157 Red Cheongsam
The child called out to the outside of the yard, "Second sister."
Everyone busy in the yard immediately turned around and looked towards the gate.
Seeing the Gao Qinghe sisters, Guihua felt as warm as if she was at home.
She was still feeling guilty after being scolded by Gao Qingya, but now she was the first to come forward, and her movements were even faster than those of Zheng Dasao, the matchmaker and aunt.
Gao Qingya dodged Guihua's hand that was trying to take the suitcase and glared at her.
Guihua was puzzled and awkwardly withdrew her hand and said, "This girl always glares at people. If she doesn't change her temper, she might not be able to get married in the future."
Gao Qingya: "Who said I'm getting married? I can't just marry a man and think everyone is like you!"
The women in the yard burst out laughing when they heard this.
Guihua couldn't keep her smile on, her face was a little stiff, "You girl, what nonsense are you talking about..."
No one cares about her mood, Gao Qinghe is the protagonist.
Mrs. Zheng smiled and asked, "Is Bao'er thirsty? Your grandma just made some fermented rice wine. Can you ask your second aunt to make you a bowl?"
Without waiting for Gao Qinghe's consent, Zheng Ersao shook off the water from washing vegetables on her hands, stood up and went to the kitchen.
Mrs. Tian hurriedly instructed, "Make more water, and then put a few small glutinous rice balls in after washing them with cold water. Let everyone have some."
Zheng Ersao responded with an "Ah".
With the evil mother-in-law Zhong in front of her, she only felt that her own mother-in-law was kind and lovely.
"Mom~" Gao Qinghe rushed to her mother's back, hugged her neck and acted coquettishly.
Huang Ying was about to talk to her, but she lost interest in the topic. She turned around, pinched her daughter's smooth face, and asked with concern:
"Did you bring the wedding attire you bought? Did you buy the red flowers and red paper I asked you to buy?"
Gao Qinghe laughed: "I've brought everything, bought everything, and even got the marriage certificate. Do you want me to see it?"
Mrs. Zheng immediately started to cheer: "Look! Of course we have to look!"
Gao Qingya shouted the loudest: "I want to see my sister wearing new clothes!"
Maomao and Huahua circled around their second sister, "Look at the bride wearing her new dress~"
The others also followed curiously to see what kind of auspicious clothes Gao Qinghe bought.
Since everyone is so supportive, Gao Qinghe no longer hesitates.
After waiting for my second aunt's fermented rice balls to be served and drinking them to quench my thirst and relieve the heat, I took out the red cheongsam, red pearl flowers, and red leather shoes I had bought from the suitcase.
Huang Ying also did not forget to buy the red paper stickers, and stuffed a small stack into her mother's hand.
"Take it to Tieba, it's all filled with happy characters."
After the old man in Shanghe Village who was skilled in paper-cutting passed away, people in the village started buying ready-made paper-cuts for their weddings.
Although they lack some traditional flavor, the "囍" character decals printed by industrial machines have many more varieties.
There are butterflies, peonies, mandarin ducks playing in the water, and all kinds of them.
It’s not the wedding day yet, so there’s no need to rush to post it.
Huang Ying put away the appliques, and when she came back, Gao Qinghe had already changed into a cheongsam.
Gao Qingya walked out of the room holding her sister's hand, "Dangdangdang!" Zheng Dasao and others were dazzled by the sight.
Mrs. Zhong stood behind the crowd and stretched her neck to look inside curiously.
When I saw this, an indescribable complex emotion suddenly surged in my heart.
Gao Qinghe was wearing a high-necked, sleeveless, floor-length cheongsam.
The color is pure red, without any embroidery or other colors.
The minimalist style uses thick silk fabric, coupled with exquisite tailoring craftsmanship and excellent shape, it looks very luxurious.
She didn't have her hair tied up, but just let her long, shiny hair hang casually, standing in the middle with a faint smile.
An idiom popped up in Gao Qingya's mind - Pan Jing Tiao Shun.
The girl was shocked and thought, how can a person be so beautiful!
Gao Qinghe, dressed in a red cheongsam, stood in the simple earthen house. She seemed out of place and yet extremely harmonious with this place.
These two contradictory feelings are even more attractive.
Ouyang Yan didn't know when she came back. She stood behind everyone, staring blankly at the red color in the earthen house, feeling amazed, envious, and dazed.
She suddenly remembered the day when she and Zhou Zhenghua went to the wedding dress shop in the county town to choose wedding dresses.
Originally, she had her eyes on a pearl white wedding dress.
But for some reason, she later picked up a red mid-length gauze skirt, a very tacky kind of bright red.
What's even more bizarre is that even though she disliked the red wedding dress so much, she actually agreed to wear it to get married.
Because Zhou Zhenghua said that since the wedding banquet was held in the countryside, it was impossible to wear a white wedding dress that dragged on the ground, as it would make it very dirty.
Moreover, the villagers of Shanghe Village believe that wearing white at a wedding is unlucky.
But looking at Gao Qinghe, who was now wearing a red cheongsam and smiling, Ouyang Yan had a paranoid feeling that she had chosen red because she liked this cheongsam.
If she likes a white wedding dress, she can definitely wear it to get married.
Ouyang Yan couldn't help but wonder, if the bride who wanted to wear a white veil was Gao Qinghe, would Zhou Zhenghua still say that wearing a white veil was inappropriate and would get it dirty?
How strange, why do you think so?
Ouyang Yan didn't know either.
Lately, she couldn't help but wonder if the outcome would be different if it were her.
Ouyang Yan shook her head violently, trying to sober herself up and stop being so obsessed.
"Yan'er!"
Mrs. Zhong noticed Ouyang Yan standing behind her and approached her affectionately, "Is your foot okay?"
Ouyang Yan regained consciousness, smiled faintly and nodded, "Apply the medicinal wine and rub it in, it will be healed soon."
Zhong held her hand and said, "That's good, that's good."
Gao Qinghe heard the noise and raised his hand to greet.
Ouyang Yan forced a smile, lowered her head and turned around, "Mom, I'm going home first. I'm a little sleepy."
Sleepy?
Zhong's eyes rolled and she glanced at Ouyang Yan's belly in surprise. Could she be pregnant?
Ouyang Yan was puzzled. "Mom, what are you looking at?"
Mrs. Zhong waved her hands quickly, "Nothing, nothing... Let's go back together. Are you hungry? Mom will make you fried rice."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law returned home lovingly.
Zheng Ersao couldn't help but sigh. With her mother-in-law being so partial, the sisters-in-law at home couldn't expect to live in peace.
When I turned around, I saw Guihua staring with her eyes wide open and gritting her teeth.
I also hate myself for not being able to have a baby, and I don't even have the courage to make a fuss.
I endured it again and again...and found that I couldn't endure it anymore!
Someone nearby was about to say something to comfort Guihua, but before he could open his mouth, he saw Guihua following him aggressively.
After a while, the quarrel between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law came from next door, as well as the sound of Ouyang Yan trying to reconcile them.
"I asked you to meddle in other people's business, but you're still acting like a good boy after getting an advantage. Stop being so hypocritical!"
There was a loud bang as the door closed, and Guihua rushed out with a bag.
Soon, Boss Zhou opened the door and ran out to chase after him, calling his wife to come home.
Guihua threw her bag at him and cried out in a sobbing voice:
"Get the hell out of here! That's not my home. I want to go back to my own place!"
In the Gao family courtyard, everyone looked at each other in confusion.
Gao Qinghe whispered to his younger sister, "How did things turn out like this?"
Gao Qingya was confused, she didn't know either!
From the next yard came the faint sound of sobbing and the frightened cry of a baby.
Gao Qinghe's heart subconsciously tightened.
Then she saw the red cheongsam she was wearing and breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the Zhou family’s miserable days in this life had nothing to do with her.
