Nanxi and the old uncle chatted until it was almost dark. The old uncle drank a little too much, and only left after a younger brother from the village came to keep him company.
After returning to the Nan family, Nanxi gave the things given by his uncle and the name card to Aunt Ying, asking her to keep them and burn them for the ancestors to see when the ancestral hall was opened and the family tree was included.
Aunt Ying looked at them and nodded repeatedly, "Nan Xiao, Nan Zhao, these two names are great, really well chosen. Old uncle is partial to you. I heard before that the grandson of the eldest Fang family came to him to ask for a name, but he looked at the man's horoscope and said that he was incapable of giving a name, and that he would be in trouble if he didn't choose a good name in the future."
Nanxi laughed and said, "Great grandfather's family has never had any contact with us. They only remember to return to the Nan family when something happens. Moreover, Great grandfather's son originally married into the Sun family. They are not on the family tree. It would be strange for my uncle to punish them."
"That's right. Their family was sent to a reformatory before, and they couldn't even make ends meet after returning to the city. The old man served in the army to earn a salary, and they came to our house and insisted that he marry their son.
Your great-grandfather passed away, and your great-grandmother was partial to you. They extorted all your three years' wages. If it weren't for the master's stubborn temper at the time, and if he hadn't gotten angry and opened the ancestral hall to drive them out, who knows how much blood they would have sucked from the Nan family."
"How do you know all this?" Nanxi asked curiously.
Aunt Ying smiled and said, "When people get old, they like to reminisce about the past. The old man used to sit in the small garden and talk about his youth. I listened to him for more than ten years and I can remember it by heart..."
At this time, the servant came over and said that Wu Jie and Ba Chuang had already gone to bed, and the guests had been arranged.
Nanxi then got up and went to Ouyang Zhen's room.
Ouyang Zhen didn't really believe in these supernatural things, but since it concerned her son, she had to take it seriously. She took the talisman of the lightning-struck wood and took Nanxi's hand.
"Xixi, thank you. As a mother, I never thought it would come to this."
Nanxi smiled and said, "As he should, Ajie is a good boy. I don't want him to go astray in the future. I originally just wanted to ask Ajie if not studying now will affect his future prospects, but I didn't expect my uncle to say this.
Sister-in-law, compared to studying, I hope Ajie is healthy and safe more. You give this to Ajie and tell him to never leave it. It is better to be safe than sorry.
Back then, I was worried about A-lu, so I asked my uncle for this talisman. A-lu now carries it with him wherever he goes, hoping it can also bless A-jie and turn misfortune into good fortune.
Ouyang Zhen's eyes were misty, and he held her hand for a long time without saying a word.
As the child grows older, the mother never stops worrying.
The next morning, Nanxi got up early. She had an appointment to try on makeup and wedding dresses. Her wedding dress was a phoenix coronet and bridal robe. It was said that the owner of the other studio personally spent a week in a museum, copied each embroidery piece at a time, and asked a master to hand-embroider it. It was not completed until yesterday.
Originally, she was not in a hurry to try on makeup so early, but Brother Qian kept calling her to ask her to try on makeup and clothes first, so she had to change her plans.
"Don't pay attention to him. We paid the money. It's not his wedding. He almost ran away during his own wedding but was intercepted by his father and his men. Now that I'm getting married, he's actively joining in." In the video, Baru has already sat in the office, watching his wife do her skin care and chatting with her.
Nanxi smiled and rubbed the cream on her face. "I guess it's because other people have been ignoring him, so he's making excuses. After all, they can't make things too awkward with me."
After Nanxi finished speaking, she asked curiously, "Husband, what kind of person is your sister-in-law? Have you seen her?"
Baru thought for a moment, "I've only met him once or twice, never really talked. A few years ago, I met Qian Ge when he was drunk and I went to pick him up. He was a nice guy. At the time, Qian Ge was having an affair with his ex-girlfriend, which hurt her feelings. Later, when she wanted a divorce, he regretted it and used every trick in his power to cling to her, but she refused to leave. It took all these years."
Balu lazily explained to his wife, "Don't pay attention to him. Just let it be. He did it all on his own."
"Then what should I call her when I meet her? Sister-in-law or Miss Yan? Or Teacher Yan?"
The handsome man opposite frowned and said, "Call me whatever you like. It's just a name."
Nanxi knew that her straight husband would not consider these things at all. After thinking for a while, she said, "Then what do you call me? Of course I will do as you wish."
"I call her sister-in-law. At first, Brother Qian didn't let me call her sister-in-law, so I called her Sister Yan. Later, we ran into each other once and I called her Sister Yan, and he kicked me again, so I changed my name."
Nanxi showed sympathy, "Poor my Dailong."
Baru's expression was indescribable. "Nan Xiaoxi, you're just taking advantage of my absence to seduce me, aren't you?"
"No, you're just thinking too much." Nanxi finished applying the hand cream.
"Okay, husband, Aunt Ying is knocking on the door. I guess someone has arrived. I won't talk to you for now."
The person on the other end didn't speak or hang up.
The woman glared at him angrily, and then brought her red lips a few inches closer through the screen. "Kiss."
The man finally smiled. "You little heartless thing. Remember to call me via video. I'm always available."
"I understand." Nanxi said and walked out. Balu didn't hang up the video until he saw the door was closed.
Yana, Liang Lu and Yin Yin had already taken the children to the restaurant for breakfast. She got up early in the morning and ate something in advance. Now she was waiting for guests in the living room.
After a while, Xiaoyu and Aunt Ying came in with a few people. The woman in front was wearing an indigo cheongsam, with long straight black hair and a calm face. She looked like a college student from the old days of the Republic of China. She was gentle and kind, not competing with other flowers for spring, but so beautiful that it made people's eyes shine.
