There are so many things to prepare before getting married. Since he already has the conditions, he certainly wants to give Gu Lin the best wedding.
Gu's mother has been staying in Mingyuan every day recently to help prepare for the wedding. From the decoration of the new room, to the invitation of guests, to the banquet menu, etc., everything is mainly based on her.
Gu Lin acted like nothing had happened every day. She was either discussing with Chen Dong which snacks were more delicious, or discussing with Chen Qiu whether to buy a woolen coat or continue wearing a down jacket for the New Year.
Mother Gu was always furious with her heartless daughter, and today she started to teach her a lesson again.
Mother Gu poked Gu Lin's head with her finger and scolded her, "You're getting married soon, why are you still acting like a child? Put down the plums in your hand and come over here to put up the wedding sign."
Gu Lin pouted and looked at Chen Xia pitifully, as if asking for help.
Chen Xia pretended not to see anything and continued to discuss the menu with his future mother-in-law. Gu Lin was so angry that she wanted to pounce on him like a tiger and beat him up.
As a result, Gu's mother glared at her with a deathly look, and she immediately turned around and followed her sister-in-law to paste the wedding characters.
Originally, the affairs of the Chen family should have been arranged by the elders or the eldest sister, but both of Chen's parents had passed away, and Chen Chun was a workaholic, so only the groom Chen Xia had to take care of it himself.
"Xiao Xia, will the food you listed be available for purchase by then?"
Mother Gu pointed at the menu and asked in surprise. It said: pheasant, hare, yellow muntjac, beef, lobster, king crab, yellow croaker, octopus, and rockfish.
Even someone as knowledgeable as Gu's mother found these ingredients a little unbelievable. After all, she had never seen them in the Yuezhou Supply and Marketing Cooperative.
"Auntie, don't worry. I've already ordered all the ingredients. Just pick them up when the time comes. There's absolutely no problem. This is the first time Gu Lin and I are getting married, so of course we have to make it grand and let Gu Lin get married in style."
Gu Lin called out from the next room, "Chen Lao Er, do you want to get married a second time?"
Mother Gu was so angry that she threw the pillow at him and said, "If you can't speak, just shut up."
Chen Xia thought: That’s right, this is his second marriage.
In his previous life, the wedding was held in a five-star hotel. Old Man Chen and Old Lady Yin took care of everything, and he just had to show up on time. It was different from now, where he had to do everything himself.
In his previous life, he was actually no different from Gu Lin now, heartless and worry-free.
In fact, he really wanted to yell, "Dear mother-in-law, leave everything to me."
But seeing how hard she worked, he couldn't bring himself to say that, so he could only busy himself along with her.
Chen Xia then remembered something, "Auntie, is there anything particular about the betrothal gift in your hometown in Northeast China?"
Mother Gu thought for a moment and said, "There are many things to pay attention to, but now it's a new society, so we don't care. Don't give any betrothal gifts, it's a bad habit, your uncle Gu and I don't support it. Your parents should have given some gold and silver jewelry as a recognition gift, but your parents are gone now, so let's save it."
Chen Xia was delighted when he heard this. Although he didn't have much other things, he had a lot of jewelry. He had stolen several boxes of jewelry and gold from the Kanguo Army.
"Auntie, wait a minute. I have a lot of these jewels at home. I was planning to collect them and sell them later. But since that's the custom in the Northeast, I'll let Gu Lin choose first. I'll give her as much as she wants."
Mother Gu was stunned.
"Give me as much as you want. How come this son-in-law is just like the old men from Northeast China? He's quite good at bragging."
Chen Xia's bedroom at this time was in the east wing, which could only be used on the wedding night. Less than 10 minutes later, she heard him shouting over there:
"Auntie, Gu Lin, Third Brother, come over here quickly. Fourth Brother, continue watching your TV."
Gu's mother came to the east wing in doubt. When she opened the door, she was stunned. The room was full of jewelry, shining brightly under the electric light.
At this time, there was only one idiom in her mind: jewels and precious stones.
Gu Lin and Chen Qiu followed behind Gu's mother and saw the bed and table covered with all kinds of gems and gold. They screamed, "Wow~~~~~"
There is no girl who doesn’t love these extremely beautiful jewelry. Gu Lin likes them, Chen Qiu likes them, and even the old aunt Gu’s mother likes them too.
The three women were like crazy, touching this necklace, looking at this bracelet, and trying this ring, all of them were as excited as mice seeing rice.
Especially since all these treasures belonged to their family, the three of them were so excited that their adrenaline was gushing out like the flood from the Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River.
These jewelries are mainly made of jadeite in various colors, and are made of gold, platinum, etc. The brightness is so bright that it can blind people's eyes.
Mother Gu asked in surprise: "Xiao Xia, where did you get all these jewelry?"
"Don't worry, Auntie. These are the fees I received from the ethnic minorities when I was a doctor in Ruili. They paid me clean money. I didn't steal or rob them."
It sounded nice, but he was actually feeling guilty. He hadn't stolen it. Fortunately, the other party was a reactionary warlord, so he could be considered robbing the rich to help the poor.
Gu Lin and Chen Qiu didn't care about that. They picked whatever they liked and kept trying them on in front of the mirror to show off their beauty. Their joy was beyond words.
Gu Lin looked at her boyfriend with shining eyes: "Chen Laoer, how many pieces of jewelry can I choose?"
Chen Xia waved his hand and said, "These are all ours. What's mine is yours too. Why are you being so polite to me?"
Chen Qiu was unhappy, "Second brother, you still owe me a bracelet."
"Here, here, here. But let your sister-in-law keep it for now. When you get married, ask her to give you a few more. Hey, little kid, put it down and don't drop it. This bracelet can be sold for tens of millions in the future, maybe even hundreds of millions."
The three women in the room burst out laughing. "It's tens of millions, and I only have a few dozen yuan at most."
"Stupid, I mean in the future. Look at this bracelet. It's emerald glass. There aren't many of them now, and they'll be almost impossible to find in the future. So it will only become more and more valuable. You can keep it as a family heirloom, understand?"
Mother Gu is now completely convinced of her future son-in-law, and there is more satisfaction in her eyes when she looks at her daughter. It really is true that lazy people have good fortune.
The next day, Chen Xia took Gu Lin to the provincial capital, where they took several beautiful wedding photos.
Other people take wedding photos indoors, but Chen Xia doesn't. He specifically requests to take them outdoors in a beautiful place, and he doesn't care how much extra it costs.
By the West Lake, a group of photo studio staff were running around, working with the photographer and makeup artist to provide one-on-one service to the newlyweds.
Chen Chun stood by, tears in his eyes, looking at his brother happily...
