Chapter 250 A Joyful Reminiscence

Cai Wen paused for a moment, then addressed the people from Sujia Village in the hall.

He solemnly cupped his hands and said, "Gentlemen, because Ziyi and my young lady are in love with each other, they are truly in love and mutually attracted."

But in the last two years, too many changes have occurred. First, there was constant war, which made people suffer.

Then they encountered various natural disasters, which delayed their marriage until now, and they have been unable to settle down.

The recent earthquake that caused a major disaster was another one.

Logically, I shouldn't have brought this up at this time.

However, both of them are getting on in years, and their marriage remains a long way off.

Having no other choice, Mr. Cai had to swallow his pride and approach the girl to discuss the matter.

All of you are Ziyi's elders, and you must care a lot about Ziyi's marriage.

If anyone has any further requests, please feel free to raise them one by one. Let's have an open and honest discussion and find a solution.

Upon hearing Cai Wen's words, Su Yong (Xiao Lie's father) said, "Mr. Cai, we've discussed this over the past two days. As long as Mr. Cai has no objections, we're fine with anything!"

Upon hearing this, Cai Wen's face lit up with a relieved smile.

He turned to Shanzi and asked gently, "Ziyi, this is a major event in your life. What are your thoughts on this?"

Shanzi blushed slightly, and although Cai Yao'er kept her head down, she still secretly looked up to peek.

Shanzi said respectfully, "Uncle Cai, my parents are no longer alive."

I am truly grateful to Grandma Su and all my uncles and aunts for their concern for my marriage.

After Shanzi finished speaking, he walked over to Cai Yao'er and took her hand.

"I understand Yao'er's thoughts, and Yao'er understands mine. I will cherish Yao'er for the rest of my life."

Cai Wen then looked at Cai Yao'er and asked softly, "Miss, what do you think?"

Cai Yao'er lowered her head shyly and said softly, "Uncle Cai, I will follow your arrangements completely."

Cai Bo nodded in satisfaction upon hearing their answers.

Then, smiling, he said to Grandma Su, "Sister, to be honest, I took their birth dates and times to a famous fortune teller in the city yesterday to have them calculated."

The gentleman said that the sixteenth of next month is an auspicious day, suitable for all activities, and a wonderful day for the two of them. What do you think, let's set the date for that day?

Xiao Lie and A Fu heard Cai Wen say it was the sixteenth of next month.

Xiao Lie's mouth dropped open in surprise: "So fast?"

Afu chimed in, "Yeah, it felt like it was decided all at once, it was really a bit sudden."

Xiaohe pouted and said dismissively, "Fast? I think it's too slow. It would be even better if we could get married a few days later on the sixteenth."

"Sister Yao'er is so wonderful, Brother Shan should have married her long ago!"

Yuan'er chimed in in her childish voice, "Sister Xiaohe is right. If Brother Shanzi and Sister Yao'er can get married in a few days, we'll have delicious food!"

Everyone burst into laughter at Yuan'er's innocent words.

After thinking for a moment, Grandma Su said, "Brother, since the doctor said that the sixteenth of next month is an auspicious day, let's set it for that day."

"However, time is tight, so preparing for this wedding will probably require a lot of effort from everyone."

Cai Wen nodded quickly: "What you said is right, elder sister. Our two families will handle the wedding together."

Although life is not as peaceful and prosperous as it used to be, we cannot mistreat the children; they must be treated with the proper etiquette.

Ah Fu smiled and said, "Uncle Cai, Grandma Su, don't worry, we younger generation will also do our part."

When Shanzi and Yao'er get married, we must hold a grand and lively wedding ceremony.

Everyone readily agreed and expressed their willingness to help.

The atmosphere in the hall became lively, with everyone chatting and discussing the wedding preparations.

Some suggested that the wedding decorations should be simple yet warm, while others said that the ingredients for the wedding banquet should be carefully prepared.

Some people were also discussing what special gifts to prepare for the newlyweds.

In this lively atmosphere, Shanzi and Cai Yao'er were a little shy, but their eyes were full of anticipation for their future life.

The discussion about their marriage proceeded smoothly amidst the laughter and cheers of the crowd.

The adults sat together discussing the various matters related to the upcoming wedding preparations.

Daya walked out of the hall alone and did not participate.

She came outside and, with a light and graceful movement, used her lightness skill to fly up like a nimble swallow and land steadily on the roof.

Then he sat quietly on the rooftop, gazing in the direction of Sujia Village.

Not long after Da Ya sat down, a figure appeared beside her.

The person who came was Xiaoyue. She had just seen Daya walk out of the hall alone, so she followed her out to see what was going on.

As soon as I came out, I saw Daya fly up to the roof.

She sat down next to Daya and looked at Daya's slightly forlorn profile, then asked softly, "Daya, are you thinking about your uncle and aunt?"

Daya did not respond immediately, but simply gazed silently into the distance.

Seeing this, Xiaoyue slowly spoke up, "I also miss my grandparents, my parents, my eldest brother, and my second brother. I wonder if they are doing well over there."

Daya sighed softly and said with emotion, "Six years have passed in the blink of an eye. Time really flies! It feels like those things happened just yesterday."

Xiaoyue nodded slightly, her gaze falling on Daya.

Suddenly the topic changed: "Yes, time flies. Look, Brother Shanzi is almost getting married."

"Sister Daya, you and Brother Shanzi are the same age, have you met your Mr. Right yet?"

Instead of answering directly, Daya asked in return, "And you, Xiaoyue, what are your thoughts?"

Xiaoyue shook her head with a wry smile: "Look at my white hair now, what young man would want me looking like this?"

"But Sister Da Ya is so beautiful and charming. Any young man who could marry her would be truly blessed!"

Daya felt a pang of heartache upon hearing Xiaoyue's self-deprecating words.

She reached out and gently stroked Xiaoyue's white hair, her eyes filled with pity.

"Xiaoyue, you've suffered so much these past years."

Xiaoyue gently shook her head, a relieved smile on her face.

"Sister Da Ya, I'm not suffering. Being able to lead everyone to escape back then, no matter how difficult it was, it was all worth it for me."

Daya looked at Xiaoyue, her eyes filled with heartache and reproach.

She was born as the eldest sister in their group, but she couldn't protect her younger brothers and sisters. Instead, her younger brothers and sisters had to stand in front of her.

"You're always like this, always bearing everything alone."

You need to know you're not alone. We're all here for you. Wouldn't it be better to let your older sister, Da Ya, support you through anything?
