Guan Yurong was suddenly startled, her heartbeat accelerated a lot, and then quickly returned to calm.
She observed the expressions of Xu Nuannuan and Old Lady Guan and said, "I, I really don't look much like my mother."
"Not only do you look nothing like me, you don't look much like your father either," said Mrs. Guan. "There aren't many children in this world who look exactly like their parents. Most people don't look much like their parents."
When Guan Yurong heard the first sentence that Old Madam Guan said, her heart started beating wildly again. What she feared most now was that someone would say that she did not look alike Old Madam Guan or Old Master Guan.
"Mom, you're right. The older you are, the spicier you are. You're much more knowledgeable than I am."
Seeing that there was no way to get Xu Nuannuan to talk anymore, she stood up and said goodbye and left.
After Xu Nuannuan and Old Lady Guan went out, they met Qin Xianglian not long after they left.
Qin Xianglian was a gossip-loving woman. She seemed to have forgotten her previous grudge with Xu Nuannuan. She took the initiative to run up to Xu Nuannuan and said, "Xu Zhiqing, there's something exciting going on in our brigade today. The only female college graduate in our village is getting married to the son of the deputy director of the commune. There's bound to be a big party at noon. I have to go and see it then."
Xu Nuannuan immediately thought of the girl who came to see Jiang Yang a few days ago. She was getting married.
She had never seen a girl here get married. "Okay, whose girl is it? I'll go see her at noon."
It’s a good opportunity to bring Mrs. Guan along to join in the fun.
"That girl's name is Shen Wenxiu. I'll tell you how to get to Old Shen's house."
Because it was the only female college student in the team who was getting married, and she was marrying the son of the commune leader, the team leader had to attend and preside over the wedding, so he left work early in the morning. Other people from the Shen family also left work earlier and went to attend the wedding.
Xu Nuannuan handed the sheep to Guadaner and asked Tuanzi to graze them with him, while she and Old Lady Guan went to watch the fun.
The deputy director of the commune's house was indeed very impressive. There were eight bicycles and two donkey carts, each of which was hung with red silk. This made everyone in the village envious.
"Look at them! They've got donkey carts and so many bicycles. Whose daughter's wedding could have such a grand ceremony? Humph, when my daughter got married, she didn't have any carts, just a donkey."
"She's marrying the son of the deputy director of the commune, and your daughter is marrying the son of a peasant family. How can it be the same?"
"Hey, my girl is not as lucky as her."
"Comparing people will only make you die, and comparing goods will only make you throw them away. Wenxiu is a college student, otherwise she wouldn't be able to marry into the deputy director's family."
Several musicians were playing music at Shen's house, and the yard was extremely lively and festive.
Father Shen was more excited than ever, greeting the guests with a sneer of his big yellow teeth, and the corners of his mouth never fell.
He also asked his two sons to welcome the guests outside. The two sons were very happy and could not wait to bow and nod when they saw Zhang Hongqi.
Shen Wenxiu was the only one in the room. Even on such a happy day, her pretty face was filled with melancholy. She didn't smile until a guest came into the room to see her.
Her parents said that she must perform well in today's play, make the Zhang family happy, and make sure that all the neighbors in the brigade cannot find any fault with her, otherwise she will not be able to go to university.
There were people in the Shen family's yard, in the house, and even at the door.
Xu Nuannuan and Old Lady Guan were watching outside. The groom Zhang Hongqi carried the bride Shen Wenxiu out of the house, put her on his bicycle, and placed her on the back seat. The people around cheered and gave them their blessings.
When the four members of the Jiang family got off work, they happened to meet the wedding party returning to town.
Jiang Ting noticed the bustling wedding procession. "Mom, look who's getting married in our team? There are so many bicycles and even donkey carts. This is quite a grand procession."
The other three were also very curious. "Let's go over and take a look and join in the fun," said Mei Xiangcao.
Jiang Ye was not interested in this kind of thing. "You guys go and watch it. I'll go home and cook."
Watching those boring things is not as important as eating.
Jiang Yang seemed to have guessed that today's bride was Shen Wenxiu. His heart seemed to be hit by a huge rock, sinking bit by bit.
He wanted to go home, afraid of seeing a scene that would break her heart, but his feet would not obey him.
Today was the most beautiful day of her life as a bride. She wanted to look at him and didn't want to miss his best moment.
The wedding procession arrived. Shen Wenxiu, dressed in bright red, sat in the back seat of Zhang Hongqi's car. The car was moving slowly, followed by a large number of relatives and neighbors who had come to see the bride off and to join in the fun.
Shen Wenxiu did not forget her father's instructions and kept smiling until she saw Jiang Yang in the crowd. Her expression stiffened for a moment, and then she continued to smile like a daughter.
As the bicycle passed Jiang Yang, he saw Sister Wenxiu smiling happily. She must be happy in her heart.
Sister Wenxiu, I hope you can always be happy.
As the convoy moved away, Shen Wenxiu's figure gradually disappeared from his sight, and his heart slowly calmed down.
Sister Wenxiu, goodbye!
After watching it, he did not go home, but hid in a corner and cried for a long time.
Old Mrs. Guan did not stay with Xu Nuannuan all the time. In the afternoon, she went to the field to see Lin Ruyan. Lin Ruyan was hoeing the field, and Guan Yurong was not by her side. She went to take the hoe from Lin Ruyan's hand.
"Ruyan, grandma will help you, you take a rest."
Lin Ruyan really handed the hoe to her and went to rest nearby.
Who asked the old lady to be so nice to Xu Nuannuan? She must have helped Xu Nuannuan with work. If that's the case, she should help herself too.
