Chapter 1363: Chapter 1359: Niu Ming’s Wedding
After two days away, coming home, Wang Cai stuck to Chen Yang like a plaster.
He clung to Chen Yang’s foot, whining and making ingratiating sounds.
At first glance, others might think that Wang Cai was intelligent and missed his owner.
But in reality, Chen Yang knew clearly that this guy just wanted the Elixir, not him.
"Come, come, here you go."
Feeling a bit annoyed, Chen Yang quickly took out two Elixirs from his pocket and tossed them to him.
Sure enough, after getting the Elixirs, Wang Cai immediately stopped clinging and dashed into the yard.
"This guy, really practical."
Chen Yang shook his head helplessly and then went to the backyard to give Eagle Brother two Elixirs too.
After being away for two days, Eagle Brother didn’t get to eat any Elixirs either.
Although it wouldn’t act like Wang Cai, deep down, it definitely wanted to eat them too.
Since Wang Cai got two, Eagle Brother certainly couldn’t get less.
They’re all family spirit beasts, so naturally, Chen Yang wanted to treat them equally.
After giving Eagle Brother the Elixirs, Chen Yang then went to the kitchen to prepare his lunch.
After lunch, he followed Li Han’s suggestion and went out to Uncle Niu’s house at the village entrance.
When calculating carefully, tomorrow was Niu Ming’s wedding. Who knows what’s the situation at his house now.
Chen Yang walked alone to the village entrance.
From a distance, Chen Yang saw that Uncle Niu’s house was already decorated festively and full of joy.
At the door, there was a small van loaded with decorative items and tableware needed for the banquet.
"Niu Ming, that kid, is quite something; everything’s almost set up."
Chen Yang smiled slightly and stepped into Uncle Niu’s house.
"Hang the lantern over here, yes, yes, this spot is just right."
As soon as he entered, Chen Yang saw Uncle Niu joyfully directing people to install lanterns inside.
Although Uncle Niu’s house was old, it appeared very cozy dressed in these festive decorations.
"Uncle Niu, you’re busy."
Chen Yang walked over with a smile and spoke to Uncle Niu.
Upon hearing the voice, Uncle Niu looked over, his face full of joy.
"Yo, Yang Zi, what brings you here?" Uncle Niu laughed heartily, unable to hide his smile.
"Isn’t Niu Ming getting married? I thought I’d come to lend a hand or something, but looking around, you seem to have everything more or less decorated."
Chen Yang glanced around the room, noticing not only many festive items posted around but also lots of furniture replacements.
"Hehe, yes, Niu Ming is getting more and more competent, a lot of things I don’t even need to worry about, he’s handled everything on his own," Uncle Niu said with a smile.
Chen Yang chuckled at these words and then asked, "Uncle Niu, where is Niu Ming then? If you don’t need help here, I will go find him."
"He went to rent wedding cars and send out invitations, most of the things at home are already done, no need for your help, Yang Zi," Uncle Niu said.
Seeing there was no need to help, Chen Yang didn’t insist either.
After exchanging a few casual words with Uncle Niu while standing by, he left his house.
That afternoon, with nothing much to do, Chen Yang roamed around the village a few times, and another day passed.
By the next early morning.
As dawn was just breaking, the village was already bustling.
The sound of firecrackers and car engines created a lively atmosphere.
Hearing the commotion, Chen Yang got up, tidied up, and prepared to join in the excitement, when coincidentally, the four women also arrived at his doorstep.
"Hey, Chen Yang, you’re up early. On the way, I was wondering if you were still snoozing in bed," Yang Ruoxi smiled lightly, stepping onto the porch.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yang immediately gave her a side glance.
"How could I? With Niu Ming getting married today, how could I, as a childhood friend, not get up early?"
The four women all chuckled at his words, and no one said anything more.
"Let’s go together, we might be able to help, lots of aunties in the village have gone over to lend a hand," Wu Kexin said.
"Alright."
Chen Yang nodded, then headed with the four women to Uncle Niu’s house at the village entrance.
Yesterday, Uncle Niu’s house was already festively decorated.
Today, it’s even livelier.
Wedding cars were lined up at the entrance, and many enthusiastic aunties from the village were helping at Niu Ming’s house.
Niu Ming himself was dressed in a groom’s suit, busy and dizzy from running around.
Nonetheless, upon seeing Chen Yang, he immediately came over.
"Yang Zi, you came just in time! Quick, come with me to change clothes!" Niu Ming excitedly walked over to Chen Yang, pulling his hand, wanting to go inside.
Both Chen Yang and the four women were a bit stunned.
"Change clothes? For what?" Chen Yang asked in surprise.
Niu Ming naturally replied, "Of course for the groomsman’s suit, I wanted to ask you to come along yesterday, but seeing you were not at home, I took the liberty of ordering a set for you, go try it on, if it’s not fitting, there’s time to alter it."
Hearing he was to be a groomsman, Chen Yang couldn’t help but smile wryly, he only intended to show up, how did it come to this.
Chen Yang was about to politely refuse, but the four women on the side grinned and spoke up for Niu Ming.
"Haha, Chen Yang, as a childhood and close friend, you have to be the groomsman."
"That’s right, Chen Yang, hurry and go change with Niu Ming, let us also see how you look in a suit."
...
Originally wanting to refuse, Chen Yang ultimately got half-coaxed, half-dragged by Niu Ming and the four women into the room to change into the groomsman’s suit.
After changing and stepping out, people started to tease Chen Yang on the spot.
"Yo, isn’t this our Yang Zi! Wearing a suit, grandmother almost didn’t recognize him, looking so sharp!" the village aunties teased.
The four women laughingly chimed in, "Haha, indeed, very sharp, very handsome, but today’s star is Niu Ming, Niu Ming is the most handsome."
Uncle Niu’s house was bustling, with everyone chatting and laughing, having a great time.
Though reluctant to be a groomsman, Chen Yang couldn’t help but feel genuinely happy inside.
The village hadn’t had such a joyous occasion in years, and he nearly forgot the feeling of attending a wedding.
After the excitement, Chen Yang helped Niu Ming with some wedding preparations and, as the time came, joined him in the same vehicle.
With the vehicle procession, they went to the bride’s house to fetch her.
The entire wedding atmosphere was excellent.
The process followed the village’s customary proceedings strictly.
Along the way, Chen Yang helped Niu Ming a lot.
When they brought the bride back to Liuhe Village, the banquet was already set and everything arranged.
Niu Ming and Cuiqin completed their wedding in front of family, friends, and village aunties.
After the wedding ended and the banquet concluded, Niu Ming particularly brought Cuiqin over, holding their wine glasses, to Chen Yang’s table.
"Chen Yang, Cuiqin and I offer you a toast," Niu Ming solemnly raised his glass.
Chen Yang was joking with the four women at that moment, and on hearing the voice, he quickly turned around and stood up.
"Oh, oh, okay." Chen Yang, coming to his senses, also picked up his wine glass and clinked it with Niu Ming’s, draining it together.
