Xia Jianjun: "How could you, you little brat, let Miss Tang send us another package?"
"She was already in a lot of trouble in the village, and now she's sending it here again. You guys need a lot of money for your wedding."
"Grandpa, you know Yanyan's personality. Besides, aren't we going to have a wedding? When the time comes, give a big red envelope to mom and dad and ask them to give it to Yanyan."
"I know it all even without you telling me. Miss Tang is such a sensible and filial granddaughter-in-law. She's been so good to us, so we must be good to her as well. We must learn to reciprocate."
"Okay, give the phone to Tang girl. I need to say a few words to my good grandson's wife. You can get as far away as you can."
"Hmph, Grandpa, now that you have a granddaughter-in-law, you don't want me as your grandson anymore?"
"Get out of here now and tell my good granddaughter-in-law to come talk to me."
Xia Jinnian handed the phone to Tang Shiyan, "Grandpa, this is Tang Shiyan. How are you and grandma?"
"Tang girl, your grandma and I are in good health, don't worry. I heard from that brat Jinnian that you sent us a package."
"Why don't you keep it for yourself? When we were in the village, you used to make delicious meals and send them to us every now and then, which was really troublesome."
"Grandpa, please don't be polite to me. You are all Jinnian's family elders, so it's only right that I treat you well."
"By the way, Grandpa, I brought you some medicinal wine. Remember to drink it with Grandma, and don't give it to anyone else."
"Yeah, Tang girl, I get it. If that brat Jinnian bullies you, just tell me and I'll come over and give him a good beating."
"Haha, Grandpa, I get it. Is Grandma here with you?"
"Tang girl, your grandma is out for a walk with her old sisters. When she comes back, I will tell her the good news of your marriage."
"Okay, Grandpa, I'll hang up if there's nothing else. Jinnian still needs to call a few of his good friends."
"Grandpa, you and grandma should take good care of yourselves. Maybe we can meet again soon. Goodbye, Grandpa."
"Okay, Tang girl, goodbye."
Tang Shiyan hung up the phone, and Yan Xuemei continued to dial several other numbers on the note.
After the call was connected, Xia Jinnian told his good friends and good brothers in the army the good news of his marriage.
Twenty minutes later, after finishing all the calls, Xia Jinnian asked, "Comrade, could you please calculate the total cost of the phone calls and the package?"
Yan Xuemei calculated and said, "Comrade, your package is a bit large, so the shipping fee is a bit expensive. It's nine yuan and fifty cents in total."
"I just heard you say you're getting married with this beautiful woman. I'd like to congratulate you both and wish you a long and happy marriage."
Xia Jinnian counted out nine yuan and fifty cents and handed it to the staff. He also grabbed a handful of White Rabbit milk candies from Tang Shiyan's bag and handed two to each of the post office staff.
"Comrade, thank you for your blessing. If nothing else, we'll be leaving now. Take your time with your work."
Everyone holding the candy was very happy. This was the wedding candy they received. It was really a great honor to be able to eat the wedding candy of Xia Jinnian and Tang Shiyan, the golden boy and jade girl.
At the Xia family, Xia Jianjun had just hung up the phone when Lin Lihong came back from a walk outside. Xia Jianjun quickly said:
"Old lady, you were away just now and missed some good news. Can you guess what it is?"
"Old man, stop keeping me in suspense. If you have any good news, just tell me directly. Why make an old woman like me guess?"
"Oh, old woman, just guess, this good news will surely keep you awake at night."
"I'm too lazy to guess. You can tell me or not. If you don't, I'll leave. You're already old and you're still imitating young people to play games."
"Hey, old woman, why don't you cooperate with me? Your eldest grandson's wife just called and said they are having their wedding in five days."
"He called to let us know. Jinnian knows that we're old and it's been hard for us to get back from that place, and it's inconvenient to take a car."
"He just wants to see if his parents have time to attend his wedding with Miss Tang?"
Lin Lihong was so happy when she heard the news, "Old man, getting married is a happy and auspicious thing."
"You didn't even tell me directly and made me guess. Looks like you'll have to sleep under the bed tonight."
"Also, even if the two of us can't attend, we should at least let Jinnian's parents attend. Getting married is a big deal."
"It's not right for parents not to attend. No matter how busy or busy they are, they must attend the wedding of their eldest grandson and his wife."
Tang Shiyan and Xia Jinnian walked out of the post office, rode their bicycles and headed towards Yunxi Village. When they returned home, they started cooking dinner.
Forty minutes later, the two of them brought the hot meal to the table. Every time they would fill Xiaotian's bowl with his favorite dishes before they started eating.
"Jinnian, let's go to the space and take a look. Write down the dishes for the wedding with pen and paper. Also write down how much of each dish you'll prepare."
"Although I only invite people who are nice to me, after all, we have to prepare so many delicious dishes on the wedding day."
"It's inevitable that there will be those shameless people who come uninvited, so we have to prepare more food. We don't want people to think we are stingy."
"Okay, Yanyan, everything is up to you."
Twenty minutes later, the two finished their meal, cleared the dishes, and slipped into the space. Tang Shiyan took out a pen and paper and handed it to Xia Jinnian, asking him to write down every dish she mentioned.
Tang Shiyan prepared many dishes including braised pork, braised beef, braised prawns, braised fish, spicy chicken wings, pheasant soup, shredded pork with green peppers, vegetables with garlic, and cold cucumber salad.
After the two of them wrote down all the necessary dishes, drinks, and liquor, it was almost ten o'clock, so they took a shower in the space and went to bed.
Xia Jinnian thought that he would be able to marry his beloved woman soon, so he took a bath and returned to his room obediently this time.
The two of them slept until they woke up naturally. Tang Shi didn't have to work these days anyway, so she stayed in bed for a long time before getting up. It was only when Xia Jinnian prepared breakfast and called her that she got up.
Time flies. Tomorrow is their wedding day. Xia Jinnian's good brothers in the army, Zhou Jinrui, Su Chengyuan, and Feng Shuhuai arrived here a day in advance.
It just so happened that today a few people helped to fetch water, tidy up the room, and cleaned the house from front to back. After all, tomorrow is their boss's wedding banquet, and it would be unpleasant to look at if it was too dirty.
After the three of them cleaned the place, they took out red paper and used scissors to cut out a lot of "囍" characters. They pasted these characters everywhere inside and outside the house, making it look particularly festive. This is how a wedding should look like.
