The next day came in a blink of an eye.

Before dawn, Li Xiuzhi got up and helped Hu Meilan cut the window grilles and decorate the house.

Xu Lingjun slept with Xu Yiyi until the sun came up.

"Papa, where is Mommy?"

Xu Yiyi lay on Xu Lingjun's body sleepily, muttering and asked.

"She went to help grandma, do you still want to sleep?"

Xu Lingjun reached out and rubbed Xu Yiyi's little head and said softly.

Maybe it was because of the bed. Last night, Xu Yiyi struggled for most of the night before she fell asleep. If it hadn't been for the noise coming from outside, she wouldn't have been woken up.

After a while, he didn't hear Xu Yiyi's answer. When he looked down, he found that Xu Yiyi was asleep. He smiled slightly and hurriedly patted her on the back.

"Creak!" With a sound, the door was opened.

Li Xiuzhi hurriedly walked in. Just when she was about to call Xu Lingjun to get up, she saw Xu Lingjun making a hissing gesture at her.

She pursed her lips and smiled, reached out to close the door, then walked over and whispered: "You're not awake yet?"

"I just woke up and fell asleep again."

Xu Lingjun replied softly.

"Let me watch her! Get up and wash up quickly, my brother and the others are about to leave."

Li Xiuzhi urged in a low voice, then reached out to pick Xu Yiyi up and put it aside, and gently covered Xu Yiyi with the quilt.

"Um!"

Xu Lingjun nodded and got up, quickly got dressed and walked out.

As soon as she walked into the living room, Hu Meilan came up to her with a smile on her face and said, "Lingjun, go wash up and have some breakfast. You will be picking up someone soon."

"OK."

Xu Lingjun nodded in agreement, turned around and went to the yard to wash up.

Originally he didn't have to go, but Li Jianguo was worried about what would happen and insisted on him going to pick up the bride. He had no choice but to agree.

In this era, when many people get married, the groom himself goes to the other person's home to pick them up. There are not many ceremonies at all, let alone the groomsmen and bridesmaids like in the 21st century.

The only thing that can be called a rule is that when the bride enters the wedding, she still has to worship heaven and earth before entering the bridal chamber, and prepare a banquet for the guests under the auspices of the elders.

After all, that special period had just ended, and people were used to keeping things simple.

And, the most important thing is to save money.

Soon after, at Li Jianguo's urging, Xu Lingjun drove an ox cart and followed Li Jianguo toward Shiba Village.

Along the way, the villagers saw the red hydrangea hanging on Li Jianguo's chest and started joking.

Li Jianguo was riding his bicycle with a proud expression on his face. He kept responding to the villagers and using his feet harder and harder, he soon left Xu Lingjun behind.

Xu Lingjun couldn't help but roll his eyes as he watched Li Jianguo riding faster and faster.

Fortunately, he still remembered the way, otherwise he would have to turn around and go back.

More than half an hour later, he drove the bullock cart to Luo Xiaofang's house. Before he could park the cart, he heard a noise coming from the house.

He frowned, jumped out of the bullock cart and ran into the house.

As soon as he reached the door, he found Li Jianguo pulling Luo Xiaofang to hide aside, while Luo Hongquan and his family were confronting a young man.

"Luo Hongquan, please pay me back the money quickly, or I will go to the police station to sue you."

"I don't need money, but I need my life."

"you you..."

"What are you doing? If you have any sense, get out of here, or my fists won't recognize you."

"Come on! It's still reasonable for you to cheat money!"

"I didn't force you to give this, and didn't I say it? As long as you can come up with 300 yuan, I will marry Xiaofang to you."

"300 yuan! You might as well go and grab it!"

"Huh! If you don't have money, don't talk nonsense. Get out of here."

"No, you must give me an explanation today!"

"Are you leaving?"

Luo Hongquan stared angrily, clenched his fists and threatened.

"Get out of here, or we'll be rude to you."

Luo Dawei then shouted loudly.

"Just wait for me."

The young man's expression changed, he turned around and ran out in a hurry.

Xu Lingjun glanced at the young man who fled in a hurry, walked up to Li Jianguo with a sullen face, and asked, "Are you okay?"

"fine!"

Li Jianguo shook his head and said with an ugly expression.

"Um!"

Xu Lingjun nodded slightly, turned around and walked towards Luo Hongquan.

"Hey, you're here!"

Luo Hongquan saw Xu Lingjun coming over and hurriedly greeted him with a smile.

"Are you saying you want to marry my sister-in-law to that man just now?"

Xu Lingjun asked with a bad expression.

"No, no, I said it deliberately to coax him."

Luo Hongquan was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly shook his head and explained.

"I don't care what happens between you. You'd better not bring us any trouble. Otherwise, I will definitely let you know what regret is."

Xu Lingjun said with a calm face, word by word.

"No, no, don't worry."

Luo Hong's whole body trembled and he said with some fear.

"Okay, then hurry up and take out my sister-in-law's dowry. We'll pick her up and leave."

Xu Lingjun's expression softened and he nodded.

"Okay, Dawei, hurry up and go into the room and take the firecrackers to the door to hang them up. Erhong, hurry up and dress up Xiaofang and take out her dowry."

Luo Hongquan heard this and did not dare to delay, so he immediately gave orders.

Luo Dawei agreed and quickly ran into the room.

Diao Erhong glanced at Xu Lingjun with some fear, quickly walked around Xu Lingjun and walked towards Luo Xiaofang.

Luo Xiaofang lowered her head and followed Diao Erhong into the room.

After a while, she changed into a red wedding dress and was pushed out by Diao Erhong.

She sobbed softly and said, "Mom, can you please stop driving me away?"

Diao Erhong's face changed, and he shouted in a low voice: "What are you talking about? We didn't drive you away, so don't talk nonsense."

As she said this, she glanced at Xu Lingjun quickly, fearing that she would offend Xu Lingjun.

"Mom~wuwu"

Luo Xiaofang burst into tears and held on to Diao Erhong's sleeve tightly without letting go.

"What are you doing? Let go quickly and leave quickly. Don't harm us at home."

Diao Erhong shouted nervously.

Xu Lingjun looked at this scene, shook his head inwardly, and winked at Li Jianguo.

Li Jianguo was slightly stunned, then hurriedly stepped forward to grab Luo Xiaofang and walked towards the door.

"I won't leave, I won't leave!"

Luo Xiaofang struggled hard and refused to leave.

"Xiaofang, what are you doing? Don't you want to marry me?"

Li Jianguo asked anxiously.

"No, Brother Li, I want to marry you, but I don't want to be without my parents!"

Luo Xiaofang cried loudly and said.

Li Jianguo was slightly startled and relaxed his hands.

Luo Xiaofang hurriedly turned around and hugged Diao Erhong, burying her head in her arms and crying.

"What are you doing? Go quickly, go quickly."

Diao Erhong pulled Luo Xiaofang hard, trying to push Luo Xiaofang away.
