Jiujiu didn't go empty-handed. She brought some fried dough twists and fruit candies that she bought with her own money.
After seeing Jiujiu's things, Li Changsheng's wife, Chen Rong, took the things and said with a smile, "It's good that you're here. Why did you bring things?"
Jiujiu smiled and didn't say anything about Chen Rong's nagging.
Chen Rong was right, but she was just being polite. If she didn't know how to be polite, she would be too shameless.
Chen Rong had a good impression of Jiujiu. The only thing she didn't like was that Jiujiu was an educated youth who might be spoiled. She was afraid that Jiujiu would tire Li Jianmin out after marrying him.
However, after eating with Jiujiu, Chen Rong didn't have this thought at all.
Because from the conversation, Chen Rong knew that although Jiujiu was the youngest in the family, she could handle all the chores at home. She even helped to take care of the educated youth's meals. Based on this, Chen Rong knew that Jiujiu was not a spoiled person who didn't know how to care for others.
After Chen Rong's biggest worry disappeared, she nodded and agreed to the marriage.
Everything in Li Jianmin's house was newly built. The furniture was naturally prepared by Li Changsheng, and the quilts were prepared by Chen Rong. On the wedding day, Jiujiu only needed to wait for Li Jianmin to pick her up.
Weddings in this era were not particular. They just had a few tables.
However, Li Jianmin liked Jiujiu very much. Because it was the end of the year, Li Jianmin specially killed a pig he raised at home. The meal was very comfortable for everyone.
Not to mention those in the village who hadn't eaten meat for a year and a half, even the educated youth couldn't stop eating.
They had been here for more than half a year. Although they weren't too hungry at every meal, it was impossible for them to eat meat. They only had meat once a year. How could they stop eating?
While eating, the educated youths had other opinions about the marriage between Jiujiu and Li Jianmin. For example, they felt that Jiujiu married Li Jianmin to live a happy life.
Other things aside, Li Jianmin was willing to kill a pig for the sake of marrying Jiujiu. Thinking of the big brick house Li Jianmin built some time ago, it could be seen that he was living a good life.
Although everyone was envious, they only talked about marrying a villager. If they were really asked to marry a village girl or a village man for a better life, they wouldn't be willing.
The educated youths left directly after eating and drinking, while Li Jianmin had to drink a few cups of wine with the villagers. After everyone left, Li Jianmin drunkenly came to the room to see his bride.
The room was lit up. Although it was not as bright as it was during the day, he could still see her face clearly. Jiujiu was wearing a red dress today, and her lips were dyed red with rouge. Coupled with her fair little face, her lips were as red as a ball of fire, and they were dazzling.
The moment he saw Jiujiu, Li Jianmin's breathing stagnated. He casually staggered to the side of the bed and sat down. He tilted his head to look at Jiujiu and grinned foolishly.
Li Jianmin didn't know what he was smiling about, but when he saw Jiujiu's appearance, he wanted to laugh.
When he saw Jiujiu sitting at the table with a cold face under the moonlight, he swore in his heart that he would marry such a good-looking girl in the future.

Today, he finally got his wish to marry this girl. Li Jianmin's heart was filled with indescribable joy.
Li Jianmin took Jiujiu's hand and looked into Jiujiu's eyes. He smiled foolishly and said, "Wife."
Hearing Li Jianmin's drunken and silly voice, Jiujiu's eyes curved slightly. With a gentle smile on her face, she held Li Jianmin's hand and responded.
Li Jianmin was even happier when he heard Jiujiu's response. He hugged Jiujiu and called her wife a dozen times in one breath. Then he smiled foolishly again.
Jiujiu looked at Li Jianmin's silly smile and couldn't help but smile as well.
Jiujiu helped Li Jianmin to sit on the bed. She got up and poured a cup of strong tea for Li Jianmin to drink.
Li Jianmin had a bad temper when he was sober, but when he was drunk, he was strangely well-behaved. No matter what Jiujiu gave him, he would obediently drink it. After drinking, he sat on the bed like a good baby and stared at Jiujiu. Wherever Jiujiu went, he would look. If Jiujiu was busy and didn't respond to him, he would eagerly call her wife. When he got Jiujiu's response, he would continue to sit there like a good baby. He was so cute.
Jiujiu used the stove in the room to cook a bowl of noodles with ready-made noodles. She watched Li Jianmin finish eating. After washing up with the hot water in the stove, she followed Li Jianmin to soak her feet. Then they went to bed.
Men were self-taught in some aspects. Even if Li Jianmin was drunk and silly, he was self-taught in some aspects. Because of his great physical strength, Jiujiu wanted to beat him.
Sure enough, no matter how he changed, he was always so strong in some aspects.
Because of Li Jianmin's hard work at night, Jiujiu woke up at noon the next day. Fortunately, there weren't so many rules in the countryside, so she didn't need to greet her mother-in-law in the morning. Jiujiu was relieved.
After putting on her clothes, Jiujiu went out and saw Li Jianmin chopping firewood in a single shirt. Seeing her get up, Li Jianmin's wheat-colored face blushed. He lowered his head and picked up a tree stump. As he chopped it, he pretended to say casually, "Get up. I'm heating your rice in the pot. There's hot water on the stove. You can eat after you wash up. Oh right, our mother said that there's some meat left from yesterday's dinner and asked us to eat at her place in the afternoon."
After Li Jianmin finished speaking in one breath, he lowered his head and began to chop the firewood as if the tree stump was a peerless beauty. He couldn't take his eyes off it.
Jiujiu guessed that Li Jianmin was shy, so she nodded and went to wash up.
After Jiujiu left, Li Jianmin let out a long sigh of relief. He raised his head and peeked at Jiujiu as he revealed a silly smile. When he thought of how Jiujiu was already his last night, Li Jianmin felt as if he had eaten a ginseng fruit. There wasn't a single part of his body that wasn't comfortable.
After Jiujiu finished eating, she washed the dishes and cleaned up the room before going out to see Li Jianmin.
Li Jianmin's work efficiency was high. In just a short while, the area under the eaves outside the room was already filled with chopped firewood.
Seeing Jiujiu come out, Li Jianmin raised his head and looked at Jiujiu, revealing his white teeth. He smiled and said, "Wife, what are we eating for lunch?"
Jiujiu took out a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped the sweat on Li Jianmin's forehead. She smiled and said, "What do you want to eat?"
"I want to eat noodles with chili. Sprinkle it with oil and add some vinegar. It must be delicious."
