Chapter 29: Marrying into the Lu Family
Here, after Lu Tingxiao picked up Jiang Ruoxi at Jiang's house, he hummed a little tune while riding a bicycle with a big red flower tied to it. His beloved girl was sitting on the back seat of the bicycle. He was so happy that he almost flew away. The childhood friend who followed him to pick up the bride also rode a bicycle and followed Lu Tingxiao around the family compound. At this moment, Lu Tingxiao's heart was filled with joy, as if the whole world had become brighter.
The sunshine shines on them, reflecting their happy smiles. Lu Tingxiao felt the gentle breeze brushing against his cheeks, as if the wind was cheering for their love. He looked at Jiang Ruoxi beside him. Her beauty was like a spring flower, exuding an enchanting fragrance.
He recalled the moment they met, as if the wheel of fate began to turn. From that moment on, he knew that this girl would be the love of his life. Now, he finally married his beloved girl, and his heart was filled with gratitude and joy.
He knew that in the days ahead, they would face challenges in life together, but he firmly believed that as long as they stayed with each other, they would be able to overcome every difficulty.
The bicycle continued to move forward, and Lu Tingxiao's eyes were firm and gentle. He will take Jiang Ruoxi towards their happy future.
Lu Tingxiao drove Jiang Ruoxi into the Lu family's gate. The Lu family, young and old, had been waiting for a long time, with happy smiles on their faces. Lu Tingxiao stopped his bike, propped his long legs on the ground, and helped Jiang Ruoxi down before he got off the bike. After parking the bike, the two of them walked hand in hand to the elders and began to worship heaven and earth.
The MC cleared his throat and shouted, "Bow to Heaven and Earth!" Lu Tingxiao and Jiang Ruoxi turned side by side and bowed respectfully toward the vast world outside the window. Outside the window, the sunlight shines through the mottled leaves, casting patches of light and shadows.
"Second bow to the leader!" The two men turned around, faced the portrait of the great man, looked solemn, slowly bent down, and bowed deeply. Their eyes were full of admiration and piety.
"Husband and wife bow to each other!" Their eyes met. Lu Tingxiao raised his hand slightly and gently lifted Jiang Ruoxi's red veil, revealing her shy and charming face. The two looked at each other affectionately, bent down slowly, completed the bow, and made a promise to stay together for the rest of their lives.
Then, Lu Tingxiao and Jiang Ruoxi stood side by side and recited the Little Red Book. Their voices were firm and loud as they recited the classic passages from the Little Red Book sentence by sentence. Those passionate words were not only the mark of that era, but also their beautiful expectations for their future lives. They echoed in the room for a long time.
There were two steaming cups of tea on the table. Lu Tingxiao picked up a cup and handed it to Jiang Ruoxi, and then they both handed it to Grandpa Lu respectfully. "Grandpa, grandma, please have some tea." Grandpa Lu took it with a smile, took a sip, then took out a big red envelope and stuffed it into Jiang Ruoxi. Next came Grandma Lu. She held Jiang Ruoxi's hand and smiled from ear to ear, praising her for being well-behaved and pretty.
When it was Mr. and Mrs. Lu's turn, Jiang Ruoxi blushed and shouted, "Dad, Mom, I will be filial to you in the future." Mrs. Lu's eyes were red with excitement, and she said, "Good child, this will be your home from now on!" After serving tea, Lu Tingxiao sent Jiang Ruoxi back to her room. Lu Tingxiao held Jiang Ruoxi's hand tightly, his eyes full of love. At this warm moment, they know that their new life has just begun and there are countless beautiful things in the future waiting for them to experience together.
Lu Tingxiao gently supported Jiang Ruoxi and walked her back to her room with steady steps. When they got to the room, Lu Tingxiao carefully asked her to sit down on the edge of the bed, "Ruoxi, I'm going to have a few drinks with them. You wait for me in the room. I'll ask mom to bring you some food. If you're tired, take a nap first. My childhood friends are going to make some noise!"
"Okay, go ahead!" Jiang Ruoxi said softly.
Hearing Jiang Ruoxi's gentle voice, Lu Tingxiao no longer wanted to go out and drink with them. In the end, he kissed Jiang Ruoxi fiercely on the lips before he calmed down and went out to accompany his relatives and friends.
Then he turned and walked out of the room, closed the door gently, and returned to the wedding banquet. Under the bright lights, relatives and friends are laughing and talking happily. Lu Tingxiao had an upright posture, and his neatly tailored military uniform made him look even more handsome. He picked up the wine glass, with a happy and sincere smile on his face, and walked towards each table of guests. During this time, she took some time to ask Lu's mother and sister to bring some food to Jiang Ruoxi and talk to her so that she wouldn't be bored staying in the room.
On the other side, Mother Lu and Lu Zhixu knocked on the door and came in: "Ruoxi, have something to eat!"
"Mom, sister, why are you here?"
"It's that brat Tingxiao. He was afraid that you were hungry and bored, so he asked Zhixu and I to come and bring you food and chat with you!"
"Yes, Ruoxi, you don't know, my brother is good in every way except that his emotional intelligence is a little low. Before he met you, it was impossible for him to take the initiative to care about us at home. After meeting you, he has changed a lot. It is a blessing for our Lu family to have you in our family!" Lu Zhixu joked.
"Sis, from what you said, Tingxiao just doesn't know how to get along with his family. In fact, he has a high emotional intelligence!" Jiang Ruoxi retorted.
"Oh, mom, see, right after getting married, Ruoxi is already protecting that brat!"
"Get out of the way. You're so old, but you don't act like a sister!"
Jiang Ruoxi covered her mouth and chuckled. The family atmosphere of the Lu family was the same as that of the Jiang family. Both parents loved their children very much. Only children who grew up in a loving family environment could maintain a calm and optimistic attitude.
On the other side, "Thank you all for coming to Ruoxi and I's wedding!" Lu Tingxiao said in a loud voice, clinking glasses with everyone with unconcealed joy. The elders gave their blessings, and the younger friends joked that he should love the bride well. Lu Tingxiao agreed to all the requests and drank the wine in his glass again and again, but he did not feel drunk at all. His heart was filled with longing for his future life.
The wedding banquet was made even warmer and more cheerful by his enthusiasm and joy. Everyone was immersed in this happy atmosphere, witnessing together the opening of a new chapter in his and Jiang Ruoxi's beautiful love.
Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Tingxiao finished the wedding banquet and staggered back to his room, reeking of alcohol. Seeing Lu Tingxiao coming back, Mother Lu and Lu Zhixu left the room and closed the door for them. Looking at the festive atmosphere in the room, Lu Tingxiao was extremely excited. Tonight was his and Jiang Ruoxi's wedding night. He finally married his precious Ruoxi.
Lu Tingxiao staggered towards Jiang Ruoxi and sat down beside the bed, his eyes never leaving Jiang Ruoxi. Jiang Ruoxi felt his burning gaze and her heart started beating like a deer.
"Xi'er... baby..." Lu Tingxiao called out softly, his voice slightly drunk. Jiang Ruoxi raised her head slightly and met his eyes. Lu Tingxiao's eyes were filled with affection and attachment at this moment.
With trembling hands, he gently stroked Jiang Ruoxi's cheek, and Jiang Ruoxi looked at him shyly. The corners of Lu Tingxiao's mouth slightly raised, and he gently held Jiang Ruoxi's hand, and said in a low and gentle voice: "From now on, I will protect you for the rest of your life." Jiang Ruoxi's eyes welled up with tears, and she nodded slightly: "I believe you." In this warm and romantic bridal chamber, the two made a promise to accompany each other for the rest of their lives, opening a new chapter in their lives.
