To be honest …
Xu Dongsheng did not sympathize with Mi Jianguo, and he was even more disgusted with Yu Hongyan. It was no wonder. Everyone knew who was good and who was bad.
He secretly thought that this couple deserved to be taught a lesson. After all, they had abused a teenage girl. Not only did they beat and scold her daily, they even drugged her and almost married her to a scoundrel, ruining her life.
So …
In today's matter, he was on Chen Yaozhong's side. When he saw Mi Jianguo being beaten, he did not stop him. When he mentioned Yu Hongyan, he almost revealed her whereabouts.
Tang Xiling understood her husband's abhorrence of evil and was afraid that he would make a big deal out of it. Besides, for Tang Xiling now, all the past grudges were fleeting. The most important thing was for her husband to recover from his illness. She could not be angry and worry about him.
He quickly said, "Village Chief, you must have seen wrongly. Yu Hongyan has been missing for so long. How could it be such a coincidence that you saw her?"
The meaning behind his words was obvious …
Don't talk nonsense!
Only then did Xu Dongsheng stop talking.
Mi Jianguo was not satisfied and continued to ask, "Village Chief, where did you see them? Tell me about it! "
Xu Dongsheng glared at him. "I don't know!"
Chen Yaozhong was a smart man. How could he not understand what his wife meant?
He also knew that … Tang Xiling was worried. To comfort her, he took a deep breath and calmed himself down. Although he still felt that kicking Mi Jianguo twice was not enough to vent his anger, he could only wave his hand vigorously. "Get lost."
When Mi Jianguo heard the word "get lost," he felt as if he had been granted amnesty. He got up and ran away.
Xu Dongsheng looked at his back and shook his head. He sighed … Useless mud can't support a wall.
Then he turned to Tang Xiling. "I'll go first then! If there's anything, come and find me! You just got home. Have a good rest! "
He was a little annoyed, so he did not say anything more and slowly walked out of the courtyard.
There were no outsiders in the house. Pang Xiling looked around and sighed softly. "Let's go home."
She brought her husband home.
Chen Yaozhong walked to her side and said, "When I returned to this old courtyard, I was reminded of many things in the past. In the blink of an eye, more than half of my life was over! Ling 'er, it's the Qingming Festival. I want to visit your parents' graves and tell them … that I've finally married you. Xiang 'er has also returned to the Chen Family. I want them to be at ease! "
Tang Xiling did not say a word. She quietly nestled in his arms with her arms around his waist and her face pressed against his chest. All she could hear was the man's strong heartbeat.
Chen Tang and his wife's return to the village was simply explosive news. In less than half a day, almost everyone in the streets knew about it.
There seemed to be no secret in the village. The news of Mi Jianguo being beaten up had spread like wildfire.
Although everyone was curious about Tang Xiling and her new husband's life as a newlywed, no one dared to join in the fun. They were all afraid of being beaten up. The way they looked at Tang Xiling was also different … They always looked at her carefully and ingratiatingly.
Chen Yaozhong did not return to the village to make friends with relatives. He returned to the village to clear the name of his wife and child. Since he had achieved his goal, he was more than happy to have peace and quiet. Every day, he would take Tang Xiling to walk around the mountains and rivers, repair the house … He found it enjoyable.
Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye.
The day of the wedding arrived.
Early in the morning …
The drummers arrived early in the morning. It was very lively outside the courtyard of the Tang Family's residence.
In the bridal chamber …
Tang Xiling sat on the bed … wearing an old-fashioned wedding dress. This was the dowry that her mother had carefully selected for her. It had been more than 20 years since she was young, but she had never had the chance to wear it. Today, she finally got what she wanted.
Although she had short hair, under Mi Xiang 'er's skillful hands, her hair was tied into a small bun at the back of her head. She pinned it with a string of fiery red flowers and inserted a golden hairpin with the inscription "Phoenix Returns to Dynasty". The phoenix's head trembled with a huge sea pearl dangling from it. It was noble without losing its elegance.
Her face was lightly powdered, her skin was fair, her facial features were delicate, her lips were bright red, her eyebrows were thin, and her eyes were big and watery. There was also the shyness in her expression, and her slim figure … From afar, it was impossible to tell that she was a woman in her forties.
Xu Jingya stood beside her and looked at her quietly. She praised her from the bottom of her heart, "Sister Tang, you're really beautiful today!"
Not only was she beautiful, but the happiness in her eyes was also the most tangible.
Mi Xaing 'er gently tidied up her mother's hair and added softly, "Mom, your wish for so many years has finally come true! Congratulations! "
Congratulations?
When these words came from her daughter's mouth, it had a different meaning.
Tang Xiling took Mi Xaing 'er's hand and said, "Xiang' er, wow, the biggest reward in my life is having you and your father!"
As soon as she finished speaking.
The drummers at the door suddenly raised the volume of the suona, followed by the crackling of firecrackers. Tang Xiling couldn't help but look out of the window. Her eyes were filled with anticipation, excitement, and a little shyness.
The delayed wedding …
The persistent waiting …
At this moment, it all seemed worth it!
20 years in a different world, but they didn't separate from each other.
Fu Bowen rushed in hurriedly. "Mom, godfather is riding a tall horse to pick up the bride!"
Tang Xiling frowned a little worriedly. "Riding a horse? Is his body okay? "
Her heart couldn't help but fly out of the courtyard.
Mi Xaing 'er understood her mother's feelings and hurriedly said, "Mom, don't worry, I'll go and take a look!"
She trotted out of the courtyard amidst the firecrackers and stood on the steps to take a look … Good lord.
Chen Yaozhong was wearing a long robe and a mandarin jacket, riding on a tall horse. Behind him was a wedding sedan with eight people carrying it, followed by rows of people who came to pick up the bride. They were bustling with noise and excitement as they carried the boxes of betrothal gifts.
Even though Mi Xaing 'er was experienced and knowledgeable, she couldn't help but laugh. This was like a scene from a TV show … Time had suddenly traveled back to before liberation.
It was rare for Chen Yaozhong to have this kind of heart … Since he wanted to marry a wife in an extravagant manner, he had done it to the extreme and completely fulfilled the dream of a young girl in Tang Xiling.
Matchmaker Wu was very experienced in picking up brides. She walked to the front and shouted into the courtyard, "The Chen family is here to pick up the bride! May the newlyweds be reunited and have many children! "
Huh?
Have many children and have many children?
Mi Xaing 'er pursed her lips and smiled at the side.
Matchmaker Wu worked extra hard today and got five times the salary. "Xiang 'er, hurry up and help your mother out. Don't forget to cover her head!"
Chen Yaozhong swung his stirrup and got off the horse amidst the firecrackers. His stalwart body stood in front of her with an unstoppable smile on his face, which was particularly pleasing to the eye and dazzling in the spring sunshine.
Mi Xaing 'er walked quickly to him … Looking at Chen Yaozhong's wrinkled eyebrows and a few strands of gray hair on his temples, she didn't know what to feel in her heart. Thousands of words turned into a clear call, "Dad!"
Chen Yaozhong didn't seem to hear her clearly. He tilted his ear amidst the fireworks, "Ah?"
Mi Xaing 'er laughed and shouted again, "Dad!"
Naturally, she asked casually, "My mother is worried about your health. Can you bear riding a horse?"
Chen Yaozhong felt that his whole heart melted into a puddle of spring water. His eyebrows were squeezed together as he smiled … What could be more blissful than the reunion of father and daughter and the concern of his wife?
He patted his chest heroically, "I've been in the military for half of my life. What's so difficult about riding a horse to pick up a bride? Where's your mother? She's dawdling and still not coming out? I've waited for her for 20 years! I don't want to wait any longer! "
As soon as he finished speaking.
Tang Xiling came out with a red veil over her head. Two matrons of honor helped her out.
Chen Yaozhong saw her figure from afar. His gaze was fixed on her. He was at a loss and didn't know what to do.
Mi Xaing 'er gently poked his waist, "Dad, don't just stand there. You have to help mom onto the sedan!"
"Hmm? Oh! Oh! "
Chen Yaozhong hurriedly replied. He strode over and directly held the Tang Xiling's arm … He didn't seem to have anyone else in his eyes. Moreover, his movement was so big that it made the matrons of honor beside him stumble.
Tang Xiling lowered her head and laughed … Her gaze fell on the man's straight trousers under the veil.
Drums and music sounded …
Firecrackers shook the sky …
Amidst the jubilant atmosphere, the couple got onto the sedan. Tang Xiling sat steadily and raised her hand to lift a corner of the veil. She looked at Chen Yaozhong through the window … She saw her husband majestically riding on the horse. His broad and straight shoulders were like the most unforgettable memories of her youth.
Matchmaker Wu shouted, "Set off!"
Accompanied by the bridal procession, the sedan chair made three big rounds from the beginning of the village to the end of the village … All the villagers came out to watch the fun. They were eating melon seeds and envious. They were thinking that they could eat as much as they wanted during the seven days of banquet.
…
When Tang Xiling returned to the bridal chamber, she sat quietly on the wedding bed … No one dared to enter Military Commander Chen's bridal chamber. The couple looked at each other in silence.
Chen Yaozhong gently lifted the veil.
She looked up and saw a room full of roses. There were at least a few thousand of them. She couldn't help but be stunned. "What … what's going on? They weren't here just now. "
Chen Yaozhong smiled faintly. He bent down and half-knelt by her feet. His voice was low and sexy. "These are the flowers I ordered from Hong Kong. They arrived in the provincial capital yesterday and were delivered overnight. I wanted to give you a surprise. After you got on the sedan, I asked Mi Xaing 'er to redecorate the bridal chamber! I know you like roses. All these years, I've owed you flowers. Today, I'll pay you back in full! "
He reached out and held Tang Xiling's little face with his big hands. His two thumbs gently caressed her delicate facial features. "Xiling, we've waited too long for this day!"
He leaned forward slightly and pressed her down on the bed. He gently lifted the woman's chin and said in a teasing tone, "Xiling …"
"Hmm?"
"Do you still remember what Matchmaker Wu shouted when she came to pick up the bride?"
Tang Xiling blinked in confusion.
Chen Yaozhong smiled. His smile was one of bliss. "She said … she wished us many children!"
Tang Xiling buried her head in his chest shyly. "Look at you. We're already so old … Why are you still talking about this? "
Chen Yaozhong deliberately pulled a long face. "Are you saying that I'm old? Xiling, since ancient times, there's a saying that pear blossoms outweigh begonias … Besides, my hair hasn't turned white yet! "
He didn't say anything more …
Every moment of the night was worth a thousand gold!
He lowered his body and kissed her passionately …
