Early in the morning, as soon as the sky turned a little pale, Cheng Jiawen couldn't wait to get out of bed.
He rubbed his eyes gently, then quickly put on the clothes he had prepared long ago. After washing up, he combed his hair carefully in front of the mirror, every movement filled with anticipation and joy.
His eyes sparkled with excitement, and a faint smile hung on the corners of his mouth. Today was the most important day in his life, and he wanted to greet his bride in the most perfect image.
As time went by, the sky gradually brightened. Cheng Jiawen looked at himself one last time and nodded with satisfaction.
"Fourth brother, are you ready? Come out and have breakfast. After that we'll go pick up the bride." Cheng's mother shouted Cheng Jiawen's name loudly in the yard, urging him constantly.
"I'm coming, I'm coming." Cheng Jiawen straightened his collar and checked himself in the mirror again. After confirming that everything was correct, he walked into the yard.
He picked up the breakfast prepared by Cheng's mother and ate it quickly. Then, a group of his brothers came to the door.
"Fourth brother, we are here~" A tall and thin man said as he walked into the yard while pushing a bicycle.
There were several people following behind him, all pushing bicycles. "Four of us, bicycles, we're all ready."
Cheng Jiawen looked at the four bicycles in front of him, a hint of satisfaction flashed across his eyes. He patted Gu Wu's shoulder and whispered, "Thanks, brother."
Gu Wu waved his hand, "Well, Fourth Brother, you are still being polite to us."
Cheng Jiawen raised the corner of his mouth slightly and took out the red flowers, red cloth, red lanterns and wedding characters that he had prepared in advance from the room. "Come, help me hang them up."
"Okay~" Everyone responded and began to work together. Some people went to hang lanterns, some people went to paste wedding characters, and some people went to hang red flowers. Everyone was happy and busy.
Here, Cheng's mother was busy in the kitchen with her eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law and several aunts. Early this morning, Xu's mother asked someone to send over a lot of pig offal, saying that she wanted to add a dish to the wedding.
Of course, Cheng's mother did not refuse. She had only prepared two pounds of lean meat and was planning to have only one meat dish at noon, and the rest would be vegetarian. Who knew that Xu's mother, in order to make her daughter's wedding grand, asked someone to send so much pig offal early in the morning.
Although it was not real pork, it was the first portion of so much pork offal. Everyone could eat their fill, and this banquet was already very prestigious.
After preparing everything, Cheng Jiawen and his brothers prepared to set off for Xu's house.
He was wearing a simple Zhongshan suit, with a happy face as he rode a bicycle decorated with red flowers and led a wedding procession composed of relatives and friends, laughing and joking all the way to Xu's house.
When they arrived at Xu's house, Cheng Jiawen excitedly rang his bicycle bell.
When the bridesmaids in the room heard the noise, they started to make a fuss. Led by Qin Guizhi, several sisters from the same village went out to block the door.
Qin Guizhi looked at the high-spirited man in front of her, nodded secretly in her heart, and then said loudly: "Cheng Jiawen, it's not so easy to marry our Jiaojiao."
"Then how can we open the door?" Gu Wu asked loudly from the side.
Qin Guizhi laughed heartily, then spoke out her lines loudly, "I've searched for him a thousand times, so a red envelope won't delay me. We're so close, and without a red envelope, nothing can be done."
"Okay." Cheng Jiawen smiled and took out a few red envelopes from his pocket and handed them to Qin Guizhi.
Qin Guizhi took the red envelope and did not embarrass him anymore. She just smiled and said, "It is your blessing to marry our Jiaojiao. I hope you can treat her well. Otherwise, we will not forgive you."
"Of course I will. I will always treat her well, love her, protect her, and never let her suffer any grievances." Cheng Jiawen said loudly and solemnly towards the door.
After he said this, all the sisters opened the door and stopped trying to stop him. Now, they really envied Xu Qianjiao. She had parents who loved and spoiled her, and now she had a husband who loved her. How could she be so lucky that all good things happened to her?
Xu Qianjiao heard Cheng Jiawen's affectionate confession in the room, and tears flashed in her eyes. She smiled and was looking forward to Cheng Jiawen coming in.
Cheng Jiawen strode into the room and saw Xu Qianjiao sitting on the bed at first sight. She was wearing a white sweater, black pants, and a beautiful red coat on the outside. She had a bun on her head and light makeup on her face. She looked really beautiful.
He was stunned and stood there in a daze. Xu Qian smiled shyly, "Why don't you come over?"
Cheng Jiawen finally reacted. A happy smile appeared on his face. He walked to Xu Qianjiao and picked her up.
Xu Qianjiao was startled by his actions, "Ah, put me down, I can walk by myself."
"No, I'll carry you out, my princess." Cheng Jiawen looked at her lovingly and said affectionately.
Xu Qian lowered her head shyly, leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Thank you for your hard work, my knight."
When everyone saw Cheng Jiawen carrying Xu Qianjiao out, they couldn't help but cheer, "Oh, good job, Fourth Brother, you finally got the beauty."
Accompanied by cheers, Xu Qianjiao went out. Cheng Jiawen carried Xu Qianjiao to the main room, where Xu's father and mother were sitting there waiting for them.
Cheng Jiawen put Xu Qianjiao down, and the two held hands and stood in front of Xu's father and mother. Cheng Jiawen held Xu Qianjiao's hand and promised them solemnly, "Uncle, aunt, please rest assured and leave Jiaojiao to me. I swear, I will treat her well with my life and will never let her down or betray her."
Father and Mother Xu looked at the perfect couple in front of them and couldn't help but shed tears. Mother Xu suppressed her reluctance and nodded with tears in her eyes, "Okay, we believe you, Jiaojiao. This will always be your home. Your parents are always here. You can come back anytime."
"Dad, Mom, Jiaojiao knows, you have to take good care of yourselves."
"Don't worry, okay, it's getting late, let's go out." Xu's mother wiped her tears and said with a forced smile.
"Dad, Mom, don't worry, I will do what I say." Cheng Jiawen took Xu Qianjiao and bowed to them, then carried her out. Xu's father and mother looked at the door reluctantly, with tears in their eyes, but they didn't say anything else.
Here, Cheng Jiawen was riding a bicycle decorated with red flowers with a happy face. His beautiful bride, Xu Qianjiao, was sitting on the back seat. He set off with a group of brothers, beating drums and gongs.
The team passed through the village road, and people stuck their heads out with smiles of blessing on their faces.
Arriving at the Cheng family's house, the first thing she saw was the big red lanterns hanging at the door and the wedding characters pasted on the door. Amid the lively sound of firecrackers, Xu Qianjiao was welcomed into the Cheng family's gate.
