Jiang Li reached out to take the second child, and looking at his smacking little mouth, he knew that he must be hungry.
Jiang Li carried the second child into the room, and Jiang Yi carried the eldest child into the main room and walked back and forth to coax him.
Jiang Li fed the second one and then the eldest one. After an hour of hard work, he finally took care of the two little guys.
Seeing them falling asleep with their eyes closed and a look of satisfaction after eating and drinking, Jiang Li was about to get up when Jiang Yi took the initiative to bring him a bowl of millet porridge.
"Sister, this is the porridge I made for you. It has been warming on the stove since you left, and it's still hot now."
Jiang Li took the spoon aside, held the bowl with both hands and drank it in one gulp in a very ungraceful manner.
It was almost 10 o'clock in the morning, and Jiang Li was already starving.
After finishing the porridge, Jiang Li remembered to open the gift bag he received today.
Jiang Yi took the bowl and went to the kitchen to busy himself. Jiang Li thought about it and decided to let his brother open it himself.
After Jiang Yi finished his work, Jiang Li waved at him and said, "Jiang Yi, come here. I have a small gift for you."
Jiang Yi's sister had never given him a gift in his entire life, and his curiosity was piqued. He ran over with a smile on his face. At the age of 14, he was as happy as a child of several years old.
Jiang Li handed over the gift bag and said with a smile, "This is for you. Open it."
"Sister, can I really take it apart?"
Their family conditions have always been poor, and they rarely go to other villagers' homes for banquets.
No one would give them gifts, but unexpectedly, his sister went out and brought back a bag of gifts. Jiang Yi was both excited and proud when he saw it.
He opened the big red gift bag and saw 8 candies inside, including White Rabbit milk candies, fruit candies and two gummy candies.
There are also noodles and sugar, and a towel is placed at the bottom.
Jiang Yi was stunned when he saw these gifts. He had never seen such a rich gift package and such practical gifts.
The bright red towel with flower and bird patterns is fragrant and soft, just right for wiping the faces of two babies.
Instant noodles are white and fragrant. If you eat them sparingly, they can last you a whole day.
Add some white sugar with distinct granules when cooking white rice porridge, and the sweet taste is delicious.
The most important thing is those 8 candies. Jiang Yi has never eaten so many candies in his life!
He looked at the candy and swallowed several times. He wanted to eat it but didn't dare to.
"Sister, can I really eat these candies?"
"Of course, it's all yours!"
"Really? That's great."
Jiang Yi divided the candies into two equal parts, and he put the other four candies in a small box.
"Are you reluctant to eat it or what?"
"I just miss my sister. I remember that she loved eating candy the most, but our family was poor and we couldn't afford it, so she could only watch others eat it. Now my sister has given me so many candies, I want to save some for her."
Jiang Yi felt a little sad when he talked about his sister, and Jiang Li's expression also changed.
It has been more than half a month since my sister disappeared. Although the case has been reported and many human traffickers have been arrested, there is still no news of my sister.
Communications were not well developed in the 1970s, and the most primitive methods were used to capture human traffickers.
The efficiency is extremely low and it is easy for something to slip through the net.
Due to problems with information transmission, if a person leaves the city and is taken to another place, it is basically difficult to find him or her by manpower.
Although Jiang Li had watched this TV series, the plot she saw did not include the part where her sister was taken away, nor did she see the place where she ended up afterwards.
Fortunately, she knew that her sister would be taken to a family in the northeast four months later.
She had not suffered any harm before that, and that family was where her disaster began.
Because the impression at that time was so deep, Jiang Li paid special attention to the detailed address and house number of that family.
In other words, if there is no news from the Public Security Bureau, Jiang Li can find his sister's whereabouts in three and a half months.
This is a blessing in disguise. Although my sister will suffer a little, she will be found before she gets hurt.
"If the Public Security Bureau still has no news of my sister after three and a half months, I will go look for her myself!"
Jiang Li made up his mind. Jiang Yi nodded with red eyes, and asked with some distrust.
"What if I can't find it? Will I never have a sister again?"
"If you can't find it, keep looking until you find it! The person I sold must be found by me personally!"
Jiang Li said this in a strong and powerful voice, and Jiang Yi, who originally didn't believe it, nodded.
As long as my sister said this, things would turn around.
Jiang Yi kept the four candies, hoping to have the chance to give them to his sister in person in the future.
…
At 9 o'clock in the morning, the groom came to pick up the bride. Jiang Honghua had a red veil on her head. Everyone stretched their necks and their eyes almost popped out, but still couldn't see what the bride looked like.
No, no, no, to be precise, I still haven’t seen the bride’s new hairstyle.
We knew that the bride had a beautiful hairstyle but we couldn’t see it, which made us feel very anxious!
After waiting for a long time, it was finally noon and the newlyweds entered the wedding ceremony.
"First bow to heaven and earth, second bow to parents, and then husband and wife bow to each other..."
According to local customs, after a couple bows to each other, they must lift the red veil in public.
The most exciting moment is about to come, and everyone's eyes are fixed on the groom's hands.
Some people couldn't help but take a step forward. Everyone wanted to see what was so special about the new look created by Jiang Li.
The groom was not nervous at first, but his heart started pounding for no reason when they looked at him like that.
His hands were shaking for a long time but he still couldn't lift Jiang Honghua's red veil. Someone couldn't help but urge him to do it.
"Can you please act like a man? Why are your hands shaking during your wedding?"
"You're shaking now? What are you going to do on your wedding night?"
"Are you capable of this? If not, I'll do it!"
At everyone's urging, the groom suddenly lifted the bride's red veil.
"call--"
"roar!"
“Beautiful!”
The people around gasped. It was not the first time they saw Jiang Honghua, but they had never seen her so beautiful.
Her smooth long hair was tied into an elegant style, matched with these two red flowers. Although she was a rough woman, she now looked gentle and quiet.
There is also the makeup on her face. Her eyebrows used to be thick and hard, and her lips were a little big, making her facial features look very masculine.
Is this beautiful woman in front of me with her curved willow-shaped eyebrows, high nose bridge, and rosy lips really Jiang Honghua???
Not only the onlookers were stunned, but even the groom himself was stunned.
"Honghua, you are so beautiful today! You really amazed me!"
The groom passionately confessed his love to the bride in public, and the atmosphere in the venue reached an unprecedented climax.
Someone belatedly asked, "Who did Jiang Honghua's makeup and hair?"
"I heard it was Jiang Li!"
