Therefore, they were just as concerned about Li Xiangdong's marriage as Li Jin and Zhao Sufang were.

When they told their relatives and friends that Li Xiangdong and Ning Ruoruo were getting married, no one was surprised.

Their only shared feeling was that the two of them were finally married!

I thought these two were going to be in love for a lifetime!

The wedding date was an auspicious day that Grandma Jiang found after searching through countless almanacs; the date was set for the ninth day of the ninth lunar month.

After a flurry of preparations, on the seventh day of the ninth lunar month, the entire village of Lijiapo was brightly decorated and bustling with activity.

Li Jin and Zhao Sufang, dressed in their newly custom-made clothes, greeted their relatives and friends who came to give them money as a token of their appreciation.

Li Lan and Bai Yulong, Li Ying and Hong Shui, Li Zhen and Liu Junbo, and Zhou Hongsong and Qiao Xiaohuan were also present, all helping their parents arrange their younger brother's wedding.

Others, such as Yu Deshui, Feng Yucai, Fang Shilan, Chen Zaohua, Tu Si, Xu Yunfeng, Xu Yunsong, Xu Yunhai, Cui Xinni, Niu Santiao, Daoba, Maizi, Gao Dacheng, Deng Xianglin, Zhou Hongmei, Wu Jianjun, and Jin Deji, also came from all over the country and gathered in Lijiapo.

Since Li Xiangdong's home was too small to accommodate everyone, he arranged for them to stay at a hotel in Lijiapo, covering all their food and lodging expenses.

Ning Ruoruo doesn't have a maternal family, but she has a good relationship with Liu Yuliang's family, so she moved into Liu's house directly this time. Two days later, Li Xiangdong will come to Liu's house to pick up the bride.

It was 4 a.m. on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month.

The wind was getting a bit chilly, but it couldn't dampen the lively atmosphere of the wedding.

On the newly cleaned door of Li Xiangdong's house, there were bright red double happiness characters and couplets.

The couplet reads:

Today, we are blessed with a perfect union, as if bound by the red thread of fate.

May we grow old together in the future, our love as fragrant as osmanthus and orchid.

These two lines of large characters are vigorous and powerful, with the brushstrokes flowing like water.

Two large red lanterns hung above the door, casting a warm red light, their yellow tassels swaying in the autumn breeze.

The group of people escorted Li Xiangdong, who was wearing a brand-new suit, out the door and headed straight for Liu Yuliang's house.

Today, Liu Yuliang and his wife are playing the role of parents, and they have been busy decorating the house since early on, just like when their daughter is getting married.

Even before Li Xiangdong and his group arrived, there were already people waiting for them on the only road they could take.

As soon as the man saw Li Xiangdong and his group approaching in a grand procession, he immediately turned tail and ran back.

Guo Yuxi, with her sharp eyes, immediately recognized that it was Liu Yuliang's youngest son.

"Hey hey hey~ Erdan, why are you running away~"

Erdan said as he ran, "I have to go back and lock the gate~ Of course I have to run~"

He ran and talked, afraid that Guo Yuxi would catch up with him and prevent him from going back to inform her.

Guo Yuxi burst into laughter, and the others couldn't help but chuckle as well.

Li Xiangdong, beaming with joy, then asked Gui Yuhe beside him with concern, "Have you prepared all the red envelopes?"

Gui Yuhe chuckled and patted his bulging pocket, "That could knock Erdan unconscious!"

Sure enough, when Li Xiangdong and his group arrived at Liu Yuliang's house, the gate was already tightly closed.

On the wall of Liu Yuliang's house, there were still quite a few teenagers sitting, all looking at Li Xiangdong and his group with smiles.

Guo Yuxi knew the proper etiquette, so she strode forward, knocked on the door, and shouted, "The wedding party is here! Open the door quickly!"

As he spoke, he slipped a large red envelope through the crack in the door.

The person inside took the large red envelope and immediately and deftly opened it.

Then came a gasp of shock, "One hundred yuan!"

The red envelopes that Guo Yuxi slipped in actually contained 100 yuan each!

Even though everyone is rich now, who would be willing to stuff a hundred-yuan bill into the red envelopes for the wedding procession?

After all, there's no set number of red envelopes to be distributed!

The people inside were instantly enraged by the large red envelope containing a hundred yuan, and now they slammed the door shut even tighter...

Even the teenagers who were originally watching the commotion from the top of the wall came down and joined the army blocking the gate.

Guo Yuxi quickly stuffed all the red envelopes in his pockets, and Li Guoqing and Gui Yuhe hurriedly took over. Zhao Xiaojun, Li Xiangjie, Li Jiabao, Li Xiangchao and others took the opportunity to rush forward and, taking advantage of the moment when the people inside opened the door to take out the large red envelopes, they smashed the door open in one fell swoop.

"Ouch~"

"Don't push, don't push!"

Hahaha~

The people inside the door were knocked over and thrown about, but even then they couldn't bear to let go of the red envelopes in their hands.

Surrounded by the crowd, Li Xiangdong strode in and went straight into the inner room.

Today, Ning Ruoruo is wearing a dragon and phoenix wedding gown that Li Xiangdong specially commissioned for her in Suzhou. It is made of pure mulberry silk and embroidered with gold thread. The whole outfit cost 100,000 yuan.

The short jacket she wore was perfectly tailored, outlining Ning Ruoruo's slender figure. The bottom was a wide skirt, with lifelike golden dragons, phoenixes, and fairy herbs embroidered on red silk. The twelve panels of the skirt were laid flat on the kang (a heated brick bed), like bright and dazzling flower petals, and Ning Ruoruo was like a beautiful flower stamen, sitting gracefully in the middle.

Li Xiangdong held the tiger-head jasmine in his hands, his hands trembling with nervousness. He even walked into the house with his hands and feet moving in unison.

The subsequent wedding procession was very lively.

Everyone was urging Li Xiangdong to perform, but Guo Yuxi and Zhao Xiaojun, as best men, stepped in, saying, "We'll do it, we'll do it—"

Without any hesitation, the two of them started singing "Walk Away in Style" at the top of their lungs.

The vastness of heaven and earth

Passing by in a hurry

The tide rises and falls.

grudges and grievances

Life and death, growing old together

How many people can see through it?

The mortal world is turbulent.
