Traveling to the 60s with a Matchmaker System

An older single woman, equipped with a Matchmaker System, transmigrates to a rural village in the 1960s.

Through her efforts, she eventually finds happiness. The story is full of daily mundan...

Chapter 27: Marriage

In fact, Li Hongru did not mean this, but it was not wrong to understand it this way. He tacitly agreed with Zhang Weifang's statement.

"Weifang, do you have anything else to buy? Let's buy it all at once today."

"No, everything is almost ready."

Li Hongru saw that everything was ready and took the opportunity to ask:

"So when are we going to get our marriage license?"

"Uh, you decide. I'm fine with anything."

Finally, the two got their marriage certificate on September 9. Looking at the marriage certificate in her hand, which looked like an award certificate, Zhang Weifang was filled with emotion. She was really getting married.

Li Hongru looked at the marriage certificate over and over again, and finally he believed that he had finally married the girl he loved.

In order to leave behind beautiful memories, the two of them went to a photo studio to take two black and white photos, one one inch and one two inches. The total cost was 1.2 yuan, which was very expensive.

Everyone says that they will be nervous before getting married, but Zhang Weifang didn't feel that way at all. She felt like getting married had nothing to do with her. Everything that needed to be prepared had been bought at home, and she just counted the days at home every day.

The two people could not meet before marriage, so Li Hongru did not come to see her. Li Hongru was almost busy going crazy, always feeling that this was inappropriate and that was wrong, and he kept changing his mind every day.

Li Guifang and Ma Shulan were disappointed with him and didn't care about him. They let him arrange everything. Only Li Hongqin helped clean the house.

They still have to be at home on the wedding day and then go back to their own home a few days later.

Looking at Li Hongru who was busy running around, Li Hongqin couldn't help but ask:

"Third brother, you spent a lot of money on your wedding this time, didn't you?"

"It's okay. I don't want to wrong your sister-in-law."

"Third brother, you are already better than many people. Not everyone in the city can compare to you."

"Of course I will. I will do my best."

Li Hongqin had an indescribable feeling in her heart, a little envious and a little confused. Although she felt that her third sister-in-law liked her third brother so much, it was reasonable for her third brother to make more efforts, but she also felt that her third brother was going too far.

"Third brother, don't you think you are a bit too high-profile?" Li Hongqin kindly reminded him. After all, everyone in the family is dissatisfied with Li Hongru.

"Hongqin, people only get married once in their lifetime, so it's not excessive to be a bit high-profile."

Since getting the marriage certificate, Zhang Weifang’s mission was completed and the points were quickly credited to her account.

"Ding Dong, host, mission completed. The total points are 850. After deducting 150 points for the loan, there are 600 points left. Congratulations to the host for successfully completing the first mission."

"I have points now. Come on, I want to redeem something. By the way, Qiqi, do you have space?"

"My stomach is space, but it can only hold dead things."

"Can I use it?"

"Host, yes, you can buy the things and I will keep them for you."

Zhang Weifang first bought two sets of underwear, as well as necessities such as sanitary napkins, shampoo, soap, skin care products, and sunscreen, spending a total of 50 points.

Zhang Weifang didn't dare spend the remaining points carelessly, for she was afraid they would be of great use in the future.

Zhang Weifang didn't dare leave these things outside, so he let the Yue Lao system swallow them in one gulp.

Time soon came to the day before Zhang Weifang's wedding. On that day, her second uncle and aunt also came, as well as her aunt who married far away and her family.

Because we live far away from each other, brothers and sisters sometimes only see each other once a year, so they cherish the opportunity to meet each other.

Her second uncle's family sent a quilt, a mattress, and some cloth. Zhang Qiao Na wanted to give them money, but they refused.

Among his brothers and sisters, Zhang Jiuling had the best conditions, so he was more generous to his eldest brother's family.

Zhang Jiuchang from Heilongjiang Province was also in a difficult situation. He mailed back a bunch of dried mushrooms and dried black fungus as gifts.

These things are very common in Northeast China, but they are rarely seen in Le'an County. Moreover, the fungus in Northeast China is thick and flavorful, and everyone likes to eat it.

My aunt's family is just an ordinary farming family, so they only gave 5 yuan, which was a big gift.

The next day, before dawn, the yard became bustling with people who came to help wash vegetables and clear away dishes.

Breakfast is a vegetable soup with a bowl of sorghum bean cake. Sorghum cannot be eaten as a meal, so very little of it is planted in the fields. People only make some sorghum cakes during the Chinese New Year or weddings.

If you have the means, you can add some red dates to the yellow rice cake, while ordinary people can just put some red beans in it. The resulting taste is sticky, glutinous, and sweet, and it is very delicious.

There will be a table for lunch, and there will be a special chef for weddings and funerals to prepare the dishes, four cold dishes and four hot dishes, all of which are delicious.

Some hard candies will also be placed on the table to let everyone share in the joy.

The gift money at that time was not much, mostly 20 cents, and those with close relationships would give 50 cents or one dollar. Some people even gave cloth, shoes, eggs, and all kinds of things.

After the meal, everyone will help wash the dishes and deal with the debris, and the host will give the leftover food to those who helped.

In short, a wedding is a lively and troublesome day.

After getting up and changing clothes in the morning, Zhang Weifang waited for the matchmaker to come and put on her makeup. Her makeup was very simple, just red lips, and everything was kept simple and plain.

At around 9 o'clock, the groom came to pick up the bride on a bicycle. In addition to the bride, there were four relatives who brought the dowry to the groom's house.

The village's donkey cart was also borrowed. A big red flower was tied on the little donkey's head, and the bride's dowry was placed on the donkey cart.

When the groom arrived, he brought two people to pick him up. They also drove a donkey cart to accommodate the bride's relatives.

There is also a gong and drum team walking along the way, playing festive music and joyful sounds.

In such a warm atmosphere, Zhang Weifang was carried out of the house by the groom. The moment she left the house, her eyes were red.

Although she has only been here for a short time, the kindness shown to her by Zhang's parents has been engraved in her heart. As she prepares for a new life, Zhang Weifang feels both anticipation and worry.

Zhang Weishuang had long felt unable to control himself, and Zhang Qiaona also began to wipe away her tears.

Li Hongru seemed to be able to sense her mood. He turned his head and gently comforted her:

"Weifang, don't worry, I will treat you well."

Zhang Weifang nodded, suppressed the bad emotions in her heart, and looked forward to her future life.

It was a bit boring along the way, so Zhang Weifang pulled out the system to chat:

"Qiqi, I'm getting married today."

"Host, congratulations."

"Qiqi, as my closest friend, shouldn't you give me a wedding present?"

"Host, I have no experience in this area before. I will apply to the Lord God System."

Ten minutes later, the Yue Lao system came back with a big grin on its face, looking very happy.

"Host, the Lord God has agreed to give you a 10% discount on purchases within three days of your wedding. You can go to the mall and take a look yourself when you have time."

"Okay, Qiqi, thank you." Zhang Weifang planned to buy more things in the next few days. He finally had an opportunity.
