A delicate and gentle educated youth came to the village, and the aloof and cold soldier king droppe

Chapter 156 You Deserve the Best of Everything

After leaving the village secretary's office, Gu Nan and Su Niannian went straight to Gu Nan's house.

Let's go over there and see what we haven't prepared yet, so we can get things ready as soon as possible.

As soon as the two of them arrived at Gu Nan's house, they were dumbfounded.

The courtyard was filled with a joyous atmosphere.

Red decorations are everywhere in the courtyard.

Moreover, many people are still busy.

Gu's mother, Gu Ningning, Aunt Zhou, Baozi and his mother are all here.

Even Song Zhaodi didn't go to work; instead, she helped cut out the "double happiness" characters at the Gu family's house.

"Should this sewing machine just be left like this? Should we put some packaging on it?" Baozi's mother asked, looking at the sewing machine with a big red flower tied to it.

"Why wrap it up? It's meant for everyone to see!" Aunt Zhou was hanging red lanterns under the eaves.

"Oh dear, why are you climbing so high? Come down quickly and let Little Song, the educated youth, help you." Gu's mother said, hurriedly calling Song Zhaodi over.

"I'm here, I'm here." Song Zhaodi put down the red paper in her hand and hurried over.

Everyone was busy, and it took a while before Su Niannian and Gu Nan were noticed at the door.

"Second Brother, Sister Niannian is back!" Gu Ningning was the first to spot the two.

Su Niannian and Gu Nan exchanged a smile before entering the courtyard together.

Gu Nan parked his bicycle.

"You two are finally back! Look how it's done!" Mother Gu said with a smile, placing the cured meat on the table as she came over to greet them.

"Sister Niannian, come inside and take a look at the wedding dress!" Gu Ningning grabbed Su Niannian's hand and led her into the house with a smile.

"Wedding attire?" Su Niannian was pulled by Gu Ningning and looked back at Gu Nan.

Gu Nan smiled deeply.

The wedding dress was bought in the county town when Gu Nan bought the three-turn-one-ring (a type of cigarette).

This is already the most beautiful style I've chosen.

I wonder if Su Niannian will like traditional Chinese wedding attire.

In this era, some people are already getting married in Western-style wedding attire, mostly in pink or light pink.

The long dress, adorned with large pink flowers, looked tacky to Gu Nan.

Gu Nan felt that she and Su Niannian's wedding should be conducted in the traditional Chinese Xiuhe style to appear more solemn.

Although at this time many villagers didn't have any wedding attire, they wore ordinary clothes, and it was considered good if they could get a red veil for their wedding.

But Gu Nan wanted to give Su Niannian the best of everything.

Although thirty yuan is a bit expensive, Gu Nan felt that Su Niannian deserved the best.

Su Niannian was pulled into the room by Gu Ningning, where a folded wedding dress was placed on the kang (a heated brick bed).

The traditional Chinese Xiuhe dress looks very beautiful.

Su Niannian touched Xiuhe's hand, her cheeks flushing slightly.

I don't know if it was because of the red Xiuhe dress, or because I was shy and blushed.

Su Niannian pulled open the wedding dress. Although it wasn't as magnificent as those of later generations, it was embroidered with golden phoenixes, so it looked quite nice.

Su Niannian knew that in 1976, this was the best Gu Nan could find for himself.

Su Niannian smiled deeply.

"How is it? Not bad, right? My mom just brought this out today, and when I saw it, I thought it was so beautiful!" Gu Ningning thought the dress was absolutely gorgeous, just like the one worn by fairies in storybooks.

Sister Niannian is beautiful; she will look absolutely gorgeous in this outfit.

Gu Ningning couldn't help but wonder how beautiful her older sister would look in this outfit.

"Did Auntie prepare this?" Su Niannian asked Gu Ningning, touching Xiuhe.

"No, Mother said it was my second brother who bought it a few days ago," Gu Ningning replied with a smile.

Su Niannian laughed too; her man's taste was truly always on point.

No wonder Gu Nan could bring back a lot of aesthetically pleasing items and make a lot of money when he traveled back and forth to Hong Kong in his previous life.

"Isn't it beautiful? I was stunned when I saw it." Song Zhaodi entered the room at this moment.

"Yes, it's very beautiful," Su Niannian said with a smile.

"I've never seen anyone wear clothes like this to their wedding. It's already a blessing to be able to buy a new outfit for your wedding. Gu Nan really cares about you." Song Zhaodi said enviously.

I think Su Niannian has married a husband who treats her seriously.

Song Zhaodi was happy for Su Niannian.

"I was away for the past two days, and I'm so grateful for your help." Su Niannian was very thankful to Song Zhaodi.

After all, Su Niannian hadn't expected that Song Zhaodi would remember to come and help with the wedding preparations while she was away.

It is evident that Song Zhaodi was also a meticulous person.

"What can we do? You're not in the village, so I'll have to fill in," Song Zhaodi said with a smile.

"Everything is almost ready. We'll start preparing the food tomorrow at noon. Aunt Gu said she'll start preparing the banquet tomorrow night."

In rural areas, people prepare both a continuous feast and a main feast before getting married.

However, living conditions deteriorated later on, and it was considered good if they could prepare a few tables of formal banquet for their wedding.

I really didn't expect that Gu's mother would actually prepare a continuous feast.

This shows that they truly value themselves.

"Sister Niannian, do you want to try on this wedding dress now?" Gu Ningning asked Su Niannian with anticipation.

Su Niannian touched the wedding dress. The size should be fine for her, so there was no need to try it on.

I can just wear it to the wedding the day after tomorrow.

"No need," Su Niannian said with a smile, folding the unfolded wedding dress back up.

"Have you found the wedding dress yet? There are still things to look at here!" Baozi shouted into the house.

Baozi was originally going in, but Widow Wu stopped him.

“Since Sister Niannian is a girl, boys can’t go in to change clothes,” Widow Wu said to Baozi.

Baozi nodded seriously, indicating that she understood.

After waiting a while, I stood outside the door and called out to ask them what was going on.

"Okay," Su Niannian replied and came out.

Song Zhaodi and Gu Ningning also came out.

After all, the next place we're going to see is Gu Nan's room.

Gu Nan's room had been renovated; the walls had been repainted and were now clean and white.

The area below the waistline, which used to be covered with newspaper, has now been replaced with green paint.

This was a characteristic of that era; the furniture was also decorated with big red flowers and red "double happiness" characters.

The once empty room is now filled with many things.

Next to Gu Nan's wardrobe, a nearly identical new wardrobe appeared.

Su Niannian opened the wardrobe, and there were actually some clothes inside.

At this moment, Widow Wu came over, pointed to the clothes hanging inside and said, "I've finished making the fabric you gave me before, and I've put it all in the closet for you."

Su Niannian took out a piece; the stitching was excellent, showing that Widow Wu had put a lot of care and attention into it.

"Thank you, Sister Wu." Su Niannian smiled.

At this moment, Baozi stood by the earthen bed and said with a grin, "Aunt Gu said that I can sleep here tomorrow night and she'll press down the bed for you!"

Gu Ningning also jogged in from outside, pointing to the other ready-made clothes in the wardrobe.
