Zhou Qingyang and Chen Jie have gone through quite a few ups and downs to get to where they are today.

The Chen family also learned about Zhou Qingyang's previous serious injuries, so they specifically instructed their family members not to make things too difficult for him.

Therefore, the entire wedding procession went very smoothly. Everyone just made harmless jokes, and no one went too far.

The wedding procession stayed at the Chen family's house for about an hour, where they ate a little something as a token gesture.

Then Chen Jie's brother carried his sister, who was dressed in red, on his back and put her on his bicycle outside.

Zhou Qingyang pushed the cart, and Chen Jie sat on the back seat.

The Chen family members who were escorting the bride carried or lifted all the dowry items, which were then placed on the bicycles behind them.

And so, the group left the Chen family home and headed straight for the new house at the corner building.

As soon as Zhou Qingyang and his family left home in the morning, their relatives and friends locked the door of the old house and headed straight for the new house at the corner.

Judging that it was about time, Wang Chunxiu, surrounded by people, went downstairs ahead of schedule.

Sure enough, the wedding procession came over in a lively manner, and they quickly lit firecrackers.

Zhou Qingyang pushed Chen Jie closer, propped up the bicycle, and then helped Chen Jie down.

Chen Jie handed the red enamel basin wrapped in red cloth to Wang Chunxiu.

Then she took out a safflower from the basin, put it on Wang Chunxiu's head, and affectionately called her "Mom."

"Yes, yes." Wang Chunxiu happily agreed, then took out a red envelope and stuffed it into his wife's hand.

Then, surrounded by everyone, the bride and groom went up to their new home on the third floor.

This building is not far from Zhao Yongning's home, and it's not very tall, only four floors at most.

The new apartment is on the third floor, and it's not very big, only about 50 square meters.

The house had been uninhabited since it was cleaned up until last night when Zhou Qingyue and her cousin stayed in the new house, a custom known as "pressing the kang" (a heated brick bed).

The furniture set in the new house was drawn by Sheng Xiping based entirely on the style of "Shanghai" brand furniture.

Zhou Mingyuan found some good wood and hired the best carpenter, who spent half a year making it.

In the master bedroom, a complete set of furniture was not painted. Instead, landscape paintings were branded onto the natural-colored furniture with a soldering iron, and then two layers of clear oil were applied.

Needless to say, the landscape painting was Chen Weimin's work, and it was indeed quite good.

Along the edges of several cabinet doors, diamond-shaped pieces of prickly ash buds were used to create a decorative border, making the furniture appear even more elegant and sophisticated.

This kind of furniture is the first of its kind in the area. Many people were not used to it at first and thought that such plain furniture was not nice for weddings.

But the longer you look at it, the more pleasing it becomes.

Furniture made of natural wood never goes out of style and never looks old.

Unlike those painted red, which look dull and lackluster over time.

Although it's called an apartment building, it's actually the kind where you have to burn firewood for heating yourself.

There was a small boiler at the end of the kitchen, which was connected to the kang (heated brick bed) in the small room to the north. The master bedroom, which faced the sun to the south, had several radiators installed, so a bed was placed there.

There were two quilts on the bed, and under the quilts were dates, peanuts, chestnuts and other things, as well as an axe wrapped in red paper.

The Chen family members who accompanied the bride went upstairs first, and spread half of the four bedding sets and four blankets provided by the Chen family on the bed and put the other half in the cabinet.

Then the girls hung up the curtains, and one of Chen Jie's cousins ​​turned on the desk lamp.

As soon as the newcomers entered the room, Chen Jie, guided by others, stepped onto the bed by the red paper-wrapped headboard and sat down.

Zhou Qingyang followed suit and sat on the bed, which was the newlyweds' "sitting blessing" ceremony.

At this moment, someone carried Sheng Xinyu to the bed and let him roll around on the bed. This is called rolling on the bed or rolling on the kang.

It is usually done by the boy from the father's side, symbolizing the wish for an early birth of a son.

Sheng Xinyu was woken up quite early today, and is now a bit sleepy, so he's being a little lazy.

However, when the little guy saw the red envelope in his aunt's hand, his eyes widened immediately, and he rolled around on the bed several times.

While rolling around on the bed, the kid muttered something under his breath.

"Rolling on the bed, rolling on the bed, may you have many children and grandchildren, may you have a son and a daughter."

This bed is well-made; it promises a long and loving marriage. This bed is so spacious; it's like a mountain of gold and silver.

As he spoke, the little guy went over and shook the pillow a couple of times, saying, "I'll shake this pillow, and I'll have all kinds of wealth and honor."

Then, the little guy lifted the blanket a couple more times, saying, "If I wrap myself in the blanket, life will be even more prosperous."

After this whole thing, everyone in the room was dumbfounded.

It's worth noting that Sheng Xinyu is four years old by the traditional Chinese age reckoning, but he's actually less than two and a half years old.

It's really impressive that such a tiny little guy can remember such a long string of words and express them completely without making a single mistake.

"Oh my god, who taught you this? Xiao Jie, quickly give the child a red envelope, give him an extra one."

"Wow, this little guy is so small, yet he speaks so eloquently. Listen to his smooth talk, it's so captivating!"

When Chen Jie's aunt and grandmother saw this, they were overjoyed and didn't know what to do. They hurriedly told Chen Jie to give them more red envelopes.

Chen Jie had a red envelope in her hand, and she quickly asked the person next to her for two more, then stuffed them both into Sheng Xinyu's hands.

"Xinyu, these red envelopes are all yours. Hold on to them and don't lose them."

Sheng Xinyu didn't stand on ceremony. He stretched out his chubby little hand, took the red envelope, and hugged it tightly to his chest.

"Thank you, Auntie." I don't know what happened to this kid today, he's been so sweet-talking.
