"Uncle, you don’t need to buy these duvet covers and sheets," Tang Yue said, teasing him without explaining the reason.
In her free time, Tang Yue started frantically searching for fabric around the county. The fabric from the factory was all for making clothes, not suitable for making quilts, but she was sure the county stores would have it.
As the saying goes, effort pays off. At the seventh fabric store she visited, Tang Yue found cotton material printed with bright red ’happiness’ characters and burst into laughter. She explained how much fabric she needed, then took it back to the factory.
She had already measured the size for the quilt. As for the sheets, they just needed to have sufficient width on both sides.
This was her first time making a duvet cover, but it wasn’t a difficult task for her.
It took her half a day, but she managed to complete the four-piece set, even taking special care to stitch the edges. The female workers at the factory kept praising the duvet cover Tang Yue made, saying it would definitely look beautiful on a bed.
Tang Yue giggled and, that evening, brought Zhang Hualian to the neighboring room to try fitting the quilt into the cover. It was a perfect fit, and the matching sheets and pillows made the bed look significantly more attractive.
"Xiao Yue, can this cotton quilt be directly fitted into the cover like this?" Zhang Hualian, seeing this method for the first time, instantly asked.
"Absolutely," Tang Yue ensured confidently, patting her chest proudly as she showed the finished product to Tang Mingli.
Tang Mingli was thrilled to see the festive, bright red quilt. He almost wanted to hug Tang Yue, but remembered the differences between men and women, and that Tang Yue was no longer a little girl. He managed to hold back, but his eyes couldn’t hide his joy as he said, "Xiao Yue, Jiajia will definitely love it if she sees this."
When Tang Mingli spoke of Jiajia, his eyes softened tenderly. During this period, he had been busy preparing for the wedding. Invitations needed to be sent, and some people needed personal visits; he couldn’t afford to overlook anyone.
Because the wedding was being held in town and not like in the rural areas where every household helps, Tang Mingli reserved banquet services at a nearby restaurant half a month in advance. He also put a lot of thought into selecting the dishes.
Tang Mingli cherished Wei Jiajia deeply, personally attending to every aspect of their wedding.
No matter how busy he was, he always found time for preparations, especially now as their wedding day was drawing near. Tang Mingli often called the Wei family.
On the wedding day, they’d have a banquet at the Wei’s place by noon and another in Wangjiang County by night.
As the wedding day approached, Tang Mingli felt both urgency and anticipation.
One Saturday, Tang Yue accompanied Tang Mingli to the bride’s home, meeting the soon-to-be-wed Wei Jiajia, whose characteristic dimples and sweet smile were truly delightful to see.
As a representative of the groom’s side, Tang Yue couldn’t stay overnight at the bride’s house, so she stayed in a hotel with Tang Mingli.
Due to the distance, Tang Mingli didn’t bring many people; just Tang Yue and her brother, along with Tang Zhengyuan and Tang Zhengde, as well as Zhu Yuanchao and Ding Chao.
Tang Mingli had wanted Qi Song to come along, but Qi Song declined due to his bad leg.
Tang Yue, exhausted from the day, fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow. She woke up early the next morning to join Tang Mingli going to Wei Jiajia’s house, where the Wei family held a grand banquet.
Ever since Tang Mingli saw Wei Jiajia in her bright red wedding dress, he couldn’t take his eyes off her.
