The sixth day of the first lunar month in 1976 is an auspicious day, suitable for marriage, travel, marriage matching, engagement, making alliances, breaking ground, praying for blessings, moving, moving to a new house, breaking ground, raising the roof beam, and holding a religious ceremony; it is inauspicious for burial and offering sacrifices.

Xu Mingyang and Kuang Meizhu got up early in the morning to get their marriage certificate.

All the meat used for the wedding was naturally taken from Xu Xinning's space. Of course, she was still the behind-the-scenes boss, while Mu Jingheng was the one who came forward.

Mu Jingheng not only brought all kinds of meat, but also a lot of rice and flour. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the two of them took out as much stuff as they could. It was all thanks to the Mu family knowing that the Xu family was having a happy occasion that they managed to get these things for them.

The people of Xujia Village don't know exactly what kind of family the Mu family is, but they all know that they are high-ranking officials. So, when a family with high-ranking officials helps them get some supplies, the villagers don't have any bad thoughts. At most, they just feel envious, and a very small number of them secretly feel jealous.

Whether it's envy or jealousy, they genuinely want to maintain a good relationship with the Xu family.

Putting aside other things, if they have a happy occasion in their family, they can easily ask someone to get them some meat or something.

There was a red woolen coat in the supplies space, which probably meant that the Empress Dowager was thinking that it would be useful for weddings in this era.

It must be said that the Empress Dowager is truly well-prepared; it seems she has thought of everything.

The supplies space even has everything a baby needs.

This will be perfect for Xu Mingyang and Kuang Meizhu's wedding, and of course, it will also be useful for Xu Xinning, who will be getting married soon.

As dawn broke, older women came to help. Originally, it was Aunt Quanfu who would help with combing hair, facial hair removal, and makeup, but that's no longer fashionable in this modern era.

However, people in the countryside believe in these things, so they just symbolically comb their hair a few times, do some facial threading and makeup, and that's it.

Kuang Meizhu has striking features; her nose is straight. She is not a beauty in the traditional sense, but she has a heroic air about her. In addition, she is 1.68 meters tall, and she looks very well-matched with Xu Mingyang, who is over 1.8 meters tall.

Kuang Meizhu was wearing a red wool coat that Xu Xinning had given her, black pants, and black cotton shoes. Her hair was styled into double fishtail braids by Xu Xinning, and she had light makeup on. Dressed like this, she looked like a movie star who had stepped out of a magazine.

Xu Mingyang was wearing a brand-new military uniform and a pair of slightly worn military boots.

The two of them dressed like this, and standing together, they really dazzled everyone.

Especially these aunts and grandmothers.

"Tsk tsk tsk, clothes really do make the man! How come he looks so good after all this styling?"

"Mingyang's wife's hair is braided so beautifully."

"It was knitted by their daughter, Ningning."

"Oh my! Dr. Xu, you're really skilled."

"Those who have seen the world are different."

"I don't know how it was written. I must ask Dr. Xu for advice next time."

"What, you want to get married again?"

Everyone burst into laughter.

"You can't make things up if you're not married, but can't I make things up for my partner?"

"Your husband probably prefers you naked in bed."

Another burst of laughter erupted.

"Does your husband dislike you being naked in bed?"

Now the topic has veered towards colored countries.

Grandma Xu urged the two to hurry up and eat breakfast so they could go to the commune to get their marriage certificate.

Grandma Xu urged them on, but seemed worried that the two of them hadn't eaten enough, so she cooked about ten boiled eggs in sweet soup for them, and also steamed some buns and dumplings.

Fortunately, people in this era have a big appetite. Xu Mingyang and Kuang Meizhu did not disappoint Old Madam Xu's wishes and ate everything that Old Madam Xu had prepared.

Surrounded by the crowd, Xu Mingyang and Kuang Meizhu rode away on their bicycles.

Since the eldest and second branches of the Xu family had severed ties, the eldest branch naturally did not invite the second branch to their wedding, including Xu Yaoyang, who was injured and at home.

The old man from the second branch of the family stood on a high place watching the commotion at the first branch's house. No one knew what he was thinking. He just stared at it expressionlessly like a stone statue. Then he saw Xu Mingyang being surrounded and pushed out on a bicycle.

At this moment, Xu Mingyang was completely different from the old man's impression of him. He was much stronger and seemed to smile more. He didn't know if it was his imagination, but he felt that Xu Mingyang seemed to be a little taller than before.

In fact, the second wife, Old Man Xu, had high hopes for Xu Mingyang, as can be seen from Xu Mingyang's name.

The character “明” represents brightness, clarity, and wisdom, while the character “阳” symbolizes sunrise, clear skies, growth, and the sun, brightness, and warmth. Combined, the name Mingyang signifies a learned scholar, intelligence, foresight, righteousness, integrity, and vigor.

Old Master Xu of the second wife put a lot of effort into this name, but he didn't put much thought into Xu Yaoyang's name.

But people's hearts are always biased. After having Xu Yaoyang, he forgot how much he cared for Xu Mingyang in the first place.

Nevertheless, Old Man Xu had to admit that Xu Mingyang had always been more outstanding than Xu Yaoyang since childhood.

Now that Xu Yaoyang has become like this, Old Man Xu keeps thinking about all the good things about Xu Mingyang.

This should have been his son!

How could such an outstanding son not be his biological son?

Xu Mingyang was sensitive; he always felt like he was being watched, but then he thought about it and it wasn't strange. Today, he and Kuang Meizhu were the main characters, so it was normal for them to be stared at.

Xu Mingyang turned around and smiled at Kuang Meizhu. His wife was really beautiful!

Watching Xu Mingyang and Kuang Meizhu walk away, Mu Jingheng was also imagining his own wedding.

It'll be soon!

It'll be soon!

There's less than a month left.

Time was passing so slowly; he longed for today to be his wedding day with Xu Xinning!

However, seeing the occasional panic on Xu Mingyang's usually composed face, Mu Jingheng was relieved to have this wedding as a lesson. He promised that he wouldn't be as clueless as Xu Mingyang when he got married.

Xu Xinning saw that Xu Mingyang and the others had already gone far away. As she turned around, she inadvertently saw a person standing on a high ground in the distance. She had excellent eyesight and could tell at a glance that it was her great-uncle. She really couldn't understand how her two wise ancestors could have raised such a dark son. Perhaps it was because he was the youngest son that he was spoiled too much, or perhaps this person's heart was inherently dark.

Getting married in this era was still very simple, unlike the extravagant celebrations of later generations. It was already 1976, and the policies were much more relaxed compared to the previous years. Otherwise, even the banquet might have been scaled back again and again. If people found out that the Xu family was so lavish, they might have been invited to be reprimanded.

Xu Mingyang and Kuang Meizhu returned around noon.

After obtaining their marriage certificate, the two went to a state-run photo studio to take pictures.

Perhaps it was an auspicious day, as there were a lot of people taking wedding photos today. They waited a long time before it was their turn, so they came back a bit late.
