It was noon, and there were only four of us, but we managed to prepare ten dishes, filling the whole table.
"Liang Dan, let's eat. Before, it was just the two of us, or at most the three of us. Now we finally have four people."
"Mom and Dad, you should eat too."
Although Liang Dan wasn't a great cook, she was quick and efficient at cleaning. The old man watched with great satisfaction.
In the afternoon, Liang Dan chatted with the old woman. The mother and daughter hit it off immediately. Liu Jingzhang stayed by her side, thinking to himself that he only found this wife because he liked his mother.
At Liang Dan's request, the leftovers were heated up and porridge was cooked in the evening, which made the two elderly people even more satisfied.
Liu Jingzhang rode his bicycle to take Liang Dan back, but didn't stay long. He made plans with Liang Dan to go to the park the next day.
The next day, Liu Jingzhang and his friend went out to play, but returned home for lunch. While at home, Liu Jingzhang called Song Zigan.
"I am married."
"Hehe, you've been through something, haven't you?"
"Can't you just wish me well? What's so strange about me getting married?"
"real?"
"Of course it's true. You probably know her too, she's Liang Dan, who works for Hongmei."
"Yes, I know. Her medical skills are quite good, but how did she come to take a liking to you?"
"What's wrong with me? I'm a healthy, good-looking, and positive young man. Why can't they like me?"
Haha, you have so many good points?
Congratulations! When did this happen? I didn't hear a thing.
"We got our marriage certificate yesterday, and we'll have our wedding banquet on the 16th."
"Sixteen, I'm going to miss it. I was notified that I was leaving with several engineers this morning."
"It's okay, tomorrow's Saturday, come over for dinner."
"Okay, I'll be there by noon."
He dialed Liu Jingze's number again. "Dude, I got married."
Congratulations. When did this happen?
"We got our marriage certificate yesterday, and we're having the wedding banquet on the 16th. Do you want to come?"
"I'll be there. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"No need, my mom has already prepared everything. You can just come and eat. Also, aren't you going to ask who the bride is?"
"Hehe, who is the bride?"
"It's Liang Dan, who's with Hongmei. I met her once at Song Zigan's wedding banquet and fell in love with her immediately."
"Hmm. That girl? She seems to be quite quiet, right?"
"You go there every week, didn't you know?"
"I haven't noticed."
Liu Jingzhang thought to himself, "In your heart and eyes, there is no one else but Zhang Hongmei."
After hanging up the phone, Liu Jingzhang thought about his other classmates in the capital. He notified more than twenty people, and finally thought of Shan Mianzhi, feeling that he should still call him, otherwise it would be a bit awkward to meet later.
Shan Mianzhi was a little surprised to receive Liu Jingzhang's call. They didn't work in the same city and hadn't been in touch for several years.
"Chairman Shan, I'm getting married on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, and I'd like to invite you to my wedding banquet."
"Congratulations! I'll definitely be there on the 16th. I thought you were already married!"
"Hehe. No, I've been out and about, and there's no suitable match yet."
The two chatted for a while longer before hanging up. Liu Jingzhang found it a bit funny. "You're thirty-three and still not married, and you're still talking about these things? You still have that kind of thing that I don't like."
I'll take Liang Dan back this afternoon. They won't see each other tomorrow. There are still many things to prepare at home, and many relatives and friends to notify.
Upon meeting Zhang Hongmei, the two discussed the wedding arrangements for the morning of the 16th. On that day, all five cars from the family would first go to Liu Jingzhang's house, and then go to Fuzeyuan to pick up the bride.
Everything had been discussed and they even had a meal together; Zhang Shouyi had also given them a gift of money. However, the three of them decided not to go that day, as it was simply inconvenient.
"Boss, it's alright."
Gu Chuanming and Zhang Xingguo also gave monetary gifts. They were quite familiar with Liu Jingzhang and liked the young man very much, so they gave generous amounts.
For the next three days, Liang Dan busied herself with preparing her house. She wasn't going to live there, so she hadn't packed any luggage, but everything still needed to be fully furnished. Her mother-in-law said she would bring relatives over to visit. It was a matter of face.
Liang Dan didn't care about any of that. As long as the old man was happy, that was all that mattered.
Time flies. On the morning of the 16th, the family's bodyguard drove to Liu Jingzhang's house, and Lu Jing helped Liang Dan with her makeup.
Today, it's Zhang Hongmei, Liu Qiang, Lu Jing, Han Mei, Lu Yue, Wang Ying, Gan Lu and their group of women.
He could hear the sound of firecrackers from afar, and Liu Jingzhang was overjoyed. Today, he finally had a real wife.
There was no such thing as teasing the groom at that time, so Liu Jingzhang received the bride very smoothly.
As her family members, they boarded the car and headed to Liu Jingzhang's house in a grand procession.
The Liu family has a huge number of relatives and friends; the other side of the alley is lined with dining tables. There are also more in the courtyard; I estimate there are more than thirty tables in total.
Liang Dan got out of the car, looked at the elderly couple at the door, and bowed respectfully. "Dad, Mom!"
"Okay, okay. Here, this is a red envelope from Mom for you to change your address to Mom."
Liang Dan smiled and took it, then handed it to Gan Lu.
"This is the money Dad gave you for changing your address to Dad."
"Thank you, Dad."
After that, the bride entered the house, and the two made vows in front of the leader's portrait.
Afterwards, the two kowtowed to the two elderly people, and Liang Dan received a red envelope containing two thousand yuan.
Everyone was envious; he gave two thousand for the wedding gift, not even counting the gold jewelry.
The bodyguards outside brought in everything Lu Jing had prepared. The tray at the front held the property certificate, the second person had a set of jewelry, and behind them were thermos flasks, washbasins, and other items—it was quite a sight.
"He married a rich woman, and she even brought a house with her?"
The neighbors below were whispering amongst themselves, all expressing their envy.
That concludes the ceremony; the bride returned to her room. On the table in the courtyard were candies and melon seeds. The children ran around happily, and the candies quickly disappeared, only to be replaced by others. It was a joyous occasion, and everyone was simply having a good time.
It's almost noon. Five chefs are starting. The main dishes were prepared yesterday, and the side dishes are also ready, so the food is served very quickly.
Zhang Hongmei and the others were inside the house. While eating, Wang Ying praised, "This chef's skills are quite good."
The women who came to accompany the new bride were Liu Jingzhang's cousins, and they all urged everyone to eat more.
Liu Qiang was a little anxious. His family's tutors had all arrived, and his older brothers would be coming today as well. From now on, there would be many playmates at home to study with. After all, he was still a child and really liked playing with his friends.
"Liu Qiang, don't worry, your brothers are all waiting for you at home," Zhang Hongmei quickly reassured him.
