Chapter 6: This is Your Bride
Fang Mumu paused, reacted later, and only said silently, "Okay." ”
After that, Yu Cai and Fang Mumu had nothing to say at the dinner table, and they didn't say anything all the way out of the car, and when they bought the dowry, Yu Cai asked, "How do you feel about this?" Fang Mumu would only nod and say, "Very good." Yu Cai negotiated the price with the boss to buy. Other than that, nothing else was said.
In the evening, when Yu Cai and Fang Mumu came back from the town, the people they met on the road smiled and congratulated them.
Especially when passing by Yuan Chengle's house, Yuan Chengle's mother happened to come out of the house, saw Fang Mumu and Yu Cai, and stepped forward to greet him with a smile, "Mumu is really congratulating you, you are getting married." ”
"Thank you, Mom Lele." Yu Cai's body unconsciously separated Fang Mumu from Yuan Chengle's mother, and responded with a smile.
"If you need help, you're welcome." Yuan Chengle's mother said polite words, she didn't think that Yu Cai would need to help her in anything, especially after Fang Mumu delayed his youth for ten years because of Yuan Chengle.
"Okay, we're not going to be polite." Yu Cai took Fang Mumu's hand as he spoke, "That's nothing, let's go back and get busy first." ”
"Goodbye, Auntie." Fang Mumu lowered her head and said goodbye to Yuan Chengle's mother, the moment she raised her head, she seemed to see Yuan Chengle walking out of his house out of the corner of her eye, she instantly panicked and quickly followed her mother, walking side by side with her mother.
After entering the door, the home does not seem to be Fang Mumu's home, it has been carefully cleaned up, it looks very neat, very clean, and very festive, especially the happy words densely pasted on the windows and walls, which are a little dazzling.
That night, there were still many people in Fang Mumu's house, just like the day before Wang San'er was ready to marry her. The only difference is that on this night, in the main house, the only person who accompanied the guests was her father, and her mother slept with her in the side room. In Fang Mumu's view, it was more like a kind of surveillance, and she knew that her parents were worried that she would do something stupid again. She didn't poke it, but just enjoyed their unprecedented worry and care with peace of mind.
Before the day was completely bright, Fang Mumu, who was already sleeping very lightly, was directly woken up by the sound of firecrackers, they said that this is called a lifelong shot in the early morning, and the woman married and became the head of her own family.
Fang Mumu hadn't opened her eyes yet, Yu Cai's hand was already on her shoulder, "Mumu, I'm going to get up, I can't sleep much today, and I have to wash up and dress up as a bride." ”
"Hmm." Fang Mumu responded, but still didn't open his eyes. Originally, she should have felt happy, all this was what she and her father wanted to come, but at this moment there was no joy in her heart, even a little sadness, her ears were the sound of the wind when her mother folded the quilt, and the tears that flowed from the corners of her eyes.
"Mumu~" Yu Cai knelt in front of Fang Mumu and shook Fang Mumu again, "I really can't sleep anymore, I will be laughed at if I sleep again." ”
As soon as Yu Cai's voice fell, there was a knock on the door of the side room, and Fang Jian's voice sounded outside the door, "the child, hurry up, the person dressed as a bride is already waiting outside." ”
"I'm already up, let's go out." Yu Cai agreed to Fang Jian, put his hands on Fang Mumu's shoulders, and sat up with Fang Mumu in his arms, "Mumu, be good, I really can't sleep anymore, I have to get up." ”
"Okay." Fang Mumu agreed again, and before she opened her eyes, she recalled what her father had just called her mother, 'child', which she had never heard before. Fang Mumu thought that after she got married, her father should be okay to her mother, she should be. Fang Mumu opened his eyes and looked at his mother in the light, tears swirling in his eyes, "Mom~"
"Silly boy, don't cry on this happy day." Yu wiped Fang Mumu's slightly moist eyes with her hand, and when she persuaded Fang Mumu not to cry, she shed tears first, and she hurriedly rubbed her sleeve on her eyes, "Look at me, and say that you, I am also an uncompetitive person." ”
Fang Mumu looked at her mother and laughed, and she also laughed, she hugged her mother, "Mom~ Thank you." ”
"You stupid boy, you do these irrelevant stupid things on such a happy day today, I'm your mother, what do you say thank you for?" Yu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes again with his sleeve, and patted Fang Mumu's back, "Okay, if you do it again, the people outside are in a hurry, but they are going to rush in." ”
"Hmm." Fang Mumu left his mother's embrace and quickly got off the kang.
"Mumu, you wait." Yu Cai half-knelt on the side of the kang and called Fang Mumu who stood up, "You tell your mother the truth, do you want to marry?" If you don't want to get married, Mom will go out and make a fuss. ”
"Mom~" Yu Cai said too seriously, making Fang Mumu feel a little dazed, but she immediately smiled, "It's time for me to get married." ”
"Okay." Yu Cai lowered his head and stopped talking.
Fang Mumu turned around and hugged her mother again, she wanted to say something, but was interrupted by a knock on the door again.
"Hurry up, you two mothers and sons, you won't be able to catch up if it's too late." Fang Jian's tone was only anxious urging, not the slightest impatience.
Fang Mumu thought, this may be the charm of the big day.
"Hey, it's coming!" Yu Cai hurriedly got off the kang, put on his shoes, and walked to the door, "This is coming." ”
Fang Mumu stood by the kang and didn't go out, she could hear her mother and the people at the door greetings, and the voices of the greetings were all telling of joy. As soon as the words over there fell, Fang Mumu saw a few mothers-in-law rushing in, holding some bottles and jars, Ding Ling was very good.
One of the mothers-in-law surnamed Liu shouted at Yu Cai outside, "Oh, my sister Yu Cai, why don't you even have a mirror in your house?" ”
Yu Cai heard the voice, hurriedly rushed to the door, stuck in from behind the curtain and looked at a few mothers-in-law with some embarrassment, "A few sisters are really embarrassed, I forgot about buying mirrors." I believe that your craftsmanship can clean up our house without mirrors. ”
"Ordinary people say that this mother-in-law of the Fang family is stupid, I think it's a rumor, I see if this mouth can talk about it." The mother-in-law who answered the conversation laughed, and the other mothers-in-law laughed along.
When the mother-in-law surnamed Liu saw Yu Cai say this, she couldn't be uninteresting anymore, so she had to smile and say, "It's Yu Cai's sister who has lifted it, if there is no mirror, there will be no mirror, then you hurry up and fetch some water, we will definitely clean up your girl like a fairy daughter in the sky." ”
"Hey, thank you sisters first, I'll go fetch water." After Yu Cai finished talking with a smile, he went out, and Fang Mumu could hear the sound of his mother running. After a while, Yu Cai came with a basin of warm water, and after that, he brought in a pot of water to prepare.
Fang Mumu sat on the stool, letting the mothers-in-law wipe their faces, their hair, and their necks with wet towels. They picked up their combs and combed Fang Mumu's tangled hair, and they took some choking powder and slapped her face vigorously... The sounds outside also grew more lively over time.
It was almost noon, and several mothers-in-law who were dressed up for Fang Mumu had already packed up and gradually stopped.
"Girl, did you take a shower last night?" The mother-in-law surnamed Liu asked about Fang Mumu's skills, and when she got started, she had to take off Fang Mumu's clothes, "If you don't wash it, a few of our mothers-in-law will get started." ”
"Washed." Fang Mumu's whole body shrank back, her arm in front of her, "Thank you for helping me clean up, I'll change my clothes myself." ”
"Yo~" The mother-in-law surnamed Liu looked at Fang Mumu with her hands in the air and smiled, "You see that although this girl is a little old, she is still as shy as a thirteen or fourteen female doll." Okay, okay, you come by yourself. ”
The mother-in-law surnamed Liu gave the other mothers-in-law a color, and they poured out as they did when they came, and the whole side room fell silent.
Fang Mumu touched his face and hair little by little with his right hand in the quiet that was different from the bustle outside the house, and they seemed to be different from usual.
"Mumu, do you need your mother's help?"
Yu Cai's voice sounded outside the door, interrupting Fang Mumu's wandering thoughts, "No, no, I can do it myself." ”
"Okay, then hurry up, the wedding car is coming soon." After Yu Cai finished speaking, he left the door of the side room.
Fang Mumu stood up and took out a red dress she bought yesterday from the cabinet, she tried this red dress in the store yesterday, and she also saw it in the mirror in the store, it was really good-looking, but she was a little inappropriate at that time, and she didn't know if she was dressed up today and this dress matched.
The noon sun hung high in the sky, trying to emit light and heat like a hot summer, but the lively atmosphere of the people on the earth because of the happy event overshadowed its limelight.
Fang Mumu got dressed, and after waiting in the side room for a while, she heard the sound of a car honking outside, her right hand clutched her left wrist tightly, and the sweat in her palms kept pouring out.
After a while, Yu Cai came in with a stupid person. The man is not small, his round face and his body are not fat or thin, and he is wearing a red suit, if it weren't for his stupid face, he should be a good candidate.
"Come, this is your bride." Yu Cai took Fang Mumu's hand and put it in the groom's hand.
"Bride! Bride! Bride! The silly bridegroom screamed excitedly like a child getting a delicious candy.
Yu Cai's tears flowed out again, and she looked at Fang Mumu with inquiring eyes.
Fang Mumu knew that as long as he showed the slightest reluctance now, his mother would shake off the stupid groom's hand and say to a room of people: My daughter is not married. Whatever the consequences, the mother was willing to do that. But she couldn't do that, she had added too much gossip to the family that she shouldn't bear.
Fang Mumu smiled and bowed to Yu Cai, and then bowed to Fang Jian, who was standing behind the crowd at the door, "Dad, Mom, thank you for raising your daughter for twenty-eight years, your daughter is not filial, she is going to get married today, you have to take care of yourself." ”
Yu Cai wanted to step forward and hug Fang Mumu, but was pulled by the Xi Pozi next to him, "Mother-in-law, okay, okay, if you go on like this, this hour will pass." ”
Xi Pozi said that, she didn't pay attention to Yu Cai, but pushed the groom and bride out of the side room, and took the bride and groom into the car under the joy of a crowd.
Those who wanted to go to the groom's house for a banquet followed the empty car behind.
Because the woman's parents could not attend their daughter's wedding, when the crowd left with the convoy of relatives, only Fang Jian and Yu Cai were left in the originally lively courtyard to watch the convoy of relatives. Fang Jian let out a long sigh of relief, but Yu Cai leaned on the door and shed tears silently.
