Yu Xiangnian didn't understand what Li Cuihua wanted to talk to her about, and she looked at Cheng Jingmo in confusion.
Cheng Jingmo signaled her to answer with his eyes.
Yu Xiangnian responded to the door, "I'm here."
Li Cuihua said outside: "The guests are coming soon, let me help you comb your hair."
Yu Xiangnian didn't understand why Li Cuihua wanted to help her comb her hair, and looking at Cheng Jingmo's expression, he also didn't understand anything.
However, Cheng Jingmo's eyes told her that she could let Li Cuihua comb her hair.
He opened the door and walked out, "Excuse me, sister-in-law."
Li Cuihua walked in and saw the festive floral cotton jacket on the bed. She said happily, "You have such fair skin. You will look better in this than any other bride here!"
Yu Xiangnian asked half-doubtfully, "Do girls here have to dress like this for their weddings?"
Li Cuihua said: "You have to be well-off to wear it. People with poor conditions can't afford to buy such clothes."
Yu Xiangnian asked again: "Do girls here also have to wear the same hairstyle when they get married?"
Otherwise, why would Li Cuihua help her comb her hair?
"It's a similar hairstyle anyway!" Li Cuihua laughed. "The custom here is that the bride's mother has to help her comb her hair on the wedding day. Your family members aren't here, so I'll help you."
"Oh..." Yu Xiangnian sat on the edge of the bed, "Then thank you for your help."
"What's the trouble with a family?"
Li Cuihua braided two braids at the back of Yu Xiangnian's head, then twisted the two braids together and tied them into a bun at the back of her head.
"You're done combing your hair. Hurry up and change your clothes. I'm going out first."
"Thanks."
After Li Cuihua left, Yu Xiangnian looked at her bun in the mirror and found it a bit rustic.
Cheng Jingmo bought this mirror from the supply and marketing cooperative this morning.
She changed into her flowery cotton jacket and put on a pair of black cloth shoes.
She put on her makeup again in front of the mirror before going out.
Cheng Jingmo was wearing a black Mao suit, with a small part of the white shirt collar showing at his neck, and a pair of black leather shoes on his feet.
Among the people present, he was the tallest and the most handsome. With this outfit, he was simply the most handsome guy in the village!
Of course, as soon as Yu Xiangnian came out, Cheng Jingmo saw her.
Her hair was neatly tied behind her head, revealing her small oval face, which was the size of a palm, and her delicate features, making her look even more perfect.
She has a tall and slender figure, and the cotton-padded jacket does not make her look bulky, but rather adds a touch of delicate and earthly charm.
It's like a fairy descending to earth, contaminated by the worldly atmosphere.
The two looked at each other with joy and satisfaction in their eyes.
Yu Xiangnian slowly approached Cheng Jingmo, pouting her red lips, "Are you sure I'm good-looking?"
Cheng Jingmo understood Yu Xiangnian and would rather die than be ugly.
He replied from the bottom of his heart: "Looks good, you look the best today!"
Yu Xiangnian smiled with satisfaction, "I even put on makeup." She almost never wears makeup.
"Yeah." Cheng Jingmo could only see that she was wearing lipstick. "You look good with or without makeup."
The two have been talking and interacting in this way since they met, and neither of them thinks there is anything wrong with it.
But in the eyes of outsiders, the couple were being affectionate in front of so many people.
It's really eye-catching!
Naturally, rumors started.
No wonder, the wife of the pick-up boy stays at home doing nothing every day, and the pick-up boy is willing to support her.
It's just that face and figure that make her a real vixen. The kid who picked up the baby was completely bewitched by her.
No wonder Jianwa refused to marry Shuanchun back then.
With such a vixen, who would want the rustic Shuanchun!
Guests began to arrive one after another. Yu Xiangnian held a tray with the candies they had bought on it, and stood at the door with Cheng Jingmo to welcome the guests.
In fact, Cheng Jingmo couldn't recognize many of the guests who came.
Fortunately, Cheng Shuanzhu was standing at the door to help greet the guests and introduce them.
"Brother Picking Up Babies, you finally came back!" A woman in her twenties, holding a child in one hand, said in a tone with a hint of complaint and resentment.
"Shuanchun, you're here." Cheng Jingmo said in the same calm tone as always.
Then he introduced Xiang Nian, "This is the second child in the family, Cheng Shuanchun."
In fact, Yu Xiangnian could see it without Cheng Jingmo's introduction.
This family has very similar facial features, having inherited Cheng Huazi's round face and Mu Huanzhen's bulbous nose.
It’s only that Cheng Jingmo is not their biological son, otherwise, with their similar looks, no matter how outstanding he is, Yu Xiangnian would not look down on him!
"Hello, Cheng Shuanchun." Yu Xiangnian said with a smile.
Yu Xiangnian was six or seven centimeters taller than Cheng Shuanchun. Cheng Shuanchun raised his eyelids and glanced at her sideways.
Yu Xiangnian could feel Cheng Shuanchun's unfriendly attitude.
She felt confused!
Yu Xiangnian avoided Cheng Shuanchun's unfriendly gaze, grabbed two candies from the tray and gave them to the two children.
"Shuanchun, Tiedong didn't come?" Cheng Shuanzhu asked from the side.
"Brother." Cheng Shuanchun then turned his gaze to look at Cheng Shuanzhu, "The work in the fields is not finished yet, he will come over later."
"Take the child in." Cheng Shuanzhu said.
A few more guests came and were invited in.
At this time, a very thin woman came over, holding a boy about three years old in her hand.
The woman was about twenty years old, wearing clean light gray clothes, her hair was tied in a braid and combed back at the back of her head, she had an oval face, and her skin was whiter than the other women here.
Unfortunately, there is an injury on the left cheekbone, with a bruise, and there are also some bruises at the corners of the eyes.
"Brother Pickup Baby, you're back." Her voice was very delicate and comfortable, unlike the other women here.
Cheng Jingmo stared at the woman for a moment before recognizing her. "Dongju?"
The woman smiled somewhat reluctantly, "You can still recognize me." Then she looked at Yu Xiangnian, "Sister-in-law is really beautiful."
A woman's intuition told Yu Xiangnian that Cheng Jingmo had a special relationship with the woman in front of him!
When Cheng Jingmo looked at Dongju, there was a fluctuation in his eyes, and when Dongju looked at Cheng Jingmo, there was sadness and joy in her eyes.
Could it be her childhood sweetheart's first love?!
Cheng Jingmo greeted her, "Come in and sit for a while, it's almost time for dinner."
Dongju smiled and nodded.
Yu Xiangnian bent down and let Dongju's child help himself to the candy.
Dongju instructed the child, "Take one."
Because of this sentence, Yu Xiangnian had a pretty good impression of Dongju.
Other women said they would take less, but in fact they were watching the children taking candies out of the corner of their eyes, and they hoped that the children would grab more.
But Dongju was sincere, and she asked the child to take only one candy.
After Dongju brought the child in, Cheng Shuanzhu said something casually.
"Dongju has a miserable life. Her father died a few years ago, and she found a man who is lazy and gluttonous. He even beats her and her mother when he's drunk."
Yu Xiangnian saw Cheng Jingmo's eyelids droop.
Yu Xiangnian had already imagined a scenario: childhood sweethearts had been separated for many years, and when he learned that the other was not doing well, he felt guilty, painful and pity.
