November 17th, Li Weihao returned from his vacation.
The Li family was preparing to depart for the capital.
With the weather turning cold, the elderly and children stayed at home, while only the core members of the Li family's second generation traveled to the capital.
On the 19th, the Li family arrived at the top floor of Jingyuan Company.
Li Weihao was very satisfied with his new bedroom and thanked his mother.
Tian Jing pointed to the two people behind her, "Your aunt and aunt are the most hardworking."
Li Weihao quickly thanked the two elders, "Thank you, aunt and aunt, for your hard work."
On Saturday morning, the 20th, County Magistrate Li, who had arrived by train, arrived not long after. Li Weiyan, Li Weixin, and Han Lushi also came, bringing the two little ones, Jiqing and Jixiang.
Li Weibo went directly to Beishi Province and drove a seven-seater car to pick up his wife and children.
After lunch, Tian Jing took everyone to buy formal attire.
Men and women shopped separately, and they returned to the top floor of Jingyuan Company before dark.
After dinner, Li Weibo put his son on the new bed and let him roll around a few times, then called for the groom to give red envelopes.
The groom was not satisfied: "I wanted a daughter, and you made Siji roll on the bed, deliberately angering me. I won't give you anything."
Li Weibo threatened, "Then I'll ask Jiqing and Jixiang to roll."
Li Weihao was speechless. He wondered if he could hit someone today.
Tian Jing took out a large red envelope and stuffed it into her grandson's cotton-padded jacket, "Grandma will give it. For Siji to roll on the bed, that's your uncle's good fortune."
Li Weihao smiled and snatched his nephew, "You brat, don't you know your uncle doesn't want a boy?"
Yu Siji, who was over ten months old, stared at his uncle's face and gave a toothless smile.
...
On the 21st, the groom woke up very, very early, waking everyone up, saying he was nervous.
Li Min yawned as she made breakfast, "If it weren't for your official position today, you definitely wouldn't escape my big slap."
Ouyang Meihua pushed her husband to the groom's side, "Go and teach him."
The men, who had been through it before, went to teach the groom, while the women tidied themselves up.
After breakfast, Li Weiyan drove his newly purchased seven-seater car with the groom to the florist they had arranged to decorate the car. Then, they drove to the bride's makeup shop to wait for the bride.
Around nine o'clock, the Li family, all dressed up, went to the hotel booked by the Li family.
The father-in-law of the second and third sons of the Li family was a businessman, and many relatives were ordinary people, so a banquet at the hotel was appropriate.
When the Li family arrived, it was only ten-thirty, and the Li family had also just arrived.
Not long after, the new car arrived.
The car door opened, the groom got out, and extended his hand to the bride in the car.
Li Wanzhen in the passenger seat quickly opened a red umbrella, shielding her elder sister.
At the hotel lobby entrance, the bride and groom stood opposite their parents (father-in-law and mother-in-law) awaiting guests.
The best man Li Weiyan and the bridesmaid Li Wanzhen stood behind the newlyweds.
Li Weiyan quietly asked Li Wanzhen, for their wedding next year, who would be her bridesmaid?
Li Wanzhen shook her head. She didn't know. There were many young girls from her two aunts' families, and she didn't know who would be chosen.
Li Weiyan looked at the family members who had already taken their seats. At that time, Ranran or Xiaoyu should be asked, An'an already had a partner.
Tian Jing and Li Zhengguo did not need to wait at the entrance to receive guests. Jiang Yuanzhu, the second aunt of the Li family, and Sun Xuelan, the third aunt of the Li family, brought their respective maternal relatives to meet them.
Tian Jing and Li Zhengguo politely conversed with the Jiang and Sun families about various official matters.
Both families were businessmen and were very cordial, so the conversation went well.
After chatting for a while, the two families politely left and went to their respective tables.
The Li family's social circle overlapped significantly with the Shen family's social circle, and many people from within the circle came to congratulate Tian Jing.
Tian Jing smiled and thanked them.
This left those people stunned. Where was Captain Tian's usual aloofness?
Captain Tian would not tell them that she was a slow-to-warm-up type. If they met again next time, they would see if her smile would be even warmer.
The wedding ceremony was hosted by the hotel's emcee, and Shen Laoye, the matchmaker, was the first to speak on stage.
Afterward, the parents of the bride and groom went on stage to speak.
Tian Jing ceded the stage to County Magistrate Li and played a supporting role.
County Magistrate Li offered his sincere blessings.
Li Jinghua earnestly asked Li Weihao to treat his eldest daughter well.
Li Weihao nodded vigorously.
The emcee announced the next segment, inviting the witness to the stage.
Zeng Jingrong appeared from nowhere, jumped onto the stage, holding two marriage certificates, and began to read.
After reading, he also expressed his heartfelt blessings to the newlyweds.
The emcee announced the banquet.
Zeng Jingrong sat with Tian Jing at the Li family's table and complained to Tian Jing, "Why didn't you notify me?"
Tian Jing pointed to the marriage certificates in his hand, "You personally sent the marriage certificates, so why would I notify you? Are you blaming me for not inviting you? Yan Yan's wedding is on March 27th, so you can't be biased."
"Alright, I'll remember that."
Zeng Jingrong handed the marriage certificates in his hand to Tian Jing, "You keep it for Haohao."
During the toasting session, Tian Jing and the others gave red envelopes for changing their address, ten thousand and one.
The toasting session was a table-hopping session. Zeng Jingrong wandered off somewhere and never returned to the Li family's table.
Tu Changhua and Shen Xiaohui came to toast again. Tian Jing still used a soft drink as a substitute.
Tu Changhua seemed to want to say something but stopped, and Tian Jing pretended not to see.
Shen Xiaohui stayed at Tian Jing's table. When the number of people coming to toast decreased, she raised her wine glass in front of her.
"Sister-in-law, we have offended you before. Please be lenient."
Tian Jing pressed her soft drink cup in front of her and said faintly, "Shen Xiaohui, speak clearly."
Shen Xiaohui lowered her voice and said, "There have been continuous incidents at the Tu family's 12 chain supermarkets. We can't figure out who has such great power."
Tian Jing raised an eyebrow, "So I've become the scapegoat? Everyone in the Tu family isn't worried, but you are?"
Shen Xiaohui lowered her head and said nothing.
Tian Jing waved her hand, "You can go."
Looking at Shen Xiaohui's retreating back, Tian Jing secretly shook her head. The Tu family really had high expectations, sending only Shen Xiaohui to ask her to let it go?
If the Tu family mother and daughter had only snatched her clothes, she wouldn't have been so insistent. But they snatched the one her mother-in-law had seen and was very satisfied with, which made her very uncomfortable.
That old Mrs. Tu was of the same generation as her, yet she spoke to her in a condescending tone like an elder.
Therefore, she was willing to let Mrs. Gong, who had brought the nanny, go, but she was unwilling to let Mrs. Tang, Tu Lihua, go.
Moreover, at Xiao Bo's wedding, the elders from several families came, but only someone of Shen Xiaohui's generation came to apologize...
They really treated her as an ignorant village woman.
...
After the wedding banquet ended, the Li family left the hotel with Li Wanting, who now belonged to the Li family. The best man 'kidnapped' the bridesmaid.
Upon arriving at the top floor of Jingyuan Company, the Li sisters were surprised that Jingyuan Company had made the entire top floor into living quarters.
Li Wanting looked at the empty space outside the door and asked Li Weihao why he hadn't made some indoor sports facilities.
Li Weihao shook his head and smiled, "Sister has no athletic talent."
Saying that, he grabbed her with one hand and pulled the red suitcase with the other into the bedroom, "Let's go see our new room."
Red was everywhere on the walls, doors, floors, and ceiling. Even the curtains were purplish-red with pink sheer curtains.
Li Wanting smiled and said, "It looks very festive, it must have been Auntie's idea."
"You're wrong," Li Min walked over, "It was your aunt's idea, including the curtains. I said it would be hot in the summer, and she said that even if you had vacation in the summer, you wouldn't come here, so it can be kept here forever."
Keep the new room forever?
Li Wanting's smile widened, "We should thank Auntie."
Li Min smiled, "She's taking her future eldest daughter-in-law to see what else needs to be prepared in the next room."
Ouyang Meihua saw that her eldest son had brought Li Wanzhen, so she took the opportunity to let the two of them look at the bedroom's furnishings.
Currently, only the curtains in this bedroom were red.
The bedroom had all the necessary furniture, and even the toiletries in the bathroom were red.
Li Wanzhen blushed and nodded, indicating that she was very satisfied.
Ouyang Meihua pulled her into the adjacent new room, "Your new room is also similar to this one. See if there's anything that needs to be improved?"
Li Wanzhen shook her head, "Aren't we going back to Kushan Village after the homecoming? This is already very good."
Ouyang Meihua was relieved, "Then I'll tidy up the small Western-style building in Kushan Village properly. That's where you'll live your whole life."
Li Wanzhen thanked her, "Thank you for your trouble."
"It's no trouble, no trouble."
Ouyang Meihua waved her hand with a smile, "I'm going to be a mother-in-law, I'm happy. Yan Yan is dragging his feet and only now thinking of getting married. You need to catch up."
Li Wanzhen was confused.
Li Weiyan patted his chest and promised, "Mom, don't worry. Didn't you say my aunt gave me three months of leave? I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
Ouyang Meihua nodded with satisfaction.
Li Wanzhen didn't understand what this mother and son were talking about.
Li Weiyan pulled her back to the next room, closed the door, and went to deepen their relationship.
Ouyang Meihua was even more satisfied. Once the boy figured things out, there was nothing to teach.
After dealing with her eldest son, she would focus on urging her youngest son.
In the living room next to the next room, Li Weiyu shivered. What was going on? Who was thinking of him?
