1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 328 The ceremony is completed
A woman who got along well with An's mother couldn't stand it anymore: "If your sister-in-law heard what you said, she'd probably kick you out. It's their big day, you'd better watch your mouth."

After these words were spoken, no one paid any more attention to Aunt Fan Yunxiang.

The An family was incredibly lazy. Not only were the husband and wife lazy, but their three sons were also incredibly lazy. The eldest son was already quite old and still couldn't find a wife. In the end, he married a widow, and that's when he finally settled down.

Over the years, he has borrowed a lot of things from the eldest son, An Jixiang. If it weren't for An's mother, Feng Rongshuang, being so capable, she probably would have already ruined the eldest son's family.

Except for the dressing table, which was being carried, all the other dowry items were loaded onto jeeps, making it a sight to behold.

At this moment, the person in charge called out, "The newcomers are leaving now."

The eldest brother of the An family carried An Xiaojing, who was dressed in red, out of the house, with the second brother and the youngest brother of the An family protecting her on both sides, and took her directly to the jeep.

As soon as everyone got on the bus, firecrackers went off not far away.

Qiu Shaocheng bid farewell to his in-laws and got into the car with a spirited expression. The wedding procession headed towards the Qiu family home.

The two houses were not far apart, and as soon as the firecrackers went off on one side, the other side began to make preparations.

A table was set up in the courtyard, and a portrait of a high-ranking leader was displayed. Peanuts and candy were laid out on the table, and they were just waiting for the new bride to enter the house.

Chu Xue and her family had been staying inside with Xia Qiu, but when they heard things getting busy in the yard, Chun Xiao couldn't stay still any longer: "Big sister, I want to go to the yard to see."

Fearing that she might bump into someone again due to her recklessness, Liu's mother said, "You can be seen from inside the house, so don't run around."

Xia Qiu laughed and said, "Go if you want, but be careful and don't get jostled."

Upon hearing this, Chunxiao smiled and said, "I know."

Liu's mother was a little worried: "Chuxue, your father and I will stay here with your sister. Go out and take a look, and keep an eye on Chunxiao."

Chu Xue also wanted to see a wedding in this era, so she nodded and said, "Okay." Xia Qiu also wanted to go out, but Liu's mother disagreed: "You haven't mastered the art of pregnancy yet, so it's better to stay in the room."

Soon, the wedding party returned.

Before the new bride entered the courtyard, her dowry was brought in first.

When Liu's parents saw the dowry through the window, they felt terrible, and an unnatural expression crossed their faces.

Filled with self-reproach, Liu's father said, "Xiaqiu, I will make it up to you in the future."

Xia Qiu understood their feelings perfectly: "Dad, every family is different. Shao Cheng's father-in-law and his two brothers-in-law all have jobs on the farm, and Xiao Jing is their only daughter among their three sons. When we were discussing marriage, the An family said that they would not keep the betrothal gifts offered by the Qiu family."

Then he lowered his voice and said, "Shao Cheng's mother-in-law is a shrewd woman; she probably used all the betrothal gifts as dowry."

Even though Xia Qiu lowered her voice, Chu Xue, who was standing outside the door, still heard it. She naturally understood An's mother's plan: she probably thought that once the money was brought over, it would be gone, so buying things would not only look nice but also be practical. In case something went wrong in the future, these things could be taken with her.

Although the probability of divorce is very low these days, it's not impossible. If it really comes to that, the dowry must be taken with you.

Amid cheers and firecrackers, the newlyweds were escorted into the courtyard.

The officiant had them stand in front of the portrait of the high-ranking leader and bow once, then bow twice to Mr. and Mrs. Qiu, and finally, amidst cheers from the crowd, the young couple bowed three times to each other.

The officiant, beaming with smiles, announced the completion of the ceremony: "The ceremony is complete."

Then someone egged them on, saying, "Send them to the bridal chamber!"
