Chapter 874 Getting married
Bai Shitang didn't know what to say to comfort her at this time, so he just held her hand tightly.
Today is Baishui Liu’s happy day. Although there is a custom of crying in marriage, it is the bride’s crying wedding, not the mother-in-law’s.
When a girl gets married, although she feels joy and hope for the future, she is also more reluctant to leave her family and uneasy about the life she is about to face.
If her parents show too much reluctance at this time, for Bai Shuiliu, this uneasiness will undoubtedly amplify.
Su Mulan understood this truth, so she had to suppress her reluctance, wiped away her tears, and pretended to be happy.
The same is true for Bai Lixia and her three other siblings.
Even though I am reluctant to give up, I am still smiling.
Bai Shuiliu could not see that her family members were pretending to be happy at this time, but she also suppressed the discomfort in her heart and did not show too much on her face.
But no matter how much he suppresses it, a lot of this person's emotions will still be revealed.
Shao Anping was naturally aware of the atmosphere at this time. When saying goodbye to his parents with Bai Shuiliu, he kowtowed a few times to Bai Shitang and Su Mulan, "Don't worry, parents, I will definitely I will treat Shuiliu well and never let him suffer any injustice.”
Shao Anping is an honest and steady child. From the two years of contact, Bai Shitang and Su Mulan also know each other quite well, and they only nodded repeatedly.
Su Mulan even took Bai Shuiliu's hand and gave some instructions.
For example, when you arrive at your husband's house, you should take care of your husband-in-law and serve your parents-in-law. Don't be overly emotional when things happen. If anything happens, you must tell your family.
If it is really inconvenient due to the distance, you can inform Shopkeeper Liao in advance and ask him to help.
If you don't have enough money, you must tell your family that the business and money at home are reserved for their siblings, so don't feel bad about it.
If I’m not busy, I’ll come back from time to time…
They are all nagging and trivial things.
Bai Shuiliu listened carefully and responded one by one, but also squeezed Su Mulan's hands tighter.
The auspicious time has come, and the sedan chair needs to go out. After leaving Baijia Village, we change to a carriage and rush to Fucheng.
With no time to waste, Su Mulan swallowed all the words he had not yet finished, leaving only one sentence, "Take good care of yourself."
"Yeah." Bai Shuiliu nodded, and Bai Mi Dou carried him on his back to the sedan chair.
When the curtain of the sedan chair fell and the suona and gongs rang in his ears, the tears that he had held back for a long time burst out at this moment. Bai Shuiliu could no longer hold back and started sobbing.
It is considered very auspicious for a bride to cry at the wedding.
The people seeing off the relatives gathered around Shao Anping and the sedan chair and went out.
Su Mulan and Bai Shitang led Bai Lixia, Bai Zhuye and Bai Midou to the door with tears in their eyes.
The wedding money and candy along the street are all in bright red, highlighting the joy of this time.
The marriage between Bai Shuiliu and Shao Anping can be said to have been extremely grand and smooth.
The third day after marriage is the day to return home.
It is said that if you are marrying far away, you don’t need to pay too much attention to this day. You only need to look in the direction of your home on that day and bow to your husband together, which is considered a ritual. But Shao Anping and Bai Shuiliu arrived at Baijia Village before noon on this day.
Looking at the tiredness and sleepiness on the faces of the two children, Bai Shitang and Su Mulan guessed that in order to come back for dinner at noon, they probably went out in the middle of the night.
But this is enough to show that Shao Anping respects the Bai family and loves and feels sorry for Bai Shuiliu.
The hearts of Bai Shitang and Su Mulan have been slightly put back into their stomachs.
Baishui Liu's life-long affairs are finally settled, and now she has to worry about her remaining children.
Bai Lixia is already over fifteen, and will soon be sixteen after the new year. If nothing is done, this age will be somewhat old, which will affect her marriage.
Su Mulan found a time to ask Bai Lixia what she meant. She also revealed that many matchmakers came to her home to propose marriage at the end of the year. She told Bai Lixia what she thought was good and asked her who she would like to have a look with. .
As a result, before the introduction was finished, Bai Lixia waved her hands repeatedly, "Mom, I'm still young, so I don't want to worry about this matter too early. I still want to stay with my parents for two more years. "
Hearing these words, Su Mulan couldn't help but blinked.
This familiar tone and excuse are exactly the same as those of Bai Yonghe who still refuses Feng's help in proposing marriage.
It seems that Bai Lixia's situation is similar to Bai Yonghe's.
Su Mulan approached Bai Lixia and asked, "Tell me, what does he look like and what is his temperament? Is your father good-looking?"
“It’s okay, it doesn’t look too bad…”
Bai Lixia blurted out, but soon realized that something was wrong, so she quickly changed her words, "The only bad thing is that I don't know where the person is."
Seeing Bai Lixia's panicked look, Su Mulan's face was filled with embarrassment, "Okay, let me tell you what kind of young man he is, who actually fell in love with my arrogant Lixia. "
Since he was completely seen through, Bai Lixia could only scratch his ears in embarrassment, "The main thing is that it's still not confirmed, we have to wait and see."
"That's it." Su Mulan thought for a while and said, "If you like it so much, then it doesn't matter if you wait a little longer. This marriage should be based on love and compatibility."
Although if you are in love now, you may not necessarily be harmonious and loving for the rest of your life, but if you are indifferent now and only hope for a long-term relationship in the future, then the risk is too great.
In this regard, Su Mulan still adheres to the thinking of modern people and feels that full democracy and freedom should be given.
When Bai Lixia saw what Su Mulan said, she felt grateful that she was tolerant enough and didn't marry her off casually like other people. She just smiled and said, "Thank you, mother."
"If you are happy, mother is happy. What are you doing, mother Xie?" Su Mulan stroked Bai Lixia's head lovingly, pursed her lips and smiled, "Okay, hurry up and pack up and go to bed early. Are you going to follow you tomorrow?" Are you going to buy some more new year goods?"
The Chinese New Year is approaching, and some things are not ready yet.
"Yeah." Bai Lixia agreed and went happily.
This year, although Bai Shuiliu feels a little lonely because Bai Shuiliu is not at home, the two little guys Bai Zhiyi and Bai Yuling are already over one year old, and they are at the age where they can walk, run, and make trouble.
We follow Bai Lixia and her three siblings all day long, kissing, hugging, lifting them up, and even lighting firecrackers and watching fireworks.
It happened that the brother and sister were both timid. Before the older child could throw out the firecrackers, they hurriedly got into the arms of their older brother and sister, closed their eyes, and covered their ears when they lit the fuse.
