Chapter 487: Chapter 486: Strong Will despite Physical Disability (1 update)

Chen Xiaorou was dressed as ordinarily today as she always did, and wouldn’t change into her wedding attire until the next day.

Seeing Xu Niannian and Xu Sisi come in, she greeted them warmly, "Boss, Sisi, you’re here."

"Still calling me boss?" Xu Niannian said with a laugh as she reminded her, "We’re almost family now."

Xu Sisi also laughed along, "Exactly, we’re all family now."

Chen Xiaorou smiled shyly, "Sister."

"Ah, that sounds nice." Xu Niannian liked being called sister and took out the big red packet she had prepared in advance, stuffing it into Chen Xiaorou’s hands.

"Strictly speaking, the change-of-address fee should be given tomorrow, but our family isn’t that traditional. You called me sister today, so I’m giving it to you today."

The red packet Xu Niannian handed out was quite substantial, bulging to the touch.

Chen Xiaorou felt it was too much and tried to give it back, but Xu Niannian wouldn’t take it, saying that a red packet sent cannot be returned as it’s bad luck, instantly dismissing all of Chen Xiaorou’s objections, leaving her no choice but to reluctantly accept it.

Looking at the thickness of the red packet, Xu Sisi’s eyes sparkled with stars, "Sister Niannian, you’ll give me a big red packet when I get married, too."

"Oh, thinking about marriage already, it seems you’re quite satisfied with the match Uncle has arranged for you," Xu Niannian teased Xu Sisi with a smile.

Xu Sisi had just casually mentioned it, but when teased by Xu Niannian, she suddenly remembered that there was an unresolved vexing issue.

The smile on her pretty face disappeared instantly, "Sister Niannian, can you not bring up what shouldn’t be mentioned?"

She rocked Xu Niannian’s arm as she held it, "I’m your cousin, after all; you can’t side with that unserious Xu Erhong and turn against me. You have to help me out."

Xu Niannian quickly waved her hands, "We’ll talk about this later. Today, it’s Sister Xiao Rou who’s the star. Go stand over there."

Xu Sisi was very understanding, knowing that even though the issue was pressing, she couldn’t make a fuss about it at this time.

Otherwise, her Aunty would chase her with a kitchen knife from one end of the village to the other.

Chen Xiaorou watched Xu Niannian and Xu Sisi interact with such close bonds, and couldn’t help but feel envious.

Outside the house, quite a few people had already arrived to help and join the excitement.

Though Chen Xiaorou was not getting married from her own family home, Yang Cuihua did not treat her poorly at all.

Moreover, she had invited the villagers over to add to the festive atmosphere.

After all, a wedding is all about atmosphere.

If it’s too quiet, it would be so dull.

Xu Niannian and Xu Sisi stayed inside talking with Chen Xiaorou, while Xu Sanya, dragging her injured arm, went to serve three bowls of sweet wine rice cake.

"Oh my, it’s going to spill, it’s going to spill. Sanya, come over quickly and help," Xu Sanya called out in a high-pitched voice.

When Xu Niannian and Xu Sisi saw Xu Sanya managing to balance three bowls of rice wine on her own, they hurried over to help in alarm.

"Young Aunt, why are you carrying so much on your own? Your arm is still injured," Xu Niannian was moved by her perseverance.

Xu Sanya proudly said, "That’s nothing. Yesterday I was moving tables with the village men while I had my arm in a sling. Everyone praised me for being capable."

This comment made Xu Niannian and Xu Sisi feel a little embarrassed.

She really was perseverance personified.

"You better eat this quickly," Xu Sanya said as she wiped the sweat from her forehead. "Niannian, you come over early tomorrow to do Xiao Rou’s makeup."

Xu Niannian was taken aback, "Isn’t it supposed to be tonight?"

Xu Sanya waved her hand dismissively, "No need, no need. They won’t come to fetch the bride until noon tomorrow. You just need to come over in the morning and do her makeup, and that’s fine. I’ll take care of the rest, you don’t have to worry."

Xu Sanya spoke decisively.

She told Xu Niannian everything she needed to know and then dashed off to help outside.

Before she had even left, Xu Niannian and the others heard Xu Sanya yelling from afar to the people outside, "That person carrying the iron pot, put it down, let me do it."

The three of them were speechless...

No wonder Xu Erhong had assigned her to move tables; she just couldn’t stay idle.

But Xu Niannian was thinking about something else.

Her Little Uncle.

Since Xu Niannian had been reborn, she had not even seen him once.

Her own wedding had been a significant event, as was the engagement.

Each time it seemed that the Little Uncle was conveniently busy.

All along, Xu Niannian’s memories of this Little Uncle were limited to those of the original host.

Even then, those memories were sparse.

The Little Uncle seemed like an honest man, and he was a teacher.

Being a teacher shouldn’t keep him that busy, right?

Xu Niannian couldn’t help but wonder a bit more.

Her interactions with Xu Sanya were few, after all, since Xu Sanya, being a married aunt, seldom returned home and mostly focused on her in-laws.

So Xu Niannian didn’t really understand what this uncle was up to.

Was he so busy that he couldn’t even make time for his wife’s nephew’s wedding?

For most people, this would be an occasion to take time off work, and even if they couldn’t get leave, they’d still make it after class.

"Sister Niannian, what are you looking at?" Xu Sisi cocked her head, trying to follow Xu Niannian’s gaze.

She just caught sight of the determined Xu Sanya, with one arm in a sling, struggling to lift a large pot with her other hand.

A nearby uncle watched her with a helpless expression on his face.
