Upon hearing about the surprise, the two little ones' eyes lit up. "Really? What's the surprise?"
Huo Tingzhou wasn't sure either, but he glanced expectantly in the direction of the basement.
"I already said it was a surprise, even Dad didn't know."
Fearing they would get restless and run around, Huo Tingzhou assigned them another important task.
So the two little ones sat down on either side of Third Uncle and Uncle Zhong.
"Great-Grandpa, Grandpa Zhong, Mom says she has a surprise for us!"
Upon hearing this, Third Uncle and Uncle Zhong put down their teacups in agreement. "Oh? Is that so!"
The brother and sister nodded in unison and even made a "shh" gesture.
Seeing the two little ones sitting there with their arms crossed, looking rather stiff, the third uncle was a little puzzled.
Finally, Huo Tingzhou explained, and they understood that the two little ones were getting emotional.
Seeing this, the group fell silent, patiently waiting for Jiang Si while keeping vigil for the New Year.
Jiang Si was unaware of what was happening in the living room; at that moment, she was rummaging through drawers and cabinets in her spatial storage, looking for clothes.
She had already taken stock of most of her jewelry, but she had just too many clothes; there were nearly thirty boxes just for storing them.
After searching for more than ten minutes, Jiang Si finally found the box specifically for storing formal dresses.
Most of these dresses were custom-made for her eighteenth birthday celebration. Although the major movement had not officially started at that time, rumors were already circulating.
Upon learning that Mr. and Mrs. Huo would also be attending, Shen Xiuwen generously commissioned more than ten dresses for them.
The rest were all custom-made for her by her mother when she was still alive.
But these weren't what Jiang Si was looking for. She remembered that when her mother was on her deathbed, she had more than ten master craftsmen specially make a wedding dress for her.
Not being able to see her daughter get married was the biggest regret of Jiang's mother's life, so she really put a lot of thought into the wedding dress.
Therefore, she specifically asked the experienced craftsmen to reserve the dimensions in advance so that it would be convenient to make modifications later.
After searching high and low, Jiang Si finally found the wedding dress, carefully wrapped in soft silk, at the bottom of the trunk.
The wedding dress is made of heavy-duty three-dimensional lace and is embroidered with vines and roses.
The neckline features a high stand-up collar design, paired with fluffy puff sleeves, creating a retro yet sophisticated look.
The matching headdress features gradient tassels made of silk flowers and matte pearls.
The long veil was edged with lace.
Just like the surprise she felt when she saw the finished product more than ten years ago, Jiang Si fell in love with it at first sight.
I was worried that the size wouldn't be right, but it fit me surprisingly well.
The main reason is the master craftsman's skill; in addition to two rows of adjustable pearl buttons on the side waist, a wide lace ribbon is also provided on the back for waist cinching.
Aside from being a bit heavy to wear, it's practically flawless.
After changing into her wedding dress, Jiang Si found a double-layered pearl necklace in her jewelry box and paired it with a pair of Mary Jane stilettos.
Before we knew it, almost forty minutes had passed by the end of the process.
Fearing they would get impatient and come looking for her, Jiang Si didn't even have time to put on makeup. She just applied some lipstick to brighten her complexion before lifting her skirt and coming out.
The two little ones were indeed getting restless.
Fortunately, Huo Tingzhou offered to make them small orange lamps, which barely managed to appease them.
At that moment, he was intently peeling the orange in his hand.
Hearing footsteps, Huo Tingzhou subconsciously looked up.
The movement froze instantly.
"Bang--"
Huo Tingzhou was so engrossed in watching that he didn't even realize when the half-peeled orange in his hand fell to the ground.
As luck would have it, the orange rolled twice on the floor and came to rest right in front of Jiang Si's lace-trimmed skirt.
The two little ones aren't much better than their dad.
Just now, the brother and sister were discussing it.
No matter what surprise Mom gives them later, they will all exclaim "Wow!"
When they saw their mother, the two were completely stunned!
I almost forgot to blink.
Finally, it was the voices of Third Uncle and Uncle Zhong that brought the three of them back to their senses.
"Xiaozhou, what are you standing there for? Go and help her up, Sisi's wedding dress is really heavy."
When Xiaoman ordered this wedding dress, both of her parents were there.
According to the experienced tailor, the skirt of this wedding dress has several layers inside and out, weighing at least ten kilograms, and the headdress on her head is also heavy.
Huo Tingzhou then realized what was happening and quickly got up to greet him.
The two little ones were quite perceptive and ran over to hold up the hem of her skirt.
Jiang Si didn't ask them if it looked good or not; the identical expressions of amazement on the faces of the father and his two sons were enough to say everything.
"So, are you satisfied now? Are you all happy?"
The two little ones reacted as slowly as their father, remaining stunned for a few minutes before their exclamations of surprise began to ring out in their ears.
"Mom, are you a fairy?"
"Mom, you are the most beautiful mom in the world!"
"She's prettier than movie stars in magazines! She's prettier than princesses in fairy tales!"
"..."
Jiang Si accepted all the compliments, but the two little ones kept going on and on about how outrageous their words were.
Zhao Zhao hopes she will wear this every day from now on, and her reasons are quite compelling.
In her opinion, her mother lives in a castle-like house, so she should dress like this every day.
Sui Sui hopes her mother can dress like this when picking them up from kindergarten.
This way, all the children in the kindergarten will know that he not only has a cute and smart younger sister, but also a mother who is more beautiful than a fairy!
