The next day at noon.
Lin Shu sat at the table in the dormitory, his cheek resting on his hand, staring at the paper on the table, which contained a prescription for Xie Guofeng and his wife.
I don't know how they are preparing. She has tried her best to replace the expensive and hard-to-find herbs with simple and easy-to-find ones.
In addition, Lin Shu frowned slightly. She had to find an opportunity to go up the mountain to see what herbs could be picked on the mountain.
She couldn't always make medicine appear out of thin air, or she would be discovered sooner or later.
"Lin Shu."
"Hmm?" Lin Shu turned his head.
"How about I wear this to the wedding banquet this afternoon?" Xu Juan was gesturing on her body while holding a dark red skirt.
Lin Shu shook his head slightly: "Just do it the same as usual. We are not the protagonists today anyway."
Although I was attending a wedding banquet today, the reddish color was still too prominent given the current popularity of dark colors such as blue, green, and gray.
"That's right." Xu Juan threw her skirt onto the bed. "It's been bothering me for most of the day."
"Um," Li Mei, who was sitting on the bed, suddenly said, "Are you going to attend the village wedding banquet?"
"Yes." Lin Shu replied.
"Then...whose is it?" Li Mei asked in a low voice.
"The person in the village is called Han Yuan." Xu Juan put the folded skirt into the box and answered.
Li Mei's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, "Is he the son of Secretary Han from the village?
“I don’t know.” Lin Shu said.
She only knew that Han Yuan was Han Yan's cousin, and they both had the surname Han, so it couldn't be such a coincidence.
Lin Shu glanced at Xu Juan.
Xu Juan also shook her head: "I don't know either."
"Um," Li Mei asked cautiously, "Can I go with you?" After saying that, she looked at Lin Shu with anticipation.
Lin Shu frowned slightly.
"Well, I was just joking." Li Mei said hurriedly, then lowered her head, as if she didn't dare to look at Lin Shu.
"They've climbed up the social ladder." Liu Fang, who was lying on the bed, suddenly spoke up with a sarcastic tone, "Why would they bring you along?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xu Juan said angrily, "Stop trying to sow discord here."
"Then take her with you."
"You." Xu Juan was speechless.
Lin Shu looked at Liu Fang calmly, then at Li Mei who kept her head down and remained silent.
"The host didn't invite us," Lin Shu said calmly. "Of course, you can still go if you want."
"No, no," Li Mei waved her hands in panic, "I didn't want to go. I was just joking."
She stood up, lowered her head, and stammered, "I... I have something else to do." After that, she hurriedly turned around and ran out of the dormitory.
"Hey, Li Mei." Seeing this, Xu Juan hurriedly chased after her.
"Hmph, hypocrisy." Liu Fang sneered again.
Lin Shu ignored her.
As long as she doesn't do anything actually harmful, I don't bother to pay attention to her occasional tantrums.
However, Li Mei and Lin Shu stared at the door with a slight glint in their eyes.
After spending the past two days together, she could sense that Li Mei was a bit self-conscious and sensitive. But now… Lin Shu shook her head and put the thought aside. As long as it didn't involve her, there were some things she couldn't control.
Not long after, Xu Juan and Li Mei returned to the dormitory talking and laughing.
Li Mei glanced at Lin Shu, her eyes flashing slightly, and then she gave her a timid smile.
Xu Juan looked at Lin Shu, then at Li Mei, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Lin Shu raised his eyebrows slightly and responded with a faint smile.
Xu Juan seemed relieved and smiled instantly.
In the afternoon, Lin Shu and Xu Juan went to attend Han Yuan's wedding banquet.
Han Yuan's home is not far from Han Yan's home.
Before I got close, I heard the sound of gongs and drums, and the festive music, which made people feel happy.
A group of people were standing outside the yard, chatting about something, some were surprised, some were sighing, and some were laughing.
"Go pick up the bride! Go pick up the bride!" Several children were running around, yowls coming from time to time. It seemed that the groom was going to pick up the bride.
Lin Shu and Xu Juan were mixed in the crowd of onlookers. She glanced at the crowd and saw that they were all strangers.
Yes, Aunt Liang and the others should be helping in the yard at this time. As for Han Yan, he should have gone with Han Yuan to pick up the bride.
Someone glanced at them several times, then lowered his head and whispered something to the person next to him.
"Who are they?"
"I don't know, probably educated youth."
"She looks so delicate, you can't tell she's here to work."
"Hey, once you're here, you have to do it. Look at the ones who came before..."
“…”
Lin Shu vaguely heard a few words, and he and Xu Juan looked at each other, smiled at each other, and pretended not to hear.
After a while, the topic returned to the bride and groom.
"Where is the bride from?"
"He said he was from the county and worked at the supply and marketing cooperative."
"Wow, that dowry must be huge."
“…”
"Could it be that we met last time at the supply and marketing cooperative?" Xu Juan whispered to Lin Shu.
"Could it be such a coincidence?" Lin Shu wasn't sure. The one called Xu Xiaoli seemed okay, but as for the other one called Han Chunhua...
"Here she comes, here she comes, the bride!" a voice shouted, interrupting her wandering thoughts.
The crowd suddenly became agitated, standing on tiptoe and looking into the distance with their heads raised. Some people even ran forward a few steps.
Xu Juan pulled Lin Shu's clothes to prop up her feet.
Lin Shu glanced at her.
"Sorry, I'm short." Xu Juan said with a silly smile.
Lin Shu chuckled and turned to look into the distance.
In the distance, I saw a black car leading the way with a big red flower hanging on the hood.
