Chapter 710 Wan Anlang's Wedding

The meeting with Wan Anlang's in-laws went smoothly. Meng Huanhuan's parents were quite open-minded and didn't have any demands. They just hoped that Wan Anlang would treat their daughter well. So, the two sides decided on an auspicious day on the spot.

November 7th.

Chen Qing and He Yuan started preparing for Wan Anlang's wedding well in advance. Since they were considered Wan Anlang's family, they helped buy all sorts of things on November 5th.

Zhang Dongfei also came to help.

Some people decorate their houses in a festive manner.

Wan Anlang only invited people for two tables, while Meng Huanhuan's parents invited people for four tables, making a total of six tables. They watched as these kids swore an oath in front of the leaders to become steadfast revolutionary partners.

Watching Wan Anlang's wedding, He Yuan suddenly felt a pang of regret.

He and Chen Qing were too busy to hold a wedding.

Turning his head to look at Chen Qing, whose hands were clasped together and whose eyes were full of smiles as he gazed at the newlyweds, He Yuan felt a pang of guilt: "Do you want to have a wedding ceremony again?"

According to Chen Qing's understanding, it seems that in Guangdong Province, it is not popular to hold a wedding ceremony later. People either hold a wedding directly or at the baby's one-month celebration. They don't wait until the child is seven or eight years old before thinking about the wedding.

"No, we don't usually have weddings here. Our kids are almost a year old, why think about it so much? Let's think about how to celebrate their first birthday. Should we do the traditional 'grasping ceremony'? What should we prepare for them?"

"I'll see when the time comes," He Yuan said absentmindedly.

Chen Qing nudged his arm: "What's wrong? Stop overthinking things. Not having a wedding is a decision we made together. Don't act like it's all your fault. Besides, if we don't have one now, we can wait until our 20th wedding anniversary, or our golden or silver wedding anniversary. Wouldn't it be more interesting to have a house full of children and grandchildren and a bunch of relatives then?"

"yes."

He Yuan secretly took her hand, drawing a sense of security from it.

He just felt that Chen Qing was so good, but he hadn't done enough.

Chen Qing felt that weddings were pretty good now. After lunch, the bride and groom could rest, and the other guests could go home. It was really great.

She and He Yuan strolled home slowly, while Xiao Yu chattered away with her brother ahead of them.

He Yuan leaned closer and whispered to her, "Chen Qing, am I the person who loves you the most in the whole world?"

Yes~

Chen Qing replied in a drawn-out tone.

He Yuan: "Be serious!"

Chen Qing: "Yes! Comrade He Yuan is the person I, Chen Qing, love most in this world, without exception!"

He Yuan was slightly satisfied: "It's alright, but you can only love me!"

"I know."

Chen Qing felt that He Yuan had been brainwashing her since marriage, saying that she could only love him.

A materialist kept instilling metaphysical ideas in her.

They said that people who can stay together for life are very lucky, while those who cheat are not so lucky, and so on and so forth.

Chen Qing always listened patiently, and when asked questions, she would answer them without getting tired of them.

Ultimately, Chen Qing could sense that He Yuan loved her very much, which was why she was so generous with her words in response, hoping to put his mind at ease.

Xiao Yu and He Yuxiang in front are discussing their younger siblings' first birthday.

Pingping and Youyou will be one year old on December 3rd.

He Yuxiang said, "You'll put on a show for them then. Mao Mao will sing, you'll perform martial arts, I'll be the host, Ai Jiao Hu will be funny, Yang Yihe will paint, and if Wang Wenming comes, he can perform with his dog. Prepare plenty of food for the day, and there will also be a baby's first birthday celebration."

Xiaoyu: "I'm going to perform three acts. I can sing, I can do martial arts, and I can also perform archery!"

He Yuxiang: "Okay, you perform three acts. I need to think about who to invite that day."

He counted the number of people and started planning what to eat, drink, and do.

Xiaoyu gradually ran out of things to talk about with her brother and went to her aunt to talk about the beautiful bride.

"Auntie, Huanhuan looks so beautiful today."

"Yes."

Is a girl most beautiful when she becomes a bride?

"No, you can feel most beautiful when you do something great. If you win the championship you've always dreamed of someday, that day will definitely be the most beautiful day of your life. But for brides, it's the day most of us girls dress up the most."

"Oh, I see. Auntie's most beautiful day hasn't come yet. Auntie, I'll definitely be even more amazing in the future."

"Oh my god, my Xiaoyu is so good at talking." Chen Qing looked at He Yuan, "You should learn from her."

He Yuan: "I will try my best."

I probably won't achieve that in my lifetime.

It's really difficult to spontaneously offer compliments.

The family of four returned home. Pingping and Youyou were walking hand in hand. When the two siblings saw their parents and older siblings return, they quickened their pace.

The four of them stepped forward and squatted down to catch Pingping and Youyou steadily.

Xiaoyu hugged her younger brother and taught him to say, "Sister, sister..."

Her younger siblings are currently in the stage of learning to speak, and she takes them very seriously.

Youyou can now vaguely say "Papa" and "Mama," which always surprises Chen Qing and He Yuan.

The moment a child calls out "Dad" or "Mom," it truly feels like a gift has arrived.

Youyou has called him "brother" before, but never "sister".

Xiaoyu was heartbroken because Pingping had called out to her father, mother, brother, and sister, even though it was only a few words very occasionally. But at least she had called them out. However, Youyou had called out to her father, mother, and brother, but not her sister!

Xiaoyu was very upset, and whenever she had the chance, she would make Youyou call her: "Sister, sister, Youyou, call me sister."

Youyou wriggled her little body, wanting to leave.

Xiaoyu snorted angrily, her eyes reddening, "You've gone too far! You didn't even call me! You're bullying me!"

Youyou stared blankly at her sister, then quickly patted her to comfort her.

Xiaoyu was still very sad: "Don't you dislike me the most? How come you don't call me 'sister'!"

He Yuxiang: "He might not want to call her Pingping."

Pingping blinked her clear, innocent eyes at everyone.

Xiaoyu carried Youyou back to her room, temporarily separating herself from her younger sister, and asked Youyou to call her "older sister".

Youyou looked at her older sister Xiaoyu, who was staring at her expectantly, and called out in a childish voice, "Sister... Sister..."

"Waaaaah, you finally called me!" Xiaoyu was overjoyed.

The sunset was ablaze with color, incredibly vibrant and beautiful. Xiao Yu rode her bicycle through the alleyways, sharing with acquaintances, "My little brother can call me 'sister' now! He's only eleven months old, and he can already say 'daddy,' 'mommy,' 'brother,' and 'sister.' It's amazing! And the way he calls me is so sweet!"

The adults looked at Xiaoyu and thought she was really sweet.
