Chapter 302

The wound on Guoguo’s body was getting better day by day. And the days were passing by. The autumn wind took the leaves away, and the north wind ushered in snow again. Everything was covered by snow.

The valleys on either side were completely covered in snow, and the sound of the water below the canyon stopped. The entire Shanwai tribe was unusually quiet.

It was also very cold here in winter, plus they all lived in wooden houses, wihich made it even colder when the wind blew in.

Shanwai Muya has grown up in this place,in such an environment, so he had long been used to it. But Guoguo came from the south to the north, and it took him a year to adapt to the cold of Yanzhou. It was not long before he arrived at another colder place. It was a real test for him.

For some reason, when the weather got cold, Guoguo’s wound started to recover slower. He had recovered a lot before, but it was still the same when the winter came. The cloth was still not completely removed, and he still needed a stick to walk, but his chest wouldn’t hurt anymore.

So Guoguo was glad that his internal injury had been well.

But due to his health, his marriage to Shanwai Muya would be postponed until the spring of next year, which made Shanwai Muya, who was supposed to be married in winter, suffer, which was mainly from Shanwai Muzhu.

Because Shanwai Muya didn’t expect that Guoguo’s wound would be cured so slowly, and he couldn’t let Guoguo marry him with wound, so he could only go find the patriarch to postpone the wedding day to next year. Coincidentally, Shanwai Muzhu found out  this thing and he even laughed at Shanwai Muya in front of a lot of people.

It was not his fault, but Guoguo was also innocent. Guoguo would get involved as long as Shanwai Muya retorted. This was not what he wanted, so he was ridiculed by Shanwai Muzhu severely. But he did said anything to Guoguo when he got back. Guoguo heard it from the person who came to him to listen to stories.

He was not happy either. He had to care more about Shanwai Muya both emotionally and intellectually. Guoguo couldn’t avenge Shanwai Muya directly, so he could only think of a different way.

Shanwai Muzhu often came to listen to stories. But after that, Guoguo would refuse to tell stories as long as Shanwai Muzhu came. And as he did it more and more, people started to find it out. Everyone who wanted to listen to the stories had also started to reject Shanwai Muzhu and refused to let him in.

After such a few times, Shanwai Muzhu stopped coming and he didn’t bother Shanwai Muya any more. Every now and then, Shanwai Muya wouold wonder if Shanwai Muzhu was thinking of some other way to get back at him because he had not appeared for so long.

Guoguo smiled without saying a word.

By the time of the New Year, Shanwai Muya had already made the wedding gown of the two of them. They were made according to the style of the wedding gown of the Shanwai clan, which was red, good-looking and festive.

After seeing the wedding gown, Guoguo had begun to look forward to getting married. After spending a few months together, he felt that it was not bad to have a smart and good-looking husband like Shanwai Muya.

Guoguo couldn’t help but think of the joke he made with Tangtang about getting married. At that time, he said he would find out as long as he gave it a try. He didn’t expect this sentence to come true, and he was about to get married soon.

……

New year was coming after the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. When the snowflakes landed, the year was over again before we knew it.

The Spring Festival was very lively in Shanwai tribe . Everyone spent New Year’s Eve together and a bonfire was lit outside. Everyone sang and danced together, then made New Year’s wishes and had dinner that had been prepared long ago.

After eating, they went back to their own homes. The people here did not celebrate New Year’s Day. After the evening was over, it was the same as usual, nothing special, but very simple.

This was the first year that Guoguo had not spent with his family in so many years, he was a little depressed.

It was so obvious that Shanwai Muya could tell that there was something wrong with him, but he didn’t ask Guoguo why he was unhappy. Instead, he tried all he could to make him happy. He recollected all the games he played when he was young to ask Guoguo to play with him.

It took not only brains but also physical strength to play games. Guoguo was too tired running around during the day, so he fell asleep very quickly at night. In that case, there wasn’t much time for him to think about anything else. When his sentiment slowly passed, Shanwai Muya didn’t take him out any more and Guoguo also understood his intentions.

Although he did not say it, he was really touched.

Guoguo felt that he should do something for Shanwai Muya, too. He didn’t have as many ideas as his father and was not very good at speaking sugared words. So he went to cook for Shanwai Muya directly.

It wasn’t anything new, and it was all the dishes here, but he had never done it before.

It wasn’t that Guoguo didn’t want to do anything else, but that he didn’t have any ingredients and he was unable to do what he hoped.

It happened that Shanwai Muya went out that day, and when he came back at noon, he saw a table of dishes and Guoguo coming out of the kitchen with a plate of dishes. He opened her mouth in surprise, “Did you cook all this?”

Guoguo nodded. “Yes. I’ve never done it before. I don’t know how it tastes. Go wash your hands first and I’ll get the rice.”

After Guoguo said this, he went into the kitchen again. Shanwai Muya smiled when he saw the table of dishes that looked good. What a good feeling!

There was someone who was waiting for him to go home every day. Occasionally, there would be a table of food waiting for him. He had never experienced such happiness, but he got it from Guoguo now, who had yet to marry him.

Shanwai Muya found that he was more and more reluctant to let go of Xu Mu.

The smile that he had just raised suddenly faded. He knew he could not keep him after all. What he has thinking about was his home, no matter how long it would take. But he could only stay in this place until he was dead.

When Guoguo came out with the food, he saw Shanwai Muya was still in a daze. He urged him, “Why are you still standing? Go and wash your hands to eat! This dishes were getting cold.”

“Oh, okay!” Upon hearing Guoguo’s words, Shanwai Muya came to his senses and went to the kitchen to wash his hands.

While eating, Guoguo stared at Shanwai Muya all the time. Guoguo would look at him nervously every time he moved his chopsticks.

Shanwai Muya was amused by his actions. “It’s delicious.”

Hearing Shanwai Muya’s words, Guoguo felt relieved and said. “That’s good. I haven’t cooked before. I learned a little while watching my daddy cook.”

Shanwai Muya picked up some food for him. “It’s amazing that you can cook so well the first time. I think the first time I cooked, even the rice was burnt.“

Guoguo smiled, “But you cook very well now, I like it very much.”

Shanwai Muya suddenly blushed and said softly , “I’m glad you like it.”

In Guoguo’s eyes, Shanwai Muya, who was blushing, looked even better.

Guoguo suddenly reached out his hand and grabbed Shanwai Muya’s hands. “Muya, I know you’ve been wronged recently. I’ll get better as soon as possible. I won’t break my promise.”

Shanwai Muya pulled out his hand and hid it behind his back. He didn’t dare to look directly at Guoguo. He just lowered his head and whispered, “It’s okay. I know that, I’ll wait for you to recover.”

Seeing him like this, Guoguo couldn’t say much. He sat down to pick up some vegetables for him and urged him to eat more.

At the beginning of March, the snow was melting and everything started to revive. It finally became a little lively in Shanwai tribe, and you could see a litttle green color here.

Guoguo’s wound was healed too, which was a joyous thing.

After Shanwai Muya found out about it, he couldn’t even close his mouth. The first thing he said was, “Xu Mu, I can finally wear my wedding gown.”

When Guoguo heard this, he smiled softly and touched his head. “Yes, You can wear it finally, and I’ll wear it with you. Also, you can call me Guoguo. My dad and daddy call me that.”

Shanwai Muya tilted his head puerilely and muttered softly, “Guoguo.”

Then he looked at Guoguo and said, “No, I’ll call you Mu. I want to call you in a different way.”

“Alrigh then,” Guoguo rubbed his head a few more times again. He has been particularly fond of rubbing Shanwai Muya’s head recently.

Shanwai Muya wasn’t dissatisfied about it, instead, he was smiling.

Guoguo’s wound healed, which meant that they could finally get married, so Shanwai Muya went to the patriarch to ask him to pick a good day.

Guoguo also went with him. This was the first time that he had gone to someone else’s house after he came here. The patriarch liked Shanwai Muya very much. He said that he would marry him casually to a member of his clan before, but it was all just talk. He just hoped that Shanwai Muya would think about it seriously himself.

The boys in the village were not as ugly as Shanwai Muya said. Some of them were good-looking and capable, but Shanwai Muya didn’t like them.

Later, when he went out, he brought back an outsider. The patriarch didn’t like it very much in his heart. He was worried that this outsider would not be willing to stay in the Shanwai tribe, but he couldn’t help it because Shanwai Muya liked it very mcuh. As soon as he rescued him, he rushed to tell him that he could not disagree with him.

The patriarch was also the only person he had never met after Guoguo came to the Shanwai tribe. In fact, Guoguo also understood that the patriarch must have had some grudges against him, so when Shanwai Muya said taht he needed to meet the patriarch in the morning, he said that he would go with him.

Guoguo also intentionally performed well in front of the patriarch. He did not mention that he would leave after having two children with Shanwai Muya. He only said that he would take good care of Shanwai Muya in the future and make their life better and better.

Guoguo’s attitude was extremely good, and the Patriarch could not find fault with him. In addition, Shanwai Muya had been standing beside him and saying good things about Guoguo, so he could only choose a good day in front of the two of them.

March 18th was the auspicious day for marriage in the zodiac, Guoguo and Shanwai Muya were about to get married on that day.
