Chapter 170: The Bride at the Courtyard
He Cuicui's aunt Sun Junfang was about to go out to ask her sisters about something after dinner at home. When she came downstairs, she found that there were groups of three or four people gathering downstairs.
I noticed a stranger coming into the crowd, but I didn't pay much attention to him. I walked to the side and listened to a few words. The steps I took just now got stuck to the ground and didn't move.
"Old sisters, do you have anyone suitable here? I heard that the boys and girls in your area are all very good."
"People who ask me to introduce them to potential partners always look at me with a higher regard when they hear that someone is from our area."
"That's right. We are all honest people in the family compound. We don't do anything crooked."
"You also introduced someone?"
"Well, when I get older, I like to do good things and bring people together. Big sister, please continue."
"Most of the suitable young ladies and young men in our area have found each other."
"You forgot, that girl Cuicui still doesn't have a boyfriend and she's already in her twenties."
"Yes, that girl Cuicui, but she has good conditions and a job. She works in a department store."
"He's okay, but a little silly. We've been dating several times, but it hasn't worked out yet."
A person nearby saw Sun Junfang coming down the stairs and bumped into the person who was speaking.
When Jin Qiaofeng turned around, she saw a female comrade looking at her warily. She came here today specifically to inquire about something.
"Junfang, did your Cuicui's matchmaking go through this time?"
When Jin Qiaofeng heard this, her eyes lit up and she moved forward involuntarily.
"Sister, I finally found you. Our Cuicui is such a good girl, and I just happen to have a young man who is a good match for her."
Sun Junfang was a little unhappy when she heard her neighbors talking about her family.
I was pulled over by Jin Qiaofeng without paying attention. Her enthusiasm was really irresistible.
After being muttered to by Jin Qiaofeng, Sun Junfang agreed to come back and talk to Cuicui about the date.
…
May Day is coming soon. It may be a blessing from God on the day Zhao Jingxiang and Xiao Li get married.
The weather was very good, with a suitable temperature, sunny and a slight breeze.
After the Xie family finished their meal, they all rushed to the front yard to help.
The compound was bustling early in the morning with people walking around.
Old Zhao cleaned his house inside and out, taking care of the dust in every corner.
When Lin Xiaotong entered the room, she saw Zhao Jingxiang sitting at the table in front of the window, wearing a red dress.
The small room was crowded with people. Thirty-six legs, chests and dressing tables were placed against the wall.
There were several red quilts with flowers on the bed, and red wedding characters were pasted on the wall.
The deft Diao Yulian was helping to style her hair. When Hu Tou saw the beautiful bride, he could hardly walk and stared at her without blinking.
Wu Jiabao was playing with firecrackers at the door and insisted on dragging Song Chenlie along.
He accidentally fell at Wu Shengli's feet and jumped three feet high.
"You little bastard, keep throwing yourself at your father and I'll spank you."
Wu Shengli pretended to be angry, which made Wu Jiabao scream and jump around in the yard.
Lin Xiaotong was standing in a position where she could just see the furry little hairs on Zhao Jingxiang's face clearly visible in the sunlight.
Diao Yulian used all her skills to create a stylish and beautiful hairstyle.
Jin Qiaofeng leaned against the door, eating melon seeds, making a crackling sound.
"Hey, Diao Yulian, your skills have improved again."
"That's something I wouldn't normally do."
In order to curry favor with the factory director's daughter-in-law, Diao Yulian got up early in the morning and started working.
"Okay."
Finally it was done. I shook my hands and my arms were so sore.
"Shizuka looks so much more beautiful and elegant in this red dress."
Zhao Jingxiang, who was sitting, had a flushed face and a red flower pinned to her chest. She was truly more beautiful than the flower.
Nowadays, weddings are relatively simple and do not have many complicated ceremonies.
Friends and relatives gave some useful things as gifts, such as washbasins, pillowcases, towels, badges of great men, etc. printed with the Double Happiness pattern.
Gao Xiulan gave Lin Xiaotong some money and asked her to buy a pair of pillowcases in nice water colors at the department store.
Zhang Dazui and Yu Afen gave washbasins, Jin Qiaofeng also gave a red towel, and Yang Shujuan gave a collection of quotations and a bar of soap.
Diao Yulian was stingy and only gave a badge of a great man as a gift, but she also offered to help the bride with her makeup.
Getting married is a big happy event. Families that can afford it will go to department stores to buy cloth and make a new dress to wear on the wedding day, which is both decent and festive.
If female comrades could wear red, they would be so enviable.
Most gay men like to wear Zhongshan suits, which make them look particularly tall and straight.
"Here he comes. Hey, the groom is pretty good looking too."
There was a commotion at the door, and Xiao Li came in wearing a Zhongshan suit and pushing a brand new Type 58 bicycle. A team of bicycles was parked outside the yard.
Following behind was a young man carrying a bag of candy in his hand, walking as he went.
Hu Tou and the other two felt that they were so happy today that they had so many candies that they couldn’t even hold them all in their hands.
While the parents weren't paying attention, he stuffed the money into his pocket, and soon the pocket was bulging.
Wu Jiabao still felt guilty and kept covering his pockets with his little hands as they were about to overflow.
Wu Shengli had already noticed the boy's little tricks, and while the child was not paying attention, he secretly smuggled a few coins from his son's pocket.
It was almost successful, but after seeing this, Song Chenlie poked his playmate with his hand.
Wu Jiabao turned around and caught the man red-handed, and knocked the candy-stealing hand away with one blow.
Diao Yulian, who was busy grabbing candy, happened to see it and glanced at her man with displeasure.
"Wu Shengli, how dare you snatch candy from your son?"
"Lilililil~"
Wu Jiabao even made a face at his father.
As soon as Xiao Li came in and saw Zhao Jingxiang dressed neatly, he smiled foolishly and his mouth widened.
His excited voice rose a notch, he held his father-in-law's hand, and said loudly: "Dad, I'm here to pick up Shizuka."
"good!"
Ernengzi, who was watching from the side, was the first to start making a noise, and the atmosphere became very lively.
Zhao Dahai patted his eldest son-in-law on the shoulder, and the old father's face showed reluctance but more happiness.
The daughter I raised with great effort has found a partner and is about to start a family.
Xiao Li went into the house to pick someone up, and his steps felt trembling.
When I see my beautiful wife, my heart feels as sweet as honey.
Lin Xiaotong was also watching from the side, with a piece of candy in her mouth, her cheeks bulging.
Today I wore a light green floral top that was made by Gao Xiulan, and it even had ruffles on the cuffs.
After the short hair grew longer, it was tied into a short ponytail.
Because she eats well, drinks well, sleeps well and has no worries, she looks very healthy, has a fair face and looks very energetic.
She held Gao Xiulan's arm, watched Xiao Li suddenly pick up Zhao Jingxiang, and joined in the cheering.
When Zhao Dahai saw this scene, his eyes became sore and he turned his back and wiped his tears with his sleeves.
After picking up the person, Xiao Li rode the new bike to take his new wife with him.
The people in the compound locked the door and followed the man to his place to prepare for the wedding banquet.
Lin Xiaotong went out holding Gao Xiulan's arm. She was very excited. They were going to the food factory to attend the wedding, and the food should be good.
Other people in the compound thought the same thing. Some aunts even brought their own bowls, so they would have to bear the consequences if they couldn't finish the food.
The children in the compound endured eating less in the morning, waiting for a good meal at noon.
If you eat too much in the morning, you won’t be able to fit in all the delicious food for lunch.
