On July 23, Sheng Xiping and his driver drove to the forest farm and picked up Sheng Liancheng and his wife, along with their children, and took them to Songjianghe.

On the morning of July 24th, the Sheng family, along with Chen Feng and Chen Yue, boarded a train, first to Tonghua, and then transferred to the capital.

Meanwhile, Sheng Xi'an and his wife, along with Sheng Yunfang, also traveled from Harbin and Shanghai to the capital.

As for Wu Yucheng and Sheng Yunfei, they had already flown back to the capital to prepare for their wedding.

It just so happened that Sheng Xitai was also on summer vacation, so the whole family gathered in the capital.

When a girl gets married, her family may not prepare anything else, but they must prepare several sets of bedding and blankets.

When Sheng Yunfei got engaged, Zhang Shuzhen bought a lot of things in the capital, including quilt covers and such.

After returning to the forest farm, Zhang Shuzhen asked Xu Xiuxiang, Li Yuqin, Zhao Chunlan and others to help make four beds and four covers.

Since there were many of us traveling to the capital, we packed up our bedding and brought it with us.

After arriving in the capital, Zhang Shuzhen, accompanied by Zhou Qinglan and Wu Yuhua, went to a shopping mall and bought a pair of red leather suitcases, as well as curtains, bed sheets, duvet covers, and some small items necessary for the wedding.

The children had never been to the capital before, and they were curious about everything.

Since they arrived early and had plenty of time, the Sheng Xiping brothers took the children around.

The children watched the flag-raising ceremony, visited the Forbidden City, climbed the Great Wall, and ate Peking duck and other dishes. They all had a great time.

Needless to say, Sheng Xiping's camera had taken countless rolls of film.

On July 30th, Sheng Lianqiu, Sheng Lianqing, and Zhang Shouguo, along with their wives, arrived in the capital.

When Sheng Yunfei got married, her parents couldn't attend the wedding, so a few elders had to be present to make the occasion.

Upon learning that the Sheng family's relatives had arrived, the Wu family specially prepared a banquet, inviting everyone from the Sheng family to gather together and review the wedding day's procedures to avoid any mistakes.

The two families got together and had a pleasant meal. Wu Bingzhong also drank some wine with Sheng Lianqiu and Zhang Shouguo.

At the banquet, Wu Bingzhong and his brother praised Sheng Xiping and his brothers extensively, making Sheng Lianqiu and the others very happy and proud.

The fact that the Sheng family has produced such outstanding descendants is truly a blessing from their ancestors.

After dinner, the group returned to Sheng Xikang's house to rest.

The two-courtyard house of Sheng Xikang was quite large, with about ten rooms, all of which were neatly arranged.

There are many people coming, so there are enough rooms, but there aren't enough bedding.

Fortunately, even in the sweltering summer, blankets wouldn't be enough to cover you up, and you can just throw on some clothes at night without any problem.

In the evening, Sheng Liancheng stayed in the same room with his younger brother and brother-in-law. The old brothers rarely got together, and they chatted until midnight before going to sleep.

On July 31st, everyone went through the wedding procedures and prepared everything again. They made dumplings that night and didn't rest until midnight.
