Xiao Shan's face suddenly turned red, and she lowered her head, seemingly lost in thought.
Lu Yuan had long felt that he owed Xiao Shan a lot, so he gently pulled her into his arms.
Go! We're all waiting for you!
Xiao Shan nodded, her voice choked with emotion. She hadn't experienced this kind of life in a long time! Her last wedding was rather hasty, and the events of that day were still fresh in her memory.
"Sister Xiaoshan, you go quickly! I'm not hungry at all!" Zhou Chen shouted while drooling.
"Hey! You little brat, why are you calling me Uncle Lu and Sister Xiaoshan instead! Call me that again!"
Lu Yuan jokingly pointed at Zhou Chen, and the little girl immediately screamed and ran behind Zhou Tong.
"Everyone... everyone, let's eat first! This matter isn't urgent!" Xiao Shan finally spoke after thinking for a while.
Lu Yuan turned to look at Xiao Shan and asked softly, "Go ahead! I'll wait for you here!"
Xiao Shan stubbornly shook her head: "Really, it's not necessary. I'm already content just being with you every day! Our living conditions are better now, but there are still many things we need to do! So let's not do it!"
Xiao Shan's mother wiped away her tears below: "This girl, she promised to let me see her in a wedding dress, but now she doesn't want to go! Sigh! Maybe she's been through too much and prefers this kind of simple life!"
Xiao Shan's father nodded and pulled Xiao Shan's mother into his arms: "As long as our daughter and son-in-law are happy, we are content! As for the wedding dress and all that! There will be plenty of time to wear one later!"
The lively crowd saw that Xiaoshan was unwilling to wear a wedding dress, and Xiaoshan's parents said that their daughter should make her own decision, so in the end no one forced her to wear the wedding dress.
However, Lu Yuan caught a glimmer of hope in Xiao Shan's eyes.
But Lu Yuan didn't say anything, he just silently looked at Xiao Shan's face.
After everyone was seated, Lu Yuan raised his glass and proposed, "This first toast is for all of us! It's not easy for us all to have survived so many years of the apocalypse! Now that we're all gathered here, let's try our best to get through the next disaster and welcome the new world together!"
If Lu Yuan had said this a few years ago, his grandparents would probably have said something, since no one knew when the disaster would end. At that time, people were hoping that the disaster would pass quickly, but after so many years, everyone has become used to the disaster.
One by one, everyone raised their glasses.
When the glasses clinked together, everyone drank it all in one gulp. The meaning of this first drink was very profound, containing so much hardship and bloodshed, so everyone's mood was quite somber.
Seeing everyone sitting silently in their seats, Lu Yuan picked up another glass of wine and spoke.
"For the second toast, I want to raise a glass to our future. Just now, we paid tribute to our past, so this toast is a wish for an even brighter future!"
"Great! I hope our lives get better and better, and that everyone can live a healthy life!"
"I hope there will be no more disasters in our lives! And that we can return to peace as soon as possible!"
"I hope that in the future, we can go back to school and see our friends again!"
"I hope my sister and I will both be well in the future, and that I can see my sister grow up and get married!"
"hope……"
Everyone poured their blessings and hopes into this glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.
After Lu Yuan finished drinking, he saw that many people had already shed tears, and the scene was once again somewhat out of control.
At this moment, Grandpa stood up, held the bottle of white wine in his hand, and spoke softly.
"I think the third toast should be to Lu Yuan! To my eldest grandson! He's the one who brought us to life!"
Lu Yuan quickly stepped forward to help his grandfather.
"Grandpa, you're making me shorten my lifespan! How can I accept this cup of wine from you! Everyone's survival is thanks to everyone else! I was just doing what I was supposed to do!"
Grandma wiped away her tears with the back of her hand: "Xiao Yuan! Don't refuse! This old woman also feels that I should toast you with this glass of wine!"
Father Lu nodded: "That's right! You rascal, although I've never been very optimistic about you, I never expected that you would have so many brains in this apocalypse! Leading us to survive! That's the best gift! You deserve our respect!"
Xiao Shan's father also stood up, holding his wine glass: "That's right! The third glass must be yours! Don't refuse! Drink this glass, and we'll live well from now on!"
Xiao Shan also took Lu Yuan's arm, a happy smile on her face: "Yes! You've done so much! We've all seen it. If it weren't for you, we probably wouldn't have made it through the first year! Do you remember how you came from District 3 to Qingshui City to save us? From that moment on, I considered you my savior! You are a hero to all of us!"
After being showered with praise by everyone, Lu Yuan suddenly felt embarrassed.
"Ahem! You're all doing this. Are you trying to get me drunk? Hehe! Alright! One by one then! Tonight, we won't leave until we're drunk!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan picked up his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Everyone finished their last glass of wine.
The new house was filled with a joyful atmosphere; if you didn't know better, you would think it was a scene from before the apocalypse.
Although Lu Yuan ate quite a few golden fruits, his effect on alcohol was also quite strong.
