Chapter 204 - 0204: Grand Wedding 4_1
Feng Aizhong, the cousin from her uncle’s side, carried Feng Qingxue out of the room and helped her onto a mule cart covered with new blankets. After saying thanks to Feng Aizhong, Lu Jiang, who was holding Niu Yibao’s crutch, helped Feng Qingxue change into new leather shoes with one hand.
The duty of carrying the bride out should have fallen to Feng Qingxue’s two older brothers, but neither of them had made an appearance, so Feng Aizhong stepped in.
Feng Qingxue was wearing a pair of red socks that completely covered her skin from view.
The old shoes removed by Qingxue were held by her second aunt, and she only started to speak once the young men accompanying Lu Jiang had loaded the dowry – boxes, blankets, a bicycle, a sewing machine and other items – onto the mule cart in the back. Not a single item was missing. She then announced, "The ceremony is over, the ceremony is over!"
With the ceremony concluded, the procession began.
The procession headed directly forward without turning back, following a planned route that still led to the Lu Family’s house.
The dowry on the cart caused quite a stir among the onlookers who watched the procession!
Who in the countryside had a wedding like this?
Two large red boxes, four new blankets, a bicycle, a sewing machine, a large red metal thermos, enamel basins, towels and food supplies, plus the groom wore military boots, and the bride wore new red shirts, black pants and black shoes. They were all shiny and new, with flowing red veils over their heads, adding a stunning burst of color to the drab era!
Although there was no sound of drums and music, the lively atmosphere was unforgettable.
As the Secretary and Brigade Leader of the Wanglou Brigade, Wang Zhengguo had always officiated at the weddings of young men and women. So instead of staying for the meal at his niece’s house, he returned with the procession and was the first to enter the new house of the Lu Family.
