Chapter 3 The Shen Family Compound adds one more person
Shen Lan took Shen Xia back to her room and found her a new set of clothes that suited her, which she planned to give to her aunt's daughter, but now she helped Shen Xia wear it on her body, and also helped her recomb her hair, Shen Xia was very happy to wear new clothes, and I don't remember being scolded by my uncle just now, I kept touching my new clothes, and kept looking in the mirror, in the mirror, she was wearing two braids and wearing a small lace skirt, so beautiful. It's the first time she's grown up to wear such a beautiful dress, and she doesn't blink when she looks at it. Shen Lan helped her dress up again and sent her back to Shen Xia's mother, who was her second aunt, she was going to be busy, as a bride who was about to get married, she was going to go to the elders to drink tea and water, and to greet relatives and friends, there was no time to pay attention to Shen Xia and their mother and daughter, Li Xidi and Shen Xiangtian were also busy greeting their guests, Shen Qi saw that his backers had walked away, and he also felt bored and went to other places to play. And Shen Xia's mother was also shocked when she saw Shen Xia's dress for the first time, she saw her daughter wearing such a beautiful dress for the first time, she really looked like a little princess. She felt a little relieved in her heart, but she also had to help with the bride's dowry and other things, and hurriedly handed Shen Xia to her grandmother to help watch, Shen Xia glanced at her grandmother, and simply stood aside and watched them busy in and out, her heart was really reluctant to let the eldest sister marry someone else, she knew that the eldest sister would have little time to play with her in the future, but she had no way to prevent the eldest sister from marrying.
After working for most of the day, the bride's car finally set off, Shen Xia saw her eldest brother-in-law, half a head taller than the eldest sister, he was wearing a suit with the groom's big red flower, although the man had a smile, but he looked very fierce, Shen Xia's heart was a little afraid of her, she was not afraid of the big uncle, nor was she afraid of the grandmother, but she was afraid of this eldest brother-in-law. She couldn't help grabbing the corner of Shu Xiaoxiang's clothes, diverted her gaze, and stared intently at the decoration in front of the bridal car, which was the most beautiful pair of dolls she had seen since she was a child, and there were red roses on it, and she even wanted to wait until the eldest sister's wedding to find the eldest sister to come over to play with the pair of dolls. Shu Xiaoxiang watched Shen Xia staring at the decoration on the bride's car, and knew that this girl must have taken a fancy to the pair of dolls. So he carried her into the car to interrupt her thoughts. The group set off in a mighty way, the car carrying the bride drove at the front, Shen Xia and his relatives sat in the second van, followed by more than a dozen vans for the bride, all of whom were Shen Lan's classmates or friends. These are all village customs, and if someone in the village marries far away, at least one person from each family must participate in the gift-giving procession and personally deliver the bride to the groom's house.
At this time, Shen Xia was like a happy bird who couldn't control the joy in his heart, watching around in the car along the way, singing and dancing, attracting a burst of disgusted eyes and scolding, and Shen Qi even warned her fiercely to shut up. But she was so happy today that she didn't have time to pay attention to their complaints. The more fierce Shen Qi was, the louder she sang, and in the end, Shen Qi no longer paid attention to her and covered his ears with his hands, glared at Shen Xia fiercely, and let her sing and dance.
As soon as the car drove out of the village, it suddenly stopped, the bridal car in front stopped, and the dozen or so cars behind couldn't move forward and stopped, and when everyone was wondering, Shen Xia saw the eldest sister wearing a cheongsam walking down from the car, followed by her eldest brother-in-law, followed by their best man and bridesmaid. They didn't know what they were doing, and walked towards the bamboo forest not far away.
The car behind also got out of the car, and they were all talking about what was going on, and the bride was going back to the ancestral hall at an auspicious time, why did the car stop? Li Xidi couldn't sit still in Shen Xia's car, she frowned and opened the van door and went down, and Shen Xia's third aunt also got out of the car. Shen Qi glared at Shu Xiaoxiang's mother and daughter and then got out of the car, he deliberately pushed the car door to make a "bang" sound, Shu Xiaoxiang didn't pay attention to this naughty boy's approach, she hugged Shen Xia and walked out of the car. They all walked in the direction of Shen Lan, and they were all wondering what was going on.
Shen Lan had just heard the cry of a baby coming out of the car, not only did she hear the driver and Shaoxiong, but the best man and bridesmaid also said that they heard it, so they decided to get out of the car to see what was going on. She walked under a big tree and found a cardboard box containing a baby girl, wrapped in a broken quilt, with a piece of red paper and a feeding bottle beside her, and the baby looked like it was only about a month or two. All the people heard the crying and gathered around, and everyone was gossiping.
"Who is so lacking in virtue? Leaving the newborn child on the road. ”
"It looks like a baby girl, and it's probably patriarchal."
"Probably some family wants another boy, and the girl has too many children..."
Shen Lan ignored their words, maybe because she also had a loving motherhood because she was also going to be a mother, she squatted down and looked at the child in the cardboard box, and picked up the red paper next to her, which said the child's date of birth, which was only a month old. Maybe it's because the child is hungry and his cry becomes hoarse, this cry makes Shen Lan feel a little sad, the people in this world are really sad, the flesh and bones that fell from their bodies were so cruelly thrown on the side of the road, in case they didn't pass by this baby girl, wouldn't they starve to death? Alas, the human heart is sometimes really cold. Shen Lan let out a cool sigh from her heart, and hugged the baby girl.
"What are you thinking? Today is your big day, how can you just go and hold an abandoned baby on the side of the road so casually? It will ruin the festivities! Her grandmother Lin Po became angry when she saw this situation, there were enough girls in the family, and she didn't want to raise another one to eat rice. Li Xidi also walked forward, seeing that the child looked like a Peugeot, with big eyes and a red face, but it was a pity that she was a girl, and it was a waste of food to take her in. However, Shen Xia's uncle Shen Xiangtian seemed to be particularly interested in this baby girl, he stepped forward to take the baby girl from Shen Lan's hand, I don't know why he stopped crying as soon as he took the baby girl who was still crying just now, a pair of big watery eyes looked directly at Shen Xiangtian who was holding her, and Shen Xiangtian's face was suddenly full of smiles. Still teasing him, he felt that he had a fate with this child, although it was a girl, but he still decided to adopt her, thinking that it would be good for his daughter to have a daughter by his side after she got married. Shen Xia was also full of curiosity about the child, but they didn't let her see it, so she obediently stayed in her mother's arms, Shen Xiangtian took the little girl in the car despite everyone's objections, so everyone got back into the wedding car, and everything went on.
