Chapter 390 Wedding
Perhaps because she was meeting her relatives, Lu Chun'e was in a very good spirit. She played with Dandan for a while and did not go back with Zhou Mingli until it was almost dark outside.
After washing up and lying on the bed, Zhou Mingli said, "Chun'e, we still need a wedding."
The feeling wasn't that strong before, but when he came back today and saw the wedding that Xu Qingming had prepared, the thought suddenly came to his mind. He always felt that without a formal wedding, the relationship between him and Lu Chun'e seemed incomplete.
Lu Chun'e laughed and said, "We already have a child, what's the point of talking about a wedding?"
"Then wait until I come back and the baby is born, and we'll do it too."
Lu Chun'e rested her head on his arm and said, "It's still too early. Let's talk about it after the baby is born." But in her heart, she was thinking, why hold a wedding when she already has a child? Really.
"My grandfather should also be there for the wedding banquet tomorrow. We'll go back to the compound with him then. Well, I can't stay here with you for too long this time. I'll save my vacation time. In case you give birth to a baby and I don't receive a transfer order, I'll take leave and come back to be with you."
Lu Chun'e responded, "I'm here now, not alone anymore, so don't worry about me anymore. But you must remember that you are not alone now. No matter where you go, you must come back safely. The children and I are waiting for you here!"
The two of them talked in low voices, and soon Lu Chun'e fell asleep.
Xu Qingming's yard is on Wuguan Street, and the yard becomes bustling early in the morning.
Lu Dongping and Zhou Mingli went there early to help lay the carpet. The bright red carpet stretched from outside the door to the living room in the yard.
The kitchen here is quite big, but it is still not enough for the banquet. A temporary stove was set up in the backyard near the kitchen, and the chef we hired started working there at noon yesterday.
The old lady was dressed brightly today, sitting on the armchair in the living room, holding her precious pocket watch, glancing at it from time to time. As soon as it was ten o'clock, she started urging, "Where's Qingming? Are you ready? Hurry up, we can go now."
Things are different now than before. In the past, weddings were held in the evening, but now they are held earlier. The newlyweds have to enter the house no later than midnight.
Xu Qingming was dressed formally today, in a suit and tie, as were the other young men who had accompanied him to pick up the bride. A red flower graced his chest, and his eyes were always smiling whenever he spoke to anyone. The joy in his heart was like a flood of spring water, almost unable to be contained, ready to overflow.
There was no need for the old lady to urge him at all, he was also looking forward to the time coming.
There were three cars in total, Uncle Xu's car, Uncle Xu's car, and the Wen family's car, all with red flowers tied on them, taking Dandan and Yueyaer to pick up the bride.
Dandan was also wearing a black suit today, with a white shirt and a bow tie underneath, and Yueyaer was wearing a white gauze puffy skirt made by Wenwan. Both children had red dots on their eyebrows, which was so adorable.
If they drove, the distance between the two sides was not far, and Wen Wan and the others did not deliberately make things difficult for them. Xu Qingming put shoes on Li Laiyu and carried him directly to the wedding car outside the alley.
Wen Wan had done her hair and makeup today, not the trendy bridal makeup, just a light touch. After putting her hair up, she cut a few rose buds from a vase in the room and put them in her bun, then put on a veil.
Xu Qingming couldn't control his eyes along the way, stealing glances from time to time, and his hand was secretly trying to hook other people's hands.
Li Laiyu suppressed her laughter and gently scratched his palm with her backhand.
In order to prepare for the wedding, Xu Qingming had not lived in Tonghua Lane for almost a week, so how could he withstand her teasing?
Dandan sat in the back and whispered to Yueya: "Look at your uncle, he's not reserved at all, smiling like that. Hey, there are children around, he doesn't even know how to restrain himself."
Yueya is now a little beauty in the second grade. She has changed her teeth and her voice is a little lisp. She covers her mouth when she laughs. Only her beautiful eyes are really curved into crescent shapes.
By the time we reached Wulian Street, it was already bustling with activity.
The red carpet was rolled directly under the wedding car. Xu Qingming got out of the car, opened the door for Li Laiyu, took her hand and got out of the car, and firecrackers started to pop.
Li Lai Yu held the flowers Xu Qingming gave her in one hand, and her other hand was held by hers, and she walked into the yard following Xu Qingming's rhythm.
Following behind were the best man, bridesmaids and two flower girls holding flowers, who escorted them all the way to the wedding hall.
The yard was filled with people of all ages, men and women, all vying to see the bride.
The seventh son of the Xu family is not young anymore. He went to the countryside for five years and was delayed for a few more years after returning. It is said that he has very high standards. He didn't like any of the girls of the same age introduced to him.
His vision is indeed very high. Judging from the appearance of the bride, she is more than a match for him. The two of them walking side by side can truly be called a "match made in heaven".
"But I heard it's from a cave in the mountains over in Bashu."
"What's wrong with the mountains? He's also a top student at Hua University!"
The few discordant voices were quickly drowned out.
Li Lai Yu couldn't hear, she felt her heart beating very fast and she could hardly control it.
After showing up in the auditorium, recognizing their relationship and changing their words, and exchanging rings, Xu Qingming took Jiang to the bridal chamber, where Wen Wan and Chen Qiu Shuang were waiting for her.
She took off the wedding dress she had been wearing for a while, put on the bright red dress she had prepared, and then fixed her makeup before going to receive the guests.
From then on, she became a member of the Xu family.
Chen Dongshuang was very busy today. It was her first time to visit the Xu family. Although it was just Xu Qingming's home, there were many guests on this happy occasion, and they were all respectable people.
She was really nervous.
After the ceremony, the bride changed into her dress and went to give a toast, and she had to follow.
Round and round, without even being able to catch his breath.
Only after the newlyweds finished their work did she take a break.
Lu Donglin called her over there: "Shuangshuang!"
She lifted her skirt and trotted over: "Brother Donglin, are you done?"
"What am I busy with? I just came here today to eat and drink for free. As for you, I've noticed that you haven't stopped since this morning."
As he spoke, he subconsciously looked at the bottom of her feet.
Chen Dongshuang understood immediately: "I'm not wearing high heels. I thought about the pair I bought earlier and decided not to wear them. Luckily I didn't wear them, otherwise I would be in trouble today. If I didn't wear them properly, I would really make a fool of myself. But I really admire Sister Lai Yu, she is really amazing. The heels of those shoes must be so high and thin, how can she wear them all day long and still be so elegant and calm."
Lu Donglin also admires this.
"Are you done now?"
"Huh? I'll go ask and see if there's anything else."
Lu Donglin pulled her and said, "No need. There's a bench over there. Go sit for a while and I'll go ask around. If you don't have anything to do, then have dinner. We should go back after dinner."
The guests who had stayed before had all left one after another, and the ones left were those who were relatively close to the guests and stayed at the end.
Lu Donglin went to find Wen Wan. At this moment, Wen Wan was with Lu Chun'e and was talking to Xu's cousin.
Lu Donglin smiled politely at his cousin Xu, then called out to Wen Wan and Lu Chun'e, "Sister-in-law, sister, have you eaten?"
Wen Wan said, "Not yet? I asked Chun'e to go first, but she insisted on waiting for me."
"Is it okay now?"
"It's okay. Most people have left. The ones left are our family. Let's go find a table and sit down." After saying that, he belatedly called out, "Have you seen your brother? And Xiaoxue and the others, I don't know if they're seated yet."
Lu Donglin said, "I saw them. They ate and left. I saw my brother at that time, but I don't know where he is now."
Wen Wan nodded: "Okay, let's find a place to sit and eat something before going back."
Then he called Lu Chun'e, "You and Donglin go find a place to sit down. I'll go see where Donglin and Dandan are and come find you later."
Lu Chun'e responded and followed Lu Donglin to Chen Dongshuang.
"Sister Chun'e!"
Lu Chun'e looked at Chen Dongshuang and smiled: "Dongshuang looks really good today."
Chen Dongshuang also dressed up today as a bridesmaid. She wore a mid-length beige gauze dress that reached her calf. Her hair was simply tied up behind her head. Wen Wan also put on some light makeup.
The little girl is at the most vibrant age, and she will be radiant with a little grooming.
Chen Dongshuang was a little embarrassed by her praise: "Sister Yu is the most beautiful today."
"That's right. The rain today is really amazing. It's hard to take your eyes off it. They say a woman looks her best when she gets married, and it's really true."
As they were talking, Dandan came running over: "Aunt, uncle!"
Wen Wan and Lu Dongping were a few steps behind.
Lu Chun'e looked at the little red dot between Dandan's eyebrows and wanted to laugh: "Did Dandan eat it?"
"I ate it. I just ate it with Grandpa." After saying that, he gently pulled Lu Chun'e and waved at her. Lu Chun'e leaned over and heard him say, "Auntie, I'm not a child anymore. Can you please stop calling me Dandan, such a cute nickname?" Especially in public, it was detrimental to his masculinity. Yueya still called him Dandan today. It was so embarrassing. If other students knew about this, he would find a hole to crawl into.
Lu Chun'e chuckled: "Okay, Auntie will remember this. From now on, we are Lu Hongkang's little friends."
Dandan was finally satisfied and grinned, not caring at all about his missing front tooth. He was always confident that even if he had a missing tooth, he would still be handsome.
Wen Shihua and his uncle Wen had just finished their meal and were about to go back.
Uncle Wen had to take the old lady back home. There were nannies and doctors there. The old lady was old and could not recover easily. Staying here for such a long time was already the limit. She knew her situation and did not insist too much. Xu Qingming got married, and the younger generation of the Xu family had their own families. She felt relieved.
As for Wen Shihua, he had to take the eggs back. He took a day off today, so he had to practice early and go to school tomorrow as planned.
Zhou Mingli took Lu Chun'e and the old man of the Zhou family back to the compound.
Lu Dongping went to say hello to Uncle Xu San, then rode his 28-bar BMW and took his wife back to Tonghua Lane.
By the evening, Xu Qingming's yard had finally calmed down.
As night falls, everything has just begun.
