Chapter 34: Waiting for the Groom to Pick You Up
Night, soon came.
As soon as it got dark, I felt my heart start beating wildly, and those white curtains fluttered slightly in the night wind, like ghosts, and it made my scalp tingle to see.
There is only one light in the house, which is dusk and yellow, making the whole house look even more secretive.
In the evening, after cooking for me, my grandfather went into the house, and at eight o'clock in the evening, he came out of the house, still holding the wedding dress he had made during the day.
"Mianmian, come, put it on." Grandpa handed me the bright red wedding dress, his face a little gloomy.
Looking at the bright red wedding dress, it formed a sharp contrast with the white curtain behind him, the red, the red was a little dazzling.
I finally couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa, what the hell is going on?" Why do you want to decorate your home like this? Am I going to get married here?"
Grandpa nodded slightly and said, "After you put on your wedding dress, you will wait here until the groom comes to pick you up."
"Who is my bridegroom?" I asked curiously.
Grandpa's eyes suddenly darkened, and his face suddenly became a little ugly, and grandpa almost gritted his teeth and said: "You will know this when the groom comes, if the groom picks you up, you will follow him, he will not harm you, now hurry up and put it on."
Even though I was still terrified, my grandfather would not be wrong for me to do this.
So I took my gown and put it on my body.
My grandfather's wedding dress was just right, and when I was done, he asked me to sit on a chair in the center of the bedroom door, with the door open.
But I sit like pins and needles, and if it were arranged according to the mourning hall, I would be sitting where the coffins of the dead are placed in those mourning halls......
After sitting down, my grandfather turned around and took out a small wooden box from the house and placed it in my hand.
Then, the grandfather, who had been gloomy face, finally showed a smile, but the smile was so stiff.
"Mianmian, this is the dowry given to you by your grandfather, there are no good things, but they are all in it, when you are free, you can open it and take a look, everything you want to know is in this box."
I looked at the small wooden box in my hand with some curiosity, it was only the size of a brick, and the contents were very light, and I didn't know what to put in.
Is my question really all in this?
"Well, now just wait for the groom to pick you up, and even if you're scared, even if you see something terrible, you're going to follow the groom's people, you know? Otherwise, all Grandpa's efforts will be in vain......" Grandpa said earnestly.
Grandpa said terrible things, how terrible should that be?
But after thinking that if I didn't marry tonight, my grandfather and I would die, even though I was afraid, I still gritted my teeth and nodded.
"Good granddaughter." Grandpa reached out and touched my head, maybe I was too tired these days, after the instructions, grandpa instantly showed a particularly tired look, his body shook a few times, and said: "Okay, grandpa is too tired, he is going to rest, you remember, if anyone calls you halfway, you don't want to go with him, you must wait until someone from the groom comes to pick you up, you know?" If you don't leave your chair, no one will be able to pick you up. ”
I replied, in fact, I had already guessed something in my heart, grandpa said so solemnly, it was possible that it would touch dirty things, but I didn't ask.
