Wu Meixia and her husband waited at the door early in the morning. When they saw Wu Shaojun's wedding car return, they hung firecrackers at the door and lit them.
The entire alley was filled with a crackling sound.
The neighbors all waited at the door; it had been a long time since Old Wu's family had held a happy occasion, so they all came to join in the fun.
They were eating sunflower seeds, peanuts, and candy.
Wu Shaojun also bought two two-story villas near the old cadres' residence.
One set is to repay my elder sister for raising me all these years, and the other set is to be my new home with Gu Shaoying.
Wu Meixia and he chose this location together.
Firstly, the environment here is quiet and pleasant, and secondly, it's close to Xia Enruo's home.
This way, Gu Shaoying wouldn't have to travel such a long distance to go back to her parents' home.
The new house is only half-finished, so I can only live with my older sister's family for now, and move in after the smell dissipates.
Wu Shaojun took Gu Shaoying's hand and got out of the car, stepping over the brazier and into the house.
Wu Meixia brought out dried fruit and candy to share with the neighbors, and also gave some red envelopes to a few children.
The courtyard of the Wu family's old house was full of people.
Since the weather was still very warm in October, the table was simply set up in the courtyard to receive the wedding procession.
Ge Qiuqin, Zhao Mingyan, Yuan Qiang, and others, as members of the bride's family, sat at the main table and talked with Wu's relatives and elders.
Wu Meixia busied herself, and went into the house first to check on Gu Shaoying.
She sat on the edge of the bed, took Gu Shaoying's hand, and said with great joy:
"Shaoying, you must be exhausted today. Your elder sister has been waiting for you to come home for so many days."
From now on, we're family, even closer than family.
With such an outstanding daughter-in-law like you, Old Wu's family would be proud of their parents in heaven.
"Big sister, I'm so happy to have such a good older sister like you."
I am content with my life, as my parents, brother, and sister-in-law have taken meticulous care of me.
"With such a wonderful older sister and brother-in-law like you here, Shaojun and I are truly blessed."
Gu Shaoying truly lives up to her college education; her words always resonate with people.
Wu Meixia wiped away her tears upon hearing this, feeling that she had truly made the right choice in marrying her sister-in-law, who was incredibly sensible.
"We are all blessed people. By the way, where is your sister-in-law, my god-sister? Why didn't she come to see us off?"
"My sister-in-law and brother took my parents to the hotel to get things done."
Many city leaders said they were coming today, and my dad arranged for them to eat in a private room on the third floor, saying he would go over first to make arrangements.
My sister-in-law was worried that something might not have been arranged yet, so she went to the wedding banquet venue first.
Wu Meixia felt incredibly proud to be related to Gu Zhiyuan by marriage.
His current smooth-sailing career is inseparable from his influence.
City leaders are aware of this relationship, and will naturally take it into consideration when allocating and deploying personnel.
Don't underestimate these few points; they are very useful.
"Shaoying, your older sister made dumplings for you. Shaojun will feed you in a bit."
Gu Shaoying was really hungry. She hadn't eaten a single bite since morning, so she was looking forward to the prospect of food.
Wu Meixia placed a bowl of dumplings in her younger brother's hands.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Wu Shaojun picked up a dumpling and fed it to his wife.
Gu Shaoying took a bite with great anticipation.
But after taking a couple of bites, I discovered that the dumpling filling was raw.
"Hmm~~~ It's raw!"
Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this.
Wu Meixia, standing to the side, also blushed with laughter.
Wu Shaojun leaned closer and said:
"Wife, you said it yourself! It's the baby!"
Gu Shaoying only understood the meaning after seeing the crowd.
She blushed and lowered her head.
Wu Meixia then brought over the real dumplings and handed them to the two of them.
After serving tea to Wu Meixia and her husband, Wu Shaojun and his companion got into their car and headed to the hotel.
The wedding car convoy consisted entirely of Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
This is the first time I've ever seen such a scene in Yongning City.
When pedestrians on the street saw this, they all stopped and peeked out, whispering among themselves.
The wedding banquet officially began after the ceremony.
The Gu and Wu families were busy entertaining their relatives and friends at the hotel.
Gu Shaoying linked arms with Wu Shaojun and went from table to table toasting.
The wedding lasted until 3 p.m. before officially ending.
Xia Enruo was exhausted and went home to rest as soon as the event was over.
Ge Qiuqin and Zhao Mingyan were left to direct the finishing touches on site.
Wang Meihua and Gu Zhiyuan were already drunk and Gu Shaoxuan took them home to sleep.
Wu Shaojun led Gu Shaoying and a group of young people back to the new house to eat and drink.
This lively scene continued until 10 p.m.
After everyone left, Gu Shaoying's excitement completely dissipated, leaving her utterly exhausted.
Inside the new house, Wu Shaojun cleaned up the room and let the smell of alcohol dissipate.
The eldest sister's family had already gone to bed, and only the newlyweds remained in the house.
Wu Shaojun closed the doors and windows, drew the curtains, sat on the edge of the bed, and embraced Gu Shaoying, reeking of alcohol.
Gu Shaoying nestled against his chest, listening to the rising and falling sounds.
"Honey, I didn't expect our marriage to happen so quickly. The day has passed in the blink of an eye. We're truly husband and wife now."
"That's right. I still remember the first time I saw you at my brother's house. You came in with two free-range chickens behind my older sister."
I fell in love with you at that moment!
"Me too, I was just wondering, whose daughter is this? She's so beautiful, like a fairy descended from heaven."
"If only I could marry her. If I did, I'd pamper her and treat her to the best food and drink every day."
Gu Shaoying rested her head on his chest, took his hand, and said:
"Shaojun, please don't make me worry anymore, okay? Let's live a good life together."
"I promise your wife that I will be more careful in the future and will never fall into such a trap again."
I will never let you worry or cry for me again.
"I heard that woman is dead? Is that true?"
"Yes, I heard it from a former colleague at the factory. He said that he suddenly committed suicide by hitting his head against the wall in the detention center for some unknown reason."
It's truly regrettable. We even worked in the same factory; it's such a sad turn of events.
"Isn't that right? I heard that her whole family depends on her to support them. As a woman herself, she also has a hard life. She just took the wrong path."
"Alright, let's stop talking about her. She deserved it. It's so late, we should go to sleep!"
Wu Shaojun rolled over and pinned Gu Shaoying down.
Gu Shaoying blushed and buried her head in her husband's arms.
Wu Shaojun removed the pearl flowers from her head one by one.
He lowered his head and kissed her, showering her with countless kisses.
Gu Shaoying closed her eyes, waiting for the moment she would become a wife.
His kisses gradually wandered over every part of his body.
Gu Shaoying's face flushed, and she gradually began to make "dinging" sounds.
Wu Shaojun removed their clothes and turned off the lights.
Under the moonlight, bronze skin clung to the porcelain skin beneath her.
A series of tingling moans drifted out as the bed creaked and swayed...
