My second uncle treated it like a grand wedding for his daughter. Red paper was pasted on the trees along the village streets, and even the old ox was tied with red ribbons. A red carpet was laid out in front of his house, making it a lively and festive occasion.
Compared to my second great-uncle's family, the Qiao family was quite deserted.
The Lu family sent someone over early in the morning to make sure Qiao Shanshan wore white today. Qiao Sheng and Liang Xiu originally planned to fool them, since everyone wears white when they get married, but Lu's mother was determined not to let Qiao Shanshan have an easy time.
Her son hasn't come back; maybe it was Josh Shank.
If she dared not wear it, Lu's mother would immediately report the marriage exchange to the military region. Anyway, her son had already accepted Wanyue as his wife, so what did it matter to her what happened to Qiao Shanshan?
The Qiao family had to swallow their anger. Qiao Sheng had no other choice but to choose a wedding dress. Yes, a wedding dress. If he really wore white, he would really lose face.
It was Qiao Shanshan's idea to wear a wedding dress. Lu's mother didn't want her to wear white, so she wore a wedding dress instead. The wedding dress belonged to her sister-in-law. She originally wanted to buy it herself, but after that incident, she decided to use the one her sister-in-law had brought back.
The Lu family smiled when they saw Qiao Shanshan in her white wedding dress.
Qiao Shanshan thought she was amazed by her own beauty. So what if she was wearing white? Qiao Wanyue didn't even have a wedding dress. Wouldn't that be even more embarrassing? Besides, this was the most popular wedding dress in the city.
A slight smile played on her lips. "Is Lu Yunzhou back?"
The Lu family members frowned.
"none of your business."
Qiao Shanshan took it as him being embarrassed and angry, and felt even better.
Just like in his previous life, Lu Yunzhou can never come back.
Qiao Shanshan stood in the courtyard, watching people come and go, and couldn't help but smile.
Qiao Shanshan is determined to be a superior person in her life.
Firecrackers crackled in the village, and children's shouts echoed from time to time. Everywhere was filled with joy. Sitting in her house, Qiao Shanshan looked out the window, her heart and eyes brimming with anticipation for the future.
She had made up her mind. So what if she didn't have a job? In two years, she and her brother Huaiyuan would take the college entrance exam together. They were both smart and would definitely pass on their first try. She would become a professor in the future.
Pfft
Enjoy the good life, and you can't help but laugh in the end.
Everyone in the Qiao family, except for Qiao Shanshan, had a worried look on their faces.
The large suitcases they used to make a show of things have now gone missing. After reporting the situation to the police, they were only told to search the house. Liang Xiu was furious. Her daughter was about to leave, and they couldn't even find a single quilt.
Second Uncle's Family
The Lu family arrived as promised. The person who came to greet the bride was Lu Yunzhou's cousin, who was wearing a Zhongshan suit and stood at the door of his second great-uncle's house.
He clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Fellow elders and brothers of the Qiao family, I am from the Lu family of Xiahe Village. Due to special circumstances, my son Yunzhou has encountered an urgent matter in the military and is unable to attend the wedding today."
"I have been entrusted by Lu Rong, daughter of the Lu family, and Lu Yunzhou's mother, to come and marry Qiao Wanyue, daughter of the Qiao family." After he finished speaking, he bowed to his second uncle in gratitude.
According to the traditional ceremony, this bow is not performed.
However, the Lu family gave them ample face by inviting the most authoritative elder in the clan.
He even invited one of Lu Yunzhou's close friends to help with the wedding.
Second Uncle smiled and stroked his beard, "To protect the country, there must be a country before there can be a home. Today, our daughter Qiao Wanyue is marrying Lu Yunzhou, a young man from the Lu family. May they live a long and happy life together, and enjoy wealth and prosperity."
"Rise!" Second Uncle waved his hand.
Immediately, the sound of gongs and drums filled the air.
"Qiao Wanyue, daughter of the Qiao family, is getting married!" Second Uncle shouted again.
Aunt Peach Blossom helped Qiao Wanyue, who was dressed in a bright red wedding gown, step out the door. Since they were not from the same clan, they abandoned the usual custom of leaving home, bid farewell to their relatives, and then got into a sedan chair and left.
The Lu family honor guard departed.
Qiao Family
Liang Xiu informed the Yang family in advance, insisting that they do so before the Lu family, and not later.
