On the eve of the Spring Festival, the quiet little place of Yuzhou Chalukou welcomed the long-awaited bustle.
The third couple, Osa and Huang Yunxi, the fourth couple, Xiao Weiyi and Yang Jiadong, and Xiao Zhenxi and Wang Yue, gathered here, filling the Xiao family with laughter and a strong festive atmosphere.
As soon as Osa and Huang Yunxi arrived at the Xiao family, they were warmly welcomed by the two elders, Xiao Zhengtang and Wen Yunshu.
Huang Yunxi affectionately took Wen Yunshu's arm and said with a smile, "Grandma, I've been looking forward to coming to see you and Grandpa."
Wen Yunshu couldn't stop smiling and kept praising Huang Yunxi for being sensible.
Osa respectfully greeted Xiao Zhengtang and Xiao Zhen and said, "Grandpa, Dad, I came back this time to celebrate the New Year with my family and to discuss my marriage with Yunxi with you."
Xiao Zhenxi and Wang Yue also arrived shortly afterwards. Wang Yue was a little nervous as it was her first time at the Xiao family's house, but the Xiao family's hospitality quickly put her at ease.
Xiao Zhenxi looked at the lively scene at home, a happy smile on his face.
The family sat together, and Osa spoke first: "Grandpa, Dad, Yunxi and I have discussed it and want to hold the wedding in April at the Royal Palace in Amman, Jordan. This is what grandma and uncle want.
The Jordanian royal family is very supportive of us, and preparations for the wedding are proceeding smoothly."
Xiao Zhengtang nodded and said, “Getting married in the royal palace is a big deal, and it also shows Jordan’s respect for our family.
You must prepare well and have a grand wedding."
Xiao Zhen also agreed: "Osa, this is a major event in your life, you must complete it successfully. If you need any help from your family, just let me know."
Then, Xiao Weiyi and Yang Jiadong also talked about their wedding plans.
Xiao Weiyi said shyly, "Grandpa, Dad, Jiadong is a civil servant, and the nature of his work is quite special. We have discussed holding a family dinner at Yang's home in Shanghai and keeping a low profile on the wedding."
Xiao Zhengtang nodded in understanding: "That's fine too, let's keep the wedding low-key and live a down-to-earth life.
The Yang family is also a good family. You should support each other and live a good life in the future."
Xiao Zhen looked at Weiyi with loving eyes: "Weiyi, as long as you are happy, even if the wedding is simple, the sense of ceremony should not be missing."
At this time, Xiao Zhenxi also stood up and said, "Grandpa, Dad, I received an order to study at the Aerospace Advanced Command Department of the National Defense University a few years ago, and I rushed back after handing over my work.
I came back with Wang Yue this time because I wanted you to get to know her better."
Wang Yue smiled and greeted the two elders: "Grandpa, uncle, I'm very happy to meet you.
Zhenxi and I have been getting along well for a while now and I feel like we get along very well.”
Xiao Zhengtang looked at Wang Yue and said with satisfaction: "Okay, okay. Miss, if our Zhenxi does anything wrong in the future, please bear with me."
In the following days, the three couples spent a warm and lively Spring Festival at Yuzhou Chalukou.
During the day, everyone puts up Spring Festival couplets and hangs lanterns to decorate the house with a festive atmosphere.
The children were laughing and playing in the yard. Sheng Yi and Sheng Wei were curious about the Middle Eastern gifts brought by Osa and Huang Yunxi, and kept asking questions.
Osa patiently explained to them the customs and culture of Jordan and taught them some simple Arabic.
Huang Yunxi was busy in the kitchen with Wen Yunshu and Guo Huiru, learning how to make traditional Yuzhou cuisine.
She is used to the spicy taste of Yuzhou cuisine and ate it with gusto. She also said with a smile that she wanted to bring the recipes of these delicacies back to Jordan.
Xiao Weiyi and Yang Jiadong chatted with Xiao Zhengtang and Xiao Zhen, sharing their life in Shanghai.
Xiao Weiyi also took out some sketches she designed for the wedding to show everyone her creativity.
"Grandpa, Dad, look, I want to make our wedding warm and artistic, incorporating some Shanghai alleyway elements and combining them with the traditional style of Yang's family."
Xiao Zhengtang and Xiao Zhen looked at the sketch and praised it repeatedly. Xiao Zhen said, "Youyi, your design is very thoughtful. I believe the wedding will be very special."
Xiao Zhenxi and Wang Yue strolled together on the village path, feeling the tranquility and simplicity of the countryside.
Wang Yue was curious about everything here. She looked at the crops in the fields and asked Xiao Zhenxi, "What are these? This is my hometown, but by the time I was old enough to understand, my father had already been transferred to Jiangnan Province. I'm quite familiar with Jinling."
Xiao Zhenxi patiently explained everything to her, and their relationship grew deeper in the process.
After the Spring Festival, Osa and Huang Yunxi returned to Jordan to continue preparing for their grand wedding.
Osa was busy communicating the details of the wedding with the royal family members, while Huang Yunxi carefully selected the wedding dress and wedding decorations.
She also invited Xiao Weiyi to be her bridesmaid. Xiao Weiyi happily agreed and began to prepare to be a bridesmaid.
As for Odin and Leonor, well, we have successfully prepared for pregnancy, and it has only been 3 months, so we will not be returning to Yuzhou for the Spring Festival this time.
After the New Year, Xiao Zhengtang and Wen Yunshu planned to fly to Palma Cliff Manor for a short stay and bring Leonor to Palma to take care of the pregnancy.
It just so happened that Xiao Zhengtang took the opportunity to introduce the behind-the-scenes players of the European old money family to Odin and the second family Guangzong.
Xiao Weiyi and Yang Jiadong returned to Shanghai and began to prepare for their family wedding.
Yang Jiadong was busy inviting relatives and friends, while Xiao Weiyi was carefully preparing the clothes and various small items for the wedding day.
She also went with Yang Jiadong to select the wedding candies to be used at the wedding. Each piece was carefully chosen, hoping to bring sweet blessings to relatives and friends.
Xiao Zhenxi went to the National Defense University to report and began his journey of further study.
Wang Yue returned to Northwestern Polytechnical University to continue her studies. Although the two were temporarily separated, they shared each other's lives through phone calls and videos every day.
At Jinling Huakang Biological Research Institute, Xiao Zhen was also paying attention to the wedding preparations of the three couples, while devoting himself to scientific research.
He hopes that while his children grow up happily and start their own families, he can also make more breakthroughs in scientific research and make greater contributions to the country's deep space exploration.
The family's happy events and the heavy responsibility of scientific research make Xiao Zhen's life busy and fulfilling. He looks forward to his children's weddings coming soon and witnessing them start a new chapter in their lives.
At the same time, Zhennan, who did not return to his hometown in Yuzhou during the Spring Festival, has made a major breakthrough in the field of deep space environment.
After receiving the news, Xiao Zhen teased his eldest son on the phone, saying that the Nobel Prize was going to be awarded to Zhennan in physics and biology, and that he deserved it. Alas, his eldest son was two years younger than Xiao Zhen and had won the Nobel Prize.
