Rebirth in the 60s: A Path to Counterattack-Chapter 57 - 0. Suffered, worked hard, never regretted.

After longing for so long, Lianshan finally awaited the arrival of this day on August 16th.

At the break of dawn, Lianshan, who had been tossing and turning all night due to excitement, got up quickly. After quite a while of washing his face and brushing his teeth, he finally put on the new wedding clothes that Shuzhen made for him by hand.

Thinking he was up early, Lian Yue knocked on the door to call his big brother to get up, only to find that he had already dressed himself neatly.

Lian Yue laughed, saying it’s true that clothes make the man and saddle makes the horse; one’s looks depend on the outfit.

His big brother was naturally tall with a square face and big bright eyes, quite handsome to begin with. Now, wearing those black work pants, a red short sleeve shirt, and a pair of liberation shoes on his feet.

Wow, he exudes handsomeness from head to toe without a single spot missing.

If it weren’t for the fact that their parents passed away early, and his big brother had to take care of both her and Lian Hai like burdens, just by his looks, build, and good skills, finding a partner should have been an easy thing. How could it be that he lingered till this age and finally met someone who was in her second marriage, already carrying a child?

Thinking of this, Lian Yue’s eyes grew a bit misty, filled with deep guilt as she looked at Lianshan.

"Silly girl, today is your big brother’s joyful day, shouldn’t you be smiling cheerfully to give me a good omen? Quickly relax those little brows of yours, give your brother a smile. Don’t worry, even after I marry a wife, I will still be your brother. I will still protect you and Hai Zi, whenever something happens, your big brother will be the first to show up. Your Saozi, she’s also a good person. Just give her your sincere heart, and she will always repay it tenfold.

Things will only get better from now on.

Xiao Yue, quickly smile, all of you happily smiling will make my wedding even more joyful, even happier!" Not good at coaxing his sister, and unwilling to see her and Hai Zi always looking at him with guilt, he directly changed the topic, pretending that Lian Yue was still the little girl who feared her big brother would ignore her after getting married and siding with his wife.

Indeed, bringing up his brother and sister had delayed his marital affairs a lot, but he never took it to heart.

Since their parents passed away one after another, his responsibility and goal had been to raise his siblings and help them settle down.

These years have been tough and tiring, but he never regretted it.

Though the marriage came late, hasn’t God been gracious to him?

Shuzhen is good-looking, kind-hearted, skillful, and broad-minded. In his eyes, she’s flawless, unmatched by any other young girl or wife within the ten surrounding villages.

Just thinking about how such a good wife will be his from now on makes Lianshan’s blood boil with excitement. There isn’t even enough time for all the praises and encouragement, so what room is there for resentment?

Even Shuzhen’s second marriage status and the child she’s carrying just made Lianshan angry at Dai Weiguo for not valuing her, and feeling pity for Shuzhen’s unfortunate circumstances.

There wasn’t even the slightest thought of being picky.

After all, even now, many people are lamenting that Shuzhen is like a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung. Among so many eligible widowers, why would she mindlessly choose someone like Lianshan, who probably doesn’t even have leftover grain?

If Shuzhen were still a single young girl, there would be even less chance for her to marry a poor bachelor!

Seeing her big brother misunderstand her intentions, Lian Yue wasn’t having it. Wiping off her tears with determination, she rebelliously countered: "Look at what big brother is saying, I...I’m just crying tears of joy! You finally have a family and someone to care for you; can’t I, as your sister, be happy for you?"

"Alright, alright, of course you can! Your happiness, big brother knows it well. Hurry up and get something to eat for big brother so he can fill his stomach and go pick up the bride. Then we can also see how you sisters have managed to fix up big brother’s new room after all these days of work! Your secrecy on this is quite intense, tightly withheld until today." Ning Jianshe, who had just come over to help with firewood, arrived to hear the end of this conversation, bustling with a smile as he chimed in.

"How else can we surprise you and amaze you with delight, making those planning to watch from the sidelines drop their jaws in astonishment! Just wait, we guarantee that Big Sao will be delighted, Big Brother surprised, and everyone gathered to watch will be left speechless with shock!" Lian Yue was fully confident in the taste and efforts of her sister, herself, and her sister-in-law.

Ning Jianshe laughed, "Alright, then I’ll be waiting to see how you sisters have jazzed up your big brother’s wedding room."

Due to the campaign movements, the traditional customs of playing music and carrying the bride in a palanquin were all forbidden. The groom would only tie a big red flower to the front of the transport bicycle, ox cart, or tractor when fetching the bride. Once the bride was brought back, they would swear in front of the photo of the Great Leader, firming up their decision to love and respect each other, help and support each other, be harmonious and united, labor and produce, raising children, and to work towards family happiness and the construction of the new society.

Then they would sing a few revolutionary songs like "The East is Red" or "Sailing the Seas Depends on the Helmsman," with the bride and groom earnestly recounting revolutionary family histories, pledging allegiance to the great leader’s image: remain forever loyal to the great leader, adhere to the socialist road, and liberate all mankind... fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Finally, a simple banquet with a few tables would be prepared, and the wedding would be complete.

Of course, with the involvement of Lian Hai and Wang Jianguo, Lianshan’s wedding vehicle was one of the highest-grade tractors in the nearby area.

To add some festivity to her big brother’s wedding, Lian Yue also asked a few familiar young wives to pick many bright red and purple season flowers (hollyhocks), broomcorn flowers (kokanee), cockscomb flowers, impatiens, Virginia creeper, and others. They ingeniously decorated the planter of an ordinary tractor into a proper flower car.

Watching all this left Lian Yue deeply moved and happy, but also with added concern, fearing her actions might become the talk of some with ill intentions.

So when Lian Yue smilingly asked in public whether Shuzhen liked her and her sister-in-law’s efforts, Shuzhen also smiled and replied boldly and openly: "I like it, just looking at these flowers, I can feel the sincerity between you and Fang’er, and I believe your brother and I can definitely live a flourishing life in the new socialist China, like these flowers. The two of us unite, work as one, and contribute to the construction of our new China."

Lian Yue hesitated, still unclear about what her new sister-in-law was implying. However, Qiu Fang quickly understood and silently criticized herself and her sister-in-law for being so caught up in happiness that they forgot about the situation, she quickly and proudly added with a smile: "Of course, sister-in-law, you are a hero among women, and our Lian family has infinite pride as a proletarian of eight generations of poor farmers. You and big brother, it’s a strong alliance, a perfect match sharing same goals! I’m not boasting; in our Liu family village, you won’t find one without red roots and proper background if you count on your fingers!"
