Even as calm and indifferent as Xiao Xiangdong, he was still stunned by the beauty in front of him.

The short bangs cover the injured forehead, revealing only the delicate eyebrows hidden underneath. The nose is delicate and straight, with a hint of delicateness. The lips are slightly protruding and the lips are beautifully shaped. The corners of the mouth on both sides are slightly raised at the moment. A small face was so white that it was almost transparent in the sunlight.

Xiao Xiangdong was so close that he could clearly see the down on her face.

Even my heart felt like it was scratched by tiny fluff, causing it to itch.

"Ahem, Xiaoman, I'll take you home." Xiao Xiangdong stretched out his hand.

"Okay." Meng Xiaoman put her hand on his.

Someone was hooting next to him, but Xiao Xiangdong couldn't hear clearly. He could only hear his own heart beating loudly, and the sound became louder and louder.

"Oh, Dongzi, you are so handsome." Zhang Dongliang elbowed Xiao Xiangdong, feeling happy for his brother from the bottom of his heart.

Xiao Tiezhu, who came to help on the other side, also said stupidly, "This sister-in-law is so beautiful."

When Meng Xiaoman was teased, her cheeks turned red and her eyes were filled with shyness.

It even looks more like a pair of peach blossom eyes, like autumn water, full of light.

Xiao Xiangdong, who was teased by his brother, suddenly wanted to marry this little daughter-in-law back home and hide her!

Zhao Erlei, who was behind, couldn't help but remind him: "Okay, hurry up, the time is up, everyone is waiting?"

My sister likes Xiao Xiangdong very much. If something hadn't happened to him, maybe my sister and Xiao Xiangdong would be getting married now.

As a friend who had been playing together since childhood, he certainly knew that Xiao Xiangdong was a good man. The originally intended brother-in-law was now married to someone else.

Zhao Erlei felt somewhat uncomfortable.

But when I thought about his legs, I couldn't help but feel relieved. Fortunately, my sister listened to the advice, and my parents didn't agree.

Hearing someone urging her, Meng Xiaoman didn't think much, said something about her luggage, and followed Xiao Xiangdong out the door.

Zhang Dongliang, on the other hand, glanced at Zhao Erlei with dissatisfaction.

Thinking that today was Brother Dongzi's wedding, he didn't say anything. He thought to himself that when the wedding was over, he had to have a good chat with Zhao Erlei and not hurt the relationship between the brothers.

Although this marriage was not what Xiao Xiangdong wanted at first, after their brief relationship yesterday, he was "shocked by the beauty" today.

Xiao Xiangdong couldn't help but rejoice in his heart. Fortunately, he was the one who was by her side. If he was not there and everyone caught Meng Xiaoman with that second-rate Xiao Daqing and was forced to marry Xiao Daqing, he would not be able to help but kill him.

Meng Xiaoman's bedding, boxes and other things were packed and placed on the kang. Zhang Dongliang and Xiao Tiezhu were held separately.

Xiao Xiangdong had bad legs and couldn't carry her on his back, so Meng Xiaoman took his arm and walked to the door.

There was a mule cart parked at the door.

These days, when people in the countryside get married, the better ones can pick up the bride on a 28-large-bar bicycle, and there are also some who can hardly walk to the husband's house. Most of them ride in ox carts or mule carts.

But Meng Xiaoman is from the city. Xiao Xiangdong also knows that there are four popular items in the city, also called "three turns and one ring", namely sewing machines, bicycles, watches and radios, and "thirty-two legs", namely beds, cabinets, tables and chairs, etc.

For Meng Xiaoman, none of these things exist, so Xiao Xiangdong is not guilt-free.

"There's only a mule cart, I'm sorry for you." Xiao Xiangdong whispered.

Meng Xiaoman shook his head to show that he was not aggrieved, and quickly got on the mule cart.

Different from the deserted situation of the Educated Youth Home, the Xiao family is quite lively, and the screams of children can be heard in the distance.

Xiao Xiangdong has five brothers and sisters, the first four sons and the last daughter, Xiao Xiangdong ranks third.

As the saying goes, the boss is weird, the boss is cute, and the middle one is a doormat. Xiao Xiangdong was unfortunately born in the middle.

This wedding was arranged in a hurry, and the inside was not very glorious. Although the Xiao family said they wanted to have a grand wedding, in practice, everything was kept simple.

After all, the fourth child in the family is still unmarried, and the youngest daughter is still unmarried, so there will be plenty of places to spend money in the future.

Therefore, in the courtyard of the Xiao family, four tables were set up, of which the Xiao family occupied one and a half tables.

The others are all people in the team who have had personal relationships with the Xiao family over the years.

Xiao Xiangdong sent Meng Xiaoman to the house and went out to entertain the guests.

Meng Xiaoman looked at the new house and thought about the future.

The room is not small, but there are too many miscellaneous things in it, and there are two single beds in it, making it very crowded.

The room had obviously been tidied up on purpose. The piles of debris were covered with straw mats to make the room look less messy. The sheets and quilts on the bed were all military green and washed very clean. It smells like soap locust.

At the head of the bed was a small wooden table, with several military books placed on it. The corners of the books were frizzy and curled, but they were placed neatly and upright, flush with the corners of the table. It can be seen that the owner of the book likes to read it and cherishes it very much.

Meng Xiaoman was bored, so she packed her luggage and put most of her money, tickets, and new clothes that she had not worn into the space.

In the space vacated in the box, cotton-padded clothes and pants and clothes that were 70% to 80% new were put in. I unlocked it and put the key into the space.

Only a few pieces of semi-old, commonly worn clothes were left on top of the wooden box.

The Xiao family is not divided into separate families. More than a dozen members of the family live in the same courtyard. The place where she lives doubles as a storage room, so there is no privacy at all.

She doesn't have the intention to harm others, but she has enough to be on guard against others.

After packing her things, Xiao Xiangdong came to call her for dinner and a toast.

These days, city people have to use tickets and money to buy from supply and marketing cooperatives when drinking. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy good wine. They are all on special supply.

The wine that country people drink is basically made from grain. But it would be good to have enough food every year. How can we be willing to use good food to make wine. Therefore, most of the drinks were sorghum wine.

The adult men eating at the banquet only had a small cup each, which was only enough for sipping. The half-year-old boy stared at it greedily, wanting to have a taste, but his father said, "I haven't even grown hair yet, so it's just that." If you want to drink, wait until you get a wife." He was scolded and went back.

Meng Xiaoman held a glass of boiled water and followed Xiao Xiangdong to finish the toast.

Only his uncle Zhou Dayong came to Xiao Xiangdong's grandfather's house.

Zhou Dayong is quite tall, dark, thin, and a bit rickety. Xiao's father was not very tall. Meng Xiaoman thought that Xiao Xiangdong's tallness was probably inherited from her mother.

However, this uncle was not very close to Xiao Xiangdong. He said a few words and asked them to honor their parents, help their younger siblings, and support their nephews.

Meng Xiaoman was confused. Would a normal person wish a young couple to have a son soon and have a full family of descendants?

Why did the uncle ask him to support his nephew? Could it be that... Xiao Xiangdong not only injured two legs, but also the third leg...

Meng Xiaoman thought about the gossip in the village that night, and the more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

The banquet consists of two meat and four vegetarian dishes, a total of six dishes. It is said to be two meat dishes, which means some shredded pork and minced meat are added to the vegetarian dish. If you don't look carefully, you can't find it at all.

The staple food is multigrain steamed buns mixed with corn flour and sorghum flour. Although the taste is not good, it is filling.

Meng Xiaoman sat at the table next to the female guests. Those sitting there were all young sisters-in-law or young girls.

On the left, sister-in-law Liu Zhier is holding her youngest son and feeding him.

Meng Xiaoman couldn't accept the fact that the child looked like three or four years old and was chewed up and fed to him.

The second sister-in-law Zhou Xinghua on the right had two boys standing next to her, one on the left and the other on the right. Zhou Xinghua kept picking up vegetables for the two of them. She turned over the two plates of meaty dishes two or three times, just to find them for the children. Order some meat.

The smaller one standing next to her started to have a runny nose as he ate, but this did not affect the speed of his meal at all. He just took the time to suck back the exposed snot, and then continued to eat.

Meng Xiaoman lost all appetite instantly.

The other sisters-in-law were all busy eating, their chopsticks flying.

However, a pretty little girl diagonally across the street was more elegant, but she was a little strange, always looking at her from time to time.

As soon as Meng Xiaoman raised her head, she immediately lowered her face. As soon as Meng Xiaoman lowered his head, she looked over again.

Next to her was Xiao Xiangdong's fifth sister, Xiao Xixi. The two chatted in small words, occasionally glanced at themselves, and then lowered their heads to continue talking.

She was a bride today, so it was normal for others to mention her, and Meng Xiaoman didn't care.
