She will never do it again in this lifetime.
"I'll have someone do your makeup," Wang Xiumei said happily as she went out to call.
Ran Jinnian looked at the things piled up in the room. The betrothal gifts given by the Lu family were very generous. They not only prepared four large items, but also gave three hundred yuan as betrothal money.
She was the youngest daughter in her family and was doted on by her parents, who prepared bedding, wooden boxes, wooden tables, basin stands, washbasins, and other necessities for her.
Red "double happiness" characters are pasted on the window.
The entire Ran family was filled with joy.
As the bride, Ran Jinnian's wedding dress today is a red satin gown.
"The bride is so beautiful and lovely," the auntie doing the makeup said sincerely.
Ran Jinnian is fair-skinned, beautiful, charming, and lively; she is a well-known beauty in the tenement buildings of West Street.
Her black hair was tied up with red pearl silk, and her light makeup amplified her beauty, making her look like a delicate and beautiful flower.
"The groom is here! The groom is here!" someone shouted.
While everyone was surrounding the groom, Wang Xiumei quickly took out six hundred yuan and gave it to Ran Jinnian: "Girl, three hundred of this six hundred yuan is the bride price from the Lu family, and the other three hundred is your dowry money from your parents. Please keep it safe."
"mom."
Ran Jinnian's eyes reddened slightly. Her parents and family truly loved her, but she was blind in her past life.
Wang Xiumei's eyes also reddened. She held Ran Jinnian's hand tightly, feeling extremely reluctant to part.
"Bride, the groom is here."
When Ran Jinnian looked up, she saw the man dressed in a neat military uniform, his military cap worn squarely, looking dashing and heroic.
His face was stern, his brows were strikingly handsome, and his whole being was like ice in winter, inspiring awe in those who looked upon him.
The man wore a large red flower on his chest, which softened his resolute face.
Lu Jinyuan's gaze swept through the crowd to the beautiful, shy bride. He strode up to her, took her hand, and said in a cold voice, "I'm here, don't be afraid."
The two stood together, one handsome and the other beautiful.
The crowd erupted in excitement.
Ran Jin thought back to when she was eight years old, she was almost kidnapped.
Little Lu Jinyuan chased away the bad guys and stood in front of her: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Her face flushed slightly as she let him lead her outside.
Everyone cheered behind the couple, and relatives carried wedding items to the bride, making the scene very lively.
Lu Jinyuan held her small hand firmly in his large hand, and the two went out together.
Just then, a ray of sunlight shone down, illuminating the two of them.
"Come, come, bride and groom, look here."
The photographer picked up his camera and took a picture of the young couple.
The Ran family's house was just upstairs from the Lu family's house, but the wedding procession couldn't be rushed, so the young couple went downstairs for a walk.
This is not only a way for neighbors to send their blessings, but also a way to show everyone the groom's sincerity and the bride's dowry.
The entire tenement building was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
"The Lu family is really rich and powerful. They not only gave four large gifts, but also a dowry of three hundred."
"Oh dear, it's a pity they didn't take a liking to my daughter."
"The Ran family isn't bad either; all their dowry items were brand new, and they even gave us a lot of bedding."
"I heard the officiant is the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau. This wedding is really high-profile."
Everyone looked on with envy.
The Lu family.
This wasn't Ran Jinnian's first visit, but this time was different; she had become a daughter-in-law of the Lu family.
Lu's mother sat in the main seat, smiling from ear to ear.
Ran Jinnian was someone she had watched grow up since she was a child, and she had always liked her very much. She never expected that one day she would become her daughter-in-law.
"The bride serves tea."
Ran Jinnian accepted the tea and knelt reverently on the ground to offer it to Lu's mother.
"Alright, alright." Lu Jinyuan helped Ran Jinnian up without making a sound as soon as Lu's mother took a sip of her drink.
Ran Jinnian noticed his actions and felt a slight warmth in her heart.
After she finished serving the tea, the wedding ceremony was considered complete.
"You must be exhausted. Take a rest first." Lu Jinyuan pulled her into the bridal chamber.
