Li Changpu had to attend Qu Datong's wedding, but he didn't go because his three children had to go to school. He took Jiang Tingxia to Qu Datong's house, and he wanted to help, so Jiang Tingxia found a place to sit down by herself.

Jiang Tingxia greeted a few familiar sisters-in-law and sat aside.

After sitting for a while, a large group of people surrounded Qu Datong and a woman and entered the yard. Both of them had big red silk flowers tied around their bodies. It seemed that the one was the bride today.

When they saw the newlyweds coming, the people sitting in the house went out to welcome them.

Liu Yuying walked beside Jiang Tingxia, holding a handful of melon seeds in her hand, and talked while eating them, "Captain Qu's new wife is quite pretty."

Someone who knew about it responded, "Of course she is. She is an actress in the art troupe, how can she not be beautiful?"

"This new bride doesn't look very old."

"She's quite young, only in her early twenties."

Someone whispered and joked, "It's better to be a man. A man in his thirties or forties can marry such a pretty girl. He's so lucky."

Everyone burst into laughter.

At this time, someone pushed Liu Yuying and said, "What man or woman, if you want to enjoy happiness, you have to be destined to do so. Look at our sister-in-law Kong, her husband is only ten years younger than her."

Liu Yuying threw two melon seeds at the woman who was talking, and scolded with a smile, "Go away, go away, why are you playing this joke on me?"

Liu Yuying didn't look angry, it was just a joke, someone pulled her arm and continued joking.

"I was ignorant when I got married, so I chose someone older than me. Later, I realized that I should find someone younger. You are so lucky, sister-in-law."

Liu Yuying pushed the man and snorted, "What kind of blessing is this? Being a nanny and serving a family, this blessing is given to you, do you want it?"

Everyone walked towards the newlyweds while talking and laughing. Jiang Tingxia looked over and saw Qu Datong standing there as dark as a mountain. When he smiled, wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes. The bride, on the other hand, was fair and tender. The age difference between them was indeed obvious.

When he got closer and took another look, Jiang Tingxia saw that the bride was not standing side by side with Qu Datong, but was standing slightly sideways, with her eyes still red and swollen, and it was obvious that she had just cried.

Why was she crying on such a happy day?

Everyone pushed the newlyweds into the house. Li Changpu saw Jiang Tingxia standing at the outermost edge of the crowd, so he did not follow Qu Datong into the house. Instead, he changed direction and walked to her side.

"Why are you standing here? Come inside."

Jiang Tingxia looked at the bride walking away. Through the crowd, he saw that she was still sobbing from time to time with the red handkerchief in her hand on her face.

She softly called out to Li Changpu, who was about to leave with the crowd, "Brother Li."

"The bride is crying."

After hearing what Jiang Tingxia said, Li Changpu looked in the direction of the newlyweds, and sure enough, he saw that the bride's shoulders were twitching.

Li Changpu was not surprised and explained: "The bride will cry when she gets married. This is called crying at a wedding. It is normal."

He stretched out his hand to Jiang Tingxia, "Come here, go into the house."

Jiang Tingxia put her hand in his, and the two walked side by side into the house. Jiang Tingxia muttered, "Her eyes are swollen from crying."

……

As soon as the two entered the room, Qu Datong waved to Li Changpu, "Little Li, sister-in-law."

Qu Datong squeezed out of the noisy crowd, walked to Jiang Tingxia and Li Changpu, and said, "Sister-in-law, I have to ask you for a favor. Go into the house and take care of the bride."

"You women are easy to talk to each other."

He looked at the closed door. The usually cheerful man looked a little embarrassed, "It's not convenient for me to go in."

Li Changpu asked, "What's wrong?"

Qu Datong replied: "I went to the girl's home to pick her up, and I cried so hard when I was separated from her mother."

He whispered to Li Changpu and Jiang Tingxia, "She came into the house as soon as she came back. She said that there were too many people outside and it gave her a headache. She looked in a bad mood anyway."

"So I wanted my sister-in-law to go in and say a few words to her."

Being called out, Jiang Tingxia couldn't refuse, but she didn't know what to do.

"I don't know my sister-in-law yet. This is the first time I meet her. I don't know what to say when I go in."

Li Changpu thought for a moment and said, "How about this? We got up very early today and have been on the road all the time. My sister-in-law must be hungry. You can send some food in without saying anything."

Qu Datong nodded, "Just go and see how she is doing in there."

Jiang Tingxia agreed, "Okay."

"Then let me go in and take a look."

Qu Datong rubbed his hands and smiled, "Thank you, sister-in-law."

"Brother Qu, you're welcome."

……

Jiang Tingxia held the tray and knocked on the door.

"Sister-in-law, can you come in?"

There was a response from inside the room, and then the door creaked open. Jiang Tingxia saw the woman still standing by the door with the big red flower tied around her body.

Li Changpu and Jiang Tingxia were standing outside the door together. He knew Chu Dan and greeted her first, "Sister-in-law."

He stood beside Jiang Tingxia and introduced her, "This is my love, Xiao Jiang."

Chu Dan nodded and forced a smile at Jiang Tingxia, "Hello."

Jiang Tingxia held the tray and followed Li Changpu, calling her sister-in-law.

"We're here to bring you something to eat."

Li Changpu continued, "You've been busy for so long and are exhausted. Sister-in-law, eat something to fill your stomach. There will be a ceremony later."

The couple outside the door sang in unison. Chu Dan nodded and leaned sideways, "Come in."

Li Changpu stood outside the door and did not go in. "I'm not going in."

He squeezed Jiang Tingxia's shoulder affectionately and said, "Tingxia, talk to my sister-in-law for a while. I'll notify you when the ceremony starts."

Jiang Tingxia smiled at him and said, "Okay, go ahead and get busy."

Li Changpu left, closing the door behind him.

Qu Datong was standing aside. Seeing Li Changpu coming over, he hurriedly asked, "How's it going? Did your sister-in-law go into the house?"

Li Changpu saw his anxious look and smiled, "Ting Xia will go in and accompany him."

Qu Datong breathed a sigh of relief, "That's fine, as long as someone is with me."

He looked helpless, "You don't know that I saw her crying all the way back. Her crying made me feel creepy."

Li Changpu laughed and said jokingly, "What a success."

Jiang Tingxia entered the room and spoke first:

"There was nothing ready to eat in the kitchen at this time, so I took two plates of snacks and a pot of tea."

She relaxed her tone and said, "I know I may not be hungry at this time, but I am really thirsty."

Chu Dan licked his dry lips and said softly, "Thank you."

She walked over to Jiang Tingxia, took the snacks from the tray and placed them on the table.

The two of them sat down around the table. Jiang Tingxia looked at Chu Dan's face. Just now in the yard, she was far away and separated by the crowd, so she didn't see it clearly.

Now everyone sat down, and Chu Dan sat opposite Jiang Tingxia. She had round facial lines, a fleshy face and a pointed chin, so her delicate and innocent appearance was somewhat seductive. There were two obvious dimples on both sides of her cheeks. She had a tall and straight figure, a firm chest, and was very toned. She looked simple and cute, yet she had the charming demeanor of a woman.

It was just a pair of eyes that were sparkling and a little red, looking very charming.

Jiang Tingxia stood up, wet a handkerchief with cold water, and handed it to her, "Wipe your eyes, or they will get swollen."

Chu Dan also knew that there would be more people outside when he went out, and everyone would be watching him.

She was already trying not to cry.

Chu Dan took the handkerchief and pressed it against his eyes.
