160 Freeze
In a blink of an eye, it was Gao Qinghe's wedding day.
At seven o'clock in the morning, the yard began to become lively.
Gao Qinghe slept well that night and woke up naturally when he heard the noise outside.
The morning sun just shines through the window, casting a light golden glow in the room.
The hair that had just been washed last night was soft and fluffy. Gao Qinghe grabbed the ends of her hair and smelled it. There was a faint floral fragrance, which was healing and peaceful.
"Sister." Gao Qingya lay on the bamboo mat, holding her chin and looking at her sister with satisfaction.
The girl felt extremely proud of her elder sister's beauty and her younger sister's glory.
Gao Qinghe smiled at her dazed sister and said, "Get up, wash your face and put on makeup."
"Makeup?" This was something new. Gao Qingya sat up excitedly. "Can I put on makeup too?"
She only has a color-changing lip balm given by her sister, which is a very light pink.
But the aesthetic standard nowadays is big red lips, so I have been coveting the lipstick in my sister's bag for a long time.
Gao Qinghe got out of bed and quickly put on the white pajamas with small floral patterns that she had prepared last night. The pajamas had buttons, making them easy to put on and take off, and would not stain her makeup when she changed into a cheongsam.
Seeing the little sister's expectant look, he nodded and said, "Today is a special day, so you can draw a little bit."
Gao Qingya immediately jumped out of bed, "I'm going to wash my face!"
My two closest aunts have already arrived at the yard. Today we all have to work together to prepare a banquet for a hundred people, so we have to start preparing now.
Old Mrs. Tian is in charge of the kitchen, while Huang Ying and his wife are responsible for greeting guests.
Most of the guests won't arrive until noon, so it's relatively quiet now.
Gao Qingmiao also came back yesterday. When the father and son saw that the sisters' door was open, they immediately went to the window and looked inside.
During the preparations a few days ago, Gao Chongyi didn't feel anything. He just felt that there were a lot of things to do and hoped that the wedding could go smoothly.
But when that day finally came, the old father couldn't sleep all night.
As soon as he closed his eyes, Gao Chongyi's mind flashed with the images of his wife from her pregnancy to the present.
"Miaomiao, how come a person who is so small suddenly grows so big?" Gao Chongyi sighed.
Without waiting for his son to answer, he continued, "The year your mother became pregnant with your sister, the famine in the village had just passed and the crops hadn't grown in the fields yet. Your mother ate wild vegetable balls while vomiting. I finally got some meat coupons to buy her fried meat, but she vomited immediately after eating it. She was already five months pregnant and was so skin and bones that you couldn't even see her belly."
"I was so scared, I thought your eldest sister wouldn't be able to take care of herself. I quickly urged your two uncles to take me into the mountains to secretly find some local produce. We sold the money and exchanged it for tickets to buy malted milk for your mother... But guess what? After drinking the malted milk, your mother stopped vomiting."
"At that time, your grandmother said that this child knew how to enjoy life. He only knew how to pick up the good things. He couldn't stand any hardship since he was in his mother's womb."
Having said that, Gao Chongyi saw his daughter dressing in front of the mirror in the room, and his heart was filled with sadness.
Gao Qingmiao sniffed hard, grabbed his father's sleeve and reminded him:
"Dad, stop being so sentimental. I'm about to cry."
Grandma and mom told us early in the morning that no one was allowed to talk about sadness on such a happy day, and that we had to complete the wedding with a smile on our faces.
Just now, Gao Qingmiao thought that this reminder was completely unnecessary.
Now he understood that he was just trying to guard against his father who suddenly became sentimental.
Gao Chongyi took a deep breath and nodded heavily, "Hmm," "Don't be sentimental, your sister is so beautiful today, my daughter is so outstanding."
Gao Qingmiao asked, "Isn't my son excellent?"
Gao Chongyi turned around and looked at his unsightly son in front of him very seriously, and said in a gloomy tone: "I have disliked your yellow hair for a long time."
Gao Qingmiao's scalp tightened, and he quickly raised his hand to cover the medium-length curly yellow hair that he had managed to grow. He shook his head and pursed his lips, indicating that he would never ask such an overestimating question again.
Seeing that his attitude was acceptable, Gao Chongyi gave up the idea of taking the scissors for the time being.
In the room.
Gao Qinghe first put some light makeup on her younger sister and combed her hair into a playful and cool bun.
Then she sat in front of the mirror in the wardrobe and put on her makeup.
She really likes this kind of slow-paced wedding, as there is plenty of time to leisurely style her hair, draw her eyebrows, and apply lipstick.
The hairstyle is a low bun with a middle part, and a red pearl flower headdress.
Wear a bright red long cheongsam with a pair of red flat-heeled leather shoes with a buckle.
The earrings and necklace are a set of white pearls, fake, bought from Gao Qingmiao's stall.
But the combination is perfect.
Just as the makeup was done, Gao Qingmiao walked in holding a rented Hongmei film camera.
The young man waved and called out, "Sister, look here!"
Gao Qinghe turned his head towards the door when he heard the voice, and when he saw the camera, he subconsciously showed his standard eight-tooth smile.
There was a "click" sound, the light flashed, and the moment was frozen.
Gao Qingya rushed behind her sister in surprise, "Brother, take a picture of me and me."
Gao Qingmiao made an OK gesture, fiddled with it for a long time, finally determined the angle, and pressed the shutter button.
Soon, people noticed the three siblings taking photos and came over to watch out of curiosity.
Gao Qingmiao took the opportunity to ask her cousin to hold the camera so that she and her two siblings could take a group photo.
Someone shouted, "Miaomiao, ask your parents and grandma to come over so you can take a family photo!"
This is a good idea, Gao Qinghe patted his little sister.
Gao Qingya immediately ran out and called her grandmother and parents in who were busy. The family of six stood in front of Gao Qinghe's dowry wardrobe and took a family photo with a big red "囍" character as the background.
This is the second family photo in the house.
The first photo was taken when Gao Qingya was one year old and the whole family went to the photo studio in town. It was in black and white.
Fourteen years have passed, and we have now entered the era of color photos.
Firecrackers started to sound outside the door, and the relatives were coming.
Gao Chongyi and his wife hurried out to greet them, and the onlookers also followed to watch the fun.
The Gao family’s yard is small and can only accommodate five tables.
So five more tables were set up in the courtyard outside the door.
The food will be served in two batches. Those who are in a hurry to go home will eat first, and those who are nearby will eat later.
At eleven o'clock in the morning, a bus came all the way from the county town, bringing a bus full of guests.
Lu Gaoming was among them, and she brought her youngest son with her.
He was a young man of about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a fair complexion and gentle manner.
Boys of this age haven't fully grown yet, and their skin is fair. As soon as Gao Qingya saw him, she whispered in her sister's ear, "He looks more like a girl than I do."
Gao Qinghe glared at his younger sister speechlessly and said, "Be polite!"
Gao Qingya shrank her neck and grinned broadly at Lu Gaoming's youngest son.
I don't know what tickled his funny bone, but the little boy turned his face away and laughed silently for a long time.
He was slapped into obedience by Lu Gaoming.
Gao Qinghe pinched Gao Qingya, the naughty girl who wanted to laugh, in a warning tone, and made her behave herself. Then he led Lu Gaoming into the house with a helpless smile and sat down.
