Cheng Qiuqiu had no objection to the timing of the wedding; she wished she could marry Du Ziqiang right now, since he was the man she loved.
Moreover, after spending these past few days with Du Ziqiang, she felt that she liked him more and more.
When she was with Du Ziqiang, she would always smile unconsciously.
She feels a strong sense of loss when Du Ziqiang is not around.
Cheng Xiao Kui respected Cheng Qiu Kui's opinion. Since Cheng Qiu Kui wanted to get married the day after tomorrow, then let's do it the day after tomorrow.
Anyway, I've already bought everything I needed for my sister.
Furthermore, Cheng Qiu Kui can stay at her husband's family home for the wedding the day after tomorrow, and then move back to the new courtyard house once it is completed.
Within a few hours, Cheng Qiu Kui's wedding date was set.
Du Ziqiang rode his bicycle home to prepare for his wedding with his family.
The aunties and grandmas all congratulated Cheng Qiu Kui on her upcoming wedding.
Cheng Qiu Kui's face turned as red as an apple.
Cheng Chun Kui sighed and said, "I didn't expect my little sister to get married so soon. I'm really a little sad to see her go!"
Cheng Xiao Kui said, "Yes, I'm reluctant to let him go either, but Du Ziqiang is a good person, and Qiu Kui has good taste. They will be happy after they get married."
Cheng Qiuqiu nodded her little head and said, "I think so too!"
Just as the three sisters were talking, Song Wenhui arrived again on her bicycle.
It was already dark, and it was business hours, so she was certain that Cheng Xiao Kui and Cheng Qiu Kui would be there.
Sure enough, when she arrived, she not only saw guests in the courtyard, but also the three sisters sitting together whispering.
When Cheng Xiaokui saw Song Wenhui, she told her sister to sit still. She went straight to the gate of the courtyard and said to Song Wenhui, "Qiu Kui is getting married the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow we need to prepare her dowry and pack her things for the wedding. She can't come to your house to help you tomorrow."
Song Wenhui was taken aback. She asked, "We're getting married tomorrow? How is that possible? The wedding banquet is off."
Cheng Xiaokui said, "Hold the wedding banquet at a restaurant! If you want to have one, you can make wedding noodles at home and invite your neighbors to eat. You'll need to buy all kinds of meat, eggs, fish, and make the sauce for the wedding noodles. You can spend that money! I estimate 100 yuan should be enough."
Wedding noodles are not just noodles; they are also a type of banquet dish, consisting of noodles, gravy, and various side dishes.
When the husband's family holds a wedding banquet, the wife's family invites the neighbors to eat celebratory noodles.
In those days, brides' families in the capital did not attend their husbands' family's banquets; only the bride's brothers attended.
Three days after the wedding, the groom will take the bride back to her parents' home to meet her relatives. It is at this time that the bride will pay respects to her parents-in-law and all her relatives.
When Song Wenhui heard that it was 100 yuan, she almost lost her life.
She hurriedly said, "The okra is staying here, so we'll set up the table here! You pay for this!"
After her wedding, she'll return to her parents' home three days later for the traditional family reunion. The gifts for this reunion must be substantial! If she's shortchanging them on even one thing, I'll kick her out!
Cheng Xiao Kui said, "Alright then! I'll prepare a celebratory feast for my sister, and the gifts for her homecoming visit won't be cheap. I'll bring whatever is appropriate."
After receiving a satisfactory reply, Song Wenhui rode her bicycle away.
She calculated that she had saved 100 yuan and would also receive various gifts for her return visit to her parents' home. By any measure, she had made a profit!
Cheng Qiu Kui walked over to Cheng Xiao Kui and said, "Sister, I've made you spend money again..."
Cheng Xiao Kui said, "What's the big deal? I'm going to make sure you have a grand wedding! We'll have a continuous feast for your wedding, and all the neighbors can come and eat!"
She's closing her shop tomorrow to prepare wedding noodles for her sister's wedding.
The day after tomorrow, before dawn, her in-laws will send a car to pick up Cheng Qiu Kui.
Her family sets up a celebratory feast in the morning, and her continuous feast lasts all day.
Cheng Chun Kui walked over, put her arm around Cheng Qiu Kui's shoulder, and said, "No matter what, congratulations on the start of your new life."
Cheng Qiuqiu threw herself into her eldest sister's arms, "I'm so happy, I'm so lucky to have two older sisters!"
Cheng Xiao Kui told Cheng Qiu Kui and Cheng Chun Kui to rest quickly, as they would be very busy preparing all the ingredients for the wedding noodles the next day.
Fortunately, it was all for preparing a celebratory feast for Cheng Qiu Kui, so Cheng Xiao Kui spent the whole day in a flurry of activity.
She prepared all of Cheng Qiu Kui's dowry and personally delivered it to the Du family.
The next morning, Du Ziqiang came to pick up Cheng Qiu Kui in a jeep.
To everyone's surprise, before dawn, Cheng Dongkui arrived at Cheng Xiaokui's house in a wheelchair, intending to send his third sister to become a nun.
Cheng Qiu Kui and her younger brother hugged each other and cried bitterly. Her brother was really worried about her, fearing that she would have no brothers from her family to accompany her when she got married.
Cheng Qiu Kui and Du Zi Qiang carried Cheng Dong Kui's wheelchair and lifted her into the jeep.
Cheng Dongkui accompanied Cheng Qiukui in Du Ziqiang's jeep to the Du family home.
Cheng Chun-kui and Cheng Xiao-kui, the two sisters, were hosting their neighbors for a celebratory noodle feast at home.
Everyone who came was happy for Cheng Qiu Kui, who had married into a good family.
The banquet lasted until late at night. Unable to contain her curiosity, Cheng Chunqiu sneaked outside the restaurant to watch Cheng Qiuqiu's wedding.
Through the hotel's glass windows, you can see that the hotel is filled with large tables, and it's very lively with many guests.
Cheng Qiu Kui wore a beautiful red suit skirt, the most fashionable outfit of the time, and a beautiful red silk flower in her hair, which was a large cluster with pretty tassels.
She followed Du Ziqiang, toasting the guests who came to the wedding.
Cheng Chun Kui watched for a while, and seeing the smile on Cheng Qiu Kui's face, she felt relieved and went home.
After listening to Cheng Chun Kui's report, Cheng Xiao Kui felt relieved.
The banquet lasted until night.
The two sisters tidied up the table and chairs, and put all the dishes and chopsticks into the kitchen.
While the two sisters were busy, Cheng Xiao Kui unexpectedly noticed out of the corner of her eye that a car headlight was shining into the yard.
She turned around and saw a jeep parked in front of her house.
As the jeep door opened, Si Muyang got out of the vehicle.
Si Muyang had white bandages wrapped around his arm, his face was bruised, and he wasn't wearing a military cap; his head was wrapped in white gauze.
The bowl in Cheng Xiao Kui's hand instantly smashed to the ground and shattered completely.
She ran towards Si Muyang and hugged him.
Si Muyang put his arm around Cheng Xiaokui and said with a smile, "Why are you crying? I'm back, aren't I? Just a few days late. I broke my promise! You can punish me however you want, I'll do whatever you say!"
Cheng Xiaokui shook her head in the man's arms and said, "I won't punish you, it's good that you're back. Si Muyang! Tell me what you've been through? How did you get hurt?"
Cheng Chun Kui walked over and said, "Xiao Kui, Comrade Si has finally returned. Let's help him back to his room to rest!"
She reached out to take the handbag from Si Muyang's hand.
However, Si Muyang did not respond to Cheng Chun Kui's actions.
He held the leather bag tightly in his large hand.
He said, "I can carry it myself."
Cheng Xiao Kui helped Si Mu Yang back to his room.
Two bodyguards followed Si Muyang into the courtyard and stood on either side of the door to Si Muyang's room.
