The Lantern Festival came quickly.

Early in the morning, Zhang Huifang began to get ready. Because it was not a grand wedding, she did not wear a wedding dress. Instead, she chose a snow-white off shoulder fishtail dress. She had voluptuous curly hair. Her earrings and bracelets were pearls, and she had put on light, delicate makeup. She looked elegant and dignified.

Zhang Man leans against the door to watch her.

After she was dressed up, Zhang Huifang called several friends and Xu Shang’s relatives and friends one by one to ask them if it was convenient for them to drive to the hotel. If it was inconvenient, she arranged for someone to pick them up.

After making those arrangements, she called the hotel again and explained everyone’s food restrictions again. Because Xu Shang’s mother had diabetes, she specially ordered that extremely sweet dishes should not be prepared.

Zhang Huifang had a soft tone. With regards to N City’s dialect, she was not as stiff as other people. Every couple of sentences were accompanied by an appropriate joke. Zhang Man could almost hear everyone’s delight on the other side of the phone.

There were a lot of things she could do slowly and have it done well.

Zhang Huifang had the unique charm of a mature woman, as well as a sense of responsibility and duty.

At this time in her previous life, she was in love with Zheng Zhi, but she did not feel this way now.

When she was with Zheng Zhi, she looked like a little girl in sweet love. But after she was with Uncle Xu, she was much calmer, and really had the temperament of a mother at home.

She was no longer that mom who didn’t know what to do in life.

No matter what age a person was, it probably correlated with their love.

The love in your youth gave you infinite heartbeats and sweetness, just like Li Wei was to her. Every time she saw him, her heart would start beating wildly.

During the middle phase, love was more like support and being there for each other. It was just like Uncle Xu and Zhang Huifang, who taught her to live her life, and have a sense of responsibility and duty.

Before Zhang Huifang went out, she carefully took out a box from the drawer. She opened it, and put the ring on her ring finger.

Zhang Man leaned over to see it. She was shocked and asked, “It’s that big?”

Zhang Huifang smiled proudly and shook her finger. “Well, your Uncle Xu said that if we can’t have a grand wedding, then he must honor me. Look, there is also this necklace that the old lady wore when she married. Now it’s passed on to me, your mom.”

She asked Zhang Man to put it on her.

This was a precious ruby necklace, inlay with small diamonds. It was very heavy and gorgeous.

Zhang Man was speechless. How can this be a family heirloom?

When the mother and daughter were ready, Xu Shang drove to pick them up and go to the hotel.

Zhang Man was worried about being an embarrassment, so he asked Li Wei not to come too early. He should arrive right on the dot and then leave after dinner.

There were only three or four tables in the private room. Zhang Huifang’s side had a decent amount of people. She tried really hard to get a table full of people, and it was presentable.

Many relatives and friends came early. They sat in the private room and gossiped. Zhang Huifang came in with a lot of energy. After a few beautiful words, she poured tea for everyone, which made everyone relaxed and comfortable.

She saw that it was still early, and then asked a few people to play cards and talk. Like this, both sides of the wedding party could become familiar with each other.

Zhang Man was her only daughter, so she also became the focus of everyone’s attention. She was led by Zhang Huifang and addressed them as uncle, aunt, auntie…

Many people gathered around her and asked her how old she was, where she went to school, what her grades were, and whether she had thought about love…

Although it was a bit of a headache to do, it felt really wonderful.

Xu Shang’s family was very simple. In addition to him, there were two sisters in his family.

When the old lady was young, she was a rich lady who came back from overseas. She opened a small reputable flower shop in N City. Every day, she drank tea and sold flowers. She lived a good life.

According to Zhang Huifang, his father seemed to have been a professor of European history at N University, and died of illness a few years ago.

Zhang Man first called the old lady “grandma” sweetly. The old lady heard her and smiled from ear to ear. She pulled her aside to praise her for how cute and clever she was.

She called Xu Shang’s two sisters “aunt”.

One sister was fat, one was thin. The fat one looked very similar to the old lady. She looked very generous. She often told a few jokes to lighten the atmosphere. It was the slim one who had a daughter around Zhang Man’s age. They were both sitting on the side playing with cell phones and did not talk very much.

Zhang Huifang said that the Xu family didn’t have a lot of members. Xu Shang’s older sister, the fatter aunt, had a divorce a long time ago. She had a son who was ruled in favor of living with her ex-husband; The younger aunt only had one daughter.

So most of the people who came today were cousins and aunts and uncles who are a generation apart. Their children were not much older than her, and they chatted a lot.

Zhang Man was being teased by some of the relatives and didn’t know how to answer. Chen Feier came in just in time. She winked at her, and immediately joined the group of women to chat with a lot of enthusiasm.

She was the best at talking. Soon, relatives and friends wanted to talk to Feier everywhere. Even Zhang Man, the daughter of the bride, had no time to talk to her. Zhang Man let out her breath and was just relieved.

It was time for dinner just as things were getting livelier.

Xu Shang looked at his watch, went to pat Zhang Huifang’s hair, and asked, “Xiao Fang, is your friend almost here? Why don’t you let the chef serve the food?”

Zhang Huifang was watching someone play cards when she said without thinking, “Man Man’s boyfriend hasn’t come yet.”

Her voice was loud. A lot of people sitting beside her heard her. There was silence in the private room.

The second aunt, who was playing with her cell phone, curled her mouth and pulled her daughter’s sleeve.

Her daughter went to the best high school in the neighboring city. She was obedient and hardworking. She never played with the rebellious classmates, and her grades were very good.

“Tsk tsk. Man Man is probably a few months younger than you and she’s already fallen in love. Don’t learn from her. The right way is to study hard. Do you hear me?”

The little girl had been lectured by her mother every day, so she was used to it and nodded obediently.

Just then, the box to the private room was pushed open. A boy in black came in wearing a baseball cap. He walked up to Zhang Huifang and smiled apologetically at her.

“Auntie, I’m sorry I’m late.”

There was silence in the box.

This handsome boy… was too handsome. He was so handsome that no one could look away. Especially some of the young girls, who were unable to restrain their excitement. They glanced at Zhang Huifang from time to time.

Wow, he’s so cool when he’s not smiling. He’s so good looking when he’s smiling. It’s like there are stars in his eyes.

Who is he?

This is not the boyfriend of Zhang Man, is it?

As the youth spoke, he took two gifts out from the gift bag he was holding. He gave them to Zhang Huifang and Xu Shang and wished them a happy wedding.

There was silence again in the private room, and then there was a sound of air conditioning.

Two Cartier watches… It should add up to more than 100,000 yuan.

The second aunt stopped playing with her cell phone. She turned her face and looked at her daughter kindly.

“Oh, Nannan, if studying is too hard, you can find a puppy love to make it easier. It’s not a big deal.”
