Chapter 526: Bride
In addition to Su Jiaojiao, Wang Jianming and Chen Jiang also went to see the bride off.
The Chen family has only one brother, Chen Jiang, who is of similar age. There are always two people accompanying the bride, so they can only choose one from their brothers-in-law to make up the number.
Among their relatives, only Su Jiaojiao is unmarried, and Xiao Suisui is still young, so they are still short of a bridesmaid. Chen Juan originally wanted to find another one from the village, but Zhao Shunfa's mother said that Zhao Shunfa's sister should take the place and there is no need to find an outsider.
Chen Juan bought her own wedding dress, a popular red mini-dress. She did not wear a wedding gown. The store that took their wedding photos was responsible for doing their makeup at home. The task of picking up and dropping off the makeup artist fell on Lu Jingyou, who was responsible for picking up and dropping off the bride's family and running daily errands.
Zhao Shunfa has returned to his hometown these two days and is not in the village. It is not convenient for Lu Jingyou to live in someone else's new house, and Chen Guisheng's house is too crowded. He stays in the village during the day and stays at Guolv Hotel at night.
The night before, Lu Jingyou simply took Wang Jianming and Chen Jiang to the International Travel Hotel to rest. At three o'clock in the morning, the three of them set out from the International Travel Hotel, went to the makeup artist's home to pick her up, and returned to Wutong Village in a mighty group.
Chen Guilan and Xu Yue'e did not sleep all night and prepared breakfast with the women from the village who came to help. They finished the meal at four in the morning and then sat on the kang to rest and chat.
Su Jiaojiao and Chen Juan were also busy most of the night packing their suitcases. Although Chen Juan moved back to the village after getting married, she still made all the necessary preparations.
The two of them kept waking up and down until Lu Jingyou came with his makeup artist, and then Su Jiaojiao got up from the bed to help.
Chen Juan herself makes clothes, so Su Jiaojiao didn't buy much for her. She just gave her two wool sweaters, one bright red and one light red, which were very suitable for a bride.
It was almost five o'clock when I finished putting on my makeup.
It was still dark outside. A little after five o'clock, firecrackers were set off in the alley, and Zhao Shunfa's wedding car arrived.
Wang Jianming and Chen Jiang discussed blocking the door, but Chen Guisheng told them not to, saying that there was not enough time. He also said that in their place the wedding had to be held before dawn, and the journey was long, so they couldn't delay it for too long.
"Such a good gate, and you don't allow us to block it?" Wang Jianming said with some regret, and said to Lu Jingyou, "If you let me block the door, Xiao Zhao will definitely not be able to get in."
"They're getting married, and you won't let them in?" Lu Jingyou was very excited as it was his first time attending a rural wedding. "My brother-in-law told me that if we don't block the door, he'll give us red envelopes."
"That's better." Wang Jianming then squeezed into the crowd to watch the excitement. Chen Jiang was in charge of welcoming the bride and had been waiting at the entrance of the alley early.
Others also ran out to watch the fun.
Chen Juan had already put on her wedding dress and was sitting on the kang, waiting. After putting on her makeup, she looked like a completely different person. The makeup artist said she looked like a celebrity on TV. Su Jiaojiao hadn't expected Chen Juan to look so good with makeup on. She held up a mirror and showed Chen Juan, "Today you are the most beautiful bride in the world."
Chen Juan blushed at the praise from both of them.
The makeup artist was a young girl. She also put light makeup on Su Jiaojiao and kept praising her good skin, saying that she almost didn't need foundation to cover up blemishes.
Xu Yue'e and Chen Guilan stood at the door and watched. As they watched, Xu Yue'e could no longer hold back her tears and ran to the inner room to wipe her tears. Chen Guilan simply pulled her to the kitchen and said that the food was ready and she should not go to see them.
Chen Guisheng had already told Chen Guilan not to let Xu Yue'e get too excited and that it would be better to keep her busy, in case she fell ill and it would be troublesome.
Chen Juan didn't notice Xu Yue'e's unusual behavior. She also thought her makeup looked particularly beautiful today, so she told Su Jiaojiao, "My sister-in-law will be here later. I'll ask her to carry the washbasin and other things. Xiao Zhao said Xiao Lu brought a camera. Please help me take a few more photos. I'm worried about other people taking photos."
Su Jiaojiao said no problem, found Lu Jingyou at the door and asked him for the camera.
For this wedding, Lu Jingyou specially brought the digital camera he had just bought a few days ago. When he saw Su Jiaojiao was also wearing makeup, he squeezed her hand and whispered, "My wife is still the most beautiful."
"My husband is also the most handsome." Su Jiaojiao looked at him with a smile, "I want to use the camera. Can you teach me how to use it?"
Lu Jingyou taught her step by step: "Go take a few pictures first, and don't ask me again. Anyway, I'll be with you all day."
"Then I'll try it first." Su Jiaojiao took the camera and took a photo of Lu Jingyou. Lu Jingyou looked at it and said, "It's okay. When there's more light later, the picture will be clearer."
In this day and age, weddings in the village are rarely recorded, and there are no dedicated photographers. Relatives and friends just help take photos.
Su Jiaojiao must fulfill Chen Juan's wish and help her take good photos.
The two were looking at photos at the door when they heard cheers in the yard. A crowd of people surrounded Zhao Shunfa and walked in. Su Jiaojiao immediately started taking pictures and began to record the beautiful moment of Zhao Shunfa picking up his bride.
From entering the house to picking up the bride to having dinner and then leaving, it took less than an hour, and everyone was busy entertaining the guests.
As the mother-in-law, Xu Yue'e was always busy. Even during the tea-serving and changing-the-mouth ceremony, she had no time to feel sad. By the time she realized what was happening, the wedding car had already driven out of the village amid the sound of firecrackers.
After getting in the car, Su Jiaojiao's ears finally calmed down. She fiddled with the camera and looked at the photos she had taken before. She was very satisfied. She was mainly responsible for taking pictures of Chen Juan and thought every one of them was beautiful.
Lu Jingyou was the driver, Su Jiaojiao was in the passenger seat, and Chen Jiang and Wang Jianming were in the back seat. As soon as Wang Jianming sat down, he started talking about Zhao Shunfa's wedding party: "I don't understand what they say. When we get to their house, we'll just eat and drink."
"Brother-in-law, don't get drunk." Chen Jiang instructed Wang Jianming, "If you get drunk, I won't be in the mood to dance with you."
When Su Jiaojiao heard this, she laughed out loud.
She knew that Chen Jiang was talking about the time in the first month of the lunar year when Wang Jianming got drunk and started dancing, and it was a ballroom dance, which was so funny.
"It's okay, brother-in-law, go ahead and drink. If you get drunk, I'll dance with you." Lu Jingyou was in a good mood and looked very energetic. He even asked Su Jiaojiao, "Boss, can I drink?"
"Drink if you want." Su Jiaojiao didn't say to stop him from drinking, "If you get drunk, I'll drive when you come back.
"Did you hear that?" Chen Jiang said to Wang Jianming, "It turns out Xiao Lu is also henpecked. Don't criticize me anymore."
"Whether Xiao Lu is henpecked or not, we'll know after we get married." Wang Jianming is very experienced. "But you are truly henpecked. Your Cheng Yu says one thing, and you dare not say another."
"Then I have to learn from my cousin and be a henpecked husband." Lu Jingyou turned his head to look at Su Jiaojiao and said seriously, "I like being controlled by my wife."
Su Jiaojiao just smiled.
"Brother-in-law, look at Xiao Lu's current state." Chen Jiang said immediately, "It's not shameful to be a henpecked husband. You should join our camp!"
"That's all you've achieved." Wang Jianming didn't want to talk anymore and leaned back in the car seat with his eyes closed.
After leaving Jiao County, the wedding car team took an hour and a half to enter Zhaojia Village.
Zhaojia Village is located on a mountain ridge and the terrain is not flat.
The car bumped along the way before it stopped along with the team.
Su Jiaojiao got out of the car first and prepared to take pictures.
