I painted an aircraft carrier on the courtyard house for Dongda University.

Upon hearing this, Elder Long was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter. After a long pause, he nodded and said, "Alright, you're quite arrogant, kid. We'll do it your way, but I need to go back and study how to proceed."

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and a person came in and whispered a few words in Elder Long's ear.

Old Long's expression changed, and he looked at Zhou Weiguo, saying, "Alright, Weiguo, that's all for today. Haizi had an emergency, and I need to get back immediately. Congratulations on your marriage, lad. Old Qin, I'm leaving things here to you. I'll be going now."

After a long while, Zhou Weiguo watched as Elder Long's car gradually drove away before he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But when he walked back to the east courtyard, he found everyone sitting at the table, their faces filled with shock, their posture perfectly upright, not moving an inch, just like students seeing their homeroom teacher standing on the podium.

Old Qin then clapped his hands with a smile and said, "Alright, alright, today is a joyous day for this young man named Weiguo, everyone please make yourselves at home."

Meanwhile, Li Huaide was still standing to the side, completely bewildered.

Zhou Weiguo hurriedly called out, "Brother Li, what are you doing? Are you imitating a lackey?"

Li Huaide shuddered before he realized what was happening, staring at Zhou Weiguo as if he were looking at a god.

Li Huaide still felt like he was in a dream. If he hadn't pinched his thigh five or six times and felt the real stinging pain, he would have almost thought that everything in front of him was an absurd dream.

After the convoy of leaders had driven away, Li Huaide stared intently at Zhou Weiguo. He had once only wanted to befriend Zhou Weiguo; now, that thought had completely changed.

The first thought that flashed through his mind was how many more years it would take for his daughter to reach adulthood.

Upon reflection, I was shocked to realize that my daughter was still at the age where she was completely naive and inexperienced.

Immediately afterward, a bold idea popped into his mind: to emulate the famous general Lü Bu?

Meanwhile, everyone's attention at the wedding was focused on Zhou Weiguo.

Whether it was his colleagues from the steel rolling mill, Minister Song from the Second Ministry of Metallurgical Industry who came to congratulate him, or the secretaries sent by several other ministers, everyone's face was filled with shock, while Zhou Weiguo, who was being watched by everyone, looked completely innocent.

Meanwhile, the inner courtyard of the traditional courtyard house, separated by only a wall, should have been bustling with activity at this time.

He Yuzhu knew that the people attending his uncle's wedding were all important figures, so he arranged for the neighbors and his colleagues from the steel mill's kitchen to be received in the middle courtyard.

He thought that as long as he didn't open the gate to the courtyard, nothing would go wrong.

But when a group of people with cold expressions and not saying a word suddenly barged in, he panicked instantly.

What puzzled him even more was that after entering the courtyard, these people simply stood neatly around the perimeter of the courtyard with their hands behind their backs, especially at the gate of the outer courtyard, where there were as many as eight people standing.

Judging from the scene, he knew that the person coming from that side must be an extraordinary figure.

These people stood there silently, and He Yuzhu didn't know what to do.

Left with no other choice, he could only exchange a few words with Yu Li before having Dasheng announce the start of the banquet.

Strangely, even when the Jia family was known for being extremely frugal, everyone would usually feast heartily at their banquets, but today was completely different.

The people standing around made the guests in the courtyard too afraid to even pick up their chopsticks.

It's no wonder; anyone would be quite frightened if they were suddenly surrounded by a group of people with bulging waists while attending a wedding banquet.

Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui were even more terrified. When these people rushed in, they thought they were there to arrest them.

The other residents all knew that Zhou Weiguo and He Yuzhu were having a wedding banquet together today, and they all secretly glanced at the east courtyard. They all understood that there must be an extraordinary person in the east courtyard, otherwise there wouldn't be such a scene.

A strange whistle broke the deadlock, and the guards quickly withdrew from the courtyard.

Only then did the people in the courtyard breathe a sigh of relief.

Liu Haizhong was the first to get restless. He ran over to He Yuzhu, who was sitting helplessly at the table, and stammered, "Um, Yuzhu, who were those people just now? Does Brother Weiguo have any important guests over there today?"

He Yuzhu also looked bewildered and said, "Second Uncle, I don't know either! My uncle's and my wedding banquets were held separately, so I really don't know who came from the other side."

Liu Haizhong's eyes darted around, and he pulled out a wad of cash from his pocket, tentatively saying, "Zhuzi, I feel that as your older brother, I should at least go and offer a toast at Brother Weiguo's wedding banquet. Could you please pass on the message?"

Seeing this, Yan Fugui stepped forward and said, "Yes, Zhuzi, why don't you go and put in a good word for me?"

At this moment, Xu Damao, who had just returned from outside the courtyard, sat down next to He Yuzhu with a shocked expression, staring intently at him.

After a long pause, he picked up the half-empty bottle of Fenjiu liquor on the table and said with a complicated expression, "Brother Zhu, from today onwards, Da Mao is your own brother! I used to be a bit unreliable, but don't worry, from now on, if you ever need anything, just give me a call, and I'll go through fire and water for you!"

He Yuzhu was stunned. He reached out and touched Xu Damao's forehead, cursing, "Xu Damao, are you running a fever? Go get treated if you're sick, don't try to fool me!"

Xu Damao said with a forced smile, "Brother Zhu, we've been childhood friends, there's no need to say that, is there? I've already backed down, so why don't you just back down gracefully? Just give our uncle some face, okay?"

Seeing Xu Damao's expression, He Yuzhu felt a little smug, so he arrogantly picked up his cup and clinked it with Xu Damao's.

To everyone's surprise, Xu Damao picked up the Fenjiu liquor and downed half a bottle in one go.

Yan Fugui stared at Xu Damao with a strange expression on his face.

Let's get back to the East Wing.

With the arrival of Elder Long, Zhou Weiguo and He Yuzhu's wedding was less lively and more tense.

All the planned activities were cancelled, and everything was kept simple.

After the meal was almost over, the guests, each with their own thoughts, dispersed.

After seeing the guests off, Zhou Weiguo took Tian Zao back to their room.

He said apologetically, "Tian Zao, I'm sorry, today's wedding started strong but ended weakly. I didn't expect Elder Long and the others to come."

Tian Zao finally came to her senses, touching Zhou Weiguo's face in shock, and said, "Honey, I feel like I'm dreaming! You slapped me, and I really saw Old Master Long just now? He even congratulated us on our marriage? This is too unreal, too unbelievable!"

Zhou Weiguo smiled and patted Tian Zao's head, saying, "You're not dreaming, this is all real. If this little thing shocks you like this, what will you do in the future? There will be many more things that will surprise you in the future."

Tian Zao continued to mutter to herself, "No, this is too unreal, it all feels like a dream. Maybe I'm still online, and this is all a dream, but this dream is going on for way too long."
