Chapter 269: Chapter 268: A Spectacle That Shocked the Villagers (4 more)
The sudden kiss not only stunned the onlookers but also took Jin Yu by surprise.
The previously impassioned Jin Yu suddenly paused mid-scream, even his hands wrapped around her waist subconsciously loosened.
After kissing him, Xu Niannian realized the boldness of her action.
Seeing Jin Yu still dazed, her face flushed red with embarrassment, she sprang from his embrace and ran onto the car, covering her face.
It was the sound of Xu Niannian shutting the car door that pulled Jin Yu back to reality.
Belatedly, he realized what Xu Niannian had just done to him. frёeweɓηovel_coɱ
Surrounded by a circle of onlookers, Jin Yu gave a silly smile and touched his lips, the soft, tender feeling as if still lingering there.
His wife had kissed him.
In front of so many people, no less.
Feeling both embarrassed and elated, Jin Yu got into the car with a goofy smile.
This time, Xu Niannian didn’t sit in the passenger seat but went straight to the back.
As soon as Jin Yu got into the car, he saw Xu Niannian with her face buried in the seat.
Knowing she was shy, Jin Yu quickly drove away from the scene.
After the two had left, the crowd of onlookers dispersed.
Among them, an old granny lectured her child: "Ah Bao, remember this, when you grow up, you mustn’t imitate these people, so shameless under the broad daylight."
The child named Ah Bao would remember this scene.
So adults all like to play kissy-kissy, huh.
After getting the marriage license, Jin Yu first drove Xu Niannian back to Nanshui Road.
Up till now, Xu Niannian was still too mortified, covering her face and refusing to get up.
Although she was a modern person from an open future society and should, theoretically, be more liberal-minded,
once in this era, it was as if she had adapted to local customs, finding her actions shockingly unconventional and utterly shameless.
And seen by so many people.
She didn’t know what Jin Yu would think of her, burying her face in the back seat, unwilling to look up.
She felt humiliated just thinking about it, her mindset at this moment reduced to that of a quail, completely devoid of the boldness she’d had when kissing Jin Yu earlier.
Jin Yu watched her shy away the entire trip, finding it rather amusing.
Though surprised by her audacity, Jin Yu was far from disliking it; in fact, he found her utterly adorable.
If it weren’t for the inappropriate setting, Jin Yu really wanted to pull her in for another fierce kiss.
"Niannian, we’re home. Shall we get out?"
Xu Niannian made a "mm" sound but didn’t respond.
Jin Yu called out to her several more times, but Xu Niannian still did not leave the car, instead stretching out a fair, delicate hand to wave at him: "You go on first, don’t mind me."
Her voice was soft and coy, making Jin Yu itch all over.
After about 10 minutes, Xu Niannian still hadn’t budged from the back seat.
Jin Yu’s patience reached its limit; he got out of the car, opened the rear door, and scooped her up entirely, his arms passing under her armpits to hold her.
"Niannian, it’s time to get out, be good, listen to me."
Picked up by him, Xu Niannian simply buried her head in his chest and after a long while managed to peer at Jin Yu through slightly parted fingers, her eyes watery.
"Don’t you have any thoughts?" her voice as little as a mosquito’s.
Jin Yu did not hear her and asked, "What did you say?"
Xu Niannian thought he was teasing her, so she simply let her hands drop and glared at him indignantly: "Don’t you think my behavior just now was utterly disgraceful?"
Jin Yu was first taken aback, then a pleased smile appeared, and his deep eyes curved slightly as he laughed aloud, "I like your shamelessness."
"You..."
Xu Niannian, in frustration, pounded on him with her fist, which Jin Yu caught and kissed. Oh, her face was tender, her hands were tender, everything about her was tender.
"Wife..." Jin Yu called softly, carrying her out of the car and pecked her on the lips: "I like everything about you."
"So glib." Xu Niannian slapped him lightly, responding irritably, "Put me down."
Once her feet touched the ground, Xu Niannian couldn’t help but burst into laughter, "Silly, bring your grandpa and mom over to my house tonight to discuss the wedding details."
"Eh, sure thing," Jin Yu agreed readily and only after watching her walk into the house did he drive back to the compound to pick up his mother.
With his son getting married, Jin Nandong, by all means, should have been present, but his special status and pressing duties prevented him from returning.
That evening, Jin Yu brought Wu Lan and the old man to Nanshui Road.
Wu Lan and Yang Cuihua were discussing the wedding arrangements and the various etiquettes.
Xu Niannian didn’t have much time to waste, and Jin Yu also had matters to attend to, so when combining both sides, minor details of etiquette could be simplified, but the wedding ceremony had to be grand.
Getting married wasn’t an easy task, especially when aiming for a grand affair.
Just notifying the relatives could take several days to complete.
Fortunately, most of Xu Niannian’s relatives lived close by, around Qingshan Village, but Jin Yu’s relatives were numerous and, moreover, quite far away.
Most of them were in the capital.
Of course, there were also many friends and relatives that needed to be notified in Nancheng County.
After discussing, Jin Yu told Wu Lan that friends and relatives in the capital would not be invited for now, a meal in the capital would suffice later on.
The Jin Yu family planned to host the banquet at the biggest restaurant in the county, while Xu Niannian’s family would return to Qingshan Village for the festivities.
Villagers and the county folks had different mentalities.
In Yang Cuihua and Xu Dawei’s minds, a daughter must be married off from her home, no matter how wealthy, so that the villagers could partake in the joy of her wedding feast.
Moreover, there were many things to buy, and after calculating it all, at the very least, a week was needed to prepare for the wedding.
This was completely different from what Xu Niannian had expected; she had planned to finish her wedding within three days.
She hadn’t expected that there would be so much to prepare before getting married.
Fortunately, Xu Niannian didn’t need to handle these things herself.
Taking advantage of the time, Xu Niannian worked overtime and made another thirty thousand Liuyue Su, totaling eighty thousand pieces, which should last for at least a month.
With that done, Xu Niannian could finally rest easy and focus on the wedding preparations.
As the wedding approached rapidly, Xu Niannian was busy making Liuyue Su in the county while Yang Cuihua and Xu Dawei had already gone back to the countryside.
After notifying the villagers, the Xu family began to busily tackle various matters.
Xu Sanya, who lived in town, was also called back to help with the preparations.
Xu Sisi also took leave to return home.
In Nancheng, there’s a tradition that the bride price must be delivered the day before the wedding, and it must be carried on a wooden tray.
During these days, Xu Niannian and Jin Yu hadn’t had time to see each other as both were busy with their own things.
It’s worth mentioning that Jin Ruiyang showed up again, and besides him, everyone in the capital still thought Jin Yu wouldn’t have a wedding ceremony.
Jin Ruiyang had too many accumulated leave days unused and, despite his injury not being fully healed, insisted on coming to be the best man upon hearing about Jin Yu’s wedding.
Time passed in a flurry of busyness, and after finishing the Liuyue Su, Xu Niannian was finally escorted back to her old home by Yang Cuihua and Old Lady Xu, who had returned from the countryside.
Finally, the day before the wedding arrived.
The villagers knew that Xu Niannian’s family had made money and she was about to marry into an even wealthier and noble family, generating plenty of envy.
Among them, Auntie Xu, who didn’t get along with Yang Cuihua, was the most enthusiastic, her envy mixed with jealousy, nearly driving her crazy.
Seeing Yang Cuihua beaming with smiles and posturing among the villagers, Auntie Xu felt so jealous her teeth almost hurt.
Unable to hold back, she spat on the ground and scoffed, "What’s there to be so smug about?"
No sooner had she spoken than she heard the villagers’ astonished voices.
It turned out the Jin Yu family’s procession to deliver the dowry had arrived.
In the village, every family used ox carts for their daughter’s marriage.
But in Yang Cuihua’s case, the son-in-law sent an entire motorcade.
A total of five sedans.
Such a spectacle was hard to come by not just in Qingshan Village, but also in the whole Nancheng County.
Not only were the villagers astounded, but Yang Cuihua, Xu Dawei, and the entire Xu family were also shocked.
Their mouths agape in an O shape.
Xu Niannian stayed in her room, which was draped with red account curtains everywhere, but she was still in her everyday clothes because the wedding day was not until tomorrow.
The reason the house was so lively was that in the countryside, the festivities basically lasted for at least three days.
The day before the wedding, the day after, and the wedding day itself.
Xu Sisi stayed with Xu Niannian in the room when they heard the uproar outside, quickly scurried to the window, and peered out.
Seeing the black sedans reflecting blinding light under the sun, Xu Sisi’s mouth dropped open in surprise.
She exclaimed, "Oh... Sister Niannian, your brother-in-law is so cool, he’s off the charts!"
"Huh? Jin Yu is here?" Xu Niannian was startled, "Didn’t they say the bridegroom isn’t supposed to come when delivering the dowry?"
