The previously quiet and peaceful atmosphere at the guesthouse entrance was instantly shattered. A large group of people surged in, creating a truly lively scene! Everyone's face beamed with undisguised joy, as if some momentous occasion had befallen them. Some even eagerly approached the service desk, excitedly asking, "Which room is the bride in? We came especially to knock on the door for the groom!"
At this moment, the staff member in charge of reception couldn't help but recall the thick red envelope that Qian Gui had secretly slipped to him earlier. He was secretly delighted and quickly raised his hand to point upstairs, saying loudly, "He's on the second floor!" Hearing this, several people from Beian Village looked up and saw Qian Gui standing straight at the corner of the second floor, waiting for them with a smile on his face.
Seeing this, everyone disregarded the scrambling and rushed upstairs like a swarm of bees. Just as they stepped onto the stairs, they heard Qian Mao's loud and expectant voice: "Wife, I've come to take you home!" This shout was like a fuse igniting the atmosphere, and the group that had just come up immediately joined in the commotion, with shouts echoing throughout the entire stairwell.
Qian Duoduo stood inside the house with a grin, teasing Zhang Muyao beside her, "Third Sister-in-law, look at this scene, all the sisters are waiting for you to decide whether to open the door or not!" As she spoke, she winked mischievously.
Zhang Muyao blushed slightly at Qian Duoduo's expression and lowered her head shyly. She said softly, "Alright, don't make your brother anxious." Upon hearing this, Qian Duoduo immediately clapped his hands and excitedly shouted to Wang Dan and Wang Shuang, "Alright, the bride has spoken, let the groom in! Let's move on to the next step!" Hearing this, Wang Dan and Wang Shuang smiled and readily opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, everyone was eager to see the beautiful bride. However, out of respect for Qian Mao, no one dared to step past him, and could only watch longingly from behind. After Qian Mao entered the house, the others followed suit. Only then did everyone truly see the bride's face, and they couldn't help but gasp in amazement.
The bride was stunningly beautiful, like a fairy descended from heaven. No wonder Qian Mao had kept his wife hidden; such a beautiful wife would surely be unseen by anyone else. Amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the crowd, Qian Mao carefully handed the bouquet to Zhang Muyao, his eyes filled with love. Then, he bent down slightly and gently lifted Zhang Muyao into his arms, his movements tender yet firm.
Their eyes met, and Qian Mao smiled and whispered in Zhang Muyao's ear, "Wife, let's go home!" After saying that, he strode out of the room and got into the car amidst the envious gazes of everyone.
Qian Gui saw Wang Dan and Wang Shuang get into the tractor, glanced back at Qian Mao, and said, "What's Duo Duo doing?" Just as he finished speaking, he saw Qian Duo Duo come out carrying a small bag, sit in the passenger seat very consciously, and then said, "Brother Qian Gui, let's go."
The car drove smoothly back to Beian Village. Qian Mao held Zhang Muyao's hand and asked gently, "Are you still nervous this time?"
Zhang Muyao replied with a smile, "I'm nervous this time too. Last time, my parents were with me, so I felt more confident. But this time, facing my in-laws, I'm more nervous than excited." Her voice carried a hint of shyness, and her face was filled with a happy smile.
Qian Mao gently patted her hand, showing understanding and comfort. As the car moved forward, they gradually left the hustle and bustle of the county town and entered a quiet country road. The scenery outside the window kept changing, with lush green trees and vibrant fields. Zhang Muyao looked out the window, her mood gradually relaxing, and she began to look forward to the new life that was about to begin.
Qian Yi'an has grown into a young man, tall and upright with fair skin, clearly a city dweller. The villagers all say that city life is good for people, and Qian Yi'an has inherited the Qian family's tall genes. He had been instructed by his grandmother to watch for Uncle Qian Mao's car at the village entrance. Suddenly, his eyes lit up as a car slowly drove into the village. His eyes lit up again, and he excitedly ran after it, shouting, "Grandma, Uncle and the others are back! Grandma, Uncle and the others are back!"
Jin Jinxiu heard Qian Yi'an shouting at the top of his lungs from afar, a joyful smile on his face. She immediately responded loudly, "You're back! Hurry up and get everything arranged!" With that, she strode towards the courtyard, ready to welcome her son and daughter-in-law home.
He Ying grabbed Jin Jinxiu and teased her with a smile, "Oh dear, look at how rushed you are! Don't rush off. Go and tidy your clothes, your wife will be serving tea soon!" Upon hearing this, Jin Jinxiu suddenly realized and quickly slapped her forehead before turning and walking into the house.
At that moment, Qian Sheng was surrounded by a group of villagers, feeling very pleased with themselves as they praised their sons and Qian Duoduo. Hearing Jin Jinxiu's call, he quickly responded, then smiled apologetically at his fellow villagers and said, "Brothers, I'll go check things out first, and we'll chat again later." With that, he strode towards his wife's location.
Watching Qian Sheng's departing figure, Qian Cai couldn't help but shake his head with a smile, saying to the villagers around him, "That old rascal, as soon as he hears his wife calling him, he runs faster than a rabbit." The villagers around him all joined in the laughter.
Upon entering the courtyard, Qian Sheng immediately spotted He Ying standing in the center, directing everyone in place of Jin Jinxiu. Everyone followed her instructions, working efficiently and methodically to set up the area.
With a smile on his face, Qian Sheng walked towards He Ying and asked curiously, "Sister-in-law, Jinxiu was clearly here just now, how come she disappeared in the blink of an eye?"
He Ying replied cheerfully, "Your third son is about to return with his wife. Aren't you going to hurry back and tidy up your clothes? You need to be presentable when the new bride serves tea later, right?"
Qian Sheng suddenly realized and quickly nodded in agreement. His elder sister-in-law was like a mother to him, and today he only needed to obediently follow her instructions.
Just then, Qian Cai walked over and gently patted Qian Sheng on the shoulder, teasingly saying, "You're just a supporting character today, so be sure to do your best. Consider it a rehearsal for Duo Duo's wedding."
Qian Sheng nodded and replied, "Don't worry, when my daughter Duoduo gets married, I will definitely do my best. Consider it as giving Duoduo some experience."
