Chapter 198
"Wedding dress? What wedding dress?! β
"That's ......" Little Douzi looked at him inexplicably, "it's what the bride wore when she got marriedβ"
"I know! I mean this wedding dress...... Who is it for? β
"Oh...... Oooh! That's what Mr. is asking. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ info" Xiaodouzi woke up like a dream and said busily, "I don't know either." Taking advantage of the fact that Chen Yifei's face did not become more ugly, Xiaodouzi hurriedly explained further, "This is an old custom in the village...... The wedding dress is going to be put on the bride who is chosen today, and I don't know who it is! β
β¦β¦ The chosen bride?!
Chen Yifei was stunned again.
Fortunately, he can basically be sure of one thing now: this wedding dress has nothing to do with Su Jinchen himself. At the same time, his face softened while he breathed a sigh of relief, and he couldn't help but wonder, "How was this bride chosen?" Who are you going to marry? β
But I couldn't help but think that in the past, I heard that in some barren and backward places, the villagers were ignorant and bewitched by the local squires and sorcerers, and they were willing to sacrifice their daughters to the so-called "mountain gods" or "river bo" to pray for good weather in the coming year. On the day of "marrying", the girl chosen by the sorcerer's "divination" will wear a wedding dress and be thrown into the mountains or lakes by the clansmen, and the end is very tragic...... In this Tianjing Village, could it be that there are also such strange and terrifying customs?!
As soon as this thought flashed in his mind, Chen Yifei himself shook his head first-if it was really like what he thought, how could Su Jinchen go to help the abuse? And he has spent so many days with the villagers in this village, although most of them are illiterate, but they are all sincere and kind, and they don't seem to be able to do such a thing.
Sure enough, I saw Xiaodouzi throw away the branch in his hand, and said enthusiastically, "Sir, this is a long story...... Let me tell you more about it! You just came here so you don't know, there is a custom in our village called 'bride snatching', which is on the night of the ninth day of April every year......"
@@@@@@@@
When Ah Tao entered the door, he saw such a scene.
Two men, one big and one small, sat side by side, one talking with his eyebrows fluttering, and the other listening attentively.
But...... Isn't this a bit reversed?
"Little Bean!"
Xiaodouzi, who was dancing with her hands, stopped, "Hey, sister, why are you here?" β
Chen Yifei also turned his head when he heard the sound and smiled gently at her.
Two suspicious blush suddenly floated across Ah Tao's face, and she lowered her eyes uncomfortably and walked quickly to them. "Why were you left behind by Mr. today? But he was naughty and mischievous again, causing trouble for Mr.? β
"I didn't!" Xiao Douzi hurriedly quibbled unconvinced. "I was telling my husband how to 'rob the bride' just now, I don't believe you ask Mr." As he spoke, he winked at Chen Yifei.
Chen Yifei knew that Xiaodouzi didn't want to tell him about the bad things he learned in today's homework, and he was selfish in leaving Xiaodouzi again, so he nodded and agreed, "Yes, Xiaodouzi is very interesting, I can listen to it fascinated, so I delayed some effort......" He looked at her with a smile and said softly, "You came to look for him specifically?" β
Ah Tao was so casually glanced at him, and his heart suddenly felt like a villain was beating a drum, "Yes...... Oh no, not exactly. β
Seeing the inexplicability on the faces of the two, she had to explain, "I have a few words to tell Xiaodouzi...... Also, I came to bring lunch to my husband. β
"What's the matter?" Little Beans wondered.
Ah Tao pinched the bamboo basket in his hand, "I want to tell you...... I'm helping out at my sister's house in Yingchun today, I don't have time to go back, the rice is warmed in the pot for you, you remember to eat, and don't forget to put away the quilt in the yard before dark......"
"Didn't you say this this morning?" Little Bean scratched her head in confusion.
"As far as your memory is concerned, I won't tell you a few more times!" Ah Tao glared at him fiercely, and turned to Chen Yifei and said softly, "Mr. Chen, Sister Yingchun invited everyone to dinner today, Ah Xun is afraid that Mr. will have no one to take care of here, so ...... So I stopped by and brought some food to my husband......" said as he lifted the bamboo basket.
Sure enough, he saw a bowl of rice and four dishes of side dishes in it, and there were all kinds of fish, meat and vegetables, and all of them were his favorite food.
You don't need to ask to know who prepared this food basket.
Although she refused to come back in person, she still remembered him in her heart......
Chen Yifei's heart warmed, and the smile on his face was like a spring breeze, "Thank you, girl." β
"No...... You are welcome. Ah Tao's face turned even redder, and she said softly, "Sir, this basket is still useful, why don't I help you bring the food in first......
"Don't dare to bother the girl, I'll just come by myself." Chen Yifei took the bamboo basket with a smile and turned around and walked into the room.
Ah Tao looked at his back stupidly, and was unguarded and pulled the corners of his clothes.
She was stunned for a moment, and looked down to see her brother sitting on the bench, looking at her inquiringly.
"What's wrong?" The blush on her face did not go away, and she only asked inexplicably.
"What's wrong with you?" Little Douzi looked at her with her cheeks on her cheeks, "Why are you weird today...... Besides, if you deliver food, you will deliver food, why are you still blushing? β
"Who blushes!" Ah Tao took a sip, "I'm walking hot!" After speaking, he said fiercely, "You are not allowed to talk nonsense in front of Mr., otherwise it will be up to me to clean you up when I go back!" β
Xiaodouzi stuck out his tongue disapprovingly, and saw Chen Yifei come out of it with a bamboo basket.
"Those bowls and plates ......"
"That's not in a hurry, it's the same when Mr. runs out." Ah Tao hurriedly said, "It's the Zhou family at the entrance of the village, as soon as you say it, Aunt Zeng will know it." β
"Oh." Chen Yifei nodded and said with a smile, "Then there is Miss Lao...... Please also thank Sister-in-law Zhou on my behalf. As he spoke, he offered the bamboo basket with both hands.
Ah Tao stretched out her hand to take it, and remembered it again, "By the way, sir, because of the 'bride' in the village today, there are still a lot of things to do in the afternoon Sister Yingchun...... She asked me to ask you, can you lend Ah Xun to her for another half day? Moreover, most of the wedding dress is the credit of Ah Xun, and Ah Xun also wants to marry the bride with us! β
If it is really up to him to choose, of course, I still hope that Su Jinchen can come back quickly......
"Naturally." Chen Yifei smiled, "It's rare to meet such a lively day, let her play with peace of mind...... I don't have anything to do here. β
"Good!" Ah Tao nodded happily and couldn't help but say, "Will Mr. Chen come tonight too?" Everyone sang and danced together, and it was lively! Even the town has a lot of young people running up to participate! β
Chen Yifei couldn't help but think of the warm and straightforward mountain songs he heard a few days ago, which made people blush and heartbeat......
"Hehe, this ...... We'll talk about that then. He would rather memorize a few more articles at home for the children.
