Xiao Shan's parents were both surprised when they heard Lu Yuan's words.
"Lu Yuan, just say what's on your mind. Don't beg or anything. What could be happier than you coming back to life right now!"
Xiao Shan's mother slapped Xiao Shan's father hard on the back: "On such a good day, why are you saying such unlucky things! What do you mean by 'come back to life'? Lu Yuan didn't die, okay?! Pah! Pah! Pah! Don't say that word!"
"By the way, Lu Yuan, what would you like to eat? Auntie will get it for you!"
Lu Yuan shook his head, then looked at Xiao Shan with a serious expression.
"I think I'll marry Xiaoshan after I go back! I hope you'll let me marry Xiaoshan!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Shan immediately covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face. She threw herself into Lu Yuan's arms and burst into tears.
Then he punched Lu Yuan in the chest and cursed.
"You bastard! Do you know how long I've waited for this day?! And you only just opened your mouth! I won't marry you! I won't marry you! I'd rather die than marry you! Waaaaah..."
Seeing Xiaoshan crying so sadly, Lu Yuan felt a sharp pain in his heart, but also an indescribable happiness all over his body.
He grinned, trying to reach out and pat Xiaoshan on the back, but found he couldn't do it at all.
"I know I was wrong, please forgive me this time! Ouch!" Lu Yuan winced in pain.
Xiao Shan quickly got up, looking worried: "Are you alright? I forgot you were injured. Does it hurt?"
Lu Yuan shook his head, his eyes filled with Xiao Shan: "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all!"
Xiao Shan's mother wiped away her tears, while Xiao Shan's father turned his head away to stop his tears from falling.
After venting her emotions, Xiao Shan's face turned bright red, and she lowered her head, not daring to speak.
Xiao Shan's parents had been waiting for this day for a long time. When they heard Lu Yuan say that he wanted to marry their daughter, how could they not be unwilling? Besides, they were already married. It's just that Lu Yuan wanted to wait until after the apocalypse ended, so they hadn't been urging him. All they were missing was a formality.
At this moment, the doors opened from the outside, and Zhou Tong, along with several others, clapped with smiles on their faces.
"Marry him! Marry him!"
Xiao Shan's father suddenly straightened his face: "Lu Yuan, we've spoiled our daughter for over twenty years, and from now on..."
Lu Yuan quickly interjected, "Uncle and Auntie, don't worry! From now on, I will treat Xiaoshan like my most precious treasure! I will not let her suffer any grievances, and I will give her the best life! I will make sure she is happy every day!"
Xiao Shan's mother then stepped forward and tugged at Lu Yuan's clothes.
"At a time like this, you're still calling them uncle and aunt?"
With tears in his eyes, Lu Yuan called out softly, "Dad! Mom!"
"Oh! Good boy!"
Tears streamed down Xiaoshan's face again as she gently took Xiaoshan's hand and placed it in Lu Yuan's.
Xiao Shan's father kept nodding, "Good son-in-law! Good son-in-law! Good! I won't hold back today, let's have a good meal!"
Everyone applauded, celebrating the couple's happy marriage.
Everyone stepped forward and offered their heartfelt blessings, their faces beaming with smiles. Although they were all pale and thin, with cracked lips, they were still full of energy.
Although Lu Yuan couldn't get up for the time being, with Xiao Shan's care, everyone sat around in the cramped cabin, eating squid and shrimp while chatting. Xiao Shan's father even took out his own wine, which he had been saving for when it was too cold to drink as a lifesaver, but now he also took it out and poured a small glass for everyone.
"Today is my daughter's wedding day. Although the conditions are simple, at least I've found a son-in-law. Come on, let's have a drink together! To celebrate our return!"
"Returning to base! Great!"
As everyone toasted, Xiao Shan also took a small sip, but looked at Lu Yuan with a smile.
"You're injured, so let's leave it at that!"
Lu Yuan smacked his lips, wanting to drink but really couldn't. His whole body was in pain, and he probably couldn't drink any more.
"Xiao Shan, this is your big day. When we get back, I'll definitely throw a huge party, a three-day, three-night feast!"
Xiao Shan rolled her eyes at him.
"You're so kind. We know what's going on at home. Three days and three nights already, and we're all running out of food. Let's save as much as we can!"
"Hehe! It's okay, I've already found a way to grow crops. Grandpa and Grandma are probably already eating their first batch of corn!"
"What? You...you've found a way to grow food? No way?"
Zhou Tong, who was sitting to the side, also looked surprised.
"Brother Lu, you're not kidding us, are you? This kind of technology is only in the hands of a few powerful forces. It requires a special kind of ore!"
"That's right, I used to make this kind of thing when I was in District 5! There are still hundreds of people there making a living by mining there!"
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately asked Lu Yuan to tell them what had happened during the time he was missing.
Since Lu Yuan had nothing else to do, he slowly began to recount how he made his fortune in District Five.
"Wow, you're awesome, bro! I never imagined you could handle this catalyst! It's unbelievable!"
"Haha! Looks like we won't have to worry about food and clothing anymore!"
The crowd cheered; they had been starving for far too long and just wanted a good meal.
The return journey was just beginning, and everyone was eager to go home, but the fuel problem became their biggest issue at the moment.
"Alas! Without fuel, relying on the sails to move forward, how much longer will we have to go!"
