The next day.
Around 11 a.m., Feng Xueyi and his wife, along with Feng Yuanyuan and her siblings, arrived at Shisong Village with the matchmaker hired by the bride's family. To prevent the Feng family from getting lost, Song Qingbin was waiting at the village entrance a little after 10 a.m. When they saw him, Feng Xueyi and his wife, as well as Feng Yuanyuan and her siblings, were all delighted, feeling that Song Qingbin was shrewd and thoughtful.
—They even knew to meet them at the village entrance.
The Song family, both the eldest and second eldest, knew that the Song family had a happy occasion today. Well, a few days ago, the Song couple told them that they would be hosting a banquet at their home today for Song Qingbin's girlfriend's family and the matchmaker. So, after breakfast this morning, the eldest and second eldest aunts of the Song family came to the Song family to help Li Jumei prepare for the guests.
However, they discovered that Li Jumei and her daughter Song Lan had already prepared everything yesterday afternoon. The two sisters-in-law teased Li Jumei, their sister-in-law, quite a bit about how she was looking forward to her daughter-in-law's arrival.
At the same time, he praised Song Lan for knowing how to care for her parents and for her good cooking skills.
Well, when they saw Qin Yanzheng and learned that he was Song Lan's husband, they showered him with praise again.
They kept praising Qin Yanzheng until he became embarrassed and made an excuse to go back to his room. Only then did Aunt Song and Aunt Song stop talking. But Song Lan and Li Jumei, who were watching from the side, could tell that the two of them were clearly still not satisfied.
Simply put, he's addicted to praising!
Song Qingbin led his future parents-in-law, fiancée Feng Yuanyuan, brother-in-law Feng Jianping, and the matchmaker hired by the Feng family into the courtyard. At first glance, the four members of the Feng family, along with the matchmaker, were satisfied with the Song family.
The yard was spacious and spotless, with nothing lying around.
The houses were not built with adobe bricks, but with brick and tile structures, and there were also special kitchens, woodsheds, and sheds for storing miscellaneous items.
It is convenient to use water and go to the toilet.
The vegetables they eat every day are grown in both the front and back yards. The house and the yard are equally clean and tidy, and you can tell from that you can tell that the lady of the house is a hardworking person.
Uncle Song, Uncle Song, and Song Sanhe sat in the main room talking with Feng Xueyi. Aunt Song and Aunt Song were assigned by Li Jumei to sit on the kang (a heated brick bed) to accompany Feng's mother and the matchmaker invited by the Feng family.
As for Song Guoqing, he was playing in the village with the two little ones and Feng Jianping.
Qin Yanzheng, the son-in-law, sat next to his father-in-law, Song Sanhe, as a guest of honor.
"Comrade Feng, please sit on the kang. My mother and I are fine here. You don't need to lift a finger."
Through Song Qingbin's introduction, Feng Yuanyuan learned that Song Lan was her sister-in-law. To be honest, she was truly amazed by Song Lan's appearance. She had thought Song Lan was beautiful enough on her own, but she hadn't expected this.
My partner's younger sister is much prettier than her, like a fairy descended to earth, but she gives off a very approachable vibe, unlike the aloof and cold aura of the legendary immortals.
"Then I'll stay here and keep you company while you talk to your aunt."
Feng Yuanyuan did not leave the kitchen. She was quite perceptive in helping Song Lan and would occasionally chat with Li Jumei, her future mother-in-law. This seemed to be in stark contrast to her cold personality.
"Okay, if I go to the county town, I'll come find you."
Song Lan agreed with a smile. Upon hearing this, Feng Yuanyuan, whose face was usually aloof, also put on a smile: "Our supply and marketing cooperative has defective products. No coupons are needed. If you need them, I can take you directly to the warehouse to pick them out."
During their casual conversation, Feng Yuanyuan mentioned her workplace, and out of politeness, Song Lan also revealed that she worked at the machinery factory's staff hospital. As they chatted, they found themselves getting along very well.
Li Jumei saw this and was delighted, feeling that she had found the right daughter-in-law.
"What are you talking about that makes you so happy?"
Song Qingbin's voice suddenly came from the kitchen doorway.
"No, we didn't talk about anything."
Upon seeing him, Feng Yuanyuan's face flushed as if she had applied rouge. She lowered her eyelids and moved closer to Song Lan. Seeing this, Song Lan teased Song Qingbin, "Brother, you scared Comrade Feng."
Upon hearing this, Song Qingbin was initially puzzled. When he realized that Song Lan was teasing him, his face flushed, and he didn't know where to look. He felt extremely uncomfortable.
Song Lan laughed out loud and continued to tease, "Aren't you going to apologize to Comrade Feng, brother?"
"Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to suddenly speak up."
At this moment, Song Qingbin acted like a complete idiot, actually doing as Song Lan said, and staring straight at Feng Yuanyuan as he apologized.
Feng Yuanyuan suppressed her discomfort and waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "No, I wasn't scared."
"Brother, you said you didn't do it on purpose, but did you do it intentionally?"
Song Lan glanced at Song Qingbin, then at Feng Yuanyuan, her smile carrying a deeper meaning. This time, she teased both of them together: "Or perhaps, you're deliberately trying to attract Comrade Feng's attention?"
Seeing that Feng Yuanyuan's face had turned even redder, Song Qingbin immediately stood up for his girlfriend: "Little sister, you can tease your big brother, but don't tease Comrade Feng."
"Mom, did you hear that? My older brother is so considerate; he's even protecting Comrade Feng!"
Song Lan said with a smile.
Li Jumei had already rolled her eyes inwardly and really wanted to give her son Song Qingbin two words: "Promising!"
But he said, "Yuanyuan is his betrothed. If he doesn't protect her, he'll be a bachelor for life."
Song Lan asked with a smile, "Mom, do you think I'm bullying my future sister-in-law?"
Li Jumei: "I don't care about what you two, sister-in-law and aunt, do." There wasn't much left to do in the kitchen, so Li Jumei turned her gaze to Song Qingbin: "Are the tables and chairs all set?"
"Um."
Song Qingbin nodded.
Li Jumei: "Everything is ready here. Go tell your dad to have everyone take their seats quickly."
