The godmother rushed in at that moment, "Huan'er, are you dressed yet? The groom is here, the auspicious time has arrived, we need to go out!"
"Alright, everything's ready! Let's go!"
The group went out together, and Zhou Lin stared wide-eyed, which made everyone laugh and joke. Lin Huan blushed deeply.
"Hehe, honey, I'm here to pick you up!"
He gently took her hand, his heart and eyes filled with her.
The crowd erupted in another round of cheers.
"Oh, oh, time to pick up the bride!"
"Time to pick up the bride!"
Lin Huan and Zhou Lin were ushered out the door. As she was leaving, she turned back to look at her family members in the yard who were watching them reluctantly. Suppressing her own reluctance, she put on a big smile and called out, "Grandpas and Grandmas, brothers and sisters-in-law, everyone, I'm leaving!"
She wanted everyone to remember how beautiful she looked on her wedding day.
Moreover, she doesn't live far away, so she always comes back for holidays and festivals.
Her grandparents, with tears in their eyes, nodded repeatedly and waved goodbye to her.
The betrothal gifts, along with the dowry, filled a whole cart and went to the husband's family home.
As a family member, Bai Yajing would accompany her mentor and matchmaker.
The Zhou family's house was also decorated with red ribbons everywhere. The guests had all arrived, and laughter and chatter could be heard outside the courtyard.
When they saw the bride returning, they all gathered around to help remove her dowry.
When Zhou's relatives saw Lin Huan's dowry, they were all dumbfounded.
Someone else lowered their voice and said, "Wasn't she said to be an orphan?"
Immediately, someone who knew the inside story quickly explained, "She has Dr. Bai's family as her maternal family!"
Everyone else was amazed.
On the other side, a group of people had already entered the main hall.
Bai Yajing was the matchmaker and was also invited by the newlyweds to be the officiant at their wedding.
"Comrades!" She stepped to the front of the stage, her voice booming, "Today we are here to hold a revolutionary wedding ceremony for Comrade Lin Huan and Comrade Zhou Lin!"
This is a revolutionary friendship forged between two outstanding young people under the brilliant guidance of Chairman Mao's thought!
Thunderous applause erupted from the audience.
Lin Huan felt her palms getting sweaty. She secretly glanced at Zhou Lin beside her and noticed that his ears were bright red.
"First, please, newcomers, bow three times to our great leader, Chairman!"
Upon hearing this, the two newlyweds immediately faced the portrait of Chairman Mao and bowed deeply.
"A deep bow to express our gratitude to the Chairman for the happy life he has brought us!"
"A second bow, swearing to be a good soldier of the Chairman!"
"Three bows, forever following the Party!"
After the newlyweds finished bowing, Bai Yajing took out a piece of paper from her pocket: "Now, please read the revolutionary oath."
Zhou Lin smiled and stepped forward to take the paper, his voice trembling slightly: "We voluntarily become husband and wife, and in the future revolution and production, we will help and promote each other, contributing all our strength to socialist construction..."
Lin Huan finished reading along with him.
"Come, let's raise our glasses together and wish the newlyweds a long and happy life together!" Bai Yajing waited until they finished reading before raising her glass.
Lin Huan took a small sip, which made her cough from the spiciness, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
After the meal, the young people started clamoring for a performance.
Bai Yajing stepped down from the stage after her mission was accomplished, and was led to the main table by Zhou Ke.
Zhou Lin and Lin Huan even stuffed a big red envelope into her hand. "Hehehe, Master, thank you. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today. Without you, I wouldn't have found such a good wife!"
Lin Huan nodded in agreement.
Bai Yajing smiled and accepted the letter, saying, "Love is the joy of first sight, marriage is the enduring comfort of being together. I wish you both the poetic beauty of romance and the courage to weather storms together."
Zhou Lin and Lin Huan were deeply moved after hearing this. They smiled at each other and nodded solemnly to Bai Yajing.
