Dreaming of Lion Rock: Recipe in Hand

Chapter 192: Happy Wedding

Without further ado, within two days, Chunni and her husband brought Xiazhi to the house to formally propose marriage. Yun's parents simply chose a double date nearby, which was October 10, as the wedding day. In this way, the couple could stay at home for half a month after getting married before returning to the army.

In the blink of an eye, it was October 10st, and Chunni's house was already bustling with people.

In order to get married on Xiazhi, Chunni prepared three big things: a sewing machine, a TV, and a radio. Plus the gift money of 1000 yuan, not to mention in Shizishan, it is not low in the Chengdu marriage market.

Chunni had to breastfeed the twins, a boy and a girl, and couldn't be away, so the glorious mission of picking up the bride had to be handed over to her brother-in-law He Yanqing.

He Yanqing was going to accompany Xia Zhi to Chengdu to pick up the bride. He borrowed a small car from his unit, and together with the one that Guan Jian brought from his unit, the two cars were going to Chengdu the day before the wedding.

How did Guan Jian know about Xia Zhi's wedding? Of course Chu Hua came, so Guan Jian had to come too!

The three big items were placed in the trunk, and the betrothal gifts were carried by He Yanqing himself. As for the pork, chicken and duck for the gift, these meats were provided by Qiu Guo and her partner in Chengdu. Wedding candies, wedding cakes, beans and grains were also loaded into the car.

There were two drivers on the bus, He Yanqing, Xia Zhi, Bang Ming, Sun Ping, and my uncle and his wife. They headed towards Chengdu under the gaze of their fellow villagers.

"Chun Ni's family is incredible. Xia Zhi married a city girl, and they even sent two cars to pick her up. Tsk tsk."

"You may be envious, but when I got married, the old man carried me back in a sedan chair."

"You are all lucky. I came here on foot. Oh, it makes me angry just thinking about it. If life hadn't been better in the past two years, I would have..."

Xia Zhi could not hear the gossips of the village women and felt dizzy all the way. It felt like the car had just left home and arrived in Chengdu.

He Yanqing went to find Qiu Guo first, and sure enough, Wang Ran and Yan Ning were waiting at the door!

Wang Ran was thoughtful and borrowed a tricycle from somewhere. "Brother-in-law, let's go to the ceremony quickly. It will be bad if we delay until the afternoon."

He Yanqing was not polite. It was not a good idea to put the chicken, duck and pork in the borrowed car. He told his two sisters, "You two should take the train home quickly. We still need help at home!"

"Brother-in-law, please go quickly! Don't make my brother wait anxiously."

Qiu Guo took Yan Ning's hand and walked towards the train station with a smile on her face.

At this time, the Yun family was also full of guests and friends, just waiting for the new son-in-law to arrive!

The Yun family had been waiting at the street corner for a long time. When they saw Bie Yi coming, they hurriedly shouted, "Here he comes, here he comes, the new son-in-law is here."

A bunch of relatives from near and far came to the street corner to watch.

"Yun Shu is a great son-in-law. He actually brought two cars. Didn't they say that their family is from the countryside? This is a bigger show than the wedding of my second aunt's eldest daughter!"

"He said he was a soldier. He must be quite capable!"

The car couldn't drive into the alley and had to stop at the intersection.

The bride-picking team got out of the car one after another and carried the things needed for the gift-giving ceremony out of the car. He Yanqing checked the seals one by one and found that they were all neatly wrapped.

He Yanqing took out a pair of brand new baskets from the car to hold the pork.

There was a whole pig, and none of the entourage could carry it alone, so they had to carry it.

"Oh my, it's actually a whole fat pig. The Yun family will need to eat it for half a year!"

"Yes, it's cheap to feed pigs in the country, and it's cheap to eat meat too."

“No matter how cheap it is, it’s still a whole pig!”

Yunpeng came to join in the fun, and was drafted by He Yanqing. "Yunpeng, go get some people to help, we don't have enough people."

Yun Peng waved his hand, and several strong young men from the Yun family's relatives came out, "Dear brothers and uncles, my sister is coming to give gifts today, please give me a hand."

"no problem."

The gift-giving procession headed towards the Yun family. First came the three big items, then pork, two chickens, two ducks, two geese, peanuts, longans, dates, beans, rice, wheat, wedding candies, wedding cakes... it went on and on.

Many neighbors came to watch the fun, pointing at the gifts and talking about them.

"Yun Shu's in-laws really like her, so the gift will cost around 1000 yuan."

“Some things can’t be bought with money.”

"Isn't it that Yunshu is not in good health? Does the new son-in-law know..."

"Stop talking, Yun Shu's mother is going to kill you."

"Yes, I finally found a husband's family, but it was ruined because of your nonsense. It's not good."

"It is better to demolish ten temples than to ruin a marriage."

"That's right. That's right."

"Actually, Yunshu's conditions are impeccable. She has a good figure and a good job. But that..."

The groom-to-be, Xia Zhi, had already laughed himself silly and was unable to hear the discussions. All he could think about was, “I’m getting married to Yun Shu. We’re getting married.”

The fool Xia Zhi was surrounded by people and entered the Yun family, smiling like a flower.

Yun's parents warmly welcomed their son-in-law and his entourage and treated them to a sumptuous lunch.

He Yanqing led the others and dragged the dumbfounded Xia Zhi back to the guesthouse. They were going to pick up the bride and take her back to Lion Mountain on the next day.

At dawn the next day, everyone said goodbye to the tearful Yun family parents and followed the bride back home. As for the brother-in-law Yun Peng, of course he had to see his sister off!

It was a smooth journey on the way here, and it was also smooth on the way back.

As the car drove into the village, children swarmed over. The silly Xia Zhi patted Yun Shu to comfort him, then got out of the car and distributed wedding candies.

He Yanqing couldn't bear it anymore, so he scattered all the wedding candies on the ground and pulled Xia Zhi back to the car.

"Fool, there are more and more people surrounding us, there is no peace, it is better to go home first."

Foolish Summer Solstice...

Chunni had been waiting at the door for a long time. When she saw the car coming towards them, the villagers with good sense went to light firecrackers.

Crackling, crackling.

The car parked and Xia Zhi carried Yun Shu into the new house.

Yun Shu knew most of the people in the new house. She had met them when she went to the countryside. Thinking about how Xia Zhi was still her student at that time, and how he became her man in the blink of an eye, Yun Shu blushed like the morning glow.

Chunni stepped forward and held Yunshu's hand, "Welcome back to Lion Rock, welcome to marry into my family."

Yun Shu finally smiled with relief, and that smile seemed to have brought him back to the days when he was an educated youth, warm and clear.
