Chapter 40 Fairy Descends to Earth
At this moment, the gate of the family compound was completely open, laughter and joyful cheers continued to float out of the yard, and people came to congratulate them in an endless stream.
The courtyard, which usually seemed a bit quiet and deserted, suddenly became unusually lively and bustling.
Hu Li brought her three children to the Xiao family to congratulate them.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw several important items covered with a red cloth embroidered with the word "囍" on the table in the living room.
"Oh, look at this Peony brand sewing machine! Even the watch and radio are top-notch products on the market!"
Hu Li exclaimed in surprise.
"And that bicycle parked outside looks like it's a Fei Ge brand! It seems the Xiao family, the village head, is quite wealthy."
In that era of relative scarcity of materials, if a family could own such an exquisite and durable Peony brand sewing machine, and a sturdy and beautiful Fei Ge bicycle as a dowry for the bride, it would definitely be something that people would envy.
Such a generous dowry is enough to become a topic of conversation for a lifetime!
Ruan Chuxia smiled slightly, without revealing too much emotion directly.
In fact, she knew very well in her heart that these were all face-saving projects specially arranged by the Xiao family.
"Sister-in-law Hu Li, stop standing and talking. Please come in and find a seat. The banquet will start soon. Let's eat and talk at the same time."
Ruan Chuxia greeted warmly.
Today Ruan Chuxia was wearing a dark red dress embroidered with delicate patterns, which made her look particularly elegant.
She wore a red silk flower on her chest.
This slim and elegant wedding dress perfectly highlights her beautiful figure.
Her long hair was carefully combed into a high bun, tied with a red rope, and a pearl flower was pinned on the bun as decoration.
Hu Li stood aside and looked at the radiant Ruan Chuxia.
"Little Sister Ruan, you are the most beautiful bride I have ever seen!"
Then, Hu Li seemed to have thought of something, and her tone became somewhat emotional as she spoke.
"Did you know? Actually, the village next door is also preparing for a wedding, but the situation there isn't quite right. The man couldn't come up with the bride price, and they almost got into an argument with the woman. After a long struggle, they finally managed to scrape together enough money for the banquet. But the items are still incomplete, without the three major items. How embarrassing would such a wedding be!"
Hearing this, Ruan Chuxia couldn't help but feel moved, and asked curiously: "Which village are you talking about?"
"It's the small village next to us."
Hu Li replied, "What a coincidence, it seems that family's last name is Ruan? Oh, it really is no coincidence. But in terms of pomp and circumstance, they really can't compare to our Xiao Village Chief."
After hearing this, a subtle change of emotion flashed in Ruan Chuxia's eyes.
Then she walked lightly towards Sister-in-law Hu Li who was busy in the yard.
There was a huge iron pot boiling in full swing.
The table next to it was filled with cleaned pork.
There are also some handmade steamed buns and golden crispy fish on the table...
The whole courtyard was filled with the tempting aroma of barbecue and burning wood.
You know, even on a big day like Chinese New Year, ordinary people may not be willing to eat so many delicious foods.
And today, the Xiao family prepared such a sumptuous banquet for Ruan Chuxia.
It not only showed how much importance was attached to the bride, but also made the neighbor aunties who had once complained about her change their views after seeing this.
After all, no one wants to fall out with powerful people, and it is common sense that they would even try to curry favor with them.
Especially in such an environment, Ruan Chuxia has recently become famous for her amazing medical skills.
Many people respectfully call her Dr. Ruan.
This matter is also attributed to the contribution of Sister-in-law Hu Li.
In the past, Ruan Chuxia has always maintained a low-key lifestyle.
But ever since Hu Li came back with the child.
All kinds of good things about Ruan Chuxia were widely spread among the neighbors.
The current situation is that many family members who are unable to seek medical treatment on weekdays for various reasons, some of whom are holding their children, red envelopes and gifts in their hands, look at Ruan Chuxia with expectant eyes.
"Xiao Ruan," an older sister-in-law spoke up, "If we did anything wrong to offend you in the past, it was all unintentional. We sincerely apologize to you. Please don't take it to heart."
"We'll all live in the same yard from now on. If you have any difficulties or need help, just let me know. Don't carry such a heavy burden alone!"
Another person echoed.
They gathered around Ruan Chuxia and chatted about family matters.
Ruan Chuxia also responded with a polite smile on her face.
But she knew very well that these people actually came for her medical treatment skills.
However, Ruan Chuxia is not someone who is easy to bully.
When Ruan Chuxia saw so many people coming to seek help after hearing about her abilities, her eyes suddenly lit up.
Maybe I can open a clinic and earn some extra money in my spare time?
You know, Ruan Chuxia always believed that people should be independent and should not always rely on others to live.
Especially after experiencing the experiences in my previous life, I understand more clearly how important it is to control my own financial resources and maintain independence and freedom.
Only in this way can you live with more dignity and not be easily manipulated by others.
"Hey, Captain Xiao is here!"
Someone shouted loudly, his voice full of joy.
Ruan Chuxia followed the gaze of her sisters-in-law.
Xiao Zhiyu was surrounded by a group of enthusiastic team members and squeezed into the gate with a smile.
His arrival immediately made the scene lively.
Today, Xiao Zhiyu rarely changed out of his work clothes and put on a gray-black suit, looking particularly energetic.
He had a bright red silk flower pinned to his chest.
The whole person looks solemn and festive.
He is nearly 1.9 meters tall, with a straight figure, and walks with high spirits.
Xiao Zhiyu, who usually has a stern face, couldn't help but smile at this moment.
"Captain Xiao, this is your daughter-in-law. She's so pretty, like a fairy from heaven! Why didn't you bring her out earlier for us to see? You've been hiding her like this. Aren't you afraid we'll be jealous and snatch her away?!"
Seeing Ruan Chuxia's fair and beautiful appearance, someone teased Xiao Zhiyu.
This remark elicited a good-natured laugh.
A burst of lighthearted laughter was heard all around.
Most of the young people in the team are single, and they encounter this kind of situation where they are discussing marriage.
They love to make jokes that are crude but not too extreme.
"Oh, look at how gentle and beautiful the lady is. I want to find a wife and get married right away! No wonder my mother keeps urging me to go on blind dates. It's so nice to have a wife! Village Chief Xiao is so lucky to have a wife like this!"
Another young team member also joined in the teasing, his words full of envy.
