After reporting her work to Zhang Hongmei, Wang Ying grinned and said, "Hongmei, now I'll know the process for Zhiyu's wedding."
Zhang Hongmei smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Wang Ying waved her hand, "Having this kind of job is an experience I can look back on and brag about when I'm old."
Zhang Hongmei specifically called Liu Yuqiang, the current village head of Liujiatun, and asked him to help prepare the materials for the banquet. She requested five pigs, as well as chickens, ducks, and fish. This time, she also prepared seafood and asked the logistics company to deliver it directly to the banquet.
Then came the 3rd, Zhenye and his friends' 20th birthday.
The four daughters-in-law also came today, not only to celebrate their husbands' birthdays, but also to try on clothes. It's 1986 now, and they're old enough to wear wedding dresses, but Zhang Hongmei discussed it with the four of them and decided not to dress up like that.
Their identities are sensitive, so it's best to avoid these things.
Yang Lijun and the others had no objections; they also had their own wedding dresses, but they hadn't arrived yet.
Carlos's family and Zhao Tiancheng's family should arrive around the 8th. Lu Xing prepared the wedding dress.
This time, the designer created Chinese-style dresses for them, not as extravagant as those from ancient times. However, all four of them really liked the bright red dresses hanging there.
"Mom, this dress is so beautiful."
"Okay, you four go try them on, and have them alter any parts that don't fit immediately."
The four girls happily carried their clothes to the changing room.
When the four of them came out and stood in the living room, Zhang Weiyu clapped his hands with a smile and said, "Not bad, they really look pretty."
The other three people were also very satisfied with the dresses.
Zhang Hongmei circled around the four of them and asked, "It's alright. Do you think there are any areas that need improvement?"
All four of them shook their heads. "Mom, no need. This dress is too well made."
Zhang Hongmei laughed, "That's right, this was designed and produced by our company's top designers, how could it not be beautiful?"
Zhenye, your formal attire is in your room. Go change and take a look.
When the four brothers came out, Zhang Hongmei's eyes were a little wet.
My son has grown up and is so handsome.
Yang Lijun and the other three were also stunned. They usually wore black, gray and blue clothes, and even when they wore white shirts, they looked particularly handsome. They never expected that they would look so eye-catching in bright red.
"Mom, how is it?" Zhang Weiyu flicked his sleeves and asked his mother, who was in a daze, with a grin.
"My son is so handsome, Lijun, you four better keep a close eye on him, don't let anyone steal him away. And you four must remember, you are all married men, I absolutely forbid you from having any frivolous thoughts."
The four brothers smiled helplessly. "Mom, we're your sons. How could you not know us? How could we not?"
The four daughters-in-law were quite touched. Meeting such a mother-in-law must be the happiest thing, right? At least there won't be any conflicts in the future. She's almost as good as a biological mother.
At this moment, Gu Chuanming and Zhang Xingguo came in. Seeing the eight children in red in the living room, the two old people burst into tears.
Zhang Weiyu quickly tried to coax them, and after a few words, the two elderly people were all smiles.
"Chengzi, hurry up and find a video camera and a video recorder, and quickly take pictures and record videos for us."
No, I need to change my clothes too. Xingguo, let's hurry.
Hongmei, you go change your clothes too.
"Grandpa, there'll be plenty of time later." After all, the child's father isn't home.
"Later is later, hurry up, we won't take him with us if Shouyi isn't home."
The four brothers all laughed. Actually, their father was just an outsider at home, wasn't he? Twenty minutes later, the eleven family members had been in front of the video recorder and camera for over an hour before the old man was finally satisfied.
"Take these six outfits back with you all. The shoes and jewelry are all matching sets."
The makeup artist will be there on the 9th. You can discuss and arrange everything together. Just tell them what you need.
Yang Lijun and the other three nodded; everything had been prepared for them.
"Hongmei, I heard Annie is coming over, is that right?"
"Yes, their whole family came, as did Zhao Tiancheng's family. They even brought wedding dresses for Lijun and the other three."
"Hongmei, when will they arrive?"
Number eight.
"Oh! When they arrive, let Zhenye and the others wear formal attire, and then our family will take a picture together."
Zhang Hongmei nodded with a smile. "Okay, no problem. Lu Xing has prepared three Western-style suits. We'll find a professional photographer, and our family will take wedding photos on the 9th."
Zhang Hongmei would certainly fulfill the old woman's wish.
“Hongmei, your clothes aren’t as nice as your granddaughters-in-law’s,” Zhang Xingguo said with a smile.
"Grandpa, I'm a grandmother now, so I don't need to dress up anymore."
Zou Haiyin smiled and took Zhang Hongmei's arm, saying, "If Mom dresses up, the four of us will be outshone."
Gu Chuanming laughed heartily after hearing this. "Yes, your mother-in-law is too beautiful and young. She really shouldn't dress up too much."
The eight of them went to change their clothes. Zhang Hongmei sat with the old man on the sofa.
"Grandpa, are you still going back to Liujiatun?"
Gu Chuanming nodded, "Of course, of course I'm going back."
“I’ve sent people over to make preparations. We’ll arrive around noon, meet everyone, and then have to come back in the afternoon. But we’ll be hosting a three-day feast in Liujiatun.”
"Is three days too short or too long?"
"That's enough. Someone over there will take care of it."
"Are Er Lengzi and Shi Tou also coming back on the 8th?" Zhang Xingguo asked.
"Yes, they'll arrive on the 8th. They definitely won't be late."
Gu Chuanming meant that it would be best if all the familiar people were present, so that he could express his joy.
Zhang Shouyi returned at lunchtime, along with Xiao Wu and the other two.
"Hehe, I thought my three youngest sons wouldn't be back until the day before their brothers' weddings."
Xiao Wu cried after hearing his mother's words. "Mom, it's so unfair of you to say that. How can I have the right to decide when to come back?"
Zhang Hongmei smiled and hugged her three sons, who were as tall as her, patting them on the back. "Mom knows, Mom was just too surprised. I was just joking with you."
The whole family gathered for lunch, and Zhang Hongmei specially asked the hotel's foreign chef to make a birthday cake and send it over.
The girls all love to eat it, while the rest of the people each have a small piece.
The old folks didn't like the taste, and Zhenye and the others were indifferent to it as well. Xiao Wu and the other two also had the chance to eat it regularly, but they didn't particularly like it either.
After dinner, Zhang Shouyi went back to work, while Xiao Wu and the other two tried on their formal attire.
It fits perfectly. Little Liu looked in the mirror and said, "Mom, I've never worn a traditional Chinese long gown before, and it feels pretty good."
Zhang Hongmei smiled and nodded, "My son is handsome, he looks good in anything."
