Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

"First bow to Heaven and Earth..."

The two knelt and kowtowed, facing the direction of the gate.

"Bowing to the parents twice..."

He turned to face his parents, knelt down and kowtowed.

“Okay, okay…” Yingzi murmured softly, her voice trembling.

Seeing her son get married made her much more excited than she was back then.

Yang Jianguo remembers that when they got married, she just kept smiling like an idiot.

Getting married was so easy back then!

All you have to do is nod, run off to get a marriage certificate, and you're done getting married.

Marriage certificates are framed and displayed like an honor roll; if anyone manages to get a wrinkle or anything like that, it's considered a bad omen.

I'm so angry I could die, but I'll settle for five yuan, fifty yuan, or even if I have no money at all.

so good!

Now... not now. Parents want their children to have a better life, so they give them this and that, and hold beautiful weddings.

In the end, it became a business for some people to make money and a platform for showing off.

But humans, in the end, cannot escape the common fate.

Just like the wedding in front of him, Yang Jianguo also sincerely wanted to make it beautiful.

Why should her son suffer the same injustices that she herself never endured?

Just for his face and reputation?

Forget it, he wouldn't care about such a reputation.

We did it with our own abilities, so we're not afraid of what people say.

"Husband and wife bowing to each other..."

Seeing the couple exchanging loving glances, so endearing, the parents' sadness disappeared.

As long as the two children are doing well and will have a good future, these elders have no other desires.

"Sending them to the bridal chamber!" The imperial broadcaster from the imperial radio station joined in the commotion.

A group of people came up and pushed Zhiyuan and Runye into a side room, blocking the door and shouting, "Wedding night! Wedding night!"

It was quite a grand affair, and it actually did have some merit.

Only after Zhiyuan agreed to give everyone a kiss in front of everyone was the door pushed open from the outside.

"Give me a kiss, give me a kiss..."

"Give me a kiss..."

The atmosphere was so perfect, it would be a shame not to give them a kiss.

Zhiyuan went up and put his arm around his wife's waist, his face beaming with pride, and said, "You've all seen it clearly, it's my wife, ah!"

After speaking, she lowered her head and covered her red lips with her large mouth.

The young people were shouting and clapping so loudly they almost lifted the roof off.

The old folks were all smiles, as if they had received a great benefit.

But this joy is truly delightful!

The old leader, whose health has been declining in recent years, was the happiest person today.

These young people are so energetic!

Despite the commotion and laughter, the wedding still had to go on.

The toasting ceremony is essential, and the original rule is to toast the man first, then the woman.

Following the steward's instructions, they proceeded further, but this time only the woman's biological parents and stepparents came from her family.

So Yang Jianguo simply set up a table, which was also the largest table at the event.

When the newcomers arrive, let's offer a toast together.

"Zhiyuan, your dad and mom are very happy that you're married. We don't have any high expectations, just one thing."

At all times, husbands and wives should respect and love each other, and be of one mind and one heart.

Sincerity begets sincerity; we see each other, care about each other, and always consider the other's feelings first.

That's how you live a good life, a life that others envy.

After Yang Jianguo finished speaking, it was Yingzi's turn:

"Mom doesn't have much to say, Dad's already covered all the big principles, haha..."

I just want to tell you that as a man, you must always remember to protect your woman and your home.

Runye is a good girl. If she suffers any injustice at your hands, I won't forgive you, and neither will your father."

Yang Zhiyuan agreed with a big smile, feeling as sweet as if he had eaten honey.

As for Runye, her eyes were filled with tears.

With in-laws like that, what else is there to say?

“In-law, why don’t you say a few words and pass on some life experience to the children?”

Runye's father stood up, and all his original eloquent speech became meaningless.

Zhiyuan's parents neither reprimanded their daughter nor openly or subtly taught her manners.

My child, he didn't say a word about how to be a good wife.

His words were full of protection for his daughter, something Runye's father hadn't expected.

No matter how many times Runye told him how good the two elders were, how they treated her even better than their own daughter, it didn't matter.

He felt it was unreal, but today, in front of so many people, he finally saw it for himself.

Runye's father didn't say anything else, just a few words: "You should discuss things with your husband more often, and don't be petty."

You and your husband are one person after you get married. If he's not doing well, you're not doing well; if he's doing well, you're doing well.

Whether you understand or not, you'll have to figure it out yourself!

Knowing his daughter as he does, he's sure she'll understand that they'll have a good time together from now on.

Runye's mother wasn't very knowledgeable; she was just a down-to-earth woman who lived her life on the land.

Kind-hearted, down-to-earth, hardworking and capable—that's enough.

He didn't give his daughter many instructions, but simply took their hands together and said, "Zhiyuan, I'm entrusting Runye to you."

Seeing her with tears in her eyes and her face full of reluctance.

Zhiyuan said firmly, "Mom, don't worry, I will make sure Runye has a good life and I will definitely not let her suffer."

"Mom believes you, Mom believes you." Runye's mother wiped away her tears and sat down again.

Runye then took the initiative to bring the wine to Yingzi's side, saying, "Mom, I will live a good life with Zhiyuan from now on."

I'm a very principled person. I'll only be with one man in my life, and I'll only ever acknowledge one man—it's him.

Runye turned her head, her eyes and heart filled with that man.

This is the man she loves, her man, her everything. Runye wants to spend her whole life with him.

Regardless of wealth, poverty, sickness, or suffering...

Chapter 561 Having a ulterior motive? Why don't you go find a man?

The wedding went smoothly, and the family returned to the courtyard house drunk that night.

Zhiyi became the temporary expert, arranging rooms, making bedding, and settling each guest in.

After everyone had gone to sleep, he returned to his room, his head soaked with sweat.

Today was truly exhausting.

Lying in bed, not wanting to move, Zhiyi was lost in thought, her mind blank.

Suddenly, I heard a creaking sound.

There were also fragmented murmurs that reached my ears, but they were hard to hear clearly.

Zhiyi instinctively pricked up her ears and listened attentively.

Then it was as if she were sitting on a stove, her cheeks flushed, then turned bright red, and finally became scalding hot and steaming.

Finally, he covered his head with the pillow and remained motionless.

The day after the wedding, the group packed their bags and booked train tickets to Chang'an.

They were in a hurry, as if they were going to a market in town.

But in reality, there is actually a bit of that meaning, even though everyone carries sincere blessings in their hearts.

But time waits for no one, and no one can stay idle.

Not only was Zhiyuan anxious, but Runye was also anxious.

His father is the township head, and he says he has a lot of free time and nothing much to do, but you can't do without him for even a day.

My second uncle was even more like that; he was always busy with work, big and small matters, working 24 hours a day without ever finishing.

Both women in the family have to work, and they both take time off work to come here.

There are a bunch of relatives, colleagues, neighbors, and friends waiting over there, and it won't be easy to get them all together.

Every family has its own affairs, and everyone is busy!

Therefore, the filming schedule was really tight.

At 2 p.m., the group boarded the train.

Just before getting into the car, Li Aimin secretly made another phone call to ask the driver to prepare a car and accommodation.

Runye's parents had actually arranged all of these things.

But he was also worried that something unexpected might happen, and his whole family would be standing there dumbfounded at the station.

No one looks good...

When the woman's family held a ceremony, Li Aimin, as her uncle, also went along.

We have to give the groom's family a proper welcome; it wouldn't look so small if it were just the two of us, sister and brother-in-law.

If we run into gossipy relatives and neighbors again, they'll say we don't value our new daughter-in-law, Runye.

Don't let these things cause unpleasantness between the young couple.

After the couple settled into their respective sleeping compartments, Li Lan laughed as she heard his explanations:

"Of all the people in this family, you are the most cunning."

Li Aimin was unconvinced and said, "How can this be called being cunning? I just care."

"Try talking to someone else, and see if I'll even acknowledge him!"

Seeing Li Lan with her head down, straightening her clothes, smiling but not saying a word, it was clear that she disagreed with what he said.

Li Aimin got even more worked up and insisted on giving her a piece of his mind:

"So, according to you, family members don't need to worry, and can just do whatever they want without any restraint?"

"Do you know why those people who can't resolve their conflicts used to be very close relatives?"

"It's all because of this kind of wrong thinking, like 'I only act this way because I consider you one of my own', ugh!"

Seeing that he was getting more and more agitated, Li Lan glared at him and said, "Speak properly, why are you making such a big deal out of this?"

"I'm not making a big deal out of it, I just get angry about some things."

"Honey, let me tell you, the closer you are to someone, the more carefully you need to maintain that relationship."

"True feelings are reciprocated, no matter how close you are."
