The children were the first to know that Li Huai and Zhao Qinglan were getting married.
Erwa and Xiaoduo were overjoyed, and Erwa was so excited that he immediately called his older brother who lived far away.
When the eldest child heard the good news, he was overjoyed and quickly started calculating how many more days he had left before he could go home for vacation.
When Li Huai asked Zhao Qinglan how she wanted to hold her wedding, Zhao Qinglan replied without hesitation that she would just keep it simple.
She felt that since both of them were remarried and their children were grown up, there was no need to make a big fuss and invite ridicule from others.
But Li Huai didn't think so.
"We're both in love and we're getting married through the proper channels, so what's there to be afraid of, Qinglan? I'm determined to marry you in a grand and glorious way."
In his heart, not giving his wife a grand wedding has always been a regret.
His persistence deeply moved Zhao Qinglan.
Considering that their eldest child was studying in another city, they set their wedding date for the winter break.
When Zhao Qinglan lived with the Wang family, she didn't have many friends. It was only after she moved out of the Wang family that she had a few people she got along well with.
She informed her landlord and a few neighbors about her upcoming marriage.
Everyone had high hopes for her and Li Huai, and now that they knew they were finally getting married, they all said they would come to the wedding banquet.
Since Li Huai was recently transferred here, most of his former friends and comrades-in-arms are no longer here, so he can only notify his current colleagues.
There are many trivial things to do when planning a wedding.
For Zhao Qinglan's sake, Li Huai even went so far as to find a matchmaker and have the matchmaker take him to Zhao Qinglan's courtyard to deliver the betrothal gifts.
Their second marriage was more grand than many people's first weddings, which made many people envious of Zhao Qinglan.
When the eldest child returned from winter vacation, all three children busied themselves with their parents' wedding preparations.
On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhao Qinglan and Li Huai's wedding was officially held.
Li Huai booked a table at a restaurant in the city and invited all the colleagues he could.
He didn't expect that several enthusiastic comrades would come to the wedding.
On Zhao Qinglan's side, the landlord and a few neighbors were guests.
Fortunately, her most cherished daughter has always been there for her, supporting and blessing her.
It's not even the year 1988 has passed yet, and very few people are getting married now, even though they're wearing wedding dresses.
Even if there are such families, they are usually from well-off families in big cities. Nowadays, white wedding dresses are rare; most are bright red or pink.
Li Huai, however, bought his wife a well-fitting white wedding dress.
Besides the wedding dress, they also had custom-made traditional Chinese wedding attire. In short, Li Huai had made thorough preparations in every aspect.
Looking at their father beaming with smiles on the stage, the two children couldn't help but feel sorry for their silly dad and offered their blessings as well.
The wedding was grand, and Li Huai and Zhao Qinglan were both very happy.
After the wedding banquet ended, they all returned to their newly decorated bridal chamber. Zhao Qinglan, who was in her thirties, blushed and felt hot thinking about what was about to happen.
The children were very "thoughtful" and stayed at Zhao Qinglan's courtyard tonight, leaving the house in the family area for the two of them.
Li Huai had drunk quite a bit of wine with his wife today, and it took him a long time to wash up. When he came back, he saw his wife sitting in front of the dressing table.
He smiled, then picked up the person who exclaimed in surprise and carried them to bed.
"Li Huai, didn't you say you'd tell me when we got married?"
"Let's talk about that tomorrow. We have more important things to do tonight."
The boundless beauty rippled, and even the moon shyly hid behind the clouds.
...
It's said that women in their thirties are like wolves and in their forties like tigers.
Zhao Qinglan, however, felt that this forty-year-old man was more like a wolf that had been starving for a long time.
When she woke up in the morning, she was glad that the children weren't staying here, otherwise she would have been too embarrassed to come out.
Li Huai had a few days of wedding leave and didn't go to work.
Seeing his wife get up, he thoughtfully brought her breakfast.
During breakfast, Zhao Qinglan brought up the old topic again. "Now, can you tell me?"
Li Huai's expression immediately turned serious.
"Qinglan, maybe you'll think what I'm about to say is a fantasy, or that I have a problem, but please, please listen to me finish, okay?"
Zhao Qinglan didn't understand, but she nodded nonetheless.
Li Huai began to tell a story that had spanned several generations.
Zhao Qinglan's eyes widened slowly. Several times, she couldn't help but want to interrupt, but she managed to hold back because she remembered Li Huai's words.
"Those things you find strange, why I know so many things you don't know, why I'm good to you and Xiaoduo, it's because you've always been my wife."
"Qinglan, I don't know why God brought me back, but I'm so glad that we can continue living together. I can still make up for many regrets."
Zhao Qinglan may still have some doubts about what Li Huai said today.
But then, several major events happened as Li Huai had predicted, and Zhao Qinglan finally believed that she and he had been husband and wife for several lifetimes.
She found it fantastical, yet it also seemed quite reasonable.
After she completely believed Li Huai's words, their relationship progressed rapidly.
According to Li Huai's memory, the two of them also did many things.
For example, exposing Yu Huimin's true colors and the truth about Li Wei's background.
Because Yu Huimin was involved in a highly sensitive espionage case, she was quickly imprisoned.
For Li Zhenhua, even without other groundwork laid, the mere fact that Li Wei was not his biological son was enough to be a blow to him.
To secure his position at work, he also completely severed ties with Yu Huimin.
He wasn't so unlucky in this life; on the contrary, he benefited Li Huai and Da Wa.
