When Li Quanfang saw that the situation was hopeless, he picked up the bayberry flowers on the ground and ran back to the room. Li Dong and his younger brother and sister had already been frightened and started crying.
When Li Dong's brothers and sisters saw their parents leave, they hurried to follow them. Li Dong wiped his tears and walked to Li Quanmin with some fear, apologizing: "Uncle, aunt, I'm sorry!"
Li Quanmin looked at his nephew, who had grown up following him around, and patted his head with a sad heart. He said, "It's okay. This is a matter between adults, none of your business! Come with your uncle later. We'll have dinner soon!"
Li Dong shook his head, pointed to their house, and then went home.
Accountant Li and his wife looked at this with a bitter taste in their mouths. Accountant Li patted He Lai Di's hand, then walked over to Wu Yuezhu and said, "Xiao Wu, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. It's getting late now. You should quickly take Quanmin home. You two should live a good life from now on!"
"Uncle, it's okay, as long as Quanmin lives with me sincerely and treats my family well. I can swear in front of everyone as a soldier that in the future, Quanmin will never shirk his obligations to you two as a son!" After saying that, he saluted Accountant Li. Wu Yuezhu was wearing a green military uniform that was about 80% new today. She looked heroic and had the spirit of a woman who was as good as a man.
"Good, good, it seems my son has met a noble person!" Accountant Li said happily, and He Lai Di felt much more comfortable.
Ever since Li Quanmin knew he was going to marry Wu Yuezhu, he felt a little shy every time he saw Wu Yuezhu. When he heard Wu Yuezhu's promise in public, his face became hot and his heart beat faster. He stared at Wu Yuezhu motionlessly, and it was only when Wu Yuezhu called him to leave that he reacted foolishly and sat on the back seat of the bicycle.
As soon as Wu Yuezhu and his group left, the people who had just gathered around started discussing, saying that Li Quanmin was lucky to have such a good marriage. Some people even went to congratulate Accountant Li and his wife directly. The anger that Accountant Li and his wife had felt towards Li Quanfang and his wife also subsided a lot.
Li Quanfang and his wife, who were in the house, leaned against the window sunshade to listen to the voices of the crowd. They snorted at the same time, and then asked Li Dong to bring his younger brother and sister to the banquet, but without giving them red envelopes. Li Dong refused to go no matter how Li Quanfang and his wife scolded him. If there weren't so many people outside the house, Li Dong would have been beaten again.
When Wu Yuezhu and his group returned to the Wu family, Wu Jianye hurried over to greet them and asked Wu Yuezhu, "Why did you take so long? It's already half past nine!"
Li Quanmin lowered his head guiltily. Wu Yuezhu replied, "Something delayed me for a moment. I'll tell you tonight. Let's go in first!"
"Yes, everyone, come in quickly, this is your home from now on!" Wu Jianye said quickly.
After welcoming Li Quanmin into the house, Luo Yao said goodbye to the Wu family. Wu Jianye went to the kitchen and saw that Liu's mother and the others had already prepared two dishes, so he asked Luo Yao to hurry up and eat first.
After dinner, Luo Yao rode Liu's bicycle to the commune. After arriving at the commune, she just parked it at Xuemei's workplace, and Xuemei would ride it back when she got off work.
Xuemei didn't ride her bike to work this morning because she was worried that Luo Yao would miss out, so she had to use her bicycle.
After Liu's mother prepared the meal, she went out to eat at the table, and the Liu family also gave gifts.
After finishing her meal, Liu's mother and another daughter-in-law who was helping in the kitchen washed the dishes for the Wu family and then left.
She went home with the red envelope Wu Yuezhu had given her. It contained seven yuan, five of which were a thank-you gift from the Wu family to the media. However, since Liu's mother received two yuan for each banquet she prepared, the Wu family was quite generous. The young wife who helped in the kitchen also received a twenty-cent red envelope.
As for leftovers at the banquet, don't even think about it. There generally aren't any leftovers nowadays. If there are leftovers, it's because the host deliberately made a little more and didn't serve them out. Leftover dishes usually contain meat. As for vegetables, just add a little to each table.
Generally, the host will give red envelopes to those who help out, and will not give out leftovers. For example, if relatives help each other, they may give out some leftovers to take home, but they will definitely not receive red envelopes.
Liu's father came back a little later than Liu's mother. He took a few young men from the village and returned the table and chairs borrowed from the Wu family. When he returned to the Liu family, he also moved his own table on the way.
After Wu Yuezhu and others had left, she brought a bowl of vegetables she had picked up earlier to Accountant Li's house. Accountant Li and his wife did not go to the Li family today, just like other people marrying off their daughters.
Wu Yuezhu's action made Accountant Li and his wife feel warm and satisfied with the marriage. Their youngest son now had someone to rely on and lived in the village, so it was easier for them to take care of him.
Accountant Li ate the dishes brought by Wu Yuezhu and drank two glasses of wine, while He Lai Di planned to collect the scraps of cloth and leftover fabric from making clothes at home to make a pair of shoes for Wu Jianye and Wu Xingqiao, as no one in the Wu family knew how to make shoes.
Xuemei didn't find out about Wu Yuezhu's wedding until she got home. Han Chen felt a pang of jealousy when he saw Wu Yuezhu and Li Quanmin had already held a wedding banquet in less than two weeks. Han Chen even joked to Xuemei privately, "Dr. Wu is really overtaking others!"
