Quick Wear: True and False Life

Time flies, the sun and the moon fly by.

After the harvest, it was Lu Nan's 18th birthday. She ate longevity noodles at her grandparents' house, which meant she was another year older.

"Nannan, you and Haozi have been engaged for two years, right?" Grandma suddenly asked after dinner.

"Yes," Lu Nan said while wiping the table.

"What's your plan?"

"Grandma, why are you asking about this?"

"Haozi is already in his twenties, and your Aunt Cui is worried." Grandma glanced at her and said.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"Your Aunt Cui is a junior to you, how can she speak directly?"

"That's true." Lu Nan also realized at this time that with her grandparents around, she didn't need to worry about anything.

"Then I'll have to trouble grandma for this matter."

"Okay! I'll go to Matchmaker Lu tomorrow."

“It’s great to have grandparents!”

"Your little mouth is quite sweet. I'm telling you that grandma is willing."

In the following days, grandma invited Lu Mouren, and with Mouren's help, the two families began to exchange gifts, and finally the wedding date was set on the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

It was only about twenty days, and Haozi knew that he could live with Lu Nan after getting married. He was so happy that he was so excited that he couldn't sleep well all night and felt listless the next day.

Speaking of this, the happiest people are Lu Changhe and his wife. They are so worried about Haozi, afraid that he is not living a good life. They were worried before he met Lu Nan; they were also worried after they met each other; they were looking forward to getting engaged, and then looking forward to getting married. Now they are finally much more at ease.

It was the fifteenth day of the winter month and the weather was quite cold. Lu Nan rode his bicycle to pick up Haozi at eight o'clock. He bought this bicycle when he decided to get married.

Arriving at Fengqiao Town, the two went directly to apply for a marriage certificate. There were not many people in the morning, so they finished it in a short while and went to the department store. Lu Nan bought him a watch, two sets of Lenin suits, a pair of leather shoes and fruit candies for the banquet. Haozi was tall, white-skinned, and had a literary look. If he wore a Lenin suit, he would look like an intellectual without speaking, but unfortunately he would be exposed as soon as he spoke.

When Lu Nan got married, Haozi became a son-in-law, so there were no standards to refer to, so they just followed the normal male marriage standards, which were thirty-six legs and four big pieces of furniture.

Everything else has been prepared, except for the watch. She asked Haozi to put it on and she thought it was pretty good.

After buying the items and putting them in a backpack, he went to a photo studio with Haozi. He wanted to take a few photos and keep them as souvenirs for the future.

"Sister, why are you here?"

"Call me Nannan from now on. It's not nice to call me sister after getting married." Lu Nan corrected.

"And you come here to take pictures. The pictures you put up there can be kept for a long time. You can put them at home and see them every day."

"Really?" Haozi asked curiously.

"Of course, let's go in!"

Lu Nan coaxed Haozi into taking five or six photos with various poses and backgrounds, then made an appointment to pick them up, paid the money, and went to eat.

She hadn't eaten at the People's Hotel for a long time and missed it very much.

"Sister, braised pork." As soon as he entered the People's Hotel, Haozi shouted for it.

"I see. There's also Nan Nan." Lu Nan corrected Haozi's way of calling it while looking at the types written on the wooden board next to it.

After reading it, Lu Nan ordered a pound of rice, three servings of braised pork, three servings of pork belly and ten meat buns. After eating, he packed up his food and went back to the village.

In the afternoon, we have to go into the mountains to catch some pheasants and rabbits for the banquet. It would be better to catch some roe deer or wild boar.

They were lucky enough to encounter roe deer as soon as they entered the mountains. They tied up the three of them and felt that they weighed about 250 to 260 kilograms, enough for a banquet, so they stuffed them in the backpack and went home.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Nan took people on bicycles to pick up Haozi.

"Mom and Dad, open the door, I'm here to pick up Haozi." When Lu Nan arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he shouted loudly amid everyone's clamor.

“Give out wedding candies, give out wedding candies…” the younger generation inside started to make a fuss, and Lu Nan quickly grabbed a handful from his pocket and threw it out.

While everyone was picking up candies, Lu Nan squeezed in. When they reached the door, Lu Changhe and Aunt Cui saw Haozi off. Aunt Cui took Haozi's hand and handed it to Lu Nan, saying sadly, "Treat Haozi well in the future and don't let him be sad."

"Mom and Dad, don't worry. I will treat him well. I worked hard to get him this." Lu Nan took Haozi's hand and assured him.

"Mom, Nannan gives me delicious food, that's the best." While Haozi was listening to them, he did not forget to complement them.

After hearing this, Aunt Cui looked at her silly son, not knowing whether to laugh or cry for a moment. The sad atmosphere was completely dispelled by him.

Lu Nan picked up Haozi and took him around the village on his bicycle before returning to Lu Nan's home.

The seats have already been set. Lu Nan and Haozi, along with the bridesmaids and groomsmen, started toasting and handing out candies to people at the first table. They were quite tired after going around the table. They were either talking to this uncle or that aunt, and their mouths were dry. Now they could finally take a break.

She had to say that it was great to have grandparents. With their help, the marriage was easier. Otherwise, there were so many procedures and it would have been impossible for her to do it alone.

When she was toasting just now, she roughly counted that there were dozens of tables. For the sake of grandpa and grandma, everyone who could come from the village came, and including the educated youth, there were quite a lot of people.

After the banquet, Lu Nan directly invited Lu Chengming and his wife and his brothers and sisters to stay and help clean up. It was past nine o'clock when they finished cleaning. She wrapped each of them a red envelope with red paper and sent them out.

As for her grandparents, she and Haozi sent them back directly and helped them light the kang before going home.

Getting married is so tiring. I went home, washed up, and pulled Haozi straight to sleep. I was so tired that I fell asleep as soon as I touched the bed.

The next morning, when Lu Nan woke up, Haozi was already awake.

"Nannan, we forgot about the bridal chamber last night." Haozi said aggrievedly. He did not forget the picture book his father gave him, and he was still naked.

"Who told you that?" Lu Nan was surprised by Haozi's words and asked.

"I read it in the book my father gave me."

"Oh! So that's it! Then we can do it tonight, no rush." Lu Nan thought about it and said it was normal, but facing Haozi's clear eyes, he couldn't bring himself to do it.

"Then I'll read the comic book again later, otherwise I'll forget it." Haozi said happily.

Lu Nan felt a little ashamed for a moment and quickly urged Haozi to get up as she had to go to work today.

Today at work, every acquaintance she met would tease her to some extent, which made her deeply understand the difference of being married.

"Isn't your Haozi here?" Bai Wenjing asked jokingly when she saw her.

"Reading comic books at home." Lu Nan rolled his eyes at her.

"Your kid is gone, and you still let Liu Ya look after him?"

"Yes, Liu Ya is doing well. She can provide meals and it won't interfere with her other tasks."

"That's fine. When the weather gets warmer, the baby will be one and a half years old. I can take him to the fields and just watch over him. It won't affect my work."

"That's right. This place is not only far from the road, but also far from the river. It's safe."

When Lu Nan returned home at noon, Haozi was feeding the chickens. She asked him what he wanted to eat for lunch so that she could make it.

"I want to eat meat."

"Okay, there's some roe deer meat left, frozen behind the house. Go get some and cook it for you."
