Chapter 195: Chapter 195: Like a Little Elf

Su Wanyu was originally a beauty and now, with lipstick applied and eyebrows drawn, she looked even more exquisite and delicate.

Jiang Changhai was tall with well-proportioned features, and his eyes sparkled with cleverness and vitality.

Because he slacked off and was lazy in his work all year round, he didn’t get much sun exposure and wasn’t as dark-skinned as the other rural men.

Jiang Mianmian was blessed with the best features of both parents; her skin color, facial shape, and the delicate beauty of her mouth and eyebrows were inherited from her mother.

Her bright, expressive eyes and the tall nose came from her father.

Like a delicate carving, the little girl looked like a celestial child seated beneath the Goddess of Mercy.

The whole family stood there, basking in their success, looking less like villagers and more like natives of the city.

Although Zhang Guihua usually looked down on the lazy bunch, seeing them all spruced up now, she found them rather pleasing to the eye.

She looked at them with a kind gaze and said, “Hey, Eldest looks just like me when I was young.”

Sun Lixia, however, stared at the fashionable and pretty Su Wanyu, her heart brimming with sour feelings.

The wife of the Eldest really knew how to make an impression, all dolled up every day like a seductive sprite, probably thinking about whom she could ensnare.

Eldest was a fool without a clue, willing to spend whatever money his wife wanted, just don’t let it come back to bite him by changing the color of his head.

Zhao Xiaojuan didn’t have such concerns, and the other girls had only admiration without jealousy, but Zhaodi felt uneasy and dissatisfied.

She eyed the radiant first branch of the family, then glanced at her own family’s dusty clothes, inwardly swearing that one day she would give her family a good life that others would envy.

“Mom and Dad, let’s go to the commune meeting, we shouldn’t be late. My daughter is going to be honored today,” Jiang Changhai rubbed his hands, clearly eager to depart.

“Let’s go, let’s go.”

Jiang Dashan and Zhang Guihua, the old couple, were also very happy, wearing the cotton shoulder wraps and new cotton shoes Jiang Changhai bought for them; they walked out with their heads held high.

The three from the first branch of the family followed closely behind, striding out with pride and confidence.

The second branch followed, holding themselves upright; apart from Zhaodi, they were genuinely happy for Jiang Mianmian.

Only the Third Branch had no expression on their faces, their hearts sour as if soaked in aged vinegar.

Although they were unhappy and didn’t want to watch San Ya being publicly honored,

It was still a joyous occasion for the Jiang Family, and they couldn’t show displeasure in front of their parents.

But forcing a smile just wasn’t possible for them.

Zhiwen and Zhiwu, the two silly boys, were oblivious to their parents’ displeasure, bantering and laughing all the way, happier than if they themselves had passed their exams.

Their sister was going to be recognized at the big meeting, having such an amazing sister would give them much face at school in the future.

“Old Jiang Family, is your whole family going to the commune meeting?” others in the village asked as they saw such a grand procession.

For the monthly routine commune meeting, it was enough for just one family member to represent.

Zhang Guihua lifted her chin with a triumphant air and said, “On such a big day, of course the whole family must go!”

When you all see San Ya being honored at the commune, you’re going to be so envious your eyes will turn red.

Arriving at the meeting place, several villagers greeted each other, creating a friendly atmosphere.

Soon the meeting began, and the commune leader started with his usual platitudes, encouraging everyone to work harder in the coming year.
