Bab 689: Chapter 690: Future Aunt

Now that the old man had finally settled the major event in his life, how could Land Officer Yang and his wife not be happy? Even their son, who had been running around outside all year round, had come back.

"Mom, I won't go over for lunch today," Yang Chuxia told Ms. Wang early in the morning.

Ms. Wang was still supposed to go to Land Officer Yang's side to help, having been busy there all afternoon yesterday.

"Go ahead, and help your Uncle Dayong welcome your little aunt later. Your great-aunt mentioned it to me last night, and I agreed. All the older girls in our village have already gotten married, and there's no one to welcome the bride," she said.

This welcoming of the bride wasn't about the groom going to the bride's home to bring her back, but rather a local custom. When the bride arrived at her mother-in-law's house, several unmarried girls would be found to welcome her from afar, and they would stay in the bridal chamber with her in the end.
