Chapter 553 - 551: Backing Up
Before dawn the second day, all the lights in the Liu Family Courtyard were bright.
Song Chongjin heard the noise outside and immediately woke up, pushing the still sleeping Wang Family Brothers awake.
The three of them got up, washed their faces with cold water, and regained their alertness.
The Liu Family had already made all the preparations.
The matchmaker had already helped Liu Xiaoqiao draw her brows and apply makeup early on.
Mother Liu, both relieved and reluctant, stepped forward to comb Liu Xiaoqiao’s hair, murmuring as she did so, "One comb to the end, a second for hair as white as eyebrows, and a third for children and grandchildren all around..."
By the end, she couldn’t help but let the tears flow.
Liu Xiaoqiao, who had been worried yesterday about Wang Yongping not coming to marry her, found it hard to leave today when the time actually came.
Her eyes also reddened, as she simply held on to Mother Liu, calling her ’mother’.
It took the matchmaker a good while to console the mother and daughter before they could stop their tears, finish combing the hair, put on the red flowers, and cover the head with a red bridal veil.
Outside, Wang Yongping and his companions had also eaten breakfast and changed into the groom’s red robes. With the joyous spirit of the occasion, he even exuded a certain masculine vigor.
