While undergoing a heavenly tribulation, Jian Ning was struck dead by a sudden bolt of lightning amplified a thousandfold.
In her final moments, a fragment of her soul fled with her celestial...
"You've come back this time just to hold your wedding? The second floor is all renovated. Xiao Ning, go up and see if you like it. I've also made two sets of bedding. Everything is ready."
"You can pick a good day and hold your wedding." At this, Aunt Wang stopped crying and pulled Jian Ning upstairs.
When I went upstairs, I found that a lot of extra furniture had been added to the room, and even the ceiling lights had been replaced.
The room was decorated very warmly, with a bright red wedding quilt on the double bed, probably to keep dust away. Aunt Wang had also covered it with a layer of transparent plastic sheeting.
"It's fine, but this TV is unnecessary, and there's no signal right now."
“Your brother specially went to the mall to bring this over, along with a computer, saying that if you connect them together, you can watch stored movies and play songs.”
Xiao Ning, see if there's anything you're missing. I'll have Ling Feng find a way to get it for you. Our Xiao family will do our best to give you a satisfactory wedding. Even though it's a special time, we can't just do a shoddy job.
What should we do about this banquet?
There wasn't much food available.
On this point, Aunt Wang was somewhat worried.
A wedding banquet should ideally include several tables of guests to create a lively atmosphere, but given the current situation, food is scarce.
There's not much that can be grown in the land. If we deplete all our food reserves because of the wedding, how will we survive?
"Mom, we've prepared everything we need for the wedding this time."
They also got a lot of supplies, including food. Enough for the banquet.” Xiao Lingfeng knew what his mother was worried about, so he quickly reassured her. He added, “I also got a lot of supplies, including food. Enough for the banquet.”
"That's good, that's good. My son always thinks things through." Aunt Wang finally felt relieved.
"Actually, keeping it simple is fine, there's no need to make too much of a fuss. Ling Feng, don't you have to go back to the army? Send the things back first, we can discuss the wedding later."
Jian Ning knew that Xiao Lingfeng still had important matters to attend to, so she urged him to go back quickly.
"Okay, I'll be going now, Mom. When I get back tonight, let's treat Jian and his family to dinner. Let's sit down and discuss it properly. I have to go now."
"Drive carefully."
Although Aunt Wang was very reluctant to see her son leave so soon after their meeting, he had official business to attend to, so she couldn't stop him. She escorted him all the way to the villa and watched him walk away before returning.
"Xiao Ning, did you eat anything on the way? I'll go make you something."
"No need, I'll go back and rest for a bit. I've put the meat and seafood in the kitchen. I'll come back and help you when I wake up."
While Aunt Wang was out, Jian Ning put a lot of fruits and vegetables into the kitchen, not to mention meat and seafood.
"No need for you, I'll start packing now. You should go to sleep; you must be exhausted from the journey."
It's no secret that Jian Ning and Xiao Lingfeng now have space to store supplies.
So Aunt Wang wasn't surprised at all. She quickly went to the kitchen and tidied everything up, preparing what she would need for the evening.
We need at least eight dishes; there are quite a few people from both families combined, and besides, today is an auspicious day. We need to choose a lucky number.
Jian Ning went straight to her room on the second floor after getting home. She flopped onto the bed and fell asleep immediately. She didn't get up until after 3 p.m.
I spotted Huang Fugui sitting on the carpet at a glance.
"What are you doing here? Aren't you going out to play?"
"No, I'm not going. You're getting married soon, what kind of gift should I give you?" Huang Fugui asked, tilting his head and looking worried.
"You don't need to bring gifts, Fugui. Your presence by my side is the best gift!" Jian Ning had barely finished speaking when Huang Fugui transformed into his original form and threw himself into her arms.
"Meow meow meow, Master, you're so kind! Even though you don't want it, I can't refuse. How about we go out for a walk? Maybe I'll find some extra treasures."
"You little rascal, are you tired of staying at home? Want to go out for a stroll? You're good at making excuses. Tomorrow, I'll take you out for a walk." Jian Ning knew that once she left,
Keeping it at home would be boring, and playing with it with Tian Tian would just be keeping the child entertained, since Huang Fugui isn't really a child. It's naturally free-spirited and still yearns for the outside world.
I glanced at my watch; it was getting late. I went downstairs and told Aunt Li that we'd all be having dinner at Xiao Lingfeng's house that evening. Then I opened the door and went outside. It wasn't raining, but the sky was still overcast.
Dark clouds obscured the sun. The ground was covered in moisture.
I don't know when this rainy season will end; it's just too damp. She prefers winter; although it's cold, the climate is dry, so it doesn't prevent her from going out.
When they arrived at Xiao Lingfeng's house, they saw Tian Tian helping out in the kitchen. This little girl is really sensible now. She works very efficiently, so she must have helped out in the kitchen a lot at home.
"Hello, Auntie! Grandma said I can't call you 'sister' anymore!" As soon as she saw Jian Ning come in, she immediately smiled and shouted loudly.
"Isn't it a bit much to change how you address me so soon?" Jian Ning felt a little embarrassed by the way she called her "little aunt."
"Let the child get used to it first. Calling her 'sister' all the time makes it seem like they're from a different generation. Are you rested enough? There's no need to rush over. I've prepared all the dishes."
Aunt Wang is cooking at her best today. There are pork bones and braised pork hocks simmering in the pot, and the seafood is all washed and steaming. Right now, she's chopping filling to make four-happiness meatballs.
"It's okay, I'm not that tired. Ling Feng flew the plane this time, I can't fly it myself." Jian Ning washed her hands and came over to help. Washing vegetables and fruits was no problem for her.
"Xiao Ning, Ling Feng is so lucky to have you marry into our family. When he was in the army, I kept urging him to find a partner, but he just wasn't in a hurry."
He said our time wasn't meant to be. Now that I'm able to marry you, I'm truly overjoyed. Thank goodness he didn't listen to me back then, otherwise we would have ruined your wonderful marriage.
Aunt Wang sighed, realizing that fate is truly unpredictable.
When the apocalypse came, she thought Xiao Lingfeng might never get married in his life, but she never expected such a pleasant surprise. Moreover, Jian Ning, her daughter-in-law, far exceeded her expectations.
Those with good conditions in all aspects need no further selection.
"Perhaps this is destiny!" Jian Ning also felt that her fate with Xiao Lingfeng was quite mysterious. Could it be that she came across time and space for Xiao Lingfeng? After all, the only two people in this world who are related to the cultivation world are the two of them.
She wondered if, if she had the chance to go back, Xiao Lingfeng from that world would integrate his memories from this life. If that day ever came, things would be incredibly chaotic. Of course, this was just a thought in Jian Ning's mind.
