Riding the wind of rebirth

Half of the people who stayed for the second meal were closer relatives and friends of the two families. Since many of the Yang family's relatives came from Baimi Township, they had to count the number of people staying overnight and arrange breakfast for tomorrow morning.

It was not until the dinner that the bride and groom, best men and bridesmaids had the chance to sit down and have a good meal, and the wedding banquet was considered to be fully prepared.

After Mai Xiaomiao's excitement wore off, she found herself tired and sleepy. She fell asleep leaning on Zhou Zhi before finishing her dinner.

Zhou Zhi also found it funny. This little girl stayed up for half the night while visiting the ghost market, and then she was running all the way. She didn't have a good rest every night, and she relied on all kinds of new and interesting things to stay excited. Now she finally couldn't bear it anymore.

My mother came over and asked softly, "Xiao Miao, what's going on..."

"I fell asleep." Zhou Zhi whispered, "I haven't had a good rest these past few days. I'm so tired today."

"You can't sleep here either! Go upstairs! Be careful not to catch a cold!"

"She just fell asleep..."

"You can't recite it? You're such a fool." Mom threw a room card at me and said, "Go!"

Feng Xueshan and Yang He, who were eating at the same table, couldn't help but laugh secretly.

Zhou Zhi didn't want to argue with his mother in such an occasion, so he took the room card and whispered in Mai Xiaomiao's ear: "Xiao Miao, go back to your room and sleep."

"Yeah." Mai Xiaomiao still closed her eyes, but put her arms around Zhou Zhi's neck.

Zhou Zhi had no choice but to adjust Mai Xiaomiao's position and carried her on his back. Feng Xueshan picked some stewed dishes and pastries from the table and packed a food bag: "Take the elbow. If Xiao Miao wakes up and feels hungry, she can use it to support herself."

Zhou Zhi stood up and opened his mouth. Feng Xueshan hung the handle of the plastic bag on Zhou Zhi's mouth and almost laughed to death.

The mother was so angry that she slapped Zhou Zhi on the thigh and said, "You are still so dishonest!"

Because Licheng Hotel is the hotel that Sister Xiao Juaner uses to receive clients, its main feature is to make guests feel at home. Not only are the rooms very large, but the furnishings inside are also designed a bit like a family room. There is a floor-to-ceiling window facing the river, as well as a small sofa and a small coffee table. It is a very cozy design.

Zhou Zhi gently put Mai Xiaomiao on the bed, took off her shoes and coat, removed her headdress, and pulled up the quilt to cover her.

Anyway, the weather is cold and you have long underwear under your clothes, so you don’t have to worry about exposing yourself.

Getting married is too tiring. Even the best man and bridesmaid are exhausted. After settling Mai Xiaomiao down, Zhou Zhi leaned on another bed and soon felt sleepy.

These days he was worried no less than Mai Xiaomiao and even drove for half the night. Now he slid down, wrapped himself in the quilt and fell asleep.

I slept until dawn. I forgot to draw the curtains before going to bed yesterday. The light coming out when the sun rises will wake me up naturally.

"Elbow!" When Zhou Zhi opened his eyes, he saw Mai Xiaomiao on the other bed opposite him, wrapped in a quilt with only a pair of eyes showing: "Are you awake?"

"Good morning, Xiao Miao." Zhou Zhi said with a smile.

"where is this?"

"Licheng Hotel, where Monk Xueshan held the banquet yesterday."

"Then why are we here?"

"You fell asleep during dinner yesterday." Zhou Zhi found it funny when he thought about it: "So I brought you up here."

"Then why didn't I know?"

"Because you were asleep the whole time." Zhou Zhi teased, "You weren't asleep the whole time. You even made a few noises when I was taking off your clothes."

“Hehehe…” Mai Xiaomiao didn’t feel ashamed, but asked Zhou Zhi: “You didn’t do anything bad to me, did you?”

"I want to do something bad to you, why do I have to wait until today?"

"That's right, so what do we do now?"

"Wake up, what else can you do?"

"Then go to the bathroom first and let me put on my clothes." "You didn't care when I took them off, but you care when I put them on?" Although he said that, Zhou Zhi still got up and walked towards the bathroom.

"You're cheating, you bastard!"

"What?"

"You haven't even taken off your clothes!"

"I was so tired after taking it off for you that I went straight to sleep!" Zhou Zhi was speechless: "You have to compare this?!"

He found a disposable toothbrush in the bathroom and squeezed toothpaste on Mai Xiaomiao. Zhou Zhi brushed his teeth and washed his face, then opened the door and asked, "Are you dressed?"

"Okay!" Mai Xiaomiao ran over and pushed Zhou Zhi out.

Zhou Zhi poured mineral water into the kettle and brought it to a boil, then took out two bags of instant coffee and brewed them, then moved the small sofa around and sat down facing the river view outside.

After a long while, Mai Xiaomiao came out of the bathroom with wet hair. It seemed that she did not comb her hair before going to bed last night, so it became messy in the morning and she had to fix it.

"That won't work." Zhou Zhi said, "You have to blow dry your hair, or you'll catch a cold."

“Then you come.” Mai Xiaomiao sat on the sofa where Zhou Zhi had just sat and picked up the coffee: “The scenery in Jiachuan is really beautiful.”

"The sunrise is best viewed in the summer." Zhou Zhi took out a hair dryer and plugged it in, and blew Mai Xiaomiao's hair. "But the humidity in Jiachuan is too high. It's hot and humid in the summer, and cold and humid in the winter."

"It's best to come in spring or autumn."

"But we have lychees in the summer and grapefruits in the winter, but we can't have them in the spring and autumn. Come on, let's go downstairs and have breakfast."

"Will uncle and aunt think we are too casual? You said Jiachuan is very conservative."

Zhou Zhi almost died of laughter. You didn't even know that the room card was given by your mother. He comforted her, "No, they have already known you in the video call, and they believe in their son's character."

"Besides, they went back to Manzhou yesterday. After we finish eating and visit Xiaoyong and my aunt, we should go visit my fourth cousin and my aunt's mother."

"You have so many relatives." Mai Xiaomiao said with emotion.

"Hahaha, after visiting our fourth cousin and aunt, we'll go to Rongshan to visit our eldest aunt, and to Dajing Township to visit our fifth uncle and youngest uncle."

"My fifth uncle has some good radish seeds at home. Let's take some to Lianhe Township."

"Where are Yang He and Xue Shan? Are they going with us?"

"We don't need to worry about what they want to do," Zhou Zhi tied up Mai Xiaomiao's hair. "They still have a lot of follow-up things to do. They will probably have to hold another banquet in Baimi Township in a few days, and then they will start their honeymoon."

"It's a pity that we are too busy. The research team sent by the navy uncle is still waiting in Shudu. We have to go back and take care of this matter. We can go to Lianhe Township after it is settled." Zhou Zhi said: "I will take you to Jiachuan next time when we have the chance."

"It doesn't matter. Business is more important." Mai Xiaomiao was quite generous.

When they arrived at the restaurant downstairs, Feng Xueshan had already fulfilled her duties as the head daughter-in-law of the house, greeting the relatives of the Yang family who did not return home last night.

"Elbow, are you guys up?" Feng Xueshan changed into a light purple woolen coat and put on light makeup, letting the villagers see how beautiful and elegant the daughter-in-law the old Yang family had married was. "Xiao Miao must be hungry. She fell asleep while eating last night. Hurry up and have breakfast."

"Take it easy, too." Zhou Zhi whispered, "Don't push yourself too hard."

"I know." Feng Xueshan also whispered, "Just deal with it this morning and it'll be over."

"We will not care about you from now on." Zhou Zhi reported his itinerary: "After visiting my uncle, my eldest uncle, my fifth uncle and my youngest uncle, we will return to Manzhou."

At this time, Old Yang and his mother came over. Old Yang took out two thick red packets from his pocket and said, "Xiao Miao, Elbow, thank you for your hard work."

"It's my duty," Zhou Zhi took the red envelope with a smile: "Thank you, old man, thank you, auntie, we also want to share in the joy of Yang He and Xue Shan." (End of this chapter)
