The jeep made a loop around Huaihua Village and returned to the Gu Family home. By now, everyone was gathered here waiting, making the atmosphere especially lively.
Sheng Zexi held Ningning's hand as they got out of the car. In front of both families' elders, and beneath the leaders' portraits, they made vows together, promising to be lifelong companions and revolutionary partners.
"Good!" As someone shouted, everyone burst into enthusiastic applause.
As one dish after another was brought to the table, the banquet began.
The villagers attending this wedding knew that Sheng Zexi and the Gu Family valued Ningning highly, but none had expected such extravagance—a table set with ten dishes, signifying perfection, split into five meat and five vegetable dishes.
And those meat dishes weren't just token bits of meat, but generous portions you could see with the naked eye.
"What a lavish spread! How much did all this cost?" someone marveled.
