The little dumpling is five and a half years old, which made his father so angry that his head split

When they arrived, the Zheng family was waiting at the door.

A large, well-organized family.

Both sets of parents said a few words.

All I want is for the young couple to have a good life together.

Before the dishes were served, Zhou Limin brought up the matter of the bride price in front of everyone.

In a limbo, neither here nor there, it's respectable yet conforms to the mainstream.

The Li family had no objections; the other party had given them ample face, and they wouldn't hold a grudge.

"We'll just convert everything into cash. Siwen can buy whatever she likes."

"If you have any other requests, please feel free to make them."

Li Siwen smiled and shook her head.

Knowing that her daughter was a little embarrassed, Ye Zhao continued the conversation.

"Our two families have known each other for many years and know each other well. We will not mistreat the children. In addition to the house, we will also give cash as a dowry."

"Once they go south, they can buy whatever they need themselves."

Zhou Limin smiled and tugged at Ye Zhao's arm.

"Sister Ye, do you support Siwen going with them?"

Ye Zhao smiled.

"Should we separate two newlyweds? Husbands and wives should naturally share joys and sorrows and advance and retreat together."

Zheng Yu quietly took Li Siwen's hand.

He didn't dare ask in front of Li Tian during dinner that day.

No matter how good the Jiangnan region is, it's definitely not as good as the conditions in the capital.

She didn't want Li Siwen to suffer with her, but she was also very reluctant to part with her.

It would be even better if Li Siwen herself was willing to go with them.

"Uncle Li, Aunt Ye, I will definitely take good care of Siwen."

Zheng Ying glanced at her younger brother with a smile.

"You're still calling him 'uncle' and 'auntie'? Hurry up and pour tea for your father-in-law and mother-in-law to thank them."

Since her sister offered a way out, Zheng Yu naturally had to comply.

He carried the teapot and poured tea for Li Shengli and Ye Zhao, and also changed his address to them.

Then he started with his parents and added some for everyone present.

"Thank you, Uncle."

"Thank you, Uncle."

Hearing the two children change their address, Zheng Yu couldn't stop smiling.

The newlyweds can just be happy, but the parents still have to busy themselves with the arrangements.

Zheng Yu's father said, "Brother Li, Sister Ye, after looking around, we think June 28th is the only auspicious day. Any later and it will be August. We can wait, but we can't wait for our work."

"It was a bit rushed, and it's a little unfair to Siwen. What do you think?"

Due to time constraints, the groom's family will be busier and more tired than the bride's family.

Since we can't wait until August, let's do it sooner rather than later.

Li Shengli nodded.

"Work is important, so let's make it June 28th. There are still about 20 days left. Thank you for your hard work."

I knew the Li family wouldn't make things difficult for me, but I was still happy to hear their straightforward words.

"It is our responsibility as parents to take care of our children's major life events. We don't complain about the hardship, we are only happy."

Zhou Limin also said with a smile.

"The new house is all furnished; it's in Zheng Yu's room."

"The walls have been repainted, and the bedding and daily necessities have all been replaced with brand new ones."

Both Li Shengli and Ye Zhao were quite satisfied.

The importance the groom's family attaches to the wedding is also the importance they attach to the new bride.

This emphasis is reflected in actions, not just words.

After finishing our business, we asked the waiter to serve the food.

The atmosphere was joyous, with toasts and drinks flowing freely.

The four old men each told their own stories.

They discussed politics while also debating the details of the wedding.

Li Yuanchao and Zheng Yu's brother were quite familiar with each other, and the two of them were chatting enthusiastically about something.

Chang Yuan skillfully navigated between Zheng Yu's sister-in-law and Zheng Ying, handling the situation with ease.

Li Siwen was whispering to Zheng Yu, seemingly oblivious to everyone else.

With nothing else to do, Li Tian and Li Muchen buried themselves in their rice.

I tasted every dish on the table.

Needless to say, some dishes can only be made to taste like that by a master chef.

More than an hour later, after enjoying the food and drinks and having discussed everything, the two families dispersed.

"Siwen, I don't know when the training camp will start, I'm afraid I won't be able to send you off to your wedding."

Li Siwen was very understanding and proud that her brother was able to participate in the military parade.

"It's alright if you don't come, but you can't skimp on the dowry."

"How could you be left out? Your sister-in-law will give it to you later."

Li Siwen smiled and looked at Chang Yuan.

"Sister-in-law, that's how soldiers are. My dad used to be just as rarely home. It's tough on you."

Chang Yuan turned around with a smile.

"It's not hard work. My dad is just as busy, he's used to it. Whether your brother is here or not, we'll still do things the way we always have. We'll make sure you have a grand wedding."

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Li Siwen looked at the two children who were silent.

"You two will be my flower girls."

"Auntie, are you serious? We're not little kids anymore. Standing there, we'd be more like best man and maid of honor."

That seems to make sense.

But it's definitely inappropriate to have two young children as best man and maid of honor.

"By the way, Auntie, who would you like to ask to be your bridesmaid?"

Li Siwen lowered her head and began to think.

Three years have passed; her friends and classmates are probably all married by now.

Who else could I ask to be my bridesmaid?

It's a bit worrying.

Moreover, with such a tight schedule, the options available are even fewer.

"Let me recommend one to you, my piano teacher Xie Ting."

Li Siwen and Xie Ting know each other, but they are not very familiar with each other.

But it would be good if it could solve the problem of finding a candidate.

"She should have graduated by now, right?"

"She has graduated from university and is currently pursuing a master's degree. Professor Xie has a strong desire to study abroad, but she is waiting for an opportunity. Because of this, she has not been in a relationship."

After graduating, Li Yuanxiang was assigned to a large construction company in Beijing.

He tried hard to win Xie Ting's heart, but failed.

His current partner was introduced to him by a colleague.

They reportedly get along quite well and are getting married soon.

"Is she still teaching you?"

"Hey, during summer vacation, I come twice a week. I'm supposed to start class tomorrow. You can ask them if they'd like to come."

"it is good."

Li Siwen is confident.

Unless it's a matter of scheduling conflicts, they generally won't refuse.

With Xie Ting by her side, Li Siwen felt much more at ease.

Even if we can't find anyone else, at least we have someone to back us up.

Tomorrow she'll call or visit some of her old friends to see if any of them are still unmarried.

Chang Yuan turned around and said, "Siwen, if you don't have a suitable candidate, you can ask my cousin to come and help."

Upon hearing this, Li Siwen was even happier.

"Thank you, sister-in-law. I'll ask around first. If I can't find it, I'll have to trouble your sister."

"It's no trouble at all. You help me, I help you, and we can work together to get things done perfectly."

Li Tian saw Li Yuanchao smile as he looked at Chang Yuan.

Chang Yuan returned a faint smile.

There may not be love between them, but they definitely like and appreciate each other.

This is what happiness looks like for ordinary people.

After the car drove into the courtyard, Li Yuanchao and his wife did not go inside.

He said goodbye to everyone and then left.

With the date set, both sides got busy.

Ye Zhao instructed Li Shengli to compile the guest list and write or call the guests.
