Song Ci stretched out her hand and compared it. It was about three fingers thick. She said to Han Zhan, "Auntie gave Beibei a compensation for changing her name. It must be 20,000, right?" This money was all earned by Li's mother from her hard work of killing fish. It was all hard-earned money.
"Should be." Han Zhan looked at the harmonious family of three on the stage and said, "Auntie is a very kind person and knows how to respect others. Su Beibei and Li Li should have a harmonious life after their marriage."
"That's right."
On the stage, Li's mother was invited to sit on a mahogany chair, while Li Li was speaking while holding a piece of paper filled with words of thanks.
"I'm deeply honored that you all took the time out of your busy schedules to attend my wedding with Su Beibei. I'd like to express my gratitude to everyone present. I'd also like to express my gratitude to those friends who were unable to attend the wedding due to work. Thank you for your thoughtfulness, even if you couldn't come in person."
"While I was reading my thank-you speech, the phone in my pocket vibrated several times. I guess someone is sending me a red envelope!" Li Li is very talkative and speaks in a witty and humorous way, which makes people laugh.
He squeezed Su Beibei's hand, and recalling their fate, he still found it incredible. "I won't tell you in detail about my love affair with Ms. Su Beibei. It would probably take a whole day and night to finish."
"But there is one thing I must tell everyone: I love my wife, Ms. Su Beibei, very much. Meeting her is the greatest blessing in my life. Beibei, thank you for being in my life, for falling in love with me, and for giving me the family I've always dreamed of."
"The best thing I've ever done in my life was opening XX Bookstore one sleepless night, seeing Colonel Beibei's book, and spending 50,000 yuan to become Colonel Beibei's fan. 50,000 yuan to bring home a wife, that's a good deal!"
Upon hearing this, the guests couldn't help but burst into laughter, and even Su Beibei herself laughed so hard that her shoulders shook. "On this special occasion, I also want to thank a mysterious and kind person. Without his years of support, there would be no outstanding Li Li before you."
"Thank you, mysterious and kind-hearted man."
The kind-hearted Han Zhan was sitting in the audience. He just smiled and said nothing when he heard this, keeping his achievements and fame to himself.
After thanking everyone he needed to thank, Li Li turned around and looked at his mother, who was only in her early fifties but looked like she was in her sixties.
At this special moment, looking at the woman who has dedicated half her life to him, Li Li's heart, no matter how cold and hard it was, became soft.
"Everyone only sees Li Li's excellence, but no one sees you, smiling as you slaughter fish for customers even when your hands are covered in frostbite on a snowy day. I, Li Li, am where I am today thanks to you."
"Mom." Li Li held up Li's mother's hands.
Those hands were left with black scars due to frostbite from years of winter.
Looking at his mother's hand, covered in old wounds, Li Li's vision suddenly blurred. "Mom, from today on, there will be another woman who loves me just like you do. Mom, you promised me that you will live the rest of your life for yourself. Your son has grown up and can support you."
Upon hearing this, Li's mother burst into tears on the spot.
Li Li also lowered his head, resting his forehead against the back of Li Mu's hand, crying so hard that he couldn't straighten his back.
Su Beibei was also moved by this, and she stood aside wiping away tears. The emcee quickly went on stage to persuade the family. After Li Li and his mother calmed down, the banquet officially began.
Su Beibei was pregnant, so when people toasted, she used tea instead of wine.
The first table they toasted was Han Zhan's. Su Beibei knew that Han Zhan was the kind-hearted person who sponsored Li Li to complete his studies. She knew in her heart that Han Zhan had made an indelible contribution to Li Li's current status.
Su Beibei raised a cup of tea and said to Han Zhan, "Mr. Han, you are our Lili's great benefactor. I should have offered you a glass of wine, but I'm pregnant, so I offered tea instead. Mr. Han, you are a kind person. Good people will always be rewarded, so God sent Song porcelain to you."
"I wish you and Song Ci a happy life together!"
After Su Beibei finished speaking, she took the initiative to drink the cup of tea.
Han Zhan felt very comfortable and happy when he heard Su Beibei's blessing. He picked up the wine glass with both hands and drank it all. "Ms. Su is also very good. It is a blessing for Li Li to marry you."
"If Li Li treats you badly in the future, tell Song Ci and I will beat him up for you."
Li Li stood there with his eyelids twitching. Did they think he was a little kid who deserved a beating?
Su Beibei burst out laughing. "Thank you, Mr. Han."
After the lively wedding, Song Ci and Han Zhan did not attend the evening party. They drove back to the countryside and planned to visit the graves of Song Ci's parents the next morning.
The old house hadn't been lived in for a long time and was covered in dust. Han Zhan and Song Ci cleaned the house themselves, put out clean sheets, and then went to the village to buy some farm vegetables and bacon. They returned home and cooked dinner.
Just as dinner was ready, there was a knock on the courtyard door. Han Zhan put down the dish and asked Song Ci, "Who could it be?"
Song Ci walked out from the dim light. She gave Han Zhan a strange smile and said, "My parents are back."
Han Zhan: “?”
He felt a chill on his back.
Song Ci suddenly smiled mischievously and said, "Song Fei is here." After waking up, Song Fei had not yet visited her parents. "She knew we were going to visit their graves and said she wanted to come with us."
It was a false alarm. Han Zhan shook his head helplessly at Song Ci and said, "Don't scare me again. I'm afraid of ghosts."
"Is this true?"
