The next day, when Gu Jianing went outside, he heard people in the village talking about how Bao Shanyan had taken Wen Zhuqing to the county town to take photos and get their marriage certificate.
It seems that Bao Shanyan did listen to her words.
It seemed that the scumbag Wen Zhuqing was temporarily solved. Gu Jianing's life became more peaceful after that, and she officially entered the stage of waiting to get married.
During this period, Huaihua Village was bustling for two days because of the year-end pig slaughtering and pork distribution.
Of the 9 pigs, 5 were finally handed over to the commune, and the remaining 4 were all slaughtered. On the same day, every household in the village received pork.
During those two days, the chimneys of every household in Huaihua Village were filled with the aroma of meat.
As the excitement passed, the day for Gu Jianing to get married arrived.
The Gu family ate half of the pork they were given two days ago, and used the other half at today's wedding banquet. The second brother went up the mountain to hunt some pheasants and rabbits, so there were vegetables, and they could just exchange them with other families in the village.
It was a rare good day. Although it was winter and very cold, the sun came out early in the morning. The gossips and ladies who were on good terms with the Gu family came early in the morning light and went to the kitchen to help prepare dishes for today's banquet. Everyone was talking and laughing.
As the bride, Gu Jianing also got up early and dressed herself up in the room.
The red woolen coat shows off her complexion and figure very well. Gu Jianing bought it in the system mall using her points.
Red fabric was very precious in that era.
Especially woolen coats that are made into ready-made clothes are hard to come by.
Even if you go to a department store in the provincial capital, it is basically impossible to buy it. After all, red is a festive color and a color that everyone wants.
As for the origin of this coat.
Gu Jianing told the Gu family that it was sent by Sheng Zexi.
And if Sheng Zexi asked about it later, he would say that it was prepared by Gu's family.
Before, Sheng Zexi came to take her to buy a wedding dress, but after driving to the provincial capital, he still couldn't find a suitable one.
That’s why Gu Jianing bought it in the redemption mall.
These things needed for food, clothing, housing and transportation are sold very cheaply in the mall.
Not only did she buy the red woolen coat, she also bought a set of modern cosmetics.
Today is her wedding day, in front of so many people. It is also the day she is reborn and embarking on a new life, so naturally she wants to be beautiful.
So, she rejected the idea of her elder sister-in-law and some young ladies in the village to help her dress up.
This makeup must not be seen by others.
Gu Jianing is very skilled at putting on makeup and she finished it in half an hour. She also needed to do her hair. She didn't plan to tie her hair up, but to braid it and make a princess hairstyle.
No man can resist a woman's princess hairstyle.
As time passed, the smell of food from the kitchen became more and more fragrant, and villagers who came to attend the banquet arrived one after another.
After giving money and saying blessings, everyone had a happy face.
This time, the Gu family invited almost everyone in the village. Except for one or two educated youth from the educated youth site who were good friends with the Gu family and had never said anything bad about Gu Jianing, they were also invited, such as the shy young man Lu Weixian and another female educated youth who was quiet, worked hard, and went to the countryside earlier.
The female educated youth had given up on returning to the city. She had recently fallen in love with a young man from a family in Huaihua Village and had already gotten engaged. She was planning to get married in a few days, so she could bring him home for a family reunion during the New Year.
As the sound of the jeep got closer, the children who saw it from afar ran over with joy and excitement to report the news.
"Here he comes, here he comes, the military officer groom is here to pick up his bride."
Many people heard about it and came out to see it.
The jeep stopped at the door of Gu's house, the door opened, and a man in a neat military uniform, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, walked out with long legs.
Grandpa Sang and Grandma Sang, we are here today to witness our grandson getting married. We have been staying in the hotel and were reluctant to go back, just to wait for this day.
After Sheng Zexi got off the car, they were also helped down.
"Today is the day when I, Sheng Zexi, get married. My fellow villagers, everyone can have some wedding candy and be happy." Sheng Zexi took out several bags of candy that he had prepared earlier, and when Grandpa Sang and Grandma Sang came home, he started handing out wedding candy at the door.
Anyone who says a blessing, whether old or young, can eat candy.
Sheng Zexi was not stingy and gave several to each person.
Candy is a scarce commodity in this day and age. Everyone loves it, especially children.
So, the little kids kept saying auspicious words, and some of them, who were only one or two years old and couldn't speak clearly, saw that their older brothers and sisters were eating candies.
He also stuttered and said something auspicious in front of Sheng Zexi, his big eyes staring at the candy in Sheng Zexi's hand. When Sheng Zexi stuffed the candy into his hand, the child immediately showed a smile with only a mouthful of small teeth, and showed off to his grandmother beside him, "Sugar, sugar, sweet~"
After all the bags of candies were distributed, Sheng Zexi also entered the Gu family.
I saw Gu Jianing coming out of the room in a fiery red dress.
The moment Gu Jianing came out, everyone exclaimed.
Beautiful, so beautiful!
Bright and charming, cute and lovely, like a burning flame, jumping in everyone's heart and warming the whole winter.
"Our Ningning is even prettier than the girls in the city. I have never seen anyone prettier than her."
"That's right. Even those female educated youth from the city can't compare to me."
"No wonder Officer Sheng is so concerned about it."
"Our Ningning and Officer Sheng are exactly that, how do you say that?"
The shy Lu Weixian also saw Gu Jianing coming out, and was stunned for a moment, then he subconsciously added, "A talented man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven."
"Yes, that's what I mean. A talented man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven. Xiaolu Zhiqing, you are really well-educated."
After being praised, Lu Weixian blushed, but his eyes were bright.
Gu Jianing's hand was held by Old Man Gu and placed on Sheng Zexi's big palm.
"Xiao Xi, my Ningning is now handed over to you. You must take good care of her. If you dare to treat her badly, our entire Gu family will not agree and will not let you go." Old Man Gu's eyes were red.
As the head of the family and the pillar of the family, Father Gu has always been more reserved and not very good at expressing himself.
But it is undeniable that the person he loved the most was his daughter Gu Jianing.
Now, the daughter he has raised for 17 years is about to get married, and he is reluctant to let her go.
Only his wife knew that he had been suffering from insomnia at night recently. Thinking that his precious daughter was about to get married and would follow the army to the northwest, and that he might not see her once a year, he felt sad and cried secretly several times. But he didn't need to tell Ningning about all this.
