Chapter 231 Village Life (5)
goo goo-
The atmosphere was just right. Xia Qingyue's stomach growled. She immediately opened her eyes and her pretty face turned even redder.
She hadn't eaten anything in the morning, and several hours had passed, so she was hungry.
Han Zhibai heard it, loosened his grip slightly, rested his forehead against hers, and smiled lovingly, "Let's change into light and comfortable clothes and go out for lunch. I've been busy all morning and I'm starving."
She pursed her lips and nodded, her eyes wandering with embarrassment.
Han Zhibai got up and went to the closet to find two sets of newly made duck down clothes, one set for each person.
"I'll go change in the next room." He put her set next to her, picked up his own set, and prepared to go out.
Although the two are now married and are husband and wife, they have only been married for a short time. The girl is shy, and for example, if they were to change clothes in the same room, he was afraid that she would feel restrained and unable to relax.
No matter what, he wanted her to do it voluntarily and comfortably.
Take your time with everything and don't rush things.
"Hey, wait." She called out to him.
"I've seen you in your wedding dress, but you haven't seen me in my wedding dress. Turn around."
Han Zhibai paused, surprise flashed in his eyes, and a few seconds after she finished speaking, he slowly turned around.
When I turned around, I saw her standing beside the bed in wedding dress, looking at me with a shy smile.
The red wedding dress revealed her fair neck with graceful lines and clearly visible collarbone. It was a tight-fitting and slim-fitting style, which highlighted her graceful figure, with shoulders as if carved and waist as if slender, reflecting her peach-like face, gentle and graceful demeanor, which was incomparable.
Han Zhibai's eyes widened with shock and amazement, as if a devout Buddhist had finally glimpsed a ray of Buddha's light, without any evil blasphemy. He forgot to breathe, and his face turned red.
But soon, the emotions in his eyes calmed down, he walked quickly forward, picked up the cloak on the bed and put it on her, then took her hands and stammered:
"Qing, Qingyue, you are so...beautiful."
After hearing this, Xia Qingyue saw that he was looking like a silly boy, and was at a loss, so she laughed softly.
Her smile became even more beautiful, and everything around her was instantly eclipsed. Han Zhibai's heartbeat accelerated, and the skin above his neck suddenly turned red. He said in a panic, "I'm going to change my clothes. I'll wait for you outside the door after I'm done."
After saying that, he took the clothes and walked away quickly.
The door closed, and Xia Qingyue muttered to herself, "I haven't seen what I look like in wedding clothes yet."
She walked to the dressing table, looked at herself in the mirror, and saw her slender waist that could be held in one hand.
The mirror was positioned low, so one had to bend one's knees and squat slightly. A face as pretty as a peach in spring was reflected in it. Her hair was pinned up in a simple and beautiful way, which suited her face shape very well. Overall, she looked less immature than before and more mature.
She raised her hands to hold her cheeks in shock, and looked at herself in the mirror in fascination, "Wow, Auntie and Xiaoyu are so skillful!"
After a short delay, Xia Qingyue changed her clothes and opened the door. Han Zhibai, who was waiting outside, turned around and looked at her. When their eyes met, they couldn't help but smile at each other.
"Let's go. The three tables have been set up." He took her hand and went out.
In the front yard, three large round tables were arranged in a triangular shape. Li Weikang, Chen Youmao and Fang Xiaoyu were placing bowls and chopsticks at each table. The others used wooden trays to bring bowls of hot rice and dishes from the next table one after another, and the aroma was fragrant.
The dishes on every table are the same, including braised chicken, braised spare ribs, steamed dried fish and dried rabbit, fried duck with sour peppers, fried chicken and duck offal with kimchi, pork belly stewed with dried pickles, spicy stewed fish, pork belly fried with garlic sprouts, stir-fried vegetables, lean meatballs and cabbage soup, chestnut stewed chicken soup, and dessert - brown sugar poached egg glutinous rice balls.
There were exactly twelve dishes, and each table had a jar of white pear blossom, and each table was filled to the brim.
Han Zhibai dug the white pear blossoms out from under a pear tree in the valley before going down the mountain yesterday morning.
The two little ones, who had just woken up from a long nap, smelled the fragrance and ran around the house excitedly.
"Heihei, Xiaobai, come and eat." Chen Yuzhen specially prepared tasteless meat dishes for them, a big bowl for each of them.
"Wang Wang Wang!"
"Wang Wang Wang!"
The two little ones wagged their tails wildly at Chen Yuzhen and laughed with their mouths open.
Han Zhibai and Xia Qingyue, who were standing by, couldn't help laughing.
When all the dishes were served, everyone invited each other to take their seats. Since they were all family and there were no outsiders, there was no need to be restrained or observe complicated etiquette. Everyone sat down.
Just as everyone poured their wine and were about to drink, there was a knock on the door. Listening carefully, there was a commotion outside the house.
"Who is knocking on the door at this time?" Li Weisheng muttered while staring at the gate.
Wedding candies were distributed to the villagers, and no outsiders were invited to the family's wedding, so it stands to reason that no one would be so tactless as to come uninvited.
Just when they were suspicious, Li Weikang suddenly stood up, laughed excitedly, and said, "She's here!"
Then he ran to open the door.
Fang Xiaoyu and Chen Youmao seemed to have thought of something as well. They stood up at the same time and ran towards the gate, shouting happily, "Sister Yurou is here. The villagers must have seen her coming and gathered around her again!"
Everyone was startled at first, then stood up one after another, their joy evident on their faces.
At this moment, Li Weikang and Fang Xiaoyu came in, and it was indeed Qian Wenyuru and Xiaomei.
Fang Xiaoyu took their hands and walked towards the crowd while chatting and smiling.
Li Weikang, who was closing the gate at the back, was either too happy or what, but he tried to insert the door bolt twice but failed and it fell off. He tried it crookedly for the third time and managed to get it right. As soon as he closed the door, he ran to the banquet.
At this time, Qian Yurou and Xiaomei were taking out the gifts they had brought and giving them to the newlyweds and expressing their congratulations.
Like Fang Xiaoyu, Xia Qingyue was surprised that Qian Yurou and the others took time out of their busy schedules to attend their wedding.
"Yu Rou, Xiao Mei, we are very happy that you can come today. Please take a seat. We are all family here. Don't be shy. Eat and drink well."
Han Zhibai smiled slightly and nodded in agreement.
There were originally seats reserved for Qian Yurou and Xiaomei at the three large round tables. They didn't expect that they were so busy that they would rush over from Fenglai Town.
Everyone sat down again. Han Zhibai and Xia Qingyue poured wine for those who could drink, and those who couldn't drink drank brown sugar glutinous rice ball soup, so as to avoid the bad practice of urging people to drink. Those who wanted to drink could drink, and no one would urge them.
As a result, the atmosphere is full of joy and happiness.
The men who were drinking sat at one table, those who weren't drinking sat at another, and the women sat at a separate table, eating and chatting, looking very comfortable.
After three rounds of drinking, Chen Dawei and Fang's father got drunk and fell asleep on the table. It was cold and they would catch a cold if they slept outside, so Li Weikang and Chen Youmao helped them back to sleep.
Han Zhibai also drank a few glasses of wine. His face was red, but his eyes were clear and not drunken.
Seeing this, Xia Qingyue felt relieved.
At noon, Li Benfu was so drunk that he fell asleep, so Han Zhibai carried him back to Li's house to rest.
The dishes on the table were cold, and white lumps of fat had formed in the soup.
Xia Qingyue, wearing a cloak, went back to her room to change into a thicker set of clothes for work. She came out to help clean up, but was pushed back to her room by Chen Yuzhen and the others.
“We can just wash a few pairs of dishes.
Qingyue, you got up early this morning and didn't sleep well last night. Go sleep with Zhibai for a while. I'll call you when dinner is ready."
After Chen Yuzhen finished speaking, she walked out and closed the door without waiting for Xia Qingyue to respond.
