After arriving home, the wedding process began. Li Yang and the others had nothing else to do, so they just joined in the fun. A boisterous crowd, amidst the humorous and witty host, was beaming with joy. Happy occasions truly are infectious.
"Kiss! Kiss!"
As the final part was nearing its end, the guys started cheering for Wang Long to kiss Liu Yingying on the spot. The men and women below the stage watched with wide eyes, laughing.
Wang Long didn't hesitate. What was a big man afraid of? He directly hugged Liu Yingying and gave her a deep kiss, then domineeringly waved at Li Yang and the group nearby, indicating it was an easy task, no difficulty at all.
Finally, the couple threw the bouquet, symbolizing a relay race. Whoever caught it would be the next to get married.
Amidst a tense atmosphere, Wang Long and Liu Yingying, with their backs to the stage, threw the vibrant roses, symbolizing the marriage baton, high into the air.
"Hurry up, I'm coming!"
Various screams and shouts erupted from the crowd!
Jiang Manman pulled Li Yang, wanting to grab it too. Girls were superstitious, so Li Yang just went along with her. They both stared wide-eyed at where the flowers were falling.
Perhaps it was fate, but that damn Xu Rui miraculously stood out from the crowd, effortlessly and precisely winning the top spot, directly catching the falling roses!
"Tch, oh dear,"
Various exclamations rose and fell, but they couldn't change the fact. Xu Rui smiled radiantly, like a victorious general returning, swaggering onto the stage and presenting the flowers to the newlyweds!
After some more commotion, they finally reached the crucial part: eating the banquet.
Manman and Liang Shanjuan enjoyed the privilege of air conditioning inside with Li Yang. Some of the guys also brought their female companions. Just enough women formed one table, and the men formed two tables. It was extremely comfortable on the second floor, with a wide view, and the food had a unique flavor.
Manman and Liang Shanjuan ate heartily. Li Yang watched them and felt much more at ease, no longer worried about them not eating enough. So, he also let loose and started drinking baijiu with the people at his table. For a wedding, beer wasn't suitable for the table, so drinking baijiu in the middle of summer was quite something.
Xu Rui stole the show today and naturally became the number one public enemy for drinking. This guy had caused quite a few embarrassing incidents that made everyone happy when he was drunk, also playing the role of a lively treasure who brought joy.
"Are you raising fish? Hurry up and finish it!"
He Junjun's face was flushed, and he was smiling as he urged Xu Rui to drink.
"Hurry up, stop dawdling!"
Xiang Bei also chimed in.
"Fatty, it's your turn to get married next, let's celebrate in advance, hurry and drink!"
Zhang Hua was also very happy. After all, he was closest to Wang Long. Today was a joyous day, so he also urged Xu Rui, even though he had a girlfriend who was a good friend of Liu Yingying. However, the two of them wouldn't get married too early; they were both fun-loving and wouldn't be tied down by marriage prematurely.
After a while, Wang Long and Liu Yingying came over to toast. Just by looking at his face, you could tell Wang Long had drunk a lot; he was even a little unsteady on his feet.
"Long, drink less, there's still a lot to do this afternoon,"
Zhang Hua couldn't bear to see his friend like this and started persuading him!
"It's fine, I've got it under control, don't worry,"
Wang Long patted his brother's shoulder affectionately to comfort him.
"Come, come, everyone raise your glasses, everyone, everyone," Everyone stood up and solemnly picked up their wine glasses, with sincere blessings, one by one they enthusiastically clinked glasses with the couple, and finally, they all drank it in one gulp.
"Good, domineering, let's continue tonight, no one is allowed to sneak away early today, otherwise don't blame your brother for getting angry!"
Wang Long was very happy. His brothers were very supportive today and had given him enough face at his wife's family's place. So, he decided to have a good time today, after all, they were all young men in their twenties and could handle the revelry.
Li Yang felt a bit overwhelmed. It seemed like they wouldn't be going home until they were drunk today, so he might as well face it calmly. He finished half a glass of beer in one go, then quickly picked up a piece of cold dish with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth to suppress the alcohol.
After drinking some of the essential one white and one black drinks for a wedding, he finally felt a little more comfortable.
Manman was a little worried that Li Yang had drunk too much and absentmindedly turned her head to watch the goings-on on Li Yang's side.
Men who drank generally didn't eat much. The table of girls, however, devoured everything like a whirlwind; there was basically nothing left on the table. Usually, these goddesses would be full after eating just a couple of bites of rice, but at this moment, they truly showed their true selves.
Everyone who grew up in the countryside since childhood would particularly reminisce about their past. The soul of eating at a banquet was deeply etched in the memories of every child who grew up in the countryside in the 1980s, forever unforgettable!
Those who haven't experienced it firsthand will never understand this knot in their heart that is etched in their bones and accompanies them throughout their lives!
Li Yang's table was basically full of heavy drinkers; not a single one didn't drink. Li Yang's alcohol tolerance was only comparable to He Junjun's; any of the others could take him down easily.
However, the guys were very understanding. He and He Junjun just went along with the crowd and dealt with it. Xu Rui wasn't so lucky. Today he won the lucky flower and became the target of the guys' attacks. Before long, his eyes became hazy!
But this guy's alcohol tolerance was truly impressive. If it were Li Yang or He Junjun, either of them would have been knocked out long ago!
The girls at the next table had finished eating long ago and were chatting in groups of three or five. They slowly got up and came to Li Yang's side, affectionately urging him to drink less. After being teased by his friends for a long time, Manman also awkwardly gave a few instructions and returned to her own table.
"Manman sister, don't worry, it's not easy to come here, let him have as much fun as possible. How many happy occasions are there in a lifetime!"
Liang Shanjuan comforted Manman very reasonably. Before long, the two of them started chatting about various private topics for women again, a harmonious and pleasant scene.
Happy times always passed quickly. Before long, the banquet was nearing its end. With the serving of the last dish, the "get out" soup, it signaled that everyone could stand up and disperse!
Li Yang rested for a while, then served himself a small bowl of soup. It was sour and sweet and very palatable. He liked this kind of real food made at rural banquets the most; it was a hundred times better than the watery stuff sold in restaurants. Many years later, Li Yang would never have the chance to taste this familiar yet unforgettable flavor again!
"Yang, when are you getting married? Your wife is not bad!"
The speaker was Zhang Tao. His family was the wealthiest among the group. He was usually quite low-key, without luxury cars or designer clothes, and he smoked like everyone else. He didn't brag and never acted arrogant when interacting with his friends; he was a unique presence.
"It's still early, let's talk about it later!"
Li Yang's love for Manman had now exceeded his expectations. His heart was also quite chaotic at the moment, so he simply didn't think too much about it. The boat would straighten itself when it reached the bridge. He reluctantly responded to Zhang Tao a few times and ended the topic.
"What's the plan next?" Qin Shou also looked drunk and casually asked.
Wang Long just told me that the guys should go to his room and rest for a bit, then we'll continue the battle this afternoon. No one is allowed to leave, or else we won't keep in touch in the future. This is his last chance; he definitely won't have this opportunity to gather again after today.
"Guys, I propose that no matter what, we help Wang Long get through this today, alright!"
Zhang Hua looked at everyone with great momentum, hoping to get their approval.
"Definitely, let's go, rest for a bit. Whoever wants to play cards, we'll start the battle later," He Junjun casually agreed.
Everyone started getting up and leaving the table. Li Yang finished the small bowl of soup in a couple of gulps, stretched lazily, feeling extremely comfortable. He was also perfectly tipsy from the alcohol, and he definitely wouldn't be able to escape tonight.
"How are you feeling, are you uncomfortable, darling?"
Manman gently stepped forward to support Li Yang, asking with concern.
"I'm fine, don't worry, sweetie," Li Yang lovingly stroked Manman's little face. Her standard oval face was comparable to Wang Jingjuan's.
From the bottom of his heart, Li Yang liked her and Wang Jingjuan's appearance the most; they were both on the frequency that made his heart flutter.
"Look how happy you are. Our Sister Manman is a famous beauty at the Luoyang store. I didn't expect her to fall into your hands!"
Liang Shanjuan was also quite happy today, so she casually teased Li Yang. A blush of warmth appeared on her face, making her look beautiful and moving.
"Let's find a place to rest for a while."
It was only a little past one in the afternoon. Banquets usually started promptly at twelve noon. The sun outside was still scorching, and there was a mess everywhere after the banquet ended, with all sorts of garbage and wine bottles underfoot. Li Yang was carefully led downstairs by Manman, holding his hand.
"Sister Manman, why don't you and Li Yang come to my place to rest for a while? It's still early, and he's going to play tonight, so there's no need to go back and forth!"
"Is it convenient, sister?"
Manman asked cautiously.
"It's fine, no one's home at this time. My dad is probably still drinking with Wang Long's dad, and my old mom is also chatting lively with the women. There's no one else at home, let's go!"
Liang Shanjuan enthusiastically pulled Manman without question, ready to go home.
"Yang, come play cards!"
He Junjun saw Li Yang walking out the door. He had just come back from the restroom, his face flushed red, a freshly lit Red Flag Canal cigarette dangling from his mouth, and he said casually, reeking of alcohol.
"Alright, you guys play first, I'll be back in a bit."
After casually sending him away, Li Yang walked towards the street with the two beauties.
"Wow, Juanjuan, your house is too grand!" I also want to be able to live in this kind of rural villa someday.
Li Yang was also stunned, not expecting Liang Shanjuan's home to be so luxurious.
A grand gate, and after entering, there was a small courtyard filled with the chirping of birds and the fragrance of flowers, planted with various unnamed flowers. A three-story building with a large open-air balcony, and the master bedroom was designed with floor-to-ceiling windows, making the indoor light very bright.
Her old dad and old mom lived on the first floor. The bedrooms of their three sisters were all on the second floor. The eldest sister was married, and the third sister was also attending university in another city. Basically, Liang Shanjuan lived alone on the second floor, but she wasn't usually home, which was a waste of such a good house.
Liang Shanjuan's bedroom was the master bedroom, enjoying the luxurious treatment of floor-to-ceiling windows.
It was also equipped with a spacious bathroom with everything needed for showering.
Manman was so envious that she couldn't stop herself from acting spoiled and pulling Li Yang, asking him to build her a similar large villa in the future.
Li Yang didn't hesitate, patting his chest loudly and promising Manman that he would definitely fulfill this wish for her someday. Unexpectedly, this sentence became a prophecy, and one day many years later, Li Yang really fulfilled Manman's long-held wish!
Liang Shanjuan saw that Li Yang looked a bit uncomfortable, so she looked around.
"Why don't you two rest in my room, and I'll go to my sister's room? But you two need to be careful!"
As she said this, Liang Shanjuan spoke in a playful, teasing tone.
Li Yang and Manman were smart enough to understand what she meant: don't get intimate on someone else's bed, it would be quite awkward if it got dirty.
"Oh my, look at you, am I, your sister, someone who doesn't know any better?"
Manman playfully teased Liang Shanjuan, giggling and having a lively time.
"Let's go, Sister Manman, let's take a bath together and let Li Yang rest, otherwise, how will he be able to handle the battle tonight?"
Then the two sisters happily pulled each other and left the bedroom.
"Oh, right, Li Yang, if you want to take a bath, there are new bath towels and towels inside, just take them yourself. I'm taking your wife away first, don't hold a grudge against me, okay?"
After saying that, the two of them pinched each other again, laughing and leaving the room.
Li Yang was speechless for a moment, shook his head, and walked into the bathroom. It was not only spacious but also had a unique fragrant smell, completely unlike a toilet.
It was filled with all sorts of bottles and jars that Liang Shanjuan used for washing up. A rich family is indeed different. Li Yang stood by the toilet and comfortably relieved himself, then started taking off his clothes to take a bath. Anyway, they were old classmates, so there was no need to be reserved.
Just as well, Liang Shanjuan's slippers were also in the bathroom, so Li Yang put them on directly. The size was too small, but he managed to make do. He estimated that Liang Shanjuan's small feet wore at most a size 37.
After taking a bath, Li Yang comfortably lay on the bed in his underwear, stretching his body. The air conditioning temperature was just right, and there was still a trace of Liang Shanjuan's body fragrance on the pillow.
Before long, he felt sleepy and fell asleep...
In the living room outside, the two beauties also comfortably took a bath and were lying leisurely on the spacious soft sofa. An emotional blockbuster movie was playing on the TV. Liang Shanjuan gave Manman her new camisole pajamas. Their fair skin and slender white legs were intertwined, and they were playfully kicking each other with their bare feet.
"Sister Manman, your toenail polish is so pretty."
Liang Shanjuan's size 37 small feet were also quite pretty. She praised Manman's pink nail polish.
"Yours is nice too! Mine is a color Li Yang bought for me, he likes this kind."
Manman lay on the comfortable sofa and casually agreed.
"Ah, I really envy you, Sis! Li Yang is a good boy, you should cherish him."
"Hehe, that depends on him. If he doesn't want me anymore, there's nothing I can do!"
Actually, Manman was quite scared inside. She knew Li Yang's current situation, but once a woman gives her heart to love a man, she won't use a calm mind to think about whether her love is right or wrong.
The two women chatted for a while and gradually fell asleep.
Manman didn't know what time she woke up naturally. Wearing pajamas that barely covered her little butt, she gently got up and went to the bathroom to pee.
Liang Shanjuan was still sleeping soundly. Her sexy posture in her sleep made even Manman, a woman, a little surprised. If Li Yang saw it, who knows what his reaction would be!
After using the toilet, Manman secretly ran into Li Yang's room. Looking at that familiar strong body, she didn't know how many wonderful memories it brought back!
Imagining that if Li Yang no longer belonged to her in the future, Manman's heart suddenly had a thought of unwillingness. So, she boldly stepped forward and threw herself into his arms, her rosy, tempting lips directly kissing the still-asleep Li Yang
