Early in the morning of October 18th, while it was still barely light, Yan Xiaonan was dragged out of bed by Cuihua.
Yan Xiaonan wanted to stay in bed longer; she hated it when her dreams were disturbed in the early morning, and she wanted to linger in the fragrant blankets for a while longer.
Grandma Yan felt sorry for her granddaughter and said, "Let her sleep for another 15 minutes. There's still time."
Cuihua reluctantly set her alarm; she had to get up in fifteen minutes.
Yan Xiaonan gave an indistinct reply, then closed her eyes and fell asleep again.
Xuemei smiled and shook her head. Most brides are so nervous they can't sleep all night, but Nannan is so composed and can even stay in bed.
Liu Jin proudly said, "My aunt is so generous; only my aunt in the world could do that."
Xuemei lightly slapped Liujin: "Since you like your aunt so much, why don't you just marry into her family?"
Liu Jin quickly begged for forgiveness: "Mom, I will always love you. Aunt will have Uncle to keep her company from now on, so I won't join in the fun."
Xuemei rolled her eyes. "You'd be a fool to believe me, you drama queen."
The alarm clock rang, and Cuihua watched as Yan Xiaonan slowly stretched and slowly pulled back the covers. She was so anxious she was about to explode.
Grandma Yan looked at Yan Xiaonan acting up and said with heartache, "My dear child, I know you don't want to get married, but didn't you make arrangements that I'll come over in a month?"
Yan Xiaonan was truly reluctant to leave this courtyard house, but after Grandma said that, she could only speed things up.
Cuihua felt a pang of pain in her heart. So her daughter was reluctant to leave home. Sigh, she was still the child she had raised, and she loved her dearly.
"Nannan, my sweet baby, go eat breakfast first. I've prepared everything. Don't move, I'll fold the blanket."
Yan Xiaonan went to the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face. She touched her face in the mirror and thought, "This face is really beautiful, my skin is so smooth and delicate."
Today's breakfast was very plentiful, with all kinds of snacks filling the entire table. My parents and grandma were all sitting at the table, eating breakfast with me.
"Nan Nan, this is the last breakfast you'll eat at your parents' home as a young woman. From now on, you'll be a member of the Ye family." Yan Xiaoqiang felt very reluctant to part with her.
"Dad, I understand. Even though I'm getting married today, I'm still your daughter, and that can't be changed."
Yan Xiaoqiang felt much better. It was true; even after she got married, she was still his own daughter, and the blood ties could not be severed.
Cuihua loved this and that, and wished she could feed Nannan all the good things in the world.
The children kept calling her "Auntie" this and "Auntie" that, as if Nan Nan wasn't getting married today, but going to the far-off moon.
Bei Nan sat in a wheelchair borrowed from the hospital, happily drinking soy milk, while Dong Nan attentively served her beside her.
Tie Ge and Dongnan went to the hospital early in the morning to pick up Bei Nan. The hospital gave him a day off, but he still had to go back to the hospital that night.
The breakfast was very warm and cozy. After breakfast, Yan Xiaonan went to the bathroom to take a shower, while Xuemei and Yuan Zhaodi quickly tidied up the kitchen.
We'll have to get some snacks ready soon, because the groom will be here to pick up the bride at nine o'clock sharp.
Liu Jin and the others were also nervously changing clothes and doing their hair. Fu Bao kept looking in the mirror, worried that she would embarrass her aunt.
The children had already discussed it and decided that they would guard their aunt's door tightly today and would not let her open it until a red envelope was given.
Cuihua helped Yan Xiaoqiang get ready in the west wing. His clothes were neat, his trousers were crisp, his hair was styled with hair wax, and his shoes were polished.
Yan Xiaoqiang stood confidently in front of the full-length mirror: "Wife, your man is really handsome."
Cuihua smiled, pursing her lips. The Yan family's genes were quite good; both Dongnan and Yan Ge were handsome and pleasing to the eye.
She changed into a light purple-red blouse, dark trousers, and square-toed leather shoes. Then she gathered her hair up and put on a rhinestone hair clip. A beautiful woman appeared in the mirror.
Yan Xiaoqiang stared, his eyes wide with amazement. Cuihua was becoming more and more womanly.
He took out a pair of diamond earrings from the drawer; he had bought them at a club in Beijing.
I was planning to give it to my wife today to please her.
Helping Cuihua put on her earrings, the dazzling diamonds sparkled in the rising sunlight, making her exceptionally beautiful.
Grandma Yan was also admiring herself in the mirror. She put on the modified cheongsam that Nan Nan had prepared for her, along with an emerald bracelet and earrings, and immediately looked more energetic.
As I get older, my hair is thinning a bit, so I put on a beret, and it looks much better.
I also prepared a cashmere coat in the same color scheme as the beret, so I won't be cold when I go out.
The same thing happened to Dongnan. Xuemei joked, "Dongnan, you've never been this nervous even when you got married."
Southeast nodded. Weddings back then were so simple; they couldn't compare to those now.
Yan Xiaonan sat in the room and began to get dressed. Fu Qingping was amazing; he estimated her clothing size so accurately at a glance.
First, I put on a bright red undershirt and panties. They were so well made; the silk material felt cool and comfortable against my skin.
Wearing a dress embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water, the dress has exactly ten buttons from top to bottom. These are round buttons made of Hetian jade, symbolizing completeness and perfection.
And the long skirt that reached the ground, so heavy, had tassels hanging down the sides, adding a touch of dynamism.
The dress was fitted at the waist, with a long skirt that trailed on the ground, and paired with pearl-embroidered shoes, making her look absolutely stunning.
Looking at her long, black, and shiny hair, Yan Xiaonan picked up a comb and slowly coiled her hair up.
Red threads were wrapped around her hair, with tiny gold balls on them, coiling around her hair in circles.
From a distance, her hair shimmered with golden light, making it incredibly dazzling.
A pair of large ruby earrings, nestled close to the edge of the earlobes, shone with brilliance.
Looking at herself in the mirror, with eyebrows like distant mountains and eyes like autumn waters, Yan Xiaonan nodded in satisfaction.
Makeup is unnecessary; a little lip gloss is enough.
Standing up and taking a few steps, Yan Xiaonan was surprised to discover that there was something more to the dress than met the eye.
Only when you move around do you realize that there are actually gold and silver threads in the embroidery threads. Once you move, they sparkle and catch your eye.
And the mandarin ducks' eyes were actually black pearls, and their beaks were made of red gemstones strung together one by one.
Yan Xiaonan's eyes welled up with tears. This outfit was not only priceless, but also a testament to an old man's wholehearted love for her.
Such a massive project was all painstakingly completed by Fu Qingping, stitch by stitch. Nobody knows how long she had been preparing for it.
It's a pity my superpower disappeared, otherwise I would definitely have restored milk to health.
He set aside the auspicious dragon and phoenix cloak, sat quietly by the bed, and waited for Ye Chenming's arrival.
Grandma Yan sat in the north room, watching Yan Xiaoqiang and Cuihua sit upright in their chairs, nervously waiting for the groom to come and pay his respects.
