"Mom, the wedding dress you designed is so beautiful."
After wearing the wedding dress that had just been sent from Guangzhou, Su Huazhu couldn't help but be amazed by it.
It's so beautiful.
The main difference is that her wedding dress is completely different from the currently popular, puffy style. It's more fitted and simple, elegant and sophisticated. Wearing it elevated her overall气质 (qi zhi - a combination of temperament, bearing, and style) to a whole new level.
In addition, there is a long veil, which is also very simple. It is neither too formal nor too cumbersome, but it still has a light and graceful feel.
Her wedding dress and her sister-in-law's dress were two different styles. Her sister-in-law's style was the kind that was currently popular in Hong Kong and abroad.
Su Huazhu looked at herself in the mirror, wearing a fitted, pure white wedding dress, a diamond necklace around her neck, and another diamond necklace on her wrist. Tall and slender, elegant and poised, paired with those white high heels that were more than eight centimeters long, she was breathtakingly beautiful.
"Mom, you designed my wedding dress but not my sister-in-law's. Won't she be upset if she finds out?!"
She was extremely pleased with herself in this outfit, admiring herself for a while before thinking of her second sister-in-law, who had been married for less than two months. She worried that her sister-in-law might have objections if she found out.
“It’s not that I don’t want to design one for her, it’s just that I think she has her own ideas. She’s a music teacher and works in Guangzhou, so she probably already has a wedding dress in mind. I also had your second brother ask her if she wanted a wedding dress prepared for her, and she told your second brother that she would prepare one herself.”
Qiao didn't care what her second daughter-in-law would think if she found out; she always knew her second daughter-in-law was a very opinionated person. Besides, she had already asked her, hadn't she?
Besides, everyone has different aesthetic tastes and perspectives. If she didn't have her own generation's experience, she would also think that wedding dresses from the 1980s were beautiful; it's just the trend of each era.
However, she lets her daughter dress however she wants. And her daughter is willing to listen to her, which is why she designed the wedding dress for her.
"Then I'm relieved."
Her mother was already so good, Su Huazhu didn't want her to be blamed by her daughter-in-law.
"Take a look and see where it needs to be changed! Or where it's too small, or which square is too big?!"
Qiao looked at her beautiful and young daughter in the mirror. It was wonderful. The child she had raised for more than 20 years was about to get married, and her daughter was about to embark on a different kind of life.
She was reluctant to leave, but also happy.
"Mom, I think it's fine, there's no need to change it."
Su Huazhu looked down at her wedding dress and shook her head happily, saying, "It's just right, it's just so beautiful."
Qiao also touched the waist of the wedding dress and thought it was very well made.
Su Huazhu's apartment in Gulou doesn't need any renovations. She just moved in during the Chinese New Year, and now she can move in right away.
"Your Uncle Cai and his family will also be attending your wedding. Cai Min has also secured a place to study in the United States. Everything is arranged, and she will be flying abroad at the end of August."
Su Feng and Jin Zhu didn't have much vacation time for their wedding, so Cai Qingwen's family sent a gift but didn't attend in person. This time, Su Huazhu's wedding coincided with summer vacation, and after receiving the invitation, her family decided to attend the wedding in person.
"Sister Min is really amazing."
Cai Min is older than Su Huazhu, almost ten years older than her. Not only does she have no plans to marry, but she has also decided to study abroad. Yet, she still longs for love and a home.
"Your Aunt Cai said she still hopes Xiaomin will come home soon."
Qiao Qiru understood Zhou Meihua's thoughts, of course. Her eldest son and his family were selfish and unreliable. If they were gone, how could she rest easy with her only daughter left?
"Mom, I haven't heard Minjie say she won't get married. Maybe right now she thinks the most important thing is studying and working. Maybe Minjie's marriage is overseas."
Before meeting Ling Xiaohe, Su Huazhu was focused on her studies and work. It wasn't that she didn't plan to get married; she simply had her own direction and goals.
If Ling Xiaohe hadn't been such a perfect match for her, she would have planned to wait until she was over ten to consider marriage.
When Qiao heard her daughter's words, she was stunned. She recalled that her cousin Cai Min had also gone abroad and never returned. She wondered if she had found her own haven abroad.
June 10th, Guangzhou.
"Second brother, second sister-in-law, I'm going back to Beijing tomorrow. When are you planning to leave? Is there anything you need me to bring back?"
Ling Xiaohe, beaming with joy, arrived at Su Feng and Jin Zhu's residence, mainly to remind them to return early for their wedding.
"We can only leave on the 2nd, and we'll be home on the afternoon of the 4th, just in time for your wedding."
"There's not much to take back. We already sent most of our luggage back home around noon today. We'll just bring a change of clothes, some other necessities, and some food."
Su Feng glanced at Bian Ge's wife before telling Ling Xiaohe the time the couple had agreed upon.
Actually, universities usually start their holidays quite early. They started a couple of days ago. I just had some work and things to finish, so I'm going back a few days later.
"Alright, then I'll head back now."
Ling Xiaohe had been eagerly anticipating this for a long time and had applied for leave and marriage leave, but he was only given twenty days in total, and his time was very precious.
Tomorrow is the 11th, and it'll be July 2nd when I return to Kyoto. There are only two days left until the wedding.
"Should I take you home?!"
Su Feng thought about it and decided that he would still have time to see his brother-in-law off tomorrow at noon.
"No need, I don't have much stuff."
Ling Xiaohe said no, everything could be packed in one big backpack, and important things were either put in the shoulder bag or in a pocket close to the body.
For example, the gold ring that I just bought for Hwajoo is currently in my pocket.
Since the two families were about to become one, Su Feng and Jin Zhu invited them to have dinner at a restaurant before seeing Ling Xiaohe off.
On the afternoon of July 2nd, Ling Xiaohe, filled with immense excitement, finally returned to the long-missed capital city of Beijing.
