After finally managing to appease her father and mother, Lin Yu's wedding day arrived.
That day, just as dawn was breaking, Lin Yu was woken up.
"Why so early!" Lin Yu felt like she was about to get grumpy in the morning.
Shen Zhinian placed a towel soaked in cold water on her face, and Lin Yubing was jolted awake.
Looking at the room filled with red, she realized that today was her wedding day...
Shen Zhinian urged her to get up: "Hurry up and change your clothes, you also need to do your hair and put on makeup..."
She read out the plans one by one, leaving Lin Yu completely bewildered.
Getting married involves so many procedures; it must be exhausting.
But no matter how much she complained, she dared not resist and could only follow along step by step.
First, she changed into her red wedding dress, then sat in front of the mirror to get her hair done.
Grandma Lin is very skillful. She often did the hair of brides when she was in the brigade, let alone her own granddaughter.
She styled Lin Yu's hair into a bun and inserted hair ornaments, creating a very elaborate but gorgeous look.
The rest was makeup. Lin Yu refused to let them do her makeup, which made her face look as red as a monkey's bottom, and did it herself.
First, apply a layer of foundation that matches your skin tone to even out your complexion, then apply it to your eyebrows, eyes, nose, and cheeks.
The final result is a festive and beautiful bridal makeup look.
When Song Meili came over, she saw her and said, "Next time, please do my makeup too, but it doesn't have to be so red."
Lin Yu nodded in agreement, "I'll teach you next time."
Lin Wen and Lin Jing linked arms with Lin Yu and said, "We want some too."
........
With a burst of firecrackers, Lin Yu heard someone outside shout, "The groom is here!"
She sat on the bed, surrounded by several close girlfriends, feeling inexplicably nervous.
Ou Manqing patted her shoulder and whispered in her ear, "Don't be nervous, it's just a wedding."
Hearing her say that, Lin Yu burst out laughing.
Exactly! It's just a wedding, what's the big deal?
Of all the things she's done before, which one wasn't riskier than getting married?
Besides, Gu Yunze and she had known each other for many years, so what did she have to be afraid of?
Song Meili held her hand and said, "Don't worry, you still have us."
She smiled and shook his hand in return: "Yes, I know."
Then, seeing that the groom was about to arrive, the sisters quickly went out to block the door.
Gu Yunze's best man was an acquaintance of theirs, Lu Yunfeng.
Now they were even less polite.
First, the groom and best man did push-ups, then the questions were asked.
Song Meili playfully asked, "May I ask, what is Xiaoyu's birthday?"
When was the first time you met?
Who is the head of the household after marriage?
"........"
Gu Yunze's answer satisfied the bridesmaids, and they were finally allowed to leave.
He quickly ran into the room.
Upon seeing Lin Yu, dressed in a wedding gown and beautifully made up, sitting on the bed, Gu Yunze suddenly froze, unsure which foot to step with.
Seeing his state, Lu Yunfeng gave him a push from behind: "Hurry up and go up."
Gu Yunze almost fell, staggering two steps before Lin Yu reached out to support him.
Lin Yu sensed that he was nervous, so she laughed and patted his arm, whispering in his ear, "Don't be nervous."
The hot breath he exhaled made his ears instantly turn red. Lin Yu watched his reaction with amusement, thinking to herself that this guy was really easy to embarrass.
Gu Yunze swallowed hard, squatted down in front of her, and said, "Xiaoyu, I've come to marry you."
Lin Yu smiled and offered him her hand: "Mm."
Gu Yunze picked her up and left, his steps seemingly impatient.
The two got into a military vehicle and left.
The banquet was held in the military family compound.
Gu Yunze arranged a car for the Lin family, and they would go with them to the family compound to attend the wedding.
Knowing that her family and friends were right behind her, Lin Yu felt relieved.
Gu Yunze, however, seemed even more nervous than her, and was quite restless while sitting in the car.
Using her skirt as a cover, Lin Yu intertwined her fingers with his underneath, which eased his emotions.
As the car entered the residential compound, Lin Yu saw many curious yet kind eyes through the window.
Gu Yunze introduced them to her, saying, "These are all neighbors from the family compound, don't be afraid."
Lin Yu nodded: "Yes, will they all come to the wedding?"
Gu Yunze shook his head and said, "There is limited space at home, so we only invited a few close relatives and colleagues. Most of them are my father's subordinates and peers."
Lin Yu then understood that not being invited didn't mean they had a bad relationship; it just meant they weren't that close.
Those who are invited are people who are truly close to you and have a vested interest in you.
To impress her, Gu Yunze added, "I've already sent someone to pick up Grandpa."
Lin Yu knew he meant well, and smiled as she said thank you.
After Shen Zhinian returned, she and her family visited her maternal grandfather, but their contact was not very close afterward.
Lin Yu knew that her mother still had a grudge against her maternal grandfather.
But this time it's her wedding, and she hopes that all her relatives can be there.
So after consulting with Shen Zhinian, Lin Yu still sent an invitation to her maternal grandfather.
Lin Yu is very satisfied that Gu Yunze is now willing to take the initiative to bring his grandfather over.
Gu Yunze knew he had done the right thing just by looking at Lin Yu's expression, and he felt smug.
At that moment, he felt less nervous.
When the car arrived at the Gu family's house, Gu Yunze got out of the car first, and then reached out to hold Lin Yu's hand.
As the two stepped into the courtyard, they saw a group of military wives waiting for them at the gate.
Lin Yu smiled and greeted everyone one by one, following Gu Yunze.
Only after being subjected to the scrutiny of the military wives were they sent to their new home.
After the two left, Li Huizhu's close neighbor said, "Your daughter-in-law is really beautiful."
"Exactly! They're a perfect match."
Li Huizhu smiled so hard her eyes narrowed. Her only son had finally gotten married, and she felt sweeter than if she had eaten honey.
He gave each person who spoke kindly a handful of candy, saying, "Sweeten your mouth."
The group was overjoyed to receive the candy, and compliments poured out of their mouths like they were free.
Lin Yu could hear them praising her even from inside the house.
She wasn't usually shy, but she was simply caught up in the joyful atmosphere and felt wonderful.
Soon, the voices of the Lin family could be heard outside again.
Lin Yu also heard Gu Yunze outside the door telling her that her grandfather had arrived.
She responded and looked around. The room was also decorated in red, but she didn't find it tacky at all; on the contrary, she thought it was very beautiful.
After a while, Lin Wen, Lin Jing, Song Meili, and Ou Manqing entered the new room.
Song Meili told Lin Yu, "We're afraid you'll be lonely, so we'll stay here with you for now."
Lin Yu nudged her with her elbow and asked, "Has Zhou Huanan arrived yet?"
