Tao Zhiyun's best friends, except Ke Ziqing who followed Chen Feng to Hong Kong and couldn't come because she was due to give birth, all came the day before the wedding.
Several families of the Fang Weiguo brothers lived at home, and Lin Mai arranged for all his best friends to stay in the hotel.
Several friends haven't seen each other for a while, and it was particularly cordial to meet again.
When Lin Mai entertained some of their friends to eat roast duck, he asked when Tao Zhiyun and Liu Yongjiang were going to have their wedding.
Tao Zhiyun glanced at Qiqi, who was sitting with Doudou eating roast duck.
Seeing that he was only focusing on eating roast duck and not looking at her, she whispered: "At least next New Year's Day, I'm not mentally prepared."
Several other people joked: "Are you going to be in love for a lifetime? Are you not mentally prepared yet?"
"Doctor Liu, you have to wait." Lin Mai rolled a roast duck burrito for Zhou Caiyun and handed it to her: "Do you really plan to live alone for the rest of your life?"
Zhou Caiyun blushed and hesitated: "This... maybe not."
Lin Mai heard the clue and said with a smile: "There is something wrong."
Tao Zhiyun and Xiaoman rushed to tell Lin Mai that Zhou Caiyun also had a boyfriend.
Lin Mai asked with great interest, where is her boyfriend from? What are his family conditions like? What is his character like?
Zhou Caiyun shyly told her that her boyfriend was a small cadre of Dingxiang Flavor Food Factory named Hong Dangsheng.
One time when she went shopping for groceries, an old lady bumped into her. She was the one who bumped into her.
When the two were in a stalemate, it was Mr. Hong who stepped forward and wanted to drag the old lady to the police station so that the police could make a decision. This scared the old lady away.
Like her, Hong Dangsheng was born in an ordinary peasant family, and she thought he was a pretty good character.
Lin Mai was happy for her,
Although she does not object to women being single, life would be better if they could find a compatible partner.
Lin Mai finally asked Xiaoman when she and Li Mingcheng would get married.
Xiao Man ate the roast duck and said, "I'm still young, so I'm not in a hurry."
After eating the roast duck, Lin Mai followed the rules and moved to Bai's father's place to be married.
Dad Bai pulled her sleeves and walked to her boudoir. He said excitedly and mysteriously: "Look at the dowry Dad bought for you!"
Arriving at the door of the boudoir, Bai's father pushed the door open and saw that the room was filled with dowry.
Everything from bedding to pots and pans, as well as all kinds of household appliances are available, and they are all of the best quality.
Lin Mai stroked his forehead: "Dad, I have all of these."
"I know." Bai's father swallowed even more, "You didn't grow up with dad, so dad wants to make it up to you!"
Lin Mai felt warm in her heart and took the initiative to hug Father Bai.
Dad Bai is an old-fashioned father who follows the principle that when children are older, they avoid their mothers, and when daughters are older, they avoid their fathers.
Lin Mai hugged him, but he didn't dare to hug her back. He only dared to stretch out his palm and touch her little head.
Bai Lu ran to Lin Mai's dressing table and took out an exquisite jewelry box from the drawer: "This is also the dowry that dad bought you."
Lin Mai opened it and saw that it was a gold necklace.
Father Bai was very embarrassed and said: "I have already spent almost all the money on the dowry, so I can only buy you a gold necklace."
Lin Mai smiled movedly: "It's already very good."
Bai Lu took out another jewelry box: "This is the wedding gift that my brother and sister and I gave you together."
Lin Mai opened it and saw a pair of gold earrings.
People in this era really like gold jewelry.
Lin Mai said thank you and accepted the gift.
Bai Xia looked over and asked, "Xue Bao, do you like this gift we gave you?"
Lin Mai smiled and said: "If you like it, why don't you like it? That's gold jewelry!"
Only then did Bai Xia smile happily.
When buying the pair of gold earrings, the three siblings took a long time to choose them, fearing that Xuebao wouldn't like them.
Lin Mai looked at the dowry in the house, feeling moved and a little guilty.
Bai's father and several brothers and sisters treated her sincerely, but she had reservations.
Since Father Bai and the others are willing to treat her sincerely, she will treat them as relatives in the future.
That night, the eldest sister Bai Yan and her brother and sister Bai Xia prepared everything for Lin Mai to wear tomorrow.
Father Bai was watching from the side, so happy that he couldn't even close his mouth.
There are a lot of clothes to wear tomorrow.
Xiuhe is worn when getting married, and the dress is worn when toasting.
One set of Xiuhe and nine sets of formal attires, all carefully prepared by Tao Zhiyun for Lin Mai
Xiuhe is in a set, which means being single-minded.
There are nine sets of dresses, which symbolize longevity.
Adding up to ten sets, the meaning is perfect.
Fang Zhuoran also personally delivered the gold jewelry he bought from Hong Kong and the pure gold phoenix crown.
In order to be a beautiful bride tomorrow, Lin Mai drank a bowl of soothing traditional Chinese medicine prepared by her eldest sister Bai Yan herself and went to bed early.
She was sleeping soundly when she was woken up by Tao Zhiyun, who came before dawn to dress her up.
Lin Mai asked drowsily: "What time is it?"
"It's already five o'clock in the morning, and you're still sleeping. How could there be such a big-hearted bride like you?"
As Tao Zhiyun spoke, he dragged Lin Mai up from the bed like pulling a carrot.
Lin Mai rubbed his eyes, got out of bed, went to the bathroom to wash up and returned to the room.
Bai Lu came in with a bowl of polenta and a hard-boiled egg to fill her stomach.
When the wedding begins, as the bride, she has little chance to eat.
Although Lin Mai didn't like eating too greasy food in the morning, this breakfast was too light and he would be hungry in two hours at most.
She held up the bowl of polenta and asked, "Can it be replaced with wontons?"
Bai Lu spread her hands and said, "Dad only lets you eat this, saying it's better if it's lighter."
Lin Mai had no choice but to drink the polenta.
After breakfast, everyone helped Lin Mai dress up.
The photographer invited took pictures throughout the process, leaving this precious souvenir for Lin Mai.
Father Bai, Bai Xia, and son-in-law Yang Jin began to put up happy words and hang colorful balloons. Soon, the small courtyard became particularly festive.
The living room was filled with seven aunts and eight aunts, and it was packed with people.
There are not only relatives from the Bai family, but also many relatives from the Luo family.
Although Bai's mother and Bai's father have divorced, the relatives in the Luo family and Bai's father are still walking around.
Lin Mai invited six bridesmaids in total, all of whom were her roommates.
In other words, except Xu Qingya, she invited all the other roommates.
All the bridesmaids wore purple spring and autumn dresses.
This kind of treatment is something you won’t see at other people’s weddings.
After all, clothes are still very expensive these days.
The eldest sister Bai Yan has been beside me to arrange the care.
At about nine o'clock, Bai Lu, who was standing at the gate of the courtyard and looking around, ran in excitedly and said that the wedding team was coming and it was quite a long motorcade.
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone heard the crackling sound of firecrackers coming from the entrance of the alley in the distance, and it tended to get more intense and get closer and closer.
Bai Yan filled two baskets with a lot of candies that Fang Zhuoran and Lin Mai bought from Hong Kong, and asked the Bai Lu brothers and sisters to hand out wedding candies to everyone they met at the gate of the hospital.
Dad Bai's family had just moved to this Jinyu Alley not long ago, and the neighbors didn't know much about them.
Everyone saw that the wedding was quite grand, and all the people picking up the bride were cars. The sweets distributed by the bride’s family were bought from Hong Kong.
People couldn't help but talk about who the daughter of the Bai family was marrying, and the wedding was so grand!
When Lin Mai got married, Bai's mother and Bai Shuang were not invited, but they came early in the morning.
But I didn't dare to enter the yard, so I stood outside the yard with my neighbors and watched.
After all, it was her biological daughter who was getting married, and Mama Bai still wanted to see her get married in a glorious manner.
Bai Shuang came to see how well Lin Mai married.
Seeing that Lin Mai's marriage was better than she had imagined, and listening to the comments from the neighbors, she felt uncomfortable in every way.
Bai Shuang glanced at Bai's mother and blatantly slandered the neighbors, saying that Lin Mai married an old man who had been married for three times and had only one breath left. When he walked in, he was a ready-made stepmother. First, he was a widow, and then he was a widow.
She was not afraid that Lin Maibai's mother would be unhappy if she slandered her.
If Mama Bai is unhappy, she can pretend to be pitiful and admit her mistake, and then she can get away with it.
Mother Bai frowned slightly, but the child didn't say anything.
Those neighbors who didn't know what was going on listened to Bai Shuang's words, with looks of disdain on their faces.
It is said that this family with the surname Bai even lost their face in order to cling to rich people.
Bai Shuang was so happy that she turned around and provoked Bai's mother: "Mom, no matter what you do to Mai Zi, you are her biological mother after all.
It's too much for her to get married without inviting you, Mom, why don't you go teach her a lesson in public?"
Mother Bai was so angry that she instigated her. She clenched and unclenched her fists, and then clenched them again.
Finally, he said: "Forget it, I don't want it anymore. Anyway, today is Mai Zi's happy day. This is the only time in my life."
Bai Shuang said that Mama Bai was too kind, but she was extremely disappointed in her heart.
At the same time, I still feel a bit resentful towards Mama Bai.
He keeps saying that he loves her the most but refuses to ruin his own daughter's wedding. How hypocritical!
A row of cars soon arrived in front of the Bai family courtyard.
Fang Zhuoran, wearing a straight and slim black suit and wearing the groom's wedding flower on his chest, got out of the Mercedes-Benz.
When everyone saw that the groom was handsome and young, he was not as unworthy as Bai Shuang said. Everyone looked at her with disdain.
Someone asked Bai Shuang in public: "Didn't I say that I am looking for an old man who has been married for three years? He is obviously a young man."
Bai Shuang said sarcastically: "I remembered wrongly. The second boyfriend of the little daughter of the Bai family is an old man."
Although there was something in her words, she was secretly slandering Lin Mai.
But for a person who tells lies as soon as she opens her mouth, no one believes what she says.
Many people sneered and expressed disdain.
When Lin Mai got married, Bai's father also invited many neighbors from Xiaoyang Hutong.
These neighbors came together, and when they heard Bai Shuang's words, some of the neighbors immediately said rudely: "Hey! Isn't this Bai Shuang who colluded with his biological parents to steal the property of his adoptive parents?
Weren't you sentenced to control by the court? The control is not enough for you to change your mind. Now you want to go to jail for slandering your adoptive father's biological daughter in public?"
Bai Shuang suddenly panicked.
She didn't expect that Dad Bai and the others had moved out of Xiaoyang Hutong and would invite their former neighbors to attend Lin Mai's wedding.
What's more, he didn't expect that they would hear him just after he said bad things about Lin Mai.
She was so frightened that she quickly denied it three times: "I didn't, I'm not, don't accuse me wrongly!"
"We wronged you?" A neighbor sneered: "You were farting just now!"
Bai Shuang was so embarrassed that she stopped watching the excitement and left in a hurry with Bai's mother.
Mother Bai's face looked a little ugly.
She suddenly felt that Bai Shuang was a troublemaker.
When several of Lin Mai's roommates saw that Fang Zhuoran and others had entered the courtyard, they closed the door of Lin Mai's room tightly and asked for red envelopes through the door.
He took a lot of red envelopes but didn't open the door, and tried to trick Fang Zhuoran and his groomsmen in various ways.
Lin Mai couldn't stand it anymore and asked his roommates to stop.
But her roommates unanimously told her to stay calm.
In the end, even Fang Zhuoyue joined the battle, coaxing the bridesmaids, brothers and sisters to say a lot of nice things, but except for being defrauded of two more red envelopes, there was no progress.
In the end, Chen Feng took advantage of the bridesmaids not paying attention, climbed in through the window, and opened the door with lightning speed.
Fang Zhuoran finally entered Lin Mai's boudoir, making several of Lin Mai's roommates jump in anger.
Fang Zhuoran looked at Lin Mai, who was wearing a golden phoenix crown and a beautiful dress, and thought to himself, my wife is so beautiful.
Lin Mai looked at the tall and handsome Fang Zhuoran and thought, my husband is so handsome!
Xi Niang brought a bowl of half-cooked noodles to the newlyweds and asked them to take a bite each.
Fang Zhuoran took a bite and frowned, and Lin Mai also frowned after eating.
Xi Niang, who was serving the noodles, asked with a smile, "Raw or cooked?"
"Raw." Fang Zhuoran answered honestly.
Immediately, many people started making noises: "It's a baby, the groom said he wanted to have a baby."
Only then did Lin Mai realize that his face turned red with embarrassment. It was the same color as Xiu He.
She thought that was the end, but unexpectedly Aunt Xiniang brought another bowl of poached eggs for her and Fang Zhuoran to eat together.
Lin Mai and Fang Zhuoran each ate a poached egg.
Xiniang asked them whether the yolks in the poached eggs were single or double.
Fang Zhuoran said: "It's double."
Everyone laughed heartily, saying that the groom had said that he was going to have twins, and asked Lin Mai to cheer.
