Chapter 641: Marriage - Superstitious Lu Xixiao, Wen Li: "I'm not wrong to call you old-fashioned"
The car drove all the way from the village to the county town.
The county town is already looking brand new with lights and decorations.
These days are the busiest in the year. Those who work and study outside come back, and the whole family goes out together. Children wear new clothes and take lucky money to visit the stalls in turn.
Everywhere you look, you can see the joy of the New Year.
The old lady said, "When Li Li was little, she was really good at this. She always shot the ball right. There were also the ones with balloons and the ones with hoops. The one with the ball was the hardest. When you throw it in, the ball bounces out. Many people tried but couldn't do it, but Li Li could do it."
Lu Xixiao: "I've seen Li Li play with balloons, she's amazing. Jing Yuan has seen it too, sister is amazing, right?"
The little guy remembered: "Yeah. Grandpa is awesome too."
The old lady looked at the various stalls, full of nostalgia, and talked to Lu Xixiao all the way. Lu Xixiao listened carefully to the old lady talking about Wen Li's childhood, and responded to every word. When he heard the old lady praising Wen Li, he not only followed suit, but also looked proud and proud. He thought the old lady was praising him.
The old lady said, "I still remember that Li Li threw the ball and won a blue round-headed rag doll. Li Li, do you remember?"
Wen Li: "Ding Dong Cat."
The little guy said in a baby voice: "Like a cat?"
Wen Li: "Doraemon."
The little guy suddenly realized: "Woji Island."
"Li Li, do you want to play?" The old lady took out money from her pocket, took out a hundred-dollar note, and handed it to Wen Li with a loving look in her eyes.
Wen Li took a twenty-note from his grandmother.
The old lady: "Has Xiao Lu ever played with these?"
Lu Xixiao: "I've only hit balloons."
The old lady: "Do you want to try it with Li Li?"
Lu Xixiao: "Okay."
The old lady wanted to give money to Lu Xixiao, but Wen Li shook the twenty yuan in her hand and said, "Ten yuan at a time, that's enough, grandma."
Wen Li got the darts and gave ten to Lu Xixiao.
Lu Xixiao came up to Wen Li with a dart and whispered to her, "I want to show grandma that I'm pretty good too."
Wen Li was disgusted: "Aren't you childish?"
Lu Xixiao popped a balloon with a dart and said, "I'm just worried that if you're too bad, grandma will feel sorry for you, Li Li."
Wen Li didn't bother to pay attention to him and nudged him with her arm: "Move over a little and don't squeeze me. Don't you have a turntable over there?"
Lu Xixiao: "I want to play a game with you."
Wen Li: “…”
The old lady stood behind holding the little one, looking at the backs of the two people standing together with a smile on her face. The more she looked, the more satisfied she became.
Twenty darts landed firmly on the turntable, with zero mistakes.
Lu Xixiao asked Wen Li: "Which prize do you want?"
Wen Li refused immediately: "No."
She had originally thought Lu Xixiao would give the prize to Lu Jingyuan, for no other reason than that Lu Jingyuan was a child and the prizes on the stall were all for children. She had intended to give the prize she won to Lu Jingyuan, but he had asked her first. Should she reciprocate by asking Lu Xixiao?
Lu Xixiao felt a little disappointed after being rejected.
"Then I'll give it to Jingyuan."
Wen Li opened her mouth but didn't ask. She turned to the black general standing by her legs with expectant eyes and said, "Pick one."
"Woof woof woof~"
General Black was so happy that he stamped his feet and wagged his tail. He had already chosen a prize and immediately barked twice at it.
Seeing Wen Li give the prize to General Hei, Lu Xixiao felt disappointed and sad, thinking that if he had known earlier, he would have asked Wen Li for it...
There is a park nearby with a tower in it, which is considered a local landmark. The old lady and Lu Xixiao talked about the history of the tower. There is a tree next to the tower with a large but relatively low crown, which is covered with red ribbons.
Many young men and women were standing on tiptoe trying to tie the straps. Some girls were riding on the boys' necks to tie the straps as high as possible, and some even brought stools from home.
Lu Xixiao: "Isn't that the marriage tree?"
The old lady: "Yes. It's quite accurate."
Upon hearing this, Lu Xixiao looked at Wen Li. Although he didn't say anything, his actions and eyes made it clear.
Wen Li pretended not to see it, and when he tried to leave, he was pulled back. Unable to continue pretending to be blind, he said, "You still believe this?"
Lu Xixiao: "Believe it."
Wen Li: "If you want to go, go by yourself."
Lu Xixiao tugged at her sleeve.
The old lady said: "Go ahead. If you believe it, it will come true. If you don't believe it, it won't come true."
After hearing her grandmother's words that covered up for her, 'If you believe it, it exists; if you don't believe it, it doesn't exist', and remembering that she had clearly wanted to return the prize to Lu Xixiao but hadn't asked, Wen Li said to her grandmother, "I'll take him to see it. He's never seen these before."
She explained her behavior.
However, the old lady saw through everything.
"Go ahead. Little Jingyuan and I will be waiting for you here."
The stall selling marriage belts was right next to the tower, and the two of them did not leave Lu Jingyuan's sight. The stall owner was an octogenarian, and the words on the marriage belts were all handwritten by the old man.
When the stall owner saw the two, he couldn't help but praise them, saying that he had never seen such a well-matched couple, saying that they were a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven... He emptied his vocabulary.
Wen Lixin thought it was a good thing that grandma didn't come with her.
Lu Xixiao: "What do you want to write?"
Wen Li: "I don't want to."
Lu Xixiao, who knew Wen Li's character, did not force her. He asked for two marriage belts, borrowed pen and ink, and started writing.
Black Hair and Red Thread · Li
White Haired Promise - Owl
"..." Wen Li silently turned his eyes away, it was really unbearable to watch.
She told herself that older people like to do these things.
Please understand.
What's more, this is a person whose brain is taken over by love.
The old man was amazed by Lu Xixiao's calligraphy and felt inferior to him. He gave the two of them two lucky bags filled with red beans on the spot.
Lu Xixiao put away the lucky bag, took the marriage ribbon he had written by himself, and said to Wen Li: "Li Li, can you pay for it?"
Wen Li must be involved in their marriage.
Wen Li didn't think much about it and paid the money.
The two came under the marriage tree.
Lu Xixiao turned around and saw Wen Li standing outside the tree canopy and refusing to come over, so he went back to pull Wen Li. Under Lu Xixiao's persistence, Wen Li reluctantly accompanied him to tie the marriage belt.
Lu Xixiao smiled and said, "How about you sit on my shoulders and we tie it higher, higher and more stable than others."
Wen Li clicked his tongue: "Stop talking nonsense and hurry up."
Lu Xixiao was tall and had long legs, so he could tie the rope higher than others without any external help. He found a thick branch and reverently and seriously tied the two ropes of marriage together tightly.
Wen Li: "Calling you old-fashioned is not unfair to you."
Lu Xixiao spoke slowly to her, "Jingyuan was born in poor health. One time, I was at my wit's end, so I took him to the mountains to burn incense and worship Buddha. I fasted for half a year, and asked for a peace amulet for him. The old abbot also changed his name. After that, he really became much healthier. From then on, I began to believe it."
Wen Li curled his lips and said nothing more.
Lu Xixiao took out two lucky bags filled with red beans and gave one to Wen Li. If Wen Li didn't take it, he would just put it in Wen Li's pocket.
Lu Xixiao has proven time and again that as long as he persists and can withstand Wen Li's beatings, he will succeed in the end.
It was almost evening when we returned to the village.
Wen Li took off her coat as soon as she got home and felt the lucky bag in her pocket. She took it out, held it in her hand to look at it, and then put it away.
