204 Chapter 203, Rehearsal
Soon, it was Li Lei’s wedding day.
Early in the morning, Ji Yuanyuan got up. The whole Li household was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.
Liu Guihua and Li Zhiming were busy entertaining the guests outside. Their voices could be heard from afar.
Li Xu helped her put on all the clothes she was going to wear today. She wore a red dress, white socks, and black leather shoes. She also put on a down jacket.
!!
She instructed, “When you go on stage, take off your jacket and put it on when you come down. Do you understand? Also, when you go on stage, hold hands with Brother Mucheng. Hold the ring firmly and don’t drop it!”
Ji Yuanyuan was going to be with Qin Mucheng today and be Li Lei’s flower girl at the wedding.
Li Xu was afraid that her daughter would be nervous and make a mistake. She had been exhorting her again and again since yesterday.
Ji Yuanyuan could memorize Li Xu’s words. She yawned and nodded. “I know. When will Brother Mucheng come?”
Li Lei hadn’t finished the formalities for his house in the city, so his wedding was held in the countryside.
He used the large tile-roofed house that Liu Guihua and Li Zhiming had prepared for him. He had bought some furniture and cleaned the house thoroughly. It looked decent.
Li Xu had brought Li Miao and Ji Yuanyuan over last night. Zhang Kun was still at home in the county, he will later brought the two children over.
It was only past five o’clock, but there were many guests at home. Ji Yuanyuan was forced to get out of bed.
“It’s still too early for your Brother Mucheng to come. There will be people coming over later. Follow Little Aunt and don’t run around, understand?”
As Li Lei’s elder sister and the head of the family, Li Xu definitely had to help their father and mother entertain the guests today. She had a lot of things to do, so she probably didn’t have time to take care of Ji Yuanyuan.
Ji Yuanyuan nodded and looked at Li Miao who was beside him. “Don’t worry, Mom. I’ll follow Aunty and I won’t go anywhere!”
Only then did Li Xu relax. She instructed Li Miao, “The foods in the kitchen were ready. Bring her there to eat.”
Li Miao reached out and carried Ji Yuanyuan. “Don’t worry, Sis.”
As she spoke, she kissed Ji Yuanyuan on the cheek. “Let’s go, let’s go eat!”
Li Lei and a few best men were currently at the new house. After Li Xu settled her daughter down, she ran over to the new house to help.
Li Miao brought Ji Yuanyuan to eat. It was only six o’clock.
Seeing that Ji Yuanyuan’s little head was getting drowsy, Li Miao felt a little heartache and said, “Little Auntie will hug you. Why don’t you sleep for a while?”
The villagers were very enthusiastic. They would come early in the morning to help out whenever there was a joyous occasion. Therefore, there were many people at home. Both houses were full of people.
She stretched out her hand and was about to hug Ji Yuanyuan.
Ji Yuanyuan came back to her senses and shook her head. “I’m not sleepy, Little Auntie!”
Last night, Ji Yuanyuan, Li Xu, and Li Miao slept on the same bed.
The two sisters were very excited. They chatted until one in the morning. The two sisters chatted, but Ji Yuanyuan could not fall asleep either. She was forced to stay up until one o’clock.
She got up at five o’clock, and only slept for four hours at night.
It would be strange if she was not sleepy!
Li Miao’s heart ached even more when she saw her niece trying to hold on. Without saying anything, she picked up Ji Yuanyuan and let her little head rest on her shoulder. “Sleep for a while. Auntie will take you to a quiet place!”
She carried Ji Yuanyuan and walked out of the house.
Ji Yuanyuan did not want to sleep, but it was too comfortable in Li Miao’s arms. She actually fell asleep while being swayed.
Li Miao was standing near the door. She heaved a sigh of relief when she felt Ji Yuanyuan’s whole body relax.
She held Ji Yuanyuan with one hand and gently patted her back with the other.
She had heard from her elder sister that the child would sleep even more soundly with such gentle pats.
At seven o’clock, Gong Wenbai drove over with Qin Junshan and Qin Mucheng. After parking the car, Qin Mucheng helped Qin Junshan out of the car.
Both grandfather and grandson wore suits and leather shoes today, looking very formal.
When Gong Wenbai got out of the car, Li Miao realized that Gong Wenbai was also wearing a suit.
“Yuanyuan fell asleep?” Qin Junshan asked in a whisper.
“Yes. She slept late last night and woke up too early this morning!” Li Miao said in a whisper.
“Why don’t you give her to me? It’s too tiring for you to carry her,” Gong Wenbai said when he saw Li Miao.
Li Miao raised her eyes and glanced at him. She shook her head with some restraint. “No need. She’s not heavy.”
Li Miao and Gong Wenbai were not strangers.
Gong Wenbai had picked her up twice, but they had not spoken much.
“Why don’t we put her in the car? It’s more comfortable to sleep in the car!” Qin Mucheng suggested.
Li Miao hesitated for a moment, but Gong Wenbai had already reached out and carried Ji Yuanyuan.
Ji Yuanyuan was lying on Li Miao’s body. When Gong Wenbai reached out, he could not help but touch Li Miao’s hand.
“I’m sorry!” Gong Wenbai apologized generously.
Li Miao was stunned for a moment before saying, “It’s nothing!”
He didn’t know why, but when he looked at Gong Wenbai again, she felt that something was wrong.
Gong Wenbai was very careful with the way he carried the child. After opening the car door, he carefully placed Ji Yuanyuan in the back seat.
The car seat was flat, and Ji Yuanyuan was sleeping soundly.
She slept until nine o’clock before Qin Mucheng woke her up.
Ji Yuanyuan opened her eyes hazily and saw the handsome little head peeking in through the car window.
“Yuanyuan, hurry and get up. The wedding will start in an hour.” Qin Mucheng tiptoed and said to Ji Yuanyuan, “Your Uncle has already picked up the bride. The bride is very beautiful!”
...
After being stunned for a few seconds, Ji Yuanyuan came back to her senses. She quickly got up from the car seat and got out.
Gong Wenbai was also beside her. When he saw Ji Yuanyuan get out, he raised the car window and locked the car.
Qin Mucheng went forward and held Ji Yuanyuan’s hand.
“If you are nervous, hold my hand tightly,” Qin Mucheng instructed. “What we need to do is very simple. We just need to follow the bride and scatter flowers behind her, and then pass the ring to her.”
Ji Yuanyuan was naturally not nervous, but in front of Qin Mucheng, she still nodded and said, “Okay!”
A rural wedding was relatively simple. They built a tent in the open air and set up a stage.
The place to eat was at home. There were a few tables in the yard. If their own yard was not enough, they would borrow the neighbor’s yard.
This was Qin Mucheng’s first time being a flower boy. Although he had always told Ji Yuanyuan not to be too nervous, he himself had always been very nervous.
He was afraid that he would make a mistake and mess up the other party’s wedding.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime event. It had to be perfect!
Therefore, taking advantage of the fact that everyone was still in the new room, he dragged Ji Yuanyuan to the stage.
...
They rehearsed twice first. When they officially went on stage, they would definitely not be so nervous and there would be no mistakes.
At the back of the stage, there were two people who seemed to be tidying up the background board. Seeing someone coming, they lowered their heads, covered their faces with their hats, and quickly hid behind the backboard.
