The next day, when Gu Jianing went outside, he heard people in the village talking about Bao Shanyan taking Wen Zhuqing to the county town to take photos and get the marriage certificate.
It seems that Bao Shanyan took her words to heart.
It seemed that the scumbag Wen Zhuqing had been temporarily dealt with. 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 eventually 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 to make up the difference, so there were some dishes, which they could just exchange with other families in the village.
This day was a rare good day. Although it was winter and very cold, the sun came out early in the morning. The aunts and uncles who were on good terms with the Gu family came early in the morning light and went to the Gu family's 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 cloth is very precious in this 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 asks later, just say that it was prepared by the Gu 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.
She not only bought the red woolen coat, but also 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 embarks on a new life, so naturally she wants to be beautiful.
So, she rejected the idea of her sister-in-law and some young ladies in the village to help her dress up.
This makeup can't be seen by others.
Gu Jianing is very skilled at putting on makeup and she finished it in half an hour. She also had 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 the villagers who came to attend the banquet arrived one after another.
After giving money as gifts 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 Weixin and another female educated youth who was quiet, worked hard, and went to the countryside early.
The female educated youth has given up on returning to the city. She recently fell in love with a young man from a family in Huaihua Village and has become engaged. She plans to get married in a few days, so she can bring him home for a family reunion during the New Year.
As the sound of the jeep came closer and closer, the children who saw it from afar ran over cheering and excitedly to report the news.
"Here he comes, here he comes, the officer groom is here to pick up his bride."
Many people heard it and came out to see.
The jeep stopped in front of the Gu family's door, opened, and a man in a neat military uniform with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes walked out with long legs.
Grandpa Sang and Grandma Sang, you are here today to witness your grandson getting married. You have been staying in a 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 a few bags of candy that he had prepared earlier. When Grandpa Sang and Grandma Sang entered the Gu family, he distributed 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, and 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 could not speak clearly, saw that their older brothers and sisters were eating candies.
He also stumbled and said something vague and auspicious in front of Sheng Zexi, his big eyes fixed on 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~"
All the bags of candies that were brought were distributed, and 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 him."
"No wonder Officer Sheng is so concerned about it."
"Our Ningning and Officer Sheng are exactly that, what is that word?"
The shy Lu Weixian also saw Gu Jianing coming out, and was stunned for a moment, then 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."
Lu Weixian blushed when he was praised, 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 backbone of the family, Old Man Gu has always been more reserved and not very good at expressing himself.
But it is undeniable that the person he loves the most is 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. He felt sad when he thought about his precious daughter getting married and then joining the army in the northwest, and that he might not see her once in the whole year. He cried secretly several times, but he didn't need to tell Ningning about all this.
