Courtyard House: In this life, I have a new home!

1

As soon as I stepped into the courtyard gate, a familiar mechanical voice suddenly exploded in my mind.

[Ding! A skill has randomly dropped from the God-level Comprehension System.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have acquired the skill of being able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk!]

Lu Zhenxing was stunned for a moment.

Able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk?

What's the use of this thing?

He thought about it for a moment, but couldn't figure it out, so he simply gave up on it.

The wedding is in three days.

He's the only one left in the Lu family, so he has to keep an eye on everything himself.

He had to check everything needed for the wedding; there couldn't be the slightest mistake.

Lu Zhenxing turned and went into the house.

Looking up, I saw that all the red lanterns were hung under the eaves of my house, and the inside and outside were swept clean.

All the furniture is brand new and complete.

Everywhere is brimming with vibrant energy.

Lu Zhenxing grinned, feeling secretly pleased.

The wedding is in three days, and he has been looking forward to that day for a long time.

Especially those things that happen at night.

Time flew by and the wedding day arrived.

"Crackling and popping!"

The firecrackers exploded with a deafening roar.

The air was filled with a pungent, irritating smell.

A group of kids squatted on the ground, picking up the firecrackers that hadn't exploded.

They put them into their pockets one by one.

He came running over again, reaching out to Lu Zhenxing for wedding candy.

"Uncle, here's some candy!"

Several children were practically drooling, staring at him longingly.

Lu Zhenxing grabbed a handful of candy from his pocket and stuffed it all into their hands.

"Wow! There's candy!"

The children ran off laughing and joking.

The courtyard was packed with people, all with smiles on their faces.

They all came to congratulate Lu Zhenxing and were happy for him.

It was incredibly lively.

However, these people are not residents of the courtyard house.

They were all brothers from the steel rolling mill, and they had a very close relationship with Lu Zhenxing.

The factory leaders also came with their families, all with smiles on their faces.

Even Director Yang personally came to the scene to give Lu Zhenxing face.

Those cadres came because of Lu Zhenxing's abilities.

I know perfectly well that this kid will definitely amount to something in the future.

Establish a good relationship early on; it'll make things easier to talk to each other later.

As for Director Yang, he rarely attends his subordinates' weddings.

Managing over 8,000 people, if every worker invited him to their wedding, he would never be able to keep up.

But Lu Zhenxing is different.

He was really craving the dishes Lu Zhenxing made.

The less Lu Zhenxing gave him special treatment, the more he missed it.

I even dream about that taste.

That's why I shamelessly came to eat at the banquet.

She was thinking that if she could appease Lu Zhenxing, she could get some good food in the future.

To be honest, Lu Zhenxing didn't send him an invitation at all.

He came to our door on his own initiative.

Nobody in the whole yard wanted to see him.

But outsiders don't know the inside story.

I noticed that even Director Yang, who is always so busy, had come.

Lu Zhenxing is such a big shot!

Upon further reflection, Lu Zhenxing must be a favorite of Director Yang.

Her gaze towards him grew even warmer.

Those who came to the wedding banquet were all colleagues and leaders from the steel rolling mill.

There wasn't a single person in the courtyard house.

The residents in the courtyard all stared at the lively scene with dark expressions.

Lu Zhenxing's side was bustling like it was Chinese New Year, but the faces of these people were all gloomy.

They had absolutely no intention of attending Lu Zhenxing's wedding.

Is it to get a free wedding banquet?

Think more.

They've been dreaming of coming here; they're incredibly hungry for it.

Why are they all standing there with dark faces, looking like bedbugs hiding in the corner?

Because Lu Zhenxing didn't invite them at all!

The residents of Hongxing Compound felt like they were being scratched by a cat just thinking about it.

I was both angry and ashamed.

Lu Zhenxing's actions were clearly a slap in the face to them!

That's really ruthless.

I hate people so much!

Ugh! It's infuriating!

A group of people just watched helplessly.

At Lu Zhenxing's wedding banquet, the table was piled high with dishes, all of them glistening with oil and goodness.

Their mouths watered at the sight.

Lu Zhenxing is really willing to invest heavily.

The table was full of dishes, and eight out of ten of them were meat!

These days, who can be so generous when celebrating a wedding?

Anyone who sees this should give it a thumbs up and say—

Lu Zhenxing is really generous!

It was a great honor, giving Ding Qiunan plenty of face.

This wedding allowed Lu Zhenxing to steal the spotlight in front of everyone.

The more Lu Zhenxing stood out, the more unhappy the people in the Red Star Compound became.

Why should he get all the limelight?

On what grounds?

So unfair!

I hate it!

Lu Zhenxing had no time to ponder their ulterior motives.

He was beaming with joy, busy drinking heartily with the people who came to congratulate him.

"That's a huge amount!"

Everyone kept praising it.

Lu Zhenxing greeted the guests with a smile.

Just as things were getting lively, someone suddenly shouted at the top of their lungs—

"The bride has arrived!"

Everyone turned their heads in unison.

Lu Zhenxing's eyes lit up, and he immediately put down his wine glass and strode towards the gate of the compound.

A slender woman was slowly walking towards them.

The bright red wedding dress she wore was exquisitely crafted, both delicate and elegant.

Just looking at that figure, everyone couldn't help but speculate—how beautiful must that face be?

So they all stared wide-eyed at Ding Qiunan's face.

Unfortunately, Ding Qiunan's head was covered with a red veil, so nothing could be seen.

Everyone could only sigh in regret.

But then I thought about it again and became happy.

Although you can't see it now, once the wedding ceremony is over and the red veil is lifted—

Just how beautiful is Ding Qiunan's face? You can see it all now.

Although they knew Ding Qiunan before and had seen what she looked like.

But today is her big day.

Ding Qiunan's wedding dress was bright and exquisite, and it was easy to guess that her makeup must have been exceptionally beautiful as well.

She was already beautiful, and with an extra touch of exquisite makeup, she would definitely look even more stunning. Everyone was eager to see what she looked like under her veil.

"Revitalize..."

With her head covered by a red cloth, Ding Qiunan couldn't see anything. With so many people staring at her, she really didn't want to make a fool of herself; she felt both flustered and afraid.

Lu Zhenxing didn't say anything, but simply held her hand tightly to support her: "Just follow me in a bit, I'll hold your hand, don't be afraid."

After saying that, he suddenly leaned close to Ding Qiunan's ear, gently blew on it, and said with a smile, "Qiunan, you look really beautiful today."

Upon hearing this, Ding Qiunan couldn't help but smile, her heart pounding with sweet joy. What woman doesn't like her man praising her at a time like this? Especially on such an important day as their wedding.

She was secretly pleased, but said aloud, "Zhenxing, you're so annoying~"

Hearing this, Lu Zhenxing's lips curled into a wide smile, his heart filled with sweetness. He smiled and led her toward the Lu family home.

On the table in the Lu family home are two memorial tablets, belonging to Lu Zhenxing's parents. They had both passed away long ago, so only their memorial tablets could be worshipped at the wedding.

"Bowing to Heaven and Earth—"

"Bowing to the parents twice—"

"Husband and wife bow to each other—"

"The ceremony is complete!"

With the shouts subsiding, Lu Zhenxing and Ding Qiunan's wedding was officially concluded. Registering their marriage is a legal matter, while the wedding ceremony is the formal recognition in everyone's eyes; both are necessary, and neither can be omitted.

Now, it's Ding Qiunan's turn to lift the veil.

All eyes immediately turned to Ding Qiunan, staring intently at her face, eager to see just how beautiful she was hidden under the veil.

Lu Zhenxing was the one to lift Ding Qiunan's red veil. Lu Zhenxing smiled, reached out and lifted the veil, revealing Ding Qiunan's exquisitely painted face.

Upon seeing her appearance, everyone in the room gasped in shock.

What a face it was—curved eyebrows, big, watery eyes, a high, straight nose, and red lips. Ding Qiunan was already quite beautiful, but with this outfit, she looked like she had a filter on; standing there, she was no less stunning than a modern-day superstar.

It's so beautiful it's breathtaking.

"Hmph!"

Everyone couldn't help but gasp in surprise, then shook their heads and sighed.

Sigh! Such a beautiful girl, how did she end up with that Lu Zhenxing kid?

Everyone was incredibly envious, their eyes practically red with jealousy.

Why doesn't God arrange a beautiful and capable wife for them too?

After thinking it over, I'm afraid they're not as capable as Lu Zhenxing.

He doesn't deserve such a good girl.

The group could only sigh and shake their heads.

Ultimately, if you can't compare to others, you can only accept your fate.

Ugh!

Ding Qiunan felt a little uneasy being stared at by so many piercing eyes.

She nervously tugged at Lu Zhenxing's sleeve and asked in a low voice.

"Zhenxing, do I look particularly ugly now?"

Otherwise, why would everyone be looking at her like that?

Thinking about it this way, Ding Qiunan felt even more uncertain. She lowered her head, and her eyes reddened.

Lu Zhenxing reached out and lifted her chin, speaking gently.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Who dares to say you're ugly? You look absolutely stunning today."

"So beautiful that everyone can't take their eyes off you, they just keep staring at you."

"You're like the moon in the sky right now, shining brightly, incredibly beautiful!"

After saying that, he casually pinched Ding Qiunan's cheek lightly.

It's smooth and tender, like tofu.

Ding Qiunan's face turned bright red instantly.

Hearing Lu Zhenxing's words, all her unease disappeared.

She looked at Lu Zhenxing with bright, sparkling eyes.

"Zhenxing, you're so kind."

"Being able to marry you is the greatest blessing of my life."

"Zhenxing, I love you."

Lu Zhenxing grinned.

"Qiu Nan, I love you too."

After the wedding ceremony, Lu Zhenxing escorted Ding Qiunan into the new house.

He also had to go out and deal with the guests who came to the wedding.

At this moment, Sha Zhu and Xu Damao were furious.

My teeth were grinding so hard they were cracking, and it was so sore.

They had already felt a pang of jealousy when they heard that Lu Zhenxing was going to get married to Ding Qiunan.

Now that they've arrived at the wedding venue, they've prepared themselves for the worst.

Thinking that I had important business to attend to later, I didn't have time to argue about this.

But as soon as Ding Qiunan's red veil was lifted...

The fleeting moment that unreal, beautiful face was revealed.

Their eyes were wide open, like copper bells.

I couldn't suppress the sour feeling in my heart.

Even though I was mentally prepared, I was still incredibly jealous!

How could they not be envious of Lu Zhenxing for marrying such a beautiful and capable wife?

It's so sour it's unbearable!

Sha Zhu's eyes were as red as a rabbit's, and he gritted his teeth and cursed viciously.
