Guan Yurong was startled and her heartbeat accelerated, but then she quickly calmed down.
She observed the expressions of Xu Nuannuan and Old Lady Guan and said, "I, I really don't look much like my mother."
"Not only do you look nothing like me, you don't look much like your father either," said Mrs. Guan. "There aren't many children in this world who look exactly like their grandparents. Most people don't look much like their grandparents."
When Guan Yurong heard the first sentence that Old Madam Guan said, her heart started beating wildly again. What she feared most now was that someone would say that she did not look alike Old Madam Guan or Old Master Guan.
"Mom, you're right. The older you are, the spicier you are. You're much more knowledgeable than I am."
Seeing that she couldn't get any more out of Xu Nuannuan, she stood up and said goodbye.
After Xu Nuannuan and Old Lady Guan went out, they met Qin Xianglian not far away.
Qin Xianglian was a gossip-loving woman. She seemed to have forgotten her past grudges with Xu Nuannuan. She took the initiative to run up to Xu Nuannuan and said, "Xu Zhiqing, there's something exciting going on in our brigade today. The only female college graduate in our village is getting married to the son of the deputy director of the commune. There's bound to be a big party at noon. You should come and see it then."
Xu Nuannuan immediately thought of the girl who came to see Jiang Yang a few days ago. She was getting married.
She had never seen a girl here get married. "Okay, whose girl is it? I'll go see her at noon."
I'm bringing Old Lady Guan along to join in the fun.
"That girl's name is Shen Wenxiu. Let me tell you what happened to the Shen family."
Because it was the only female college student in the team who was getting married, and she was marrying the son of a commune leader, the team leader had to go out early in the morning to attend and preside over the wedding. Other members of the Shen family also went out earlier and came to attend the wedding.
Xu Nuannuan gave the sheep to Guadaner and asked Tuanzi to raise them with him, while she and Old Lady Guan watched the fun.
The deputy director of the commune's house was indeed very impressive. There were eight bicycles and two donkey carts, each of which was hung with red silk. This made everyone in the village envious.
"Look at them! They've got donkey carts and so many bicycles. Whose daughter's wedding could have such a grand ceremony? Humph, when my daughter got married, she didn't have any carts, just a donkey."
"She's marrying the son of the deputy director of the commune, and your daughter is marrying the son of a peasant family. How can it be the same?"
"My girl is not as lucky as her."
"Comparing people will only make you die, and comparing goods will only make you throw them away. Wenxiu is a college student, otherwise she wouldn't be able to marry into the deputy director's family."
Several musicians were playing music at Shen's house, and the yard was bustling with activity and a festive atmosphere.
Shen Xu was more excited than ever, greeting the guests with a sneer of his big yellow teeth, and the corners of his mouth never fell.
He also asked his two sons to welcome the guests outside. The two sons were very happy and could not help but bow and nod when they saw Zhang Hongqi.
Shen Wenxiu was the only one in the room. On such a happy day, her pretty face was filled with melancholy. She only smiled when a guest came into the room to see her.
Her parents said that she must perform in today's play to make the Zhang family happy and so that all the neighbors in the brigade can't find any fault with her, otherwise she can't go to university.
There were people in the Shen family's yard, in the house, and even at the door.
Xu Nuannuan and Old Lady Guan were watching outside. The groom Zhang Hongqi carried the bride Shen Wenxiu out of the house, put her on his bicycle, and placed her on the back seat. The people around cheered and gave them their blessings.
When the four members of the Jiang family got off the train, they happened to see the wedding procession coming to the town.
Jiang Ting noticed the bustling wedding procession. "Mom, look who's getting married in our team? There are so many bicycles and even donkey carts. This is quite a big event."
The other three were also curious, "Let's go over and take a look and join in the fun," said Mei Xiangcao.
Jiang Ye was not interested in this kind of thing. "You guys just wait and see. I'll go home and cook."
Watching those boring things is not as important as eating.
Jiang Yang seemed to have guessed that today's bride was Shen Wenxiu. His heart felt like it was hit by a huge stone weighing a thousand pounds, sinking bit by bit.
He wanted to go home, afraid of seeing a scene that would break her heart, but his feet were out of control.
She is a bride today, the most beautiful moment of her life. She wants to look at him and doesn't want to miss his most beautiful moment.
The wedding procession arrived. Shen Wenxiu, dressed in bright red, sat in the back seat of Zhang Hongqi's car. The car was moving slowly, and behind it followed a large number of relatives and neighbors who had come to see the bride off and to join in the fun.
Shen Wenxiu did not forget her mother's instructions, and she was smiling all the time. But when she saw Jiang Yang in the crowd, her expression froze for a moment, and then she continued to smile like a daughter.
As the bicycle passed Jiang Yang, he saw Sister Wenxiu smiling happily. She must be happy in her heart.
Sister Wenxiu, I hope you can live happily forever.
As the convoy moved away, Shen Wenxiu's figure gradually disappeared from his sight, and his heart slowly calmed down.
Sister Wenxiu, goodbye!
Old Lady Guan was not with Xu Nuannuan all the time. In the afternoon, she went to see Lin Ruyan in the field. Lin Ruyan was hoeing the field, and Guan Yurong was not by her side. She took the hoe from Lin Ruyan's hand.
"Ruyan, grandma will help you, you take a rest."
Lin Ruyan really handed the hoe to her and rested beside it.
Who asked the old lady to be so kind to Xu Nuannuan? She must have helped Xu Nuannuan with work. If that's the case, she should help herself too.
The old lady had never farmed in her life, so she found it a bit difficult to pick up the hoe. Although she was not born into a wealthy family, she was not spoiled. She took the hoe and hoeed the ground bit by bit.
The people who were hoeing the fields with Lin Ruyan were an elderly couple from the village. They both couldn't stand Lin Ruyan's behavior.
The old man said to her, "Lin Zhiqing, your grandmother is old, so don't let her work."
