Chapter 103 Getting married.

◎Hate iron but cannot make steel◎

In fact, Jiang Che didn't want Wei Xuan to go. Why would Wei Xuan want to go? She valued her child more than anyone else. She just felt uneasy if she didn't go to see him. Now that she knew they could stay stable, she felt completely relieved.

It was three days before the opening that Wei Xuan, with Jiang Che's permission, stepped into the doors of the three new stores for the first time.

There was nothing much to say about the grain store, but the clothing store was the focus of attention. Wei Xuan stayed in each store for a few days to get a clear idea of ​​the sales situation in the store. She also made adjustments to the clothes in the store before returning to her previous working status.

At this time, she had been nearly three months pregnant, but her belly had not yet bulged. In addition, she wore a lot of clothes in winter, so no one noticed anything unusual about her.

That day, she was counting the inventory in the store when Mrs. Wei came over.

"Third sister-in-law? Why are you in the store?" Wei Xuan was no wonder surprised. Third sister-in-law Wei came to the store to see her except for helping on the opening day last time. This was the first time in such a long time that she came to the store to see her. Usually, she would go to her house to talk about things.

The expression on Wei Sansao's face was a little strange. Wei Xuan suddenly thought too much and asked anxiously, "Did something happen to my parents?"

Seeing her sister-in-law so excited, Wei Sansao quickly explained: "No, no, my younger brother is getting married, and my mother asked me to tell you that the date is set on the 25th, so that you and your brother-in-law can remember to go back."

...

...

"Ah? Getting married?" So soon? Wei Xuan's thoughts were scattered all of a sudden. She thought that what happened in the letter that my brother wrote to her last time happened. How could they get married so soon? Did my brother come to his senses, or did she misunderstand? Maybe my brother wasn't talking about Liu Qiao? But who else could it be if not Liu Qiao?

Wei Xuan couldn't figure it out for a moment so she didn't force herself. She said to Wei Sansao, "Okay, I understand. Then, do you want to go back with us, Sansao?"

Although Third Sister-in-law Wei did not like Liu Qiao, her future sister-in-law, but as the daughter-in-law of the Wei family, it was not appropriate for her to go back with her married sister-in-law on the wedding day at this critical juncture.

She didn't want someone to use this as an excuse to stab her in the back.

So, she rejected Wei Xuan's proposal: "I won't go with you. I have asked for three days off and have to go back early to help."

That's right, she didn't think it through. This time Wei Xuan didn't say anything, but changed the topic and discussed with Wei Sansao what kind of gift would be best for the new daughter-in-law when she got married.

Mrs. Wei said, "I plan to give you a thermos." This is a very practical gift.

Wei Xuan decided to learn from her third sister-in-law and focus on practical aspects. As a teacher, Wei Xiaolong's salary was not high, and the young couple would need many things to form a new family, so she prepared them for them, saving them from spending money to buy them themselves.

When she got home that night, Wei Xuan told Jiang Che about this. Jiang Che didn't think it was a big deal. This is how it is these days. If they have met each other's parents, how far can they be from getting married?

Seeing that Wei Xuan was still struggling with what gift to give, he offered an idea: "Why don't you make them a new quilt, which they can use right now."

"Yeah, why didn't I think of that?" Wei Xuan's eyes lit up. This was a good idea, but cotton was not easy to get. She frowned and said, "I'll go to the purchasing station tomorrow to see if there is any cotton for sale. If not, I'll think of other ways."

Jiang Che sighed, "Why bother with that? I'll go ask Cheng Shao tomorrow. I'm sure he has a solution."

Wei Xuan tilted her head and thought for a moment: "That's fine."

After the discussion, Jiang Che reached out and gently touched Wei Xuan's belly: "It seems to be a little bigger."

Wei Xuan also felt that it was a little bigger, and she wondered if it was an illusion.

Looking at her belly for a while, she murmured, "This time my younger brother is going back for his wedding, and we won't be going back after the New Year."

In winter, with ice and snow everywhere, the roads are not easy to travel on whether driving or taking a bus. It is even more inconvenient for their family of three, including a child and a pregnant woman.

Jiang Che would definitely not say no. He wished his wife would stay at home all the time, but it was Chinese New Year after all, and he had to explain to his father-in-law and mother-in-law if he didn't go back. So, he thought for a moment and said, "Then pack up the New Year gifts for your parents in advance, write a letter, and send it back with the truck when the time comes."

"Well, there's no rush. It's still early."

The most urgent task was to prepare the quilt for Wei Xiaolong first. At the urging of his wife, Jiang Che went to find Cheng Shao the next morning. Cheng Shao really had a solution. He delivered ten kilograms of cotton to Wei Xuan in the store that afternoon.

Wei Xuan is not good at making quilts, but she has already made an agreement with Zhang Daya to give her labor fees and let Zhang Daya take the money home to help her make the quilt.

Zhang Daya has four younger sisters, and each of them is used to doing needlework. This little work is nothing at all. Besides, Wei Xuan is very generous, so she happily took on the task and went home with the cotton and cloth given by Wei Xuan.

The gifts were ready, and in order to get to the Wei family earlier on the morning of the 25th, the family of three got up before dawn.

Considering the poor road conditions in winter and fearing that something might happen on the road in the dark, the three of them ate breakfast leisurely and did not go out until half past six when it was just light. It was half an hour later when the car drove out of the city, and it was already bright.

Even so, Jiang Che still drove very slowly. The journey that usually took an hour and a half took the family three hours, and they finally arrived at the Wei family at nearly ten o'clock. Fortunately, the banquet had not started yet and the villagers had not arrived yet. Those in the yard were all relatives and friends who got along well with the Wei family.

When Wei Xuan's family came back, they were of course greeted warmly by everyone. Jiang Che was pulled away by a group of men to talk, while Wei Xuan and Yuanyuan were pulled into Wei's mother's room.

"Are you cold on the way here? Stay on the kang and keep warm for a while before going out." Anyway, there were people busy ahead, and her daughter would be alone.

Wei Xuan was just too lazy to go out and deal with those unfamiliar people, so she took off her shoes and got on the kang obediently. After she sat down, she remembered to ask, "Has my brother and his friends not come back yet?"

"It's almost there. I think we'll be home in half an hour."

Wei's mother must have been the busiest person when her son got married. She said a few words to Wei Xuan in the room and was called out. After she left, Yuanyuan was soon abducted by Wei's brothers and sisters.

Wei Xuan was the only one left in the room. It was not known whether it was because she got up too early in the morning or because the quilt was too warm, but Wei Xuan's eyes narrowed as she sat there. Finally, she was awakened by a series of firecrackers.

She rubbed her eyes and just as she stood up to go out for a look, Jiang Che opened the door and came in.

"Mom told me you were here and asked me to call you out for dinner. Did you fall asleep just now?"

"Hmm," Wei Xuan shook her neck left and right. Maybe she had a stiff neck because she had just fallen asleep in a bad position. She put on her shoes and said, "The bride is back, let's go out quickly."

"Don't worry," Jiang Che grabbed her and stopped her from walking out. He bent down to help her zip up her clothes before opening the door and taking her out.

Everyone was now crowding into the new house to watch the fun. Jiang Che found a spot for Wei Xuan to sit down and said, "We won't go and crowd in. Wait until they leave before you go."

Wei Xuan nodded: "Have you seen Yuanyuan?" The child started to play like crazy as soon as he arrived at Wei's house.

"She's probably in the kitchen. Don't worry, Mingming is with you."

Wei Xuan was just asking casually. The Wei family has many children and they would definitely not let her daughter be bullied here.

About ten minutes later, the people who were making trouble in the bridal chamber dispersed, the food began to be served, and everyone returned to their seats and prepared to eat.

When everyone saw Wei Xuan, they all asked her about the truck they had parked at the door. Jiang Che and his friends were not familiar with her, so it was difficult to ask, but Wei Xuan had grown up under their care, so they were less hesitant when they spoke.

Wei Xuan did not hide the fact that she bought the car, but just said modestly: "It's a second-hand car, not worth much."

"You can't say that. Even if it's worthless, it still has four wheels."

"Yes, the Wei family is really on the rise now. The daughter married well, and the three sons are probably making a lot of money from harvesting grain now. Look at today's dish, it's very hard. Not to mention Xiaolong, who was admitted to university and now eats the government's food. He also married a girl from the county town, so he doesn't have to worry about the future. Look around the village, which family can still live like this?"

Wei Xuan could only pretend not to hear everyone's jealousy and smiled. After sitting for more than ten minutes, before the meal started, she whispered to Jiang Che, stood up and said to the guests at the same table, "Everyone, enjoy your meal," and went to the bridal chamber.

Wei Xuan didn't want to squeeze with so many people here. Plus, she had eaten a lot in the car on the way back, so she wasn't hungry yet.

She walked to the door of the new house and Wei Xiaolong came out. They happened to meet each other as they came in and out.

"elder sister."

"Well, I'll go in and see the bride, you go and do your own thing." After saying that, Wei Xuan went into the house.

Wei Xiaolong closed the door from the outside. Liu Qiao saw Wei Xuan and stood up nervously: "Sister, you are here."

"Well, I'll keep you company." Wei Xuan said with a smile, "Don't stand, sit down quickly. Are you hungry? How about I bring you a bowl of food?"

Liu Qiao was naturally hungry. She had hardly eaten anything since morning. However, because she was still feeling nervous and excited, she had no appetite and could not eat much.

Wei Xuan understood and didn't force her: "Then let's eat later."

The two of them really had nothing to talk about. To avoid embarrassment, Wei Xuan remembered the letter Wei Xiaolong wrote to her, and started a conversation from there: "You and Xiaolong are pretty fast. I thought it would take at least until after the Chinese New Year to get things done. I didn't expect to hear good news from you so soon."

Hearing this, Liu Qiao lowered her head a little embarrassedly.

Why would she feel embarrassed? The reason is that it was her family who first proposed the marriage.

That day, after returning from the Wei family, Liu's mother asked Liu Qiao about the situation of the Wei family, such as whether they were good to Liu Qiao and whether they made things difficult for her.

'

Of course Liu Qiao told her mother everything she knew, including her elder sister Wei Xuan.

After hearing this, Liu's mother expressed disbelief. If it was true, why had she never heard Xiaolong mention it before?

Section 91

"Mom, would I lie to you about your daughter?" In order to make her mother believe that she was not lying, Liu Qiao took out the clothes and scarf that Wei Xuan had given her: "Look, these are all given to me by his sister."

Liu's mother was more knowledgeable than Liu Qiao. Once she touched something, she could estimate its approximate price. These good things were indeed not something that a rural person could afford. She believed it to the nineth degree. As for the remaining degree, she had to listen to Wei Xiaolong's personal opinion.

But Wei Xiaolong had just been hit hard, and he didn't want to see the Liu family again for the time being. Therefore, Liu Qiao approached him several times to ask him to go to the Liu family for dinner, but he refused because he was busy with work.

It was not obvious once or twice, but after so many times, Liu's mother began to suspect that he had never been so busy before? Was he really unable to spare even the time for a meal?

After Wei Xiaolong's fifth refusal, Liu's mother finally realized the seriousness of the matter. Xiaolong has always been a very polite child. Even if he is busy, he would not refuse five times in a row, so there must be something going on that she doesn't know about.

So she called her daughter over and asked, "Have you had a fight with Xiaolong recently?"

"No." Liu Qiao still felt aggrieved: "We haven't had much chance to spend time together these days." Let alone a conflict, they didn't even say a few words.

Mother Liu thought back and realized that her daughter had indeed stayed at home during this period except for work. She had hardly gone out. When did this start? That's right, it started when her daughter came back from Wei's house. The problem happened on that day.

Thinking of this, she said to Liu Qiao with a serious face: "Tell me everything that happened after you went to the Wei family, word for word."

Liu Qiao was frightened by her mother's expression. She dared not hide anything and told her mother everything she remembered.

The more Liu's mother listened, the darker her face became. How could she raise such a fool? He offended all the in-laws the first time they met. Because she was too angry, she couldn't control her tone when she spoke: "I told you not to be so wronged. At least you should pretend in front of Xiaolong, right?" She couldn't even understand this basic expression. If the two didn't look 50% alike, she would really doubt whether this was her biological child.

Liu Qiao was frightened, and after a long while she complained, "I've been very polite."

"Saying thank you doesn't mean you're polite. If you look down on someone, just keep it in your heart. Why do you have to be so stupid as to show it on your face? Now Xiaolong will definitely see through it."

Hearing this, Liu Qiao was really anxious and grabbed her mother's arm: "What should I do? Xiaolong must be angry with me for ignoring me recently. Mom, you must help me."

"Are you anxious now?" What were you doing before?

No matter how much you hate her for not being able to live up to her expectations, she is still your own daughter. How can you really watch her die of sadness?

She patted Liu Qiao's head impatiently: "Okay, stop crying, Mom will find a way for you."

"Really?" Liu Qiao burst into laughter and said, "I just knew that mom treats me the best."

"Nonsense, who told me that you are my only daughter?" What's more, she was very satisfied with Wei Xiaolong, her son-in-law. He was an honest and capable man. If she missed him, she really didn't know whether her daughter could meet someone better in the future.

Thinking about what her daughter said, that Wei Xiaolong had a rich sister, Liu's mother couldn't bear to watch her daughter let such an excellent man run away.
