Although in this era there was no "bang!" sound followed by something flying everywhere.

However, there was also confetti thrown on the heads of the bride and groom.

Made of sequins, in red and green, cut into small triangles.

They put it in a plastic bag, grabbed handfuls of it, and threw it into the air.

Before long, Yu Qian and Huaihua's heads were covered with these shiny colored papers.

Seeing this familiar scene, the fat man was also filled with emotion.

It has to be said that if the bride doesn't have some confetti in her hair, it just doesn't feel like there's a certain atmosphere to it.

People in this era are simple and kind; there are no wedding pranks. The bride will not change her mind at the last minute, and she will not get out of the car without an 88,000 yuan "getting off the sedan chair" red envelope.

Chen Mengqi, that sharp-eyed girl, whispered to Fatty, "Dad, look at Sister Huaihua's eyes!"

The fat man looked over and exclaimed, "Good heavens! The way Huaihua looked at Yu Qian from behind the fan was full of sweetness!"

Her face was beaming with a happy smile!

The fat man glanced at the locust flowers, then turned to look at Chen Mengqi, his eyes filled with worry that she was "turning her back on her own," leaving the latter completely bewildered.

"..."

With the arrival of the bride and groom, the Qili Pavilion quickly filled with people.

On the makeshift stage, the fat man took the initiative to speak:

"Welcome to the wedding of the groom Yu Qian and the bride Jia Yi. Thank you all for coming!"

Xu Damao, unaware of what was going on, started clapping. He felt that the atmosphere had reached a certain point, and it would be inappropriate not to clap.

With this person taking the lead, the others finally realized what was happening, and the applause was so enthusiastic that you couldn't even hear them talking.

After a while, the fat man continued, "In the past, when we held weddings, the process was very simple, and it always felt like it was over in the blink of an eye. However, times have changed. With the reform and opening up, everyone's material conditions have improved, so we also have higher spiritual pursuits."

The hall was very quiet; everyone was waiting for the fat man to continue.

"I often say that life should have a sense of ritual. For example, the whole family can decorate the room together and place picture frames of different shapes in various corners of the room; or the whole family can go grocery shopping together, cook together, and enjoy bamboo shoots in spring, mushrooms in summer, water chestnuts in autumn, and dumplings in winter, etc."

Through these small rituals, we learn to cherish things more. Cherish our family and love life.

Today, we gather here to witness the happiest moment for a newlywed couple. We are holding a small but joyous ceremony that will become a precious memory for the future.

Now let me interview the groom. At this moment, is there anything you'd like to say?

After the fat man finished speaking, he shoved the microphone into Yu Qian's mouth.

Yu Qian wasn't nervous at first, but the moment he saw the microphone, it was like seeing a smoking grenade...

He couldn't even speak anymore: "I, ah, I want, I want..."

He hesitated for a long time before finally managing to say, "I need to go to the toilet."

Below the stage, Yu Li covered her face, exhausted.

At the third table from the left, a group of guys from "Where to Move" were also stamping their feet and beating their chests, exclaiming, "What a disgrace!"

Yu Wanlin gave Jia Zhangshi an awkward yet polite smile.

He thought to himself, "I'll definitely teach that little brat a lesson when I get back!"

The audience roared with laughter, especially Xu Damao and Shazhu, who almost hugged each other from laughing so hard.

That's why they're said to be true love.

At the fourth table on the right, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu were also laughing so hard they couldn't stop.

In front of so many people, he actually dared to act all high and mighty, hahaha...

On stage, Huaihua wanted nothing more than to kick Yu Qian, but luckily a fan blocked her way, preventing her from being impolite. However, her violently shaking shoulders betrayed her true feelings.

Chen Mengqi laughed and fell into Chen Yan's arms: "Hahaha, Brother Yu Qian is so funny!"

"..."

The fat man glared at him with a dark expression, put away the microphone, and quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Um, let's interview someone else. As the saying goes, a young woman's first time in a sedan chair, so bride, what would you like to say to everyone at this moment?"

Huaihua turned her head and glanced at Yu Qian first, then looked through the fan at the audience below the stage, and whispered, "I want to drink water. I haven't had a drop of water since this morning..."

The couple, one wanted to drift off to sleep, and the other wanted to drink water.

It's true, birds of a feather flock together.

Those heartless people in the audience were too busy laughing like idiots.

But others, such as Xu Damao, Yan Jiecheng, and Liu Guangfu, were extremely envious.

Before the wedding ceremony was even over, Huaihua started protecting Yu Qian without any reservations.

Isn't this the kind of person the fat guy mentioned, "who would keep watch for you without hesitation, even if you were to commit a crime"?

Xu Damao turned to look at Qin Jingru, thinking that if he committed a crime, this silly girl would probably go to the police station to report him immediately.

I'm tired again. Let's just destroy it, quickly...

In short, after this incident, Yu Qian was finally no longer nervous.

On the contrary, he spoke a few frank and open words with great enthusiasm, which made everyone look at him with new respect.

Huaihua also chimed in with a few flattering remarks, making the single people in the audience green with envy.

Down in the audience, Yu Li couldn't help but discuss with Chen Yan: "It's quite interesting. I always feel that when we got married, although the wedding was very lively, it was still too formal."

Chen Yan nodded in agreement: "Yes, it's too serious. So serious that it's even a bit rigid."

One of them said "lively," and the other said "serious"—two completely opposite words, yet they used them to describe the same thing.

This puzzled Chen Mengqi: "Mom, Aunt, are you playing a riddle?"

Chen Yan couldn't help but flick her nose: "Your mother is envious of other people's locust flowers!"

Yu Li glared at her angrily: "That's what I meant! And that I envied her?"

Chen Yan felt a little guilty and quickly explained to Chen Mengqi, "What we mean is, although only a few years have passed, it feels like a shackle has been removed. Times are changing, and everyone's thoughts are changing too. This might be a bit deep, so if you don't understand, don't..."

Unexpectedly, Chen Mengqi interrupted her, saying, "I understand. This is what the newspapers mean by emancipating the mind."

Chen Yan's eyes widened, her mouth slightly open, and a look of astonishment appeared on her face.

Good heavens, how old is she?

Leaving aside Chen Yan's surprise, back on the stage, in order to make this wedding a success, it can be considered as accumulating experience in hosting large-scale wedding banquets in advance.

Fatty had already discussed it with Yu Qian and Huaihua; he planned to organize a small challenge at the wedding.

Yes, it's a game challenge about the tacit understanding between the two of them.
