Chapter 712: A Male Bird in Mating Season
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After the family had breakfast and checked their appearances, they gathered their belongings and waited in the car for Gong Xin to arrive. Once she arrived, they would be ready to set off.
Gu Zi paid particular attention to Su Shen’s attire that day. He was dressed quite handsomely, and it seemed he was paying more attention to his appearance. Gu Zi gave him a hug and showed him the bracelet on her wrist, saying, “Husband, I really like this bracelet.”
Su Shen nodded, his grip on the steering wheel tightening slightly. For some reason, the longer he spent with Gu Zi, the more solemn he felt. He was afraid that his flaws would be exposed to her, and sometimes this fear made him appear shy.
Of course, Gu Zi wasn’t the only one who noticed this. The two brothers did as well.
Su Bing thought that their father always paid special attention to his appearance and behavior in front of their mother. He seemed like a male bird in mating season, eager to display his most beautiful feathers to the female bird.
This feeling was so strange that sometimes he felt embarrassed to look at his father.
Su Li, holding his little sister, watched his parents with a mischievous smile. He too had noticed the ambiguous atmosphere.
Before long, Gong Xin arrived. She got out of the taxi and headed straight for the car parked in front of the Su family’s house. She opened the car door and climbed into the back seat, saying, “I’m here, I’m here. Su Li, move your sister over a bit, I barely have any room.”
Su Li looked at Gong Xin, who was carrying a large number of gifts, and felt that Gong Xin had really gone all out just to get a taste of the braised meat.
Although these gifts weren’t as expensive as the ones given to his mother, they were all high-quality items. He moved his sister over to make room.
With everyone now present, Su Shen started the car and they set off. After leaving the residential area, they sped towards the outskirts of the city. By late morning, they had arrived in the town, where the bride and groom were greeting guests at the entrance to the wedding banquet.
The groom, Lin Hun, was dressed in a typical suit of the era. His usual ruffian aura was completely concealed, replaced by a simple and handsome demeanor.
The bride, Gui Hua, wore a bright red wide-shouldered dress with a matching red bell skirt. A large red flower adorned her head, and her makeup was bright and dignified.
Lin Hun and Gui Hua had chosen the town square garden as their wedding venue. Although it was called a garden, it was essentially a large open space surrounded by a few large trees.
Although calling this place a garden might not be entirely accurate, it was often chosen as a venue for banquets and events due to its spaciousness. On regular days, people would sunbathe and relax there.
As for the wedding banquet, it was catered by a one-stop service team. These culinary experts from the rural areas were the first choice for hosting various banquets. They provided professional chefs, complete banquet supplies, and some service personnel.
The one-stop service would select various dishes and wines based on the host’s order information. On the day of the banquet, they would distribute the banquet on time, relieving the host of many complicated tasks. All the host had to do was conduct the ceremony and receive the guests.
When Gu Zi and the others arrived, they first gave their gift money. Then Gu Zi went over and put the gold bracelet she had brought on Gui Hua.
Gui Hua’s wrists were already adorned with seven or eight gold bracelets, which was quite impressive.
As for Gong Xin, she wasn’t a close friend or relative, so she had no reason to give gold jewelry. However, the tonics she gave were quite impressive.

When Lin Hun and Gui Hua greeted Gu Zi and her group, their faces lit up with joy. After all, among the group were Lin Hun’s boss and idol, Su Shen, Gui Hua’s good friend Gu Zi, and the city girl Gong Xin. Their presence added a lot of prestige to the wedding.
As for Su Shen, as soon as he entered, he was invited to a table by the workers from the pig farm. One of them said to Gu Zi, “Sister-in-law, we want to have a good drink with Brother Shen today. You have to let him sit with us!”
Gu Zi, who was preparing to choose another table with her three children, turned around and said, “Since you’ve said so much, how can I not let Su Shen go? But you have to be careful, don’t let my husband drink you under the table. He’s quite formidable.”
As she spoke, she locked eyes with Su Shen. Her heart seemed to leap into her throat, and she felt a ticklish sensation. She quickly looked away.
Another man at Su Shen’s table chimed in, his words a bit cruder, “Sister-in-law, you speak so elegantly. In our village, women call their husbands by their names. It’s rare to hear them called ‘husband’. Anyway, you just enjoy your meal and drink. Your husband is our boss, we’ll take good care of him!”
