Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
They were set to buy flower girl dresses today. Gu Zi thought that on the wedding day, the three children should also be dressed up nicely. It was a perfect opportunity to purchase their outfits as well.
Su Shen drove steadily and swiftly. When they arrived at the bridal shop in the city, Uncle Li had just arrived at the store.
He went to pick up Jiang Nuan, and as soon as Gu Zi saw the girl, she recognized her immediately. She said to Su Bing, “Isn’t she your classmate?”
She remembered the girl had spoken to Su Bing the last time they were at school.
Jiang Nuan smiled at Su Bing, her smile particularly bright. However, she greeted the adults first before approaching Su Bing. It was evident that she was considerate, but the innocence on her face was genuine.
Gu Zi was very satisfied with this girl and immediately told Uncle Li to let her try on the clothes.
Jiang Nuan said to Su Bing, “Your parents are preparing for the wedding very grandly.”
Su Bing responded, “Yeah.”
After all, their dad had never been so devoted to anyone before. Although Su Bing didn’t understand why his dad was making it so extravagant this time, contrary to his usual style, especially when mom suggested keeping it simple.
It wasn’t until later, when Su Bing racked his brains to plan a century wedding for the woman he loved, that he understood the significance of a wedding.
The morning went by very quickly.
Uncle Li even took some time to train Shi Tou while Jiang Nuan guided him like a little brother.
Just like Gu Zi, her parents were friends with Uncle Li. When she was very young, Uncle Li had chosen her to be a flower girl model in the shop. Previously, she had even attended a wedding as a flower girl. She was more than qualified now.
The family, along with Shi Tou and Uncle Li, had lunch in the city before returning. Due to an afternoon dance class, Jiang Nuan was picked up early by her mother.
Gu Zi, after dropping Shi Tou off at home, took a nap and woke up just as her maternal family arrived.
She went to the kitchen to prepare double-skinned milk and snacks to treat her family. She had already regarded the original owner’s parents as her own and was determined to get along well with them. She was always happy to befriend sincere and kind-hearted people.
Su Shen went upstairs to get the wedding photos to show to the Lin family. It wasn’t the first time Su Li hadn’t seen them, but he still sat down and picked up a photo, complimenting how handsome Dad looked and how beautiful Mom was, dragging Su Bing into the conversation.
Su Bing didn’t say anything and quietly listened to his younger brother.
Gu Zi’s parents were also very satisfied with the wedding photos. Lin Cheng, feeling guilty about Li Hua, made up his mind to work hard at the pig farm. He decided he would give Li Hua a set of wedding photos.
However, Li Hua didn’t mind. Other people’s lives were other people’s lives. She married Lin Cheng, and she was content with the life he could provide.
After viewing the photos, they started discussing a topic that weighed heavily on the Su family. According to custom, Gu Zi had to stay at the Lin family’s house for two days before officially marrying into the Su family on the wedding day.
Su Shen was reluctant to part, but for the sake of his woman’s reputation, he insisted on following this tradition.
Su Bing and Su Li also didn’t want their mom to go back by herself. Although they knew it was just a brief separation, and she would return in two days after getting married, they were still reluctant.
Seeing the two boys feeling down, Gu Zi went over to comfort them, “While Mom’s not at home, you must take care of the house. Su Bing has learned to cook many dishes now; you have to take care of your little brother, okay?”
Su Bing nodded, and Su Li couldn’t suppress his emotions and started crying. If only he were as big as Lele, he could go to the Lin family with Mom!
Seeing the children cry so heartbreakingly, the Lin family felt a bit sorry. In fact, it wouldn’t have been a problem for Gu Zi to go back the day before the wedding.
But the son-in-law insisted, and they had no choice. He genuinely cared for Gu Zi and didn’t want her to be criticized by others.
After Gu Zi left with Lele, Su Li did not eat much for dinner. Su Shen smoked a few cigarettes in the courtyard.
Su Bing asked his father, since he didn’t want her mother to return to the Lin family, why did he insist on following the customs?
Su Shen didn’t know whether he should discuss such matters with his child. After thinking for a moment, he said, “Do you remember our previous conversation? I’m protecting her in my own way.”
Even in their situation, there was no reason for the new bride to stay at the Su family’s house for the first few nights before the wedding.contemporary romance
If she didn’t go back, it would give others an opportunity to gossip. It was just two days and nights; he would rather endure the separation than give others the chance to talk.
Su Bing was very smart and roughly understood what his father meant. This was the communication between men, simple and efficient.
He went to comfort Su Li, who was still sniffling, “You said you wanted to be a man who protects Mom and your sister.. If Mom briefly leaves, isn’t it beneficial for her? Are you still going to cry?”
