Li Xiaoqing and others knew that Su Yue was getting married, so they all were so sad that Wu Xiaoxiao hugged her and started sobbing.
“Yueyue, why are you getting married? I can’t bear to see you go. You are so cruel~”
Su Yue couldn’t laugh or cry, and nodded her forehead, “I think you can’t bear to leave my delicious food, right?”
Being suddenly exposed, Wu Xiaoxiao sniffed, blinked sheepishly, and muttered in a low voice: ” I am used to eating the food you cooked. As the saying goes, from simplicity to luxury it’s easy but from luxury to frugality it’s difficult. If I can’t eat what you cook in the future, I won’t be able to eat what we cook.”
Su Yue laughed, “Then you should learn cooking skills and cook delicious food by yourself. Then, you won’t be afraid of anything.”
Even Li Xiaoqing wanted to sigh now, “It’s possible to improve your cooking skills a little bit, but how can I make it as delicious as you do? It will never be possible in this life.”
The other three people are convinced that no matter how hard they try, they are still far behind Su Yue.
Su Yue blinked and said with a smile: “How about I don’t get married? I’ll stay with you.”
Wu Xiaoxiao really wanted to nod her not to get married, but she didn’t dare, “If you don’t get married, and your Han Aiguo knows it was because of us, then we would be dead. He is so tall, he can kill us all with one hand.”
Mao Lin sighed, “No, how can we dare not to let you go get married. Forget it, you should get married. We can’t bear the consequences of you not getting married.”
Su Yue was amused by their words. She couldn’t tell that they were so afraid of Han Aiguo. He wasn’t mean either.
Although several people were really reluctant to leave Su Yue, they still helped Su Yue pack her things together. With their help, the luggage was packed quickly, and then Han Aiguo took it directly to the Han family.
Seeing that the wedding day was coming in two days, Su Yue stopped going to work and started making sweets at home.
Although every household is poor these days, people always have to buy some melon seeds and candies for weddings to entertain guests, otherwise they will look bad.
But candies are not easy to buy these days. Not only are they not easy to buy, they are also extremely expensive, so Su Yue plans to make some herself to save the old lady from worrying.
She had a lot of non-staple food stamps in her hand, so she ran to the town and bought a lot of white sugar and brown sugar, and also bought a can of milk powder. When she came back, she mixed it with the corn and peanuts at home to make a kind of corn candy and a kind of peanut. For sugar, she also made a kind of toffee. She used the oil paper she bought to wrap the sugar on the outside, and each one was wrapped in the shape of a star. Although there is no special candy wrapping paper, it looks very good-looking.
Su Yue gave some to Wu Xiaoxiao and the others, kept some for herself, and asked Han Aiguo to send the rest to the old lady to entertain the guests.
The candies made by Su Yue are similar in taste to modern candies. They are very delicious. They are a little bit more delicious than the candies of this era. They made Li Xiaoqing’s eyes go straight as they licked their faces and asked for candies for more.
Old Mrs. Han was very happy to receive the candies made by Su Yue. She finally bought some candies, but there were very few candies and were not even enough for home.
She was not willing to give candies to the children because she was afraid that she would not be able to entertain the guests at the wedding and it would be embarrassing. After all, you can’t be stingy on a wedding day like this. You have to give a few wedding candies to the guests to make them happy.
But she didn’t expect that Su Yue had thought of this in advance and sent her so many candies, which would solve her big problem.
The old lady beamed with joy and said to Han Aiguo: “You have grown so old that you are luckier than others. You have found a better wife than anyone else. Now I don’t have to worry about you anymore. You have such a wife. Life will definitely be good in the future.”
Han Aiguo had a smile in his eyes.
“Come on, you guys also want to try the candy made by your sister-in-law.” The old lady gave everyone, one candy each. Then she happily took a candy and opened it and put it in her mouth. She was stunned for a moment when she tasted this.
This candy is so delicious.
The old lady couldn’t help but sigh: “This candy is amazing, so delicious. I, the old lady, have never eaten such delicious candy. It’s better than the candies that the eldest brought back before.”
The third daughter-in-law was the first to throw the candy into her mouth, and she also said, ” mother, what kind of candy is this? It’s so delicious.”
Han Lao Er and Han Lao San saw her saying this, they originally planned to save candy for the children, but now they can’t help but want to try it.
The corners of Han Aiguo’s mouth curled up slightly, and he silently peeled off the paper and stuffed the candy into his mouth, narrowing his eyes slightly.
After Mrs. Han finished eating the candy, she immediately went to get the jar she had specially placed for food and put the candy into the jar. “No, no, the candy made by the eldest’s wife is so delicious. I guess there is a lot of materials used, so we can’t just distribute them all, we will just give two or three to each family, and we will have the rest to ourselves.”
Seeing the old lady putting away the candies, the children became anxious, and Xiao Lei and Maomao ran up and hugged her and shook her legs and said, “Grandma, give us some more, some more.”
The two children almost shook the old lady and she gave each of them slap on buttocks, “You guys, two greedy boys will go crazy when they see something delicious!”
The two boys were so obsessed with candy that they still wanted it even if they were beaten. Maomao simply hugged her legs and sat on her feet , “You can give me more grandma. Otherwise I won’t let you go.”
The old lady was so angry with him that she yelled at Han Laosan: “Hurry up and pull your son away from me, this bastard is getting better and better at cheating.”
Han Laosan hurriedly came up and hugged Maomao away, gave him a few slaps, and immediately beat him until he cried.
Han Laosan’s daughter-in-law felt distressed. She snatched Maomao from Han Laosan’s hand and coaxed her while coaxing her: “Mom, why don’t you give this candy to children instead of giving it to other people’s children? Why don’t you give it to your own grandson?”
Old Mrs. Han spat at her, but she still took out another handful from the jar and gave two more candies to each of the four children. “That’s all, who dares to ask more? Come to me and I will beat you.”
The children laughed when they got the candy, and finally stopped pestering the old lady.
Mrs. Han hid the jar in her cabinet and locked all the other food used to entertain guests in the cabinet.
This way you won’t be afraid that the children will sneak in and take it while the adults are not around.
********
In this way, two days passed by in a flash, and today was the 15th, the day when Han Aiguo will get married.
The whole family was gathered by Mrs. Han early in the morning. Han Lao’s second daughter-in-law, third daughter-in-law, and several aunts who came to help were responsible for the kitchen.
Han Lao Er and Han Lao San were responsible for the outside affairs and
responsible for doing odd jobs and looking after the children at home. The old lady herself entertained the guests who came today.
Han Aiguo is the groom today, and his first priority is to pick up his wife. Today he is wearing a military uniform, looking extraordinarily tall and straight, with a red paper flower pinned to his chest which makes him even more energetic. This outfit attracted compliments from several aunts who came to help.
As soon as the time came, Han Aiguo pushed his bicycle, which also had a big red flower on the front, to the educated youth spot to pick up the bride, followed by the three brothers of the Han family and several other relatively good young men in the village. People went to welcome the bride in a lively manner.
Today, Su Yue is wearing a small floral jacket made for her by Mrs. Han and a pair of floral cotton shoes. Her black hair is braided in two popular braids and hanged down on her chest. Wu Xiaoxiao also put makeup on her face. Although Su Yue thought this dress was a bit tacky, she couldn’t help but see her already beautiful face now looked even more charming, making the members of the club who came to watch the excitement stare in the eyes.
Han Aiguo is so awesome. He has married a fairy and returned home. What good luck is this.
“Aiguo, please take your wife home quickly. Such a beautiful wife is yours!” the aunt who followed and acted as matchmaker joked with a smile.
Everyone around laughed and echoed, “Hurry up and pick up the bride, the groom can’t wait!”
Han Aiguo looked at Su Yue with a smile in his eyes, walked to her step by step, leaned over slightly, and held her up on the bed and strode out of the door.
The people around burst into laughter again.
Han Aiguo directly carried Su Yue onto the back seat of the bicycle. He held the handlebar in front and slowly took his bride home with a slight limp.
These days, we pay attention to “breaking down the four old and establishing the four new”, so the wedding is not as complicated and grand as before. Han Aiguo and Su Yue simply bowed to Mrs. Han under the portrait in the hall, acknowledged their marriage.
After receiving the red envelope given by Mrs. Han, the ceremony was completed, and the next step was to have dinner.
There are ten tables set up in the yard. These days, most people have four main dishes for weddings, namely braised pork, fried dumplings, steamed salted duck, and Chinese cabbage vermicelli. But Mrs. Han attaches great importance to today’s banquet. In addition to these four dishes, she also added two additional side dishes, one of shredded potatoes and one of stewed tofu, making up six dishes. Moreover, the portions of each dish were sufficient, and they were not greasy at all. Everyone at the banquet was full of oil, and they kept praising the Han family for the grand banquet.
Mrs. Han felt even more proud after hearing this, and she smiled from ear to ear all day long.
Su Yue originally wanted to go out to help, but Mrs. Han said that she was a newlywed today and would not let her get involved in outside matters, so she was asked to rest in the room and put away the things she had brought.
Han Lao’s second daughter-in-law and Han Lao’s third daughter-in-law were busy in the kitchen, waiting for all the dishes to be served before they had time to rest.
The two of them didn’t go out to eat. They knew that most of the food outside had been taken away. They left a bowl while cooking in advance. At this time, they took it out from the cupboard and sat half of it in the small table.
Han’s third daughter-in-law glanced outside while eating, and when she saw no one, she murmured dissatisfiedly: “It’s so busy today, my waist almost broke due to fatigue. We have been so busy in winter that our backs are sweating, Eldest sister-in-law is not good, she was resting in the room and didn’t even know how to come out to help.”
In fact, Han’s third daughter-in-law liked Su Yue quite a lot and wanted to have a good relationship with her, but since she knew that she was going to marry in and become their sister-in-law, especially when Mrs. Han was so kind to her and even bought her a bicycle. Compared with the old lady’s attitude towards her, third daughter-in-law gradually became unhappy. Seeing that Su Yue began to dislike her, she also felt bad for her hostility.
Han’s second daughter-in-law’s eyes flashed and she said, “Don’t talk nonsense. My mother didn’t ask us to come out to help when we got married.”
“Second sister-in-law, please stop pretending. Don’t you have any opinions in your heart?”
The third daughter-in-law curled her lips in disdain, “When we got married, we only had four dishes, but when my eldest brother got married, he had six dishes. Not only the dishes, but look at the candies, melon seeds, etc, which are better than ours before, and she also has a bicycle. The old lady is just partial. She likes her eldest son and her eldest daughter-in-law the most in her heart!”
Han’s second daughter-in-law pursed her lips tightly, lowered her head to eat the food and stopped talking. In fact, she has her own opinions in her heart, and feels that the old lady is too partial, but she is not as stupid as the third daughter-in-law who talks about it every day, saying that does no good and still offends others, so she won’t do it.
At this time, Maomao and Xiao Lei ran in. The two of them threw themselves into their mother’s arms and started acting coquettishly. “Mom, I want to eat sweets, but Grandma is not giving it to us.”
Han’s second daughter-in-law said to Xiao Lei in her arms. : “I don’t have any sugar either. The sugar is stored with your grandma.”
Xiao Lei gave up and wriggled around in her arms, “Then you go and ask grandma. I want some candy. I want to eat it!”
Maomao also imitated him and started to make trouble: “Mom, I want to eat candy too, I want to eat, I want to eat!”
Han’s third daughter-in-law rolled her eyes and said: “Son, I don’t have it, but your eldest auntie has a lot of candies in her hands. Today’s bride is your auntie. You go to her room and call her auntie. If you ask her for candy, she will definitely give it to you. If she doesn’t give it to you, you just make a fuss.”
Upon hearing this, Maomao and Xiaolei immediately stopped making trouble and ran to the new house hand in hand.
As soon as the two children rushed in, they shouted: “Auntie, we want to eat sweets!”
At this time, everyone else went out to eat, Han Aiguo was also drinking outside, and Su Yue came back just after going out for a walk, she was the only one in the room now. She was arranging her clothes when she was startled by the sudden shouting of two children.
Su Yue looked at the two of them, “Why are you here?”
The two children stretched out their hands towards her, “Auntie, give us some sweets. We want to eat sweets.”
As an aunt, Su Yue would naturally not refuse. She just happened to have some candy left in her bag , took it out and divided three candies into each person.
Seeing that she still had a lot in her hand, and seeing that she was easy to talk to, Maomao immediately shouted, “Auntie, you still have so much, give us a little more.”
Su Yue frowned and refused them , “There are only three candies for each person. The remaining aunt is still needs it and can’t give it to you anymore.”
Seeing that she refused, the two children looked at each other and decided to make trouble. Xiaolei sat down on the ground with his legs He kept kicking back and forth, opening his mouth and yelling, “I want candy, I want candy, but my aunt won’t give me candy.”
This trick was something he often used, whenever his two sisters dissatisfied him with something.
He would lie down on the ground and start acting, and then Han Lao’s second wife would come over and educate his two sisters, asking them to let him go. So whenever he felt something was not going his way, he would lie down on the ground and do this trick.
Seeing his brother like this, Maomao also followed suit and lay down on the ground to act mischievously.
Su Yue felt that the dust on the ground was about to be rolled away by these two naughty kids.
“Get up quickly, your clothes are all dirty!”
The two children ignored her and continued howling.
What Su Yue dislikes the most is naughty children. At this time, two of them come at once, which really makes her head explode. However, she is not someone who just goes along with the children when they make trouble, and she has no intention of doing what they want. , and scared them: “If you keep making noise, I will go to find your grandma and uncle!”
The two children paused in their howling, but they thought that their grandma and uncle were busy outside and had no time to come over, so they felt confident and they started to act up one after another, and each one howled louder than the other.
Su Yue was really angry and wanted to beat someone up. How could there be such a naughty child?
Just when Su Yue was about to pull the two children up, a deep voice sounded, “What are you two doing?”
Han Aiguo came in with a bowl of food, put it on the cabinet in the room, and then looked at the children sitting there seriously.
Except for Han Aiguo, who often laughs in front of Su Yue, he is basically expressionless at home and has nothing to say to the children. In addition, he is tall and has a fierce aura, so this person is actually the person that the children in the family are most afraid of. It’s not Mrs. Han, but their uncle.
In their eyes, the uncle is synonymous with viciousness, and none of them dare to make trouble in front of him.
So Xiaolei and Maomao’s howling and acting stopped immediately. The two little ones sat on the ground and looked at him uneasily, completely unable to stand up.
Han Aiguo looked at them indifferently and said: “Get up.”
The two children immediately got up from the ground and were extremely well-behaved.
Han Aiguo looked at Su Yue, “What’s wrong with them?”
Su Yue simply told him what happened just now. Han Aiguo looked at the two boys with a much stern look, “Who taught you to ask for things from others like this ?”
The two children shrank their necks and said nothing.
Su Yue pulled his sleeve, indicating that it was not the time to teach children now, as there were still a lot of things waiting to be done.
Han Aiguo also knew that now was not the time for education, so he said: “Get out of here. Don’t ask for things from others like this next time!”
After hearing this, the two children turned around and ran away as if their buttocks were on fire.
Su Yue couldn’t help laughing.
Han Aiguo didn’t know what she was laughing at. He took her hand and squeezed it. He took the bowl and put it in her hand. “You haven’t eaten anything. Are you hungry?”
Su Yue was not hungry, but she didn’t refuse. He was so affectionate that he started eating with the bowl in hand, and even put all the fat in the bowl into his mouth. She doesn’t like eating fat.
Han Aiguo opened his mouth and swallowed the fat until he had eaten all the fat in the bowl. Then he wiped his mouth and said, “I’m out. If you want anything, you can tell me and mother directly.”
Su Yue knew that he wanted to entertain the guests and said: “Go quickly, I’m fine.”
Han Aiguo went out. When he went out, he greeted Maomao and Xiaolei and told them not to come in and make trouble again. The two children were afraid of him and nodded obediently.
Su Yue finished a bowl of food and then continued to pack her things. When everything was put away and the banquet outside ended, the drinkers took the wedding candies given by Mrs. Han and returned home satisfied.
Seeing everyone starting to clean up the mess, Su Yue walked out and helped everyone clean up.
Tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks were all borrowed from other families in the village. The four brothers of the Han family returned the borrowed items one by one from house to house.
Mrs. Han and her three daughters-in-law gathered the dishes together and carried them to the well for cleaning. Most of the dishes were borrowed and had to be returned after they were cleaned.
Hehua and Taohua also helped clean up the garbage on the ground.
This tidying up lasted until dark, and the whole family was so tired that they could not stand upright. Mrs. Han heated up the leftovers from lunch, and the whole family had a simple dinner with the leftovers, and then they washed up and went to rest.
