"Don't be so disrespectful and call me by my name. I'm your senior, a year ahead of you!" Lu Mingyue said, winking as she spoke.
"Senior? You're still pretending to be a senior here? Who are you trying to scare?" Zhou Meiling ran over and tickled Lu Mingyue, who could only hide from being tickled.
Qiao Xiaoni smiled helplessly as she watched their lively scene.
After the roughhousing.
Cao Minghui took a box out of her backpack: "My dad asked me to bring this. He was originally planning to come to the wedding, but he was called away by a phone call and went to the south overnight."
My grandmother is in poor health, and my mother can't leave, so I have to attend the wedding alone.
Inside the box was a jade bracelet, crystal clear and a pale emerald green color.
"It looks so pretty, this must be quite expensive, right?" Qiao Xiaoni didn't pick it up to look at it; in her opinion, the gift was a bit too valuable.
Cao Minghui: "I don't know the exact price, but I do know that my dad carefully selected this bracelet for you. You must accept it no matter what; it's a token of my dad's affection."
I overheard my parents' conversation and learned that this bracelet cost 5,000 yuan. They say it's an antique, at least 500 years old. The fact that it's survived to this day is truly remarkable; it's both lucky and precious.
"Since you put it that way, then I'll accept it." Qiao Xiaoni felt that today was a joyous day, so she decided to accept the gift regardless. She could return it later when the opportunity arose.
“I think you should wear the bracelet today, otherwise your hands will be bare,” Zhou Meiling suggested.
Qiao Xiaoni nodded, put the bracelet on her right hand, and shook it a bit; it looked good.
"A fine bracelet truly suits a beautiful woman," Cao Minghui sighed, thinking it was just too expensive; otherwise, she would have bought one herself. Little did she know that this bracelet wasn't something you could just buy whenever you wanted.
The sound of firecrackers downstairs reminded them that the wedding procession had arrived. To make it look more formal, they had rehearsed countless times in private.
Li Meihua and Tao Chunfang quickly went upstairs to wait for Su Chenhao to come and pick them up.
According to custom, the groom carries the bride on his back, which is a test of physical strength. He has to carry her from upstairs to downstairs without stopping, and then carry her into the car. After that, they take a stroll around the courtyard house before heading to a restaurant to host a banquet for relatives and friends.
Just after nine o'clock, Su Chenhao entered the house surrounded by everyone, wearing brand-new clothes and a red flower pinned to his chest. His face was beaming with happiness.
It wasn't until this moment that Qiao Xiaoni felt like a bride. She watched as he gently bent down and squatted down, then lay down on top of her.
"I've finally won you over." Su Chenhao said, standing up.
"Ugh, I hate it." Qiao Xiaoni lowered her head shyly.
Then I felt myself being carried down. The road seemed to be quite long. Amidst the sound of firecrackers, I got into the car.
The neighbors were amazed. Such a grand wedding was a rare sight. The couple, who had seemed so ordinary before, had truly broadened their horizons today.
The guests were divided into two groups, one taking a car back to the courtyard house, and the other paying extra for the dowry, which was a small token of their appreciation.
They don't take a car back to the courtyard house; they only give one gift.
Qiao Xiaoni and Su Chenhao prepared some candy and pastries in advance, and gave them to everyone who gave them money as a dowry.
This way, the people who went back to the courtyard house were suitable, and the gifts they received were more than the money they gave as a wedding gift.
