders of the Wen family. Everyone said: Is this okay? On the first day after arriving, I had to "go to the house and unveil the tiles."
This plan was rejected. Then only the last plan was left. This needs to be carried out in two parts. The first is to continue to tighten the mattress a little more and reduce the width of the mattress as much as possible. The second is to find a saw and an axe, and cut the
Saw off the lintel of the main door of the old forthouse, and then continue to put the mattress inside. Then, after looking at the difference, use an ax to chop off a lot of the old wall soil above the lintel.
Finally, after everyone was busy and busy, the mattress was finally sent to the new house, but the brand-new mattress had been tampered with into disgrace. The time to "make the bed" was naturally delayed.
There was such a big "mistake". Naturally, Wen Bakong's family was discussed fiercely by everyone. But Wen Bakong's parents could only pretend not to hear. Especially Wen Bakong's mother, she was not only a very face-saving person
She is a very strong person. But from then on, she had a "root disease" in her heart...
After the lively wedding banquet, Wen Qingfeng was going back to Lao bustard ditch. Mu Yi planned to go with him. But Ai Nanfeng and Xu Beibei tried their best to persuade them to stay. Mu Yi didn't want their classmate relationship to be so "frozen"
" So I had no choice but to stay. But because Ju Zhiqian was also there, Mu Yi was stupid, and it was obvious that their relationship was unusual.
The scene was a little awkward and the atmosphere was a little depressing. Mu Yi had to play cards and drink, preparing to get himself drunk and go to sleep. But he didn't know that someone had been quietly observing him.
"Mu Yi, you are drunk. Can you take me out for a walk to sober up?" Chu Xuemei walked over and stood next to Mu Yi.
Mu Yi, who was drunk and confused, looked at Chu Xuemei in front of him. "Xuemei, happy New Year."
"My house is not far away. Let me take you out for a walk."
Mu Yi was already in a depressed mood. He even regretted that he had not mustered up the courage to follow Wen Qingfeng to Lao bustard ditch just now. So when Chu Xuemei proposed to take him out for a walk, he stood up without hesitation.
In fact, in such a special environment and atmosphere, Mu Yi would go out with her no matter who showed up. However, just following her out of this slightly embarrassing environment did not mean that he had any thoughts about her.
Chu Xuemei smiled charmingly at everyone. Seeing that Mu Yi was a little unsteady, she quickly supported him. Xu Beibei's expression changed slightly, but soon returned to normal.
Mu Yi waved his hands repeatedly. "Thank you, thank you. No need to help. I'm not drunk."
In fact, the person who says he is not drunk is already drunk. It is just that his will feels that he is not drunk. But his body has long been "fallen" by the attack of alcohol.
After going out and leaving the vegetable garden, there was no light. Mu Yi's eyesight was a little bad. Plus he was drunk. He was not familiar with the environment here, so he couldn't find his way around.
"Xuemei. Where are you taking me?"
"I will take you wherever you want to go."
"Really? Then you take me to the normal school."
"What? Normal school? Why do you want to go to normal school if you don't go anywhere? Do you know where that is?"
"Where is what place?"
"There, it turned out to be a 'mass grave'. Many people who starved to death were dumped there. It was very dark. When the normal school was established in the past, it was still somewhat popular. However, it was established within a few years.
It’s not raining anymore. Very few people are going anywhere now.”
"Oh. Let's take a walk then."
"Well. Chu Xuemei naturally took Mu Yi's hand."
Mu Yi might be lonely, lonely, or still sad. This time, he did not reject Chu Xuemei.
Chu Xuemei felt a little happy.
But no one knows what Mu Yi is thinking. In fact, he is just thinking about how are they doing? How is Sisi doing in another world?
He suddenly felt that people were very small. Life was so fragile. He was so vulnerable in front of alcohol... In this dark night, if Chu Xuemei hadn't been with him, he really didn't know how to relieve this dull depression.
"Thank you."
"What are you thanking me for?"
"Thank you for staying with me tonight."
"That's it. Then will you stay with me from now on?"
This was no joke. Mu Yi didn't dare to answer her words, but he couldn't make the situation cold.
"Xuemei. You are beautiful."
"Isn't she beautiful? Yun Ruoyue is beautiful."
"Don't mention her, okay?" This is the pain in Mu Yi's heart. He doesn't want anyone to mention it. He just wants to put her in the deepest part of his heart, then take ten boxes and ten iron locks to lock her up, and then put another piece on it.
"Box Stone".
"Are you cold?" Chu Xuemei felt Mu Yi's body trembling a little.
Yes. Muyi was a little cold. Not only because of the sudden cold in spring, but also because of the alcohol-induced cold. In addition, he was in a bad mood. The cold wind blew again at night. He couldn't help but squat down on the roadside and vomited.
…
Chu Xuemei also squatted down with him. She patted his back gently, and then slowly and gently stroked him down. When he was almost done vomiting, she handed him a few napkins and asked him to wipe away the saliva.
Clean.
"I'm really sorry for embarrassing you." Mu Yi said apologetically.
"It will feel better after you vomited."
"My head is pounding. I feel a little dizzy. I want to find a place to sleep."
"Then go to my house. My brother's bed is empty. He won't come back today."
"Forget it. It's not good. I'm afraid that people will gossip when I go to your house like this. You'd better take me back to Wen Pakong's house. His house has prepared a big bunk for everyone to sleep in."
Seeing that Muyi didn't want to go to his own house to sleep, Chu Xuemei felt a little unhappy. But after thinking about it, she felt that what he said still made sense. Usually when they stayed overnight, the relationship between the two was not just ordinary friends. Everyone would think that they were "boyfriends".
girlfriend".
Send Mu Yi back to Wen Baikong's house. Chu Xuemei is also ready to go back and rest.
After seeing Mu Yi lying in Datongpu, Chu Xuemei said shyly: "Tomorrow we will go to the Emperor's Temple to burn incense." She left without waiting for Mu Yi to answer.
Mu Yi, who was drunk, didn't hear clearly what she said. He only said that she told him to sleep well. He muttered: "Be safe."
