The dowry was moved upstairs one by one, from large items to small ones, all with great honor.
Granny Tang’s worries slowly faded amidst everyone’s envy.
The bridal procession’s car had not arrived yet, but downstairs, two tables had already been set up, waiting for the bride’s relatives to co, and the kitchen had already started boiling noodles, ready to serve as soon as the bride’s car arrived.
The place for the wedding ceremony was already prepared.
At Tang Yue’s suggestion, Zhang Hualian and others were decorating the bridal room upstairs, with red "xi" characters stuck on the walls and red silk ribbons tied into bows, and they bought many colorful balloons to adorn the room, which looked exceptionally beautiful.
The bedding set made by Tang Yue received unanimous praise from everyone.
The bedding was laid by two aunts from the Tang Family, both of whom had both children and healthy parents—truly blessed people.
It was said that the bed laid by such blessed people would bestow their blessings.
As the dowry was being moved upstairs, the aunts in the bridal room guessed what the Provincial City bride, who caught Tang Mingli’s eye, might look like.
"Could she be ugly? Otherwise, why would she marry into our small place?"
"How could that be? With Tang Mingli’s pickiness, would he marry soone ugly?" another aunt retorted.
Previously, it was rumored that Tang Mingli’s standards for a partner were very high.
Upstairs, everyone was guessing, while the people downstairs were looking out in anticipation.
The ten-thousand-strong firecrackers were laid out at the entrance of the courtyard, just waiting for the bride’s car to arrive before setting them off.
The coach bus slowly drove over, adorned with red silk and a big red "xi" character.
"The bride is here."
Soone shouted, and the crowd imdiately surged.
The Tang Family had a good reputation in Qianjin Village. Although Wang Aihua was not good at socializing, Tang Zhengde was praised by everyone in the village, and Tang Mingli, now managing the garnt factory, was soone everyone was eager to impress.
Tang Mingli, wearing a bright red Tang suit with a red flower on his chest signifying "groom" and his hair impeccably grood and shiny, had a sunny and handso face filled with smiles. The saying "a happy occasion brings high spirits" was truly fitting for Tang Mingli, who radiated joy inside and out.
Amidst the sound of firecrackers, Tang Mingli carried Wei Jiajia, dressed in a pure white wedding gown, into the house. Her face was covered by the veil, but one could vaguely see that not only was Wei Jiajia not ugly, she was actually quite beautiful.
After the wedding ceremony and entering the bridal chamber, a series of events unfolded downstairs as they began to receive the bride’s relatives, while upstairs in the bridal room, the children and won were all eager to get a glimpse of the bride.
Wei Jiajia blushed, allowing Tang Yue to distribute the prepared wedding sweets.
The children who received wedding candies were excited.
When the won saw Wei Jiajia’s appearance, they all sighed at Tang Mingli’s incredible luck.
Tang Yue stayed by Wei Jiajia’s side, fearing she might feel uncomfortable in this new place.
Granny Tang was completely relieved; previously, Tang Zhengde and Tang Yue had said the girl was good, but Granny Tang was worried, what if they were just coaxing her?
However, during the ceremony, Granny Tang clearly saw Wei Jiajia’s appearance, and the smile on her face never stopped.
Wang Aihua also followed to the bridal room, and just as she was about to speak, she was pulled away by Third Aunt Tang.
Third Aunt Tang had received orders from Granny Tang to keep an eye on Wang Aihua, lest she say sothing inappropriate.
The evening banquet was held in a restaurant not far from where they lived.
Before dinner started, Tang Yue saw Mo Xiaolin. Holding Tang Yue’s hand, Mo Xiaolin said affectionately, "Xiao Yue, don’t leave right after dinner. I have sothing to talk to you about."
Mo Xiaolin’s seriousness mingled with a hint of joy in her eyes.
Tang Yue’s heart skipped a beat and asked, "Aunt Mo, what’s going on? Is there sothing important?"
"You’ll find out soon," Mo Xiaolin smiled, her expression mysterious, keeping Tang Yue guessing.
"Xiao Yue," Tang Mingli called for her.
Tang Yue responded and after exchanging a few words with Mo Xiaolin, she left.
Mo Xiaolin’s mysterious deanor had Tang Yue full of curiosity. Could it be that Mo Siyu had replied to her letter?
No, if he had replied, Aunt Mo could have just given it to her directly.
Or, could it be that he was back?
The thought flashed through Tang Yue’s mind, and she was montarily stunned.
Thinking that she might soon see Mo Siyu, she felt an inexplicable nervousness in her heart.
Tang Mingli, half carrying Wei Jiajia’s wedding dress, reminded her, "Xiao Yue, make sure to keep an eye on Jiajia’s wedding dress."
"Uncle, I got it," Tang Yue responded, assuring him, "I promise Sister Jiajia, oh no, little aunt, won’t step on her dress."
"Xiao Yue, it’s okay, you can call whatever you want," Wei Jiajia said with flushed cheeks. Tang Mingli’s caring and attentive behavior made her day special and joyful.
"Little aunt, you really can’t be called that casually. Otherwise, Uncle will get jealous," teased Tang Yue.
The firecrackers marking the start of the banquet went off, and Tang Yue followed, keeping an eye on Wei Jiajia’s wedding dress. The praises and envy from everyone made Tang Mingli both happy and excited.
Finally, when the banquet was over, Tang Yue helped Wei Jiajia see off the guests. Tang Mingli, with a keen eye, noticed that Aunt Mo was waiting nearby and quietly asked, "Xiao Yue, does Aunt Mo have sothing to talk to you about?"
"It seems so." Tang Yue’s heart pounded, ’thump, thump, thump.’ She had been too busy to notice before, but now that she might actually et him, she discovered that her heartbeat was thunderous.
"Could it be that Si Yu is back?" Tang Mingli mused.
Tang Yue: ...
Tang Mingli was drunk, but he still worried that Tang Yue might be taken advantage of by soone, reminding her, "Xiao Yue, you are still underage, be careful around n."
"Uncle, what are you thinking?" Tang Yue glared at him and hurriedly pushed him towards Wei Jiajia, "Little aunt, Uncle is drunk. You two go ahead. I have sothing to do and will be back later."
Tang Yue went to say goodbye to Zhang Hualian and then left.
Zhang Hualian thought Tang Yue had other matters to attend to and didn’t think much of it.
"Xiao Yue, co with ," Mo Xiaolin said as she led Tang Yue towards their house.
It was only when Tang Yue got closer that she realized this place seed to be the woods behind their house.
"Xiao Yue, Si Yu just got back. He didn’t have ti to join the banquet but wanted to see you. There’s not much ti; he’s about to leave and has only half an hour. Xiao Yue, you won’t be upset with auntie, right?" Mo Xiaolin rushed out a bunch of words. After bringing Tang Yue to the spot, she left.
