Chapter 175 A Joyous Day

I can't sleep, and I feel a bit dazed while making clothes. It's probably because I'm getting married soon, and all sorts of random thoughts are popping into my head.

She just didn't realize that her current state was due to the anxiety she felt about getting married soon and moving into a strange family, an anxiety that every young woman goes through.

I stayed up until midnight, when I was so tired and had no energy left, that I put down my clothes, lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed), and quickly fell asleep.

Li Xingtang was quite fast. He went back and slept well that night, and the next day he felt refreshed and couldn't wait to get the date. He didn't want to wait any longer and sent the date over on the third day.

Yunxi's grandfathers, uncles, and other relatives all came over. Everything was almost done, and only this last bit of work remained. Everyone was very dedicated.

At least after Yunxi got married, it was a way for her great-grandfather and his family to have some closure for their deceased brothers, sisters-in-law, nephews, and nieces-in-law.

In other words, when you let go of a major concern, you may feel more relaxed.

Because Li Xingtang's vacation was short, he was rushing to the nearest date. There were still about ten days until the wedding, so there wasn't a rush. After all, there wasn't much to prepare, and most of the things were easy to buy.

Those things that are hard to buy can't be bought here anyway, since the two of them will leave after they get married. Even if they want to buy something expensive, like a bicycle, they can only do so in their future home.

Yunxi was quite nervous for the first two days, but after a few days, that nervousness seemed to disappear, and the feeling of nervousness had passed.

By the time I got married, I was in a very calm state of mind. It was just like moving to a different place. There was nothing to be nervous about. Even if I was nervous, I got through that time. I wasn't nervous at all.

The day before the wedding, Yunxi took out a lot of meat and grain from her space, intending to bring them out to eat at the banquet the next day. It was a once-in-a-lifetime event, and she wanted everyone to eat and drink well and have a lively celebration, leaving no regrets.

Several grandmothers, as well as aunts and uncles, came over in advance to help. Some meat needed to be prepared in advance, some rice cakes needed to be fried in advance, and some skillful aunts cut out some red paper and pasted it on the doors and windows.

The ordinary farmhouse courtyard instantly felt cheerful and festive.

They even cleaned the whole yard in advance, since they wouldn't be living here anymore. They killed what needed to be killed and picked what needed to be picked, so they wouldn't have to come back to take care of things, which saved them trouble.

On the wedding day, several grandmothers, aunts, and other female relatives came to help very early, even though everything was almost ready the day before.

She kept talking to Yunxi about things after marriage, telling her to be sensible, virtuous, and to live a good life with Li Xingtang.

One grandmother started talking, then another grandmother continued, and after the grandmothers finished speaking, several aunts and uncles continued talking, rambling on and on. Although it seemed quite long-winded, Yunxi felt that they were definitely worried about her future.

All I could do was repeatedly assure them that I would live a good life from now on.

As for being virtuous and sensible, that depends on the situation. If you can't tolerate something, then don't blame yourself for not being virtuous. Anyway, she feels that she is doing quite well at her parents' home. If she goes to her husband's home, her life will not be as good as her parents' home. If someone wants to take advantage of her, then forget it. She is not the kind of person who is easily taken advantage of.

It was only because he had lived a leisurely life for the past few years that his malevolent nature as a demon had been almost completely worn away, allowing him to settle down and live a peaceful life.

After the elders left, only Yun Shengnan, who had married out, and 13-year-old Yun Lixue remained. Although Yun Lixue looked young, she was considered an adult in the countryside.

So she stayed by Yunxi's side. Yun Shengnan had already married, but because the Yun family had too few daughters, even though she was married, she and the youngest daughter, Yun Lixue, stayed with Yunxi.

Li Xingtang was extremely anxious and couldn't wait to bring Yunxi back. It had been so many years, and he could finally marry her. He tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep, simply because he was too excited.

So when the actual day arrived the next day, I got up very early. It was just getting light outside, and I got up with the others to prepare for the wedding.

I checked my watch about every five minutes, and for the first time, I felt like time was passing so slowly.

Why isn't it time to leave for the wedding yet?

He felt like ants were biting his whole body, he couldn't stand or sit, and kept pacing back and forth. Seeing this, Li's mother rolled her eyes at Li's father, thinking that her son was just as useless as his father.

Finally, the time arrived, and with everything prepared—chicken, duck, meat, fish, and the like—we set off without hesitation.

Fu Zhewen and Qin Mo, his good brothers, and his cousin Liang Junhao also came. As members of the wedding party, they rode bicycles behind Li Xingtang, genuinely happy for their brother.

After all, being able to marry the most beautiful girl in the surrounding area is a skill in itself. I've seen what my brother's wife looks like, so their standards have become a bit higher. They look down on ordinary girls. It's just a pity that my brother's wife doesn't have any sisters. It's such a shame.

The only unmarried sister is only 13 years old. Even if they were the worst of animals, they would never pursue such a young girl.

I wonder where my future wife will be?

Although they were thinking about their future wives, they all dressed up especially handsomely for their good brothers' wedding day. In case there were pretty girls in the village, dressing up would make it easier to meet them.

In their view, Yunjia Village is such a blessed place, capable of producing the most beautiful girl in the surrounding area, and possibly a second one. Opportunities are for those who are prepared, so you should dress up in advance. If the opportunity comes and you haven't dressed up, then you're just letting someone else have it.

Li Xingtang rode his bike at a brisk pace the whole way. Thinking that he would soon be picking up his wife and bringing her home, he practically stood up and pedaled, wishing he could cover an hour's journey in ten minutes.

He didn't care at all when others made fun of him. In his words, they were envious that he had married such a beautiful wife.

After finally arriving at Yunxi's house, they saw the open door in the distance, but to their surprise, after parking their bicycles, they closed the door.

Knowing it was a custom that throwing coins would open the door, I was lucky to have exchanged a lot of one-cent coins before I arrived. Time passed and I threw the coins to the other side of the wall. While the people inside were grabbing the money, I quickly pushed the door open and went inside.
