The Li family was busy, and no one noticed that Sister Zhao was talking with foam on her lips.

The evening feast was very sumptuous, with twenty tables in total. All the adults and children in the village came to take advantage of this rare opportunity to improve their living conditions.

The courtyard was extremely lively. Li Mantun led Xingyuan to toast at each table, and everyone was talking.

After the meal, those who helped clean up and deal with the ingredients for tomorrow before they all left.

The next morning, before daybreak, two four-wheeled vehicles from the village, tied with big red flowers, and carrying the relatives selected by the in-laws' family, He Xingyuan, set out to pick up the bride.

The bride is usually received by close relatives, preferably one with both sons and daughters, to seek a good omen.

Li Mancang, Wu Zhiqiu, Li Xiu, and Zhao Dahe naturally followed.

Everything went smoothly. My parents' family brought a lot of dowry, including a bicycle, a sewing machine, a radio, a watch, bedding, a washbasin, a thermos, an enamel basin... and a few pieces of furniture. More than ten people from my parents' family also came, and the two four-wheeled vehicles were full.

As the four-wheeled vehicle entered the village, firecrackers blasted non-stop, and a group of children ran after the vehicle, shouting, "Here comes the bride, here comes the bride!"

Master Bai, the sponsor of the firecrackers, was standing on the wall waiting to see the bride.

This grand display made everyone present very envious. Any girl with such a large dowry must be a working couple in the city, and also a family that loves the girl. Ordinary families in the village don't have as much dowry as this one.

Xingyuan helped the bride Xu Lingling out of the car with a silly smile. Xu Lingling was wearing a new military uniform with a red flower on her chest, two long braids neatly braided, and light makeup on her face.

Xingyuan also wore a new military uniform, and the two of them looked particularly well-matched.

Those who had gossiped with Zhao's wife yesterday all poked her and asked, "Why didn't we see that we were stupid?"

"She looks normal and you can tell from her words. Any girl who brings so many dowries must be a little crazy." Sister Zhao couldn't accept that Liu Cuihua married such a beautiful daughter-in-law. She was jealous to death of such a large dowry.

Zhao Na was watching the fun nearby and heard these words. She walked towards the old ladies with an expressionless face.

Sister Zhao...she didn't even look at it, but someone heard it.

Several old ladies also shrank their necks. If Liu Cuihua knew about this, they would definitely be embarrassed in public.

"We are talking about others, gossiping about other people's homes," several people explained dryly.

Zhao Na also knew the seriousness of the matter and could not let the bride's family see a joke, so she warned them quietly, "If you dare to say bad things about my second sister-in-law again, you will not be punished today!"

The biggest thing in the village today is the greenhouse. All the villagers are counting on it. Those who have no money don't expect to grow crops in the greenhouse for free, but it's fine if they can just do the work. They will be paid, and everyone will have a job this winter.

The old women all shrank back and dared not say a word. Sister Zhao couldn't stand up either. Her family had to follow suit. Who could resist money?

Liu Cuihua had been waiting at the door for a long time, and there were knowledgeable people in the village who helped to preside over the process.

Xu Lingling held the wedding basin and Liu Cuihua happily took it, which also represented that the husband's family officially accepted the bride as a member of the family.

Liu Cuihua handed over the red envelope in her hand, which was the bride’s gift when she got off the car.
