Yun Jingting came over in the middle of the night.
Standing in the courtyard, she said, "Xiang 'er, let me introduce you to someone …"
She casually pointed at the door and said, "This is my second sister, Yun Jingqi …"
Mi Xaing 'er instinctively tidied her hair and adjusted her clothes before turning around to take a look.
She saw a woman in a police uniform standing on the steps. She looked to be about 30 years old. She had short hair, beautiful eyebrows, clear facial features, and a tall figure. When she stood there, she looked a little like a model from the 21st century.
It was no wonder.
Her slender figure was probably passed down from her ancestors. After all, Yun Jingting was very tall.
Yun Jingqi's attitude was particularly affectionate. She walked quickly to Mi Xaing 'er, held her hand tightly, and patted her from head to toe. "You're Xiao Mi …"
Not only did this address not feel abrupt, but it also felt intimate.
Mi Xaing 'er had a polite smile on her lips. She was a little upset that Yun Jingting did not inform her in advance. If she had informed her earlier, she could have at least changed her clothes and put on some makeup.
A woman would doll herself up for her lover.
She would also "doll herself up" for her lover's family and friends.
She could not help but glare at Yun Laohu.
Yun Jingting did not understand what it meant. While his sister was not paying attention, he mouthed silently to ask her what was wrong …
Men's thinking was always different from women's.
Mi Xaing 'er could not explain it to him in detail.
Yun Jingqi grabbed her hand and did not let go. She glanced at her younger brother and said, "Look, Tiger, you have good taste. How can such a gentle and beautiful girl marry you? Let me tell you, with that bad temper of yours, you have to control it in the future. If you dare to bully Xiao Mi, I'll be the first to disagree …"
Regardless of whether these words were true or not, it was comforting to hear them.
Yun Laohu lowered his head and laughed silently. When someone praised his wife for being gentle and beautiful, it was even more beautiful than when he was praised for being handsome and powerful.
Mi Xaing 'er was not pretentious. Although she did not say it out loud, she was certain that Yun Jingting was her. Besides, since the two of them had already registered their marriage and he had brought her sister, wasn't it obvious?
He was here to acknowledge her.
She greeted her obediently, "Sister, hello …"
The Yun siblings both laughed.
Yun Laohu felt that his wife was quite sensible. Her attitude was neither servile nor overbearing, and did not embarrass him.
Yun Jingqi felt that although her sister-in-law was young and came from a village, she was neither coy nor pretentious. She was an easy-going and sensible person.
Of the house, of course, of the Family's sister's of the day, Yun's sister's sister's sister … "
Of the of the of the of the night, of the of the of the night, the of the of the of the of the night of the night's's's's's.
She then looked around. Although it was dark, she could still see the outline of the courtyard. "Oh, your family's house is quite big …"
Mi Xaing 'er lowered her head slightly. "It's not necessarily a good thing to have a big house!"
Yun Jingqi was also a smart person, and she immediately understood what she meant. She lowered her voice and said, "Xiang 'er, I think that you can't judge a book by its cover. Although this is the current trend in society, the current situation is also a little … sigh, let's not talk about politics. Let's talk about romance. Tiger has already told me about the registration of the two of you. I'm really, really happy for the both of you. You don't understand him. He has a bad temper and is old-fashioned …"
Ah …
Old-fashioned?
Mi Xaing 'er narrowed her eyes and smiled. "Sister, forgive me for interrupting. It's possible that Head Of Yun has a bad temper, but I don't think he's old-fashioned. I think he's quite talkative …"
"That depends on who he's talking to. Tiger has always been a man of few words in front of outsiders. Even though we're so close, when we meet, I'm the one who's rushing to tease him. He's talkative with you because he likes you. Otherwise, why would he pester you to marry him?"
Why would he pester you to marry him?
It seemed that Second Sister Yun also knew some inside information. She knew that this little sister-in-law was a treasure in her younger brother's heart. She loved the house and its crow, so naturally, she thought highly of Mi Xaing 'er.
Yun Jingqi was also very straightforward. "Xiao Mi 'er, what do you think marriage is? It's about finding a life partner and spending the rest of your life with each other. In the spring breeze and summer rain, when it's late at night, the two of you can easily talk about personal matters. A person's life can be long or short. If you want to be happy for a long time, you must find the right person …"
She spoke very quickly, and there was a hint of gentleness in her voice. However, there was always a hint of sadness hidden in her words.
It must have something to do with her life experience.
Mi Xaing 'er was not in a position to ask more, so she could only answer casually, "Second Sister is right …"
Just as she finished speaking …
Tang Xiling heard the noise and came out to welcome them. She stood under the eaves with an elegant posture. The faint moonlight shone on her, adding a hint of tranquility to her. She immediately had the demeanor of a "Young Miss".
Mi Xaing 'er quickly introduced her.
"Mom, this is Yun Jingting's second sister, Yun Jingqi …"
"Second Sister, this is my mother. Her surname is Tang …"
Yun Jingqi was also a polite person. She quickly went up to her and bowed respectfully. "Auntie, hello, Tiger. I'll have to trouble you to take care of him in the future …"
As an officer, there was no need to slap a smiling face. She was wearing a police uniform and was so polite. Tang Xiling was also willing to return the courtesy. Besides, when she saw that Yun Jingting had brought her family over, it meant that she wanted to confirm her daughter's status. There was no need to mention how happy she was in her heart.
When she spoke, she was no longer as crazy as before. She looked very ladylike. She nodded slightly and smiled faintly. "You're welcome, Second Sister of the Yun family. My daughter is slow-witted. I'll have to trouble your family in the future …"
Oh ho …
Mi Xaing 'er pursed her lips in the dark.
Yun Laohu happened to come back as well. When she heard this, she quickly glanced at her wife. The two of them looked at each other tacitly. There was relief and happiness in their eyes.
Relief …
Happiness …
Of course …
As a newlywed couple, no one was willing to see the two families in a mess. Of course, they hoped that they could live in harmony with each other.
Tang Xiling turned her body to the side. "Second Sister of the Yun family, please come in …"
Yun Jingqi entered the house graciously.
After the host and guest modestly declined, she sat down at the seat next to Tang Xiling according to etiquette. According to old etiquette, there was nothing to be picky about.
Yun Jingting came in after her. She carried a few gift boxes wrapped in red paper in her hands. She placed them on the table and faced Tang Xiling. "Mom, Mi Xaing 'er and I are indeed married according to the law …"
According to the law …
Right …
In other words, it was legal for them to live together. Last night, I slept with my brother-in-law out of respect for you.
Yun Jingting continued in a low and pleasant voice, "However, you were not present when Xiang 'er and I registered our marriage. To put myself in your shoes, you only have one daughter. You should feel a little regretful. I went back and thought about it. Although according to the rules of the new society, there is no such thing as a matchmaker, you raised your daughter and gave her to me for free. I should express my gratitude …"
She gently pushed the gift boxes forward. "Of course there is a betrothal gift. According to the rules of the village, this is a sign of respect for the maternal family."
Tang Xiling was a little moved.
According to the standards of the 1970s, a cadre in the army had to break the customs of the old society and firmly support a simple marriage in order to set an example.
Yun Jingting's behavior of obeying the old rules was obviously done to "please" her.
Why did Yunnan Tiger …
Anyway, they had already received their marriage certificate. So what if he ignored his maternal family?
However, he was the opposite. He listened to everything his mother-in-law said.
What else was there to be picky about?
Just as she was pondering …
Yun Jingqi stood up and took out a folded piece of red cloth from her pocket. She carefully opened it and handed it to Mi Xaing 'er. "I have a few words that I want to say today. Logically speaking, the elders of the two families should meet to discuss the marriage. However, my father is very busy with work. Moreover, due to some family reasons, my younger brother and him are not on good terms. Anyway, I'm representing my family to meet the in-laws. I don't mean to disrespect you. It's just that this is the result of the situation. I hope you can understand. "
She opened the red cloth bag. Inside was a set of dragon and phoenix gold jewelry. There were two bracelets, two earrings, and a gold necklace.
Just by looking at the workmanship and hollowness, one could tell that it was an old piece of gold. "Xiao Mi 'er, this is my mother's dowry. It's said that this set of five pieces has been passed down in her family for several generations. When my mother left, she specially instructed that this set of five pieces should only be passed down to her daughter-in-law. Today, I've brought it for you …"
She grabbed Mi Xaing 'er's hand and gently put the bracelets on her wrist. She took half a step back and carefully examined the bracelets. The design was exquisite and the carvings were realistic. The bright yellow gold matched Mi Xaing' er's snow-white and slender wrist. It was especially pleasing to the eye under the light.
Yun Jingqi was slightly emotional. "Younger Brother, look. This bracelet is so beautiful on Xiao Mi 'er's wrist. The moment I saw it, I was reminded of …"
She hurriedly stopped talking and took a deep breath. "Sigh, let's not talk about those unhappy things. I hope that this set of jewelry can replace our mother and witness your happy wedding …"
The wedding
Tang Xiling leaned forward in her chair. "What wedding?"
