Moreover, the family reimbursed the travel expenses and provided for food and accommodation, including some colleagues and friends of Xu Gang and Chen Meiyu, and all those who could come came.
Fortunately, there are many empty rooms in the Xu family yard, so the house is spacious enough to live in.
As soon as Third Aunt Lu Meihua arrived home, she immediately worked with the eldest and second sisters-in-law to settle the relatives and friends. The men were also busy entertaining and taking care of the guests outside.
Xu Manman also sent telegrams to several of her good friends at the educated youth camp.
Liu Hua and Li Xiao, Yang Lili and Zhan Tianqi, and Zhang Yuan and Yue Feng also came with their wives.
Wan Fang and Li Mao, as well as Xu Meili and Lin Zuxin, arrived with their children the day before the wedding.
This was a rare reunion of educated youth after the resumption of the college entrance examination. Not only was Chen Ming happy to see his friends again after several years, but even Zhou Ming, who usually had no expression on his face, had a smile on his face all day long.
Moreover, children who got married early can run around everywhere. When a group of people get together, the older ones chat and the younger ones play, it can be really noisy.
The day before the wedding, Xu Manman and Jin Zichu put on brand new white shirts, took letters of introduction issued by their units and the street office, went for a pre-marital physical examination, and then got their marriage certificate.
At that time, the marriage certificate was just a certificate like an award, and even a photo was not required.
However, Xiao Jin was extremely serious about it. After returning home and showing it to his family, he put it away carefully. Even Xu Manman didn't know where he hid it.
When they returned to the space at night, Xiao Jin hugged the host and said, "Manman, we are getting married."
"Um."
Although the relationship was there and she had done everything she could with Xiao Jin except the last step, she still felt it was a little outrageous.
She just married Xiao Jin like that, and the system?
On their legal wedding night, the two of them lay together, but did nothing. They both tacitly wanted to save their best time for the wedding night.
On the wedding day, Xu Manman was pulled out of bed by Chen Meiyu in the early morning.
Xu Manman was so sleepy that she couldn't even open her eyes. In order to make the wedding perfect, Xiao Jin didn't allow the bride and groom to meet the day before the wedding, so he didn't enter the space last night. Xu Manman didn't enter either, so he really didn't get enough sleep now.
She closed her eyes, went into the bathroom to wash up, changed into a red petticoat, and came out to see an unfamiliar middle-aged woman standing in the room.
Xu Manman was still wondering if she had told her mother in advance that she would do her own makeup. Why did she still ask someone to come?
Before she could figure it out, Li Fang pushed her down on the chair. Then the middle-aged woman sprinkled a layer of white powder on Xu Manman's face, took out a cotton thread, and began to twist Xu Manman's face.
In fact, Xu Manman has very good skin, without pores and naturally not much hair. Although everyone sees that she is wearing no makeup, she still uses some makeup. Although her makeup will not come off after all this, the friction is really painful. When she was done, Xu Manman's eyes were red.
Chen Meiyu took a warm towel and applied it to her daughter. "Okay, okay, this happens to every girl when she gets married. Today is a good day, don't cry."
Xu Manman pressed her red face, and after the numbness and pain subsided, she prepared to pick up her things and start putting on makeup.
Unexpectedly, Third Aunt brought another bowl of poached eggs in brown sugar water, "Nannan, eat this first to fill your stomach. You won't be able to eat after putting on lipstick."
Her lipstick didn't come off, but Xu Manman still obediently ate two eggs.
Then she started to put on makeup. She didn't make it too complicated, just a little heavier than the light makeup she usually wore in class. Her bright red and plump lips made her fair skin and beautiful face stand out even more.
Ye Rong looked at her niece who had finished her makeup and sighed, "Such a beautiful girl, I really don't want her to get married."
Li Fang combed Xu Manman's hair with a comb, "Who would be willing to do that? But Zichu is also good-looking, the two children complement each other well."
Ye Rong had never seen Jin Zichu without glasses, but even with that look he looked much better than ordinary people, so she didn't object after hearing it.
After her sister-in-law had done Xu Manman's hair, Chen Meiyu took out two boxes.
A large box contained a golden crown, hairpins, and a pure gold necklace inlaid with gems, and another box contained a pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets.
Xu Manman was also a little surprised when she saw these things. Although her space was full of them, these were taken out by her mother. She had grown up without knowing that these things existed in her home.
Before Xu Manman could ask, Li Fang picked up a hairpin and said, "This was given to you by your grandmother when she got married. Your third aunt and I both have one. Your mother's was given to you when you got married, and ours are given to your daughter-in-law."
