Chapter 9 Lovers Eventually Become Married

The sound of the horn was heard in the distance, and the Zhang family lit firecrackers to welcome the bride. Firecrackers crackled, and puffs of white smoke wafted out.

When the guests heard the sound of firecrackers, they crowded to the door to catch a glimpse of the bride. Everyone pushed and shouted, and the road to the door was blocked. Some children who are not yet sensible circle around Shumei, so that Shumei can't move, but even so, Shumei is still full of smiles.

Zhang Jizong decisively gave Shumei a princess hug, hugged Shumei and squeezed into the house from the crowd, Shumei shyly leaned on Zhang Jizong's arms, and kept whispering to him to put himself down, but Zhang Jizong seemed unmoved. The noisy crowd of guests followed, and some of the young people screamed and whistled.

"The bridegroom, let the bride down, the bride is going to cross the brazier." Huang Miniang, who squeezed in from the crowd, gasped and said to Zhang Jizong.

This time, Huang Miniang picked up a big bargain, she didn't have to run from the east to the west, and she had to work hard to match, and she could easily make money from Shumei and her matchmaking.

There was a small burning brazier at the gate, and Huang Qiniang helped Shumei to step over from it.

Relatives and friends shouted in unison: The bride crosses the door and crosses the fire, and next year she will add wealth and wealth; Filial piety to the in-laws is not annoying, family harmony and everything is prosperous. The bride stepped across the brazier, behaving dignified and gentle; The husband sings and the wife follows the same heart, and the peers cherish the elders.

Everyone shouted neatly and rhythmically as if they had been rehearsed. In fact, it's just that everyone knows how to make perfect, which is a custom that every bride will do when she passes through the door.

Shumei stepped over the brazier and followed Zhang Jizong into their new house.

The new house is full of festivities, and every piece of furniture is pasted with the big red character Xi, from the wardrobe and wooden bed to the small warm water bottle sewing box.

The furnishings of the new house are very simple, a wooden bed more than half a meter high, a simple wooden wardrobe, a wooden double-ended cabinet, and a bulky black-and-white TV set is placed on the double-ended table, which was a rarity in those days, and I don't know how Zhang Jizong got it.

The bed is covered with brand-new sheets and bedding, all of which are bright red and purple, and the quilt is also printed with the auspicious pattern of the dragon and phoenix. Zhang Jizong and Shumei sat on the bed stiffly, their faces full of happiness.

Two middle-aged women brought two bowls of sugar eggs and handed them to them, one bowl for each of them, each bowl contained two white and tender boiled eggs, and the two laughed and ate happily. Taking advantage of the gap between the two eating eggs, the two women just now read a lot of auspicious words next to them.

After the two finished eating the eggs, Zhang Jizong quickly took out two red envelopes from his pocket, one for them, and the two took the red envelopes with a smile.

"The bride and groom do good things in pairs, you see that our saliva is dry, should this red envelope also be a pair!" That woman was really greedy, and she was cheeky enough to ask Zhang Jizong and Shumei for red envelopes.

In this happy day, everyone is auspicious, as long as others speak, this red envelope is inevitable, although Zhang Jizong is very reluctant, this hand is tight, and the number of red envelopes on his body is limited, but he still reluctantly smiled and took out the red envelope.

A group of children who were not yet sensible saw that the adults had knocked on the red envelopes, and they rushed into the room in a swarm, surrounding Zhang Jizong and Shumei to ask for red envelopes.

"Wishing you prosperity red envelopes."

"The bride and groom have been together for a hundred years, give birth to a noble son early, good things come in pairs, and red envelopes come in pairs."

"The bride and groom, happy events, red envelopes."

These children are talking auspicious words and asking them for red envelopes. Such a small child, he doesn't know a few big characters, but he talks in a set of ways, probably taught by their adults!

"Kids, get out and play, get out and play......"

Zhang Jizong's aunt kept persuading them next to her, but these little guys were really unrelenting, and they swore not to give up if they didn't get the red envelope, and they kept arguing and shouting around them.

This scene was also something they had expected a long time ago, so they had already prepared their share for these abrasive little cubs. Zhang Jizong's aunt Wu Ju, the reason why she drove away these children may be to save this part!

Helpless, Zhang Jizong had no choice but to dig out the small red envelopes prepared for these children from his pocket and send them to these children one by one.

"Alright, alright, let's all go out! It's time for the feast, let's all go out to eat! The bride and groom have to toast! Hurry up, let's all go out! Be obedient, obedient! Wu Ju hurriedly coaxed the children out, and closed the door with a bang, afraid of another wave, "Oh, my mother!" You guys are really a cash cow! It must have been fooled by those greedy adults, really, even children take advantage of ......"

On this happy day, Wu Ju chattered with a straight face because of this trivial matter, Zhang Jizong looked at Shumei, Shumei smiled at him embarrassedly, he was really embarrassed in his heart, and quickly interrupted Wu Ju's words.

"Ah Niang ......"

"Okay, the banquet has already started outside, you guys come out quickly, and you have to toast your relatives and friends, and introduce your relatives to Shumei, be quick." Wu Ju also realized that he was a little out of shape, and on this happy day, he shouldn't refute his son's face for these trivial matters.

After Wu Ju went out, Shumei finally breathed a sigh of relief, and her tense nerves finally relaxed for a moment.

"What's wrong, are you tired?" Zhang Jizong thought that Shumei was tired, and hurriedly helped her pinch her shoulder.

"No, I'm just a little nervous, okay! Didn't A-Niang say let's go out quickly? Let's go! Later, let Ah Niang and them wait in a hurry. Shumei grabbed Zhang Jizong's hand on her shoulder and said softly.

"Oh hey! This aunt and aunt are so smooth, have you secretly practiced behind my back for a long time? ”

"Good! You're cheap and good, aren't you? See how I clean you up. ”

Shumei said while scratching Zhang Jizong's stomach, this Zhang Jizong is not afraid of heaven and earth, and he is afraid of others tickling him. Every time, Shumei seized on his weakness and subdued him into obedience.

No, he was made to roll on the bed by Shumei again, "My wife spares my life!" My wife spares my life......"

"Call you poor, call you poor......"

Shumei was on a whim, how could she give up so easily. Of course, Zhang Jizong refused to sit still and began to launch a counterattack, and the two scuffled together on the bed.

At this time, Wu Ju pushed the door in, this happy scene came into her eyes, she was so angry that her eyes were about to pop out, she tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart, and turned her face to the side. Zhang Jizong and Shumei got up from the bed in embarrassment, both of them looked a little helpless, especially Shumei, who was so embarrassed that her cheeks were red.
