In the morning, Chen Man was woken up very early by the alarm clock.
She was alone in the bed.
Last night I was crazy and wanted to sleep alone. I tossed and turned and didn't know when I fell asleep.
Get up quickly, wash up, and put on makeup.
Chen Man changed into a red Chinese-style skirt suit and was very satisfied with the cut and texture of the clothes.
She had a simple Chinese bun and looked festive.
She looks elegant and intellectual, with a sense of being a beauty from time immemorial.
Open the door, walk out, stand at the railing outside the room and look at Xu Junyang's house.
There are many cars parked in his spacious yard.
There were also quite a few people standing in the yard, all dressed festively, and she heard the sound of chatting as soon as she entered the house.
Some people looked over here, laughing and chatting.
Chen Man looked on with a broad smile, neither avoiding nor giving way.
Stand for a while.
I saw more and more people coming into his yard. Some people came out of his house carrying baskets and put them neatly in the yard.
Chen Man saw someone counting the number of baskets.
Then, someone took firecrackers and placed them on the roadside between the two houses.
It seems like everything is ready, just waiting for an auspicious time.
Finally, Xu Junyang's tall figure appeared, holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand.
He saw Chen Man opposite him at a glance.
As the two looked at each other, firecrackers were lit and the flying red paper looked joyous.
Xu Junyang walked in front, his parents followed with happy smiles on their faces, and someone was carrying a basket behind them.
When Chen Man saw them coming, she went downstairs to greet them with a smile on her face.
It was just a few steps away and we soon arrived at her house.
Xu Junyang walked towards her and handed her the flowers.
Chen Man smiled at him and took it.
Xu Junyang hugged her.
After hugging her, Xia Meng also came over and hugged her, holding her hand tightly.
Everyone standing in the yard was smiling happily.
Because Chen Man has no elders, everything is kept simple.
Burn incense and paper and follow the procedures.
After the process is completed.
Xia Meng and Xu Helian greeted relatives and friends, and everything was arranged in an orderly manner.
Some people crowded into the kitchen, chatting while cooking.
The ingredients were prepared in advance and brought from the Xu family.
There were several tables set up in the yard, and a few decks of cards were thrown out. Those who couldn't help sat down and played cards.
Chen Man didn't know most of the Xu family's relatives, except those from the same clan in the village.
The scene was harmonious and relaxed. Apart from the initial formalities, everyone felt like they were at Chen Man's house.
Chen Man has a good personality and is cheerful with everyone she meets.
Chatting lively with everyone in the kitchen.
When everyone was chatting, they were very considerate of her.
Chen Man didn't eat breakfast in the morning, and neither did anyone else. A simple breakfast was made in the kitchen.
The meal officially started at around 2:00 p.m.
Chen Man also formally acknowledged the Xu family as her relative and called people over.
The recognition is completed.
The family sat around the table, quietly watching Grandpa Junyang calculate the date.
There are many good days.
Counted a few out.
One is two months later, one is National Day, and one is Chinese New Year.
"Man, which one do you want to choose?" Xia Meng asked her.
Chen Man wanted to choose one two months later, but was afraid that she would not have enough time to prepare things. She searched the Internet in advance to see how other people prepared for their weddings, and found that they all took at least half a year.
She looked at Xu Junyang hesitantly, "I don't know either. I saw online that it seems like it takes a long time to prepare for a wedding."
Xu Junyang: "Manman, do you want to do it in the village or in the city?"
As soon as Xu Junyang opened his mouth, no one spoke, waiting for them to finish.
Chen Man looked at him doubtfully, "Of course it's here, where else can I go?"
Xu Junyang smiled, "It's all fine, as long as you want."
Chen Man: "It's nice in the village. It's so strange outside. I like the banquets in the village. Everyone helps out together, it's so lively."
Xu Junyang nodded, meaning the same thing. "Yes. Then you can choose any date."
Chen Man: "Really?"
She pursed her lips and smiled sheepishly, glancing at everyone before looking at Xu Junyang. "You choose."
Xu Junyang thought about something, then said, "Manman, choose the one two months later."
This was exactly what Chen Man wanted. No wonder she was anxious; it was just that this matter had been on the table for so long that she just wanted to resolve it right away.
Chen Man: "Is it too late to prepare for the wedding?"
Xu Junyang: "There's still time. We don't need to book a hotel for the wedding, and we don't need to try out the food. Many things are much easier to make in the village than outside."
"As for the wedding, you only need to worry about the photography and wedding dresses. I will arrange the rest."
Xia Meng continued, "Two months is a bit tight. But if we prepare wholeheartedly, we can do it."
"You two aren't as busy as people in the city. You don't have to use your weekends to do this. You can always make time."
"Our whole family will actively cooperate."
Chen Man smiled and nodded, "Well, then it will be set for two months later."
Continue to discuss and determine the betrothal gift, wedding ceremony, how to decorate, what photographer to hire, whether to have best man and bridesmaid...
Xu Junyang took a pen and a notebook and wrote them down one by one.
The family chatted excitedly until midnight, when Chen Man yawned before they left.
"Okay, okay, we'll add the details tomorrow. Manman looks so sleepy that she's crying, let's all go to sleep." Xia Meng waved her hand and everyone dispersed.
Xu Junyang took Chen Man upstairs.
After taking a shower and doing skin care, the two of them lay on the bed.
"Brother Yang, why did you choose the one two months from now? Actually, I wanted to choose this one too. I just felt that since we'd already decided on something, the sooner we finish it, the more at ease we'll feel."
"I saw online that some people spend more than a year preparing for their weddings. They plan to have such a grand wedding."
Xu Junyang turned sideways, touched her face and looked at her seriously.
"You want a grand wedding, and I can do that, too. Do you want it?"
Chen Man smiled and said, "I don't want a grand one, I want a comfortable and warm one."
Xu Junyang: "I understand what you mean, don't worry. Didn't you ask me why I chose two months later and not longer?"
Chen Man nodded, "Yeah."
"I'm afraid you'll get pregnant and it will be inconvenient. I'd rather do it sooner rather than later. Only then will I feel at ease if you're really pregnant."
Chen Man: “…”
I never expected this.
Chen Man didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I thought you couldn't wait to marry me."
Xu Junyang looked at her with a smile, "Isn't it?"
