"Be happy today, don't think about those things anymore. Everyone wants to see you happy!" Qin Xiaoyu's last sentence was on behalf of Zhou Xing.
Zhou Yue swallowed hard and smiled at herself in the mirror.
Compared to how Qin Xiaoyu first met her, she has almost transformed in the past two years. Her entire demeanor has improved. Although she may not be considered beautiful, she possesses an elegant and dignified air that is unmatched by others.
Xiao Jin was always busy taking care of things. She was extremely satisfied with her stepmother and was naturally willing to put in the effort.
This is what makes Zhou Yue most gratified. Teenagers inevitably cause a lot of worry, but she didn't expect her to come to her first. It's because the child is so lacking in love.
The time was calculated by Aunt Wang. When Commander Zhou heard about it, he muttered a few words, but was scolded by Zhou Xing's mother and had to shut up.
Three cars arrived outside. Deng Jianyan, wearing a woolen coat, got out of the car first. He was holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand, which was quite rare. Even Zhou Yue didn't know where he got them.
Zhou Yue waved frantically at him through the window, but Deng Jianyan didn't dare to move, afraid of scattering the flowers, and ran into the building.
He was wearing a wool coat and still felt cold; this awful weather is really unbearable.
Hanhan stayed in the car; Zhou Yue had insisted on keeping the car stopped for her.
“Don’t let my grandson get cold,” Zhou Xing’s mother protested.
"Mom! Your own daughter is getting married! You have more than just a grandson!" Zhou Yue stomped her foot in anger.
"Anyway, don't let my grandson get cold." Once Zhou Xing's mother got stubborn, no one could stop her.
"You say no, so it's no! It's my wedding!" Zhou Yue snapped.
"Don't be angry. Those two kids were soaking wet from their snowball fight and we couldn't pull them back. What's a car accident? Mom, you're being too fussy." Qin Xiaoyu spoke up, and things finally calmed down.
Because the stairs were narrow and it was inconvenient to go upstairs, the wedding ceremony was held in the living room.
Zhou Yue sat on the chaise lounge where the lady usually sat, and Deng Jianyan knelt down to put white lambskin boots on her.
The boots were already small and narrow, so Deng Jianyan couldn't squat steadily and wobbled back and forth.
"Kneel down, that's not sincere at all." Qi Si, always eager for a good show, kicked Deng Jianyan from behind, and Deng Jianyan immediately knelt down.
Everyone burst into laughter.
"Fourth Brother, don't kick him!" Zhou Yue exclaimed, trying to protect him.
"Hey Xiaoyue, you're quick to switch sides. You haven't even stepped foot in his house yet," Qi Si persisted.
"My mom has been part of our family for a long time!" Xiao Jin was just a child and her emotional intelligence was still low. Seeing her parents being bullied, she was already angry. With tears in her eyes, she said angrily.
"Your family has a lot of members, I really can't beat you." Qi Si was defeated.
Xiao Jin wiped away her tears in anger, and was comforted by Zhou Yue in her arms.
"Get in the car quickly, it's an auspicious time!" Qin Xiaoyu was keeping an eye on the time, and she held up the silver fox fur cloak and draped it over Zhou Yue.
As the group went out, Qi Si set off firecrackers as they got into the car.
The three vehicles slowly drove towards the military region gate.
The first car was the wedding car, decorated by Qin Xiaoyu. She made a heart shape out of silk flowers and red roses and stuck it on the car. Qi Si drove, Qin Xiaoyu sat in the passenger seat, and the bride, groom and the little boy Hanhan who was supporting the car sat in the back.
"Little Fish, look!" Zhou Yue suddenly exclaimed.
Qin Xiaoyu looked out the car window and saw that many vehicles had appeared in the parking area, mostly off-road jeeps. They were gradually joining the convoy, one after another, forming a long line.
"Once it's delivered to the destination, I need to hurry to the restaurant to make arrangements and add a table!" Qi Si reacted quickly.
"These people still came; they're so kind and loyal." Qin Xiaoyu's eyes welled up with tears.
The road was slippery, so the car was not driving fast, which was planned. The cars behind were also following closely, at a leisurely pace.
These days there aren't many cars on the road, so the sudden appearance of a convoy, with dozens of military vehicles, was a luxurious lineup, even more impressive than when Zhou Yue got married for the first time.
People on the roadside stopped to watch the spectacle, forming a procession to see her off. Zhou Yue's face was practically beaming with joy.
When they turned into the residential area on time, they were already waiting there. Commander Zhou was wearing a thick military overcoat, without a hat. For him, who had spent half his life in the military, this was the best formal attire.
"So many military vehicles?" Wang Lei exclaimed, his eyes sharp.
Commander Zhou suddenly realized that his old subordinates had all come. Although he hadn't notified them, they had come spontaneously to support their old leader.
His eyes reddened. He raised his hand and gave a military salute to the convoy.
Wang Lei lit the firecrackers, and with a loud bang, red paper scraps flew everywhere. Zhou Yue then got out of the car with Deng Jianyan's help, and the group ushered her into the lobby of Building No. 4.
Building No. 4 was so crowded that some people could only stand on the stairs to watch people come down.
The emcee was Qi Si, whose eloquence had been honed; he was quite talkative. The bridesmaids and groomsmen were Wang Lei and Tang Fengqin, respectively.
The four flower girls quickly changed into matching outfits as soon as they returned, outfits that matched Zhou Yue's wedding dress.
Qin Xiaoyu came up with a creative idea, using wedding music as accompaniment, making the wedding both lively and unique. Zhou Xing's mother sat on the sofa, only able to wipe away her tears.
When it came to the part about changing the way people address each other, Qi Si deliberately made things difficult for Deng Jianyan. One minute he asked him to call his parents "Mom and Dad" in Northeastern dialect, the next minute he asked him to switch to Southern dialect, and then he asked him to switch to Shandong dialect. Everyone was amused, watching Deng Jianyan and Qi Si banter back and forth like they were doing a comedy routine.
After the ceremony, everyone came forward to offer their congratulations. Commander Zhou was surrounded by his subordinates, as if he had returned to the old days.
Qi Si had already made preparations, choosing a spacious venue suitable for singing and dancing that would close for a day specifically for the Zhou family's wedding. Now that more people were arriving, it was just a matter of adding a few more tables for the banquet; there was no shortage of ingredients anyway.
By the time people left, they had already started setting up platters over there.
There are five tables in the lobby on the first floor, and there are also private rooms and small rooms upstairs.
Qi Si and Qin Xiaoyu ran around making arrangements for their family and friends. Zhou Yue changed into a modified cheongsam; although her belly wasn't very noticeable, it was still clear that these people had sharp eyes.
It's strange, but if it were someone else, the focus would be on how embarrassing it is that this woman is pregnant out of wedlock.
But when it came to Zhou Yue, a woman who was branded as infertile became pregnant at her wedding, and it became a cause for celebration; she created a miracle.
Even Deng Jianyan seemed exceptionally radiant; his words implied that he was far superior to Chen Kai and a true man.
Zhou Yue was already a bit tired after toasting everyone, so Qin Xiaoyu arranged for Wang Lei to take them home to rest.
Commander Zhou was in a great mood and drank a few more sips, becoming somewhat tipsy. Surprisingly, his mother didn't nag him and even kindly helped him downstairs.
Qin Xiaoyu was to deliver this personally, and bring his wife along as well.
"Go back to the hotel later and keep an eye on the kids. Make sure they don't overeat and get indigestion," Zhou Xing's mother said worriedly.
"Okay, Mom, don't worry, my sister-in-law is looking after things now." Qin Xiaoyu was thoughtful and had arranged everything.
After sending the elderly back, the hotel became a playground for the children. Everyone let loose, turned on the karaoke machine, and started partying.
