After lunch, the kitchen was bustling with preparations for the evening feast, and the new room was also lively, just waiting for the bride to enter.
The Cai Family, everywhere was filled with lively joy.
A little after three in the afternoon, the bride arrived in a red dress, making the Cai Family even more lively. Xu Nianhua joined in on the fun to see the bride. Nowadays, the makeup is very simple, with hair neatly braided and adorned with one or a few red flowers. Yet, the bride looked bashfully beautiful.
"Brother Cai Feng is lucky, the bride is very beautiful," Xu Nianhua remarked.
Cai Xiu, standing nearby, said, "Indeed, my sister-in-law is really nice, my big brother is truly fortunate."
Cai Xiu silently glanced at Xu Nianhua. Today, Xu Nianhua wore a black and white coat, black pants that made her legs look long and slender, black leather shoes, and her hair in a ponytail. She looked young and beautiful, not like someone from the village at all.
It was fortunate that big brother came around, otherwise, where would he have this sister-in-law now?
Cai Xiu was young, but she understood clearly that Nianhua and her big brother wouldn’t match, not because she looked down on her brother, but because Nianhua was too outstanding. The two of them couldn’t possibly end up together. It’s said that Nianhua’s partner is the owner of a chili sauce business, the one who used to limp. Later, she saw them standing together; they truly looked like a perfect couple made for each other.
"Looks like next year Xiuxiu could become an aunt," Xu Nianhua said with a smile, knowing that Cai Xiu was busy and needed to spend more time with the bride. After watching for a while, Xu Nianhua took her nephew to play.
The liveliness at the Cai Family lasted until deep into the night.
"Mom and Dad, there’s something forgotten, this is from Auntie Jiang’s daughter-in-law, Sister Manyin made these for you," Xu Nianhua remembered when packing up things, that Fang Manyin had brought clothes for her parents.
"These clothes are just too beautiful," Ji Ying admired the clothes, hesitating to touch them, they looked so well made.
Xu Nianhua explained, "Sister Manyin makes clothes herself, and her clothes sell really well. I find them both warm and beautiful."
"The Su Family is really good to you!" Ji Ying knew well that it was because of Xu Nianhua that the Su Family made clothes for the two of them, otherwise, why would someone make clothes for people they haven’t even met?
Isn’t it because they like Nianhua?
"Sister Manyin did it because of Hongen, the little boy with autism I mentioned before. Now he can talk, and he even calls me ’auntie.’ He’s really very cute," Xu Nianhua explained why Fang Manyin sent clothes.
Ji Ying reminded, "Don’t just take everything, we should be good to them since they’ve been good to us."
"Got it," Xu Nianhua playfully stuck out her tongue. She urged Ji Ying to try on the clothes, and indeed, the sizes were very accurate. The clothes fit Ji Ying perfectly as if they were tailored for her.
"Is anyone there?"
Outside, a strange female voice suddenly called out, and Xu Nianhua thought she might have misheard.
"Is this Xu Nianhua’s home?"
The unfamiliar female voice sounded again. Xu Nianhua walked out with curiosity and upon seeing the girl standing at the door, she was taken aback. She recognized this girl; she had said that Liunian’s perfume was good during a movie outing in the summer. She remembered, this girl had a particularly sweet smile.
