"A car is coming!"
"What kind of car is it? It sure looks nice."
Because a sedan had arrived in the village, everyone was craning their necks to see.
As the car stopped at the Xu Family’s door, soone had already gone to greet Xu Qinghe and the others, informing them that soone had driven there.
Ji Ying thought to herself that her eldest brother and his family were in Ningbei, her second brother worked in a textile factory in the city, and her third brother worked in a food factory in the county. They probably didn’t own a car, did they?
The only concern they had was the Yue Family. They vividly recalled the last ti the Yue family drove into the village.
Xu Qinghe and Ji Ying exchanged glances, secretly hoping that they weren’t there to cause trouble.
"Xu Nian’an." As Ling Dong got out of the car, he sensed the curious faces around him. Ling Dong felt a bit awkward, feeling like a monkey in a zoo being observed.
The person he knew best was Xu Nian’an, so as soon as he got out of the car, he called out Xu Nian’an’s na.
"Ling Dong?"
At the sound of the car, Xu Nian’an hurried out to see what was happening. He assud it was the Yue Family, but when he saw Ling Dong, he imdiately ca forward and greeted him, "Are you here for my brother’s wedding banquet as well?"
Xu Nian’an thought that aside from this, there was no other reason for his visit. It was just that he had arrived a bit early, not even seven o’clock yet.
"If I hadn’t just run into soone from your village who ntioned it, I wouldn’t have known that your elder brother was getting married today. We are shalessly here to partake in the wedding banquet," Ling Dong said while accompanying Pei Yicheng, who couldn’t move his legs, so Ling Dong had beco his errand runner.
Grinning, Ling Dong said, "I knew about your brother’s wedding today. Yicheng ntioned it. The bride’s ho is quite a distance away, so I brought the car over early. You never know, it might co in handy."
The news of Xu Nianji’s marriage was sothing Ling Dong had found out about.
Yesterday, Xu Nian’an and his siblings hadn’t co to sell mung bean jelly. Worried that sothing had happened like last ti, he had made so inquiries, and not until then did he find out that Xu Nianji was getting married today.
Ling Dong thought that they were acquaintances, and additionally, Yicheng was particularly fond of that girl who sold mung bean jelly, so Ling Dong inford Pei Yicheng and Doctor Du about the news.
Doctor Du, who was busy, ntioned giving a gift and then urged Pei Yicheng to co to the banquet today.
"It’s difficult with my legs," said Pei Yicheng.
Lately, Pei Yicheng would often recall Ji Ying’s confident and sparkling eyes, and subconsciously, he didn’t want to see her.
"Don’t you have a car? You wouldn’t have to walk," Doctor Du glanced at him and said, "Ling Dong ntioned that the bride is from Zhou Family Village, right? Zhou Family Village is quite far from Shuangzhu Village. If you were to walk, it would take two hours one way. That would take up the entire morning."
"Xu Nianji is a man, so of course, it’s okay for him, but Ji Ying is a girl, and she’s filial too. If she were to walk such a long distance..."
Before Doctor Du could finish, Pei Yicheng cleared his throat and said, "Ling Dong, tomorrow morning you drive there."
"I’m also going to the wedding. Aren’t you coming too?" Doctor Du looked at Pei Yicheng and said, "Last ti you mockingly said that girl looked as thin as a sprout, yet she’s big-hearted and hasn’t held a grudge. Plus, you paid her only a hundred dollars for translating that contract so well. That was rather stingy of you."
Pei Yicheng: "..."
The price he paid for the contract translation was higher than usual. How could that be considered stingy?
Doctor Du said, "I don’t care, we’re both going to the wedding tomorrow."
"You’re already twenty-three, Xu Nianji is about your age, and he’s getting married. If you don’t step up your ga, Ji Ying might be swept off her feet by soone else!" Doctor Du dearly wished he could chase after Ji Ying for Pei Yicheng.
