Chapter 173 Wedding
The sun rises in the east and the sky is bright.
The wedding procession set off in a grand manner. More than 20 young soldiers wearing the most neat military uniforms, with red flowers on their chests, surrounded Wen Yanxi and Wen Qing and walked towards Wen Yanxi's house.
The two houses are close to each other, only a hundred steps away.
As the group approached the bride's home, they saw several military wives standing at the door, grinning and joking. One of the older wives shouted, "Captain Wen, it's not that easy to pick up the bride!"
"Here they come! Close the door quickly!" The round-faced military wife shouted when she heard the noise and ran to lock the door tightly.
Yue Xiulan quickly covered Shen Zhaoyue with a red veil and whispered, "They will definitely make a fuss later. Don't be afraid. It's all according to the rules."
Wen Yanxi raised his lips and winked at Wen Qing. Wen Qing immediately understood and grabbed a handful of small red envelopes, throwing them into the air. The red envelopes rained down, and the military wives burst into laughter. They all bent down to pick them up, and the door opened smoothly.
Jia Zheng laughed out loud and said, "Well, good luck in opening the door!"
Wen Yanxi strode into the door with a faint smile on his face.
In the living room, Chen Zhaoyue sat upright on the sofa, dressed in red, a phoenix crown on her head, her eyebrows and eyes as picturesque as a painting. She was naturally bright and beautiful, and today, after carefully dressing up, she was even more beautiful. The sunlight filtered through the window and shone on her, as if she were gilded, and even the dust in the air danced around her.
The soldiers were stunned for a moment, and Wen Qing was even more transfixed, his red envelope slipping to the ground. He had never seen Chen Zhaoyue like this before. Normally, she wore a simple white coat and had a simple braid. While beautiful, she wasn't as stunning as she was today. His eyes lingered on her face, and he forgot where he was.
Seeing this, Wen Yanxi raised his foot and kicked Wen Qing lightly, "What are you looking at, little brat?"
Wen Qing suddenly came back to his senses, his ears turned red, and he stammered and couldn't speak.
Chen Zhaoyue felt a little embarrassed by being looked at, and lowered her head slightly, but couldn't hide a shy smile at the corner of her lips.
Wen Yanxi strode to Chen Zhaoyue, bent down and picked her up sideways, "If I had known you were so busy, I would have come alone to pick you up."
His words caused everyone to laugh. Shen Zhaoyue patted his shoulder lightly, and the blush on her face deepened.
In the noisy atmosphere, Wen Yanxi whispered to Shen Zhaoyue in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Yueyue, you are so beautiful today."
As I went out, firecrackers popped and red confetti flew in the air like fallen petals.
Wen Yanxi held Chen Zhaoyue firmly in his arms and strode towards the wedding venue - the military auditorium. His comrades behind him sang military songs, and the atmosphere was warm and joyful.
The wedding was presided over by Wen Qimin himself. As Wen Yanxi's uncle and a veteran military commander, he stood on the stage with a solemn yet kind expression. The audience was filled with military leaders and soldiers.
Although it was a special period, the wedding was simple, but still filled with a festive atmosphere.
"Comrade Wen Yanxi, Comrade Chen Zhaoyue, are you willing to spend the rest of your lives together, cherishing and supporting each other no matter good times or bad, rich or poor, healthy or sick?" Wen Qimin's voice was loud and solemn.
Wen Yanxi held Shen Zhaoyue's hand tightly, his eyes firm: "I do."
Chen Zhaoyue looked up at him, her eyes sparkling with tears: "I do."
There was warm applause from the audience.
Wen Yanxi turned his head and whispered in Shen Zhaoyue's ear, "I finally got to marry you home."
The lunchtime banquet was held in the army cafeteria. Although supplies were scarce, the kitchen staff still managed to prepare a feast of fish and meat. Every table had braised pork, steamed fish, stewed chicken and other hearty dishes. The soldiers ate with gusto, and the atmosphere was very lively.
Chen Zhaoyue had gotten up early in the morning to dress up and had barely eaten anything. When she smelled the aroma of food, her stomach started growling.
Wen Yanxi considerately picked up some dishes for her and said, "Eat something first. We'll have a toast later."
Chen Zhaoyue ate in small bites, his eyes inadvertently sweeping across the room, finally landing on Wen Qing.
Wen Qing sat alone in a corner, head bowed, lost in thought. As if sensing her gaze, he suddenly raised his head, and the moment their eyes met, he quickly looked away.
The toasting began, and Wen Yanxi and Chen Zhaoyue went from table to table to toast. The soldiers started to clamor for the bride to drink, but Wen Yanxi stopped them and poured juice into Chen Zhaoyue's glass instead.
"My wife doesn't drink, so I drink for her." He drank one glass after another, his face gradually turned red, but his eyes became clearer.
By the time they reached the main table, Wen Yanxi was already a little tipsy. This table was occupied by military leaders and members of the Wen family, with Wen Qing also sitting there.
When it was Wen Qing's turn, he stood up, his hand trembling slightly as he raised the glass.
"Uncle,...Aunt, I wish you a happy marriage." Wen Qing's voice was very low, especially the three words "Aunt", which he almost held in his mouth.
Chen Zhaoyue asked subconsciously: "I didn't hear clearly, what did you call me?"
Wen Qing's face flushed red all of a sudden. Under everyone's gaze, he took a deep breath and shouted loudly, "Auntie!"
The whole audience was silent for a moment, and then burst into even louder laughter.
Wen Yanxi laughed so hard that he fell backwards, patting Wen Qing on the shoulder: "Good boy, you finally said it out loud!"
Chen Zhaoyue also smiled. Hi, she had been waiting for the name "little aunt" for too long, but finally she heard it!
Comfortable!
