Three or Two Things about Rebirth

Although Qin Huifang and Lu Jiaming's wedding was hasty, it was definitely grand.

The first car to pick up the bride was a brand new black Mercedes Benz with a license plate number from Yi City. Behind it were nine red Jetta sedans, and at the very end was a large bus filled with guests from the bride's family.

Qin Huifang's wedding broke the record of the number of people from Jiayang's family. Usually, there were more than 20 people from her family who came to see her off, and with the guests from her husband's family, there were just enough people to sit at three or four tables.

But there are forty-nine members of the Qin family’s maternal family.

Qiu Luming was sitting in the second Jetta, holding an enamel basin covered with a red cloth in his arms, which contained red dates, peanuts, longans, lotus seeds, some grains and coins. Next to him was Qin Huifang's cousin, who was holding a basin filled with pairs of combs, soaps, shampoos, etc., also covered with a red cloth.

The wedding procession caused quite a stir in the street, and pedestrians stopped to watch. Qiu Luming noticed that there were traffic police directing traffic at every intersection. His cousin explained that it would be unlucky for the wedding car to stop halfway, so the Lu family asked the traffic police to direct traffic in advance.

She also saw a man sitting on a police three-wheeled motorcycle with a camera on his shoulder, recording the convoy.

The convoy had a smooth journey all the way until it arrived at the downstairs of the new house. The firecrackers lasted for ten minutes before they stopped. The world was filled with green smoke and red firecracker shells. Qin Huifang and Lu Jiaming finally got out of the car. Photographers and cameramen kept taking pictures around them. After a few minutes, a group of young people smiled and threw red paper and grains at them. As they threw the red paper, their gestures changed, and the grains became more and more violent, making crackling sounds. Ma Mingjun and Zheng Wei rushed up to stop them, while Lu Jiaming grabbed the windbreaker in Han Meifen's hand and covered Qin Huifang's head, protecting her as she ran towards the corridor.

Several classmates from junior high and high school were chasing the newcomer and hitting him with laughter. Some of them were holding plastic bags filled with corn kernels and soybeans, blocking the door of the unit. They jumped up and screamed, and threw the corn and soybeans at the newcomers as if they were spiking a ball. Qin Huifang was lucky because she was covered by her windbreaker, but Lu Jiaming was hit on the head and face several times and cursed in pain. The photographer had retreated far away early and recorded this scene diligently.

Han Meifen was unable to dodge and was hit by a handful of corn kernels. She screamed in fright. The best man was very loyal and stood behind Han Meifen, protecting her out of the battle circle.

Lu Jiaming was so angry that he yelled, "Qian Feng, Gao Yang, you two beasts, you ate my food and still beat me to death!"

"Hahaha!" Everyone laughed and shouted, "I'm sorry, Qin Huifang. It's Lu Jiaming's fault for being such an inhumane guy. Last year, when Qian Feng got married, he used a slingshot to shoot tomatoes at him, leaving Qian Feng's face covered with persimmon seeds. He also hit the bride with peppers and eggplants! Now you're paying for it!" Then came another round of corn kernel attacks.

At this time, the door of the unit opened wide, and several burly men rushed out. They blocked the mischievous students one by one and broke the plastic bags.

Qin Huifang and Lu Jiaming finally entered the unit. The classmates knew when to stop, turned off the engine, and laughed loudly, saying it was so exciting.

The bride got out of the car, and her parents' families also got off one after another. Qiu Luming was holding the basin, and she stepped on the soybeans at the door of the unit. Her foot slipped, and fortunately someone next to her supported her, so she did not fall down with the basin. She thanked him with lingering fear, carefully held the treasure basin and went up to the third floor. At the door of the new house, someone from her in-laws smiled and took the basin from Qiu Luming's hand and gave her a red envelope.

Qiu Luming walked into the new house. There were red wedding characters on the TV and refrigerator, and a red carpet on the floor. It was probably laid temporarily to prevent the solid wood floor from being damaged.

There were too many people, so she hid on the balcony and looked downstairs. There were even more people standing below, lining up on the main road.

Wow, the Lu family is really grand!

After a while, someone called Qiu Luming to take a photo. She hurried out from the balcony and sat on either side of Qin Huifang with Han Meifen. The photographer half squatted down and took two photos of them. The two of them took photos with Qin Huifang separately. As soon as the photos were taken, someone immediately sat next to the bride. Qiu Luming felt that Qin Huifang's expression was stiff and her emotions were almost on the verge of becoming angry.

She took the purse that Han Meifen was carrying, took out the powder, and pretended to touch up her makeup. She took a closer look at Qin Huifang, who was wearing heavy makeup, and chuckled.

"What are you laughing at? I'm so tired!"

Qiu Luming used the powder puff to gently touch the wings of her nose twice and reminded her in a low voice, "It's being recorded. Watch your expression and don't lose your temper."

Qin Huifang immediately exhaled slowly, and her expression looked much better.

Some of Qin Huifang's family members were looking through her wardrobe, praising it endlessly; some were studying the microwave in the kitchen; and some were admiring the huge wedding photo.

Suddenly someone screamed, "What's going on? Didn't they say pregnant women are not allowed to enter the bridal chamber? Why is there still a pregnant woman?"

"Hey, hey, what are you pulling me for?" This was another voice.

"If I don't pull you, who will I pull? You dare to sit on the bride's bed when you are pregnant, what are you thinking?"

"What era is this? Why are you still superstitious? Can I stand and take a photo without sitting?"

"What are you taking pictures for? Get out of here! Hey, who are your in-laws? What's wrong with you? Do you still want to get married? Do you want to stop living together?" Qiu Luming squeezed forward and saw that it was Qin Huifang's cousin who was in the same car with him. She stood in front of Qin Huifang, with one hand on her waist and the other pointing at a young woman with a slightly bulging belly. "It's only the first day after you got married, and you're already bullying us because there's no one in our family!"

"No, no, no, let's talk it out nicely. Don't quarrel on such a happy day!" A woman in her forties squeezed over, smiled apologetically, and pulled my cousin aside to talk it over.

"Didn't you say during the in-laws' meeting that pregnant women were not allowed to enter the bridal chamber, and that no one was allowed to sit on the bride's bed? Huh? Look, what's going on here?"

"Oh, this is not a stranger, but Jiaming's uncle's sister. She loves her brother and wants to see him pick up his bride. She has no other intentions, she just wants to see the bride's dowry."

"What are you looking at? Those who know will think you feel sorry for your brother, while those who don't will think you are deliberately attacking the bride! Hey, why are you still standing there? Get out!" Tsk tsk, my cousin is so domineering, even more so than Qin Huifang.

No one in the Qiu family believed this, so Qiu Luming really didn't know that pregnant women couldn't enter the bridal chamber. The "fang" that his cousin mentioned roughly means "ke", which also includes things done intentionally to hinder other people's luck.

Qin Huifang looked at Lu Jiaming expressionlessly.

The pregnant woman's face turned red. She held her belly and looked at her cousin angrily as he held her arm.

"Third sister, there are so many people here, don't squeeze you. Let my brother-in-law take you to the hotel and wait. Second aunt! You, you, you, please take my third sister downstairs!"

Lu Jiaming's elder sister also came over after hearing the voice, "Huifang..."

Just as she was about to say something, she was interrupted by Lu Jiaming, "Sister!"

The elder sister of the Lu family looked at her brother, who was sweating all over his face and looking at her pleadingly. She poked her finger on his forehead in anger and said, "You are a damned bastard!"

She turned her head and forced a smile, saying to her second aunt and third sister, "Let's go downstairs first, so as not to squeeze Xiaomei's belly!"

The two of them went downstairs with stiff expressions. Qiu Luming heard his second aunt sigh and say, "How can Jiaming be so useless and so afraid of marrying a wife! You said his family is so well-off, his father is the director of the tax bureau, and there will be so many girls lining up for him when they graduate next year. What kind of girl can't he find? But he had to marry a tigress! I think your second aunt will suffer in the future!"

"The Qin family is too overbearing. Fortunately, her father didn't become the deputy county magistrate, otherwise I don't know how he would show off! I have never heard of any family not allowing pregnant women to attend a wedding! Humph, I am not afraid of crowds, so what is she afraid of?"

"They are just making trouble. Don't take it personally..."

——On the wedding day, the bride's family is the most important, and many families will make some appropriate noise and trouble. In this way, they show the dignity of the bride's family and let the husband's family know that the bride's family is not to be messed with.
