That night, the two of them cuddled and talked for a long time. Yezhi learned quite a bit about Xiaobinzi's family troubles, and she shared some of her own stories, but she didn't mention anything about Goode Glasses or her time travel.
On December 25th, Xiaobinzi took a marriage leave to return to the village with her. They rode their bicycles carefully on the snowy road, with heavy snow continuously swirling in front of them. Xiao Fang squeezed between Xiaobinzi and Yezhi, chattering away, "Master, why don't you drive the Hover Car that Miss Dulisa and the others gave you home? If you don't want Xiaobinzi to know, you could leave first. We haven't even test-driven the new car yet!"
The Hover Car was a wedding gift from Dulisa and the others. Yezhi had once said that she would definitely buy one when she had money. She should have been excited and happy, but she was truly disgusted by the process of receiving gifts from this group. First, Xiao Bai sent the keys on the very first day after she registered. Just when she and Xiao Fang were trying to figure out what it was, Xiao Nan and Tiansuo each sent a batch of parts that needed assembly without saying what they were for. Then Bidefo, Red Bean, and Dulisa sent another batch. Based on Xiao Fang's guesses, she and Xiao Fang spent time assembling and disassembling everything. After much effort, they finally finished putting it together but couldn't get it to start. In the end, the blueprints for the Hover Car arrived late; it turned out that the key wasn't meant to start the car but was used to unlock the manufacturer's protection code before assembly. Yezhi felt dizzy just thinking about it.
"Don't mention that car! Besides, Xiaobinzi and I are married; couples should share both joys and hardships." It was just a bit of snow; it hardly counted as hardship!
"Really?" Xiao Fang expressed doubt. It had heard its master say more than once: 'Couples are like birds in the same forest; when disaster strikes, they fly apart!' (Yezhi: I was just expressing my feelings after hearing about Xiaobinzi's family troubles!)
"Really! Because Xiaobinzi is worth it; don't you think?" Xiao Fang scratched its head. It didn't quite understand what made someone worth it but determined based on its system that Xiaobinzi met the standards of a good person on Earth.
"Isn't it true that as long as someone is a good person, they deserve to be treated well?" This was profound!
Yezhi found it difficult: "Not necessarily; it also depends on feelings!"
Xiao Fang looked troubled. "Human emotions are so complicated!"
At that moment, Xiaobinzi turned to her and said, "Yezhi, hold on tight; it's steep ahead!" She simply wrapped her arms tightly around his waist.
"Climb! Climb! Climb!" Although it made her butt hurt and the journey home felt endless, Yezhi felt very happy and warm inside.
...
On December 29th, Yezhi was awakened by Aunt Zhou at five o'clock. Dressed like a big red envelope, Wolf Child was eating candy while watching Sister Luo do her makeup. "Mommy, I want to be painted too!"
"Sister Luo" said impatiently, "Go out to play and stop causing trouble here!"
"No! I want to stay with 'Sister Yezi'!"
'Yezhi' remembered how adults used to dot a red mark on the forehead of 'Child' with lipstick when they were young, and she waved for 'Wolf Child' to come over.
"Hey~ my young lady, you need to behave!" 'Yezhi' said with a mix of laughter and tears. How could she not behave?
The approaching 'Wolf Child' stared at the two rosy spots on 'Yezhi's' face, curious. "Ye, what's this?" After saying that, he swiped his hand across her face, leaving a black mark.
'Sister Luo' shouted in frustration, "Wolf Child!"
Meanwhile, 'Yezhi' gave 'Wolf Child' a thumbs up, well done!
"Sister Luo, I'm here to help!" 'Zhang Ling' walked in with a smile.
"Reiko, you're just in time. Quickly help me take these two little ones outside."
Sure enough, without 'Xiao Fan' and the others around, 'Sister Luo' quickly helped her get ready.
The courtyard gradually became lively as 'Aunt Ren Er', 'Aunt Li', and Mei Zi came by to check on her and all helped out in the yard.
Meanwhile, the relaxed 'Yezhi' sat on the kang and unknowingly squinted her eyes.
'Aunt Zhou' came in with eggs and saw 'Yezhi' sleeping peacefully.
"This girl! She's so carefree!" Back when she got married, she was so nervous that she couldn't sit still.
"Girl, don't sleep anymore~!"
"Aunt~ let me sleep a little longer!"
Aunt Zhou couldn't be bothered to argue with her and slapped her awake. "What are you sleeping for? Xiao Lin and the others are almost here to pick you up. Take this egg and eat it when you're hungry."
Once Yezhi woke up, she jumped into Aunt Zhou's arms and said, "Aunt~ you really care about me!"
"Sigh~ why are you still so clingy? You're an adult now that you're married. You need to live well with Xiao Lin from now on!"
Aunt Zhou had said this many times before, but this time Yezhi felt like crying. To be honest, she missed her dad and mom. Although they couldn't give her a happy family, the memories of them holding her hand to prevent her from falling, not letting her eat fatty meat and giving her lean meat instead... those images remained deep in her heart.
"Dear, you can't cry on such a wonderful day!" Aunt Zhou quickly covered her eyes with a handkerchief.
She composed herself and said, "Isn't it customary to cry at a wedding?"
"Well, you're crying too early!"
Perhaps it was indeed too early to cry. When it was time to actually leave and cry at the wedding, she found herself unable to shed tears. After letting out a couple of cries, she was picked up by Lin Haitao and placed on the Black Horse adorned with a big red flower, circling around the village.
Upon returning to the Zhou family, the Black Treasure, also decorated with a big red flower, rushed forward to snatch Yezhi away from Lin Haitao, causing everyone present to laugh uncontrollably.
Black Treasure tugged at Yezhi's leg and howled: "Give me that! Let me take care of 'Mama Bear'!"
Lin Haitao felt helpless towards Black Treasure. He gestured to Yezhi, and before Yezhi could react, Niu Niu rushed over and scratched Lin Haitao's head. Laughter erupted from everyone, and Zhang Dou and Wednesday even fell to the ground laughing.
Er Niu brought a piece of candy over to Black Treasure and said, "Black Treasure, have some candy!"
Black Treasure, with no sense of shame, immediately let go of Yezhi and followed Er Niu to taste the candy.
Lin Haitao looked at Er Niu with immense gratitude. Yezhi pulled Niu Niu into her arms, and it settled down; she was just afraid that Yezhi would neglect it.
The wedding finally continued. In the crowded room, the couple first bowed to Aunt Zhou, who was seated, then they bowed their heads together.
At this moment, Zhang Dou shouted mischievously, "Kiss!" Everyone echoed in agreement.
Even Secretary Zhang, Director Yu, and Old Guard were eager to see it happen.
Yezhi leaned in and kissed Lin Haitao on the right cheek.
Aunt Ren Er covered her child Xiao Shuan's eyes and exclaimed, "Hey Maya~ Usually it's the guy who kisses the girl; why has it switched for our Yezhi?"
"Haha~!" Lin Haitao's face turned red from being teased by everyone.
Yezhi generously wrapped her arms around Lin Haitao's neck and said, "Who says girls can't be proactive? I just like my Xiaobinzi; what's wrong with a kiss? Two kisses are fine too!" After saying that, she kissed Lin Haitao on the left cheek. "Now it's symmetrical!"
Xiao Cheng, standing amidst everyone's cheers, suddenly felt envious. Zhang Ling glanced at Xiao Huang, who was also looking at her.
Cart Master With a shout of "Let's begin," the courtyard erupted in excitement. Yezhi sat in her bright red bridal chamber, cracking an egg. "Master, I'm going outside to take pictures!"
"Make sure to take good ones; these are my precious memories!"
Xiao Fang patted her chest confidently. "Xiao Fang guarantees quality; if you're not satisfied, we can always edit the photos!"
"I trust you, go ahead!" With her master's encouragement, Xiao Fang ran off even more eagerly.
Lin Haitao, who had come in to toast Yezhi, looked at her lying on the bed eating eggs, his eyes filled with tenderness.
"Are you hungry?"
"No, I can only watch and not eat later; I need to build some resistance!"
Yezhi was enjoying her food so much that Lin Haitao couldn't help but lean in to share the egg she held.
The two were happily sharing bites when Aunt Zhou burst in energetically. "Everyone is looking for you two; hurry up and come out."
Having just toasted their elders, they were already feeling light-headed. One Egg, along with a group of kids with greasy mouths, joined in the fun. That kid even told Lin Haitao something about adhering to brother-in-law principles and enduring domestic violence, which was...
Zhang Dou and Wednesday were even worse; not only did they switch their drinks, but they also encouraged them to drink from larger bowls. With Yezhi already nine parts drunk, she widened her dreamy eyes and shouted something she would never want to remember: "Who dares to bully my husband! Open the door for Black Treasure!"
……
If you were to ask who the most unfortunate bride in the world is, Yezhi would undoubtedly say it was her.
The banquet lasted for three days, and she was drunk for three days, the smell of alcohol wafting from her, even Niu Niu, her die-hard fan, found it unbearable.
"Drink the honey water!"
Yezhi took the cup and sighed, "My husband is the best!"
Lin Haitao smiled, "My husband looks really handsome when he smiles!"
"Pandering won't help!"
"Who is pandering? I'm speaking from the heart!"
"Stop being poor!"
"I know I haven't been obedient, but everyone is too enthusiastic; it's hard to refuse anyone's drink!"
"I think you just love to drink!" Yezhi didn't deny it; when she's happy, she likes to have a drink, and when she's really happy, it knows no bounds.
She flopped into Lin Haitao's arms, drawing circles on his chest. "Honey, how about we have a drink together tonight?"
Lin Haitao's face suddenly turned cold. Yezhi seemed not to notice and whispered in his ear, "With alcohol to liven things up, I'll be even more enthusiastic and cooperative. Do you want to give it a try?"
