Gu Yanliu chuckled dryly twice, "Then my sister-in-law is right, so I have to agree!"
I'd like to learn from you, but you leave early and come home late, so even if I wanted to, there's nowhere for me to learn!
"You still remember you have an older brother?"
"I thought you were obsessed with money with your sister-in-law," Gu Yanbai teased the two of them.
Su Nianxue pretended not to understand; after all, saying a few words to him wouldn't hurt her.
"How could that be?"
I was raised on rice porridge by my brother; I could forget anyone but you!
Gu Yanliu chuckled and even gave him a gentle squeeze on the shoulder.
"Your words are getting more and more slick!"
Gu Yanbai looked disgusted, but his words were honest: "A little lower, a little to the right. Yes, right there, put some pressure on it!"
Gu Yanliu showed no impatience, smilingly following his instructions and gently tapping his shoulder.
…………
After breakfast, Gu Yanbai gave them a few instructions and then rode his bicycle to town.
Having received his confirmation, Gu Yanliu had no more reservations.
The beans were soaked early in the morning, which made Su Nianxue want to laugh.
This little guy is much more enthusiastic than her.
…………
Gu Yanbai helped Zhou Mingjie tidy up for a while, then said, "You take care of it first, I'm going out for a bit."
"Where are you going? Didn't we agree that you'd help me tidy up the house?" Zhou Mingjie muttered.
"Don't worry, I won't delay your business. I'll be back in a bit." A faint smile played on his lips, but it looked rather eerie.
Zhou Mingjie had a sudden inspiration, "Okay, go ahead and do your thing!"
Soon, word spread throughout the town that the newly opened clothing store had probably offended someone.
These past few days, people have been coming to cause trouble, and the little girl is too scared to open the door.
The two seemed unaware of the matter, focusing only on tidying up the house.
However, Zhou Mingjie's gaze towards him held a deeper meaning.
I wanted to say something, but when the words reached my lips, they only turned into a soft sigh.
The townspeople were speculating that the clothing store was probably going to go out of business.
What a waste that this shop was doing such a good business!
If we're talking about who's happiest about this, it's naturally the Wang family tailor shop across the street.
Once that clothing store closes down, their business will probably... pick up again, right?
However, to the Wang family's disappointment, the clothing store reopened a few days later, but the owner had changed.
Soon, it was time for Zhou Mingjie's wedding.
After having breakfast and getting ready, Gu Yanbai took his wife and sister to town.
Zhou Mingjie was close to Gu Yanbai and also acquainted with Gu Yanliu, so he simply brought the girl along as well.
Today, the Zhou family's courtyard was decorated in a very festive manner.
The gate, walls, and windows were all covered with large red double happiness characters, which looked very festive.
The two had only been sitting for a short while when they heard a series of firecracker sounds.
Everyone understood that the bride had entered the house.
As the wedding emcee's powerful "First bow to heaven and earth" resounded, the wedding reached its climax.
After the three bows ceremony, the bride was escorted to the decorated bridal chamber.
There weren't many guests at the Zhou family's house today.
Like Gu Yanbai, Zhou Mingjie didn't have a good reputation, and not many people associated with him.
In addition, he was from out of town and didn't have any relatives here.
There were even fewer female guests, so the bridal chamber was deserted and no one came to see the bride.
Su Nianxue saw a familiar face today.
Since there was still some time before the banquet, she simply dragged Gu Yanliu to the bridal chamber with her.
In the new house.
Because the dowry bed had not yet been set up, the bride sat on a chair.
Upon seeing Su Nianxue, her eyes brightened. "Nianxue?"
"Hongxing, so you are Zhou Mingjie's bride. What a coincidence!"
Su Nianxue stepped forward and grabbed her wrist; both of them were very excited.
"Nianxue, I heard you married Gu Yanbai. So he was Zhou Mingjie's friend. That's great, now I'll have company."
"Yes, our home isn't far from town. You can come visit us whenever you have time."
Seeing the two of them acting so familiar, Gu Yanliu couldn't help but ask, "Sister-in-law, do you two know each other?"
"Yes, I know her. Hongxing was my elementary school classmate, and we were even deskmates. We were really close back in school."
Yang Hongxing is from the next village. When they were little, they went to school together at the brigade headquarters.
However, she has many siblings, and her parents simply cannot afford to send so many children to school.
Therefore, Yang Hongxing only completed the fourth grade and never went to school again.
However, the two still run into each other from time to time, and their relationship is fairly good.
She then introduced Gu Yanliu to her.
Yang Hongxing was a little nervous at first, but she immediately relaxed when she saw the two sisters-in-law.
Su Nianxue carefully examined her.
She was darker and much thinner than the last time I saw her, but her eyes were very bright.
She wore two shoulder-length braids, each tied with a red ribbon into two pretty bows.
However, although she was a bit dark-skinned and thin, she was not ugly, and her smile made people feel very friendly.
The two chatted about everyday things, but they didn't neglect Gu Yanliu.
The three chatted more and more enthusiastically, and if it weren't for the sound of firecrackers outside the gate, they probably would have had a lot more to talk about.
