When she learned that her eldest son was getting married, she sorted out the things her mother had left her at home. After all, she had five children and wouldn't favor one over the other. When Lin Yuwei saw the bracelet, she knew it was a sign of Liu Mengmeng's family's approval of her, so she accepted it without hesitation.
The next day, Feng Minghao and Lin Yuwei were going to town to get their marriage certificate. Before they went, Liu Mingfeng told them to go to the police station and tell Zhang Jianjun to come over for dinner that night after they finished their business. He also told them not to forget to ask Zhang Jianjun to bring his family. As for Liu Mingxin, there was no need to tell him, since they were already coming today. Feng Minghao and Lin Yuwei nodded and rode off on a bicycle.
After arriving in town, the two first went to the local government office to get their marriage certificate, and then went to a photo studio to have their pictures taken. They each had a solo photo taken, and then they had a couple photo taken, but they asked the photographer to print two copies of the couple photo.
After doing all this, the two went to the police station and found Zhang Jianjun, who was working there. They told him that they were taking their wife and child to Liu Mingfeng's house for dinner that evening. Zhang Jianjun asked why, and he knew that Feng Minghao and Lin Yuwei were getting married in the next few days. He learned that it was because several people had brought a wild boar down from the mountain the day before, and the villagers had already eaten their fill yesterday; today's dinner was a special invitation for relatives and friends. He agreed, saying that his family would definitely go.
When Feng Minghao and Lin Yuwei went to town, Wu Qiaoqiao led her relatives and friends to decorate Zhao Xiuxiang's house nicely and put the gifts she had prepared for the two of them there, intending to give them a surprise when they returned.
After finding Zhang Jianjun, Feng Minghao and Lin Yuwei didn't rush back. Liu Mengmeng had already told them to have lunch at the state-run restaurant in town. They wanted to see if the restaurant had any fancy dishes for lunch; if so, they'd pack some to take back, knowing the chef there made delicious meat dishes.
As for Liu Mingxin, they didn't need to call her. Liu Mingxin had already taken the day off, so before Feng Minghao and the others even arrived in town, they ran into Liu Mingxin and her husband, along with their two children and her parents-in-law, heading towards Liujia Village.
When Liu Mingxin saw the two men, he found it strange. Weren't they supposed to be having a banquet today? Why were they coming to town? After asking, he learned that the villagers had all had a feast yesterday because they had hunted a wild boar. Today, they were treating their relatives and friends to a nice dinner.
The two groups parted ways. Liu Mingxin took his family to Liujiatun, while Feng Minghao took Lin Yuwei to the town. When Liu Mingxin arrived at Liujiatun, he saw that everyone was heading towards Zhao Xiuxiang's house. Only Feng Mingran was at Liu Mingfeng's house receiving gifts from the villagers that day. Seeing that no one was there, Liu Mingxin left his two children with Tiedan'er and Daya, as well as Dongnan, Xibei, and Zhong, and went to Zhao Xiuxiang's house.
Speaking of the three brothers from the east, south, west, and north, Liu Mingxin admired his second uncle's naming skills. The three brothers from the east, south, and west were the children of his eldest and second cousins. His third uncle's third cousin had twin boys, and when it came to naming them, his third uncle was too lazy to think and simply named one of them Xiangbei (North). The last one was simply named Xiangzhong (Center). It seems that the Liu family doesn't have a very large population.
The eldest cousin of my second uncle's family has two children, the second cousin has a son and a daughter, the third cousin of my third uncle's family has twin sons, and then there is her brother, who is the fourth son of the Liu family, with a son and a daughter. As for her second brother, who is the fifth son, we know that he is a pair of twins, but we don't know the gender yet.
After Feng Minghao and Lin Yuwei finished eating in town and returned, they were taken directly to Zhao Xiuxiang's house.
After being taken to Zhao Xiuxiang's house, they saw her family and Lin Yuwei's family there as soon as they entered, along with Liu Mingxin, her second and third uncles, Liu Mingfeng who was using a cane, and Wu Qiaoqiao. Everyone looked at them as they entered.
After they came in, Liu Mengmeng and Wu Qiaoqiao took Lin Yuwei's hands and led her to one of the rooms, while Feng Minghao was led to another room by Lin Yuyang. As soon as they entered, they saw a red wedding dress on the kang (a heated brick bed) in their respective rooms. When they picked it up, they found that the red wedding dress actually had embroidery on it. However, Lin Yuwei noticed that the embroidery did not look like it was handmade.
Lin Yuwei immediately recognized that it was probably Wu Qiaoqiao who had brought it out. Sure enough, she soon learned from Liu Mengmeng that it was Wu Qiaoqiao who had brought it out, but with a different meaning.
"Weiwei, we can't give you a wedding because of the special circumstances, but we still don't want to leave any regrets. Please change into this dress, and we'll hold a wedding for you with all of us as witnesses."
Liu Mengmeng explained that the reason only these people were mentioned wasn't because she distrusted them, but because she was afraid that if they accidentally let something slip, someone with malicious intent might see it. Spreading rumors outside would bring them no good. After saying this, she left. It might be better for two young women to be together; with her, an elder, present, they would probably feel embarrassed. Seeing Liu Mengmeng leave, Lin Yuwei immediately inquired about Wu Qiaoqiao's situation.
"You brought this out again." She didn't seem embarrassed as she took off her outer clothes and put on the clothes. Wu Qiaoqiao answered her while taking out a set of cosmetics from her space.
"I think I got this from a wedding shop. But I told them I brought it with me when I went to the countryside.
"They just believed it like that? What about the men's clothing?"
“I told them that these were prepared by my grandma before she died, and they were all large ones. By the way, do you know how to use these? They should be different from what you used to be. I certainly don’t know how to use them. We don’t use these things much in the apocalypse.”
Hearing Wu Qiaoqiao's words, Lin Yuwei began to look through the items Wu Qiaoqiao had taken out. Things like eyebrow pencils, face creams, and lipsticks were readily apparent, but Wu Qiaoqiao was holding an eyeshadow palette. Lin Yuwei seemed somewhat bewildered. Although the picture on the box indicated it was for eye makeup, she was surprised to find so many colors. She held the eyeshadow palette, looking at Wu Qiaoqiao.
"Don't look at me, it won't do you any good. I don't know how. If you're interested, I think I have some magazines like that here. If you want, I can show them to you later."
Hearing Wu Qiaoqiao's words, Lin Yuwei nodded and began applying the items to her face. It's true, what girl wouldn't look forward to her wedding? She hadn't had the chance to wear a wedding dress in her past life, and although this one was simple, it was still the best ending for the two of them. So, despite its simplicity, Lin Yuwei was very happy.
After Lin Yuwei finished dressing, Wu Qiaoqiao took out a red veil that matched the outfit and put it on Lin Yuwei's head before helping her out.
