Ning Xiyue took a deep breath to calm down, trying not to take it to heart and not think about the embarrassing things. Her face slowly returned to normal and her temperature also returned to normal.
Ning Qingyuan saw that his sister's face was no longer hot, her body temperature was normal, and her complexion was normal. Only then did he truly believe that she did not have a cold. He sat down with peace of mind and watched the wedding ceremony together.
The ceremony ended after about an hour, when the bride and groom took their oaths in front of the Chairman's portrait.
Everyone moved to the cafeteria to carry out the last ceremony of the day, start the banquet and eat.
Ning Xiyue liked this part more. Everyone held their water glasses and said congratulations together. The rest was just a happy meal. The bride and groom didn't have to hustle and they could sit down and eat with other family members.
This saves a lot of trouble.
After the meal, this lively group wedding also ended, and everyone went back home to find their mothers.
Ning Xiyue quickly pulled her family away to avoid contact with Comrade Ji. Today was too embarrassing and she didn't want to face Comrade Ji for the time being.
Because Ning Xiyue was deliberately avoiding people, Ji Yanming didn't see anyone when he was free. He didn't even have the chance to say a few words. He reflected in his mind on what went wrong.
What made him even more distressed was that he had no time or opportunity to meet Ning Xiyue later.
Since Ning Xiyue's family didn't have much time to spend together, she put this embarrassing incident and Comrade Ji behind her after returning home, and spent the last few leisurely days with her parents in Shanghai.
I took my parents to see the more famous places in Shanghai, went shopping in the department store hand in hand with my mother, and then went to the theater with my family to watch their performance at the invitation of Jiayin's sister-in-law.
We also took advantage of Ning Qingyuan's birthday to go to the state-owned restaurant and have a delicious meal.
Finally, on New Year’s Eve, Ning Xiyue and her family had a happy and joyful reunion in the courtyard.
This is the last day the family is reunited in Shanghai. They have all bought their train tickets for tomorrow. Everyone will go back to their respective places and resume their previous lives.
So this evening, the atmosphere at home was particularly warm. After eating and drinking, the family gathered together to chat. Most of the time, the parents and the eldest brother were telling her and the second brother to take care of each other in the countryside, not to hide things, to write more letters and make more phone calls, etc.
Finally, Yun Xiulan happily took out four red envelopes wrapped in red paper and waved them at the four children: "Come on, it's time to give out New Year's money. Come back and get it. Line up."
"Here I come, here I come."
Ning Xiyue and Ning Qingyuan were the most excited. They jumped over and stood at the front of the line, the first and second respectively, staring at the red envelope in Yun Xiulan's hand.
Ning Qingzhi pulled Song Jiayin, who was embarrassed to queue, to the back.
In their family, it is customary not to give out lucky money unless their children are married.
So Ning Qingzhi can still get a red envelope from his mother after getting married, and even his new wife Song Jiayin can get one.
Yun Xiulan took the red envelope and glanced at the two most active siblings in front of her with a frown: "You two little brats are the fastest runners."
Ning Xiyue and Ning Qingyuan, who were being talked about, raised their heads and grinned at their mother with their teeth bared.
Ning Hai watched happily from the side.
Yun Xiulan saw the team lined up and began to distribute the red envelopes in her hand, "Here, this is for Yueyue."
"Thank you, Mom."
Ning Xiyue happily took the red envelope in front of her and walked to a chair beside to sit and watch.
"This is for the second one."
"Thank you, Mom."
Ning Qingyuan ran towards where Ning Xiyue was sitting, dancing with joy while holding the red envelope, and sat down next to her to look at the red envelope in his hand.
"This is the boss."
"Jiayin, this is yours."
Yun Xiulan handed a red envelope to Ning Qingzhi and Song Jiayin respectively.
"Thank you, Mom." They both said in unison, with happy smiles on their faces.
After Yun Xiulan distributed the four red envelopes, she saw the smiles on the four children's faces and felt satisfied: "Okay, do what you need to do. Those who need to go back to their rooms to sleep can go to sleep. Let's go."
They said they were leaving, but no one left and they continued sitting in the living room.
Ning Xiyue and Ning Qingyuan sat in the corner, counting the money in the red envelopes with smiles on their faces.
The amount is the same in all of them, two yuan in each bag, and to make it look better, the red envelopes are made up of brand new one-cent banknotes.
Ning Xiyue and her brother were very happy while counting.
This sense of atmosphere and ritual is what we want during the Chinese New Year.
After counting their money, the two siblings counted it with each other, satisfying their desire to count money.
Yun Xiulan took Ning Xiyue to the bedroom and talked to her about some personal matters, which were nothing more than the same words she had said to her when they went to the countryside.
However, because her life has been getting better and better in the past six months in the countryside, Yun Xiulan is not as worried as before, but she still has to give a few reminders.
Finally, he pulled Ning Xiyue aside and said a few mysterious words to her.
"Your eldest brother's comrade-in-arms is Comrade Ji, the one who saved you. Mom has taken a look at him and thinks he's a decent, excellent person. She seems to have a good impression of you. If you don't want to stay in the countryside anymore, you can consider him. He can accompany the army..."
Ning Xiyue interrupted embarrassedly: "Mom, what are you talking about? Didn't you tell me not to date? Why are you talking about this?"
"Silly girl, I don't want you to go to the countryside to find a partner, but that doesn't mean I don't want you to stay in the countryside and work hard on the land your whole life. I've never let you suffer since you were a child. If you stay in the village your whole life, your father and I will be sick to death. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. No matter how much hardship you endure, we can't care or know about it."
Yun Xiulan glanced at Ning Xiyue's forehead gently.
"Comrade Ji is different. He's outstanding in every way, and he's a soldier. You won't find such an outstanding partner in our county. You're right to listen to Mom. If you're interested, let's grab him quickly. Now that we're back in the city, you'll have your brother and sister-in-law to take care of you, so life won't be difficult."
