Chapter 16 The Beautiful Uncle Gets Married
The days that followed became increasingly harmonious. Xia Rongliu would often take Juejue to the fence to tend to the flowers and grass, often getting herself and Juejue all dirty. Lin Yue would sometimes come over and help them clean up.
Old Mrs. Xia, on the other hand, felt very uncomfortable. At first, she would scold Xia Rongliu as soon as she saw her, but later she simply said she would come over and help with it. Although she said she would help with it, Xia Rongliu's face was covered in mud by the end of the afternoon, while Old Mrs. Xia was only concerned with petting the cat.
When Xia Rongliu was tired, she would often look back and see her mother playing with the cat happily, while Juejue rolled her eyes and wanted to sleep.
Xia Rongliu looked up at the sky and sighed. Those who had initially opposed her were now extremely fond of her.
That day, Xia Rongliu was still with her cat by the fence, feeling incredibly proud as she watched the little flower buds gradually take shape. She hadn't used ordinary methods to cultivate them; she'd added many special things.
"Yinyin—Yinyin—" Lin Yue was truly happy at this moment, and she even dragged out Xia Rongliu's name.
"Mommy~" Xia Rongliu turned around and hugged Lin Yue, leaving two muddy handprints on Lin Yue's apron. Lin Yue playfully pinched Xia Rongliu's nose. "You little rascal, your uncle is getting married."
Xia Rongliu was caught off guard by this news: "My handsome uncle is getting married?"
Lin Yue laughed and tapped Xia Rongliu's little head. "What beautiful uncle? What's in your head? We're going to stay there for a while, and we'll bring Xiao Lü back with us then."
Xia Rongliu nodded and then shook her head. "Then what about my Juejue and Hua?"
“Take Juejue with you. Your dad and grandma can watch over Hua. She won’t die. I’ll go pack some clean clothes first. You can go take a shower too.”
Dad's busy, and Grandma's too busy petting the cat to keep an eye on things. Xia Rongliu thought to herself, "Oh well, I shouldn't die from being exposed to wind and rain for a few days. I should be strong."
"Come on, let's go take a bath."
Xia Rongliu and Lin Yue arrived at the Lin family home after a day's journey. Lin Yue's father, mother, and brother all came out to greet them.
"Yueyue."
"Mother, Father, Brother..." Lin Yue called out to them one by one. After not seeing them for so long, her thoughts were overflowing with emotion.
"Is this my granddaughter? She's grown up so much. Come to her grandma's." Madam Lin looked at the little dumpling next to Lin Yue and called out affectionately, "She's even holding a kitten. So cute."
"Hehe, hello Grandma, hello Grandpa, hello... hello Uncle Mei." Xia Rongliu called out sweetly, and when she called Lin Yi, she almost blurted out "Handsome Uncle".
Those shouts really got to me; my lips never left my mouth.
Lin Yue and Xia Rongliu still live in the same house that Lin Yue used to live in. Lin Yue was filled with emotion. In the blink of an eye, she had become a married woman and had a lovely daughter. Time really flies.
After settling into her accommodation, Lin Yue finally had time to catch up with Lin Yi.
"You're getting married in a few days, are you nervous, brother?"
"A little, but mostly I'm happy." Lin Yi nodded. His bride was still at her parents' house, waiting for him to pick her up in a few days. "I think Yin Yin has grown up quite a bit."
Lin Yue smiled and shook her head. "He's still a little baby. He likes to play with flowers and plants now, and he spends all day huddled by the fence in the yard, looking like a mud doll."
"Hahahaha, kids are kids, the most important thing is to be happy." Lin Yi laughed loudly.
Today is the day Lin Yi is getting married. Xia Rongliu and Lin Yue are helping out, greeting the guests. The sound of firecrackers is continuous. Xia Rongliu is holding Juejue and covering its ears as she stands next to Lin Yue.
"A worship of heaven and earth..."
"Second worship high hall..."
"Three...the couple bow to each other...and are led into the bridal chamber..."
The guests' laughter filled the air, and every now and then one could hear wishes like "May you have a son soon." Xia Rongliu was happily munching on the dates on the table, hoping her handsome uncle would quickly give her a little cousin or something.
"Yinyin, what are you thinking about?" Lin Yue's gentle voice came through. She watched Xia Rongliu eating happily and wiped her mouth. Xia Rongliu replied without thinking, "I'm thinking about when my handsome uncle will have a little cousin."
Lin Yue couldn't help but laugh. "Only women can give birth."
"I know." I'm not really an eight-year-old child, Mom, you've misunderstood.
When it was time for bed, Lin Yue said to Xia Rongliu, "Tomorrow you will come with me to Furong Mountain. We will go to the temple on the mountain to pray for your grandparents, uncles and aunts, and ask for their safety."
Xia Rongliu nodded to indicate that she understood. She vaguely felt that the place name was somewhat familiar, but she didn't think about it and went to sleep with her arms wrapped around her pillow.
The next morning, Xia Rongliu was dragged out of bed by her own mother. "Yinyin, get up! We need to go early and come back early. Get up quickly, don't be a lazybones."
"Mom~" Xia Rongliu groaned, but still slowly got up and dressed. Seeing Juejue still sleeping next to her, she patted Juejue's bottom and said, "Juejue, did you hear me? No sleeping in."
Juejue jumped up in surprise. Who disturbed its sleep?!
Xia Rongliu watched Juejue's reaction with satisfaction. Ever since she picked Juejue up, she had discovered that this cat was really lazy. It could sleep anywhere, as if sleeping was its greatest pleasure. Sometimes it would look at you with a kind of disdain. If you tried to tease it, it would be too lazy to pay attention to you. For details, you can refer to Xia Rongliu's mother and Juejue.
What a Zen-like cat! Xia Rongliu remarked.
After tidying up, Xia Rongliu hugged the cat, and Lin Yue pulled her along the road, leading her all the way to Baizhen Temple.
"Please come in, benefactor..." A young-looking monk stepped forward to lead the way for Lin Yue and the others. "What brings you here, benefactor?"
"I've come here to pray for peace. My father, mother, brother, and sister-in-law all live in this area, and I thought it would be best to pray for their safety here," Lin Yue replied sincerely.
"Your sincerity will surely bring you good fortune." This time, it wasn't the young monk from before, but an older monk standing guard in front of the Buddha statue.
"Thank you."
Xia Rongliu and Lin Yue prayed to Buddha together. Afterwards, Lin Yue took a red ribbon from the monk, wrote her thoughts and wishes on it, and hung it on a towering tree in the temple.
The tree is very large, with lush branches and leaves, adorned with many colorful ribbons that flutter wildly in the autumn wind.
Suddenly, the familiar feeling in Xia Rongliu's heart surged again, even stronger than before. She felt as if she had been here before, as if she had seen this tree before. It seemed that... there weren't so many ribbons back then. She always saw a man's back standing under the tree, sighing. Xia Rongliu shook her head. Perhaps it was a less important memory from her previous life, or perhaps she had been here as a child in her previous life.
"Yinyin, we're having vegetarian food here again for lunch today." Lin Yue's voice pulled Xia Rongliu back to reality. She was stunned for a moment, "We're having vegetarian food here again?"
"Yes, Mother still has some things to write. If you feel bored, wander around, but don't go out." After saying that, she gave the little monk another instruction.
Xia Rongliu nodded and sat down under the tree, holding the cat.
