Chapter 46: One Red and One Green
On the day of the banquet, as soon as the sky was slightly bright, all the Lin family members got up and dressed.
Everyone, from adults to children, had changed into new clothes and shoes, their faces beaming with smiles as they ran around making arrangements. Even Sanya was sent off to deliver a letter. The Lin family wasn't needed for any work today; it had been contracted out to well-connected villagers. Their only responsibility was to greet and see off guests and to get them to work.
Several families that were related to the Lin family got up early and came after having breakfast. The men borrowed ox carts to help pull the bowls, plates, chopsticks, and set up the tables and chairs so that people who came to the banquet would have a place to sit.
The woman would go to the yard to wash and pick vegetables, and when the borrowed bowls, plates, chopsticks and pots were delivered, she would quickly wash them and set them aside.
The whole yard was filled with voices and the clattering of bowls and pans. Lin Qingqing was woken up by them. There was no bride-picking ceremony today, so the Lin family did not wake her up early in the morning.
Song Yiyuan was wearing black pants with an army green shirt today, with a big red flower on his chest. He was 1.85 meters tall, and his fair and handsome face was even more eye-catching. Standing with the villagers, he was very eye-catching.
The Lin family's aunts arrived one after another around eight in the morning, a large group of them, with their families. The eldest, second, and third Lin aunts were all married to rural men who worked the land and scraped for a living. They were under forty but looked more like they were in their fifties, especially the eldest aunt, who had a hint of white in her hair.
Several aunts came to the Lin family's house and were shocked to see the Lin family's son-in-law standing out in the crowd. They rolled their eyes in shock.
My second brother's son-in-law is tall, handsome, and affable. He looks like a city dweller, and an officer at that? What kind of luck is this?
They thought their son-in-law was excellent, and they didn't know what words to use to describe him.
In their minds, local scroungers and military officers are two completely different types of people. I heard that the person is from the capital, a place they don't even want to go to.
They knew what their niece was like, so how could they be a good match?
The aunts were not only full of doubts, but also very worried about their niece's future.
At this time, Lin Qingqing was slowly changing clothes in the main room. The yard was too noisy. Today, she was the protagonist, so if she left the room, everyone would gather around her and make a lot of noise.
But others did not allow her to hide. Since several aunts had come, they naturally wanted to see the lady. So Li Zhaodi led several aunts to knock on the door.
"His little aunt, you're up now. The eldest, second, and third aunts are here to see you."
"I'm coming, I'm coming." Lin Qingqing quickly changed her clothes, tied her hair into a bun, put on the pearl flowers she bought in the city, and opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, several aunts stared in amazement. The second brother's daughter has always been pretty, but never this pretty.
Her skin was as white as putty, her small pointed face was matched with big watery eyes, and her lips were cherry red. She didn't look like a village girl at all.
Lin Qingqing's outfit today adds a lot of color to her. The light red short-sleeved shirt is a waist-pinched style, which makes her skin look fair and delicate, and she looks beautiful and lively. The straight black pants on the lower body make her 1.68-meter height longer, giving the illusion that her legs are all below the waist.
Lin Qingqing, with her slim waist and long legs, and the officer's son-in-law just now, one in green and one in red, are a perfect match no matter how you look at them.
Xiaomei from my second aunt's family is only 18 years old this year. As soon as she entered the Lin family, her eyes were looking for Lin Qingqing. Her home is in the next village. When they were young, they often played together. In recent years, she has grown up and has to go home to work, so she rarely comes here.
This is the original owner's only friend.
"Aunt, second aunt, third aunt, you are here, please come in and sit down."
Lin Qingqing welcomed people into the house with a smile on her face, but several aunts were a little shy. They were married in nearby villages and usually didn't have much contact with their natal family. One reason was that their natal family was poor, with many people in the family and not enough food for them, so how could they come? Another reason was that Lin Qingqing had never looked at these aunts straight in the eye, and as time went on, they had less and less contact with each other.
Seeing my niece so enthusiastic today, I felt a little uncomfortable.
After arranging the aunts to sit down, Lin Qingqing turned around and said to Li Zhaodi: "Sister-in-law, you go and do your work first. The aunts can sit in my room first."
Once Li Zhaodi left, the other aunts became even more uncomfortable.
Lin Qingqing grabbed a handful of White Rabbit candies and a handful of hard fruit candies from the cupboard and distributed them to her aunt and several younger generations.
"Aunt, second aunt, third aunt, please sit down first. I just got up and went to wash my face."
The eldest aunt grabbed the candy and said, "You go first, we can just sit by ourselves."
Lin Qingqing smiled and nodded, then went out. As soon as she came out, she was stared at by everyone in the yard. She ignored everyone's gaze, took a basin of water from the well, and went to the bathroom to wash up.
After locking the bathroom door, I slipped into the space and bent over to wash my face in the basin, which was not as convenient as the smart washbasin in the space.
After washing up, Lin Qingqing looked in the mirror. There was nothing wrong with her face at the moment, but today was her 'wedding' after all, so she had to put on some makeup.
Apply foundation, draw eyebrows, draw eyeliner, brush mascara, put on light lipstick, and spray on fruity perfume, and you're done.
Her facial features are already beautiful and charming, and now they are even more charming and lively. She also exudes a sweet orange scent all over her body, which smells sweet and soothing in the scorching summer.
After putting on her makeup, Lin Qingqing was in a good mood. She went to the cafeteria to eat two meat buns to fill her stomach before leaving the space.
He put the basin in the bathroom, came in through the back door, walked through the crowd, and returned to his room.
