Chapter 308 Marriage
Shen Shuyu has a lot of clothes, so she can wear any of them tomorrow. Seeing that she hasn't decided yet, Shen Chunling suggested, "You should wear this new dress made by your second aunt. It has mandarin ducks embroidered on it. It's perfect for your wedding tomorrow."
Shen Shuyu touched the mandarin duck on it, "It looks really good. I'll wear this tomorrow."
Shen Chunling went back to the room again. She seemed to have something hidden in her arms. She closed the door and pulled her niece to the kang. "Come, come. You are getting married tomorrow. Second aunt wants to tell you something private."
She took out the book, looked at her eldest niece, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Her own marriage was not perfect, so she did not talk about how couples get along. "Shu Yu, you are getting married tomorrow, and you will soon be a young wife.
The matter between the couple is also very important, it is related to the harmony between the couple, and the first experience is very important..."
Shen Chunling said a lot and stuffed the book to her niece, "Take a look at it later, study, study."
As soon as she left, Shen Shuyu closed the door and entered the space to read happily. The pictures in the book were quite elegant. Shen Shuyu felt very good about it.
After finishing reading the two books, Shen Shuyu felt that he had memorized them in his mind and was just waiting to put them into practice.
Seeing that Shen Shuyu's door was closed, Gu Jiandong thought she was asleep, so he didn't disturb her. He took Bai Luobo out for a run.
The groom-to-be, Gu Jiandong, is getting married tomorrow and is a little excited. He can't fall asleep.
White radish usually doesn't like to move much, so Gu Jiandong ran with it in circles. It looked listless and wanted to take the opportunity to sneak back home to sleep, but Gu Jiandong put a rope on it and it couldn't move.
It couldn't run anymore, so it lay on the ground motionless, with its head hung, looking at Gu Jiandong with a condemning look.
"Woof woof woof ~" It's you who's getting married, not Master Dog, so why are you torturing Master Dog?
Gu Jiandong finally went home holding the white radish.
He really couldn't sleep, so he filled up the water tank at home.
When he looked at the time, it was already past three o'clock. Afraid that he would not have energy the next day if he did not sleep, Gu Jiandong forced himself to sleep for two hours and got up at five o'clock.
He got up, and Shen Shuyu was also pulled out of bed by her grandmother, "My dear, you are getting married today, so you can't sleep in."
"Grandma, just let me sleep for a while, just a little while." Shen Shuyu was very sleepy.
Gu Jiandong also said, "Grandma Shen, it's still early, let Shu Yu sleep for a while."
Gu Jiandong lived at home, so they skipped the wedding procession and just waited for the guests to arrive and entertain them.
Old Mrs. Shen smiled kindly, "Just spoil her. Okay, let her sleep for a while."
The yard began to get busy, and everyone in the Shen family had work to do.
With the sounds of various pots and pans, Shen Shuyu couldn't sleep at all. She kept rolling around on the bed, but she just couldn't open her eyes.
After rolling around on the kang for more than an hour, Shen Shuyu finally couldn't fall asleep, so she got up and Gu Jiandong came in to comb her hair.
Shen Shuyu wanted to style her hair differently today, so she sent Gu Jiandong out. "Just do your thing."
She is getting married today, so she has to dress up nicely.
Shen Qiu ran in, "Big sister, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Go to the kitchen and heat the tongs." She wanted to curl the hair on both sides of her cheeks.
Shen Shuyu changed into the clothes she was going to wear today and went out to wash up. Shen Qiu also ironed the fire tongs.
"Sister, what do you need the tongs for? They are very hot. You have to be careful with them."
"Perm your hair."
Shen Qiu didn't quite understand her elder sister's operation, and watched her elder sister use the tongs to perm her hair with concern, "Sister, be careful."
Shen Shuyu was also afraid of burning herself, so she focused on perming her hair.
After she finished perming her hair and tied it into a half-high ponytail, Shen Qiu exclaimed, "Big sister, you are so beautiful. You look so good with your hair tied like this."
After she put down the tongs, Shen Qiu walked forward and started to chat with her elder sister. She felt really proud to have such a beautiful sister.
"If you like, I'll give you this too."
"Wait until you are free first." Today is her eldest sister's wedding day, she cannot be ignorant.
Shen Shuyu didn't wear any makeup. She just used a half-burned wooden stick to draw her eyebrows, and she looked very beautiful just like that.
"Sister, if you have lipstick, you will definitely look better with it on."
Shen Erniu came over early. She said, "She looks so good even without lipstick. If she put on lipstick, it would be terrible. If Jiandong saw her, he would probably be unable to walk."
It was only six o'clock. Shen Shuyu didn't expect Shen Erniu to come so early. "Why don't you stay at home and sleep a little longer?"
"You're getting married today, so I have to come and help you no matter what. Even if I can't help, it's good to just talk to you."
"What about the child?"
"Jinbao is holding the child. The child loves his eldest nephew."
Old Mrs. Shen made breakfast and brought it in. "Oh,
I almost didn't recognize that this pretty girl is my sweetheart."
She smiled and said, "Erniu, go up to the bed and have breakfast with Guaibao."
The three of them had breakfast in the house.
The yard became lively after seven o'clock. Aunts and grandmas came to help, some washed vegetables, some cut vegetables, and there were the sounds of children playing.
Goudan and the others came in and praised her, "Sister Shuyu, you are the most beautiful bride we have ever seen."
Shen Shuyu: Look, these kids are very fair. They say the same thing when anyone gets married.
Shen Shuyu gave each of them a handful of candy. The naughty children like the boy went out, and the well-behaved girls like Erya stayed in the room.
The girls all like to stick to their pretty and sweet elder sisters. Shen Shuyu lets them sit on the kang and eat melon seeds and candies.
Usually Erya likes to lean on her sister Shuyu. But today, seeing Shen Shuyu wearing a beautiful dress, she was afraid that her clothes would get dirty, so she didn't lean on her.
Shen Shuyu likes these children very much, especially the girls, who are all very well-behaved and considerate.
Gu Jiandong was wearing a military uniform today. As soon as he put it on, his demeanor changed immediately, and he looked full of righteousness.
He wanted to stay with Shen Shuyu, but when he saw Shen Erniu and the others in the room, he didn't come in, but just passed by the door frequently, his eyes fixed on Shen Shuyu.
At noon, relatives and friends arrived one after another, and Shen Shuyu and Gu Jiandong greeted them at the door.
Gu Jiandong's comrades are all in the army, so it is unrealistic for them to take a week off to attend the wedding. They can only wait until they return to the army and then set up a table and invite their comrades to dinner at home.
Only three of his friends came today, one was Du Changtian, and the other two were Huang Jianhai and Chen Guoxiang, who had just returned from demobilization and were working at the agricultural machinery station.
"Sit inside, sit inside, there's plenty of wine for today."
"Good boy, you are so lucky to marry such a beautiful wife."
Gu Jiandong tried to suppress the corners of his mouth, but failed several times. Shen Shuyu kept on smiling appropriately.
