Chapter 57 Married
Qin Yingxue turned and walked towards the courtyard.
The person thrown into the toilet was naturally Xie Guodong, but in order not to arouse suspicion, she naturally had to join in the fun.
Xie Guodong had already been rescued, but even before we got close, there was a stench.
Qin Yingxue stood at a distance, covering her nose with her hand.
Although it was already summer, Xie Guodong's face was bluish and his eyes were tightly closed after being soaked in sewage for most of the night, clearly indicating that he had been unconscious for a long time.
Having no other option, Qin Jiaxing mobilized the strong young men of Qin Village to take Xie Guodong to the county hospital overnight.
The three Qin brothers silently fetched water to wash the floor, while Li Hehua and Zhou Lanhua cooked a bowl of noodles for everyone who had been up all night.
After finishing their noodles, everyone took a nap, and then got busy again as dawn broke.
People borrowed tables and chairs, others went shopping, and the yard quickly became lively as people washed, chopped, and started cooking.
Qin Yingxue was woken up and lay in bed yawning.
Although it was noisy last night, no one got a good rest.
But when there's a happy occasion, his energy and spirits are exceptionally high.
Qin Yingxue pushed open the door and went out, just in time to see Zhou Lanhua carrying a bowl of poached eggs: "Little sister, eat something first to fill your stomach, you don't have time to eat anything today."
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Qin Yingxue smiled and accepted the bowl, but upon seeing three poached eggs in it, she suddenly felt a pang of sadness. "Where's Mom?"
"She's busy in the kitchen with your aunt. I'll help you comb your hair after you finish eating..."
Qin Yingxue spent the entire morning in her room organizing her dowry and getting ready.
Although Zhou Lanhua was born in a rural area, her skill in combing hair was passed down from her maternal grandmother.
Qin Yingxue abandoned the elaborate bridal hairstyle and had Zhou Lanhua braid her hair into a plait. Afterward, she put on the modified military uniform, exuding a heroic and dashing air.
According to village custom, the groom should arrive around 10 a.m. with relatives and friends to fetch the bride.
At exactly ten o'clock, firecrackers went off outside, and then Qin Yingxue heard Chen Jialiang's loud voice: "Sister-in-law, Brother Chuan has come to marry you!"
Qin Yingxue opened the window and saw Song Yanchuan surrounded outside the courtyard with a group of energetic young men.
Qin Dahai, Qin Dajiang, Qin Dahe, and other strong young men from his uncle's family, including Qin Dajin, Qin Dayin, and Qin Datian, all blocked Song Yanchuan's way...
Song Yanchuan, dressed in a crisp military uniform, his face glowing with health, was handing out red envelopes, cigarettes, and candy with a broad smile...
The wedding was lively, but also chaotic.
In the end, Qin Yingxue felt very tired, really tired.
It felt like hundreds of chicks were chirping incessantly in my ears, and the muscles on my face were stiff from smiling.
The fried egg she ate in the morning was digested quickly, but she didn't even have time to drink water.
You're surrounded by people, all offering their blessings, giving you red envelopes and candies...
By the time Qin Yingxue could finally catch her breath, Song Yanchuan had already taken her back to the Song family home and put her in her new house.
The main event that evening was at the Song family's place, and there would be a large number of guests outside that Song Yanchuan needed to entertain.
"I'll have someone bring you some food. You can stay in your room and rest well," Song Yanchuan said with concern before leaving, noticing the undeniable fatigue on Qin Yingxue's face.
Qin Yingxue nodded. Her mind was blank, and she didn't even have the strength to speak.
Song Yanchuan poured a glass of water for Qin Yingxue and gently closed the door.
Qin Yingxue couldn't wait to buy some milk and bread from the mall to fill her stomach first.
After drinking a few more sips of the spiritual spring water, he felt much better and then let out a sigh of relief.
I've finally caught my breath.
Rural customs are indeed quite complicated and tiring.
In my past life, when I married Xie Guodong, both families invited relatives and friends to a restaurant, which was about ten tables in total.
Unlike today, not only did the entire Qin Village mobilize, but even relatives and friends came.
Qin Yingxue calculated that the Qin family had set up fifteen tables for lunch.
There will definitely be eighteen tables at the Song family's place tonight.
Fortunately, she had already made an appearance when she was taken to the Song family, so she didn't have to go out for social engagements that night.
Qin Yingxue lay back on the bed and let out a long sigh.
A series of footsteps approached, and Qin Yingxue jumped up.
"Sister-in-law, Brother Chuan asked me to bring you this food. Please have something to eat first." A girl of about twelve or thirteen years old carried a bowl of rice with a few pieces of braised pork and vegetables on it and handed it to Qin Yingxue.
"Thank you." Qin Yingxue felt hungry again when she saw the food, so she reached out and took it, expressing her gratitude.
The girl blushed, shook her head repeatedly, perhaps a little shy, and ran away as if fleeing.
Qin Yingxue couldn't help but chuckle at the little girl's reaction. The Song family had hired a chef to cook for them, and the food was just as good as that of the chefs at state-run restaurants.
After finishing her bowl of rice and dishes, Qin Yingxue still felt a little unsatisfied.
After her stomach was properly full, Qin Yingxue finally had the leisure to look around the bridal chamber.
The room wasn't big, about twenty square meters.
The walls were freshly painted, and their clean white color made them look very cozy.
Near the door is a window with floral curtains. Under the windowsill is a table with a mirror, a comb, and toiletries.
Her dowry was placed in the room, almost filling every available space.
The Qin family made four new cotton quilts for Qin Yingxue, as well as a whole set of brand-new solid wood furniture: two square wooden chests painted red, filled with new clothes and shoes, a double-door wardrobe, a dressing table with a mirror, and some new washbasins, foot basins, chamber pots, and the like.
Qin Yingxue felt a mix of emotions upon seeing the dowry.
Since Jiang Linlin returned, she has rarely been home and therefore did not notice when they were preparing these dowries.
They thought that Jiang Linlin had won them over and that they wouldn't care about their marriage anymore.
Can……
Qin Yingxue felt a pang of sadness and rubbed her nose before sitting back down on the bed.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Qin Yingxue began to take stock of her space, preparing gifts for tomorrow's meeting and gifts for her return visit three days later.
Song Yanchuan was no ordinary person after all, so she couldn't easily use the mall and her spatial abilities.
After some careful selection, and finally choosing the right gifts for everyone, the door was pushed open.
Qin Yingxue's heart skipped a beat, and she belatedly realized that it was already evening.
The hustle and bustle outside had subsided, and everyone had dispersed.
Song Yanchuan tugged at his collar and approached step by step.
Perhaps it was because of the alcohol, but her usually aloof face was flushed, and even her usually cold gaze was filled with a captivating tenderness and affection.
Qin Yingxue's heart pounded even harder as she met Song Yanchuan's deep eyes, and she immediately tensed up.
“Yingxue…” Song Yanchuan reached out and took her slightly cold hand in his, his voice gentle, “Are you still hungry? Do you want me to get you something to eat…”
"No need." Qin Yingxue shook her head, then looked at Song Yanchuan and suddenly smiled, "Song Yanchuan, you're not nervous too, are you?"
