Chapter 106 Pick Up the Bride
"Then I won't be polite," Lin Youxiang said as he put all the things he bought on the ox cart.
"Why are you being so polite to me, Aunt Lin? Come on up, we're going back by car today too." Sui He jumped on the car and asked Aunt Lin to sit on the oxcart. There was a lot of space on the car, and after putting down the luggage, there were still many empty seats, which could definitely accommodate the four of them.
"Okay, then I'll trouble Sui He." Aunt Lin heard Sui He say and climbed up as well.
"Uncle Chen, driving the cart is so tiring. Let me do it. Let me do it." Lin Youwang grabbed the whip and looked at his grandfather expectantly.
"Okay, you come, I'm just taking a break." Seeing Lin Wangxiang like this, his grandfather knew what he was up to, so he simply gave the driving job to Lin Wangxiang.
"Okay, you guys just take a good rest in the car, and leave the rest to me." Lin Youxiang waved the whip contentedly to drive the cow forward.
There were so many things on the car, but it didn't stop the scalper at all. He just walked forward step by step as if it had no weight.
Lin Youxiang was very excited today and kept waving the whip. The ox cart was indeed much faster than them. In less than a moment, they arrived at the entrance of the village.
Lin Youxuan dared to drive the ox cart into the village. When the children in the village saw the ox cart, they all ran towards it. Lin Youxuan was afraid that he would step on the children, so he jumped off the cart and walked away pulling the ox.
"Wow, what a big cow!"
"Can I go up and sit down?"
The children were chattering around the oxcart, their eyes full of curiosity. Lin Youxiang smiled and said loudly: "Don't push, or I'll bump into you."
Lin Youxiang led the cow towards home, and the children followed behind him happily.
After Lin Youxiang put down his things, he handed the whip in his hand to his grandfather and said, "Thank you, Uncle Chen. Otherwise, we don't know when we can come back."
"You're welcome!" Grandpa drove the ox cart towards home. Grandma, who was still in the yard, heard the noise outside and knew that her family had returned, so she came out of the house immediately.
"Wow, where did such a big cow come from?" Grandma exclaimed when she saw Sui He sitting on the ox cart.
"Grandma Chen, your family bought a cow!" The children following the ox cart chattered.
"Why did you suddenly buy a cow? It must cost a lot of money, right?" Grandma looked distressed. She looked around the ox cart and looked up and down.
"It didn't cost much. Besides, buying a cow will make it more convenient for us to travel. When spring comes, the cow can also go to the fields to work. We can't let grandpa dig with his bare hands. That would be too tiring," Sui He hurriedly comforted him and gave his grandfather a look.
Receiving Sui He's gaze, his grandfather also advised, "Yeah, don't worry about it. It's time to buy the cow. We can't always rely on other people's cars to deliver tofu to the town in the future."
"You guys are not thinking of buying a bullock cart today because I walked back yesterday, are you?" Grandma seemed to have thought of something and stared at Grandpa.
Grandpa felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by grandma, so he didn't reply and went to move things onto the bullock cart.
Sui He did not dare to speak, and quickly jumped out of the car to help move the things.
"Okay, just buy it, what else can I say to you?" Seeing the two people's evasive eyes, grandma didn't understand anything. She laughed twice and went to help move things.
"Ahem" Sui He and Grandpa smiled at each other
The children watching were also very brave, they circled around the cow with laughter, and Shitou pulled a handful of hay and put it in front of the cow.
The ox stuck out its tongue, rolled up the grass and began to chew it. The stone then climbed onto the ox's back.
The ox did not move, but flicked its tail twice and climbed up her back from the stone.
"Brother Shitou, let me sit down."
"Brother Shitou, I want to ride on it, too." A group of children saw Shitou on the cow's back and they were so excited that they wanted to get on too.
"Be careful, don't fall. Shitou, come down quickly." When the grandmother saw Shitou on the cow's back, she quickly called Shitou to come down. The cow looked docile and honest, but it was an animal after all. What if it got angry and hurt the child?
"Okay, I'll get down right away." I heard my grandmother shouting, and the stone slid down from the cow's back.
Days passed by, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day when Lin Wangxiang got married.
Early in the morning, Lin Youxiang came to Chen's house to borrow a bullock cart.
In this era, most farmers borrowed a cart to pull their wives back home, and those who didn't have a cart would walk and carry them back.
If a family had an ox cart to pick up the bride, it would be a very proud thing.
Lin Youxiang came to Chen's house wearing new clothes and smiling. "Uncle Chen, I want to borrow the ox cart."
"We have prepared it for you a long time ago, take it quickly." Sui He and his grandparents cleaned the ox cart inside and out yesterday and waited for Lin Youxiang to come.
Lin Youxiang held a piece of red silk tied to the horns of the cow, and the cart was covered with clean red cloth.
Lin Youxiang and the people who came to pick up the bride sat on an ox cart, which also carried gifts for the bride's family. They headed towards the bride's house in a grand manner, attracting the attention of many villagers along the way.
Lin Youwang's father-in-law lived in the neighboring Zhoujiazhuang. At this time, Zhou Guoer was still dressing up in her boudoir.
"Here he comes," Zhou Guoer's sister-in-law opened the door and said to the bride with a smile, "The groom is here, and he's coming here in a bullock cart. I didn't expect that the Lin family actually has a bullock cart. Our Guoer will be blessed to marry into their family."
"I heard from the matchmaker that they are new residents. I haven't heard that they have a bullock cart. They must have borrowed it," Zhou Guoer's mother replied.
"It doesn't matter whether it's his own or borrowed. Using a bullock cart to pick up the bride is also giving us enough face. Hurry up, we can't let the son-in-law wait for too long." The aunt urged, looking up at the group of young men gathered at the door, thought for a while and said, "I'll go see the guys at the door, just let them show their respect, don't delay the auspicious time of the wedding ceremony."
"Guoguo, eat this meal." Zhou Guoer's mother brought a bowl of white rice, picked up a piece with chopsticks and passed it to Zhou Guoer's mouth, her voice choked with sobs: "When you go over there, you must work harder, take good care of your husband, and serve your parents-in-law well."
Zhou Guoer looked at the rice in front of her and felt her throat blocked. She swallowed the rice mixed with her tears.
At this time, there was a knock on the door: "Mom, little sister, are you ready?"
"Okay, okay," Zhou Guoer's mother responded, picked up the veil beside her and put it on Zhou Guoer's head.
Hearing the sound, the eldest brother of the Zhou family opened the door and walked in. He squatted in front of Zhou Guoer with his back to her and said, "Little sister, I'll carry you out."
"Okay," Zhou Guoer responded, and stood up and lay on her eldest brother's back.
Seeing his sister lying down, the eldest brother of the Zhou family stood up and carried Zhou Guoer out of the door.
"Little sister, remember, if he dares to bully you, you must come back to me and I will help you vent your anger." As he stepped out of the room, the eldest brother of the Zhou family warned his sister.
“Yeah, I remember that.”
"The bride is coming out!" Lin Youxiang stood beside the ox cart and stared at his young wife without blinking, while his friends cheered.
The eldest brother of the Zhou family put Zhou Guoer on the ox cart and turned to look at Lin Youxiang: "My sister has taught you. If you dare to bully him, don't blame us brothers for being rude."
Zhou Guoer had three brothers. At this moment, they all gathered in front of Lin Youwang, staring at him fiercely.
