CHAPTER 317: CHAPTER 317: WEDDING DRESS

During the five or six days on the road, it was almost always spent like this, with a few wonderful women fighting over food, which was also a kind of fun.

Xiao Xue had nothing to do but play games with her sisters, playing small games and having fun.

A few kids gathered in their compartment to play, snacking on candies, sunflower seeds, and cookies, while the two aunts tried several times to squeeze in but couldn’t.

Finally, they stormed off, making the kids laugh even more.

Lin Yun and Lin Xia, on the other hand, were huddled on one bunk designing clothes. Chattering away, Xiao Xue didn’t join them but led the other brothers and sisters in playing those little games.

The five elderly people also rested when tired, enjoyed the scenery when awake, snacked on dim sum and sunflower seeds, drank tea, and were quite comfortable.

The five or six days quickly passed, and when they got off the train, the old man made a phone call, and soon someone came to pick them up.

Everyone was taken to the guest house, and then Xiao Xue took her siblings to the courtyard house she bought, tidied up a bit, which was easy since she had already cleaned and repaired it after buying it, just a sweep and lighting a good fire.

However, Lin Yun was not among those working; she had already told her eldest sister she had an urgent dress to make, and even asked her brother-in-law to help buy a sewing machine and deliver it to the guest house.

Zhang Yuan was like an elusive dragon, always running outside, busy with who knows what.

Instead, Daliang brought Bai Dajiang and the three brothers from the Wang family over to help out.

Adults work faster, and soon, the courtyard and the inside of the house looked brand new, and the kang in all the rooms was warm.

Even the kitchen was cleaned up neatly, and Xiao Xue brought everything needed, which was actually taken from her stash.

The courtyard house in the Capital City was much bigger than the one in town, every child in the family had their own room, and there were still two rooms left after cleaning.

Grandma Xianglan with the two youngest grandchildren shared one room, while everyone else had their own room, and there were still two extra rooms.

Each room wasn’t small, showing just how big the house Xiao Xue bought was.

Time passed particularly fast amidst the busyness, four days had already passed since Xiao Xue settled the home.

The people sending the bride off, those who came to help, and others were all willingly taken out by Zhang Yu to tour the Capital City.

For those who came for the first time, they were all amazed, having visited all the famous places like the Great Wall and the Forbidden City, and tasted the famous snacks of the Capital City.

Especially the few kids felt a surge of drive, determined to work hard and live in the Capital City like Sister Xiao Xue.

Life in the Capital City was more than ten years ahead of their rural home, after visiting several department stores, those girls were even more determined with this belief.

Xiao Xue never discussed with Zhang Yuan about the wedding day after arriving in the Capital City, and Zhang Yuan never took the initiative to mention it, so she had been busy with her own affairs these few days, not even remembering she was getting married.

To be honest, the bride’s wedding is just a meal without any ceremony, so she returned to her previous state, without feeling like she was going to be a married woman.

It wasn’t until the early morning of the fifth day that Lin Yun and Zhang Yuan brought over the red wedding dress for her to try on that she realized it.

It turned out that the second sister had been busy making a wedding dress for her.

She had told Lin Yun that in Western countries, they wore something called a wedding dress for marriage, and even gave a rough sketch.

Unexpectedly, the second sister actually made her a wedding dress, although she had already prepared the dress for her wedding in the Capital City.

"Elder sister, why are you in a daze? Quickly try on the dress! If it doesn’t fit, I’ll alter it!" Lin Yun looked at her stunned elder sister and said with her usual gentle smile.

"Wife, quickly try on the dress! Second sister says it’s your favorite wedding dress, and she’s been working day and night for five days on it! She was designing it the whole time on the train! After trying on the dress, we still have to go take pictures! We’re running out of time!" Zhang Yuan also smiled on the side, reminding Xiao Xue.

Xiao Xue’s eyes stung with emotion, and she could hardly hold back her tears. Right now, if she opened her mouth to speak, she’d undoubtedly burst into tears.

She had never thought she could walk into marriage in a wedding dress because, at that time, there were no wedding dresses, which were only from abroad.

"Elder sister, hurry and put it on and show us! This dress already looks beautiful!" Lin Shuang stepped forward, her eyes fixed on the wedding dress.

Today, the house was completely organized, so grandma, grandma, and grandpa all came over.

At this point, despite the cold winter, everyone had come out, and they didn’t just look, but urged Xiao Xue to quickly try on the wedding dress.

"Elder sister, according to our country’s customs, red is required for festive occasions, so I changed the white dress color you mentioned. The fabric that brother-in-law got certainly took a lot of effort, I hope you don’t dislike it..." Lin Yun saw her elder sister hesitating and thought she didn’t like it, anxiously explaining.

Xiao Xue held back her tears and said sullenly, "I have to go back to the room to try on the dress! How can I try it outside?"

Although she restrained herself, when she turned around, Lin Yun still saw a tear on her elder sister’s face. She smiled gently, knowing her elder sister was touched.

As long as she liked it, her proud elder sister was embarrassed to cry in front of everyone, hence her awkwardness.

Thinking of this, she quickly waved over the third sister and followed the elder sister into her room.

With the help of her two sisters, Xiao Xue quickly put on the wedding dress.

Looking at the handmade embroidery and unique design, although it was bright red, it didn’t look tacky at all, instead, it had an elegant and luxurious feel, and Xiao Xue loved it very much.

"Elder sister, this is too beautiful! You already look stunning, and wearing this wedding dress, you look like a fairy coming down from heaven!" Lin Xia couldn’t stop praising her elder sister.

Lin Yun also carefully checked for any fitting issues, but seeing the perfectly fitting dress, she admired her understanding of her elder sister’s figure.

Her elder sister had been modeling for her for quite some time, so there was a reason she could make it so precisely.

"Elder sister, do you like it?" Lin Yun asked, watching Xiao Xue twirl around admiring herself.

"Of course I like it! It’s a world-unique custom fit! Thank you! My dear!" Xiao Xue had regained her composure, giving each a pat on the head.

"Tch, elder sister, you keep patting my head! I’m so grown up already!" Lin Xia pouted in dissatisfaction.

Lin Yun, on the other hand, liked her elder sister treating her this way, feeling that she was still the little sister being protected by her elder sister.

"So what if you’re grown up? No matter how old you are, you’re still my sister, and you don’t want me patting your head? Be careful, I’ll pat it every day!" Xiao Xue adjusted her mood, also knowing the third sister was deliberately helping her adjust her emotions.

"Quickly go out and show them! Brother-in-law is turning into a stone waiting for his wife!" Seeing that her elder sister had calmed down, Lin Xia helped lift the wedding dress and pushed her out.

Lin Yun also helped tidy it up, and the three of them walked out together, holding the dress up on either side.
