511: Chapter 511: Is This a Traditional Custom?

In a mix of flirtation and squabbling, it took half an hour to finish the late-night snack.

Taking advantage of Wu Jie washing the dishes, Tang Xiao made a hasty retreat.

Because if she didn’t flee now, she might not be able to escape at all.

Back and forth, she moved backpacks and gift boxes from the living room to the bridal room.

Just when there was only one gift box left, the crisp sound of the doorbell echoed from the living room.

Ding-dong!

Ding-dong!

“Who is it?”

Tang Xiao set down the gift box and instinctively went to open the door.

“Don’t go!”

Wu Jie darted out of the kitchen, shaking his head at Tang Xiao and whispered urgently,

“It can’t be mom and dad, and it won’t be the building management; the only possibility is troublemakers!”

Tang Xiao exclaimed in astonishment, “Then how did they get into the neighborhood?”

“How would I know?

Just don’t open the door no matter what!”

After issuing the warning, Wu Jie returned to finish the dishes.

At the door.

Ding-dong!

Ding-dong!

After two doorbell rings, there came a loud knocking on the door.

Tang Xiao picked up the gift box, pretending not to hear, and prepared to take it back to the bridal room.

Unexpectedly…

The ringtone of her phone suddenly blared!

And it was loud!

Tang Xiao put down the gift box and hurriedly took out her phone to turn it off.

Alas…

“Xiao!

Open the door!”

“Hurry up and open it!

I know you’re at home!

Quick!”

“Open the door quickly, we have something important to discuss with you!”

Through the door, the shouting voices of three aunts could be heard.

Tang Xiao hesitated.

To open the door…

They were certainly there to cause trouble; she didn’t know what would happen, but surely there would be no peace.

To not open the door…

After all, they were her elders!

Forget it, they had come all this way, and it would be rude not to open the door on such a joyous occasion.

Turning toward the door, Tang Xiao glanced at the monitor, then reached out to unlock it.

“Don’t…”

Just as Wu Jie emerged from the kitchen and was about to shout, Tang Xiao already opened the door.

“Haha!

Sister, are you done that quickly?”

Hearing the voice of the crazy girl Tang Xin, Wu Jie instantly leaned against the wall, his head hitting the door.

Tragedy!

Seeing Tang Xin and the three aunts rush in…

Wu Jie truly felt like picking up a kitchen knife to drive them out!

Freakin’ heck!

Can’t they just let me enjoy tonight?

This sweet two-person world had only been peaceful and romantic for an hour or so!

Irritated, Wu Jie turned around, pretending not to see or hear anything, and returned to the kitchen to finish washing the remaining dishes and cutlery.

“Is there any white radish in the kitchen?

Do you have any meat fit for offerings?”

While speaking, Aunt He Hui came into the kitchen.

Seeing Wu Jie washing dishes, she burst into laughter.

“Jie, weren’t you drunk?

Did you and your wife sneak back because you didn’t like the dinner at the banquet?”

Bombarded with questions, Wu Jie didn’t feel like explaining.

He looked up, squeezing out a forced smile.

Questions, questions, so many damn questions!

Didn’t I just want to slip away and avoid all of you troublemakers?

Thus…

At that moment, Wu Jie’s face was all smiles, but his heart was cursed.

He was lucky to have the patience not to pick up a knife and drive them out, considering it a favor!

“Don’t worry!

We’re not here to cause a commotion; we have legitimate business to attend to!”

“You young people these days are so preoccupied with such matters, you definitely don’t understand some of the rules!”

As He Hui lectured, she took a slab of fat meat and some fruit out of the refrigerator and arranged them on a plate.

She also cut a piece of white radish and split it into two halves.

“Don’t just stand there gawking, hurry up and finish cleaning, then come out with us!”

With a shout, He Hui took the items and left.

Wu Jie was somewhat baffled.

Bedding…

Is all this really necessary?

After quickly tidying up the kitchen, Wu Jie turned off the lights, stepped out, and made his way to the living room.

“Jie, hurry up and wash up and take a bath!

Xiao has already gone, and we’ll be offering incense shortly!”

Tang Xin called out loudly.

Wu Jie was even more confused.

What kind of tradition was this?

On our wedding night, we’re expected to worship ancestors?

Zhang Yu and Sun Mei, who were moving the coffee table to use it as an altar, couldn’t help laughing at Wu Jie’s bewildered expression.

“Hey!

What are you spacing out for, kid?

Save some time!”

“Exactly!

Time is worth its weight in gold tonight!

Hurry and go bathe and change your clothes!”

Wu Jie uttered a couple of grunts, then headed back to the wedding room to grab his change of clothes and prepare for a bath.

Unfortunately…

Tang Xiao had ‘occupied’ the master bedroom’s bathroom, even though the sound of water was whooshing, Wu Jie knocked and called out with no response.

Seems like she’s still very shy!

No choice!

Wu Jie had to go to the gym’s bathroom to wash up and bathe.

By the time he returned to the living room, the offering table had already been arranged.

The table was set with offerings, and two large red candles were lit on either side.

Two sofa cushions were placed on the ground, with Tang Xiao kneeling on the left, earnestly praying.

“On the wedding night, it’s essential to worship the ancestors, light incense candles, and ask for the ancestors’ blessings!”

Zhang Yu said, handing Wu Jie three sticks of incense, “Hurry up and pay your respects to the old ancestors!”

Wu Jie didn’t dare to delay, he paid homage with three kowtows and nine bows, then knelt on the cushion.

It was appropriate to worship the ancestors on your wedding.

Wu Jie planned to do it next weekend back in his hometown.

Since the bride’s family also had this arrangement, naturally, he should follow suit.

“You need to silently thank the matchmaker god in your heart for granting you this marriage bond and pray for your ancestors to bless you with happiness and fulfillment!”

Aunt He Hui reminded in a soft voice.

Wu Jie and Tang Xiao put their hands together in prayer and bowed their heads, silently praying.

After a while, Zhang Yu shouted:

“That’s enough!

Go back to your room!”

Wu Jie opened his eyes and helped Tang Xiao to her feet.

She had specially worn a bright red nightgown for tonight.

Wu Jie’s was the same, making him look like some ancient bridegroom.

Going to the wedding room…

could there be more customs to follow?

Upon their arrival.

Wu Jie was shocked to find that the big red bedspread was scattered with lots of dates, longans, and lotus seeds.

Tang Xin stood on the side, grinning mischievously with a look of impish glee.

“What does this mean?” Tang Xiao asked in a low voice, her face flushed.

“Don’t you know?” Sun Mei laughed, “It symbolizes the hope for early childbirth!

Don’t just stand there, lie down and roll over twice!”

Ah???

Tang Xiao was left dumbfounded.

“Sis, now you know what rolling in the sheets is about, right?” Tang Xin asked teasingly.

Wu Jie didn’t hesitate.

Every single minute tonight is precious!

What’s there to dawdle over?

Taking Tang Xiao by the hand, the two of them went to the bed.

Glaring at Tang Xin not far away, recording with her phone, Wu Jie felt Tang Xiao’s extreme nervousness, her palms were sweating.

“Don’t be nervous!

Respect the tradition, just lie down and roll twice to signify the gesture and that’s it!”

“No way!”

Zhang Yu walked over, pushed Wu Jie until he lay on the bed.

Then she turned Tang Xiao around to face Wu Jie and pushed her down too.

“Hold on to your wife, and you both must roll from the foot of the bed to the head, and then roll back again!”

Rolling over!

Round and round!

After rolling there and back again, Tang Xiao was already blushing.

Helping Tang Xiao to her feet, Wu Jie asked with a smile:

“Auntie’s holding a bottle and glasses of wine, do we still need to drink the bridal cup of wine?”

“Yes, we do!”

He Hui handed the glasses to Zhang Yu and Sun Mei, then picked up the bottle of red wine and began to pour it liberally.

“Come on!

After drinking this bridal cup, you two will join hands for a lifetime!”

“Deep affection, chug it down!

Light affection, just a sip!

It’s up to you two!”

The two glasses of wine were handed to Wu Jie and Tang Xiao, respectively.

They had already drunk at the wedding at noon.

So naturally, they just stood facing each other.

Wu Jie’s gaze tenderly met Tang Xiao’s, his eyes clear and moving, filled with gentle and sweet love.

Smiling at each other, Tang Xiao delicately sipped through her red lips, lifting her wrist high.

Wu Jie wrapped his hand around Tang Xiao’s arm, admiring her bashful demeanor, and gulped down the red wine.

Beauty like jade, red wine like fire!

Tonight’s bridal cup indeed carries more profound affection than the one during the wedding ceremony!

“Wow!

Not bad!

You actually managed to drink it all without a drop left!”

Taking away the two glasses, Zhang Yu laughed playfully, “Now that the formalities are done, let’s officially start game time!”

Game time?

Holy shit!!!

Wu Jie’s heart raced with a million tractors barreling through.

It’s fine to respect traditions, but can we not cause a fuss?

It’s already half past nine.

Time tonight is worth a fortune, and I’ve already lost a hefty sum.

And Tang Xiao was also somewhat bewildered.

Although she knew that they wouldn’t let it go easily after they came.

But if they really made a fuss…

how embarrassing that would be!
