Fan Hua looked at Zhao Yilu next to him. Although he looked about 70% like Officer He Siyan, he was a little taller, his eyes were brighter, and his temperament was a bit tougher. She couldn't help but sigh that these two brothers had really good genes!
…
The three of them drove to the Xie family's house according to the address Xie Yongliang had given them. There were already quite a few bicycles and cars parked in the alley outside the Xie family's house. A large "囍" character was also pasted on the wall at the door.
Xie Yuchuan, who was in charge of welcoming the guests, had known Fan Hua and Zhao Yilu for a long time. When he saw them coming, he led Fan Hua directly into the room where Geng Ailing was resting, and led Zhao Yilu and He Siyan to the men's seats.
After Fan Hua entered the room, she saw Geng Ailing already dressed and trying to style her hair in front of the mirror, and she immediately went forward to help with a smile.
Geng Ailing breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Fan Hua coming over. "Lihua, you're finally here! If you hadn't come, I would have done it myself! Yongliang wanted to find me a makeup artist, but I refused, saying I'd just ask you to do a simple job. But since you haven't shown up yet, I decided to try it myself."
While helping her comb her hair, Fan Hua said, "Blame me, blame me, I'm late! But even if I didn't help you, you wouldn't look ugly if you did it yourself. My sister Ailing looks good no matter how she does it!"
"You're the only one who teases me!" Geng Ailing replied with a smile.
As the two were chatting, Geng Ailing's mother Wang Chunhua and sister Geng Aimei came in.
Wang Chunhua was stunned for a moment when she saw Fan Hua, then she spoke uncertainly, "You are Fan Lihua, the daughter of Fan Daqiang from the west end of Fanjia Village, right?"
Fan Huagen didn't know Wang Chunhua, but he guessed that the person who could come here that day must be related to Fanjia Village, except for Geng Ailing's blood relatives.
So he smiled and nodded, then changed the subject: "Auntie, when did you come?"
"We arrived yesterday. Wow, you really are Lihua. I felt I was right just now. You were beautiful before, and you look even more beautiful this time!"
Fan Hua smiled and said nothing more, continuing to do Geng Ailing's hair. She really didn't want to care about the people in Fanjia Village. She hadn't figured out how to face the family of the master yet, and she didn't want Wang Chunhua to go back to the village and gossip about her.
Soon, a simple, elegant and beautiful bun was done for Geng Ailing. At the end, Fan Hua specially inserted a small red fan that she had prepared in advance. The fan was about the size of a palm, very delicate and beautiful, making Geng Ailing look festive and bright.
By the time Geng Ailing's makeup was done, it was almost time for the wedding banquet.
In that era, it was not popular to eat in restaurants. Whenever someone had an event, they would just set up a buffet. So that day, the Xie family placed more than a dozen large round tables in the courtyard of the quadrangle and invited several cooks to help in the kitchen.
Several large round tables were now filled with eight cold and eight hot dishes. Male and female guests were seated at separate tables. The whole banquet seemed festive and lively.
With the crackling sound of firecrackers, the wedding banquet officially began.
Xie Yongliang also came into the room to pick up Geng Ailing and toasted with him at each table. Fan Hua was also led to a table by the person who greeted the guests.
The person who came to greet the guests wanted to arrange Fan Hua to sit at the table with Geng Ailing's family. But when Fan Hua left the house, she saw a girl wearing a khaki wool coat. She had a bright and beautiful face and a gentle and generous temperament. This person was Xie Yuting, whom Fan Hua had seen in her dream before.
Fan Hua decisively refused to sit at the table at Geng Ailing's parents' home, and walked straight to the empty seat next to Xie Yuting.
Fan Hua softly asked Xie Yuting, who was sitting in her seat, "Comrade, is this seat taken?"
