Zhang Shicheng said: "There's no way your second aunt married far away, let alone you, I haven't seen her for ten years. It's a hard life to say." He sighed.


    "I asked someone to write a letter about your marriage and I sent it to your second aunt. Let's see if she comes."

    Zhang Fangyuan replied: "If the second aunt comes, I will definitely treat her well."

    Zhang Shicheng nodded: "Your eldest uncle came and he asked me when you are going to propose marriage, and I told him about your business. As for the sixth child, I really don't have much contact with him. You are making a living in the city, so go tell him by the way."


    "Okay."

    "I'll go and greet the rest of the folks."

As the days approached the day of the wedding banquet, the Zhang family became more and more lively, and the villagers didn’t receive any fees. The villagers were not invited to the banquet by the Fei family, but Zhang Fangyuan's family invited them instead, and the villagers were happy to go.

    The villagers agreed to come to join in the fun, and it was easier for Zhang Fangyuan to go to the villagers' homes to borrow tables, benches, bowls, and plates to set up banquets. Some village women not only borrowed things, but for Zhang Shicheng's sake, they were willing to put aside their day's work, went to Zhang Fangyuan’s house early to help, and started to pile up a temporary earthen stove the day before the wedding banquet, boiled water, slaughtered chickens and ducks, prepared vegetables, and there were people coming in and out. Zhang Fangyuan’s house hadn’t been so lively for a long time.


    For a while, they were all helpers, even his fourth uncle and aunt were the receptionists. Zhang Fangyuan had nothing to do as a host, and he became the most idle person in the end. Seeing that there were people inside and outside the house, Zhang Fangyuan explained to the cook who was invited to set up the banquet, that tonight he was only entertaining the people who came to help and also made two hard dishes.


    Taking advantage of his free time, he slipped out through the back door.


    They would get married tomorrow, and he didn't expect to find Xu He outside today, and it was not good to go to Xu's house to find someone today. The back window of the house was closed, and there was some movement in the house. He exchanged a glance with the person who came to open the window: "Haitang Bay."

    Putting down three words, he turned around and left.

        "Why are you still looking for me today. Shouldn't your family be busy right now?"

    As soon as Zhang Fangyuan walked away, Xu He rushed out with his back feet. He trotted all the way but still failed to catch up with him. He gasped slightly and looked at the man sitting on the grass who seemed to be in deep thought.

    Zhang Fangyuan turned his head to look at the person he hadn't seen for several days, patted the grass beside him, and motioned Xu He to sit down.

    "It's been a while since I came to see you."

    Xu He responded, "Yeah."

    Zhang Fangyuan glanced at Xu He who was sitting next to him according to his words, but there was a person's distance between them.

    He frowned slightly, moved his buttocks, and he moved a little closer. Seeing that Xu He was only looking forward and not looking at him, he couldn't help saying sourly: "You didn't miss me?"

    Xu He's eyes moved, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. Instead, he asked, "What do you want me for?

"Don't change the subject!" Zhang Fangyuan frowned with thick eyebrows, childish like a child who insisted on buying candy from his parents in the market, and didn't like to hear anything else.

    Xu He's ears turned red: "Yes."

    The ambiguous answer made Zhang Fangyuan a little upset, but thinking that they would get married tomorrow, it wouldn’t be appropriate for the two to quarrel at this time.

    "Is everything ready at home?"

    Xu He nodded slightly. There was nothing to prepare. Annoyed about Xu Shaochun's marriage, they didn't care about him.

    "Then... will you be reluctant to part with your family?"

    "No."

    Not to mention that he was from the same village, and he could see them from time to time, even if he hadn't seen them for a long time, he didn't feel that hard to part with them.

    Zhang Fangyuan felt a little relieved when he heard the sound. He had seen marriages in the village. Usually, the groom’s family people were full of gongs, drums, and laughter, while the bride’s family had tears in their eyes.

    "Are you nervous?"

    Xu He pursed his lips, and said sincerely, "A little bit." He had never married, and when encountering such a major event in his life, there should be no one who wouldn’t be nervous.

    He lowered his eyes slightly, but if this person was Zhang Fangyuan, it seemed that there was no worry about an uncertain future, but a kind of expectation for the future.

    A hand suddenly stretched out in front of him, and slowly spread out like a flat boat. Xu He hesitated for a moment, then gently put his hand on it. Zhang Fangyuan immediately held his hand and wrapped his hand that was a little cold in the palm, and the boat became a blue brick house that could shelter from the wind and rain: "Don't be nervous, it's also my first time getting married."

    Although it was a bit rusty and there were many places where he couldn't figure it out, but: "I will protect you."
