Armed with a machete and a gun, armed with a system, they fled the famine.

Two years later, at the farm.

Today is the wedding day of Zhao Yunchen and Chen Qingjiao.

Ever since Chen Qingjiao came of age, Tian Xiu'e has been arranging marriages for her daughter.

Upon learning of this, Zhao Yunchen went to his home the next day to volunteer himself.

After asking her daughter's opinion, Tian Xiu'e allowed Zhao Yunchen to be with her daughter.

It wasn't that she insisted on doing it this way; in fact, she had long realized that her daughter had fallen for Yun Chen, and that Yun Chen also had feelings for her daughter.

But Yun Chen felt that he had no parents and two younger brothers to take care of, and he was afraid that Jiao Jiao would be mistreated after marrying him.

So he kept his feelings to himself and hesitated to speak up.

Seeing her daughter growing thinner and thinner, Tian Xiu'e was extremely anxious. In the end, she simply went to Zhao Yan and told her about the relationship between her daughter and Zhao Yunchen.

After hearing her words, Zhao Yan's eyes lit up and she immediately had an idea.

“That’s easy. Just tell everyone that you’ve found someone for Jiaojiao and they’re getting engaged next month.”

Tian Xiu'e did exactly as Zhao Yan said.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yunchen finally couldn't sit still and went to her house the day after he learned about it to offer his services.

Tian Xiu'e pretended not to know about the affair between him and her daughter, and smiled as she agreed to his request.

Now that Chen Qingjiao has turned seventeen, the two are finally getting married.

Early in the morning, Zhao Yan was invited to Tian Xiu'e's home to help Chen Qingjiao with her bridal makeup.

Zhao Yan performed exceptionally well, transforming the delicate Chen Qingjiao into a stunning beauty.

Dou Xingyan praised Chen Qingjiao repeatedly, saying how beautiful she looked, until Chen Qingjiao's face turned bright red.

Zhao Yan watched from the side and couldn't stop laughing.

Zhao Yunchen soon arrived on a tall horse to fetch the bride.

A group of villagers and children followed behind him, eager to join in the fun.

Tian Xiu'e and Chen An didn't make things difficult for him, and they easily let him take the bride away.

He led his bride around the village of Huaihua, and they returned home just fifteen minutes before the auspicious hour.

"Worship the heavens and the earth-"

"Second worship high hall-"

"The ceremony is completed and sent to the bridal chamber——"

As the emcee's resounding voice faded, a burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted from the crowd.

Looking at the joyful smiles on everyone's faces, Zhao Yan felt happy too.

At this moment, Yuan Tianbao, his face flushed, leaned close to her and whispered in her ear, "Auntie, when I grow up, I want to marry Xiaomi like this too, what do you say?"

good or not?

Ha ha.

Zhao Yan thought to herself, what they did really proved that saying.

We should keep the good stuff within our own family.

……

After that, Zhao Yan, Yang Sanlang, and the others settled down completely at the farm.

After years of hard study, Zhao Yunjie passed the county-level imperial examination and became a Xiucai (a successful candidate in the county-level imperial examination). He later became a Juren (a successful candidate in the provincial-level imperial examination) and then a Jinshi (a successful candidate in the metropolitan-level imperial examination) the following year.

He later stayed in the capital and became a government official, thus securing a government job.

Zhao Yunqi continued to learn medicine from Yuan Yutang. After mastering his skills, he went alone to the Dou family army in the north, where he continued to contribute his talents.

Zhao Yunchen and Yuan Tianbao stayed at the farm, accompanying Zhao Yan and Yang Sanlang.

As for Zhao Yan, she thought that she hadn't lived long enough in her previous life, and she would definitely make up for the regrets of her previous life in this one.

Why have so many emotions when we're just living life?

Being happy every day is a good thing, isn't it?

[The End]
