Gu Zi and Su Shen then served tea to Mr. and Mrs. Lin. They also invited the elderly couple to the Su family’s house tomorrow afternoon to see their wedding photos.

In this era, photography was still a rare occurrence, and wedding photos were even more scarce. After obtaining them, it was inevitable to call over family members for inspection and discussion.

Gu Zi and Su Shen left Lin’s house after having lunch. When they arrived home, someone from the pig farm came with a message.

In the morning, the pig farm office received a call from Uncle Li, the owner of a bridal shop. He wanted to introduce a girl named Jiang Nuan as a flower girl for Su Shen and Gu Zi’s wedding.

Jiang Nuan, a seven-year-old girl, was the child of his friend. She had a calm yet lively personality, looked cute, and had a particularly charming smile, making her suitable for the role of a flower girl.

Gu Zi then remembered that they hadn’t started looking for a flower girl yet!

Su Shen asked for Gu Zi’s opinion, and she said, “Let’s go meet her tomorrow morning as Uncle Li suggested. The people he recommends are usually reliable. We can also buy the flower girl’s dress when we go.”

The man nodded, instructing the messenger to go back and convey their response and arrange a meeting for tomorrow morning.

As they entered the house, they saw Su Bing and Su Li doing their homework. Su Shen found it somewhat unbelievable.

Su Bing was diligent and conscientious when it came to homework, which was normal. However, Su Li was surprisingly focused today, even when they returned. He only greeted them with a simple “hello, mom and dad” before lowering his head to resume his homework.

Su Shen was puzzled by this level of concentration.

Gu Zi noticed his gaze and understood his expression. She said to him, “Our Su Li is actually quite good; he just needs a little guidance.”

Su Shen hugged her waist and kissed her cheek, praising, “It’s your magic touch!”

Gu Zi playfully pushed him, and he released his hold, going along with her gesture.

She reminded him in a serious tone, “There are children around; let’s be serious. By the way, who should we find for the male flower boy?”

Flower boys were usually chosen from the children of relatives and friends; strictly speaking, one’s own children couldn’t be flower boys.

Su Shen had also inquired with the elders in the village and mentioned, “For male flower boys, it’s usually better to choose someone a bit chubby and likeable. ”

While they were discussing this, Shi Tou from next door stood outside the courtyard gate and shouted, “Fairy Sister is back; Grandma, quickly bring Lele over!”

When Gu Zi heard that childish voice, she clapped her hands. “Shi Tou is five years old this year, right? He’s very lively and energetic. How about him?”

Su Shen also felt that it was appropriate. When Aunt Zhang brought her grandson over with Su Le, they discussed the matter with her.

‘With his bear-like appearance, are you sure you want him to be a flower boy?” Aunt Zhang chuckled.

Shi Tou looked at her grandmother bitterly when he heard this. Wasn’t she his real grandmother? Why couldn’t he be a flower boy for Fairy Sister? “I want to be a flower boy for Fairy Sister! I want to be a flower boy!”

Zhang Cuihua gave Shi Tou a glance; this naughty child had no sense of reserve.

Gu Zi said sincerely, “Of course, we’re sure. Aunt Zhang, if you agree, we’ll take Shi Tou to the city tomorrow to buy clothes and shoes. I guarantee that he’ll appear beautifully on the day.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Cuihua realized that this couple had indeed set their eyes on her grandson as a flower boy.

As a grandmother, she was delighted. Although she often teased Shi Tou for his foolish appearance, deep down, she couldn’t bear to part with him.

Zhang Cuihua readily agreed. If Shi Tou could be a flower boy for Su Shen and Gu Zi, it would bring her some face. Who would still say that her Shi Tou only knew how to eat and nothing else?

Gu Zi was a little sleepy as she hugged Su Le. She had been busy with wedding preparations, and even her afternoon naps had been neglected for several days.

Considering the current situation where Su Shen was handling most of the matters, she couldn’t help but imagine how much more challenging it would be if the groom didn’t participate at all. Planning everything alone would be quite a daunting task.

Seeing Gu Zi yawning, Su Shen said to her, “Take Lele and go rest for a while. Someone will be coming later, and I’ll handle it. The closer we get to the wedding, the busier it becomes. If you’re tired, just rest. I’ll take care of everything.”

Gu Zi agreed but added, “I’ll just lie down for a while. When the guest arrives, wake me up. It’s not right for a man to handle everything when it comes to matters at home. What about your dignity?”

Su Shen replied, “I don’t mind these things. As long as you’re okay.”

Gu Zi gently said, “Even if you don’t mind, I do. I have to maintain my man’s dignity. Besides, feeling busy makes me realize that I’m truly going to marry you. This shared experience of preparing for the wedding together is precious. Don’t even think about shouldering all the happiness alone..”
