Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 225 Wedding
"Come, let us welcome today's bride and groom!"

Just when everyone was stunned by the food on the table, Yi Zhonghai took over the job of emcee without hesitation, then stood at the door of the house, shouting loudly with a smile on his face.

Hearing his words, everyone turned their heads to look towards the door.

The next moment, Li Guoqiang, wearing a light blue Mao suit, walked out of the house slowly, holding the hand of Luo Huijuan, who was wearing a floral dress. They looked like a pair of golden boy and jade girl, and everyone was stunned for a moment.

Especially Luo Huijuan, who usually dresses in a low-key and conservative manner. Now she suddenly wears such a fashionable, beautiful and generous black dress, matched with a pair of black calfskin shoes, which instantly highlights her graceful figure and fair and smooth skin, making it difficult to associate her with the dignified, generous, simple and virtuous girl in the past.

If she was just a piece of unpolished jade before, now she is a piece of radiant jade.

If it weren't for Li Guoqiang's looks that charmed thousands of girls and his tall and straight figure that made countless aunts drool, I'm afraid that the brilliance exuded by Luo Huijuan would have been completely overshadowed by now.

"Oh my God! This bride is so beautiful!"

"Hmm, slurp~ This groom is also very handsome!"

"I really didn't expect that Aunt Meilan actually has such an outstanding son! I remember hearing people say that her son is a sick monster. How come this doesn't make sense at all?"

"Shh! Just shut up! Don't you see where you are? We haven't even started eating yet! Be careful that someone hears you and kicks you out!"

"That won't do. I haven't eaten meat for a while!"

"You said you wanted to eat meat, so why are you staring at the groom?"

"."

As the crowd below began to whisper, Li Guoqiang and Luo Huijuan, under the chairmanship of Yi Zhonghai, shouted out the quotations, then bowed and offered tea to Li Dawei, Yao Meilan and Luo Jiwu respectively, and then bowed to each other.

Finally, with Yi Zhonghai's shout of "the ceremony is over", they completed the wedding ceremony.

"Come on, Qiangzi, say a few words!"

"Okay, then I'll just say a few words to everyone!"

In response to Yi Zhonghai's invitation, Li Guoqiang was not intimidated and immediately nodded and agreed.

After saying that, he pulled Luo Huijuan up to the stone steps at the door, then faced everyone, stretched out his hands and pressed down a few times.

“Good evening, elders, brothers and sisters, distinguished guests.

I would like to first thank everyone for taking time out of their busy schedules to attend my and Juanzi's wedding.

Everyone should know that Juanzi and I have been childhood sweethearts since we grew up together. Now being able to marry her is the blessing I have earned in my previous life.

I promise that I will love and take good care of her in the future and make her the happiest woman in the world."

Hearing this, Luo Huijuan couldn't help but show an extremely moved look on her face, and then she silently grabbed Li Guoqiang's hand to express her loyal feelings for Li Guoqiang.

At this moment, everyone was also moved by Li Guoqiang's heartfelt speech. They clapped and cheered, and the scene became more lively.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang could only stretch out his hand and press down again, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then he spoke loudly: "In addition, I would like to take this opportunity to thank my father and mother. They raised me with great difficulty. Without them, I would not be where I am today."

After saying that, he turned around and bowed deeply to Li Dawei and Yao Meilan.

When Luo Huijuan saw this, she hurriedly followed suit and bowed, the main point being that the husband and wife followed suit.

"Get up, get up!"

Li Dawei and Yao Meilan shouted excitedly while putting their hands to the corners of their eyes to wipe away their tears.

Li Guoqiang stood up straight after hearing this, and then said to everyone: "Well, we have said everything that needs to be said. Now everyone should eat while it is hot! I hope everyone can enjoy and be satisfied with the meal."

As soon as the words fell, everyone reacted instantly and hurriedly grabbed the chopsticks and reached for the dishes on the table.

For a moment, there was the sound of chewing everywhere.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang felt slightly happy, then hurriedly pulled Luo Huijuan to the main table and sat down.

After being busy for most of the day, they were all hungry.

Besides, Sha Zhu’s cooking skills are really good, so of course we have to fill our stomach first, to avoid having the food packed up and taken away by others.

Soon after, Li Guoqiang and Luo Huijuan had filled their stomachs, and then they raised their glasses to toast everyone.

Since there was no such thing as drunk driving these days, and the drinks prepared by Li Guoqiang were all pure specialties brought back from the countryside, everyone drank without any discounts. Some people even found excuses in various ways just to drink more.

As they got drunk, the scene became more and more lively. Even outside the alley, one could hear the noise of shouting and yelling. At the same time, it also successfully attracted some street patrol officers who were patrolling outside.

Upon seeing this, Li Guoqiang immediately handed the man a cigarette and invited him to join him for a few drinks.

After hearing that Li Guoqiang was the outstanding representative who was commended by the old man, the other party was very gracious and drank a few glasses with Li Guoqiang, and also said a lot of congratulations.

Then, they reminded Li Guoqiang in a somewhat subtle way not to make trouble too late to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

Of course Li Guoqiang had no objection to this and agreed immediately.

Then, after seeing the other party off, he and Luo Huijuan held up their wine glasses, thanked everyone again, and reminded everyone to be careful when returning home.

After hearing what he said, everyone immediately realized that it was getting late, and they rushed to take out the lunch boxes they brought with them to pack up.

Soon, the scene became chaotic, just like the scramble for discounted eggs in a supermarket.

If Li Dawei and Yao Meilan hadn't been waiting at the kitchen door in advance, and if Sha Zhu hadn't been watching them closely, even the pots in the kitchen would have been taken away.

The chaos lasted for a while, and as the food on the table was cleared away, the guests left one after another. In the end, only seven or eight neighbors who helped with the banquet and the three uncles Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui were left.

Among them, Yan Bugui stayed mainly to check the gift list and gift money with Li Guoqiang, while Yi Zhonghai wanted to get closer to Li Guoqiang and then find out how Li Guoqiang cured his illness.

Apart from this, Liu Haizhong's reason was even simpler. He simply saw that Li Guoqiang was commended by the old man and wanted to learn from Li Guoqiang. He hoped that one day he could be appreciated and commended by a senior leader like Li Guoqiang.

After seeing off the other guests, Li Guoqiang came back and saw the three old men sitting at the table calmly. He couldn't help but laugh and hurried over to them, clasped his fists and expressed his gratitude.

"Uncle One, Uncle Two, Uncle Three, I'm really sorry to bother you today. If it weren't for your help in organizing and arranging the wedding, Juanzi and I wouldn't have gone so smoothly.

Next time when there is a chance, I will prepare some good wine and food and invite you three to come to my house for a few drinks!" The implication is that you three should hurry home now!
As the elders in the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui could naturally understand the meaning of Li Guoqiang's words.

Then, Yan Bugui was the first to wave his hand and said with a smile: "Qiang Zi, you are too polite. We are all neighbors. Your marriage is such a great thing, and it is our duty to help and lend a hand.

Also, this is the gift money and gift list I received today, can you take a look and see if there is anything wrong with it?"

After saying that, he took out a small stack of money and a piece of red paper from his pocket and handed it over.

When Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong saw this scene, they could only swallow back the words that were on the tip of their tongues. They planned to wait until Li Guoqiang and Yan Bugui finished their business before having a good chat with Li Guoqiang.

However, they did not expect that after checking the gift list and gift money, Li Guoqiang immediately made an excuse that he felt a little dizzy, turned into the house to rest, and asked Luo Huijuan to come and help greet them.

They had nothing to say to the bride, Luo Huijuan, and in the end they could only take a red envelope from Li Dawei and leave in a huff.

At the same time, Yao Meilan also kept a small portion of the leftovers in the kitchen, and then distributed most of the leftovers to Sha Zhu, Qin Huairu, Qin Jingru and other people who came to help with the banquet, and also gave them each a red envelope.

Sha Zhu, Qin Huairu, Qin Jingru and others felt satisfied after receiving such a great benefit. They hurriedly helped Yao Meilan to return all the tables, chairs and benches, and also did not forget to keep the place clean.

I was busy like this until after ten o'clock in the evening, and finally I finished cleaning the entire courtyard.

Fortunately, it is already summer now, and the temperature is not too low even at night. Instead, it seems even cooler.

After Sha Zhu and the others had all left, Li Dawei and Yao Meilan immediately urged Li Guoqiang and Luo Huijuan to hurry to Lao Luo's house to complete the remaining marriage procedures.

As it was already late, Li Guoqiang and Luo Huijuan did not hesitate and left the courtyard hand in hand. Then, with flashlights in hand and riding their bicycles, they headed towards Lao Luo's house.

During the day, Yao Meilan took time to decorate the new house.

Therefore, when Luo Huijuan pushed open the door and walked into the room, the first thing she saw was a small piece of white cloth spread on the bed, and her cheeks immediately blushed.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang suddenly felt happy.

He didn't expect that even though we had already entered a new society, Yao Meilan would still organize such a ceremony. She was worthy of being able to cultivate a traditional, virtuous, generous and beautiful woman like Luo Huijuan.

Afterwards, he did not rush to complete the ceremony, but asked Luo Huijuan to boil a pot of hot water and prepare to take a bath first.

When Luo Huijuan saw that Li Guoqiang was not in a hurry to start, she instantly felt relieved and hurried to the kitchen to fetch water and boil water.

After Luo Huijuan left, Li Guoqiang immediately took out a tiger-skin blanket from his small room and spread it on the bed.

Then he took out the big red "囍" character, dragon and phoenix candles and colorful petals that he had prepared in advance and decorated the room carefully.

When Luo Huijuan came back after boiling the water, she was attracted by the red fire in the house, the double happiness characters everywhere and the flower petals spread out in a heart shape on the ground as soon as she entered the door. A happy smile instantly appeared on her face.

Although she is a traditional girl at heart, she is not ignorant of the romance of the new society.

"How's it going? Do you like it?"

Li Guoqiang smiled slightly when he saw this, then slowly walked forward, hugged Luo Huijuan in his arms, leaned close to her ear and whispered.

"like!"

Luo Huijuan nodded vigorously, then raised her head tenderly and looked at Li Guoqiang's face, which had long been engraved in her heart, her eyes full of love.

"Then let's go take a bath first!"

Li Guoqiang looked at Luo Huijuan's bright and watery eyes and suggested softly.

"Ok!"

Luo Huijuan nodded slightly in agreement, then let Li Guoqiang hug her and turned to walk towards the kitchen.

Perhaps he had already considered the issue of bathing, Li Guoqiang had already taken time out during the day to buy a large wooden barrel and had it delivered here.

With a splash of water, two white water snakes were suddenly immersed in the big wooden barrel.

In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.

As time passed, a ray of sunlight sneaked into the window, then slowly climbed up the colorful, shiny tiger-skin blanket, and finally poured onto a beautiful figure.

Perhaps feeling the heat of the sun, his brows trembled slightly, and then he gently opened his eyelids.

The next moment, what came into view was a face as handsome as a sculpture, which instantly made her heart beat fast. Her mind also recalled the unforgettable wedding of yesterday, as well as the warm, sweet and romantic night.

This made her feel that all her persistence and waiting for so long were very worthwhile.

"Oh, you're awake!"

At some point, Li Guoqiang had opened his eyes, and then he smiled half dotingly, half mischievously.

"Ok!"

Luo Huijuan came back to her senses, nodded slightly, and then lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly.

But soon, she was frightened by a bad guy and quickly raised her head again.

"what!"

Li Guoqiang was delighted, and then he laughed and said, "It's getting late now, let's get up and go home!"

"Ok!"

Luo Huijuan turned her head to look out the window and found that the sun was shining brightly outside. She nodded hurriedly and then slowly sat up.

Under the reflection of the sunlight, its perfect figure is instantly revealed.

Soon, she put on the floral dress again, sat in front of the dressing table, picked up the comb and prepared to comb her hair.

However, when her eyes met her own reflection in the mirror, she was immediately shocked by her own rosy, charming and beautiful face.

this.
Is this me?
