"That's perfect! Let's set off fireworks tonight to celebrate and let the people at the base share in the joy." Jian Anping had already planned it all out.
I'll call all the brothers I've met here over. It's my sister's wedding, so we have to give them the proper welcome. The more people there are, the more lively it will be. With so many supplies, we won't be short of a few bites to eat for them.
So the next ten days or so were really busy. Aunt Wang insisted on setting up a few more tables, because a wedding is a joyous occasion.
Even though we don't know where our relatives and friends are, we still need to keep the place lively.
After discussion, it was decided to hold the wedding banquet in the military canteen at the base. Xiao Lingfeng could handle this; the canteen had large stoves and tables and chairs readily available.
Giving the head chef some supplies would also allow us to hire them to help with cooking; otherwise, with so many tables, our family wouldn't be able to manage.
The supplies that Jian Ning and Xiao Lingfeng brought back this time will be quite useful for their wedding.
Even the bedroom curtains were those heavy European-style curtains in gold and red with lace, which looked magnificent, or as she put it sweetly.
This is clearly a princess's room. She'll use a room like this when she gets married.
Huang Fugui laughed at her for days after hearing this. "So young, and already thinking about marriage!" Tian Tian chased after him and gave him a good beating.
On her wedding day, a lot of people came to the base. Although Jian Ning didn't know most of them, at least it was lively.
Cao Xue served as her bridesmaid, wearing her best dress.
She also did Jian Ning's makeup and put her hair up in a simple bun.
Given the current conditions, and without a makeup artist to accompany you, it's fine to do it yourself. The main thing is that Jian Ning is good-looking. In Cao Xue's words, with Jian Ning's looks, she would look good even in a burlap sack.
Jian Anping found a friend to be the emcee. This young man used to work in this field, and he was very good at speaking.
He hosted the entire wedding with great enthusiasm. Xiao Lingfeng looked incredibly handsome today; he was dressed up specially, and standing next to Jian Ning, they were truly a perfect match. A match made in heaven.
The wedding ring was a huge pink diamond, which the couple bought for free at a jewelry store in Russia. It looked incredibly beautiful on Jianning's slender, fair fingers.
And the food at today's wedding banquet was really good.
Each table has twenty dishes, including chicken, duck, fish, meat, and four-happiness meatballs—nothing is missing.
If it weren't for the somewhat rudimentary cafeteria, it wouldn't be much different from weddings held in grand hotels in the past.
Jian Ning noticed that several people were secretly wiping away tears during the meal, probably thinking about the time before the apocalypse. But since it was a joyous occasion for them, they couldn't cry, so they could only secretly wipe their eyes.
Grandma Wang sat in the main seat, beaming from ear to ear. She had finally waited for the day her youngest son would get married, and the daughter-in-law he had married was exactly what she wanted.
If I give her a big, healthy grandson in two years, my life will be complete.
The ceremony proceeded quickly. During the meal, Fu Mengfan handed Xiao Lingfeng a cardboard box. It had a pink bow tied to it, and no one knew where it came from.
"Happy wedding, this is my wedding gift to you both."
"Thank you," Xiao Lingfeng said, taking the package and placing it on the table.
Jian Ning was very curious about what was in the box. While Fu Mengfan was drinking, she quietly took the box, opened it, and her eyes widened in surprise.
A set of exquisite phoenix crowns is made of agate, jade, turquoise, and coral flowers, and is gilded.
The craftsmanship is absolutely exquisite. If this were ancient times, only a princess could use it, and the jade on it seems to possess a subtle, ethereal quality. It's clearly a genuine ancient artifact, something that modern techniques couldn't replicate.
"Dr. Fu, isn't this too expensive?" Jian Ning looked up at Fu Mengfan and asked.
"I acquired it by chance. Flowers go well with beautiful women. I feel that only when my younger brother and sister-in-law wear this set of jewelry will it shine as it should."
"Then I'll accept it, thank you Dr. Fu."
Jian Ning really loved it; the jewelry looked absolutely stunning with her bright red cheongsam. She even forgot to eat. She dragged Cao Xue to an empty room in the back and put the jewelry on her head.
"Jian Ning, you're like an ancient royal princess who stepped out of a painting! You're so beautiful! Don't move yet, let me get the camera and take a few more pictures of you." Cao Xue's face was full of amazement.
I dashed out, grabbed the camera, and took lots of pictures of her before we came out together.
When Jian Ning stepped into the cafeteria again, the room was completely silent. Then came a chorus of praises, all complimenting the bride's beauty, which made her extremely happy.
When I got home at night, it was almost time to go to bed, but I was still reluctant to take off the headdress.
"You're not planning to sleep like this tonight, are you?"
Xiao Lingfeng had drunk quite a bit today, but not too much. Coming upstairs, he saw Jian Ning still admiring herself in the mirror. He smiled and asked...
"Of course not, I was just waiting for you to help me. This hair is tied up so tightly that I can't take it off myself." Jian Ning turned around and smiled, her eyes sparkling. In that instant, it was as if time in the whole world had stood still.
Xiao Lingfeng felt his heart beating faster and faster, pounding as if it was about to jump out of his chest. At this moment, Jian Ning was incredibly beautiful in his eyes, like a fairy descended from heaven.
He strode over, pulled Jian Ning into his arms, and cupped her chin in his large hand, lifting her jeweled face. He eagerly kissed her.
The sweet kiss carried a faint scent of wine, making Jian Ning seem intoxicated as well.
After a long while, Xiao Lingfeng finally raised his head and carefully removed the ornaments from Jian Ning's head one by one.
Her hair was loosened. Her long, flowing hair cascaded over her shoulders, highlighting Jian Ning's rosy cheeks, making Xiao Lingfeng feel like he was losing control of himself. He couldn't wait to devour her whole.
He lowered his head and gently kissed the tip of her nose. His voice was hoarse as he said, "Go take a shower, I'll wait for you."
Jian Ning blushed. Although she knew that this step would definitely happen when she got married, she was a little shy because the wedding night was just around the corner.
With his head down, he vanished in a flash, disappearing directly into the space.
Xiao Lingfeng felt his arms suddenly empty, and the person was gone. He couldn't help but sigh. It seemed he couldn't make his wife angry in the future, otherwise he wouldn't have anywhere to find her if she wanted to hide.
He took off his suit jacket and took a cold shower. The day was still hot and humid. If it weren't for his cultivation that made him immune to heat and cold, he would have been covered in sweat just from wearing the suit.
