Countdown to Awakening

Luo Xinxin slowly unzipped her dress, revealing her fair shoulders. Although she felt a little embarrassed, this was what she was supposed to do on her wedding night. It had been a tradition since ancient times.

Zhou Jianguo also unbuttoned his suit, then put his arm around Luo Xinxin and lay down.

Zhou Changjin and Wang Xiaohong were sitting on chairs downstairs, both of them were very happy.

My son finally got married. Everything will be easy as long as he gets pregnant.

——Luo family

Luo's mother was overjoyed. She had never expected to receive such a large amount of betrothal gifts for marrying off her daughter. The initial deposit was a huge sum of money for them.

After counting the money, Luo's mother looked at Luo Dandan who was standing beside her.

One daughter can get so much money in marriage, I can't imagine how much dowry I can get if both daughters are married...

"Dandan, I'm telling you, you should get married in two years. You can help share some of the pressure at home. Your brother is still young and needs to go to school. As his sister, you can't just watch him go without a school, right? Your parents have raised you up. If one day you can marry a good man like your sister, you'll have someone to rely on in the future, and your father and I won't have to worry about you."

Rodandan's smile disappeared immediately.

"Mom, this is something that happened in two years. It's not good to bring it up so soon. Haven't you found a good person yet?"

She naturally wanted to marry a good man, but after thinking about it, she realized that even if she got married, she would just find a man in the village.

"Mom...why don't you let me go to the city to work? I can earn money to support my brother's education. I don't have to get married."

As soon as Luo Dandan finished speaking, her mother chimed in: "What kind of girl would show her face outside? Working is something men do. We women should stay at home to take care of our husbands and children, and do the housework and our own duties. Besides, if you marry into someone else's family, you will enjoy life, while working outside will only bring you suffering. As a little girl, you might as well marry a reliable man."

Luo Dandan disagreed with this statement: "Mom, not everyone is as lucky as my sister to marry a man who treats them well... and..."

Before she could finish her words, Luo's mother interrupted, "Oh... stop saying these unrealistic things. You'll encounter them too. What would everyone in the village think if they knew a little girl from our family was working away from home? Besides, every girl wants to get married in the future. You're not old enough to understand, otherwise you wouldn't say such things. Just wait patiently. When you get married, you'll be filial to me and your father. Don't always think about going out and showing off."

Luo Dandan felt a little disappointed. In just two years she would be getting married?

For such gifts...

To support her brother's education...

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Wasn't the only unmarried man in the village the idiot from the Jin family? Who else was there? She couldn't remember. There weren't many men of marriageable age in the neighboring village either.

"Mom, let's talk about it two years from now... I'm not there yet. I can still help you with the work for another two years."

Luo's mother said nothing, collected the gifts and walked away. But in Luo Dandan's eyes, silence was the answer.

Until midnight——

Zhou Jianguo and Luo Xinxin had been making love for a long time. They were both breathless. Although it was autumn, it was only September. Zhou Jianguo's forehead was covered in sweat from all this.
