Finally, the eighth day of the first lunar month arrived. The sun shone brightly, dispelling the gloom of the previous few days. Early that morning, Liu Guoxing couldn't wait to change into the black Mao suit Cao Cuilan had meticulously sewn for him. The suit was not only well-cut but also made of comfortable fabric, making Liu Guoxing look particularly energetic.
The most eye-catching item was the black down jacket Liu Yanran had purchased specifically from the Friendship Store. Its stylish design and exceptional warmth kept Liu Guoxing warm even in the cold winter. Furthermore, a vibrant red groom's flower was pinned to the jacket. The festive red color complemented Liu Guoxing's beaming smile, foreshadowing a day filled with joy and happiness.
The wedding's transportation was also quite unique, with a total of six jeeps involved. These vehicles were personally arranged by Liu Yanran, who leveraged her connections to successfully borrow them. It's worth mentioning that Liu Yanran donated 5,000 yuan to the military region during the Lunar New Year holiday as a gesture of support for the troops.
Her only request was to use the buses for her brother's wedding. Thanks to her generous donation, the military district leaders, after a brief discussion, readily agreed to this request. This not only added a sense of majesty and solemnity to Liu Guoxing's wedding motorcade, but also conveyed Liu Yanran's deep love and blessings for her brother.
Of course, Liu Yanran didn't forget to reward the hard-working drivers. In addition to lending them vehicles, she also prepared some gifts for each driver.
Each driver received two packs of cigarettes, a pack of White Rabbit milk candy, a bag of fruit candy and a red envelope containing 8.80 yuan.
This small gesture undoubtedly made the drivers feel deeply satisfied, their smiles and sincere blessings becoming even brighter. After all, no one would refuse the temptation of money, especially on such a special occasion. This kind interaction made the entire wedding atmosphere more harmonious and showcased Liu Yanran's thoughtful and considerate side.
As the Liu family was quite far from the military compound, Liu Guoxing left early in the morning. Accompanying him to pick up the bride were Cao Kun, Gu Shiyuan, and Gao Zhonghua.
That's right, since Cao Kun was the only unmarried man left in this generation, he finally joined the wedding procession as he wished. Coincidentally, Gao Zhonghua and Li Hua needed to rush back to attend Liu Guoxing's wedding, so they brought Cao Kun along.
Liu Yanran, who was reluctant to take a holiday during the Chinese New Year, specially gave all employees a day off today so that everyone could witness Liu Guoxing's happy moment together.
Because there will be many guests today, Cao Cuilan and He Xiuzhen will definitely not be able to handle it alone. So Liu Yanran, Liu Pianran, Cao Yang, Cao Yue and even Gu Shimiao took the initiative to come to the kitchen to help. Everyone worked together to prepare a sumptuous meal.
The only exception was Mother Gu. Although she wanted to help, no one dared to let her do it. After all, her cooking skills were a little worrying. Even if she dared to cook, others might not dare to eat it!
Gu's mother, along with her eldest and second sisters-in-law, was responsible for taking care of the children, ensuring they were safe and happy. Many relatives and friends would be arriving today, both from the Liu family and the Deng family.
Considering that it would be too cumbersome to hold banquets for both sides, Liu Yanran suggested that the two families be combined to hold the banquet together, which would be both easier and more convenient.
Moreover, holding a banquet in the courtyard required an application, which was a rather complicated procedure. Therefore, they discussed with their families in advance and asked all relatives and friends to come to the courtyard to attend the banquet.
The people on the Liu family's side were mainly Liu Guoxing's classmates and people from the Liu and Gu families, so there were only about 3-4 tables. There were more people on the Deng family's side, because it was the wedding of their most beloved youngest, and almost everyone from the Deng family who could come came, so there were about 14 tables in total.
Tables, chairs, benches, pots, pans, and utensils were all borrowed from neighbors. This is what everyone does in this era. When returning the things, Liu Yanran also gave the people eight or eight yuan as a gift. The neighbors all praised Liu Yanran for being sensible. They said that Liu's father and mother knew how to teach their children, and they would be able to get along well wherever they went in the future.
Many people in the village knew that Cao Cuilan's daughter was beautiful, and they wanted to find her a matchmaker, but Cao Cuilan always refused, saying, "My daughter has already been betrothed to someone else." In the end, the matter came to nothing.
Since the Deng family was having a wedding, people in the yard naturally had to come and join in the fun. These people had watched Deng Wanjun grow up, and suddenly a younger generation was getting married, so of course everyone would come to show their concern.
After everyone entered the Deng family's house, they first greeted Old Mrs. Deng, and then looked at Deng Wanjun and the dowry placed beside her.
The dowry items included wardrobes, desks, sofas and other furniture, as well as bedding, clothes, shoes and other daily necessities, which were dazzling.
Everyone started discussing: "Is the Deng family so rich?"
"Yeah, in addition to the three turns and one ring, and thirty-six legs, there was even a TV set as a dowry!"
"That's right. Even though it's just a black and white TV, very few homes have one these days."
"It seems that the Deng family is very satisfied with this grandson-in-law."
…
Hearing the discussions of people around her, Mrs. Deng showed a smug smile on her face.
Deng Wanjun lowered her head shyly, but her heart was filled with happiness and anticipation.
Of course, some people say that Grandpa Deng still loves his granddaughter and leaves all the good things to her. Others argue that Deng Wanjun's in-laws gave more. Although these were all prepared by the woman, the Liu family gave a betrothal gift of 10,000 yuan, a passbook directly given, and 1,900 yuan in cash. Of course, the Deng family did not keep these, and they all wanted Deng Wanjun to take them away.
