In the blink of an eye.
Three days before the wedding, the Sheng family arrived.
Originally, Sheng Yingying thought that although the letter had been sent, after what happened during the New Year, her family probably wouldn't come out in full force, and would only send her two brothers.
But it turned out that Sheng Yingying didn't understand their family at all.
Not only the two brothers came.
Everyone in the family came, including the old man and the old lady.
Sheng Yingying and Chen Lie went to the train station to pick them up. Seeing so many people carrying bags, Sheng Yingying's head jumped. Chen Lie raised his hand and hugged Sheng Yingying's shoulders. "It's okay. When the enemy comes, we will fight him. When the water comes, we will block it with earth. Now that you are here, we can't just send you back. Don't look so sad. Be cheerful."
Sheng Yingying then bent her lips hard.
Old Madam Sheng came over and said with a sullen face, "Was it easy traveling all this way to attend your wedding? My butt hurts from sitting on the train."
Sheng Yingying was still a little indignant, muttering softly, "Who asked you to come?"
The old lady glared and was about to lose her temper at the train station. Chen Lie quickly came out to smooth things over, saying with a smile, "Uncle, aunt, big brother, second brother, big sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, I have reserved a few rooms in the hotel in town in advance. Let's go there first, you can have a good rest, and I'll come over later to treat you to dinner."
The old lady looked behind them and said with a fierce face, "Where are the third son's family? His parents came to attend his wedding, but he and his wife refused to even show their faces?"
Chen Lie coughed lightly and said with a smile, "Aunt, please don't be angry. Third Brother and his family have been very busy recently, so it's the same for me to entertain you. A son-in-law is half a son, so you should treat me as your own son and give me orders."
Chen Lie's attitude was extremely good, which made the old lady curl her lips and said, "We're staying in a hotel in town for the time being, right? It's quite expensive for one night, right?"
Chen Lie took the luggage from their hands and said, "Money is not a problem. As long as uncle and aunt can live comfortably, that's all that matters."
This completely pleased the old lady. "Then go ahead. I need some sleep. I've been so shaken up all this time that my bones are almost falling apart."
Chen Lie came in the factory truck.
When the second brother saw it, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Brother-in-law, is this your car?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes fell on Chen Lie.
Chen Lie said half-truthfully, "It's the factory's car. It was idle today, so they asked me to drive it over."
The second brother touched it carefully and laughed, "This is much better than the small carts in our village. Tiedan, hurry up and get on. You haven't ridden in a cart before, have you?"
Tiedan immediately retorted to his father, "Who said I've never ridden in a car? I even rode in the small four-wheeled vehicle that Secretary Li drove when he came to our house last time."
Chen Lie smiled and said, "Everyone, get in the car. Let's go to the hotel first."
The Sheng family was sent to the hotel.
The old man and the old woman share a room, the eldest son's family has a room, and the second son's family has a room.
The second son walked around the room, touching the brand new thermos. "Wife, look at this thermos, it's better than ours. And this bed, the cushion is really soft, much better than our kang. Hey, the third son has a really good life. How can we have different fates when we were born to the same mother?"
Lu Xiuer sat on the bed, stroking the sheets with both hands. "Dad, the flowers on this sheet are really beautiful. I wonder if we can take the sheet with us when we leave?"
The second brother walked over and said, "Before you leave, you can secretly pull it up and put it in your bag. Who will know?"
Lu Xiuer smiled and nodded, and the couple reached a consensus on this matter.
Chen Lie bought another twenty meat buns outside the hotel. "Uncle, aunt, let's just make do with lunch. I'll treat you to dinner at the State-owned Hotel tonight."
The old lady took a meat bun with a thin skin and plenty of filling. After taking a bite, the fragrant meaty aroma filled her face. "It's okay, just eat something casually for lunch. Leave three for us, and give the rest to your eldest and second brothers. Tiedan has a good appetite, so give him an extra one."
Wait for Chen Lie to go out with the meat buns.
Sheng Yingying couldn't help but speak up for Dahua and Goudan, "Dahua and Goudan are also your grandchildren, don't be too partial to Xiaohua and Tiedan."
The old lady snorted heavily, "When you become a mother, you'll know that you can't treat everyone equally! Which parent doesn't like a talkative child?"
Sheng Yingying: “…”
The little girl stamped her feet angrily and turned away.
The old lady munched on a meat bun and nudged her husband with her elbow. "I was saying Yingying is a bad girl because she's been following the third son's wife. She used to be so well behaved at home and never raised her voice to me. But look at her now. Her eyes aren't eyes, her nose isn't a nose, and she's still yelling at me."
——
The day before the wedding.
Sheng Xijiang and Zhou Sese went to the train station in person to pick up Liu Fuhai's family and Shunzi's family.
"Xijiang."
"Third brother!"
The three grown men hugged each other and patted each other on the back.
Zhou Sese warmly pulled Liang Qiuguo and Shunzi's wife over and said, "I asked you to come over to play a few days in advance, but you said you had work to do at home. After the wedding tomorrow, I will take you to play enough, and then attend Yingying's wedding by the way."
Liang Qiuguo was holding a bag, hunched over, looking left and right. "It's warmer here than in our village."
Zhou Sese said angrily, "Why didn't you let your uncle and aunt come together?"
Liang Qiuguo patted her hand and said, "The journey is too long. It takes two days and two nights on the train. My body can't handle it. But my mother asked me to bring you a gift."
