“Eldest Aunt’s needlework is the best in a hundred miles, we can’t find a second one in the whole of Apricot village.” This is Su Hong’s sincere admiration!
“It’s so festive, Su Mian, put it on quickly, it’s over, it’s over, I think my brother will be infatuated with you!” Wei Min was so indulged looking at Su Mian, completely unaware of the flash of jealousy displayed on Su Hong’s face.
Su Mian was embarrassed but still put it on, “How is it?” Su Mian turned in a circle.
The red padded jacket was shining in the light, and the phoenix tailored was vivid, as if it was really going to fly out. Su Mian was already fair; adding on this red cotton jacket, her skin looked even better, like a peach blossom.
Su Mian stood there upright, with a pair of big clear eyes and gentle smile; it was hard for people to remove their sight from her.
“Su Mian, you are so beautiful, even I’m going to be infatuated with you. When my brother sees you tomorrow, his soul will definitely be gone!” Wei Min looked at Su Mian with a fascinated look.
Su Mian was indeed a beautiful woman. Even if she just stood there doing nothing and saying nothing, she looked just like she walked out of a painting, everyone would find it hard not to keep on looking at her.
Su Hong felt so envious and irritated aside, but forced herself to keep smiling, “Xiao Mian, you look so beautiful in it!”
No matter how much Su Hong hated, she had to admit that Su Mian could indeed catch everyone’s eyes wearing that padded jacket.
The three chatted for a bit, and when Wei Min looked out the window, it was so dark she couldn’t see her hand if she stretched it out, “Su Mian, I have to go back. Sister-in-law, see you tomorrow!” Wei Min ran out after speaking.
Su Mian blushed as Wei Min spoke, “Well, Wei Min, see if I don’t hit you.” Su Mian put the padded jacket on the brick bed and chased after her.
As for Su Hong who stayed in the house, she had prepared for it, she was just afraid that she would not take the bait.
He Qin was cooking sticky rice dumplings in the kitchen. All the relatives in the family had arrived today, and He Qin had cooked a big pot.
Seeing Su Mian chasing after Wei Min outside, she hurriedly shouted, “Wei Min, eat a few rice dumplings before leaving, it will be ready soon.”
“It’s alright, Aunt, it’s too late, I have to go back.”
Today was the fifteenth of the first lunar month. Every family in the northeast rural area ate sticky rice dumplings in the evening, which indicated family reunion.
Su Mian chased her all the way to the gate, only then did Wei Min stop, “Okay, I admit I’m at fault, is that alright? I wanted to talk privately with you, but Su Hong came.”
“You can speak now, it will be the same!” It was impossible for Su Mian not to be nervous since she would be engaged to Wei Zhen Hui tomorrow. She would want to chat for a little bit more with Wei Min in case she overthought later.
“Su Mian, how do you feel now? Aren’t you both scared and looking forward to seeing my brother?” Wei Min’s eyes were gleaming. She was eighteen-year-old, just at the age which was full of curiosity about marriage.
“Why would I be scared? He won’t eat me.” Su Mian was full of expectation yet she sounded the opposite under the dim moonlight. She could finally see Wei Zhen Hui tomorrow.
According to tradition, Wei Zhen Hui would carry her from her bed in her house to the car, and from the car to his bed in old Wei’s house tomorrow.
It meant that Su Mian’s feet couldn’t touch the ground.
“Cheh, Su Mian, you are getting more and more dishonest. Won’t tell me the truth? Be careful that I tell my brother that you don’t miss him at all!” Wei Min giggled as she finished. “How sad will my brother be, knowing the girl that he always has in his mind, that he is going to marry, doesn’t miss him at all!”
“Alright!” Su Mian compromised with Wei Min, “I am a little nervous and excited!”
Seeing her embarrassed look, Wei Min’s curiosity was soothed on the spot.
The two chatted outside for a while, and finally Su Jin Long sent Wei Min back.
When Su Mian returned to the house, she saw Su Hong coming out of the house in panic.
