Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Du Xiaojuan heard her own father put his words so decisively, yet she still felt uneasy in her heart, because she knew better than anyone what kind of person her own father was.

But she could do nothing about Du Guoqing; she couldn't possibly run back to her hometown just to argue with Du Guoqing over such a small matter, could she?

She was still busy with work.

So she could only let it go.

After hanging up Du Guoqing's call, she turned around and told Wang Dashan there was no need to have his parents go to her hometown; they could meet at the New Year's Day wedding instead.

Wang Dashan felt this was somewhat improper, but since Du Xiaojuan had said so, he couldn't very well say anything more.

He just vaguely felt that not observing proper etiquette might plant some hidden trouble.

"Have you told your Third Brother about the New Year's Day wedding?"

Du Xiaojuan changed the subject at this point, because she didn't want to discuss her own parents' affairs too much.

"I haven't said anything, but my parents should have called him already."

Wang Dashan answered like this.

Du Xiaojuan then said:

"You'd better call him yourself and tell him, asking him to come back for New Year's Day; he needs to book the plane ticket in advance."

Wang Dashan nodded, just to be safe, and called Wang Xiaohua.

On the other end of the line, Wang Xiaohua told him that his parents had already called him about this matter, and he had already bought the plane ticket for December 31st.

"Big Brother, I never expected you and Second Brother to actually get married at the same time and place; by the way, I haven't even met Second Sister-in-law yet—did they develop their relationship so quickly?"

On the other end of the line, Wang Xiaohua asked with concern.

Wang Dashan could only answer with a smile:

"I haven't met her either, but as long as Second Brother is satisfied... By the way, how many days off do you get for New Year's Day?"

"Three days; I bought a plane ticket back to Beijing on the morning of the 3rd."

"Fine, then I'll drive you to the airport when the time comes."

Wang Xiaohua looked forward very much to the arrival of New Year's Day.

Besides the fact that his two older brothers were getting married together, there was another important reason: he had agreed to meet Li Jianjia in the County Town on New Year's Day.

It was said that since going to university, he and Li Jianjia had not seen each other again.

Originally Li Jianjia had told him she would go to Beijing to find him during National Day, but at that time his parents happened to be coming to Beijing, and Wang Xiaohua couldn't spare time to accompany her, so he declined her invitation.

This time, after learning that Big Brother and Second Brother were getting married on New Year's Day, Wang Xiaohua sent Li Jianjia a WeChat message right away, saying he would return to the County Town for New Year's Day, and if she had time, they could go out together.

Li Jianjia readily agreed: "Sure, then see you in the County Town!"

Besides this, Wang Xiaohua also sent a WeChat message to his high school deskmate Lin Xiao, asking if he was returning to his hometown for New Year's Day, and if he was, they could arrange to meet.

After all, they were old deskmates; meeting to enhance their friendship was also a good thing.

But Lin Xiao said he wasn't coming back; he had already planned to go out and play with his girlfriend on New Year's Day.

"You little brat, you found a girlfriend so quickly? Congratulations!"

Wang Xiaohua congratulated Lin Xiao from the bottom of his heart.

Lin Xiao sent a gritting-teeth emoji, then said:

"It's not that fast; there are many more people at school who found girlfriends faster than me."

Lin Xiao was telling the truth.

University was originally relatively free, and besides, whether male or female, everyone was in the stage of raging youthful hormones, so ordinary university students, as long as they were willing to find a partner, could still find one quite easily.

Of course, someone like Wang Xiaohua, with his lopsided appearance, was an exception.

Fortunately, Wang Xiaohua hadn't put his energy into romance; for more than half a semester, he had been burying himself in study, his attention not on this side, so he had no worries in this regard.

"Then when we have time later, we'll find another chance to meet."

Wang Xiaohua replied with this sentence.

Lin Xiao then said:

"Wait until the Spring Festival; everyone will go home for the Spring Festival. I heard the Class Monitor will organize a class reunion then; if there really is a class reunion, you, this Top Scorer, absolutely must not be absent!"

Wang Xiaohua laughed hehe:

"Don't call me Top Scorer; that was ages ago; hearing it makes me feel like you're making fun of me."

Wang Xiaohua didn't think there was anything to be proud of as the College Entrance Exam Top Scorer of this County Town.

Especially after he came to Tsinghua University, he found that his classmates around him were far stronger than him in both aptitude and drive, which often made him sigh involuntarily that he was like a grain of millet in the vast sea, as small as could be.

"By the way, Li Jianjia said she wanted to go find you during National Day; why didn't you let her go? Do you know you've completely hurt her heart? She came to me to cry about it."

Lin Xiao suddenly said such a sentence.

Wang Xiaohua was stunned.

"How did I hurt her heart? During National Day my parents came to Beijing to find me, and I told her that if she came, she'd probably have to go play by herself, and I might not be able to receive her."

Lin Xiao made a "tsk" sound, very speechless: "Aren't you rejecting Li Jianjia's kindness? Do you know how much courage it takes for a girl to actively go find a boy?"

Complex feelings surged in Wang Xiaohua's heart.

He wasn't that he didn't understand; he just felt he was unworthy.

Two sleeves clear poverty, how dare I delay the beauty?

As for Li Jianjia, not only was her appearance good, her grades good, but her family was also good.

Apart from his academic achievements, what did he have that was worthy of her?

Moreover, he did not want to delay his studies because of love.

This time he took the initiative to contact Li Jianjia and arranged to meet on New Year's Day; actually, he just wanted to make things clear to Li Jianjia, telling her he would devote all his energy to his studies, hoping to achieve something academically, and as for anything else, he would not think about it for the time being.

Time flew by and it was the day before New Year's Day, December 31st.

Wang Xiaohua took an airplane back to Guangzhou Baiyun Airport.

Then he took the subway to Guangzhou East Station, and at Guangzhou East Station he took a long-distance bus back to County Town.

He did not ask his eldest brother or second brother to pick him up, because he knew that at this time there was only one day left until the wedding ceremony, and his eldest brother and second brother were surely busy to the point of being unable to disentangle themselves.

After returning to County Town, only then did he call Wang Dashan.

Wang Dashan drove over to the bus station in County Town to pick up Wang Xiaohua and take him to Bigu Yuan Villa Area.

Because the new house at home had not yet been built, Wang Erhai had booked a villa at Bigu Yuan Villa Area to use as the marriage room.

At this time Wang Erhai was directing the people from the wedding company to decorate this villa.

This villa had many rooms; two were used as the marriage rooms for the two brothers, and additionally there were several guest rooms to receive Liu Meiqi's parents and relatives, as well as Du Xiaojuan's parents and relatives.

All of these needed to be decorated in advance.

Especially those two rooms used as marriage rooms, which had to be decorated with great care.

Anyone who had been married surely knew that decorating the marriage room sounded simple but was very troublesome to do.

Fortunately Wang Erhai had hired the wedding company, so all of this could be handled by the wedding company; he only needed to give some directions.
