Good luck every time

Although Li Shiwu was anxious to marry Acai, he did not forget the proper etiquette.

Maybe what I like and dislike are really different. A Cai has two more pieces of jewelry than during the Chinese New Year.

It is a great blessing for a farmer to have a silver bracelet, not to mention that Acai has one in each hand, making them a pair.

No matter what happens to her in the future, Li Ruyi always feels that she is happy now, and that is enough.

The days ahead are too long and no one can see that far ahead. The most important thing is to live each day well.

As soon as Li Ruyi came back, the marriage procedures were completed quickly.

It seemed like in the blink of an eye, it was the day for Acai to get married.

The weather is not hot yet and Li Shiwu's yard has not been built yet. After A Cai gets married, she will live next door for a while.

Li Ruzhi had seen too many cases of poor relationships between parents-in-law and daughters-in-law, so before Acai got married, she also gave her some advice.

Li Shiwu has to take the lead in everything. They are his parents, and he asked for the marriage himself, so he must take the responsibilities.

Another thing is that the grandmother of the Li family is sensible. If you encounter a problem that is difficult to solve, you can ask her for help...

For Acai, Li Ruyi not only feels sympathy for her life experience and pity for her after getting to know her, but also has a sense of responsibility because she can relate to her own fate.

She hopes that Acai can take a different path, not necessarily relying on Li Shiwu, but just facing those difficulties upstream and bravely choosing the life she wants.

On the eve of the wedding, A Cai asked Grandma Ding to sleep with her. This was the local custom; a daughter had to sleep next to her parents the day before her wedding.

Acai no longer has parents.

She has repaid her parents' kindness in giving birth to her with her money and her life.

Now the remaining broken body belongs to her completely.

Ah Cai hasn't realized this yet.

She leaned against Grandma Ding and felt the long-lost sense of security.

She took care of Grandma Ding for three years, and Grandma Ding also taught her some life-saving techniques.

It seems fair, but the energy and emotion invested by both parties cannot be felt by outsiders.

Acai can't find a sense of belonging in this family, but she loves everyone here.

Granny Ding has never been good at dealing with such sentimentality. Her breathing was long and deep, and she seemed to have fallen asleep.

As for the girl who had taken care of her for three years and suddenly had to leave home, whether her heart was as calm as she looked, probably only she herself knew.

Early in the morning, A Cai got up early.

Everyone practices martial arts on weekdays, but today she got up especially early.

She went to the kitchen to cook, and Li Jixiang tried to stop her with sleepy eyes.

"You are going to be a bride today, so get ready early. It is unlucky to use a knife or a shovel so early in the morning."

After hearing this, A Cai shook her head.

She wanted to cook a meal because she didn't know how to do anything else and couldn't keep anything.

"How can there be so many explanations..."

The last time she got married, she paid attention to everything she should have paid attention to and avoided everything she should have avoided, but what was the result?

Seeing that she was unmoved, Li Jixiang squatted beside her holding an oil lamp.

"Sister Acai, if you can't bear to let go, then don't get married!"

After hearing what Li Jixiang said, A Cai suddenly thought of Li Shiwu's attentiveness in recent days.

She couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"That won't work! I already agreed!"

Li Jixiang squatted on one side, a small ball.

"What if he is like those people in the village, and the novelty wears off after a while? How sad it would be..."

A Cai's hand paused as she was adding firewood, and then she firmly stuffed another handful of firewood into the stove.

"will not!"

Li Jixiang turned to look at her, and saw that Ah Cai looked red and misty in the light of the fire.

Li Jixiang finally did not dare to say those words of rebuttal. On such a happy day, he should also say something good.

"It won't get any better! I'm just worried..."

When A Cai heard what Li Jixiang said, she turned around and looked at her.

"You are not as carefree as you wish."

Li Jixiang didn't care about being compared to others. She just propped her face up with her hands, looking lonely and silent.

Seeing her like this, A Cai suddenly remembered what Li Ruyi had said to her.

She found it funny again.

These two sisters have their own thoughts and ideas, which is quite interesting.

“Ruyi told me that no matter what I’ve been through, I have the freedom to enjoy my life.”

"I didn't understand it before, but after seeing you today, I finally understood what this sentence meant."

Li Jixiang was attracted by Acai's words and put down his arms and became more interested.

"How to say?"

A Cai smiled again, moved a little closer to Li Jixiang, and spoke in a low voice.

"In fact, ever since Fifteen, when he carried me down the mountain, I have been thinking how nice it would be to marry a man like this."

These words shocked Li Jixiang so much that his eyes widened.

In today's world, it is not an exaggeration to say that Ah Cai's behavior is extremely rebellious.

"If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have married!"

It is difficult for Acai to explain those complicated things. She only knows that all the paths in her life have been pushed by others.

Only Li Shiwu was her own choice.

Perhaps this gamble may result in losing everything.

Perhaps Li Shiwu was not as strong as he imagined, and would not be able to withstand the pressure for long before changing his mind.

But all this is not so important to Acai.

Food, clothing, shelter, transportation, eating, drinking, defecating and urinating are just to keep her body alive.

But she didn't truly live as a human being until she took that step on her own initiative.

It’s not just because the object is Li Shiwu, but because she chose her own life for the first time.

"I can't say as many profound words as Ruyi, but in this world there are vows made to each other that will last forever, and there are also those who turn against each other and never go back to the way they were before."

"I only know that I don't regret marrying him, even if he regrets it in the end, I won't regret it."

For the first time, Acai felt that she was a worthy person.

Not because of appearance, birth, past...

Just because of herself.

Even if it ended abruptly, her life became brilliant because she had it.

At this moment, many words that Li Ruyi had said to her suddenly flashed through Acai's mind.

Those muddled emotions suddenly became clear.

Li Jixiang's worries still did not dissipate.

But both of them understood that her worry about Acai was just additional, she was more worried about herself.

When we are teenagers, no matter how young and healthy we are, we are always worried about the unknown future.

It's just that she hasn't grown up yet to be able to face the wind and rain independently.

Acai has been through too much.

She understands a little more than the ordinary women in the village.

If you rely on mountains, they will fall; if you rely on rivers, they will dry up; in the end, you still have to rely on yourself.

Even if Li Shiwu broke up with her, she still had herself.

To some extent, Li Ruyi did become her confidence, not because Li Ruyi would cover for her, but because A Cai found a way to make a living here.

Being able to support yourself is the most important foundation.

Acai couldn't explain this clearly.

Of course, even if I explained it clearly, Li Jixiang wouldn’t understand it now.

She is much happier than Acai. After all, her backing is so solid and has never been built on false ground.

Li Jixiang breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Acai.

Marry the person you want to marry, no matter what happens in the future, you will be happy at this moment.

She probably felt a little bit of Acai's happiness.

"That's good. If Brother Fifteen doesn't treat you well, you can come back and we can live together like before."

A Cai smiled and agreed to her.

"it is good!"

In the room, the third brother turned over and covered his head with the quilt.

It was so annoying. She didn't mean to eavesdrop, but these words just got into her ears!

When daybreak comes, practice as usual.

After breakfast, many women from the village arrived one after another.

Everyone loves to come to Li Ruyi to help with work. Nowadays, every household has little food, and being able to go to other people's homes to eat and drink is really a wonderful thing.

Li Ruyi has had a lot more money recently, so he can afford to invite a big group of guests.

This time when she came back, in addition to Acai's matter, she also wanted to arrange the opening of a shop. She also wanted to gather all the people with good skills in the village together.

At that time, I will make some small gadgets here, and make the medicinal materials collected from Li Shiwu into powder according to the secret recipe...

This is also the foundation of her survival.

But these things will have to wait until Acai gets married.

The most important thing right now is to get married.

Ah Cai changed her clothes and went through the formalities with everyone.

The wedding process was very complicated. Even though the man she was marrying lived next door, the two of them had to be like puppets, manipulated by all kinds of people into the way the rules required.

The red veil was finally covered on Acai's head.

The veil was also made of red cloth bought by Li Shiwu and sewed by Acai herself. It had green tassels hanging down, and the red in Acai's eyes blended with the white when she was almost frozen to death.

Before, she was always afraid.

But at this moment, she was suddenly not afraid anymore.

She sat on the red quilt on the kang. This quilt was the dowry prepared by Li Ruyi and would also be sent to the next door.

This wedding attracted a lot of attention, and no one noticed that Han Shian, who had been away for a long time, brought Han Shiyu back to the village at some point.

When Acai got married, she always had to be carried on her back by her brothers. However, her father and brother were not around, and Li Ershi, with whom she had a good relationship, was Li Shiwu's younger brother, so there were very few people who could carry her on their backs into the bridal sedan.

Li Shiwu originally wanted to help Acai find a relative in the clan.

However, there is a strict separation between men and women, and since there is no blood relationship between them, it is not in accordance with etiquette for a strange man to marry Acai.

However, Li Ruyi found a way to call Han Shian back.

Han Shian is more familiar with Acai, and as Grandma Ding's apprentice, he and Acai also have a relationship of senior and junior brothers and sisters.

Although A Cai did not take Granny Ding as her master, she did learn martial arts from her. This way, it was legitimate.

Han Shian has been very busy recently.

The affairs in the county have not yet come to an end, and his county examination is imminent.

Even if he is confident about the exam, he still has to take care of the preparations before the exam personally.

The status of a scholar is still very important to Han Shian at this moment.

However, Acai's marriage is also very important.

Han Shian still took a day off to come and take a look.

It was still early when he came back, and Li Ruyi was very busy. When she saw him come back, she just looked at him twice in the crowd.

The tacit understanding between them was there. They just smiled at each other and went about their own business.

When Han Shian comes back, in addition to Acai's wedding, he also wants to meet the Han clan leader and the village head.

He was going to take part in the county examination, so he had to say hello to these two people.

Han Shian went to the headman's house first, left the gifts he had prepared, said a few words and then left.

When he goes to Patriarch Han's house, he will be much more serious.

Not only did he bring gifts, he also brought Han Shiyu.

With a young man from the Han family present, no matter how much Patriarch Han looked down on Han Shian, he had to restrain himself.

Seeing the two people coming, Patriarch Han had a sullen face.

"How did you come?"

Han Shian smiled gently.

"Patriarch, I have been busy with schoolwork recently and was unable to come to see you during the New Year. I only have time to come today. I hope you can forgive me."

Chief Han sneered.

"Our Han family doesn't have the face of the Li family. Just for a girl raised at home to get married, it's worth the future number one scholar to go there in person. But we can't even wait for you to come for our annual ancestor worship!"

Han Shian is very thick-skinned and doesn't care about the attitude of Patriarch Han at all.

"I was not thoughtful enough. Thank you for your advice, Chief."

"However, Miss Acai was rescued by my senior sister after all, and I am only doing this out of consideration for Master. After all, once a teacher, always a father."

Patriarch Han took a deep breath and felt that Han Shian was pointing at him.

The relationship between master and disciple is very important, but he, a clan leader, is nothing!

It’s not that Patriarch Han thought too much, Han Shian was indeed pointing at him.

Patriarch Han looked at Han Shiyu standing next to Han Shian, feeling very angry, but there were some things he couldn't say.

He and Han Shian already knew each other's background. If it were just Han Shian alone, he would probably have a lot of unpleasant things to say.

But now Han Shiyu is here too, and he is also a member of the Han family.

Although Chief Han didn't care about Han Shiyu, he was more cautious than usual when outsiders were around.

Han Shian knew him very well, otherwise he would not have brought Han Shiyu here.

After both parties sat opposite each other, there was silence for a moment before Han Shian spoke.

"Clan leader, I am here because the county exam is imminent. It is only right that I come to inform you of such a major event."

Patriarch Han was not in a good mood. Seeing Han Shian becoming better and better and more successful, he always felt angry in his heart.

But if it comes to holding Han Shian back, he can't do it now.

Not to mention that Han Shian refused to eat or drink after entering the door, just look at the boy he used to be, now he has become a young man, and then look at the strong body under his robe.

Time makes Chief Han grow older, and also makes Han Shian grow stronger.

No matter how upset Patriarch Han felt, he had to admit that Han Shian was no longer under his control.

If the two sides maintain their current lukewarm relationship, Han Shian will not dare to abandon the Han family for the sake of his reputation.

And Chief Han can also benefit from Han Shian's progress.

At his age, he has been the patriarch for many years.

Sometimes, emotions always take a backseat to reason.

"The clan can't help you much, but it won't hold you back either. Just do your best in the exam, and don't give the place to study in the capital to anyone else..."

After saying this, he thought of Li Ruyi again and sighed.

"Li Ruyi's side..."

He started to talk, but when he thought of Li Ruyi's current appearance, he swallowed back those words that were filled with malice and a desire to watch the fun.

"You are a child with your own ideas, so take care of yourself!"
