Chapter 123 Shen Jiabao gets married
In a blink of an eye, it was the eighth day of the first lunar month, the day when Shen Jiabao married Yang Fangfang.
The Shen family was in a festive mood. The groom was Shen Jiabao. Gu Jiandong, who was attending the banquet, was even happier than Shen Jiabao. He got up early and helped the Shen family to prepare the banquet in an orderly manner, moving tables and arranging chairs, looking very worried.
Shen Shuyu had been pulled up from the kang by Old Lady Shen a long time ago. At this moment, Shen Shuyu and Shen Qiu were decorating Shen Jiabao's new house together.
It's called decoration, but in fact it's just to see what's missing from the house. Yesterday, Grandma Shen had already pasted several large pieces of red paper with the words "double happiness" on them on her eldest grandson's room, making the house look very festive.
Before he got married, Shen Jiabao's house was empty except for a kang, on which he placed his clothes.
Now that he was getting married, the family's status rose sharply. Zhang Cuicui bought a lot of things for her eldest son's room, including a large wardrobe, a kangqin, a table, a chair, a wooden basin, a wooden barrel, a kettle...
are all new.
Shen Shuyu felt that her eldest brother's house had everything he needed except a bride.
When Shen Jiabao got married, Shen Shuyu gave him a quilt cover. The quilt cover was bright red and had a mandarin duck pattern embroidered on it.
When it was taken out last night, the Shen family's eyes lit up and they were all very curious about it.
The quilt cover was a little wrinkled when it was spread on the kang. Shen Qiu carefully smoothed it out with his hands.
"Big sister, you are amazing. You can even buy such a hard-to-find quilt cover."
"When you get married, I will give you a quilt like this."
Except for Shen Xue, several cousins of the Shen family have been very kind to the original owner since they were young. After traveling through time, she also felt the sincerity of her cousins. Shen Shuyu has always been generous to those who are good to her.
This quilt cover is indeed difficult to sell. If Shen Shuyu and Scar didn't know each other, she wouldn't be able to get this quilt cover.
Nowadays, everyone needs bright and festive things. If you tell others that your son or daughter has a bright red quilt cover when they get married, many people will envy you.
When Shen Jiabao got married, the quilt cover she gave to the eldest wife touched his heart.
"My dear, Xiaoqiu, your elder brother has gone to pick up the bride, you should go with him."
Old Lady Shen's voice came from outside the door, and the two stepped out of the door, "Here we are."
The bicycle used to pick up the bride was Shen Shuyu's, with a big red flower tied to the handlebar.
In order to look decent, Shen Jiabao even asked Gu Jiandong to borrow a set of clothes.
Today, Shen Jiabao wore a green military uniform with a small red flower on his chest. He puffed out his chest and rode his bicycle to meet his bride in high spirits.
Shen Shuyu, Gu Jiandong and the others followed behind. They were from the same village, and the two families were not far apart. The wedding procession soon arrived at the Yang family.
The one who distributed wedding candies to everyone was Gu Jiandong. He had a bright smile on his face and passed out handfuls of candies. His generosity made the aunts and grandmas smile.
With everyone's encouragement, Shen Jiabao carried Yang Fangfang onto the bicycle.
The Yang family loved their daughter Yang Fangfang very much. They gave her a dowry of a quilt and two large wooden boxes. Yang Fangfang was also wearing new clothes. The dowry was quite splendid and decent.
Shen Xue stood in the crowd, feeling indescribable jealousy when she saw Yang Fangfang getting married in such a grand manner.
When a girl gets married, bringing so many dowry items clearly shows that she is from the Yang family.
Shen Jiabao really thinks it is necessary to make such a big fuss about marrying a wife.
What a waste of food to hold a wedding banquet. It would be much better for her and Jing Chen to just get a marriage certificate and not have to prepare anything.
Shen Xue grabbed the corner of her clothes tightly, almost biting her lower lip, and would never admit that she was jealous of Yang Fangfang's grand wedding.
Shen Shuyu and Shen Jiaguo each took one item from Yang Fangfang's dowry and finished taking all of it.
They happily welcomed Yang Fangfang into the house. The two swore their vows in the main hall, and then the bride returned to her room.
Shen Jiabao was quite smart after getting married. He was afraid that his wife would be lonely in the room, so he asked his two cousins to come in and keep Yang Fangfang company.
Shen Shuyu and Shen Qiu came in, each carrying a bowl.
Shen Shuyu smiled, "Sister-in-law, you must be hungry! Eat something. These fried meatballs were made by your aunt-in-law specifically for you, her daughter-in-law. They are so delicious."
Shen Qiu placed a bowl of noodles in front of Yang Fangfang and said with a grin, "Sister-in-law, these noodles were made by my grandmother. She specially added two eggs. Knowing that you like chopped green onions, she sprinkled a lot of chopped green onions."
When Yang Fangfang, the new bride, first came home, she felt a little uncomfortable.
Now two cousins came in with food and spoke to her in a gentle voice. The noodles and fried meatballs were specially made for her by her grandmother and mother-in-law. Yang Fangfang felt warm in her heart.
"Thank you!"
Shen Qiu thought his sister-in-law was quite polite. "Why thank me? We are all family."
Yang Fangfang is a shy person. She basically stays at home when there is nothing to do. She is not very close to her two cousins on weekdays. Before she got married, she was a little worried that it would be difficult to get along with the two cousins. Now it seems that she was worrying too much.
Yang Fangfang got up before dawn to dress up and didn't eat much. She was really hungry now. She felt embarrassed to eat alone, so she asked her two cousins to come eat with her.
"Shuyu, Xiaoqiu, come eat with me."
Shen Shuyu smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you can eat by yourself. We will go out to eat later."
Seeing that her two cousins really didn't want to eat, Yang Fangfang started to eat. The meatballs and noodles were quite large, and Yang Fangfang was full.
She looked at the two sisters-in-law sheepishly, "I don't usually eat so much, but today I'm just too hungry and the noodles and meatballs made by grandma and mom are so delicious."
Yang Fangfang also explained why her two cousins might think she ate too much.
Shen Shuyu said considerately, "Being able to eat is a blessing. Sister-in-law, no matter how much you eat, my brother can afford it. Eat as much as you can."
Shen Qiu took the dishes out, and Shen Shuyu went back to the room and made her a bowl of malted milk.
Yang Fangfang was flattered. She knew how precious malted milk was. Her younger brother was in poor health and wanted to buy a bag of malted milk to nourish his body, but his father couldn't buy it.
As soon as she entered the house, her cousin made her a bowl of rice. Yang Fangfang waved her hands repeatedly, "Shu Yu, drink it yourself. I'm full."
"If you're full, drink later."
The aunt and sister-in-law chatted in the house. Yang Fangfang carefully looked at the house where she would live in the future. After a round look, she found that the house had everything missing. She felt warm in her heart. Her husband's family had bought everything that could be bought. This feeling of being valued was good.
The feast had already begun outside the door. Shen Qiu came in after finishing her meal and called Shen Shuyu out, "Sister, you go out and have the feast. I'll accompany my sister-in-law."
As soon as Shen Shuyu left, Gu Jiandong waved, "Shuyu, come here quickly, I picked up a lot of dishes for you."
Nowadays, eating at a banquet depends on the speed of your hands. If your hands are a little slow, the plate will be empty in the next second.
