The backyard of the Yan family was filled with all kinds of dowry items covered with red paper.
They stopped all the way from the inner gate to the outer gate.
Everything is different.
Everything is precious.
For example, the small-leaf sandalwood cabinet and box with golden patterns are all the same color, without even being painted, and they radiate an exquisite light.
If it weren't for the woody scent emanating from the cabinet, they would have thought it was some kind of antique.
Upon hearing that it was newly built by a carpenter, everyone looked on in shock.
But that's not all.
A new car was also included in the dowry!
After all that, the amount was at least 30,000, and probably at least 50,000.
Where would Xu Manzhi, a country girl, get the money?
There are many military family members in the compound, including elderly people and a group of older women, who are gathered together gossiping and chattering away.
Until a man who collects spices accidentally points out Xu Manzhi's miraculous luck, which leads to the discovery of a pile of priceless fragrant wood in Haicheng...
The older woman's eyes revealed envy.
She exclaimed, her voice tinged with sarcasm, "Wow, this girl's ideas are really good. If I had even one of those qualities, I wouldn't be so miserable after marriage."
"The groom is here!"
Someone shouted.
Just then, a Dongfeng truck rumbled in.
A large red flower was hanging on the front of the car.
After the car door opened, Yan Lin stepped out of the passenger seat. Dressed in military uniform and wearing a military cap, his tall and imposing figure stood out in the crowd.
He had a red flower pinned to his chest.
The usually cold man softened his features and melted his gaze at this moment, exuding joy in every gesture.
He strode into the house.
Then, one car after another drove up.
Soldiers disembarked from large trucks and waited at the gate, while only a small wedding party entered the courtyard with Yan Lin.
Zou Xiaozhou took the lead.
As soon as they entered, Yang Fen and a group of female soldiers guarded the door, shouting loudly, "If you want to go in, do a hundred push-ups on the spot."
Ye Yunzhu also joined the bridesmaids.
She shouted the loudest.
Other female soldiers also stepped in to intercept the wedding procession.
"Everyone—"
At Yan Lin's command, the squad members stood by and waited.
“Do 100 push-ups on the spot to show them our sincerity,” he said.
"yes!"
With a sudden lunge, the well-trained soldiers all dropped to the ground and began doing push-ups on the spot.
Yan Lin wasn't idle either.
He was faster and more powerful than anyone else, and he was also the first to get up.
After completing one hundred, he immediately rushed inside.
Little did they know, Ye Yunzhu and the others were no pushovers either. They linked arms, formed a formation, and charged forward, laughing and shouting, "200 high knees in place!"
Zou Xiaozhou looked bitter.
This woman is too cruel! Is she deliberately trying to make them weak and unable to pick up the bride?
Is it really necessary to torture someone like this?
But with Yan Lin taking the lead, how could they disobey?
Just as the third round was about to begin, Yan Xiaoyu rushed out and whispered in Ye Yunzhu's ear, "Sister Manzhi told you to let them in—"
puff.
Ye Yunzhu couldn't help but laugh.
It was a rare opportunity to see the commander of the heroic battalion of the military region make a fool of himself, and Xu Manzhi, wholeheartedly protecting her man, couldn't wait to take advantage of it.
While she was still pondering, Yan Xiaoyu slipped something into her hand. When she picked it up, she discovered it was a bottle of fragrant cream labeled "shampoo."
The aroma is enticing.
It is captivating.
Unable to resist Xu Manzhi's persistence, Ye Yunzhu smiled and called to the group of female soldiers, "Alright, we accept the sincerity of the Heroic Battalion, so we won't make things difficult for you. Go and pick up the bride."
Yan Lin rushed into the house like a gust of wind.
"Charge! Go get your sister-in-law!"
With a shout from Zou Xiaozhou, the originally orderly team burst into a roar, following Yan Lin as if a race had begun and the runners were sprinting.
Everyone rushed into the house.
Yan Lin was the first.
He was also holding a bunch of wildflowers he had picked from the countryside, tied with a blade of grass, and they were still fresh from the way he had come...
As soon as she entered the room, Xu Manzhi tried to get up, but Yan Xiaoyu stopped her.
"elder sister--"
She suddenly took out an apple and stuck a stick on top of it.
"I have a new trick: you two have to eat this apple before your brother-in-law can carry you down," Yan Xiaoyu said with a mischievous smile.
She heard that this is popular now...
Xu Manzhi and Yan Lin were always very affectionate, and she had seen it many times. Now was a good opportunity to let everyone see it.
"Nonsense!" Yan Song scolded.
He told Yan Xiaoyu not to do anything reckless, as making such a scene would embarrass the young couple.
Yang Fen also advised, "Xiaoyu, things are different here than outside. Don't overdo it."
Yan Xiaoyu, who had been scolded, immediately lost her spirit.
Just as she was about to take the apple back, Xu Manzhi smiled and said, "No, I like this game, so you'd better be quick."
Yan Xiaoyu's eyes lit up.
She exclaimed excitedly, "Sister, do you want to play?"
"Um."
Xu Manzhi nodded.
She wanted to create countless memories and fill Yan Lin's world, so naturally she wouldn't miss any opportunity to publicly show affection for him.
Yan Lin stiffened his neck slightly.
He wasn't afraid.
He had kissed Xu Manzhi in private, but in public... it was a different story.
He was quite embarrassed.
But Xu Manzhi was in high spirits, and he didn't want to disappoint her, so he stepped forward and stood still, saying, "Are you ready? Let's begin—"
