Chapter 303 Lin Xiao’s Wedding! Amorous Autumn!
This was a very traditional wedding.
Moreover, it is held by the man's family and the woman's family together, and everything is even done according to traditional rules.
On the evening of November 11, the two families had already started preparing the wedding banquet, and almost all the cigarettes, alcohol and food from the bride's family were sent by the groom's family.
Nowadays, people in Linshan County basically hold their wedding banquets in hotels.
But Xiao Momo chose to build a large shed on an open space near her home, and then set up dozens of tables inside.
Even Xiao Wanli's house had three or four tables.
The same thing happened at Lin Xiao's house. Just like at a wedding with fellow villagers, they borrowed the neighbor's house to set up the table.
Although we hired some professional chefs, most of them were relatives or friends from the countryside who had relatively high cooking skills.
Compared to the last wedding of Lin Yao and Lucas, this time not even any celebrities or high-level officials were invited.
They are really just relatives, friends, and classmates of the two families.
There is no media either.
Even the banquet was not particularly luxurious, and was basically of upper-middle standard in Linshan County.
In a few years, rural banquets in Jiaxing, Shaoxing, Suzhou, Fujian and other places became very luxurious, with Maotai as the liquor, and expensive dishes such as king crab, dried abalone and Australian lobster.
But people in Linshan don’t really like this kind of food. Influenced by the nearby Jiangxi cuisine, the taste here is quite different from that in other cities in Zhijiang. People here also like spicy food.
So at the banquet, the dishes are all the ones that everyone really likes to eat.
Taro beef, soft-shelled turtle, eel, braised lamb, loach, braised pork, pig's trotter, etc...
Of course, in order to cater to the appetites of some foreign guests, a dozen exquisite and refreshing dishes will also be prepared.
There were about 30 dishes on the table, and the wine was not even Moutai, but only Wuliangye. The red wine was not even Penfolds, but domestic Changyu.
Those who attended the banquet on Xiao Momo's side were all Xiao Wanli and Li Fangfang's former colleagues, as well as Xiao Momo's former colleagues and her good college classmates.
"Look, look, they make so much money, they are top tycoons, and they hold such a decent banquet. You don't know Zhang Qu next door, he did some business and made a little money, that's simply amazing, the banquet he held was so fancy, he wanted everyone to know that he made some money."
"The Lin Xiao family has spent hundreds of millions of yuan in donations to build a nursing home over the years, but the banquet they hosted is just above average in our county. It's not extravagant, wasteful, or lavish."
"Don't underestimate these vegetables. All the vegetables are grown by ourselves, and all the meat is raised by ourselves."
The relative next to him was surprised and asked, "Really?"
"Of course it's true. In order to hold this wedding, my in-laws started preparing last year. They planted a lot of vegetables and raised a lot of chickens, ducks, fish, pigs, sheep and cattle. Everything is the freshest."
"These vegetables and meats were delivered in truckloads this morning, and they are all very fresh."
"People are really different. Lin Xiao has done so much for us at Linshan. How many people rely on him for their livelihood and careers? Yet his wedding was so simple, and yet he gave us good food and drink."
"Those big stars on TV and in newspapers should learn a lesson. Compared to us, Lin Xiao, you are nothing. Yet, you are more extravagant than the other."
Immediately, the relatives at the table praised it.
What you spend money on is nothing. What is priceless is the vegetables grown and the livestock raised by the parents and grandparents of the top billionaires with great effort.
"No wonder, this pork is completely different from the one bought at the market, it's more fragrant and sweeter."
"Of course. These pigs don't eat feed at all. They only eat grains and vegetables."
Xiao Momo, the bride, wore a red wedding dress and sat at a table with her college classmates and a group of close friends.
The best classmates in high school, the best classmates in college, but most of them are ordinary people.
Even though there are some who are good looking, they are basically ordinary people.
“Oh my god…”
"You guys really are like something out of a fairy tale. I feel a wave of unreality sitting here."
"I was working in the county yesterday. When I got home for my salary, I was still arguing with my parents-in-law. I was just fussing over a few melons and dates. I just spent 13 yuan a pound of imported red apples, and my mother-in-law complained that I didn't know how to live. Today, I am sitting here to witness the wedding of the prince and princess."
"Paopao is a princess, but your man is more than just a prince."
"No TV drama dares to cast such a rich and powerful man as the male lead."
My best friend Li Yike said, "Let me tell you about my story."
"I work at Lightning Group. In fact, with my ability, I can't get into Lightning Group at all, but I got in."
"My boss's boss's boss's boss is not qualified to report to Bubble Husband, and I'm sitting here. Do you know what this feels like? It's magical, as if this chair underneath me doesn't exist."
"Congratulations, Bubbles!"
"You have the love that countless girls dream of, and you live a dream life."
"Of course, I want to thank you for proving to us that a dream-like life does exist."
"I am even more grateful to you, Mr. Lin, for showing us this kind of life in such an approachable way."
Almost every best friend and every friend speaks from the heart.
Before, Xiao Momo would definitely be reserved and modest, but now she just wants to quietly enjoy every bit of happiness.
……………………
The next morning, a convoy drove out from Lin Xiao’s hometown and arrived in Lin County to pick up the bride.
The wedding car was not particularly luxurious, just a Mercedes worth a few hundred thousand dollars, and behind it were a bunch of Toyotas and Hondas.
There were even several large trucks with bands playing music.
Moreover, these big trucks are also used to carry dowries.
As we drove into Linshan County, we immediately attracted some onlookers.
"Whose family is getting married? The conditions are pretty good, with a Mercedes-Benz E as the lead car."
"But are all these trucks carrying dowries? It's not popular for women in the city to bring a lot of dowries now, right? Are they for marrying in the countryside?"
"A girl from the county town marries someone from the countryside? How can that be possible? Anyway, my girl will never marry someone from the countryside."
A woman who worked at the county committee nearby couldn't help but ask, "What do you know? This is Director Xiao Wanli marrying his daughter to Lin Xiao."
“Oh my god…”
Lin Xiao is now the number one pride of Linshan County.
The entire Lightning Group and Quantum Technology all have Linshan System.
The principal of Linshan No. 1 Middle School said directly at the Linshan No. 1 Middle School College Entrance Examination Mobilization Meeting that as long as you have the ability and talent, you can go anywhere in this world.
Silicon Valley in the United States, awesome, right?! Facebook, the world's top unicorn company.
youtube, the world's top company.
Fantasy Vision, one of the top film companies in Hollywood.
They all belong to your senior brother Lin Xiao, as well as Yahoo Group, Texas Instruments, Sony Columbia, all of them are direct descendants of your senior brother Lin.
As long as you have the ability, you can go anywhere, including Silicon Valley, Hollywood, Tokyo, and Hong Kong.
Why don’t you study hard and work hard to get into 985 or 211?
Or to put it more bluntly, as long as you can get into a 211 university and graduate successfully, it will be easy for you to find a job with an annual salary of hundreds of thousands.
This is something students from other places can't even dream of getting.
It’s because your senior brother Lin also graduated from our Linshan No. 1 Middle School.
"Sister Li, you work in the county party committee office, why don't you attend the wedding?"
Sister Li from the County Party Committee Office said, "Me? Our Secretary Zhou didn't even go, so what am I?"
However, she had secretly bought firecrackers and a lot of fireworks, and placed them on the roof of her self-built house.
When the bride Xiao Momo left the county town and passed by her house, she would immediately set off the fireworks.
Because his son is about to graduate from university, he is from the Computer Science Department of Southwest Normal University and has already made a reservation to join Lightning Group.
And there are many people who think like her.
……………………
Li Hu's daughter, Li Wenwen, has graduated from graduate school.
There were a lot of job opportunities waiting for her, but she said she wanted to enter the entertainment industry, which almost made Li Hu cry.
My daughter, although you are good-looking and are known as the most beautiful girl in class, it is not good enough for you to enter the entertainment industry.
Besides, you have a master's degree in management, and you want to enter the entertainment industry?
At this time, as one of the bridesmaids, she began to work hard to guard every checkpoint.
Soon, the convoy to pick up the bride arrived.
Several best men and the groom came down.
Everyone cheered immediately. It was the first time for Xiao Momo's relatives, her college classmates, high school classmates, and many teachers from Linshan No. 1 Middle School to see Master Lin Xiao.
"Wow, so handsome!"
"No way, he's much more handsome than in the photos and videos."
"It's too much. He's so rich, so handsome, and so young?"
Lin Xiao came to the first door holding a bouquet of flowers.
The bridesmaids inside started asking for red envelopes and making various requests.
After more than ten minutes of commotion, the door finally opened.
Next is the second door, which is the bride's boudoir.
This door is even more difficult.
The conditions in it are more outrageous than each other.
"Groom, sign for me."
"Groom, do you have abs? Show me your abs..."
All kinds of conditions were met and countless red envelopes were stuffed in, but the door still wouldn't open.
The groomsmen led by Li Zhongtian began to rush to the door.
"Sisters, hold on, hold on..."
"Don't let the other person be defeated just because he is a billionaire. No matter how handsome, noble, or in great shape he is, we can't lose our ground..."
“Sing, sing…”
"Groom, sing a song and we'll let you in. I promise to keep my word."
Lin Xiao didn't put on airs, he just sang outside the door. And he sang really well, Zhu Hongbin even brought a guitar from the next room and helped Lin Xiao to accompany him.
After finally finishing the singing, the girls inside changed their minds again and put forward some messed up conditions.
"Brothers, charge..." Zhu Hongbin and Wang Lei led the charge.
However, I didn't dare to use too much force, after all, the people pushing against the door were all girls.
As a result, the door was suddenly pushed open.
Several bridesmaids who were pushing the door fell to the ground, screaming.
"Hey, hey, hey, Xu Zhizhi, you useless traitor, you let me down at the critical moment, you secretly opened the lock..." Several bridesmaids accused the most beautiful bridesmaid, Xiao Momo's college classmate.
Xu Zhizhi said embarrassedly: "But, he is so handsome, I am embarrassed to embarrass him again."
"Nothing, nothing..."
"I've known since college that you're good-looking, but you're the worst."
Xiao Momo, dressed in red, watched this scene with happiness and joy.
After several bridesmaids get up from the ground, they form a human wall to prevent the groom from carrying the bride away.
Several groomsmen were guarding one by one, which created an opportunity for Lin Xiao, who pounced forward from a long distance.
Suddenly, he threw Xiao Momo onto the bed.
Paopao put his arms around Lin Xiao's neck, looked at her infatuatedly, and then kissed her.
“Hey, hey, hey…”
"Pay attention to the occasion. We haven't even gotten married yet."
Lin Xiao exerted some strength, picked up Bubble from the bed, and walked outside.
The band downstairs was playing again.
As a bridesmaid, Li Wenwen looked for an umbrella everywhere.
"Where's my umbrella? Where's my umbrella?"
Xu Zhizhi quickly took the red umbrella from under the bed and handed it to Li Wenwen. During the play just now, he had moved the umbrella directly under the bed.
Lin Xiao carried Bubble down the stairs in one breath, and then carried her to the wedding car.
Li Wenwen hurriedly came out holding an umbrella and held it over the bride's head, even though it was not raining.
"Brother..." She did not forget to smile sweetly at Lin Xiao.
At this time, with the help of dozens of people, all the dowries that Xiao Wanli and Li Fangfang had carefully prepared were placed on the truck.
Then, firecrackers blasted.
Fireworks are set off.
The bride left home and the wedding procession slowly drove away.
Then……
No matter where the convoy went, firecrackers were set off on both sides and fireworks were set off on the roofs of every household.
No negotiation, no coercion.
Just like that, somehow, it became a tacit understanding.
There were countless people on both sides of the street.
Lin Xiao and Xiao Momo opened the car windows, leaned their heads out slightly, and waved to the people on both sides.
Thank you for the blessings from my fellow villagers.
He even blinked hard because his eyes felt a little warm.
Along the way, countless people waved and looked at this perfect couple.
This is the greatest pride of the entire Linshan.
Especially when passing by Linshan No. 1 Middle School, bursts of shouting could be heard from inside.
"Happy wedding!"
"Brother Lin, Teacher Xiao, happy wedding!"
……………………………………
"My parents are getting married..."
"My father is going to get married..."
Lin Yiyi, a pretty and delicate girl, is almost three years old.
She was in her grandmother's arms for a while, then in her grandmother's arms, and then in her aunt's arms.
Basically, she snatched it! Li Shuang got it, hugged the little thing tightly, and kept kissing her little face.
It felt as if this little baby was also hers. She had a niece, but she didn't love her so much.
"Baby, can you sleep with Mommy Shuang tonight?"
In the past few years, Li Shuang has spent more time with the baby than Lin Xiao.
And she is the kind of person who would like to move the whole world to her, any pretty clothes and good toys in the world.
Li Shuang would buy it first and bring it to Lin Yiyi.
"Okay..." Lin Yiyi: "I love Mom Shuang the fourth."
The little thing put his face close to Li Shuang and counted on his fingers.
I love my mom first, my dad second, my grandma third, my mom Shuang fourth, my grandpa fifth, my grandma sixth, and my aunt seventh.
Currently, she is almost ranked twenty.
But little darling, aren't you afraid of people getting jealous with such a clear ranking? Beside, Li Zhongtian's wife Ding Yuanzhi was holding another baby, who was only over one year old this year. When she saw Lin Yiyi's gaze, the baby grinned and drooled from the corners of his mouth.
The entire wedding ceremony was still held in the ancestral hall.
Grandpa looked very energetic at this time, and you couldn't tell at all that he had undergone surgery before.
Xiao Momo's grandparents are also still alive.
Therefore, there were eight elders sitting at the top.
Therefore, both parties are blessed families with typical longevity genes.
Xiao Wanli's heart was pounding, and even his whole body was shaking slightly.
Li Fangfang couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes.
Four years ago, when the incident began, Xiao Wanli and Li Fangfang were in charge of everything. They brought Xiao Momo back home and returned the betrothal gift.
From that time on, Xiao Momo actually never expressed any attitude.
But Li Fangfang knew in her heart that Bubble just wanted to close her eyes, pretend nothing had happened, and get married.
But... Xiao Wanli and Li Fangfang could not tolerate this happening.
Xiao Momo had never shown any coquettishness, and had always been gentle as water over the years, whether it was towards her parents, Lin Xiao, or her children.
And now, we are finally married.
It has been delayed for four years.
Does it make sense?
Li Fangfang felt that there was, but the specific meaning was too complicated to describe.
But she also felt distressed that her precious daughter had wasted four years of her life.
Fortunately, there is baby Lin Yiyi, otherwise she even thinks her daughter will have a mental breakdown.
But with these four years of experience, perhaps many emotions will be released, and it will be easier for everyone to be happy in the future.
The person who presided over the ceremony was Lin Xiao’s former principal and now his most loyal fan among the people, Zhang Qizhao.
His hands were almost shaking slightly.
He has seen a lot of things, not to mention presiding over meetings in the bureau or speaking to thousands of teachers and students, he can do it with ease.
And now, I can't hide my excitement.
What qualifications does he have to be the host?
He decided to just say what needed to be said, and never to overdo himself or become sentimental like some wedding emcees.
"Now, let's start with the first item on the wedding agenda. The witness, Mr. Lian Zheng, will give a speech."
Originally, his introduction was much more complicated, because Lian Zheng was already a deputy minister at this time and had a lot of titles.
But in the end, no title was introduced, just Mr. Lian Zheng.
This witness was really cruel to Lian Zheng.
But... he insisted again and again.
Although Shu Wan had forgiven Lin Xiao to some extent, she herself worked in the Quantum Technology Park and often invited Lin Xiao to her home for dinner.
But she still didn't attend this wedding. Even Shu Wan didn't know what to do in the future, or what to do with her daughter Lian Yi.
Instead, Lian Zheng repeatedly asked Lin Huaili and Xiao Wanli that he not only wanted to attend the wedding, but also wanted to be a witness.
Lian Zheng came out, took out a piece of paper, and put on his reading glasses.
Before he knew it, he was wearing reading glasses.
He used to be so handsome. When he was in his forties, he really looked like he was in his early thirties.
Lian Zheng now really looks a little old.
Although these four years were extremely satisfying and I was focused on accomplishing great things, I also worked hard and paid attention to every detail.
The whole place suddenly fell silent, because everyone knew his position.
"Grandpa Lian..." Lin Yiyi suddenly shouted.
Then, she cleverly covered her mouth, as if she knew she couldn't speak at this time.
Lian Zheng's body trembled slightly, and he looked at the baby with loving eyes.
“Eh…”
It was this call of "Grandpa" that made Lian Zheng's eyes turn red. He had once wished so much to have a granddaughter, born to Lin Xiao and Little Water Drop.
After calming down a little, Lian Zheng said loudly: "I have repeatedly told Lin Xiao that everyone can become Yao and Shun."
"But now, I regret it a little. A lot of things have happened in the past four years, and my state of mind has changed accordingly. I don't want you to become Yao or Shun anymore. I even want you to be like a solitary cloud out of a mountain, with nothing to worry about; a bright mirror hanging in the air, with nothing to worry about."
"I have known Lin Xiao for seven years."
“Today, it seems just like it was back then.”
“This moment is just like that moment.”
"In seven years, maybe your achievements have changed, but you haven't changed much as a person?"
"I think you're still nine out of ten the same as before."
"You are untainted by the mud, and you are clever but don't use your intelligence."
"You all have lofty ambitions, to do great things, to build great undertakings! I used to be very excited, but now I am worried that because the world is so vast, you don't know where to go."
"Thanks to Brother Xiao Wanli, thanks to Li Fangfang, thanks to Xiao Momo, Lin Xiao has found his way home."
Lian Zheng just tried it lightly, because in order to restore his reputation, do great things, and build a great cause, how dangerous is the outside world? How stormy is it? Even now, he is still surrounded by many giants, and he is driving a big ship, cutting through the wind and waves, and he doesn't even have the power to get off the ship.
Because the fate of everyone on board lies in the hands of the captain.
Therefore, when the storm outside is fierce, inner peace becomes even more important.
"There are still many years of battle ahead, and perhaps the wind will be stronger and the waves higher."
“Although our business has taken shape, it is still a difficult journey.”
"But I hope that ten or twenty years from now, when I see Lin Xiao again, it will be the same as it was yesterday or today."
"I hope that in the future you will still be 90% the same as before."
Lian Zheng's words don't sound like a wedding speech, but more like heartfelt words to his beloved sons and nephews.
Pause for a moment.
"Finally, I wish Lin Xiao and Xiao Momo a happy and harmonious relationship. I hope they will have a deep love and everything will go well for them."
"A match made in heaven, a perfect couple!"
“Thank you everyone!”

Note: It's hard to write, so I wrote it so late. It will be earlier tomorrow. Can I still ask for monthly tickets? Thank you all! (End of this chapter)
