The Xiao family's wedding procession was also quite large, including relatives, comrades-in-arms, childhood friends, and commune cadres and factory directors from the food and textile factories who came specifically to attend the wedding. There were several cars in total, making the scale of the wedding quite unique at the time.

The village chief and village party secretary were in charge of receiving the leaders, while Xiao Yuheng eagerly went to Gu An'an's door.

"An'an, I'm here."

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" Zhou Yue imitated him, her voice sneer, and the group behind Xiao Yuheng also shouted.

Xiao Yuheng thought he would see his wife as soon as he arrived, but he didn't expect this. However, he had never been afraid of enemy knives, so how could he back down at a time like this?

"Come and marry a wife."

"Whom should I marry?"

"Gu An'an".

A deep voice came through the door, and only at this moment did Gu An'an truly feel that she was getting married.

"Now for the first question: When did you fall in love with him?"

"First time meeting."

The image of their first meeting flashed through Xiao Yuheng's mind, and a smile involuntarily spread across his lips.

Zhou Yue winked at Gu An'an and lowered her voice, saying, "You're very charming."

Wang Xiaojuan was also very excited and asked the second question as quickly as possible, "What quality do you like most about An'an?"

"Courageous and strong."

If she weren't brave enough, how could she have dared to confront those people under such circumstances?

That's just how people are. It's hard to say whether resistance will succeed, but if you don't resist, you'll always be stuck in the same predicament.

He has never been someone who cares about looks. If he hadn't happened to meet this weak but defiant person that day, it's hard to say what their relationship would be now.

Wang Xiaojuan retorted to Gu An'an, "Brother Xiao is indeed different from others. Anyone else would definitely say he's beautiful."

While they were talking, Zhou Yue had already let the person in, but the person was still blocking the way in front.

"Besides love, physical fitness is also the most important factor in marriage. Now, the third challenge is one hundred push-ups."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone gave Xiao Yuheng a large space to speak.

Xiao Yuheng didn't say much, and bent down to teach using a template.

To make his movements easier, he took off his coat, revealing the sweater that Gu An'an had prepared for him, and rolled up the sleeves high.

Looking at his strong forearms, taut legs, and the veins on his neck, Gu An'an would have liked to touch them if there weren't so many people around.

The saying "food and sex are human nature" certainly has some truth to it.

Xiao Yuheng was very fast; a hundred push-ups were a piece of cake for him. Seeing Xiao Yuheng take two steps closer to her, Gu An'an quickly shook her head to clear her mind of the yellow-colored nonsense.

"The last item is to find the bride's wedding shoes."

Xiao Yuheng was eager to bring Gu An'an home, but he encountered one obstacle after another.

However, looking at Gu An'an's smiling face, he had no bad thoughts at all and obediently did as he was told.

After scanning the room, he identified several places where the shoes were likely to be hidden. As his eyes fell on each spot, Xiao Yuheng kept an eye on the people inside.

Gu An'an has strong mental fortitude; her expression didn't change at all, but others might not be so.

Especially the two mainstays of the shoe-collecting team, their eyes said it all.

Seizing the opening, Xiao Yuheng swiftly made his move, grabbing both shoes in his hands.

Zhou Yue looked at Wang Xiaojuan and asked, "Did you help him cheat?"

Wang Xiaojuan shook her head, "If I were helping him cheat, what would I be hiding?"

“Our leader is a former reconnaissance soldier. If he can’t even find a pair of shoes, he’s doomed.”

"Comrades, are there any other tests? If not, we'll be taking the bride away now."

Zhou Yue and Wang Xiaojuan exchanged a glance, both feeling a sense of loss. They had racked their brains to hide those two shoes, but they were so inconspicuous. It seems that being too capable is not always a good thing.

"Today's test is over, but if you ever dare to treat An'an badly in the future, we will definitely come to settle the score with you."

As she spoke, tears began to fall from Zhou Yue's eyes.

On such a joyous occasion, one should not cry. As soon as the tears welled up in her eyes, she wiped them away.

"Don't worry, I won't give you that chance."

Xiao Yuheng spoke solemnly, and then, amidst the cheers of the crowd, walked up to Gu An'an and looked at her with deep affection.

"An'an, I've come to take you home."

As soon as she uttered the words "go home," Gu An'an felt a lump in her throat for no apparent reason.

Whether in her original world or here, although she is strong and capable enough, she still longs for a strong shoulder to lean on and a home of her own to return to.

As soon as Xiao Yuheng helped her put on her shoes, Gu An'an stood up and said, "Let's go home."

As soon as the two stepped out of the room, the area outside was already crowded with people. Seeing the two standing together, the phrase "a match made in heaven" popped into their minds.

Gu An'an is charming and beautiful, and Xiao Yuheng is handsome and dashing; they should be together.

Since Gu An'an had no parents, the two of them offered Uncle Li and Aunt Li a cup of tea, thanked the guests who had come from afar, and, like everyone else, made a declaration that was in line with the times before preparing to leave.

“Young man from the Xiao family, you’d better treat Gu Zhiqing well, or we won’t care whether you’re half a villager or not.”

"Yes! You should treat Gu Zhiqing well. It's not easy for her, a young woman, to come here. We can't bully her."

"Gu Zhiqing, will you come back?"

......

Hearing these reluctant farewells and plea for her to stay, Gu An'an felt that everything she had done in Xiaowang Village was worthwhile.

"Don't worry, I will come back. This is my second home."

Xiao Yuheng reiterated, "I will."

Although the road had been cleared, it was still somewhat slippery, so Xu Zhi, the experienced driver, drove very slowly.

"Sister-in-law, you are very popular in the village."

Which village doesn't have educated youth getting married? But which educated youth wedding has such a scene? The courtyard was packed, and those who couldn't squeeze in were waiting on the road, breathing out warm air and stamping their feet.

"Of course, my wife is the best."
