After finishing her last day of work, Wen Qiao asked her supervisor for leave.
When Wen Qiao came to work, she specially brought a bag of candy for her boss, saying that she was getting married and wanted to give her boss some wedding candy.
Wen Qiao was a temporary worker and didn't earn much each month. Since she was getting married, she couldn't afford to spend money on a meal for everyone. So, Director Li smiled and said to Wen Qiao, "Happy wedding!"
When Wen Qiao rode her bike home, Lü Yazhi was already waiting at the door.
When Lü Yazhi lived in the countryside, she had a lot of things to do every day. After coming to the city, she had a lot of free time and found it too hard to bear.
Fortunately, Wen Qiao stayed at home these past few days, keeping her company. Lü Yazhi was busy taking care of Wen Qiao's three meals a day, which made her feel more at ease.
As soon as Wen Qiao's car arrived at her doorstep, Lü Yazhi came over.
"Mom, didn't I tell you not to wait for me at the door? You don't know what time I get off work, there's no need for me to just stand here."
Lü Yazhi stepped forward with a smile.
“Xiao Qiao, let me tell you, I put up the couplets this afternoon, and the neighbors around here asked me if there was a happy event in our family. I said my daughter is getting married.”
“The neighbors were quite welcoming. There were two of them. The woman who works as an accountant at the supply and marketing cooperative, her mother-in-law, came to our house and chatted with me for an afternoon.”
"And Wang Gangzi, the one across the street who's an apprentice at the tailor shop, his mother is here too."
Listening to her mother chatting about everyday matters, Wen Qiao smiled.
Wen Qiao wasn't very familiar with the people here, but the family her mother described seemed quite credible, so she didn't doubt it much.
"It's good that you know a few neighbors. You can talk to them often, so you won't be too bored when you come to visit, Mom."
Lü Yazhi said, "Yes. It's the same in the city and the countryside. In the countryside, I didn't feel that the villagers were particularly kind-hearted. On the contrary, in the city, everyone is quite warm and welcoming."
Wen Qiao nodded.
But I still gave them one more piece of advice.
"There are good people and bad people in the city. Mom, from now on, let's talk and chat in the yard, not inside the house. If something goes missing, it'll be hard to say what will happen."
Everyone's having a tough time these days. If something is missing from your home, you'll feel resentful if you don't say anything, but if you do say something, you might not be able to find it, and you'll end up offending someone.
It's not that she's afraid of offending people, the key issue is that Lü Yazhi insists on living alone.
After Wen Qiao married Shen Jichuan, could she still live at her parents' house all day?
Lü Yazhi was all alone and afraid that people would see her as weak and bully her.
Lü Yazhi smiled and agreed, talking about her wedding the next day.
The house was decorated with festive red paper inside and out, all done by Wen Qiao and Lü Yazhi together.
In the morning, Lü Yazhi said that Mr. Shen's driver, Li Qiang, had come and asked if there was anything he could help with at home, saying that Mr. Shen had asked him to come and help. Lü Yazhi thought there was nothing she could help with, so she told Li Qiang to go back.
On the night of her wedding, Wen Qiao hugged her pillow and went to sleep with her mother.
The mother and daughter lay on the same bed and talked for a long time.
Wen Qiao listened attentively to most of what Lü Yazhi said.
Lu Yazhi said that time flies. The little girl who was just learning to speak in her arms is now getting married.
Lu Yazhi said she was thinking of keeping her daughter for another two years.
Wen Qiao didn't tell Lü Yazhi that if she didn't marry Shen Jichuan, and they fell into Shen Haiyang's trap, neither she nor her daughter would have a good ending.
