Chapter 429 Don't Cry, Grandma. I'll Find Someone to Marry Right Now.
A few years ago, the old village chief repeatedly tried to match Uncle Deng and Dong Sanhua.
But Uncle Deng felt that he was not worthy of other girls.
He always said that he was married and had a child. Although he had completely cut off contact with his previous wife and children, he still felt that he could not take advantage of Dong Sanhua.
After all, Dong Sanhua was more than five years younger than him and was still an unmarried girl.
Not only was she beautiful, but she was also hardworking.
Heizi and other aspiring young people in Xiangyun Village liked her.
Uncle Deng always treated her as a brother and sister and took care of her everywhere.
Over time, Dong Sanhua fell in love with Uncle Deng first, and Granny Chen knew about it, so she acted as a matchmaker.
They were all from the same village, and after a few visits, they were both interested in each other, and the marriage was settled.
The old village chief was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
It happened that Xiangyun Village made a lot of money from loquat candy, and the old village chief even renovated an abandoned village house and turned it into a large courtyard with four rooms and two rooms as a wedding house for them to live in.
In order to show respect for Dong Sanhua, the old village chief paid a lot of betrothal gifts.
He bought gold and jewelry from Guangyang Town, and spent a lot of money without blinking an eye.
Knowing that Dong Sanhua's family was small, and feeling sorry for her, it would be very hard to do needlework by herself, the Deng family also sent an embroiderer to tailor a wedding dress for Dong Sanhua.
Dong Sanhua married from Grandma Qin's house. She had no family, and Grandma Qin was her last relative.
On the day of her wedding, according to custom, Dong Sanhua had to kneel down to her parents, but since she had no parents, she lifted her skirt and knelt down to Grandma Qin.
"Aunt, thank you and Ningning for your support and care for me. Without your help, I would not be alive today. Thank you."
She wiped her tears and kowtowed to Grandma Qin.
Grandma Qin pulled her up with red eyes: "Don't say that, we are a family. In the future, you will marry Jixiang and live a good life. If you are bullied, come back. There will always be a place for you here with your aunt."
Dong Sanhua nodded with tears in her eyes: "Yeah."
The matchmaker threw a handkerchief at the door and laughed loudly: "The groom is here to pick up the bride, my lady, please put on the veil!"
There was a loud gong and drum in the yard, and firecrackers rang out.
Every household in Xiangyun Village came to watch the wedding banquet, it was so lively.
Shen Ningning wore a festive red dress, with white skin and big eyes, and her black hair was tied into two small tufts. The little girl looked like a happy boy.
She ran with Hu Zi from Liu Dasao's family and the children from several other villages to ask for wedding candies.
"Grandma, look, I got a lot of candies." Shen Ningning ran back to Grandma Qin breathlessly, her little face flushed.
She spread her hands and held the wedding candies.
However, when she raised her watery eyes, she saw that Grandma Qin's eyes were filled with tears of emotion, looking at Dong Sanhua who was carried away by the groom.
"Grandma," Shen Ningning pulled her sleeves: "Don't be sad, Grandma Chen said that even if Aunt Sanhua got married, we are still in the same village and can see each other every day."
Grandma Qin wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and smiled helplessly, her silver hair became more dazzling.
"Ningning is so good, Grandma is not sad about your Aunt Sanhua's marriage, but thinking that Grandma may not see the day you get married."
She is old, although Lingquan water has the effect of helping people prolong their lives, but it will take seven or eight years for their Ningning to grow up.
I really don't know who her Ningning will marry in the end.
When she thought that she couldn't see her get married in person, Grandma Qin wiped more and more tears.
Shen Ningning was anxious and threw away the wedding candy.
"Don't cry, grandma, I'll get married soon, and I'll let you see it!" The little girl didn't understand the true meaning of getting married.
She just thought it was fun and lively, like Aunt Sanhua and Uncle Deng, choosing someone with a good relationship, everyone playing music, talking and laughing, that's getting married.
Since grandma wants to see it, she'll find someone to get married!
Grandma Qin was amused by her childish words: "How can I be so careless? I have to wait until you grow up before considering it."
Shen Ningning pouted: "I don't want to grow up, I want to get married now, three hundred times, so that grandma can have a lively day every day!"
"Oh! My good Ningning, you are really..." Grandma Qin hugged the little girl and couldn't help laughing, not knowing what to say.
"Let's go, let's go to your grandfather Deng's house first to see if their wedding is lively."
Grandma Qin took Shen Ningning's little hand and just walked out of the yard.
Suddenly, Shen Ningning saw the black wolf king and the wolf pack, all of them were alert with their ears erected, their hairs stood up, and they looked around warily.
"You go back to the house." The Black Wolf King reminded Shen Ningning, as if he was facing a great enemy.
Shen Ningning wondered: "What happened?"
As soon as the little girl finished speaking, she heard a buzzing sound in the sky not far away.
Grandma Qin was shocked and pointed to the distance: "What is that!"
Shen Ningning looked up and saw a large group of UFOs flying quickly towards Xiangyun Village.
The little girl frowned, and before she could take a closer look, the group of things had already flown over Xiangyun Village.
The Black Wolf King suddenly pushed Shen Ningning and Grandma Qin into the house with his claws.
The wolves blocked the door.
The "buzzing" sound seemed to shake the earth, and the blue sky was instantly covered by this group of flying things.
The momentum of covering the sky and the sun made Shen Ningning stare with water eyes in astonishment, and her little hand tightly grabbed Grandma Qin's clothes.
"It's locusts!" Grandma Qin identified them clearly, and her usually calm tone couldn't help but show panic.
When she was a child, she had encountered locusts passing through her territory. They flew over like a huge dark cloud.
Wherever they went, no grass grew.
The people attending the wedding banquet in Xiangyun Village also reacted, and shouts rang out in the village one after another-
"It's locusts! Locusts are coming!"
"Quick, protect our loquat trees!"
Everyone hurriedly returned to their homes, and those who had planted fields rushed to the fields.
Even Dong Sanhua and Uncle Deng, two newlyweds who were halfway through their wedding, hurriedly dropped their red silk and veil to save their own loquat trees.
Shen Ningning and Grandma Qin hid in the house, and the wolves guarded the door. The locusts were eaten by the wolves as soon as they approached. Soon, the locusts changed direction and went to all directions of Xiangyun Village.
It was not until half an hour later that the people of Xiangyun Village worked together to drive away the locusts. They watched them fly eastward and go to the next village to cause trouble.
The villagers were panting and didn't care about anything else. They went to check the losses.
Some people's newly harvested loquats were gnawed and riddled with holes, and even the green leaves were pulled off.
Not to mention the crops in the fields, the rice and wheat were terrible. The fields were in a mess, as if bandits had passed by, and there was no grass.
"God damn locusts, they ate so much of our food. We've only had a few days of good life, why did they come again? God, what do you want to do!!"
Sister-in-law Liu fell to the ground crying and beating her chest.
Xiangyun Village was severely affected by the disaster. Soon, three or four days later, the capital and the villages and towns around the capital were poisoned by locusts.
Then, with the governors of other states and counties rushing to report eight hundred miles away, locusts ate food everywhere in Cangyun State.
Cangyun State, which had just taken a five-year break from the disaster, had just solved the problem of not starving everyone, but unexpectedly, locusts came again.
The emperor completely collapsed.
