Countdown to Awakening

The next second, Liao Zhaoer came in from outside, smiling. She was holding a white towel in her hand. Seeing this, the young couple finally understood. They both smiled at the same time.

Ding Xiaoxiao took the white towel and spread it on the big red bed - this was also a custom to test the new bride's chastity.

Zhong Shanshan looked a little embarrassed. She knew that after spreading the white towel, she would have to do that kind of thing. Thinking of this, she suddenly smiled again.

"I forgot something so important. Look at my brain." Ding Xiaoxiao said self-deprecatingly.

No one thought it was inappropriate, after all, it was a tradition passed down from ancient times. Zhong Shanshan didn't say anything either. She had heard from her mother that the village custom was to lay a white towel in the bridal chamber on the wedding night, as it served a very important purpose.

After laying out the towels, Ding Xiaoxiao looked at the two of them with a smile. "You two take care of yourself... hurry up..."

After saying that, Ding Xiaoxiao went out.

Zhong Shanshan also smiled shyly. How could she not know what the towel was for? Liao Bin also unbuttoned his clothes and sat next to Zhong Shanshan. He didn't know what to say either. He just sat there.

The two were silent.

Zhong Shanshan felt that this was not a big deal and she had to say something. "Liao Bin, let's chat. I'm not sleepy yet and don't want to go to bed so soon..."

"Hmm..." Liao Bin nodded, but his nervousness was hard to conceal. His hands rested uneasily on his legs, clutching his pants. His face was still red.

Zhong Shanshan didn't know what to say after she finished that sentence. She was very nervous. She wanted to ask Liao Bin why he didn't speak...but then she remembered that he had said he couldn't speak.

But sitting like this all the time is not a solution...

So Zhong Shanshan asked, "Do you have any plans for the future? For example, how many children do you want?"

Liao Bin was a little at a loss as the conversation suddenly turned to such a far-reaching topic.

"I...I haven't thought about it. Anyway, my mother said she wanted to have a son." Liao Bin said.

Zhong Shanshan glanced at him, indicating that she understood. Everyone in the village was like that. They wouldn't stop until they had a son. After all, a son was the one who would provide for their parents in their old age.

"What our mother said is right."

Outside the door stood Ding Xiaoxiao and her three daughters, their ears pressed against the door.

"Why is there no movement? What's wrong with this kid? He didn't do anything on the wedding night? What does it mean?" Ding Xiaoxiao was confused.

"Mom, you know Xiaobin is a shy person. It's normal for him to be quiet." Liao Shengnan said.

Ding Xiaoxiao continued, "That won't do. How can there be no movement? Then I won't be able to hold my grandson. No way..." Liao Zhaoer smiled and said, "Why not? Can you still go in and tell them? No way?"

Liao Ting also smiled. How could this be possible? If I went in, wouldn't that disturb the couple?

The two people in the room—

"How did you fall in love with me? Why did you decide to marry me?" Zhong Shanshan asked because she had no other topic to talk about.

Liao Bin was a little at a loss. She...why did she ask such a question?

This question made him a little unsure how to answer.

"Isn't this fate? My mom also said you're a good match... so isn't that why I'm marrying you..." After saying this, Liao Bin scratched his head again, looking very embarrassed.

Seeing him like this, Zhong Shanshan couldn't help but think of what Xiao Guilan said about Liao Bin being honest. It seemed to be true. He didn't even dare to speak, so what was that? Honesty...

She suddenly felt that she had found the right person. Thinking of Liu Yingdi's story in the village, she suddenly felt that she was actually quite happy... At least her husband would not hit her, and her mother-in-law would not make things difficult for her.

Just when she felt happy and sweet, the door of the room suddenly opened...

Ding Xiaoxiao, her mother, daughter and her two children stood awkwardly at the door...looking a little embarrassed.

"Uh... Shanshan, we, we didn't mean it, haha..." Ding Xiaoxiao smiled awkwardly after she finished speaking.

Liao Shengnan and her two sisters also smiled awkwardly.

Zhong Shanshan was surprised at first, but then she thought it was actually quite normal. A wedding night prank...at least it was with family. And since they hadn't done anything yet, if they hadn't seen anything, then it was fine.

"Mom, it's okay. We don't mind." Zhong Shanshan said.

Ding Xiaoxiao smiled again. "Okay, okay, you two continue, continue, we won't disturb you anymore."

Then he closed the door again.

Zhong Shanshan and Liao Bin both felt a little embarrassed, and the already awkward atmosphere suddenly became even more awkward.

Liao Bin stood up and locked the door. Then he returned to sit next to Zhong Shanshan.

Liao Bin hesitated for a moment, then reached out and held Zhong Shanshan's hand...

Zhong Shanshan was a little surprised and glanced at him. "You..." "We are husband and wife, it's okay to hold hands..." Liao Bin asked.

Zhong Shanshan shook her head.

Liao Bin was also embarrassed. Anyway, that thing had to happen tonight, otherwise what was the point of them coming in just now? Wasn't it just to see if the two of them had...

It was also a disguised reminder for them to do that thing. After all, they were husband and wife now, so doing that thing was normal...

"Are you sleepy?" Liao Bin asked.

Zhong Shanshan also understood what he meant and replied, "A little bit..."

Liao Bin smiled and said, "Well, let's go to bed..."

The person outside the door was still listening to the noise inside.

Liao Guoqing sat on a chair, watching the four mothers and daughters behave, and couldn't help but say, "Don't listen. They're acting the same way whether there's any noise or not. They obviously know what they're going to do. Come back and don't listen."

Ding Xiaoxiao replied, "That won't work. How can I hold my grandson if there's no movement? I can only have a grandson if there's movement... Why don't you care at all? Don't you want to hold your grandson?"

Liao Guoqing smiled. "This has to happen naturally. How can it just happen? Even if they make some noise tonight, it'll take some time to find out if she's pregnant or not... What's the point of listening to this?"

"Tsk... If you can't speak, don't speak. Just shut up."

Ding Xiaoxiao didn't care about that. No movement meant she wouldn't have a grandson. What was the point of marrying him in if she couldn't have a grandson?

After a while, Ding Xiaoxiao said cheerfully, "Oh, there's movement! That's good. I can hold my grandson in my arms."

Liao Guoqing was speechless.

"Mom, stop listening. It's time to go to bed." Liao Shengnan said.

Ding Xiaoxiao then went over with a satisfied look on her face after hearing this.

-

the next day.

Zhong Shanshan woke up. She looked at Liao Bin beside her. Thinking of the passionate lovemaking last night, she felt a little embarrassed.

Then he got up and put on his clothes.

Liao Bin also woke up at this time. He looked at the clock on the table and saw it was only a little after six o'clock, so he asked, "Why are you up so early? Go back to sleep."

Zhong Shanshan replied: "No, I'm a newly married daughter-in-law, and according to the rules I have to get up and cook."

Liao Bin also got up. He couldn't sleep anyway. Might as well get up and move around.

I lifted the quilt and took a look at the white towel, and was suddenly stunned.

Then he put on his clothes and asked, "Why is this towel clean?"

Zhong Shanshan was also stunned. Impossible! How could this be possible? How could it be clean?

"I don't know." How could she know? She only knew that she had never slept with any man before she got married. So that couldn't be the case!

Liao Bin didn’t know what to do, so he simply opened the door and called Ding Xiaoxiao in.

Ding Xiaoxiao was originally waiting in the living room for Zhong Shanshan to get up and cook. Who would have thought that her son would call her in...

"Mom, look. This towel is clean!" Liao Bin said, pointing at the towel.

Ding Xiaoxiao also looked incredulous. Her daughter-in-law was not clean?!

"Shanshan? What do you mean? This..." Ding Xiaoxiao was speechless.
