Chapter 59 - Wedding night

  There was not much snow last night, and there was only a thin layer on the ground the next morning.

  In order not to affect the work of the guest house, Shen Bailu slept in the dormitory last night.

  For two days, Shen Bailu lay down in front of the counter, immersed in a certain kind of joy.

  After Fang Lei returned, he quickly set a wedding date. February 12 this year is New Year's Eve. During the Chinese New Year, Shen Bailu was very busy and couldn't ask for leave, so the wedding time was chosen on Lichun.

  Shen Xiaodong and Shen Chunyu are both at home, busy with their sister's marriage. Shen Bailu took two days off to go home and get married.

  Except for temporarily inviting Li Xiaohong as a matchmaker, no one in the supply and marketing agency invited anyone, because it is not good to invite anyone or anyone. Shen Bailu only intends to ask everyone to eat more sweets when they go back to work.

  The ritual process is very simple, the local rural marriage customs have already been simplified a lot, and Shen Bailu is a guy who doesn't like to be too complicated, so he can keep it simple.

  Lichun, wedding day.

  Shen Bailu wore the red coat that Fang Lei bought, put on nice braids and light makeup, and sat in the room to chat with Li Xiaohong.

  Only hearing a long sound of firecrackers, the groom drove a jeep borrowed from the commune to the side of the road outside the courtyard.

  I actually borrowed a jeep, which is very ostentatious. Shen Bailu originally thought he would ride a tractor or something...hehe.

  Amidst the noise of the crowd, Shen Chunyu held an umbrella, hiding the bridegroom and embracing the bride into the car.

  Although there is no ring wedding dress, I still find this kind of rustic wedding a bit awkward, but don't care about these details, just keep a happy smile.

  The customs here are very good and positive, there is no marriage trouble, but there is a very interesting custom of making a bridal chamber, that is, many boiled and dyed red eggs are hidden in every corner of the dowry.

  After all the dowries were moved into the wedding room, a group of children and some women rushed in noisily to find the 66 red eggs that had been hidden. They rummaged all over the quilts, boxes, wardrobes.

  "Ah there are two here!"

  "I found three too!"

  ...

  Like playing Raiders of the Lost Ark, the excitement is endless.

  But at the end, only 63 were found, and the last three could not be found.

  Shen Bailu also became curious, and helped to search together, and finally found two more red eggs from the red umbrella.

  "Who hid it? Really tricky."

  Shen Chunyu grinned: "Me!"

  But, what about another one?

  Because there was one red egg left and I couldn't find it, and the banquet outside was opened, so no one cared about this red egg, and was not interested in going over it again. They all went out for dinner.

  Shen Chunyu said: "Maybe all 66 eggs have been found, but they were wrong in the previous statistics."

  This is not impossible.
