Liu Meilin held a handful of cigarettes in her hand and offered one to every man she saw.

Yang Lijun and Zhang Quhun, standing behind them, held candies in their hands, and the surrounding women and children shared in the sweet taste.

This delighted the onlookers; the cigarettes had filters, and the candy came in wrappers.

Who would normally get to eat such a delicious thing? I never expected to get something out of watching the spectacle for free.

When other people get married, they don't receive any wedding cigarettes or candy. From this point of view, the Chang family is truly extraordinary.

In an instant, congratulations poured in like a tidal wave.

When Chang Kun came out dressed in his new clothes, he was greeted with cheers.

"I've always thought this young man was quite good-looking when I saw him in the alley. Today, as the groom, he looks even more impressive dressed up!"

"With that line of jeeps and such a dashing groom, any girl who marries him can expect to be living the high life!"

"Tsk tsk, he looks so dignified in that Zhongshan suit. I want my son to wear one like that when he gets married."

"Your son? Forget it! He's only 1.65 meters tall, can he even pull this off..."

Stepping outside the courtyard, Chang Kun glanced at the crowd and nodded slightly. Since his rebirth, this day had finally arrived.

As he sat in the jeep, he took a deep breath. The temperature at the end of summer and beginning of autumn was just right, making him feel very comfortable.

My uncle, brother-in-law, and Ququ climbed into the jeep, looking around. They didn't usually ride in cars, so it felt quite novel.

The convoy turned into the alley where the Cheng family lived, where elderly people and children had already gathered in small groups to watch the excitement.

"The groom is here!"

"Here comes the bride!"

"The Cheng family's daughter is truly blessed; this entourage is quite grand!"

The gate to the Cheng family's courtyard was ajar, with a large red "double happiness" character cut from red paper pasted on the lintel.

Chang Kun walked steadily uphill and gently knocked on the door: "Cheng Min, I've come to pick you up!"

A burst of laughter came from inside, belonging to the young women and their wives.

"Groom, don't rush things. You'll have to pass some tests before you can take Xiaomin away!"

Chang Kun shook his head slightly, not expecting that a performance would be required for the wedding procession at this time.

But this didn't stump him; he simply used earth to dam the water.

"What kind of test? Tell me quickly, don't keep Xiaomin waiting."

"Hehe, Xiaomin won't be in a hurry!"

"I think you're the one who's in a hurry, groom!"

Loud laughter and chatter came from behind the door; most of them were Cheng Min's colleagues from the school.

"Groom, sing a revolutionary song first. If it doesn't sound good, you won't pass."

Chang Kun wasn't intimidated. There weren't many songs available these days, but almost everyone could hum revolutionary songs.

He cleared his throat and began to sing.

"The East is Red, the sun rises, China has produced..."

Her voice wasn't loud, but she sang very earnestly, and everyone in the courtyard clapped along to the beat.

People these days truly have faith. They have all experienced the ravages of war and cherish this peaceful life. They will not allow anyone to say a bad word about a great man.

Even more than a decade later, when the great man passed away, ordinary people felt as if the sky had fallen.

Children in later generations will not be able to understand such feelings, let alone empathize with them.

This simple emotion is not something I made up; it's something I actually heard my mother say. When she talks about it, her eyes still well up with tears.

As they sang, everyone inside and outside the courtyard clapped and joined in, each line brimming with sincerity.

After the song ended, the young women and women in the courtyard clapped enthusiastically.

"Good, you sang well! You pass!"

They had even prepared riddles to test Chang Kun, who was fortunate enough to marry the most beautiful girl in the school. Cheng Min's colleagues also wanted to give the groom a good evaluation.

Now, a revolutionary song has moved everyone inside and outside the courtyard. At this moment, let's go easy on the groom and let him off the hook.

Tonight, during the wedding night festivities, we'll throw a few more tricky questions at the newlyweds to embarrass them.

Finally, they were able to go inside. At this moment, Chang Kun felt a little excited.

Normally, there was nothing unusual when I met Cheng Min, but this time, when I was going to pick her up for the wedding, it felt exceptionally different.

Cheng Min was hiding in her small room, sitting on the edge of the bed, wearing a red dress.

Her hair was neatly combed, with a small red flower pinned to the end. Her face was flushed, and her eyes were too shy to look at anyone, staring straight at the ground.

Today is her wedding day. Since her mother is not here, her aunt will take on the role of her mother.

Aunt Cheng Min held Cheng Min's little hand, her eyes slightly red, and stared intently at Chang Kun.

"Chang Kun, I'm entrusting my Xiaomin to you. You must treat her well and not let her suffer any injustice."

The entire Cheng family praised the groom, but Aunt Cheng Min couldn't help but offer some words of advice.

This Cheng Min, she watched her grow up for half her life, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she was like a daughter to her.

Now that she is about to get married, she can't help but feel a pang of sadness.

Chang Kun nodded emphatically: "Auntie, don't worry, I will definitely treat Cheng Min well and be good to her for the rest of my life!"

These words were spoken with absolute certainty, and Aunt Cheng Min sniffed, "That's good! You're a good young man, Auntie believes you!"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Min raised her head slightly, met Chang Kun's gaze, and then lowered her head shyly.

Brother-in-law Yang Lijun stood in the yard urging, "It's getting late, we have to go!"

It is believed that the bride should arrive at the groom's house before 10 a.m., as this will bring good fortune to the couple.

Even though the jeep was traveling at a relatively high speed, they dared not linger too long at this point.

Aunt Cheng Min took Cheng Min's little hand and gently placed it in Chang Kun's hand.

"Xiaomin, go... live a good life!"

Chang Kun's palms were hot, so hot that Cheng Min's heart trembled. Forgetting her shyness, she turned to look at her aunt, her eyes gradually reddening.

Now that she's really getting married, she'll be someone else's wife. If she wants to go home, she can only come back with Chang Kun.

Unless, after arguing with him, she ran back to her parents' home?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but chuckle.

It's really strange of me to be thinking about arguing and going back to my parents' home on my wedding day.

When Cheng Min's aunt saw that Cheng Min's eyes were red, she was a little touched, knowing that the little girl was reluctant to leave home.

Unexpectedly, the next second, Cheng Min burst into laughter.

"Alright! I know you're happy to marry Chang Kun; you're already smiling like this before you've even left home... Well, let's hurry up and go, don't be late!"

Cheng Min lowered her head in embarrassment. Now that she was really leaving home, she couldn't help but step forward and hug her aunt tightly, holding back her tears.

Holding Cheng Min's small hand, Chang Kun slowly led her out of the courtyard gate.

The crowd of onlookers blocked the road, and when the bride and groom came out, they cheered.

"What a perfect couple! A handsome man and a beautiful woman!"

"Xiaomin was pretty even as a child, and she's even more stunning now that she's grown up!"

Yang Lijun and Zhang Quhun stepped forward, handing out wedding cigarettes and candies.

The cheers grew even louder.
