Chapter 144 Sister's Wedding 2
A week passed quickly, and Ma Youcai invited all the other brothers back to help. On the first day of the wedding, both my uncle and my aunt came, and brought my little cousin with them, saying that they wanted my cousin to be the bride's escort boy.
Liu Baoer also came, and with her came her mother, who is Yi Ke's biological aunt in this body.
Liu Baoer's mother is Zhong Tongxin. She has fair skin, delicate features, and a pair of almond-shaped eyes that still look watery even though she is old. He wore a camel-colored Dacron top, gray trousers, and a pair of black leather shoes. His eyes were gentle and his voice was soft.
When Zhong Tongxin saw Yike, she excitedly stepped forward and held Yike, then lowered her voice as if afraid of scaring her and said, "Yike, we meet again. I am your aunt, your dear aunt, and your mother is my younger sister. Back then..."
"Mom," Liu Baoer interrupted her mother and said, "Mom, let's go in first and talk. This front door is so bad."
"Aunt Zhong, uncle and aunt, you must have had a hard time on the ride. Come in and have some water and rest. Sister Baoer, cousin, I'm so happy you're here." Yike took Zhong Tongxin and aunt's hand and walked into the room. Ziyi and Tang Jianguo helped carry the gifts brought by uncle and Zhong Tongxin.
In the main hall, Sister Han Guihua had already prepared sweet soup for everyone. Seeing that everyone had drunk the sweet soup, Zhong Tongxin wanted to mention Yi Ke's biological mother again. Yi Ke hurriedly spoke first: "Aunt Zhong, no matter whether my biological mother is your younger sister or not, I still recognize you as my aunt, because Sister Baoer is my godsister. Let's take care of my sister's wedding first, and talk about other things later, okay?"
"Okay, you're right, I'm your aunt no matter what, I'm just too excited." Zhong Tongxin knew that she was anxious.
"Uncle, aunt, thank you for coming despite being so busy. My parents didn't attend my sister's wedding, so I thought of troubling you. We are very grateful that you can come. Thank you!" Yi Ke said sincerely.
"Silly child, what are you talking about? You call us uncle and aunt, and we are your elders and parents. How can a child's wedding be without parents? We didn't take good care of you in the past, and we are sorry for your grandfather's instructions. Seeing that you two sisters support each other and marry good men, we come here to feel relieved." The uncle said with relief.
The eldest aunt took her sister Han Guihua's hand and said earnestly: "Guihua, although your father and your mother are not good people, you are still a good child. Don't embarrass yourself because of the evil things your mother and others have done. They are all evil things they have done. You should do as your eldest uncle just said. In the future, you two sisters should support each other, listen to men, and have children for men as soon as possible."
"Aunt." Han Guihua called out shyly.
"Haha, you're still shy. We're getting married tomorrow, and we'll have to talk about this sooner or later. Well, let's talk about some things in your room later."
"Sister Yike, your courtyard is so beautiful! Is it yours?" Liu Baoer asked Yike in a low voice.
Yi Ke also replied in a low voice: "It's Ziyi's, it's not bad."
Liu Baoer gently pinched Xia Ke's slender waist and said with a smile, "Show off."
They both smiled knowingly.
"Auntie Zhong, did you take a leave to come here? How many days did you take off? Ziyi and I will arrange time to take you around and see if there is anything you like and buy it." Yike asked Zhong Tongxin.
"I'm on vacation for three days. Mainly, I want to come and tell you the good news. You are busy, so don't worry about us." Zhong Tongxin replied without hesitation.
"Yike, the piece of floral cloth we brought is to decorate the osmanthus flowers. That piece of floral cloth was given to us by you last time. We are just borrowing the flowers to offer to Buddha." The aunt said embarrassedly.
Yi Ke hurriedly replied: "Aunt, we are all very grateful that you came, why would we need you to add to the makeup?"
"Yes, auntie, keep it for Xiaohong to make clothes. I can't have it." Han Guihua also said
"This is for you, just keep it. This is the gift from us as your elders, you can’t refuse it." Uncle said solemnly.
"Thank you, uncle and aunt." Han Guihua's eyes were red.
Zhong Tongxin took out her backpack and took out a set of clothes from it. The top was light pink, the pants were black, and there was a pair of red socks and a pair of gray cloth shoes.
Zhong Tongxin held the gift in both hands and handed it to Han Guihua, saying, "Sister Guihua, this is my little sister. Yike's mother asked me to prepare it. She said thank you for taking care of Yike all the time, and that Yike still feels a little warm in your home. She is very grateful to you, and this is a little gift from her. Please accept it!"
Han Guihua stood up in a hurry, "How can this be possible? My family feels so ashamed of our sister, how can we have the face to ask for something from her mother?"
Zhong Tongxin said calmly: "Your family is your family, and you are you. This is a gift for you, and has nothing to do with your family. Just accept it with peace of mind."
"Sister, just accept it." After being treated like this by his biological mother, his favorability towards her increased rapidly. It seems that he can still recognize this biological mother.
Zhong Tongqi, who was far away in the capital, never thought that giving gifts could win the heart of his daughter whom he had never met. If he had known it would have such an effect, he would have doubled the number of gifts.
Han Guihua accepted the gift with such emotion, but she couldn't help feeling sad when she thought that her own mother was even worse than a stranger.
"Mom, you gave a gift to my aunt, what about ours? Why don't you take it out quickly?" Liu Baoer urged her mother.
"Hey, why are you in such a hurry? I have to do it one by one." Zhong Tongxin took out a red scarf from her backpack and said, "Guihua sister, this is a gift from our family, you should accept it. Although it is not popular to wear a red scarf at weddings now, you can tie it on your braids or around your neck to show joy."
"Thank you, Aunt Zhong!" Han Guihua took the scarf happily. This was exactly what she needed, and the sadness in her heart disappeared.
"Yike, this one was given to you by your mother, and this one is given to you by me." Zhong Tongxin took out two more sets of clothes, both of which were very popular styles at the moment.
"Thank you Aunt Zhong, please help me thank her too." Yi Ke was not shy and accepted the gift generously.
"Ziyi, the noodles are cooked. You can serve the guests now." Tang Jianguo shouted at the kitchen door.
"I heard it." Ziyi answered and then said to the people in the main hall: "Uncle, aunt, Aunt Zhong, let's go eat some noodles first. Dinner is not here yet."
"Okay, let's go eat first." Uncle stood up first and walked out.
There were several large bowls of noodles on the kitchen table, with two poached eggs underneath each bowl. In that era, eggs were as precious as meat, and so were noodles. Using these two things to entertain guests is already a very high standard, which shows how much the host values the guests.
"Yike, just have a bowl of noodles. Why use so many eggs? What a waste." There was real reluctance in my aunt's eyes. In the village, such luxury is only available during the Chinese New Year.
