There were less than two months left before Zhou Yang and Shi Yun's wedding, and the family began to pack up the house and prepare things for the wedding.

Everyone has a clear division of labor, Shen Guodong is responsible for purchasing, Zhou Wanwan is responsible for making clothes for the whole family and bedding, curtains and other supplies for the new house, Zhou Chen is responsible for furniture and decoration, and Zhou Yang is ready to be the groom and then communicate with the bride.

Dunzi also made a leave report in advance, and promised that he would contract all the manual work when he returned.

Several people are neat personalities, and the money and things available in their hands are sufficient, so they don't need the help of outsiders at all, and they prepare Zhou Yang's wedding properly.

Aunt Zhao and Aunt Li, who wanted to come to help, could only come over to drink sugar water and eat melon seeds.

Even so, Zhou Wanwan also prepared snacks, melons, fruits and teas, and told Aunt Zhao to bring a few people over to sit if she was fine, this was the first happy event in their family, and it was good to be lively.

Mrs. Li also brought several daughters-in-law and granddaughters from her family to make a few trips, including Zhao Xiaoxue.

Li Guohua and Zhao Xiaoxue got married last winter, and Li Guohua also changed from a temporary worker to a regular state worker, but he was transferred from a department store selling stationery to a small restaurant to work as a kitchen chore.

Mrs. Li has a lot of complaints about this, and always feels that her youngest son has changed from a job with cultural people to a circle around the pot. Sweeping the floor, washing the dishes and cutting the mound every day, what kind of thing does a big man do?!

Li Guohua has been working as a hotel handyman for more than half a year, and he began to regret it, he was dirty and tired every day, and he was too far from sitting in a department store selling books and pens.

But Zhao Xiaoxue's father's ability is limited, and that's all he can arrange for him. That's why Zhao Xiaoxue deigned to go to the countryside, just to take advantage of Zhou Yang's marriage opportunity to have a good relationship with the Zhou family brothers and sisters, so that Shen Guodong could change Li Guohua's job. It's best to sit in an office.

When they got married last winter, they were held in Suilin County, and most of Zhao Xiaoxue's relatives were in the county, so of course it was impossible to go to the countryside to attend the wedding. As for the relatives on the Li family's side, they can go if they can, and no one cares if they can't go or if they don't have one more or one less old farmer.

Therefore, only Zhou Yang went to a wedding banquet as a representative of Zhou Yang's brothers and sisters, and the Li family's eldest uncle and second uncle's family were similar, but the family sent two representatives.

I can't arrange it if I go too much. didn't prepare so many seats, Zhao Xiaoxue has already hinted many times.

So this time, seeing Zhao Xiaoxue coming, Zhou Chen and Zhou Wanwan discussed. After she came for the second time, she explained to Mrs. Li that Zhao Xiaoxue had bad legs, so she wouldn't bother her to help.

Zhou Yang's marriage is a happy event, touching the things of marriage. A married woman is unlucky if she is not a blessed person. Zhao Xiaoxue has physical defects, and they taboo these.

And the people in Li Xiuhua's family are not welcome, and they will not be invited on the wedding day. Zhou Chen felt that these words still had to be explained to his grandmother's family in advance, and his eldest brother's wedding must not be blocked by these people.

Gu Tao still didn't marry that "tendon" in the end, and beat the child in her belly and locked herself in the house from coming out.

In case Li Xiuhua brought Gu Tao to Zhou Yang's wedding, or said a few bitter and disgusting words, killing them afterwards would not be able to restore their regrets.

Zhou Yang's once-in-a-lifetime wedding, they must be perfect.

Mrs. Li went back and cried with Old Man Li several times about this. In the end, Old Man Li handed over the matter of coming to Zhou's house to help his eldest aunt and second aunt, and did not let Mrs. Li interfere.

She stirred it up again. Relatives are gone.

At the beginning of July, Zhou Yang's new house was renovated, the furniture was arranged, and several sets of new clothes were tried, waiting for the wedding to be held a month later.

Shen Guodong's procurement work has also been basically completed, but there are still some questions to be answered every night.

"Why do you have to buy another sewing machine?"

There is one at home in Xiangyangtun and one at home in Suilin, both of which are used to make clothes for Zhou Wanwan.

Zhou Yang repeatedly emphasized that Shi Yun instructed him not to buy any more, just use the old one at home, but Zhou Wanwan still added the sewing machine.

Of course, Shen Guodong didn't care about a sewing machine, he was afraid that Zhou Wanwan would not say that he had been wronged. Since Zhou Yang's wedding date was set, he looked at Zhou Wanwan like a tiger guarding his cubs.

It's not that he doesn't trust Zhou Yang and Shi Yun, he cares too much about Zhou Wanwan.

After a man gets married, of course, he has to put his wife and children first, and this is understandable. But when he thought that the eldest brother that their little girl liked and relied on the most would not put her on the tip of his heart in the future, Shen Guodong was wronged for Zhou Wanwan.

"Brother Shen loves you, he will definitely hurt you even more, and he will hurt Yangzi's share together." Shen Guodong repeatedly emphasized with Zhou Wanwan.

"My eldest brother doesn't hurt me less, what are you talking nonsense!" Zhou Wanwan smiled, this is not the first time someone has told him this.

As early as when Zhou Yang was engaged, Dunzi wrote her a long letter, although it was not as straightforward as Shen Guodong, but he also expressed this meaning clearly.

If she really was a sixteen-year-old girl, she might be disappointed for her brother's marriage. But she is not, no one in this world is more eager to see Zhou Yang get married and have children than her, that was the only goal she has worked hard for decades.

Now the dream is about to come true, and I sleep every night with a smile.

Zhou Yang finally lived a happy life as a normal person, he was about to have a beloved wife, healthy children in the future, and a happy family, these are more important than anything else in Zhou Wanwan's heart.

So she asked Shen Guodong to buy a new sewing machine and come back, the newlywed is to use new things, even if Shi Yun is willing to use the old one at home, she can't let others say that the sewing machine that Shi Yun got married is the old one used by the sister-in-law.

She couldn't let her sister-in-law suffer such grievances, even if Shi Yun didn't care, she had to do her best to protect her sister-in-law, like her eldest brother.

They will be one family from now on, one flesh.

Zhou Wanwan didn't let Shen Guodong go to the foreign trade store to buy her that beautiful white gauze skirt, and if she didn't wear it on the wedding day, she would definitely not be able to wear it, let alone Shen Guodong. Even Zhou Yang would not agree.

But if you wear it, you will steal the limelight with the bride. All the limelight that day was Zhou Yang and Shi Yun's, she didn't have to be too beautiful, just bring the most sincere and enthusiastic blessings.

Zhou Chen and Zhou Wanwan carefully checked and sorted out the things at home. The process is full of several sheets, and every detail must be perfect.

Zhou Yang and Shen Guodong were on standby, as long as the two of them were in need, they would immediately run errands, and almost all the weekends before the wedding were like this.

In July, the promotion exam is about to begin, and this year is the examination for secondary school to junior college, although it is only an on-campus selection. But it's also very important.

The family was almost ready, so Zhou Chen didn't let her interfere anymore and told her to concentrate on the exam. After the exam, Zhou Yang's wedding is almost here.

Zhou Wanwan obediently went back to school to study, and on the first day of return, he was called out to eat by Guo Kejian.

Since hearing that she was in distress last year, Guo Kejian rode hundreds of miles of bicycles in the rainstorm to rescue her, and they have gotten along more than before.

But the meetings are not very frequent either. Basically, Guo Kejian will come to her for a chat or a meal in about a month.

He couldn't come back if he wanted to. Now he is still on secondment at Haizhou Mine, and he can go back to the State Administration of Mines once or twice a month, and sometimes he will catch up with the weekend night holiday.

Zhou Wanwan no longer rejects Guo Kejian's kindness, she is not a person who does not know gratitude, she has experienced so much indifference and seen so much cruelty, and she cherishes her sincere care and warmth even more.

Guo Kejian is smart and interesting, very measured and thoughtful in his speech and action, and he is very comfortable to get along with. Seriously. He is almost the best friend that Zhou Wanwan can talk about after Qiu Ya.

Zhou Wanwan opened the bag handed over by Guo Kejian and took out a rag doll. Very long puzzled, "Is this a gift I didn't have time to give when I was six years old?" Suddenly remembered today? ”

"Sixteen-year-olds can also hold rag dolls, and it is said that children like rag dolls because they are insecure." Guo Kejian carefully scalded the dishes and chopsticks and handed them over to Zhou Wanwan.

"My eldest brother is married, so I'm a poor abandoned child?" Zhou Wanwan felt very strange, why did so many people feel that she needed comfort and security now?

"It's not pitiful, it's always a little bit lost, right?" Guo Kejian looked at Zhou Wanwan with a smile, "Zhou Yang is not only your eldest brother, she should be the role of your father." ”

"So you think I'm going to have a stepmother?" Zhou Wanwan has always been unscrupulous in front of Guo Kejian, and sometimes she is a little surprised when she says it, why is she not taboo at all?

She had thought about this question carefully, maybe there was no burden.

doesn't have such deep feelings, nor does he have so much kindness, he is tolerant and proper, and can always find the most appropriate words to resolve the embarrassment, as if he can always bring back the topic of her willful talk for a while.

"Look, let me say I'm angry!" Guo Kejian has a good temper, but what he says is always on par with Zhou Wanwan, which is the most interesting thing about getting along with him.

"Do you really think I can find solace in this ugly bastard?" Zhou Wanwan shook the ugly rag doll, "Suppose I really need comfort." ”

"Suppose you really need comfort, you can find it anywhere, not because of the thing or the person, but whether you are willing to accept it."

After Guo Kejian finished speaking, he went to the window to get tofu brains and cakes, leaving Zhou Wanwan to meet the ugly doll.

"It's definitely not as delicious as Grandpa Shen's 'glutinous rice dumplings', but this cake is said to be made by a Korean master, which is very authentic." When Guo Kejian came back, he only told Zhou Wanwan about food, so that she could eat with peace of mind.

"That's a six-year-old's name, and it sounds pretty smooth." Zhou Wanwan also changed the topic with him.

The smartest thing about this person is that he knows how to grasp the measure, and he is always on the point and does not put pressure on people.

"Who made you too impressed when you were six years old?" Guo Kejian smiled and sandwiched cakes for Zhou Wanwan, and when he saw her eat them, he was very happy to push the plate containing the cakes in front of her.

Zhou Wanwan's childlike heart rose, put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, stretched out his hand and shook it twice in front of Guo Kejian, shook it in the void, and then stretched out his hand, and the palm of his hand was two pieces of chocolate candy.

"Thank you for finding such a good place, go buy another one and I'll take it back to my classmates." Zhou Wanwan put the sugar in front of Guo Kejian.

Guo Kejian didn't move, "Nan, my monthly salary is forty-eight yuan and five cents, please eat this meal for two yuan, and I only invite you to eat one meal for more than a month on average." ”

Zhou Wanwan smiled embarrassedly, "Then you don't want to go......"

"Do you really want to tell me that clearly? Do you have to make it up to me every time? If you don't want me to come to you later, tell me now that I won't bother you again. If not, don't finish your meal and tell me so clearly. ”

Guo Kejian looked at Zhou Wanwan seriously, "I know what you think in your heart, you don't need to meet once to remind me once." ”

Zhou Wanwan's face turned red when Guo Kejian said it, she didn't expect Guo Kejian to say it so sharply and directly.

"In your heart, there is a clear distinction between family members and outsiders, and I never expected to make you treat me like Shen Guodong and them. But you have to have friends besides your family, don't you? Am I not qualified to be your friend? ”

Zhou Wanwan looked at the inexplicable persistent light in Guo Kejian's eyes, and was speechless for a while.

"There are only a few of them in your world, outsiders can't get in, have you ever thought that they will leave one by one and run their own families like Zhou Yang, what should you do? In the future, you will imprison yourself and keep your distance from everyone? ”

Guo Kejian is always calmer and sober than others, so he sees problems much more thoroughly than others, "This will definitely make you repulsed, but I still have to tell you."

Zhou Yang: They can't think of this problem, they must feel that getting married is not leaving you, and they will be able to take care of you as before. But they didn't think that even if they didn't change, you would slowly retreat and give up that most important position to their wives and children.

The human heart is very small, and whoever comes first will squeeze others behind. This is a fact that you don't want to admit and have to face.

You refuse to let anyone come near you, how are you going to live your life?

Friends are certainly not as close as loved ones, especially since they are in your heart, and no friend can catch up. But sometimes, there are things you are willing to say to your friends.

It's not that there is a gap between relatives, but because they care too much, they have a burden, and they don't dare to say a lot of things. ”

Guo Kejian laughed self-deprecatingly, "Just like you treat me, I can listen to you a few words of truth, it's not that I have a special position in your heart, but that you don't care about me so much." But it's this lighter relationship that you need the most right now. ”

"Guo Kejian, are you really here to comfort me? Why do you feel like a special failure and pathetic after you say it? ”

"It's a bit of a failure, but with me as a friend, you won't be pitied." Guo Kejian smiled very confidently, "With me, how can I make you pitiful?" ”

"You stuffed a mess of herbs into this ugly doll, didn't you just think I might cry in the middle of the night and not be able to sleep?" Zhou Wanwan poked the ugly doll, "I can't sleep at night, aren't you pitiful?" ”

Guo Kejian sighed, "Nannan, is it really that difficult?" Since I told you this today, I won't let you run away, don't go around in circles with me, don't deceive yourself, try to change, it's not as difficult as you think. ”

Zhou Wanwan's eyes were like a bottomless pool in the dark, and Guo Kejian couldn't understand what was hidden inside.

Finally, she smiled softly, "Brother Guo, your monthly salary is quite high, will you invite our dormitory classmates to eat cakes today?" (To be continued......)
