Huo's mother arranged the family's eldest and youngest children, and she had five older brothers.

After introducing her uncle, Huo's mother introduced her five aunts and cousins.

It took quite a while just to introduce ourselves and chat about family matters.

Jiang Si greeted everyone one by one.

In fact, in addition to five brothers, Huo's mother also has a twin sister.

"Your aunt married far away, in Chengdu."

Mother Huo explained: "Her daughter-in-law is still in confinement, so she can't come back to attend your wedding. By the way, come with me."

Before Jiang Si could react, she was pulled into the room by Huo's mother.

Huo Tingzhou originally wanted to follow, but Huo's mother stopped him outside the door.

"There are so many people outside, go and entertain them quickly, why are you following us?"

Seeing that he wanted to say something, he said directly, "Don't ask about women's affairs!"

After saying that, he closed the door with a bang.

Just when Jiang Si was lamenting the worrying status of Huo Tingzhou's family, Huo's mother took out a box from the wardrobe.

Considering that they have been stuffing food into her mouth from time to time during this period of time, Jiang Si has almost developed a conditioned reflex to do so.

And she remembered very clearly that it was this box that her mother-in-law took when they divided the family property last time.

Sure enough, when the box was opened, there was a thick stack of red envelopes inside.

"These are the red envelopes you received for the wedding banquet. We have already recorded the gift account. Please keep these."

Jiang Si quickly pushed it back when she heard it, "Mom, Azhou and I don't really understand the human relations, and we rarely come back."

"Keep these for yourself. If someone has a wedding in the future, you can go back for us."

Fearing that her mother-in-law might worry, Jiang Si added, "You don't have to worry about us. We have enough money."

"Mom knows you don't lack money, but what you have is yours."

Seeing that Jiang Si didn't answer for a long time, Huo's mother stuffed the box directly into her arms.

"These are not just gifts, but also blessings from everyone to you."

"Take it. When your second brother and fourth brother got married, the gift money was given to them..."

“Knock knock knock—”

There was a sudden knock on the door, interrupting the conversation between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law.

It was Huo Yu's voice: "Yue Ling, it's almost eleven o'clock, should we go to the auditorium first?"

"Got it, I'll be there right away."

Mother Huo responded and quickly took out a thick coat from the closet and put it on.

"Sisi, we'll go to the auditorium first. You go back to your room and rest for a while. We'll be there in half an hour."

Jiang Si also stood up: "Mom, let's go together."

After all, today is the day she and Huo Tingzhou are having a wedding, so it would not be nice to go late.

Mrs. Huo did not object. "Then go back to your room and put on more clothes. There is no heating in the auditorium. Don't catch a cold."

Jiang Si nodded, "I understand, Mom."

I went back to my room, put the red envelope away, and put on another sweater.

After thinking about it, Jiang Si took out the badge that the Ministry of State Security had sent her last time and pinned it on the most conspicuous place on her chest.

When she went downstairs, she saw Huo Tingzhou trying to carry her out again.

Jiang Si shook her head at him and said, "Go ahead."

Knowing what Huo Tingzhou wanted to say, Jiang Si stepped forward, held his hand tightly, and then shook it.

"This is called holding your hand and growing old together. Isn't it better than you carrying me out?"

Huo Tingzhou was speechless because everything she said was right.

After a while, he said, "Okay, I'll do as you say!"
