As the wedding festivities gradually subsided, Gu Yuanzhi and Pei Yanchuan, accompanied by their families, returned to the bridal chamber meticulously prepared by the Pei family. It was a place filled with love and warmth, every detail reflecting the best wishes of both families for the newlyweds.
After the wedding, the Pei and Gu families worked together to ensure that all guests received a proper send-off. Standing at the entrance to the banquet hall, they shook hands and hugged each departing relative and friend, thanking them for their presence and blessings.
Pei Yuanqing expressed his gratitude to each guest: "Thank you for coming; your blessings are our greatest honor."
Wang Yaxian also gently thanked the guests: "We are very happy to be able to witness this special day with you."
Gu Yanxiao and Xia Liang also expressed their gratitude: "Thank you all for participating. Your company made today's wedding even more perfect."
After seeing off all the guests, the four parents returned to the new house together, wanting to give the newlyweds some space and also to make sure everything was arranged properly. With warm smiles, they quietly discussed the details of the wedding and their hopes for the couple's future life.
Looking at the new house, Xia Liang said to Gu Yuanzhi, "Yuanzhi, look at this home, how warm and cozy it is. We hope you can find happiness and peace here."
Gu Yanxiao also said to Pei Yanchuan, "Yanchuan, now that you and Yuanzhi have started a new life, we believe that you will work together to create a loving family."
The Pei family also expressed their blessings and expectations. Pei Yuanqing said to the newlyweds, "We are proud of you, and we hope that you can respect each other and grow together."
Wang Yaxian gently added, "No matter what difficulties you encounter, remember that your family will always be your strong support."
Amidst their parents' blessings, Gu Yuanzhi and Pei Yanchuan felt the deep love from their family. They knew that no matter what the future held, their family's support and understanding would be their greatest treasure.
Finally, the parents bid farewell to the newlyweds, leaving them their private space to enjoy the sweetness and tranquility of their wedding night. Gu Yuanzhi and Pei Yanchuan stood hand in hand on the balcony of their new home, gazing at the starry sky, their hearts filled with anticipation and hope for the future.
Pei Yanchuan whispered to Gu Yuanzhi, "Yuanzhi, today we officially become husband and wife. I promise to love you and protect you with my whole life."
Gu Yuanzhi nestled in his arms and replied happily, "Yan Chuan, being your wife is my greatest happiness. Let's work together to create a home full of love."
As the night deepened and the lights in the new house gradually went out, Gu Yuanzhi and Pei Yanchuan began their shared journey in the haven of love.
When Gu Yanxiao and Xia Liang helped Han Yulan back to her doorstep, the housekeeper was already waiting there, greeting them with a gentle smile.
When the aunt saw them, she immediately came forward to help: "Sir, Madam, Grandma, you're back. The wedding must have been tiring. Please come in, I've prepared some tea and snacks."
Gu Yanxiao smiled and said to the aunt, "Thank you, Auntie. Yes, today was indeed quite tiring, but everything went smoothly."
Xia Liang nodded in agreement: "Auntie, your tea and snacks have come at just the right time. We need to rest for a bit."
Although Han Yulan is quite old, she was very happy at today's wedding. She told her aunt, "The wedding was a great success, and the children were very happy. I'm a little tired, but I'm very satisfied."
While helping her carry the things, the aunt said with concern, "Grandma, please sit down and rest. I'll make you a cup of ginseng tea to refresh you."
Gu Yanxiao and Xia Liang helped Han Yulan sit down on the sofa in the living room, and then they each found their own seats. The housekeeper quickly brought out tea and snacks, placing them on the coffee table in front of them.
Xia Liang took a sip of tea and said with emotion, "Today's wedding was perfect. Yuanzhi and Yanchuan looked very happy."
Gu Yanxiao nodded: "Yes, seeing the children so happy makes us parents feel at ease."
Han Yulan's face was full of relief: "My granddaughters have all found good homes, so I can rest easy. Although I'm tired after a long day, my heart is filled with sweetness."
The aunt, who was listening to their conversation, couldn't help but chime in: "The newlyweds are so radiant at today's wedding. I feel so happy just looking at them."
The family's pet dog seemed to sense the joyful atmosphere at home, wagging its tail and circling around their feet, seeking its owner's petting and attention.
Gu Yanxiao and Xia Liang exchanged a smile, then said together to the aunt, "You've worked hard today too, thank you."
The aunt replied with a smile, "Not at all, I'm happy to see the house so festive."
That evening, the Gu family home was filled with a warm and joyful atmosphere. Although the busy wedding season was over, the love and care among family members continued to flow in every corner. Accompanied by their aunt, Han Yulan, Gu Yanxiao, and Xia Liang enjoyed this peaceful and serene evening, their hearts filled with blessings for their family and anticipation for the future.
After the wedding festivities subsided, the Gu family home was unusually quiet. Gu Yanxiao, Xia Liang, and Han Yulan sat on the sofa, the television screen flickering, but none of the three seemed to be paying attention to the program. Despite feeling physically exhausted, the turmoil in their hearts made it difficult for them to fall asleep.
Gu Yanxiao broke the silence: "Today is truly a wonderful day. Yuanzhi and Yanchuan's wedding was absolutely perfect. But seeing my daughters leave one by one, I do feel a little empty inside."
Xia Liang sighed softly and leaned on Gu Yanxiao's shoulder: "Yes, although I know they have all found good partners and are not far from us, it feels like something is suddenly missing from our home."
Han Yulan also expressed her feelings: "It's a natural process for children to grow up, get married, and start their own families. Although we are reluctant to let them go, we are also happy for them."
The aunt, who was listening nearby, chimed in, "Even though the children are married and have moved away, this home will always be their haven. They can come back anytime."
Gu Yanxiao nodded: "That's right, we should be happy for their new life. Moreover, we can visit them often or invite them home."
Xia Liang held Han Yulan's hand: "Mom, you're right. We need to learn to adapt to this change and enjoy the time we spend with our children, whether at home or in their new home."
The sounds from the television faded away, but the three men's conversation grew deeper. They began to reminisce about their daughters' childhood, discuss their growth and changes, and share their hopes for the future.
Gu Yanxiao suggested, "We can make a plan, for example, on a certain weekend each month, for our whole family to go on a picnic or have a meal together, to maintain this close family bond."
Xia Liang smiled and said, "That's a good idea. I believe the children will like it too."
Han Yulan smiled and said, "Yes, we can also hold family gatherings on holidays or special occasions, and let the children bring their sons-in-law back with them."
As night deepened, the three's conversation gradually subsided. They began to adapt to this new way of life, learning to find new happiness and fulfillment amidst change. Although their daughters had married and moved away, the warmth of home and the bonds of family would never change.
Although the Gu family home felt somewhat empty that evening, the love and understanding among family members filled it with warmth and hope. They knew that no matter how life changed, their hearts would always be connected, facing every stage of life together.
