Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the 25th. Early in the morning, a lot of people gathered outside the gate of the educated youth site. They looked at the red double happiness on the gate of the educated youth site and congratulated with laughter. As the person in charge, Guan Chuan took Xu Zhizhou and He Jiefang to receive the villagers out of a sense of responsibility.
The table in the yard was filled with wedding candies, melon seeds, peanuts and other snacks that Huo Yang had sent in advance. Perhaps it was because Huo Yang had given the order in advance, or perhaps it was because they wanted to share in the good fortune, but everyone accepted all the candies from the villagers, and anyone could grab a handful to share in the good fortune. This made the children in the village very happy. You know, candies are only available during the Chinese New Year, and brothers and sisters would share one candy.
"The groom is here," followed a loud shout from the crowd, and Huo Yang, wearing a red flower, made a brilliant appearance. His clean and tidy military green Zhongshan suit was tailored just right, making Huo Yang's figure look taller and stronger. The girls and aunts in the village were envious of Du Jiang who was about to go out.
"Brother Huo is here," Guan Chuan rushed to the front and waved to Huo Yang in a familiar manner, "You've really come early. You must want to welcome your wife home earlier."
"Ha ha ha ha"
Upon hearing this, the crowd burst into laughter. Huo Yang couldn't help but blush, and the expression on his face changed from serious and solemn to shy and timid.
Huo Yang didn't respond. He took out a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes from his pocket and handed it to Guan Chuan, saying, "Go and get some cigarettes." Then he stepped over the threshold and walked towards Du Jiang's door.
Guan Chuan, who was attracted by the smoke, also reacted at this time. He looked at the Daqianmen in his hand and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This trick of diverting attention was really used very well. Without Guan Chuan blocking the door, Huo Yang came to Du Jiang's door smoothly. "Du Jiang, I'm here to pick you up. Let's go home."
As the door swung open, Du Jiang, also wearing a big red flower, stood in front of the door, graceful and elegant. Although she had only slightly drawn her eyebrows, she looked particularly charming in Huo Yang's eyes today. He couldn't help but say again, "Du Jiang, let's go home."
Yes, going home, separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and separated by time and years, they finally meet again and stay together again.
"Okay, let's go home." Du Jiang's voice was slightly choked, but she still firmly placed her hand in Huo Yang's palm. The slight tremor was then held tightly by Huo Yang the next second.
The warmth made Du Jiang feel a little more at ease.
Facing the rising sun, stepping on the solid ground, with the villagers cheering and the children clapping and laughing on both sides of the road, the two-minute distance was forced to feel like thousands of years by the young couple.
When they came to their senses again, Du Jiang and Huo Yang were already standing in the yard taking their oaths, becoming husband and wife in the presence of Du Siming and Old Mrs. Huo.
The moment she was sent into the bridal chamber, Du Jiang cheered when she saw Du Yingying outside the door. The crowd was like the sea, and their eyes met in the air and then moved away from each other. Du Jiang nodded slightly, and then slowly walked into the east room with the support of Yu Chunxiao.
"She still married him," Du Yingying, who rushed over after hearing the news, stood in the crowd feeling lost.
"What's wrong?" Xu Zhizhou stood beside Du Yingying, looking at her lost expression with some confusion. "Are you feeling unwell?"
"It's okay," Du Yingying shook her head. "I'm just happy for her, Governor. I'm very happy, really happy." Perhaps to prove that she was indeed happy, Du Yingying's lips pulled up widely. Governor Xu had no doubt about it. "I'm happy for them too, Yingying, let's get married too. When the time comes, I'll discuss with Du Jiang about buying her house."
"Okay," Du Yingying smiled when she heard that, and reached out her hand hidden under her sleeve towards Xu Zhizhou.
The warmth and delicacy of the female voice made Xu Zhizhou blush, but he still shook hands firmly and said, "We will be happy too," which was both a promise and a vow.
At this time, Du Jiang was sitting alone in the room, flipping through the letters and documents that Du Siming had given her. She looked indifferent, as if she was just reading a piece of paper that had nothing to do with her.
Perhaps it was because her parents had a shallow bond, and her former gratitude and longing had now turned into nothingness. The guilt and the sense of being entrusted with the care of her children were nothing but her wild imaginations. She had never been considered by Zhuang Xiangqiao and Du's father, and the deep father-daughter love that Du's father expressed on the phone was nothing but her wishful thinking. I think those sweet words were probably meant to prevent her from harboring resentment towards them, or even to remind her of her parents' selfless dedication when the other party made any requests in the future.
Thinking of this, Du Jiang shook his head and folded the letter again. As for the adoption document, he read it carefully several times. It must be said that the black and white words on it were very delicate, so delicate that one could not find a single fault.
When Huo Yang finished entertaining the guests and brought in the food, Du Jiang was still holding the document in her hand, and it was even rolled up in the corner.
Huo Yang pretended not to see her. He walked over and placed the dinner tray on the bedside table. Then he walked over and pulled the document from Du Jiang's hand. "Eat something first. You haven't eaten anything this morning."
Looking up at Huo Yang's eyes filled with worry and heartache, Du Jiang smiled, "I'm fine. How did you come in? Is the banquet outside ready?"
"Well, the meal has started. Grandma and Wuchuan are in charge of the cooking. We'll eat early today. After we finish eating, we'll go next door to help build the yard." Huo Yang carefully folded the documents and placed them on a shelf beside him, then pulled Du Jiang to sit down at the table.
Looking at the three side dishes and a bowl of white rice on the plate, Du Jiang glanced at Huo Yang in surprise, "This is today's wedding dinner."
"What are you thinking about? The white rice is prepared for you, and there are dumplings underneath." Huo Yang stuffed the chopsticks into Du Jiang's hand. "You eat first and I'll go out. Come back after everyone leaves. The water is in the thermos and the cups are on the shelf." Huo Yang pointed at the layout of the room and introduced it to Du Jiang one by one. "And I've also cleaned out the wardrobe. You can hang your clothes in there later. I'll take you to make a few more sets in the spring. I think you'll just rotate between the two sets."
The nagging words were a bit long-winded, but they warmed up Du Jiang's desolate heart, which slowly sprouted. He was no longer so stiff and nodded obediently following Huo Yang's words, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Huo Yang reached out and rubbed Du Jiang's hair a few times, making the fine hair on her head puff up slightly, and then let go. "You eat first. I'll go outside to receive guests. Grandpa is not suitable for this."
Thinking of Old Man Huo's wrinkled but extremely serious face, Du Jiang nodded in agreement, "Then go quickly and don't let the guests laugh at you."
"Okay, let's eat quickly." Looking at the steaming food, Huo Yang urged Du Jiang to pick up his chopsticks quickly. He didn't get up and leave until Du Jiang started eating.
