Chapter 356 Getting married
Outside the house, Yu's father and mother were busy greeting the guests who came in one after another. Their faces were filled with pride and joy. They exchanged a few words with the guests from time to time and then guided them to their seats at the banquet.
Yu Li suddenly heard a series of noisy noises coming from outside. After listening carefully, she realized that it was the bride-picking party. She immediately stood up with a mischievous smile on her face and said to Haitang:
"Haitang, hurry up and sit on the bed. I'm going to go see if He Yuzhu and the others are here."
After hearing this, Yu Haitang immediately sat up straight, holding the corners of her clothes tightly with both hands, and staring at the door nervously. Her heartbeat accelerated, as if it was about to jump out of her chest.
Yu Li and a few of Yu Haitang's good friends were blocking the door. They all had mischievous smiles on their faces and didn't intend to let anyone in so easily.
They winked at each other as they discussed countermeasures, preparing to give He Yuzhu and the others a "warning".
He Yuzhu, He Yuguang, He Yuqiang and Xu Damao walked to the door and pushed it hard but found that it was locked from the inside.
They smiled at each other, knowing that this was a "little trick" of the Yu family. He Yuzhu cleared his throat and shouted, "Haitang, I'm here to pick you up!" His voice was loud and firm, revealing his deep affection and determination for his bride.
When Yu Li heard He Yuzhu's familiar and smiling voice, the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose, forming a sweet arc.
She turned around, looking at her friends behind her, a mischievous glint in her eyes, and asked softly, "Are you ready? We're going to give them a surprise!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Li took the lead in singing a cheerful song, her voice clear and pleasant, like a mountain stream, melodious and moving. Her friends were not to be outdone, and they all followed the rhythm and sang, the singing rose and fell, filling the entire courtyard.
He Yuzhu and others outside the door smiled when they heard the singing. They looked at each other and then sang along in tacit understanding.
Although they knew that this was a "test" from the Yu family, they were more excited and excited about marrying their bride.
As the singing gradually died down, Yu Li gently pushed open the door, leaned half of her body out, and with a smug smile on her face, she looked at He Yuzhu and his group standing outside the door and said mischievously:
"He Yuzhu, are you ready? Our test is very strict!"
He Yuzhu looked at Yu Li's familiar face, a hint of doting flashed in his eyes, and he responded with a smile: "Don't worry, we will definitely make you satisfied!" As he said that, he gave a look to the people around him, indicating that they should act according to the plan.
After receiving He Yuzhu's gaze, Xu Damao immediately understood, took out a bulging red envelope from his pocket and handed it to He Yuzhu.
He Yuzhu took the red envelope and said to Li with a smile: "Sister, the purse is packed, and I promise to give enough. Open the door a little wider, and I will pass the red envelope in."
Yu Li looked at the red envelope in He Yuzhu's hand, a cunning light flashed in her eyes. She deliberately said, "You want to marry our Haitang with just these few red envelopes? No, not enough!" As she said that, she deliberately shook her head to express her dissatisfaction.
Seeing this, He Yuzhu hurriedly stepped forward, with a smile on his face, and explained sincerely:
"Sister, these red envelopes are just appetizers. The real highlight is yet to come. Please open the door first and let me pass these red envelopes in. It's our little token of appreciation."
As he spoke, he deliberately took out a thick red envelope from his pocket and showed it to Yu Li. At the same time, he did not forget to wink at Xu Damao and others, indicating that they should help persuade her together.
When Yu Li heard what He Yuzhu said, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and a sly look flashed in her eyes. She looked at the people around her, and they exchanged a tacit look.
Seeing that everyone nodded in agreement, Yu Li slowly opened the door a little and stretched out her hand to take the red envelope.
He Yuzhu saw this and quickly handed the red envelope in his hand to Yu Li. At this moment, Xu Damao took the opportunity to push the door open and wanted to rush in. Yu Li and others saw this and hurried forward to stop him, and the scene became a little chaotic.
With his agility, He Yuzhu shuttled through the chaotic crowd like a nimble fish. He pushed through the crowd and finally came to Yu Haitang's side.
He looked at her, his deep eyes full of tenderness and affection, as if the whole world existed only for her. He whispered, "Haitang, I'm here to take you home." Every word was like a note played on a string, melodious and beautiful.
When Yu Haitang heard this, a shy blush appeared on her face. She lowered her head slightly, not daring to look directly into He Yuzhu's eyes, but her bright eyes were shining with happiness. She nodded gently, as if to say, "I do."
He Yuzhu was delighted when he saw this. He no longer hesitated, bent down, and with a force, he picked up Princess Yu Haitang. Her body was light and soft, like a blooming flower. He held her in his arms and walked out through the crowd.
Yu Li saw her sister being taken away by He Yuzhu, so she stopped trying to stop them. She smiled and said to her friends, "Come on, let's share the red envelopes." Then, she gave three red envelopes to each person.
They opened the red envelopes and found that each one contained one dollar. Although the money was not much, it was a considerable fortune in this era.
They looked at the red envelopes in their hands with a hint of envy in their eyes. They thought, "What's wrong with a second marriage? What's wrong with having children? They are rich and generous, so they can put everything above everything else."
Amid the cheers of the crowd, He Yuzhu placed Yu Haitang steadily on the back seat of the bicycle. He turned around, bowed deeply to Yu's father and mother, and said:
"Thank you, Mom and Dad. I will take good care of Haitang." Then, he rode his bicycle with Yu Haitang on it and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Mother Yu looked at her daughter's back as she left, her eyes slightly red. She walked to the door, picked up a basin of water, and symbolically poured it out.
This basin of water symbolizes "a married daughter is like spilled water", meaning that the daughter has grown up and is about to leave her parents' arms and start a new life.
