There are many people who want to curry favor. Those who can curry favor with the people on the ground can sit at the end of the table. However, most people are too embarrassed to sit there, so those who can sit at the back have proud smiles on their faces.

On such a joyous occasion, since the other guests were sitting in the back, Shen Pengfei couldn't very well ask them to leave.

This meant that Shen Tingci could proceed as usual.

Shen Tingci led Gu Shuhe and called out to everyone one by one.

Gu Shuhe received more than thirty red envelopes just for the family reunion ceremony; it could be said that almost everyone who came today received one.

Finally, there's Shen Pengfei and Chen Ying.

Once engaged, a formal relationship is established, and at this stage, one must address their parents as "Dad" and "Mom."

Although Gu Shuhe blushed, she still called out "Dad" and "Mom".

Shen Pengfei and Chen Ying quickly took out red envelopes from their pockets and placed them on the red tray she was holding.

Jiang Ruoruo could clearly see the bulging red envelopes that Shen Pengfei and Chen Ying gave her, standing in the crowd.

After receiving the red envelope, it's time to pick up the items.

The items purchased by the groom's family should be taken out at this time and taken back by the bride's family. They will then be brought over with the bride's dowry when she arrives at her new home.

Shen Tingci led the people to bring the items out of the room and laid them out in front of everyone. Everyone took a quick look, and then the Gu family took them away.

They piled up the eight-immortal table in the main room of the Shen family, one item at a time, until it was completely full and there wasn't enough room to stack them all.

Then, Shen Tingci took out something wrapped in a red handkerchief from his pocket.

He stood by the table and asked Gu Shuhe, "Shall I put it on you?"

As soon as he took it out, everyone noticed it. The youngest daughter of the Shen family was the first to ask, "Tingci, what's wrapped in this handkerchief?"

Shen Tingci lifted the handkerchief, revealing a gleaming gold ring underneath. "A ring!"

As Shen Tingci spoke, he picked up the ring and said, "I want to tie people down a bit." As soon as he finished speaking, a distinct blush appeared on his fair skin.

He wasn't a natural comedian like Gu Yanli, and his upbringing taught him to be self-disciplined and respectful of etiquette, so such outspokenness was truly a challenge for him.

But on such a joyous day, he still wanted to say something.

Fortunately, on such a joyous day, Shen Pengfei was also happy and did not intend to strictly restrain him.

Everyone laughed when he said that.

Although he and Gu Shuhe were both smiling with blushing faces.

But some people didn't laugh.

Take Jiang Ruoruo for example.

If Shen Tingci hadn't been so unwilling to find a partner or get married, she and Shen Tingyu should have gotten married long ago.

Nowadays, very few people stay unmarried until they are 25 or 26.

Most of them were in their early twenties, and at the latest twenty-two or twenty-three, and they were basically all married.

Because of the Shen family's situation, her marriage to Shen Tingyu has been delayed until now, so Chen Ying is very polite to her.

Their engagement is in two weeks, and Chen Ying must have already discussed the details of the engagement with their family.

It's pretty much the same; Gu Shuhe will give her a share of what she already has.

The quantities of clothes, food, and other supplies were all agreed upon beforehand.

So her parents were very satisfied.

But we didn't discuss the gold ring!

Who told her there was a gold ring?

Besides, now that the gold ring has been passed on to Gu Shuhe, what does she want?

Does being the eldest daughter-in-law mean you get all the advantages?

Jiang Ruoruo was practically going crazy standing to the side.

Unfortunately, nobody paid any attention to her.

Everyone's smiling eyes were fixed on the newlyweds; Shen Tingci had already put a ring on Gu Shuhe's finger.

After putting on the rings, one of them put his hand in his pocket and the other put his hand behind his back.

Although she had her hands behind her back, it didn't stop Shen Tingci from speaking with a blush on her face, "Have someone load the things into the car!"

Shen Pengfei immediately raised his hand and beckoned, "Come on, help your brother move!"

There are many boys in the Shen family who are younger than Shen Tingci.

Everyone worked together quickly and efficiently to load the items onto the vehicle.

With everything loaded onto the car, the Gu family naturally got up and headed back.

The meal took quite a while. Afterwards, there was the process of recognizing relatives and moving things, which took up some time. If they didn't leave soon, it would be dark by the time they got home.

No one from the Shen family stopped them. They got up and saw the person out, and specially gave the tractor driver a red envelope, instructing him to drive the tractor slowly and not too bumpy.

Shen Tingci originally wanted to follow, since he had picked up Gu Juyuan by car and should at least drive him back.

But Gu Juyuan waved his hand and said no, "You can squeeze in on the tractor, why bother making you come all the way?"

"Going back and forth would take a lot of time, so let's not waste that effort."

"We'll take the tractor back."

When they came to pick him up, the Shen family even let Shen Tingyu sit on the tractor and stand in the cold wind with them; that's quite a gesture of hospitality.

So Gu Yanli also refused, "Don't bother going back and forth, it's not that far."

Gu Juyuan nodded to Zhong Meixian, "That's right!"

Zhong Meixian added, "Normally, if there's nothing urgent, I'd walk to the county town anyway, so it's no big deal!"

Jiang Ruoruo listened to Zhong Meixian's words from the side, her face expressionless, but in her heart she felt a wave of contempt. Someone from such a family background had married into her family and become her sister-in-law.

Jiang Ruoruo felt that she would be laughed at by others in the future.

If he can't outdo Gu Shuhe, he'll be laughed at even more.

She was really... furious.

Is it because she married a different man that she, a poor peasant, is entitled to all the benefits?

While Jiang Ruoruo was indignant, Gu Juyuan had already nimbly climbed onto the tractor, thus proving to the Shen family that there was no need to send anything at all.

After Gu Juyuan climbed onto the vehicle, Lin Liansheng and the others said, "Let's just take the tractor back."

"Yes, yes."

As for Zhong Meixian, she was with Wen Tang, Gu Shuhe, Gu Jin, and the others, all crammed into the car driven by Gu Yanli.

The tractor was carrying mostly young men, which seemed to work.

Shen Pengfei nodded and said, "Then you should drive carefully!"

"Okay, I'm leaving. You can go in now!" Gu Juyuan waved to the people.

"Put-put-put~" The tractor drove off first, and this time Gu Yanli drove behind.

After the Gu family left, the Shen family's relatives stood together, and Shen's aunt and uncle were still praising Gu Shuhe, saying, "Tingci made the right choice in choosing this daughter-in-law."

Especially Aunt Shen, who exclaimed, "That's right, sister, you're so lucky!"

"Look at the daughter-in-law Tingci picked for you, she's like a fairy descended from heaven."

“That’s right, her face is so pretty, it looks like it was drawn on. And she’s so tall, I’ve never seen many girls that tall,” said Aunt Shen.

Jiang Ruoruo was also standing to the side, and she felt uncomfortable at all upon hearing these words.

When she felt unwell, she would tell her mother, "Mom, I'm leaving, I'm going home."

Zhou Fenfen looked around. "Wait a minute, they haven't left yet!"

Jiang Ruoruo got even angrier. "Fine, if you're not leaving, I'm leaving first."

After she finished speaking, she went to push the bicycle she had brought from home.

Everyone was standing at the gate when she went to push her bicycle, and naturally everyone saw the commotion.
