Jing Hexuan calmly turned the half of his body that was holding Shi Bao inward. His face was expressionless, as if he hadn't heard anything, and his unpredictable eyes fell on the crowd who were busy setting up the venue.
Fortunately, he usually has this aloof and indifferent attitude, so there is nothing strange about him.
Shi Lingyao usually didn't say much in front of outsiders, but now he smiled, showing the look a mother should have when her child is praised: "Yes, this is my son."
She said and turned to Shi Bao: "Shi Bao, this is Uncle Li Jiang."
Li Jiang was stunned for a moment, with an imperceptible panic deep in his eyes: "Doctor Shi, do you know me?"
Shi Lingyao smiled lightly: "I have lived in the village for so many days, and I know every villager."
Li Jiang's smile was a little forced: "Doctor Shi is so awesome! He can recognize everyone in our village after living here for only a few days. When I first moved here, it took a long time just to recognize people!"
Shi Lingyao said calmly: "My memory may be different."
"Haha..." Li Jiang laughed dryly, "Then, Doctor Shi, you can go about your business, I won't disturb you."
Then he picked up the big table and left.
Shi Lingyao lowered his eyes, his expression a little difficult to discern.
Lin Yan and Zhang Xing found clues in their expressions.
Lin Yan carefully asked Shi Lingyao: "Doctor Shi..."
Shi Lingyao raised his hand and pinched his earlobe, looked at Lin Yan and chuckled: "Since you two finally came out to have some fun, stop guarding us and move around freely."
Although Lin Yan and Zhang Xing have always been careless, their brains are still very useful at critical moments.
Shi Lingyao usually makes no small moves when talking. This time she deliberately pinched her earlobe. Lin Yan and Zhang Xing's eyes fell on her ears unconsciously.
Thinking back to the attitude the two of them had towards the young man named Li Jiang, they suddenly thought of something, with a look of realization on their faces, and asked no more questions.
Lin Yan pretended to be stupid: "How can we go out and run around? When we went out, Doctor Xu told us that we will be Shi Bao's exclusive guards when we go out!"
Zhang Xing also said: "You and the boss seem to be busy, so let's just take care of Shi Bao."
Shi Lingyao nodded: "Okay, you two like Shi Bao and accompany him wherever he wants to go."
Shi Bao looked at Shi Lingyao longingly. He didn't want to go out to play. He just wanted to hang out with his mother.
Unfortunately, Shi Lingyao ignored the meaning in his eyes and stepped forward to pinch his cheek: "Mom, I still have something to do, so you go and play."
Shi Bao squeezed his little hand and pouted: "Okay."
He opened his little hands and said, "Mother, give me a hug!"
Shi Lingyao caught him and said, "You can watch the wedding ceremony tonight."
Shi Bao nodded obediently: "Ceremony!"
Shi Lingyao put Shi Bao down and said, "Okay, let's go play."
Shi Bao took Lin Yan's hand and walked away, looking back three times.
Jing Hexuan watched the two of them interact and said, "Shi Bao is very attached to you."
Shi Lingyao nodded: "I didn't feel it at first, but now I feel like I'm a mother."
Jing Hexuan smiled and said, "Emotions are generated through frequent interactions. If you get along day and night for a long time, feelings will naturally develop."
Shi Lingyuan looked at him sideways: "Are you talking about you?"
Jing Hexuan: "..." Why doesn't this person act according to common sense? Aren't you talking about Shi Bao?
Shi Lingyao succeeded in his mischief and turned around and left.
It was night in a blink of an eye, and the village was decorated with lights and colorful decorations. Big red lanterns and Double Happiness posters were all over the village. It was hard for the hunting team to actually find red paper and lanterns when they went out.
Although it was very cold outside, everyone was in a good mood and the atmosphere was fiery.
Xuxu was still in the house with the bride Azhen. The villagers arranged the venue and brought extra food from their own homes to share with everyone. One team even found a jar of wine!
The ingenious aunt used the remaining red paper to fold many small flowers and decorated them around the village. In the cold winter, the red paper flowers fixed in the ice and snow world were blown by the wind.
They didn't dare to make too much noise with the gongs and drums, lest they attract a swarm of zombies, but some people still couldn't help but tap their chopsticks on the table to play cheerful rhythms.
Everyone spread out a simple blanket, and there was a table on the blanket. On it were the tablets of the newlyweds and their elders, which is where the two newlyweds would worship heaven and earth.
Surrounded by tables, chairs and benches that everyone had put together here and there, the villagers were already seated.
The groom An Ning stood on the blanket and bowed his hands to everyone first: "Tonight is the wedding banquet for me and Azhen. Thank you everyone for your efforts for our wedding banquet. Without you, there would be no wedding banquet. An Ning will always remember your kindness! "
Everyone laughed kindly and urged him to pick up the bride quickly.
An Ning smiled shyly, turned around and walked towards Xuxu's house as her natal family's minister.
Other villagers gathered around and followed him.
The groom knocked on the door and shouted: "Azhen! I am An Ning! I am your future husband! Tonight we will tie the knot. In the future, I will never leave you, take care of you, protect you, and love you! Are you willing to marry? give to me?"
Everyone applauded and cheered: "Promise him! Promise him! Promise him!"
The door of the room was opened, and an aunt appeared at the door holding Azhen, who had a hijab on her head.
An Ning smiled even brighter, turned his back to her and squatted down: "Come! I'll carry you!"
"oh!"
"Promise him now, this kid is too cheap!"
Everyone gathered around the newcomer again, and as An Ning carried Azhen around the village, the newcomer came to the blanket.
Xuxu was the master of ceremonies at tonight's wedding. She watched the two newlyweds stand up and began to sing: "Bow down to heaven and earth!"
They both bent outward and bowed.
"Two thanks to Gaotang!"
The two of them turned back to face the tablet on the case and bowed down.
"Couple greetings!"
The two newcomers slowly turned around to face each other and bowed to each other.
Someone acted mischievously and deliberately pushed the groom's head. As a result, their heads hit each other, and everyone burst out laughing.
Xuxu suppressed a smile: "The ceremony is completed! Send it to the bridal chamber!"
The aunt wanted to help Azhen go back, but An Ning quickly said: "I'll come, I'll come, let me help her go back!"
So some villagers started to boo: "Oh, oh, oh, oh, you really can't wait for the bridal chamber!"
"Hahahaha, don't expose him!"
An Ning didn't care about everyone's ridicule, he supported his wife and returned to their new house.
Xuxu spread his hands: "How about we eat first?"
Immediately someone shouted: "Let the banquet begin!"
The hot food was brought to the table from the kitchen, and the aroma of the food immediately filled the entire village. The hot mist filled the village, and the joy of the wedding lingered in the entire village. Everyone sat together and prepared to eat.
At this time, An Ning came back with Azhen in hand.
Someone discovered them and shouted loudly: "An Ning, can't you do it? Is it going to be over so soon?"
The crowd roared with laughter.
Azhen's face turned red with embarrassment. An Ning stood in front of her with a silly smile on her face: "We can't let her wait alone in the room. I lifted my hijab and pulled her out to eat together. We are getting married and we can be happy together. No. It must be done according to custom.”
"You still love your wife! You've just gotten married and you already feel sorry for her!"
"An Ning is a good boy, Zhen! Come and have dinner together! Let's take advantage of it while it's hot!"
On a cold winter night, under the illumination of bright firelight, the village was filled with joy. This was a long-lost happy event since the end of the world, and everyone enjoyed this rare moment.
Over in the kitchen, two men came out carrying a big bucket and shouted: "Here comes the delicious stewed pork!"
