It instantly spread across the quiet little village.
The villagers were either sitting idly in front of their homes or busy on the paths in the fields.
They all stopped what they were doing, their eyes attracted by the heroic young man.
Every step Yin Yunjie took seemed so steady and powerful, but what attracted more attention was the gentle and charming woman in his arms.
She snuggled into his broad chest.
With a shy but happy smile on her face, she looks like a newly blooming jasmine, standing out against the plain rural backdrop.
This scene undoubtedly became the most eye-catching scenery in the village, attracting discussions among neighbors.
Xie Jianjun, an old man with white hair and beard and a kind face.
He is one of the elders in the village, holding an old palm-leaf fan in his hand.
He walked towards Yin Yunjie with unsteady steps, his eyes showing both curiosity and a bit of the concern that only an elder could have.
"Hey, isn't this our Yunjie? What's going on? He came back with a big surprise this time!"
His voice was full of local accent, making people feel friendly and warm.
Yin Yunjie faced his second uncle, his eyes flashing with a mixture of determination and tenderness.
His smile seemed to dispel all the gloom in the world. "Uncle, you have a good eye. This is my wife, Xu Qinghe. We registered at the Civil Affairs Bureau in the city this morning and officially became a family. I want to have a lively party at my hometown tomorrow and invite everyone to witness our happiness."
His words revealed an unconcealable joy and pride.
Upon hearing this, Xu Qinghe gently pulled a hand out of Yin Yunjie's arms.
He took out a few beautifully wrapped candies from his trouser pocket with light movements. They reflected an attractive luster in the sunlight.
Her eyes are clear and lively, and every subtle movement exudes gentle charm.
"Uncle, try this candy. It's so sweet. I hope the days in our village will become sweeter and sweeter."
Her voice is soft and clear, like a spring in a mountain stream, which makes people happy.
The appearance of Xu Qinghe was like a breeze that blew away the years of silence in this small village.
Despite living in a repressive environment for a long time and enduring undue grievances.
But her smile still retains that purity and tenacity.
Just like the grass that grows tenaciously in spring, it is warm and full of vitality.
Her every move shows people what true inner beauty is.
Xie Jianjun took the candy, nodded excitedly, and tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.
"Oh, that's great! Seeing you two are such a good match, my heart is sweeter than eating honey. The Yin family has an heir, and your parents can rest in peace in heaven."
The old man's words contained both emotion and beautiful expectations for the future.
On the side, a group of disheveled but energetic children came over after hearing the news.
Their laughter was as sweet as silver bells. They surrounded Xu Qinghe and stretched out their hands one after another, expecting the candies to fall.
Xu Qinghe patiently fulfilled their wishes one by one, and did not forget to ask their names in a soft voice.
The tenderness and delicacy make every child who gets the candy happy.
, vying with each other to call her "Third Aunt", their closeness and love were beyond words.
Yin Yunjie stood quietly by, witnessing all this, his heart filled with unprecedented satisfaction and happiness.
Xu Qinghe's friendliness made him feel both surprised and proud.
He knew that this choice was the best decision he had ever made in his life.
After saying goodbye to the villagers, he got on his old but reliable bicycle, and Xu Qinghe sat lightly on the back seat.
The two of them rode their bicycles slowly forward, heading towards the new life they had woven together.
Leaving behind is a string of laughter and blessings.
Along the way, the sun shone on the winding country roads, and the breeze blew gently, bringing the fragrance of the earth.
As Chen Yu and Xu Qinghe were returning home, they kept seeing neighbors carrying hoes.
Or they would carry baskets to the market, and greet each other warmly when they met, as if every encounter was a long-awaited reunion.
Those repeated similar greetings, such as "Have you eaten?"
"What a nice day today!"
Although simple and plain, it is full of the unique warmth of the countryside.
They also shared the wedding candies in Xu Qinghe's hands, and each piece of candy was like a messenger of sweetness.
The recipients couldn't help but smile, and everyone's face was filled with warm and sincere smiles, like flowers blooming in spring.
Chen Yu stayed with Xu Qinghe all the way to her doorstep.
Their steps did not stop because they reached their destination. Instead, they smiled at each other.
They pushed the cart together tacitly, passed through the slightly mottled but life-filled door of the Xu family's house, and stepped into the small and tidy courtyard of the Xu family.
In the yard, several unknown small flowers bloomed tenaciously in the cracks of the rocks, adding a bit of vitality to this simple courtyard.
Sun Youfang, an old woman who was still upset this morning over a dispute over just twenty yuan.
At this moment, he was sitting on an old rattan chair in the corner of the yard, muttering to himself and complaining constantly.
Her eyes were sometimes confused, sometimes angry, and she obviously couldn't let go of what happened in the morning.
However, when she suddenly looked up, she saw Chen Yu and Xu Qinghe returning with a full load.
For a moment, he thought he was hallucinating and rubbed his slightly cloudy eyes vigorously.
Only when the scene before him became extremely clear did he grin.
There was surprise and a subtle sense of relief in that smile.
"Oh, my little ancestor, what are all these good things? Look, so much rice and flour, and those colorful candies! You little girl, you spend money like water. Be careful that your appetite will turn the big house into a shabby little hut!" Although there was a hint of blame in Sun Youfang's words, her eyes were full of love and care for her granddaughter.
Her hand unconsciously reached out for the heavy bags of goods, and she was thinking about how to quietly move these "treasures" to her room and hide them to prevent Xu Qinghe from "squandering" them all.
Just as Sun Youfang's hand was about to touch the bag of grain, a crisp "pop!" broke the silence of the courtyard.
Xu Qinghe was quick-witted and swift-handed. She slapped Sun Youfang's hand back and glared at her fiercely: "Grandma, you're so impatient before you even know who these things belong to? If you do this again next time, I won't show mercy."
There was unquestionable determination in Xu Qinghe's words, and his eyes seemed to be declaring sovereignty that no one would violate.
It seemed that Xu Qinghe was about to carry these heavy luggages himself.
Yin Yunjie, who was standing by, had already quickly taken over a few small bags, which seemed small but were actually quite heavy, and walked into the house with ease.
The burden that seemed like a mountain in Sun Youfang's eyes seemed to have turned into a light feather in Yin Yunjie's hands. This calmness and strength made Sun Youfang feel an indescribable emotion in her heart.
