The following spring, today was the wedding day for Gu Moli and Su Xingran. Gu Moli, the groom, had only returned to Beijing yesterday afternoon. His family and Su Xingran's parents were extremely worried; the wedding was about to take place, and the groom still hadn't arrived.
Only Su Xingran remained calm. She had considered that if Gu Moli couldn't return due to a mission, she could attend the wedding alone tomorrow. It wasn't that she was particularly magnanimous, but for soldiers, missions are like battles—there are too many unknowns. Of course, she would feel regret, but as a soldier, the interests of the nation and the people come first.
Because of the pre-wedding rule against meeting beforehand, Gu Moli rushed home but couldn't see Su Xingran. He could only see her on the wedding day when he went to pick her up.
Su Xingran is getting married at the Huang family's house. The house she received as a reward, which Huang Zhenhua had cleaned and renovated, was still under her name. Su Xingran won't be moving in yet, so the furniture hasn't been purchased. Su Xingran and her husband, Su Guomin, believe that getting married at the Huang family's house is the most appropriate arrangement. Her master is like a father figure, but due to the large age gap, Su Xingran and Huang Zhenhua are more like grandfather and granddaughter.
Remembering the makeup artist's work on Xiao Xue's wedding, Su Xingran insisted on doing her own makeup and finding a woman who knew how to style her hair in a cheongsam to help her with the updo.
The Gu and Huang families were bustling with activity early in the morning. Liang Yun watched Gu Moli pacing back and forth, and she couldn't help but chuckle. Indeed, Moli had his eye on Xingran ever since she was eighteen. Now that Xingran was twenty-five, Moli was finally marrying her—no wonder he was so excited!
Liang Yun sighed with relief, thankfully Mo Li finally got his wish. Over the years, watching Xing Ran's seemingly indifferent attitude towards relationships, Liang Yun was worried for Mo Li. She didn't mind waiting a long time, but she feared he might end up single.
For Su Xingran's wedding, Su Guomin and his wife discussed with Su Xingran and invited Su Xingran's great-grandfather's family, her second great-grandfather's family, the village head, and the brigade leader. Except for those who couldn't attend due to work or school, everyone else who could come attended. Su Xingran asked Xiao Dingyu to buy train tickets for her relatives back home, as well as the village head and brigade leader.
Su Xingran's maternal grandparents, as well as her uncle and aunt, also came. They arrived by train with Su Guomin and his wife.
Because of Su Xingran, the town has taken great care of Sujia Village over the years. Last year, Su Xingran's surgery was documented and broadcast on television. Su Xingran became a famous doctor, and everything related to her was under scrutiny. Sujia Village is now a key village supported by the town, and since the Su family invited them to the wedding, the village chief and the brigade leader felt that they had to attend no matter what.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the woman who styled Su Xingran's hair was the owner of the cheongsam shop. Knowing it was for Dr. Su, the owner immediately agreed and didn't even ask for payment. In the end, Huang's eldest sister-in-law insisted on giving the owner a red envelope.
After her hair was styled, Su Xingran did her own makeup and changed into a cheongsam-style wedding dress. This was the first time everyone had seen Su Xingran in a cheongsam; she had never worn the one Liang Yun had given her in public before. Indeed, a woman is most beautiful on her wedding day.
Sister-in-law Liao Shishi joked, "Xingran is already pretty enough, but she's even more beautiful today with a little makeup on. Not to mention men, even I, a woman, am smitten. Mo Li is so lucky."
Immediately, the room erupted in laughter. The room was filled with women, and everyone agreed with Liao Shishi's assessment. Su Xingran looked truly beautiful today. They also remarked that in their own weddings, they had never dressed up so elaborately. Their weddings were always rather hasty, and their wedding attire was never this exquisite.
