Zheng Xinyue was almost moved to tears, and said as she put the bracelet on her wrist.
"Nian Nian, you are so nice."
Yang Niannian laughed, "Okay! Don't cry. If you cry and ruin your makeup, it will be too late to put it back on."
When Zheng Xinyue heard this, she quickly swallowed back the tears that were about to flow out, and looked in the mirror to make sure that her makeup was not smudged.
Miao Qinglan was very happy that Zheng Xinyue could meet such a good friend. She was smiling with satisfaction, but suddenly she remembered that Yang Niannian had not eaten yet, so she quickly took two eggs and handed them to her.
"Niannian, eat some eggs to fill your stomach. The porridge is a little cold, so don't drink it."
Yang Niannian took the egg and started eating without hesitation. Zheng Xinyue looked at herself in the mirror happily, and her face turned red when she thought of the scene when Qin Aonan saw her.
There is a custom here that the newlyweds must enter the husband's house before twelve o'clock, otherwise it will be unlucky, so the groom's side also came to pick up the bride relatively early, arriving at just eight o'clock.
Zheng Haitian called Miao Qinglan to go out and welcome the bride-cooking party into the bridal chamber. When Qin Aonan saw Zheng Xinyue's appearance, his eyes widened. It was only after Lu Nianfei pushed him that he came back to his senses.
This scene made everyone present burst into laughter.
The Qin family attached great importance to their son's wedding. The red carpet was laid from the door of the new house to the downstairs of the hotel. According to local customs, the bride's family members were not allowed to follow her to the groom's house.
Accompanied by Qin Aonan's brother-in-law, they went to the hotel first.
The Qin family specially booked a large hotel, which was a former state-owned hotel and is now privately owned.
The Qin family is a well-known family, and those who came to the wedding did not dare to act rashly, so there were no bad wedding pranks. Except for the impolite makeup artist, the whole wedding went smoothly.
Yang Niannian attended the party as a member of her mother's family and was seated at Zheng Haitian's table. He had a pleased smile on his face the whole time.
"Xinyue has finally grown up, started a family, and found her own happiness. The heavy stone in my heart has finally fallen to the ground."
Yang Niannian said crisply, "Deputy Captain Qin will definitely treat Xinyue well in the future."
Miao Qinglan laughed, "You don't know, he has been suffering from insomnia these past few days. He never had this problem when I married him."
Zheng Haitian sighed, "Xinyue has been spoiled by us all these years, and now she has grown up and started a family. I am always worried."
Miao Qinglan said angrily.
"Why are you worried? Ao Nan loves Xinyue very much, and her parents-in-law are also sensible people who treat Xinyue as their daughter. Now that she is married, there are more people who love her, so don't worry about it."
Zheng Haitian thought about it and it seemed to be the same, so he couldn't help but laugh.
Qin Aonan's brother-in-law also tactfully interrupted to change the subject and raised his glass to toast.
Lu Nianfei immediately picked up the wine glass, and even Lu Shishen and Yu Sui, who usually didn't drink, followed suit and drank a little.
Yang Niannian stole a glance at Lu Shishen and saw that his throat was slightly rolling, his face did not turn red even after drinking, he was still as handsome as ever, and even more charming. Seeing this made her feel itchy in her heart, and she whispered with sparkling eyes.
"I have always disliked men who like to drink, but now I find that sometimes men who drink can be quite handsome."
Lu Shishen felt a little uncomfortable when he saw her shining eyes. He calmly picked up a piece of meat and put it in her bowl, trying to divert her attention.
"Eat some vegetables."
Yang Niannian said with a smile.
"Don't worry about me, just drink your wine."
Lu Shishen, "..."
Lu Nianfei noticed the interaction between the two and looked at Lu Shishen with a teasing look. He couldn't believe that a man as tough as a lump of iron could have such a tender side.
It is true that even a hero cannot resist the temptation of a beautiful woman. What the ancients said is a summary of experience.
His eyes darkened a little as he thought of something. Lao Qin was already married, so it was time for him to take some action.
…
No one was a heavy drinker, so each of them only drank about two taels of wine.
On the afternoon of the wedding day, Zheng Haitian and Lu Nianfei took the train back to Haicheng.
According to custom, Qin Aonan will bring Zheng Xinyue back home three days later, so Zheng Haitian has to go back in advance to prepare.
Yu Sui also bought a ticket for that evening and returned to Beijing.
Lu Shishen took Yang Niannian for a walk in the city, bought some snacks and returned to his hometown. He hadn't been home for a long time, and it was a rare holiday, so he had to go back home to visit.
Ma Xiuzhu was visiting the village chief's home. When she heard that her youngest son had returned, she trotted back home, changing her previous behavior and suddenly becoming generous.
He happily gave orders to his eldest son.
"Qingyuan, go catch a big rooster and kill it. Your brother and sister-in-law finally came back, let's have a good meal."
Then he said to Yang Niannian and Lu Shishen, "You guys sit in the main room and rest. I'll go boil some water to remove the chicken feathers."
Yang Niannian was stunned and came close to Lu Shishen and whispered.
"My mother-in-law has really changed. She is willing to kill the rooster. Isn't this her lifeblood?"
Lu Shishen replied in a low voice, "I deducted her alimony for this year."
Yang Niannian opened her eyes wide, "You have really hit my mother-in-law's weak spot! No wonder she was willing to kill the chicken."
At this moment, Ma Xiuzhu was bending over and pumping the well with all her might to fetch water for plucking the chicken feathers, and she felt a little nervous.
She never dared to tell her husband about the deduction of alimony for her youngest son. Her husband thought that her youngest son had paid for the hospitalization and that was why he was not sending her living expenses for the time being, so she did not take it seriously.
Now that her youngest son is back, she is worried about letting the cat out of the bag, so doesn't she have to behave better?
Guan Ailian brought a pot of cooked peanuts from the kitchen into the main room.
"Shi Shen, sister-in-law, have some peanuts. These are the new peanuts this year. They are delicious."
Yang Niannian didn't hesitate to grab a handful of peanuts and started eating. Thinking about how she hadn't seen her child since she came back, she asked.
“Where are all the kids?”
Guan Ailian gets a headache when she talks about children.
"Dad took them to the fields. The noise was a headache at home. It's quieter to go weeding in the fields with dad. With more children, there's no free time all day. The noise is a headache."
"Ailian, come and give me a hand." Ma Xiuzhu's voice came from outside.
"I'm here." Guan Ailian responded, then turned to Yang Niannian and whispered, "Sister-in-law, you should eat more tonight. It's not easy to eat the chickens that our mother-in-law feeds. I asked Qingyuan to catch a big one, which weighs at least 6 or 7 kilograms."
Yang Niannian suppressed her laughter and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law! I will definitely eat as much as I can."
Guan Ailian went to the kitchen with a smile, and before long, the sound of children's noise could be heard outside the door.
"Mom, mom, I heard that uncle and aunt are back."
Lu Qingyuan was killing chickens in the yard. When he heard the child's words, he smiled and said.
"I'm back. I'm in the main room. Go in and call them."
The three children ran into the main room excitedly, but became reserved when they saw Lu Shishen and Yang Niannian.
Lu Xingxing looked like a grown-up girl now. She smiled shyly, "Uncle, Auntie."
Lu Tiantian immediately followed and called out, "Uncle, Auntie."
Baby Lu was too young to remember anything before, and now he opened his round eyes and dared not say a word.
Yang Niannian was amused by the cute appearance of the three children and took out a large bag of snacks from her luggage bag and handed it to Lu Xingxing.
"Here, these are the snacks I bought for you. Eat them together."
