Qiu Dashu and Qiu Dashan's family came in almost at the same time. Li Qingmei was busy chattering, and she only glanced at her little granddaughter, called out "Yundou" twice, and then went back to her business.
There were so many people and Huang Duoer had no place to entrust Yundou. Her younger brothers had already plunged into the lively crowd, so she had to take care of little Yundou by herself.
"Mom, what can I do? You said I would do it. You go to the front and see if there is anything missing. Tell Brother Shan to hurry up and make arrangements." Yundou had never seen the people here before. He was a little confused and kept holding on to his mother's trouser leg.
Li Qingmei took a moment to glance at her little granddaughter. "It's okay. Just take care of Xiao Yundou. And keep an eye on the fire in the stove."
He turned around and looked at the dishes at Zhang Wanhua's place. "Aunt Hua, I think the dishes are almost enough. You and my brother's wife can add some flour. I think we'll need to bake two more plates of dry food to make up for it."
Zhang Wanhua kept working, "Okay, don't worry about it, we are here, go ahead and see what I need, I will send Dashan's wife to find you."
Life was really too rushed. Counting up the relatives and friends, her mother's family, big and small, squeezed into one table, the people from the brigade, some of them not so good, had to sit at five tables, and a few of her second son's retired comrades also had to sit at one table, and the old women helping in the kitchen also had to sit at one table...
In total, at least eight tables of banquets had to be prepared. Fortunately, the second brother and his wife were going to the army to hold the banquet, as many leaders and comrades there did not come. Otherwise, if it were not so hasty, she might not have been able to do it.
It was a rare occasion that Qiu Yuling didn't help, as she had to dress up the bride.
The aunt-in-law massaged Wang Xiaotao's face, and Qiu Yuling took over the work behind the scenes. It was not popular to wear makeup or do hair at that time, but she couldn't go without either.
She helped her second sister-in-law burn her hair black with a very fine red willow, drew her eyebrows, took out the rouge she mixed with flower petals, painted her lips red, and combed her hair into two scorpion braids. "Sister Xiaotao, what do you think?"
Wang Xiaotao moved the mirror to the sides. "It looks really good. It's amazing that you can braid such short hair. I'll dress like this tomorrow."
Normally, Wang Aihong shouldn't have come, but she couldn't resist the hustle and bustle, so she ran over eagerly, wanting to see how heroic her future sister-in-law would be.
This time she was impressed. She liked the bride-to-be's makeup and look. "Yuling, dress like this for me later."
Qiu Dashu was talking to someone outside the window when he suddenly heard what his future daughter-in-law said.
I didn't hear clearly what Goudan and the others were saying, I just lowered my head and laughed.
"Third brother, what are you laughing at?" Li Xiangyang didn't think what he just said was funny and was very confused.
"Nothing, I just remembered the embarrassing thing you did in Chaigang when you were a kid."
Li Xiangyang: ...
The wedding on the second day was simple, lively and warm, but no one dared to make a noise in the bridal chamber with Brother Qiu.
Qiu Dahe's eyes were quite intimidating even when he wasn't smiling. Plus, the bride was also very capable. She could easily throw one of them out.
It’s still so far away.
Both the in-laws are so powerful that no one would want to do anything bad.
After entering the bridal chamber, Wang Xiaotao suddenly remembered something and said, "You go to sleep first. I have something to tell Yuling."
Qiu Dahe was so angry that he laughed. He grabbed his young wife and said, "Tell me tomorrow, how can a bride go out at this time? Others think I am incompetent."
Wang Xiaotao had been surrounded by soldiers since she was little, and had heard all sorts of dirty talk. She immediately realized that her man could say no, but he couldn't let others say it...
The next day, as soon as I went out, I met my sister-in-law and my face blushed for a rare time.
Qiu Yuling smiled and called out "Second sister-in-law~". Wang Xiaotao was a little uncomfortable, "When there are no outsiders around, you still call me sister."
"I have no problem with that. I'm just afraid my second brother won't agree."
Qiu Dahe got up early, collected firewood and swept the yard. He had just put down his tools and came over when he heard the whole scene.
"Just call me sister-in-law. You'll get used to it after hearing it so many times."
Wang Xiaotao elbowed the man and pushed him away, "Don't get involved in our affairs."
Huang Duoer also got up, lifted the door curtain and called out "Little sister, second brother's sister-in-law".
They arrived a day early, and Wang Xiaotao hadn't even had a chance to speak to her sister-in-law yet. She wasn't shy anymore and called out cheerfully, "Sister-in-law, is Yundou awake yet?"
"No, I slept late last night and am still sleeping like a pig. But the three little brothers are awake and came out right away."
After Qiu Yuling called everyone, she left the place to her sisters-in-law and went to the kitchen to see what breakfast her mother had prepared.
Li Qingmei was afraid her daughter would be picky, so she quickly lifted the lid of the basin. "These are the leftover stews from yesterday. No one has touched them. Heat them up and add some dry food. Each person can have a bowl of oil tea. We'll kill the chicken at noon."
"I don't mind anything. Look how anxious you are. What's wrong? Are you happy now that your worries have been relieved?" Qiu Yuling touched her mother's shoulder and asked with a smile.
Li Qingmei put the bowls in place and said, "Be happy. There is a whole house full of people waiting for me to serve them. I am waiting to marry another one and divide them up one by one so that they can enjoy the happiness with my daughter."
Qiu Yuling couldn't help laughing, "It's okay, they're only here for a few days, just treat them as guests. I'm here with you, and we don't get together that often anyway, so don't pick on them. Oh, and don't let your second sister-in-law see through it and think you're targeting her.
Besides, look at how hardworking my elder and second brothers are. They rush to work in and out of the house early in the morning. Don't always argue with my eldest sister-in-law. People outside think we are biased towards boys. Don't you like Xiao Yundou when you see him?"
Qiu Yuling was also helpless. Her mother was the kind of person who would think everything was fine with you when she thought you were doing well, but when she thought you were not doing well, she would think your loud breathing was disturbing her.
This is how it is with Huang Duoer now. Ever since the falling out when they were leaving during the Chinese New Year, it was as if some kind of seal had been broken, and they could never go back to the way they were at the beginning, as close as mother and daughter.
As a result, Wang Xiaotao did not catch up with the good times. Although her mother did not think of setting rules, she did not think ahead like her first daughter-in-law.
"Mom, you have to smile more, you know, only when you smile at life will life smile back at you." He brought a bowl of poisonous chicken soup and pinched her mother's neck to force it into her mouth.
Li Qingmei wasn't someone who didn't understand things. She sighed and said, "Mom knows everything. Go and call them to eat."
Then he thought of something and called Qiu Yuling back. "By the way, don't tell your second sister-in-law about these bullshit things. Don't let family disgrace be made public. Don't embarrass your eldest brother, understand?"
"I know~ I'm not three years old~"
While they were talking, a group of people came in, including several brothers, their sisters-in-law, and three little nephews.
