In recent days, he occasionally eats fruits with particularly good taste at home.
Every time she was asked, Zuo Mingyan looked confused. "I don't know. Tiantian said she picked them outside. This girl is really good at picking fruits. Every time she brings back fruits, they taste better than others."
Cha Jiuzhang didn’t know where Jiang Tiantian picked the fruits?
Anyway, he grew up in the village and never found anyone who grew fruits that were this delicious?!
However, based on his trust in Jiang Tiantian, he did not ask any more questions.
When they were picking matsutake mushrooms before, the woman had said that her sense of smell was sharper than that of ordinary people. This was a natural talent that ordinary people could not match. Perhaps he was just too surprised by what he had seen.
"I've inquired about it. There is a wedding in Caoba this morning. Do you want to attend it?" Cha Jiuzhang looked at her and asked with a smile.
"Wedding?" Jiang Tiantian was slightly startled, then nodded happily, "I'll go."
"Then hurry up and pack up. If you go now, you can still watch the wedding reception."
Jiang Tiantian was delighted when she heard this and quickened her movements.

The simple, festive and warm traditional pastoral wedding is a grand celebration on Caoba.
When Cha Jiuzhang and Jiang Tiantian arrived, the wedding party consisting of the groom, best man, matchmaker, hymn singer, singer, family head and others had already packed their luggage and were ready to set off.
When the auspicious time arrives, the head of the family gives an order and the welcoming team sets out towards happiness with joy.
Jiang Tiantian, holding a bunch of flowers in her hands, walked with Cha Jiuzhang behind the welcoming team. Everyone in the team gave them warm and kind smiles.
I don't feel that their joining would be abrupt at all.
When the wedding procession was about to arrive at the bride's tent, the unique "closing ceremony" began.
Several sisters-in-law of the bride are about to step forward to stop the groom from entering the tent. The interesting "sisters-in-law blocking the door" kicks off the prelude to the groom's trick.
After some "teasing" and amidst everyone's laughter, the groom finally passed the test.
Long before this, the bride, with the help of her female relatives, put on colorful wedding clothes.
At this time, while the singer was singing, the bride's mother formally combed her hair and put on a beautiful headdress made of gold, silver, red coral, turquoise, beeswax, etc.
Most of these ornaments are passed down from generation to generation in their family and are very precious.
Cha Jiuzhang saw Jiang Tiantian staring at the accessories with great interest, "Do you like them?"
If she likes it, he can ask someone to help find some later.
"Very beautiful." Jiang Tiantian nodded.
But when she turned around and saw the expression on Cha Jiuzhang's face, she immediately laughed.
"You don't have to bother looking for it. It's just an appreciation, but it's more precious than getting it."
Cha Jiuzhang was slightly stunned, then chuckled.
"I know, but..." Cha Jiuzhang rubbed her head lovingly.
This woman was different from what he had known before...
She is not a vain person and does not have too many material desires.
Sometimes, just a simple delicious meal can make her happy for a long time.
In some ways, she is really easy to feed!
But... he looked at the pendant braided in the bride's hair and thought, she would be more beautiful if she wore it!
The bride, after being dressed up, looks beautiful, charming and gentle. She stands next to the masculine and handsome groom, and both of them have happy smiles on their faces.
Most of the local herdsmen have their own totems and firm beliefs.
After handing the bride over to the groom, the couple will reverently hold a ceremony to worship the gods of heaven and earth in the presence of all their relatives.
Then say goodbye to the bride's father and mother and return to your own tent.
After the solemn ceremony, the families of the couple each presented the prepared dishes.
In the huge tent, all kinds of food and drinks were laid out in a long row, including sumptuous meat dishes, delicious pasta, and of course, homemade wine and milk tea.
Then, they warmly invited all relatives, friends, and distant guests present to take their seats.
The guests lined up in a long queue and walked up to the bride and groom one by one to give their sincere blessings.
Cha Jiuzhang followed the gift and brought Jiang Tiantian with him. They each held a glass of wine and lined up in front of the bride and groom, smiling and saying, "Congratulations on your wedding! May you have a long and happy marriage!"
"Thank you!" The bride and groom's faces were filled with enthusiastic and warm smiles. They raised their glasses together in response and bowed slightly in greeting.
Afterwards, the two found a quiet corner and quietly enjoyed the delicious food and the joyful atmosphere.
Jiang Tiantian stared at the carnival in the tent with interest.
Even without luxury cars or diamond rings, the herdsmen who are good at singing and dancing can also make the wedding scene lively!
Regardless of gender, age, adult or child, they all wore beautiful traditional costumes, with bright smiles on their faces, surrounded the newlyweds, holding drinks and singing blessing songs enthusiastically.
"Bride, bride, you are so beautiful
Peacock flies over to compare
The peacock is not as beautiful as you
I'll leave the feathers for you.
Yangkeyoyangkeyoyangkeyoyangkeyo
Bride, bride, you are so beautiful
The boy is lucky
Yang Keyo
Feathers make new clothes for you
Flowers surround you
The fawn and lamb left home
Follow the sun to celebrate
Yangkeyoyangkeyoyangkeyoyangkeyo
Bride, bride, you are so beautiful
The boy is lucky
Yang Keyo"
The cheerful melody and straightforward lyrics all demonstrate the enthusiasm and boldness of the herdsmen.
"Bride, bride, you are so beautiful, and the young man is so lucky..." Cha Jiuzhang also sang along in a low voice.
Finally, he turned around and whispered softly in Jiang Tiantian's ear with a gentle look on his face, "I am also a blessed young man!"
Because, in his eyes, Jiang Tiantian is the most beautiful bride in the world!
Jiang Tiantian glared at him arrogantly, not being modest at all.
"Of course, being able to marry me is the greatest blessing in your life."
"So, you have to learn to cherish your blessings!" Jiang Tiantian said seriously.
This morning, I brought him so much good fortune. With her, I said that he would be the most blessed young man in the world.
It’s definitely not an exaggeration!
"Yeah! I appreciate my blessings!"
Cha Jiuzhang smiled and grabbed Jiang Tiantian's hand, stroking it gently, with a hint of happiness in his eyes.
"With you, I can no longer see other girls."
He played with Jiang Tiantian's little hand and asked hesitantly, "Tiantian, do you feel regretful about our wedding?"
Their wedding had also been very lively and festive, but at the time, nominally, it was his and Jiang Hongmei's wedding banquet.
Neither he nor Jiang Tiantian were able to accept everyone's blessings as generously and openly as the newlyweds today.
Neither of them even drank a cup of wine from the wedding cup.
It was only until just now, after the comparison, that he realized how unfair this was to Jiang Tiantian.
Although the incident has long passed, it left a regret in his heart!
