The two went back to their room to change clothes; everything was arranged, and the makeup artist knew exactly what to do.
Gu Chuanming chuckled to himself, "Today, the heir of the Gu family is getting married."
Gu Yaozu carried Haiyin in. Gu Chuanming stood up excitedly. He had finally waited for this day.
After they kowtowed, they were quickly sent away to change their clothes.
The waiters quickly arranged the venue.
Ten minutes later, Wang Ying sent someone upstairs to call Zhenye and his three brothers down.
This ceremony is simply about kowtowing to the elders in the family and recognizing relatives. It's just a formality.
First came Gu Chuanming, then Zhang Xingguo, followed by Zhang Shouyi and his wife. After that came Huang Meihua and Beth, then Carlos, and finally Gu Yaozu kowtowed to Gu Chuanming alone—this was a matter for the Gu family.
Finally, Zhang Weiyu kowtowed to Liu Aimin and his wife, and then kowtowed to Liu Jingze, which marked the completion of half of the ceremony.
Wang Ying brought four new brides and introduced them to her family's relatives.
The banquet officially began at midnight.
Today is a big day for Zhenye and his family, so they all drank alcohol, but no one forced them to drink; they just took a symbolic sip.
There were ten tables in total. The eight of them toasted together, while the couples took turns at one table. In this way, Zhenye and the other three drank quite a bit.
Zhang Shouyi and Zhang Hongmei, along with their sons, also joined them.
By the time the wedding banquet ended, it was already 1:30 AM. Everyone here was genuinely happy for them and sincerely wished them well.
Zhang Shouyi also took a few sips, but he didn't drink too much, while Liu Jingze did. He was dizzy, but his mind was unusually clear.
The four of them went straight back to their own homes. Only the four of them, the McCann family, and the Zhao family returned to Fuzeyuan.
Annie has stayed in her room since she returned.
Daniel glanced at her briefly before going out to keep the old man company.
"Godfather, Godmother, we're going back to Liujiatun tomorrow. Would you like to come and visit us?"
Huang Meihua shook her head. "We're not going. We're leaving tomorrow too. We're worried about our families."
"Godfather, can't you stay a few more days?" Zhang Hongmei was very conflicted.
Carlos smiled and looked at his embarrassed parents.
"Mom and Dad, why don't you stay for a while?"
Huang Meihua shook her head, "No, let's go back. I'm getting old, and I don't feel comfortable out here. I've already seen Zhenye and the others, and I've also met Xiao Wu and the other two. I'm content."
Zhang Hongmei didn't dare to persuade her any further. She looked at Wang Xinyi.
Zhao Hao was looking at Zhang Hongmei when he asked, "Can I stay for a few days?"
"You should go back now."
"Hongmei, you are so heartless. How could you treat me like this? You are so cold-hearted."
Wang Xinyi smiled and said, "Hongmei, we're going back too. Don't worry about us. Let's settle things with Zhenye and the others first."
Now they're leaving together. It really feels like the time was too short.
"It's alright. When Daniel gets married, you can just show up as the eldest daughter of the McCann family." Huang Meihua patted Zhang Hongmei's hand.
“Okay, godfather and godmother, I will definitely be there.”
What time is my flight tomorrow?
"Mom, the flight is at 7:30 tomorrow morning."
Zhang Hongmei was truly in a dilemma; she wouldn't be able to see them off tomorrow.
Huang Meihua laughed, "What's there to worry about? Can't we leave ourselves?"
Zhang Hongmei fell silent, lost in thought about how to make the best arrangements.
In the end, Zhang Shouyi decided to have his assistant escort them.
The women had so much to talk about that they gathered together, and Annie came out of her room too. She sat down next to Zhang Hongmei.
"Mom, when you go back to M country, you must have arranged your time well so that you can stay at home for a few more days."
"Yes, I know, Godmother. Which month is Daniel's wedding scheduled for?"
"May."
"Okay, I understand. I'll arrange my time accordingly."
Zhang Hongmei looked at Gao Xueqing sitting next to Wang Xinyi; the girl always had a smile on her face.
Seeing that she and Wang Zining were getting along well, Zhang Hongmei was relieved.
Dinner was also very lively, but the food was just light.
The four newlywed couples were also having a meal.
When they returned in the afternoon, they entertained their friends. The brides, on the other hand, washed and tidied themselves in their rooms.
Around 5 PM, the friends said their goodbyes and left. The nanny cooked dinner. After dinner, their passionate night began, but both he and his wife drank spring water, which Zhang Hongmei had prepared in advance.
Zhang Shouyi taught the four brothers their premarital education, but when they actually experienced happiness, they realized that their father's words had been too vague.
At four o'clock the next day, due to their biological clocks, they still remembered to exercise. However, looking at their sleeping wives beside them, neither of them exercised in the end, marking the first time they had missed a day of training.
At 5:30, they were all ready and went directly to the airport with their bodyguards to wait.
They saw that Liu Aimin's family of seven had arrived, and soon after, Liu Maocai's family of seventeen also arrived.
The old man was quite satisfied with his new wife.
Er Lengzi and his family of five arrived, followed by Zhuzi and his family of three.
The last to arrive were Zhang Shouyi and his family of seven.
There were two planes. The planes took off at 6:30. They arrived at Liujiatun at 9:30.
The place was already bustling with activity. Liu Yuqiang came to pick him up personally.
The logistics company manager is in charge here.
Zhang Hongmei greeted the villagers with a smile, but then told Zhenye and the others to take their wives home.
They were all young and strong men, and they had no self-control, leaving their daughters-in-law listless.
Zhang Hongmei and Zhang Shouyi stayed behind and greeted the village elders.
Liu Jingze took his parents home, and then he and his brother Jingxiang came out as well. Having been away for so long, they naturally wanted to reconnect with the villagers.
Liu Maocai also brought his son and son-in-law, but they weren't needed here.
“Jianguo, Shitou, your mother and I also want to come back. Now that Sanya and Zigan have been transferred back to the capital, we can rest assured. As for Chenxi, we can rest assured that Erya and Hongmei are taking care of her.”
"Dad, my second sister still has to go to work, and besides, Pengfei is of marriageable age. You and Mom should stay in the capital." It wasn't for their own children's sake, and Chenxi and the others weren't planning to send them to the capital either. They were just worried that if the old couple stayed, they would be left without anyone to take care of them since they lived so far away.
"Dad, why don't you live with us in the city? We don't feel comfortable leaving just Mom and you two at home."
Liu Maocai sighed. He and his wife had discussed it and knew they couldn't come back now. But they were getting old and their hearts were filled with thoughts of everything in Liujiatun.
“Pengfei and Ping’an are both grown up. Dad, you should stay in the capital.” Cheng Guangxu also chimed in with his advice.
