Cheng Guangxu felt wonderful all day, and suddenly the line of poetry came to mind: "When one's name is on the list of successful candidates in the imperial examination, it is the wedding night."

Looking at Cheng Guangxu, who was grinning foolishly, Zhang Hongmei was genuinely happy for him.

I hope that my friends and family will have a happy ending.

All that's left is Cai Peilin, and I've listened to Wang Ying's advice. This guy's requirements aren't actually that high, but I don't have anyone like that around me.

Let Wang Ying figure something out. I wonder if the girl she mentioned will be suitable? The wedding day arrived amidst Cheng Guangxu's anticipation.

The weather was lovely. Zhang Hongmei had originally planned for Er Ya to wait at home while Cheng Guangxi came to pick her up, but the older women were all against this. The old lady, in particular, felt it wouldn't be good for Zhang Hongmei and might bother her, so she wanted Er Ya to go to her own home.

However, Er Ya felt that weddings these days are just a formality, and there was no need to hold any ceremony; it was just a meal for the family.

Li Cuihua shared the same idea. Since there were no outsiders present, it would be easier to hold a small ceremony at the new house.

So everyone, even the two children, Liu Jingsong and Liu Pengfei, set off together for Cheng Guangxu's house.

Gu Chuanming and Zhang Xingguo didn't go out today; they all went together. Zhang Shouyi was able to arrive around lunchtime, but Zhang Hongmei couldn't show up.

In rural areas, pregnant women are not allowed to meet with the bride, as it is considered bad for both parties, but no one can explain exactly why.

So Zhang Hongmei had Su Chen and Han Mei with her, and Aunt Yang and the others were in charge of cooking at home. Zhang Shouyi also sent six guards to protect Zhang Hongmei at home.

Bored beyond measure, Zhang Hongmei picked up her pen and began writing a script. Imagining their wedding, she penned a romantic love story.

Zhang Shouyi returned just after lunch.

"Brother Zhang, why are you up so early?"

"I just said a few words of blessing and then came back to have dinner with my wife."

"Hehe, you don't think I'm afraid of being alone, do you?"

"That's right, I'm worried about leaving my wife alone at home."

"My husband is still the best."

This was the first time Zhang Shouyi had addressed her so intimately while Zhang Hongmei was conscious. Overwhelmed with emotion, he hugged her tightly and wouldn't let go.

"Wife, did you think of me? How could you be so good to me? I wish I could stay with you for even a moment longer."

Zhang Hongmei was puzzled. What had she done? Why was Zhang Shouyi so agitated?

Today, it was just the two of them having dinner, and Zhang Shouyi personally served Zhang Hongmei the meal.

"Brother Zhang, I'm flattered by your kindness!"

"Nonsense, if I weren't worried about making you feel embarrassed, I would want to serve you like this at every meal."

"That won't do. Once or twice is fun, but I can't handle it if it happens too often."

After dinner, Zhang Shouyi put his arm around his wife and slowly walked back to their room. Only after his wife had fallen asleep did he get up and go to work.

In the afternoon, the three elderly people, including the old lady, and Liu Jingsong returned together.

Zhang Hongmei was still asleep, so the others went back to rest.

When Zhang Hongmei woke up, Aunt Li and her husband, Hu Aifen, Liu Maocai and his family, and Zhuzi had also returned. It was best to leave it to the young couple at this time.

Li Cuihua's complexion is much better than when she first came to the capital. She takes Dr. Sun's medicine every day and feels that she is healthier than before.

"Cuihua, you've been relieved of another debt."

“That’s right, sister-in-law. Children are a debt.”

Wang Xiaoshun vividly described the details of today's wedding to Zhang Hongmei, especially the scene where Cheng Guangxu promised everyone that he would treat Er Ya well for the rest of his life.

This made Zhang Hongmei burst into laughter. Cheng Guangxu had a knack for making everyone happy; even at such a solemn moment, he could bring a touch of humor.

"Okay, stop laughing, or your stomach will feel uncomfortable."

The old lady glared at Wang Xiaoshun and quickly stopped Zhang Hongmei from laughing.

"Mmm, I'm not laughing anymore."

"Third Uncle, Third Aunt, Cheng Guangxu is really a good person. We've gotten to know each other quite well. He'll definitely treat Second Sister well."

"Yes, Guangxu is a good boy. I can rest assured about Erya's future."

"Third Aunt, don't worry, I'm here. I'll never forget the two pairs of socks that Sister Er Ya gave me, or the times she scolded me every time she helped me cook."

"I'll only feel at ease if you sisters can get along well."

"Don't worry, Third Aunt."

"I'll call home tomorrow and ask my mom to come over as soon as possible to arrange a marriage between Zhuzi and Hanmei. We'll hold the wedding at the end of the year when we get home. That way, my mom will be at ease."

"Hehe, Brother Zhu has been anxious for a long time."

Zhu Zi blushed and didn't say anything, but his face was full of smiles.

Zhang Shouyi came home a little late today. Looking at his wife, even with her big belly, he still thought she was the most beautiful.

Previously, it was partly because of her appearance, but now it's because of her status—his wife, with whom he will die in the same grave.

After washing up, I hold my wife in my arms. No matter how tired or stressed I am, this is the most peaceful and happiest moment.

The next day, Cheng Guangxu drove Er Ya over. Although there was no traditional third-day homecoming ceremony, it was still normal for him to visit his parents-in-law today.

Zhang Hongmei watched the two people walking towards her from afar, and it seemed as if she could see the sweet pink glow between them.

Wang Ying and Zeng Zhongkang arrived shortly afterward, and the whole family gathered for a lively celebration.

"Cai Peilin must be stuck somewhere, why hasn't he come back yet?"

"There are too many things going on over there. He called back yesterday and apologized for not being able to attend your wedding. It's my fault, since he's the only single one, while you all have families. So he'll have to step up in any future situations."

"When will he come back?" Cheng Guangxu was quite concerned about him. They had been together for more than four years, and their brotherhood was very deep.

"Normally, it should be the day after tomorrow!"

"That's good. I was really afraid he wouldn't want to come back."

After lunch, Er Ya and her husband went home, not wanting to delay the young couple from nurturing their relationship.

"Wang Ying, does the service company have any houses registered for sale? Brother Zhu needs to buy a house."

"There are a few places, all in decent locations, but the houses are quite old."

"Alright, do you have time this afternoon to take Uncle, Aunt, and Brother Zhu to have a look?"

"Okay, I'm free this afternoon, Auntie, shall we go take a look?"

“Yes, Wang Ying is the most straightforward. We bought it as soon as we saw it. Zhu Zi’s grandma and parents will come by train the day after tomorrow. We just need to trouble the principal to help us buy sleeper tickets. My mother gets carsick. If it weren’t for her grandson, she would never have come.”
