Bridesmaids
Chen Jin and Shen Baichuan stayed outside for the whole afternoon and only returned to Shen's house for dinner in the evening.
Knowing that Chen would rush back to Rong City the next morning, and Shen Baichuan would follow him back, the two old men were a little disappointed.
Uncle Shen said, "You are all school teachers, and it's winter vacation, so why not stay for a few more days? Xiao Chen is also in Hong Kong so he can go out and see more."
Without waiting for them to speak, Ms. Shen said, "In addition to their school work, Sanmei and Baichuan both run companies. It's the end of the year, and they have a lot of things to do."
"It's not like my third sister hasn't been to Hong Kong before, but nothing has changed. My third sister said that she and Baichuan will fly over to visit grandpa and grandma when they have time."
"Yes, work is more important. There is no need for them to come back to see us. It was the same when we went to Rong City. We haven't been back for decades..."
Shen Baichuan’s two uncles looked at each other, both avoided the topic, and talked about Ms. Shen’s wedding tomorrow.
I stayed in the Shen family's old house for a long time at night before returning to Ms. Shen's home.
Ms. Shen brought her toiletries and some clothes for tomorrow, saying they were a pair with Shen Baichuan's.
Ms. Shen and George did not invite best men or bridesmaids, so the two of them will have to follow Ms. Shen around for a whole day tomorrow.
"This house was registered under Baichuan's name when we bought it. When you return to Hong Kong in the future, you can just live at home. It's convenient."
"Okay." Chen Jin nodded in agreement.
The question of where to stay at night was discussed for a long time at the old house. Shen Baichuan's grandparents wanted them to live in the old house, but Shen Baichuan used Ms. Shen as an excuse, saying that he had something to say to Ms. Shen, so he got away.
Ms. Shen insisted on going out of the house here, and Shen Baichuan’s grandparents couldn’t stop her even if they wanted to.
Shen Baichuan came over and knocked on the door, asking Chen Jin what else he needed.
"No." Chen Jin said: "Ms. Shen has prepared everything, nothing is missing."
"Well, it's been a busy day today, so go wash up and go to bed early."
Ms. Shen glared at him. Was she afraid that she would say something that shouldn’t be said to her third sister? Find an excuse to ask her to go out so as not to disturb the third sister's rest?
However, they came from Rong City today, went to the old house to meet the elders and went shopping, so they must be tired, and they have to attend the wedding tomorrow...
"Third sister, go to bed early. Come to my room tomorrow morning after you've washed up and put on your makeup."
When Ms. Shen went out, she called Shen Baichuan up and said, “You said you wanted to say something to me, let me hear what you have to say?”
"The truth is not pleasant to hear. You should go to bed early. It's getting late. There will be many nice things to say when you get married tomorrow."
Seeing Chen Jin close the door, Shen Baichuan went upstairs without hesitation.
There are guest rooms on the second and third floors, so Ms. Shen insisted on arranging for Chen Jin to live on the second floor, saying that this would make things more reassuring.
My own mother is on guard against him, snort...
The next morning, Chen Jin was awakened by the alarm clock. After checking the time, he quickly washed, changed clothes and went out.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw that Ms. Shen's room door was open, and several people were coming and going, all of them coming to deliver clothes and do styling.
These people looked at Chen Jin curiously and quietly. They had come to give Ms. Shen clothes and do styling for her many times. They only knew that Ms. Shen had only a son, but didn't know that she also had a daughter.
"Third sister, are you awake? Come over here and help me choose a color." Ms. Shen waved to Chen Jin who was standing at the door.
Chen Jin looked at the colors and it seemed like there was no difference between them and he couldn't choose one at all.
Seeing her tangled look, Ms. Shen couldn't help but laugh, "Okay, I won't embarrass you. Don't say you can't see the difference. I can't tell the difference either. Let the professionals choose."
Chen Jin breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "I can still choose from different colors, but I can't tell the difference if they look almost the same."
Chen Jin looked at Ms. Shen in the mirror and suddenly realized that Shen Baichuan and Ms. Shen actually looked alike.
It's just that Ms. Shen has a gentle temperament, and Shen Baichuan looks cold on the surface, so it feels like they are only three-quarters alike, but if you look closely, they are still five-quarters alike.
If Shen Baichuan also wore this wedding dress... Oh, I can't think about it anymore.
As he was absorbed in his thoughts, his eyes suddenly met with Ms. Shen's, and Chen Jin smiled embarrassedly.
Ms. Shen couldn't help but laugh along, but didn't let her continue watching here. Instead, she urged her to go downstairs for breakfast, and said that there were a lot of procedures today and she should have a full breakfast.
"It's just right to come up and change clothes and put on makeup after you finish eating."
Coincidentally, Shen Baichuan also came downstairs to look for her at this time.
When he first saw Ms. Shen in her wedding dress, Shen Baichuan was in a trance. She pursed her lips and asked Chen Jin to go downstairs for breakfast.
As a result, Chen Jin pinched the back of his hand, and then said loudly: “Shen Baichuan, is Ms. Shen particularly beautiful today?”
Ms. Shen looked over with a smile on her face. It is obvious at first glance that the two of them did not collude in their testimony in advance.
Shen Baichuan hesitated, cleared his throat, and then quickly lowered his voice and said, "It is very beautiful."
Chen Jin clicked his tongue and glared at him: Can you please praise me openly?
Ms. Shen smiled so much that tears welled up in her eyes. She waved her hand in pretended impatience, urging them to go downstairs and have breakfast quickly and not get in the way here.
As soon as she came down the stairs, Shen Baichuan said to her: “Ms. Shen and I are usually like this.”
"I see." Chen Jin shrugged, and almost laughed out loud when he thought about what he had just thought.
Shen Baichuan keenly noticed that this laugh was malicious, but when he looked over, Chen Jin looked serious again.
"You and Ms. Shen, didn't you arrange any special activities for me at the wedding?"
Chen Jin was shocked and asked, "Is it possible to do this? For example, what are the steps? Tell me so I can take a look."
"...I was just talking nonsense." Shen Baichuan avoided her probing gaze and urged, "Eat quickly, grandpa and grandma will be here soon."
"Humph, forget it. I'll ask Ms. Shen later."
The people from the Shen family arrived quickly, almost as soon as they put down their bowls and chopsticks.
Fortunately, Chen Jin and Shen Baichuan were going to change their clothes and dress up, so they didn't need to call anyone.
When Shen Baichuan changed his clothes and came over, Chen Jin just started to put on makeup.
Ms. Shen came out after packing up, and just adjusted the position of his bow tie, and said with satisfaction: "It matches the third sister's clothes very well."
While Ms. Shen went downstairs to talk to the Shen family, Chen Jin and Shen Baichuan whispered, “This is my first time as a bridesmaid.”
The first time I served as a bridesmaid was for Ms. Shen.
Shen Baichuan held her hand and smiled, “What a coincidence.”
At twelve o'clock noon, George came to pick up the bride, and the whole family went to the hotel together.
This time I met more people.
All the relatives and friends of the Shen family came. Chen Jin and Shen Baichuan followed Ms. Shen around the venue. Ms. Shen introduced her to who was coming, and she followed and called out to them. She won't call anyone unless they introduce themselves.
She wasn’t kidding, it was Ms. Shen and George who were getting married, but now George and Shen Baichuan were like two bodyguards…
There was no special part in the middle, but she almost laughed out loud when she saw Shen Baichuan secretly relieved.
They couldn't relax until all the guests had left.
She always knew being a bridesmaid wasn't easy, but she didn't know it was so tiring. My legs are sore from walking today, it's like climbing a mountain.
However, today went smoothly and it was worth the effort.
"Third sister, Baichuan, come over and eat some more."
"Yeah, here it comes." Chen Jin was hungry this morning. He could only find time to eat something when Ms. Shen went to change into a dress, but he didn't eat enough due to the short time.
After the banquet here is over, Ms. Shen and George will go back to their new house later.
Chen Jin talked a lot with Ms. Shen, and Shen Baichuan was still standing aside with his eyes downcast, not knowing what he was thinking.
Until Ms. Shen and George drove away, Chen Jin sighed greatly, and when he turned around, he saw that Shen Baichuan's eyes were red.
Just as Shen Baichuan was about to say he was leaving, Chen Jin hugged him over, patted him on the back, and then said, “It’s okay, we’re going home anyway.”
The heat in his eyes, which had finally subsided, rose up again.
Chen Jin walked a few steps and found that someone had not followed him. He turned around, put his hands on his hips and glared at him, saying fiercely, "That's enough. Stop being so hypocritical. Let's go quickly. We have to go back to Rong City tomorrow. I haven't bought gifts for my family yet."
Shen Baichuan chuckled, quickened his pace and followed her, listening to her mumbling about what she wanted to buy for her family.
The next morning, Chen Jin stuffed part of the gifts he bought into Shen Baichuan’s suitcase.
I brought a lot of things when I came, and I took a lot of things with me when I left.
The gifts from the elders of the Shen family alone took up a lot of space.
Ms. Shen and George came over to see them off, and this time it was finally not Chen Jin who was talking to Ms. Shen.
Shen Baichuan and Ms. Shen looked at each other for a long time before Shen Baichuan said, “Take good care of yourself outside. If you want to come back, come back. If you don’t want to come back here, go to Rong City.”
"Go to Rong City and live with you? Aren't you afraid that I will disturb you?" Ms. Shen rarely joked.
After a pause, Shen Baichuan’s mouth twitched, and he said: “Houses in Rong City are not as expensive as those in Hong Kong. I can still afford to buy two buildings.”
Ms. Shen was about to respond, but swallowed her words again and said with relief: “Just live your own life, don’t worry about me.”
Looking at Chen Jin who was quietly watching them beside him, he suddenly felt that there was nothing to worry about.
After the car drove away, the person behind it had become a small black dot. Chen Jin patted Shen Baichuan’s hand and asked him, “My company will hold an annual meeting this afternoon, do you want to go to see it?”
"Is it okay? If it's okay, then I'll go over." Shen Baichuan held her hand in reverse and suddenly said, "Your palm is a little hot."
Chen Jin quickly pulled out his hand and covered his face to feel it, and said, "No, it's just normal temperature."
Then he glanced at his thin coat with disdain and said, "You should be more careful. Think about the last time... mmm..."
She wanted to say: Think about the last time you had a cold and your throat was so tight that you couldn’t speak.
But Shen Baichuan covered his mouth and couldn’t say anything.
"You dare to cover my mouth and stop me from speaking. Just now, Ms. Shen told you to be nicer to me. Don't you think that you can be arrogant now that Ms. Shen has gone abroad and can no longer control you?"
Shen Baichuan chuckled, “She couldn’t control me before.”
"You are still talking nonsense. Did anyone have trouble sleeping last night? Let me see. Someone here is about to turn into a panda."
Being interrupted by her like this, Shen Baichuan felt his mood become excited. I began to look forward to what she said, the annual meeting would be held in the afternoon and he would go on stage to draw lots for employees.
"Then what identity should I use to draw the lottery?"
Chen Jin blinked and said, "Future boss lady?"
After saying that, she couldn't help but burst out laughing, "My company's employees privately call you the future boss's wife. Are you surprised?"
She didn't know it at first, after all, the employees would definitely not talk about her private affairs in front of her. But she has a cousin Mengchong. Many people in the furniture company don’t know that cousin Mengchong is her relative. When they met at dinner, she talked about Shen Baichuan with cousin Mengchong.
Shen Baichuan raised his eyebrows and said, "It's a courtesy to return the favor. Our company will also invite the future boss lady to participate in the lottery."
"Hey, no problem."
After they got off the car, the driver in the front finally breathed a sigh of relief: Those two guys are really good at talking, they haven't stopped since they got on the car!
As soon as they got back to Rong City and got into Uncle Wu's car, Chen Jin said, "Let's go to the Rose Garden first, and have lunch at Uncle San's house at noon."
Pick up Daju by the way.
Chen Jin thought that Daju would definitely be angry with her when he saw her. Based on Daju's past behavior when he was angry, he would most likely give her a few claws.
However, when she arrived at her third uncle's house, Daju was quite happy to see her and showed no sign of being angry at all. After just a few words of praise, as soon as the third uncle called out, Daju ran over and circled around the third uncle.
While eating, my third uncle would hold Daju in his arms and feed him from time to time. Daju was very happy.
At this time, Chen Jin didn't feel anything was wrong.
The third uncle and aunt asked them about their past wedding experiences. Chen Jin handed them gifts while returning, all of which were bought at the store owned by Shen Baichuan's eldest aunt.
Of course, she wasn’t that rich, so the golden one she bought was relatively small. But the workmanship was beautiful, and when my third aunt opened it and saw it, she kept saying that she liked it.
As for other people’s, I can only give them another day.
"The company is going to hold an annual meeting this afternoon. Uncle and aunt, are you going to watch it?"
Third uncle waved his hand and said, "We won't go. We've agreed with Chen Wu and the others to go buy some New Year's goods first, so we don't have to worry about it tomorrow."
“Okay, let’s go.” Chen Jin asked Shen Baichuan to push the suitcase, clapped his hands, and said, “Daju, let’s go.”
The big orange cat glanced at her, then lay on the carpet unmoved, his ears perked up.
I called out several times, but no one responded.
Chen Jin let out a "hey" and rolled up his sleeves to catch the cat. The big orange cat was still struggling and crying.
My third uncle said, "Just leave it here. It will be fine with me for the next two days."
I don’t know how much delicious food my third uncle feeds it every day, so of course it is fine.
If you keep raising it like this, it will become a fat cat!
Chen Jin turned around and left with the cat in his arms, calling out to Shen Baichuan, “Go, go.”
