Even He Ye was so happy that she jumped up and down, shouting "Long live brother-in-law!"
Xiao Weiguo stepped forward and presented the flowers, which Liu Ye accepted with a smile.
There were no many words, only a quiet smile. Shy yet expectant, like a white lotus in full bloom.
Xiao Weiguo leaned down and whispered something in her ear.
"Come on, darling, I'll take you home."
As she spoke, she picked up Liu Ye with both hands and held her in her arms in the standard princess carry position before going out and walking downstairs.
Liu Erzhu and Wang Guirong, along with a group of relatives, also went downstairs.
Cars were already prepared downstairs, and ten or twenty strong young men from the bride's family carried a large amount of dowry items onto the cars, and the brides got in as well.
Traditionally, the bride's dowry is carried by two people on their shoulders as they return with the wedding procession.
However, that only applies when the wedding party is entirely on foot or driving an oxcart.
Even if these young men ran their legs off, they couldn't keep up with a line of large cars like Xiao Weiguo's wedding procession.

Just as I turned the corner of the alley leading to his house, the deafening sound of firecrackers rang out again. The suona horns were not to be outdone, their screeching and wailing making everyone uneasy.
The convoy stopped in front of the villa, and Xiao Jiang and Xiao Yue were the first to get out of the cars.
The two little ones had already been arranged by Xiao Wenjin.
Someone came up and handed each of them a torch made of sorghum stalks.
They carried the torches to Xiao Weiguo's lead car, and symbolically burned them around the car, signifying that the fire would burn ever brighter.
Then, the car door opened, and Xiao Weiguo got out of the car first. He then opened the other door for the bride and welcomed Liu Ye out of the car.
