Chapter 87
Li Hongmei's wedding was a lively one. The banquet stretched from the yard of Erwa's house to half of the path outside. Everyone in the village who could come came, including colleagues from the factory who had a good relationship with Erwa. There were quite a lot of people.
In addition to giving big red envelopes, Pei Ze and Zhong Miao also helped Erwa greet the guests, especially the employees in the factory. As soon as they saw Pei Ze and his wife, they would not let them leave and would toast them no matter what they said. They were the big boss and his wife. The boss was common, but the boss's wife was not.
Zhong Miao has an aura of beauty that makes it hard for anyone to look away. It is very stunning. Not to mention the employees in the factory, even the villagers, some of whom think they have watched Zhong Miao grow up, can't help but sigh, "Girls change a lot when they grow up."
-
At the Spring and Summer Art Exhibition, Zhong Miao presented her new work. This time, she won the silver medal, and Li Qiumo's masterpiece won the gold medal.
This time, in interviews with newspapers and magazines, she was no longer promoted as a student, but was introduced as a contemporary young painter, introducing Zhong Miao, a rising star who must have a bright future.
A collector offered 10,000 yuan for her work from last year, but Zhong Ming didn't let her sell it, and she didn't want to either. She gave the painting to her father, hoping that he would feel her joy every time he saw her paintings.
"Tired?" Li Qiumo handed over a bottle of soda, this time it was in a plastic bottle, and it was the brand she loved most in her previous life.
She took a sip and that was the taste.
"It's normal to be tired. Aren't you tired?"
"tired."
The master and the apprentice were in the office, one leaning back in his chair and the other slumped on the sofa. Today, they had been interviewed three times, three rounds, for more than six hours.
"Teacher, tell me if this is considered a bundled sale, riding on your fame."
"Haha, okay, let your Pei Ze treat me to a good meal."
"Okay, what else is there to say? Thank you, my dear teacher, for your cultivation."
"If you can't do it yourself, my training will be of no use. It still depends on you."
"That's right."
"Why are you vomiting so much lately? Are you pregnant? Am I going to have a little disciple?"
This semester, when the anatomy class started, Zhong Miao's vomiting problem returned.
"Forget it, I vomited from drawing human bodies. It's a psychological problem. It's okay. You'll get used to it after drawing for a while."
"You're still wearing something like this? I suggest you go to the hospital for a checkup. What if you're really pregnant?"
It was no wonder that Li Qiumo couldn't understand. He was a grown man himself and had no feeling for drawing men or women. Besides, he hadn't drawn the human body for a long time.
"Okay, I'll go there when I have time and get some anti-nausea medicine."
"I'll call Pei Ze and ask him to go with you. We'll be there soon. Don't miss your classes."
"Okay, thank you for your guidance, Master." Zhong Miao was too lazy to move a finger.
"No respect for elders." Li Qiumo called Pei Ze and told him about Zhong Miao's situation. Pei Ze simply called Li Hongmei and asked her to keep the money and take it home in the evening. He would go to reconcile the accounts tomorrow.
After Li Hongmei got married, Erwa bought a small bungalow near the furniture store, which was similar to Zhong Miao's house. The couple lived there, and Erwa rode a small motorcycle to and from get off work every day.
Pei Ze arrived quickly. As soon as he walked into the office, he saw his wife slumped on the sofa, looking like a frost-bitten eggplant.
Li Qiumo was not much better. He was lying on the desk, playing with a soda bottle. If you look closely, you can see that the eyes of this outstanding painter are unfocused.
After seeing the master and apprentice's looks, Pei Ze felt a bit of a headache. This is how you two do art, you both look so listless.
Pei Ze pulled Zhong Miao up and said, "Teacher Li, let's go."
Li Qiumo didn't even raise his head or say anything, just waved his hand.
Pei Ze was driving. He was a little confused and a little scared. Was she really pregnant? No way, he had taken precautions.
I went to the hospital and had a check-up. They found nothing wrong, just stomach discomfort.
"It's okay, don't worry. I just paint the human body. It's a psychological problem. It will be fine after a while."
"human body?"
"Um."
"Wife, tell me, what is the human body? What do you learn to draw in school all day long?"
Zhong Miao was at a loss for words and gave Pei Ze a general idea.
Pei Ze was stunned when he heard this. He had taken many extra classes and had seen many Western oil paintings, but he didn't expect that his wife would also have to paint this, and it had to be handed in as homework in class.
"Don't be like this, these are all normal classes, don't get the wrong idea."
"Then why did you vomit?"
"You're not used to it. If I draw you, you won't vomit. After all, my husband is a man who looks good in my aesthetic sense. He's good-looking in every way. No one can compare to him."
What else could Pei Ze say? This girl was already wilting, yet she still wanted to coax him. Alas.
"Or, just focus on drawing and get by with this subject."
He is not a conservative person, but his wife is a beautiful girl, and the picture she draws in class may be of a man picking his toes. Well, he would vomit if he were in his place.
"It's okay. Once you get used to vomiting after a while, it will be fine."
Pei Ze shook his head, quite disapproving, "That won't do. How about you ask for a leave?"
"No, I still have the human anatomy class next year. I can't always ask for leave. If I really can't, I'll just take some anti-nausea medicine."
Pei Ze was helpless, but he couldn't do anything about her.
Taking advantage of returning home early today, Pei Ze took Zhong Miao to the garment factory to find his father-in-law.
Zhong Miao didn't think much about it. She never said hello when she came to her father's house, and sometimes she would show up empty-handed.
She went straight into the office, and Pei Ze went to the factory to find his father-in-law.
After waiting for a while, the father-in-law and son-in-law came back together, and Pei Ze was holding a big bag in his hand.
"What is this?" Zhong Miao was curious.
"My dear daughter, this is a gift from Dad. Open it and take a look."
"Okay." She didn't hesitate and opened the bag. She saw white silk fabric. This must be the clothes her old father gave her.
She guessed half right. When the skirt unfolded, she realized that it was a wedding dress.
Zhong Miao asked with a cheerful face, "What's going on?"
"Li Guodong and Erwa have both finished their weddings, and now it's our turn."
Pei Ze smiled and replied, "How is it? I specially asked my father to customize it. For our wedding, I have sent out invitations to all the teachers and classmates from your school. I have reserved fifty tables at the Qingzhou Hotel."
"We, the two of us? What's going on with fifty tables?"
Zhong Miao then remembered that Pei Ze had said they wanted to have another wedding in the spring during their wedding anniversary last year. She had originally thought that a dinner together would be enough for the two families, so what was going on with these fifty tables? They had already had weddings and such, though she had no memory of that. This was too much. Fifty tables, that meant five or six hundred people.
"Of course I have to have a grand wedding, regardless of your husband's current status. I still think fifty tables are not enough, as there is no bigger banquet hall."
"You, please let me take it easy."
Zhong Miao had never thought about getting married before. After she traveled through the book, she was forced to get married and she accepted it. She did not yearn for marriage, so she never fantasized about her own wedding.
Her understanding of weddings is still based on the wedding of her best friend who became a mother early.
"My dear, take your time. I'll take my uncle to try on his suit."
How could Zhong Ming not understand his daughter? He wanted to give her some space to slow down.
"Yeah." Zhong Miao nodded obediently.
Zhong Ming led Pei Ze to another room in the factory and handed him a bag. "Try it on. If it doesn't fit, we can modify it."
"Okay, Dad, is Zhong Miao unhappy, or did I do something wrong? Hey, I was planning to give her a surprise."
"No, she's just too happy. She's emotionally overwhelmed. We have to decide what to do. I'm still waiting to personally send my daughter off to marry."
"That'll do."
For Zhong Miao, this happiness came unexpectedly. Everyone around her knew that she was married, had been married for a long time, and she had to hold another wedding. It was a bit embarrassing.
She shook open the wedding dress and looked at it carefully. It was made of silk with a layer of gauze on the outside. It had no long train and no exaggerated petticoat. It looked like a gorgeous evening gown, beautiful and noble.
In addition to the tulle embellishment on the upper body, there is also beautiful lace, and the skirt from the waist down is inlaid with pearls, adding a touch of dreamy texture to this wedding dress.
She stroked the pearls. Although they were not big, each one was evenly sized and extremely smooth.
She picked up the matching veil and compared it. The length was almost to her calf. The material of the veil was translucent and had a good drape. It was paired with a pearl hairpin, which was simply stunning.
Pei Ze came back wearing a dress. "Wife, how is it? Does it look good?"
Zhong Miao turned around. Pei Ze was very handsome. He had a straight nose, deep black eyes that seemed to be able to draw people in, and thin lips with a naturally pink rosy complexion. He had a good bone structure with sharp edges and corners, and he had recently changed his hairstyle to show off.
Not to mention that he was wearing a dark grey suit, with the same pearls as on his wedding dress inlaid on his cufflinks and pockets. The collar of his shirt also had the same design as the wedding dress, embellished with tulle, and the buttons on the collar and the waist of the wedding dress were inlaid with the same blue gems.
He is like a nobleman walking out of a painting, with a touch of gorgeous decoration in his low-key appearance, making him look extremely noble.
Pei Ze is tall and has long legs with a great figure. With the way he is dressed, Zhong Miao simply can't take his eyes off him. Alas, he is really lustful regardless of gender.
"What's wrong, wife? Are you stupid?"
Pei Ze laughed, and his nonchalant temperament was elevated to a higher level by the suit, which reminded Zhong Miao of the male protagonist in the novel, whose devilish smile made everything lose its color, as if he was the only one left in the world.
"It's rare to see you so serious. It's not easy."
"Haha, as long as you like it, come on, take the wedding dress and try it on. We'll show it to dad together. If it doesn't fit, alter it quickly."
"Um."
When Zhong Miao came out after changing into her wedding dress, it was Pei Ze who was dumbfounded.
Zhong Miao was like a shining pearl, beautiful and noble. She was like an elf from the human world, flying into his palm. From then on, there was only her in his eyes.
"Are you stunned?" Humph, give it back to him.
"I'm stupid. I can't take my eyes off you."
Pei Ze was more than just dumbfounded. Zhong Miao's behavior made him afraid to touch her. It was like a mortal man meeting a fairy.
"Where is my dad? Let him see. This dress fits me well."
"Come on, I'll take you there."
When Zhong Ming saw his daughter and son-in-law, he felt that they were a perfect match and were destined to be a couple.
When the old father saw his daughter wearing her wedding dress, he almost burst into tears. Only then did he feel a sense of reality about his daughter's marriage.
When he first came here, although he knew that his child was married, he didn't feel it was real. Later, after spending a long time with his uncle's family, he got used to it.
It was not until this moment that he realized that his daughter had really grown up, that she would get married and have her own family.
"Dad, this is so beautiful. Where did you get those gems and pearls? They are the finishing touch."
Zhong Miao knew how her old father felt, so she quickly changed the subject.
"These were all bought by my son-in-law, and the gems were given by your mother-in-law. Oh, my daughter and son-in-law are such a perfect match, one handsome and the other beautiful."
The old father wiped his eyes and praised.
Zhong Miao only felt like she was going to have a wedding on the day she tried on her wedding dress. After that, apart from sending invitations to her close teachers and classmates, she never contributed to anything else. She asked about it, but Pei Ze just told her to leave it to him.
Until the wedding day, Zhong Miao waited for Pei Ze to come and pick her up. She got married in her father's house, which was the room of the original warehouse. She was marrying from the backyard to the front yard.
Li Hongmei helped Zhong Miao put on some lipstick. "Oh, your wedding is going to make a big splash in the city. It's such a grand affair."
"Not really, is it that exaggerated?"
