“Completed + Extra Stories (Rebirth, Revenge, ‘Chasing Wife at the Crematorium’, Second Male Lead Wins)”
In her previous life, when her son and the son of her husband’s comrade’s ...
Chapter 380 Did you just say you loved me while holding a loud speaker?
Jiang Yi looked at him without blinking.
This guy looks really handsome in military uniform, more imposing than usual.
She suddenly thought of the military families' dinner more than ten years later. She passed him by that night and he was wearing a military uniform.
But at that time she wanted to escape from the scene, so she left in a hurry and did not look closely. She only felt the aura at that moment, rushing towards her, which was very similar to now.
If she had stopped for a few seconds and looked carefully, would the ending have been different?
But there are no ifs in this world.
I don’t know if it was because of the sun or something, but her face was very hot.
Nie Can did not answer the question immediately. He also looked at her with deep eyes, "Did you just say you loved me through the loudspeaker? In front of so many people."
There must be more people today than when she was at the camp gate.
Jiang Yi looked at his smug look, almost wagging his tail. People are like this, when their blood is boiling, they dare to do anything, but when they calm down, they just want to hide underground.
"Say it to me again tonight." The man lowered his head slightly and whispered in her ear.
"I don't want to." Jiang Yi's face looked like a cooked shrimp.
Thinking of last night, her waist and legs felt weak.
A few cars drove in from behind, and Yao's cousins all stuck their heads out and said, "Cousin, you are awesome, even more handsome than your brother."
Jiang Yi was stunned for a moment, "You are——"
"They are from grandma's family. Grandma has an older brother and three younger brothers. These are their grandchildren. The Nie family and the Yao family have always had a good relationship. They insisted on coming to see you."
Jiang Yi smiled and greeted them, "Hello."
At a glance, there were so many cars! How many cousins were sitting in them? She turned around and pinched Nie Can's palm, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? My house is not spacious enough to accommodate so many people."
Nie Can grinned and said, "Let them stand outside the door."
He added, "I haven't made up my mind about the question just now. I came here wearing this outfit today because I want you to marry a decent man, but I can retire at any time."
Jiang Yi thought, no wonder the leader said he was looking forward to his return, it turns out he hasn’t fully returned yet.
There were many people and many things to do at this time, so Jiang Yi said, "We'll discuss this issue later."
The Jiang family was stunned to see so many people coming!
Not only the Yao brothers, but also Chief Nie came.
Xu Cuilian changed her clothes and came out, apologizing to Grandma Nie and Zhang Mingming, saying that the house was too small. Grandma Nie said it didn't matter, as a narrower house would be more lively.
There was not enough room for so many people to sit in the house, so the Yao brothers and Fu Jiabao stood outside the door and sat on the stairs without any airs.
Fu Jiabao was really enlightened today.
First, the eldest brother’s wife said into the loudspeaker that she loved him, which was so adorable.
Secondly, this group of young people is also fun.
Seeing the handsome young men outside the door, the Jiang family's little sisters were scared.
The Jiang family has good genes for appearance. The younger sisters are not dark-skinned, and some are cute or pretty. However, they have not seen the world. When they saw so many boys from the provincial capital, they all shyly covered their mouths and smiled.
A group of handsome boys and girls.
Neighbors passing by couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Inside the room, the betrothal ceremony was in progress.
Grandma Nie sat on the innermost single wooden sofa chair, looking like an old lady. Nie Xinghua sat on the long sofa against the wall, next to Zhang Mingming, because they were Nie Can's parents.
There was another person sitting next to Zhang Mingming, and that was Nie Xingyi.
But he didn't know if it was an illusion, but Nie Xingyi felt that his elder brother's occasional glances at him were a little cold, making him feel very uncomfortable.
Opposite the three of them, across a coffee table, were Xu Cuilian and Jiang Yang. The eldest brother is like a father. The eldest sister-in-law was next to them.
In the past, there were two uncles and an aunt.
Jiang Yi and Nie Can had no place to sit, so they stood by the door. The two children were running around them, laughing.
As for Jiang Yao, she helped Pan Qiang to go to the next building to rest, because Pan Qiang suddenly said his legs hurt after getting off the car.
At this time, betrothal gifts were carried in baskets and baskets.
There are too many to put them.
"Grandma, this is too much." Xu Cuilian said in shock.
In the wealthy families of Yuncheng, the gift money is about a few hundred yuan, four major items such as a TV and a tape recorder, a load of rice, half a basket of pork, two chickens, some dried vegetables, and a gold bracelet is considered a big deal.
The gift money, rice and meat are given to the bride's family to entertain the bride's relatives on the wedding day.
This is the treatment for a newlywed.
The man's family pays less attention to a remarried woman. Some even skip the betrothal gift and take her home directly without a wedding banquet. Even if a wedding banquet is held, it is treated differently from a newlywed bride.
Many steps will be omitted.
Grandma Nie smiled and said, "This is what our Can'er wanted. He said he would give Jiang Yi a grand wedding."
As she spoke, Old Lady Nie showed the betrothal gift list to her mother-in-law. It was folded up and when unfolded it was half a meter long!
Two courtyards in Beicheng, eight shops in Suicheng, and more than 30 acres of land in Liede were given to Jiang Yi.
The gift money was 180,000 yuan, and there were eight baskets each of wedding cakes and candies, as well as eight baskets each of dried scallops, dried shrimps, fish maw, dried oysters and abalone.
Eight live chickens (in a cage outside the door), eight dan each of pork and beef.
One hundred and eighty bottles of white wine, red wine, etc., one hundred and eighty cartons of Zhonghua cigarettes...
Red cloth, flowered cloth, silk, couplets, the Chinese character for "囍", as well as porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, were all in units of eight. These were controlled by the Jiang family.
Xu Cuilian had difficulty breathing and felt that she needed to take two more heart pills.
My sister-in-law has seen some of the world, and her heart started pounding when she saw it.
The two uncles and aunts were stunned. Such a generous betrothal gift was simply unheard of.
Jiang Yi was also thinking: This is too exaggerated.
This is not the betrothal gift from the 1980s; it is something only wealthy families in later generations could have.
"There's more." Grandma Nie smiled and opened a box. Inside was a pair of jade bracelets. Even people who didn't know jade could tell at a glance that they were good things. The jade was bright green without any impurities or cotton wool, and it was delicate and moist.
Grandma also gave Jiang Yi a jade bracelet before, but it was not as noble as this pair.
"This is our family's ancestral jade bracelet. Yiyi, come here."
Grandma Nie put two jade bracelets on Jiang Yi's hands.
It was so heavy that Jiang Yi's eyes felt a little hot. "Thank you, grandma."
Her wrists were white, and the two bracelets made them look even more crystal clear, which in turn made her hands look particularly beautiful.
Nie Can's gaze fell on her wrist, and his eyes deepened.
Suddenly I felt a little hot.
Jiang Yang was completely speechless. He might have to overturn the dowry he had planned to give to Jiang Yi last night.
It took Grandma Nie's housekeeper Zhou nearly an hour to read out the items on the gift list to the in-laws one by one.
The weather was cool, but the Jiang family members were sweating because they were excited or something.
"Okay." Zhang Mingming was also sweating from the scent of the person next to him. This person is already old, but he still tries to imitate others and smells good, but it doesn't look like perfume.
Maybe incense or something?
She moved towards Nie Xingyi and asked, "When do you plan to hold the wedding?"
Nie Xingyi sat there without moving, and said with a smile: "Then we must find a master to calculate it."
Nie Xinghua glanced at him coldly.
For some reason, Nie Er's heart trembled. Did his elder brother think he was superstitious? So he gave him a warning with his eyes?
Nie Xingyi quickly laughed again, "Young people have no taboos, they can do it any day they like."
"Of course we have to choose a good day. We can't disobey our ancestors' words." Old Mrs. Nie doesn't care about materialism.
Nie Can smiled, "December 13th and 15th are good dates. First, I have some work to hand over, and second,..." He looked at Jiang Yi, "It should be snowing in the North City."
Jiang Yi suddenly remembered that he said the Forbidden City would be best viewed in winter.
It's like a stone has been thrown into the lake of my heart, causing ripples to appear in circles.
"That's fine with me." She looked at him, unable to look away again.
The looks in their eyes were so disgusting that no one could bear to watch.
Jiang Yang was relieved, but also a little jealous. "Go to North City for the wedding?"
"We'll hold one in Yuncheng and one in Beicheng. What do you think?" Nie Can smiled at his comrades, "Number 13 in Yuncheng and number 15 in Beicheng. That way, mom, eldest brother, second uncle and third uncle's families can go together."
Of course, the Jiang family had no objection to such a thoughtful arrangement.
Grandma Nie smiled happily, "The one in North City is just the right time to reveal Can Ge'er's identity, so that's it. Time is quite tight, there is less than a month left, and there are many things to prepare..."
Xu Cuilian was still in shock, and she said yes to whatever her grandmother-in-law said.
The betrothal gift was finally completed, and the eldest sister-in-law invited everyone to have dinner in the teahouse. She had asked the chef to prepare the food in advance.
Because the Nie family would not stay overnight, they did not book a hotel.
In the teahouse, the teachers brought by Principal Wen also came in handy, distributing eggs and wedding candies to the old ladies.
It took more than an hour to send.
The eggs and candies in the vicinity were all swept away, and the old ladies left with smiles saying things like "May you have a long-lasting marriage" and "May you have a son soon". The teahouse was more lively than ever before.
The owners and managers of the state-owned restaurant across the street, and the pickled fish and Shuangwaiwai chicken restaurants next door are all sour. This boss Jiang has many tricks up his sleeve.
Even marriages are not spared, just to create some hype.
"Look, Nie Can and Jiang Yi are here!"
Although today is the day of the betrothal ceremony, the eldest sister-in-law said it was also a happy day, so she asked Zheng Lili and Xiao Ma to prepare firecrackers and set them off as soon as the guests arrived.
The sound of firecrackers popped throughout the street.
Zhou Chunmei, Qiu Xiao, and a few other ladies were eating at a state-owned restaurant and happened to see it.
Qiu Xiao snorted, "What's so great about that?"
Zhou Chunmei said, "You still feel uncomfortable. Forget it. He has powerful backers now. We can't afford to offend him."
Last night, Old Qiu told her about Nie Can's background, which scared her so much that she couldn't sleep the whole night.
"Mom, do I need to be so hard on her? I'm wondering if I should annoy others."
Qiu Xiao felt jealous, but she was sure there were people who felt even more jealous than her.
