Cheng Maixiang and Lin Jiayu looked at each other, both of them were quite surprised. The people in the house quickly got up and went to the yard to greet them.

Secretary Song saw the two dazzling people and said with a smile, "Comrade Xiao Cheng is so beautiful today. I almost didn't recognize her."

Then he patted Lin Jiayu's shoulder and said, "Our Comrade Xiao Lin is also handsome. This is a true match made in heaven, a pair that everyone envy."

Secretary Fang, who was standing beside Secretary Song, handed a red envelope to Lin Jiayu. Lin Jiayu quickly declined, "We're honored that Secretary Song can attend our wedding. How can we accept money from him?"

Secretary Song waved his hand. "It's not much money, just fifty cents, just a token of my appreciation. You two shouldn't feel burdened. Support each other after marriage, work hard, and live a good life."

"Okay, we will definitely live up to Secretary Song's expectations of us."

Cheng Maixiang said loudly and accepted the red envelope from Secretary Fang with a smile on her face.

Secretary Song smiled and nodded. "Okay, I guess you guys are busy today, so I won't stay and cause you any more trouble. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Cheng Maixiang and Lin Jiayu tried to persuade him to stay, but Secretary Song smiled and waved his hand. "If I stay here, everyone will feel constrained. It's better for me to leave. Besides, I do have a job. If you feel bad about it, just give me some candy so I can share in the newlyweds' joy."

Zhou Minqi, who was beside Lin Jiayu, quickly handed the remaining dozens of White Rabbit candies to Secretary Song. Secretary Song was about to decline when Cheng Maixiang smiled and said, "Secretary Song, these candies aren't just for you. They're from the two of us, giving to the entire Linwen County leadership to thank them for their support of Shuangshui Village."

After hearing what she said, Secretary Song nodded and let Secretary Fang take it. After a few polite words, he said goodbye and left.

As soon as Secretary Song left, Zhou Minqi called out to the group of young men who had come with Lin Jiayu to welcome the bride, "Let's go, take the bride and groom to the county town for a walk, and then come back for the feast."

These young men were all in their twenties and were the type of people who were eager to get involved. When they heard him say that, they couldn't help but cheer in unison and pushed their bicycles over, ready to set off.

Seeing this, Ruan Peiling rushed over, holding Qiaomai and Yingying's hands. She pushed Zhou Minqi away and said to him rudely, "Go share a bike with someone else. This bike has been requisitioned by the three of us."

Zhou Minqi watched Ruan Peiling unceremoniously carry Yingying and Qiaomai onto the front beam of the bicycle and said in dissatisfaction, "With so many people here, why are you trying to steal my bike?"

"Among so many people, Aunt Ruan only knows you. If she doesn't take yours, whose will she take?" Qiao Mai said righteously, as if Ruan Peiling took his bicycle because she thought highly of him.

"That's right. A person of your age is still not as smart as a little girl. It's really worrying." Ruan Peiling winked at Qiaomai proudly. The two of them high-fived to celebrate. Yingying covered her mouth and laughed secretly.

Zhou Minqi was stunned, unable to think of any retort. He had no choice but to give the bike to the three of them. Just as he was about to find someone else to share a bike, he turned around and saw the three boys from the Cheng family looking at Qiaomai and Yingying with envy. Remembering Lin Jiayu's instructions to him, he hurriedly said to them, "Love your country, love the army, love the people. Your uncle said that the three of you should come and play with us."

Aijun and Aimin cheered and went to find a young man they liked to take them in. The young man also liked these young children very much and immediately carried them into the car.

Although Aiguo's eyes showed anticipation, he still glanced towards Cheng's mother and said hesitantly, "I still have to help grandma light the fire and cook."

Cheng's mother said with a smile, "Grandma has invited a lot of people today, so there's no need for you to help. Go play with your brothers and sisters, and remember to keep an eye on them."

"I understand, grandma." Aiguo agreed happily and went to find a bicycle to take him.

Seeing that everyone was ready, Lin Jiayu immediately shouted to the team to set off, and then rode his bike forward with Cheng Maixiang.

The group followed Lin Jiayu on their bikes along the dirt road in Shuangshui Village. Seeing many children peering in from the road, Zhou Minqi called out, "Anyone who wants to join us, get on the bike!"

Many children clapped and cheered, and jumped onto the bicycles. Some children even grabbed the cyclists and climbed onto the bicycles' frames, and there was constant laughter and joy.

The bicycle under Lin Jiayu was the betrothal gift he gave to Cheng Maixiang. On the front beam of the brand new and beautiful bicycle, there was a beautiful bride sitting and a handsome groom riding the bicycle. Passers-by who saw it thought the scene was very pleasing to the eyes. In addition, there were more than 20 bicycles following closely behind them, and the crowds of people in front and behind made it even more eye-catching.

Although today is the 16th day of the first lunar month, the weather is unusually sunny and warm. Although Cheng Maixiang is wearing thin cotton pants inside, she is wearing a skirt outside. If it were an ordinary day, she would definitely feel cold on the bicycle, but today she feels warm all over.

Cheng Maixiang had ridden Lin Jiayu's bicycle countless times, but this was the first time she sat on the front beam of the bike. She gently held her hands in Lin Jiayu's big hands, her back pressed tightly against his chest, and her whole body was tightly wrapped in his arms, feeling indescribably warm and safe.

"Are you cold?" Lin Jiayu lowered his head and asked softly.

Cheng Maixiang listened to his magnetic voice, and her ears turned red from the hot breath from his mouth. She shook her head quickly.

"No wonder fortune tellers say today is the best day of the year. It's true. It is indeed the best day." Lin Jiayu laughed heartily, then quickened his pace and the car flew out in a flash.

A warm breeze blew towards her. Cheng Maixiang looked at the trees and street scenes that were rapidly receding on both sides and felt that she was not on a bicycle at all, but in a cool sports car.
