Chapter 257 Adding makeup
"A girl can be a doctor? That's incredible!"
The relative was even more surprised, and looked at the meat in Li's hand, "She is very filial. She even bought meat for the family when she came back. Sister-in-law, you are so lucky that your granddaughter is so filial.
Your family is really willing to give up and send your granddaughter to be an apprentice. No wonder such a good granddaughter was born in your family. You deserve to enjoy the happiness."
Being praised like this, Li smiled and said modestly: "She is just a child and doesn't deserve praise..."
Song Ying curled his lips secretly and said, "Then I'll go in first."
"Go ahead." Aunt Meihua smiled, "Talk to Cuiwa. After today, you will have less time to meet. The feast will start soon. Auntie will call you."
Song Ying tied the bundle again and was about to go inside. Someone noticed something square under the bundle, like a box, and asked, "What is this square thing?"
"Bracelets and earrings." After saying this, Song Ying quickly left.
If I don't leave now, I'll be asked to take out my bracelets and earrings for a look. I'm sick of hearing those compliments.
Entering the bedroom where Zhao Xiaocui was, there were big red "囍" characters pasted on the door and window frames. Luo Yanxing and others were in the room. Zhao Xiaocui was wearing a red wedding dress and sitting on the bed with a handkerchief in her hand. Sitting next to her were Erni and Tian Fang. The three of them had red eyes.
Not far away, Xiaoxiang and Luo Yanxing were standing together, whispering something.
"Aren't you guys going to help cry at the wedding? Didn't you see that Sister Erni and the others have eyes like rabbits!" She joked with a smile.
Hearing the voice, Luo Yanxing turned around abruptly and stood up happily, "You are finally back! Where are the things we bought? Show them to Sister Xiao Cui."
Song Ying smiled and handed the bundle over: "I knew Sister Xiao Cui would want to see it, so I brought it in first."
Zhao Xiaocui dropped the handkerchief and said with red eyes: "You still understand me."
The moment she opened the bundle and looked at the snow coat, her tears suddenly welled up in her eyes.
Everyone was a little stunned.
Erni hurriedly comforted him: "Why are you crying? You've been crying all day. No one is here now, so take a rest."
Song Ying jokingly asked, "Sister Xiao Cui, are you crying for me?"
In Xinghua Village, girls have the custom of crying at their weddings. Whenever relatives come, the bride will cry to express her reluctance to leave her relatives.
And it’s not just crying, there are also special crying songs.
Some families have many relatives and are worried about crying their eyes out, so they would ask their good sisters to help them cry. Apparently, the ones the Zhao family asked to help them cry this time were Erni and Tian Fang.
Zhao Xiaocui burst into laughter and held her hand again, "I really should hold your hand and cry for a while. If you hadn't taught us to read and recognize herbs, the Xu family wouldn't have liked me."
"We have known each other since childhood. It's too formal for you to say these things." Song Ying quickly stopped her and took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears. "If your eyes are swollen from crying, you will not be the most beautiful bride anymore."
Zhao Xiaocui looked outside and saw that no one came in, so she pursed her lips and said, "To be honest, I've been crying all day, but the tears I just cried were the real ones."
She stroked the white hair on the snow coat, her mouth full of bitterness, "My wedding dress is not as beautiful as this snow coat."
The girls didn't know how to comfort her because it was true. Her wedding dress was made of ordinary cloth and had no pattern.
The snow coat is made of brocaded satin on the outside and silk on the inside, with all kinds of fine and beautiful embroidery. The two are completely different.
Zhao Xiaocui wiped her tears and said, "I discussed with my mother before that we should use ordinary cloth for the lining of the wedding dress and sew a layer of silk on the outside, which is cheap and beautiful.
But my mother would never agree. Aunt Liu is so stingy, yet she is willing to buy silk for her daughter-in-law to make a wedding dress. I am her own mother, and I have only gotten married once, and this year I have brought a lot of income to the family."
As she spoke, her tears rolled down again, especially last month, when Luo Yanxing bought her a snow coat to celebrate her birthday, which made her even sadder.
Such a beautiful snow coat is a thousand times or ten thousand times better than her wedding dress.
At that moment, she really regretted why she didn't have Luo Yanxing's courage. If she had insisted on doing so, she could have kept more money and bought things for her marriage, and she wouldn't have to beg others for help.
Song Ying patted her shoulder gently to comfort her, but her throat felt sore. It's really hard for girls.
She took a long time to calm down the soreness in her throat. She looked inside the room and saw that they were all her former partners who had picked herbs together. He took out a small purse and stuffed it into her hand, lowering his voice and saying, "Hide the money you have deposited in the past few months. Don't let anyone know."
Zhao Xiaocui's eyes became red again. Fortunately, Song Ying asked Lin Wenxuan to help intercept a part of it.
She was about to speak when Song Yuan's voice rang out from outside, "Sister! Sister!"
Before the shouting ended, Song Yuan had already run in, "You're finally back, I missed you so much!"
The eager eyes and the warm hug made Song Ying feel a little guilty. When she was away, she rarely missed Song Yuan.
She cleared her throat and asked, "Where were you just now? I didn't see you when I came in."
Song Yuan raised his head and said happily: "Uncle Zhao has rented the bridal sedan back. I'm going to see it."
After saying that, she turned to Zhao Xiaocui and said, "Sister Xiaocui, after you ride in the bridal sedan tomorrow, can you tell me what it feels like? I haven't ridden in one yet.
I wanted to sit down, but Uncle Zhao and his men wouldn’t lift me, and we kids couldn’t lift it either.”
Luo Yanxing sighed and joked, "I'm afraid you won't be able to experience this in your lifetime. If you were a girl, you would still have a chance."
Song Yuan pursed his lips and became even more unhappy.
"Study hard, pass the exam, and become an official. You can ride in a sedan chair every day." Song Ying consoled him, then realized something was wrong, "Did you sit in the sedan chair?"
Song Yuan nodded and pursed his lips: "There is a stool inside. If you don't lift it up, you won't feel anything."
Song Ying almost wanted to cover his face. Fortunately, Uncle Zhao had a good temper. If it were someone with a bad temper, he would probably hit him.
The bride hadn't even gotten into the sedan yet, but this group of little kids got in first.
"That sedan is rented. Don't play in it. If you break it, you'll have to pay for it."
Song Yuan nodded, but it was unclear whether he really heard it or just passed it by.
However, Song Ying did not continue to persuade him. After all, it was Song Yuan who broke it, and it was Uncle Song who had to pay for the compensation. It had nothing to do with her, and she had already reminded him.
She took out three red lacquer square boxes, one large and two small, from her bag and handed them to Zhao Xiaocui: "These are bracelets and earrings. Try them on and see if you like them."
Zhao Xiaocui didn't wear a bracelet on her wrist, but she did wear a pair of earrings on her ears, which looked a bit old judging by their condition.
Zhao Xiaocui tried hard to blink back her tears and said, "You are so thoughtful."
