......

After visiting several wedding planning companies, Xu Nian sat in the car, flipping through the densely filled notes in her notebook, which recorded the characteristics and expertise of each company.

As he looked at it, he couldn't help but frown and fall into deep thought once again.

Although every wedding planning company has been established in the industry for a long time and has countless successful and even sensational cases, he still felt a kind of inexplicable concern.

I have a vague feeling that it's not quite right to entrust such an important life event to outsiders for planning.

This also made it difficult for him to make a decision, as he was unsure which wedding planning company to choose for himself and Xu Xi to plan their wedding.

After hesitating for a long time, Xu Nian decided to seek advice from the older generation and ask for their opinions.

With that in mind, he drove straight to the Haifeng Sanatorium and arrived at the small house where Zhang Feng was staying.

At this moment, Zhang Feng is playing chess with two elderly people, Grandpa Deng and Grandpa Liu.

Upon seeing Xu Nian enter the room, all three put down their chess pieces and looked up in his direction.

"Hey, little Xu, what brings you here?" Grandpa Deng stroked his beard and said with a smile.

"Dad, Grandpa Deng, Grandpa Liu." Xu Nian greeted them with a smile, sat down next to them, and handed the gifts she had bought on the way to the three of them.

"Since you're already here, why be so polite?" Zhang Feng casually placed the expensive gifts aside, smiled helplessly, and said, "It's been a while since I've seen you and your daughter. How have you two been lately?"

"We're doing fine, but something big happened recently that I haven't had a chance to tell you all—Xiaoxi...is pregnant."

"Hmm, is little Xu pregnant?"

Upon hearing this, all three showed expressions of surprise.

"Well done, you two are quick on your feet." Grandpa Deng raised an eyebrow and smiled, patting Xu Nian on the shoulder.

Zhang Feng's face was also filled with satisfaction: "You two are getting on in years, it's time to think about the next generation. This kid is good, he came at just the right time."

After saying that, he turned to look at Grandpa Deng and Grandpa Liu, his face beaming with joy, and said, "Old leaders, now I'm going to be a grandfather too, hahaha!"

"You got a son and a daughter for free, look how happy you are." Grandpa Liu rolled his eyes at him, laughed and scolded, then looked at Xu Nian seriously.

"Xiao Xu, if I remember correctly, you and Ya Tou aren't married yet, are you?"

"Yes, not yet." Xu Nian lowered her head with some guilt.

Upon hearing this, Grandpa Liu immediately picked up his cane and struck Xu Nian's leg, his face contorted with rage as he glared and puffed out his beard: "You brat! Getting someone's daughter pregnant before marriage! Do you know that in the old days, you'd be dragged out and shot!"

"Hey, Lao Liu, look at you, you're in a hurry again."

Grandpa Deng quickly calmed down the fuming Grandpa Liu and smoothed things over with a smile: "Times have changed, haven't they? Society is changing every day. You can't use the sword of the previous dynasty to judge the cases of the current dynasty."

"That makes the same sense." Grandpa Liu was still angry. "Only by getting married can you be responsible and make a commitment to your daughter. Society has progressed now, and it doesn't matter what kind of person you are when you're dating, but if you want to have children, you have to get married."

"That's why I'm here today," Xu Nian said awkwardly, scratching her head. "I want to have a wedding with Xiaoxi, but... I've never been married before, and I don't know where to start or what I should pay attention to. That's why I came to ask Dad and your parents for advice."

"So that's how it is."

Upon hearing this, the three of them suddenly realized what was going on, and Grandpa Liu's tightly furrowed brows relaxed a little.

Xu Nian breathed a sigh of relief and handed over her notebook: "I visited several wedding planning companies this afternoon, but I haven't decided which one to choose yet. Dad, could you and the other parents give me some advice? Which wedding planning company is more reliable?"

Zhang Feng took the notebook, glanced at its contents, and immediately chuckled: "You kid, you remember everything pretty well, you even wrote down how many people are in their company."

"Yes, I want to remember everything. It's always good to have more information." Xu Nian smiled sheepishly.

After carefully reading through Xu Nian's notes, Zhang Feng and his parents closed the notebook and said earnestly, "Xiao Xu, actually, every place has different customs when it comes to marriage. In Yuncheng, the parents are the ones who arrange the wedding for their children."

"Parents took care of it?" Xu Nian was completely confused.

"Of course, it's not the kind of arranged marriage," Zhang Feng explained. "It's like making a movie, where the parents fund it, act as directors, finalize the set and script, and then oversee the filming."

"This can be seen as a form of recognition of their children's partners and a blessing for their marriage. In addition, parents are experienced people who have been through it all, and they are more knowledgeable about marriage than their children."

"Once your children get married and have wedding experience, you will be more adept at organizing wedding banquets for your own children."

"It's a local custom for one generation to be responsible for the wedding of the next."

"I see..." Xu Nian scratched her head.

Unlike most newlyweds, he and Xu Xi were both orphans without parents, so they knew very little about these customs and knowledge that should have been passed down and taught by their parents.

Zhang Feng rubbed his hands together and said with a smile, "Look, you and Xu Xi are both calling me 'Dad,' so shouldn't I be in charge of organizing your wedding?"

"Xiao Zhang is right." Grandpa Deng stroked his graying beard and said earnestly, "In our area, the wedding arrangements for newlyweds are all handled by the elders. My parents were the ones who arranged my wedding with your Grandma Deng."

"It's a pity my son passed away early and couldn't pass on this custom."

"Xiao Xu, could you ask Grandpa Deng to help with your wedding?"

Hearing this, Grandpa Liu, who was standing nearby, looked at Xu Nian expectantly and stammered, "Little Xu, you won't leave out your Grandpa Liu, right?"

Xu Nian looked at the three elders in front of her, her eyes slightly reddening.

He came into this world all alone and experienced all the hardships and suffering of life.

But he didn't think of himself as an unlucky person; on the contrary, he was very lucky.

Today, he has a lover with whom he can entrust his life, an unborn child, like-minded friends, and a family who care about him.

This is what it means to have a life without regrets.
