Gu Yanbai gave her a look that said, "You'll have to figure it out yourself."
Su Nianxue...
Okay, if it's convenient, she might—probably—really—definitely go.
So he saw right through her!
She quickly changed the subject, "To deal with scoundrels like the Liu family, you have to be even more shameless than them."
It's good that this commotion happened; it nipped all the potential problems in the bud.
From now on, the Liu family will never be able to cause any more trouble.
"Yes, my brother is getting married in a couple of days. Then we'll have a sister-in-law," Gu Yanliu said with a smile.
In her heart, Liu Yuanyuan, her sister-in-law, had never been acknowledged by her.
Of course, she didn't shout it more than a few times.
I've only run into her before when we're at the market in town. She calls her, but she's not willing to answer!
Of course, she was also quite unhappy, having offered her warm welcome only to be met with indifference.
But isn't this because I'm afraid of putting my elder brother in a difficult position?
Things will be better from now on. Sister Peach has a good personality and won't treat her like that.
Soon it was time for Gu Yansong's wedding.
Gu Yanbai and his sister went to the old house early to help.
They worked together with their uncles, aunts, and sisters-in-law in the clan.
Su Nianxue wanted to go too, but they wouldn't allow it, telling her to just wait and eat what was served.
So, when she saw that it was almost time, she leisurely went to the old house.
The old house is newly decorated today, with big red "double happiness" characters pasted everywhere on the gate, windows, and pillars, making it look very festive.
Several square tables were set up in the courtyard; a continuous feast would be served soon.
The aunties and older women are in charge of picking and washing the vegetables.
The men put on aprons and chopped the freshly slaughtered pork and mutton into different categories, then cut them into pieces according to the chef's instructions.
Near the corner of the wall, several large stoves have been added, and the soil on them is still very fresh, indicating that they were recently built.
Several large pots were placed on the stove, and the ingredients inside were bubbling away. The aroma of meat could already be faintly smelled in the yard.
"The old man is really generous. He not only slaughtered a pig, but also a sheep. This feast is quite lavish."
"Who can disagree? The old man is so generous. This banquet is probably the most impressive one in the surrounding villages."
Several elderly women chatted and laughed as they washed vegetables.
It was getting late, and guests were starting to arrive one after another.
Gu Yanhe, the eldest sister of the Gu family, also arrived with her two children.
As soon as Gu Yanliu saw her, she rushed out of the house, took her hand and smiled, "Sister, why are you only coming now?"
Didn't I tell you to come earlier?
"By the way, where's my brother-in-law? Why didn't he come?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yanhe's face showed a hint of embarrassment and indignation. "Hey, isn't it because Lanlan's grandma is sick?"
My uncles aren't home, so your brother-in-law will have to take it to the clinic.
"Oh, is that so? That's really unfortunate." Gu Yanliu didn't mind much; as long as her sister came, that was fine.
The two children obediently called out "Auntie".
Gu Yanliu smiled and pinched the two children's cheeks, then took one of them by the hand. "Come on, Auntie will take you inside to eat candy."
After they finished speaking, Su Nianxue called out "elder sister" to them.
This was the second time she had seen Gu Yanhe.
The last time we met was at her wedding, but we only exchanged a few words then.
She was wearing a slightly worn blue outfit, black pants, and black cloth shoes, and her hair was neatly combed.
Perhaps due to her thinness, her cheekbones were slightly prominent, her face was covered with some brown spots, her eyelids drooped, and her eyes showed undisguised fatigue.
She took Su Nianxue's wrist and smiled warmly, "It's Nianxue!"
The two chatted for a while, and soon firecrackers went off outside. The aunties shouted, "The bride is here! The bride is coming into the house!"
The two of them stopped talking and stood up from their stools together to go see the bride.
Today, Gu Yansong was wearing a smart black Zhongshan suit, making him look slender and upright.
His back, which was usually slightly hunched, was straight today.
He accepted everyone's teasing with a radiant smile, his mouth almost reaching his ears.
Peach, also wearing a red coat and a red beaded flower in her hair, followed Gu Yansong into the room with a shy expression.
The two were ushered into the main room.
Grandpa Gu sat at the head of the hall, sitting upright and receiving the newlyweds' kowtows.
Looking at the newlyweds in front of him, the old man felt both emotional and somewhat dazed.
After all these years of going around in circles, we've finally come back to where we started.
After the three bows were completed, the newlyweds were led into the bridal chamber.
Gu Yanhe took her arm and said, "Nianxue, let's go to the room and see your sister-in-law!"
Su Nianxue shook her head. There was a saying that pregnant women shouldn't enter the bridal chamber, and she felt it was better to believe it than not.
"Big sister, you go ahead, I won't go."
"What's wrong?" Gu Yanhe asked, puzzled.
"Big sister, you go ahead. My wife is pregnant, so it's not really appropriate for her to come into the bridal chamber," Gu Yanbai said with a smile as he came out of the room.
"Look at my stupid brain!" Gu Yanhe slapped her forehead, then looked a little embarrassed. "Look at my empty hands..."
"Sister, we're siblings, why are you being so formal?"
"Go ahead, it'll be good for you to keep your sister-in-law company." Gu Yanbai readily complied and changed his form of address.
The two children were standing to the side eating candy when they saw Gu Yanbai and ran over.
One of them grabbed his leg and shouted, "Uncle, you haven't come to our house for a long time."
Gu Yanbai squatted down and patiently patted the two children's heads, teasingly asking, "Do you miss your little uncle, or do you miss his candy?"
"Eat candy." Gu Yanhe's youngest son was only two years old. As soon as he heard him mention candy, he immediately replied in his childish voice.
"Idiot." Her eldest daughter looked at her younger brother with disdain. "Of course you miss your uncle. When your uncle comes, you'll get candy."
Gu Yanhe was a little embarrassed. "What are you two talking about? Come on, let's go see your aunt."
To prevent the two from saying anything inappropriate, Gu Yanhe simply took one child in each hand and led them to the new house.
After everyone left, Gu Yanbai took out a few candies from his pocket and stuffed them into Su Nianxue's hand.
"Eat a few pieces of wedding candy to share in the joy, and it will help you and your mother stay healthy in the future."
Especially the baby in the womb, it's said that eating wedding candy makes them easier to care for.
Is there such a saying?
"Yes, that's what the old folks in the village say." As he spoke, he tore open the wrapper of the wedding candy and stuffed it into her mouth.
After the wedding banquet, Su Nianxue went back home, since she had nothing to do if she stayed.
Just as she was about to leave, she heard Gu Yanhe call out, "Nianxue, I'll go with you."
The two children are a little sleepy; let them come to your house for a nap.
"Okay." She informed Gu Yanbai and then returned home with her mother and three children.
