Snowstorm: I'm Super Rich in the Apocalypse-Chapter 392 Wedding

The wedding ceremony took place in the living room of Cheng Yang’s house.

Cheng Yang carried Fang Lanlan into the living room, where Squad Leader Fang and Lu Jianguo were seated in the main seats. The reason why Lu Jianguo was also in a principal position was partly due to his status, and partly due to his age and seniority.

The rest were seated on both sides. Meng Meng and Chen Lang were the best man and bridesmaid, though Meng Meng looked more like a flower girl. But given the limited number of people available, it had to suffice.

Chen Shaonan was chosen to host because, as a teacher, he was accustomed to speaking on stage, making him a natural fit for the role.

The script had been prepared in advance, and today Chen Shaonan was uncommonly nervous because such a wedding carried the hopes of many people and symbolized a very important meaning.

He cleared his throat, "Today, I am honored to stand here and preside over the wedding of this happy couple. On behalf of all the guests, I wish to bless them with a love that is full and ever-flowing, as they walk together towards a bright and happy future."

Indeed, these words might seem very official, echoing those before the apocalypse, but in the context of post-apocalypse, their meaning could be interpreted quite differently.

Gu Pan and the others applauded together.

Then Chen Shaonan invited the wedding officiant, Lu Jianguo, to speak.

Today, Lu Jianguo didn’t use any official jargon but sincerely wished that they could survive the apocalypse and live a happy life.

Next was Squad Leader Fang’s speech. He had a lot to say, but fearing it would make everyone melancholic, he also expressed his blessings simply, hoping the couple would support each other and make it through the apocalypse.

Not many speeches had been scheduled. Who didn’t understand the apocalypse? Speaking too much would only be burdensome. Better to eat and drink more later during the meal.

The exchange of rings and reading of the wedding vows proceeded swiftly. They drank from the bridal cup, and thus the ceremony was complete.

There was no need for a wedding certificate now, so Gu Pan prepared a marriage document for the couple, an ancient practice that still held significant meaning in Huaxia.

With the ceremony concluded, the feast began.

There were still two tables, with plenty of food. Today Gu Pan even fried a dish of eggs, having previously stated no one should ask where these things came from. Today was a day of happiness, to enjoy food and drink to the full.

Cheng Yang and Fang Lanlan made toasts at both tables, then sat down to eat. Since there were few people, they didn’t need to adhere to many ancient etiquettes. One had to adapt to the circumstances at hand.

However, Gu Pan brought two bottles of low-alcohol good wine. It was a happy day, so except for the underage Meng Meng, everyone had a drink.

Thinking that no one would be on guard or patrolling to watch over things, they had moved all the valuable supplies into a corner of Cheng Yang’s living room early in the morning. Even if everyone got drunk, with so many people around the supplies, they wouldn’t be in danger.

Moreover, the tickets to Mount Everest were with Gu Pan. They trusted that no one could steal Gu Pan’s things, for after all, the cartload of grain she had hidden so well years ago was still so fresh when distributed to them. It would have been impossible for someone else to keep it, as it would’ve surely gone moldy and sprouted hair by now.

Thus, today they had no concerns and could simply enjoy their meal and drinks.

Only, Gu Pan was worried about the strawberries and melons in their house being stolen, so Lu Jianguo especially had his secretary come to watch over them.

While they were eating, they saved a portion of the food for Lu Jianguo’s secretary, which Meng Meng delivered.

As a result, Meng Meng caught a thief while delivering the meal.

The thief hadn’t made it into Gu Pan’s house, but as soon as he arrived at the doorway, Meng Meng spotted him. Seeing that the person wasn’t big, Meng Meng tackled him by herself and pinned him to the ground.

Lu Jianguo’s secretary was startled by the noise and came out. "Little girl, did you catch this person?"

Meng Meng nodded her head. "He’s probably a thief. Since the wedding over there is so festive, we didn’t call them. Let’s tie this person up, and later Uncle Lu can deal with him."

Lu Jianguo’s secretary looked at Meng Meng and smiled. "You’re not very big, but you’re very calm."

Feeling flattered, Meng Meng scratched her head. "It’s okay, I guess."

The thief who was caught was really frustrated. If he had been caught by an adult in the house, he wouldn’t have been as upset, but to be captured by a kid? Now he didn’t want to say anything, he even wanted to die.

Lu Jianguo’s secretary tied the man up, and Meng Meng gave her food before going back to continue with the feast. However, she worried and went back home to check again, only to catch another thief.

It’s not surprising; they were hosting a wedding today, and many people knew about it. From the outside, they could see everyone congregating in the central house—a perfect opportunity for thieves.

Unfortunately for them, all the supplies had been moved to the new living room, and all the tickets were in Gu Pan’s hands. With Lu Jianguo’s secretary watching over Gu Pan’s house and the fruit, there wasn’t any chance for mischief.

Gu Pan and the others didn’t worry, so they didn’t patrol or anything, but no one expected that Meng Meng would catch two thieves.

After the banquet ended, Lu Jianguo and his secretary took the two thieves away.

Gu Pan and the others had a little to drink, not too much, just enough to be tipsy. Afterwards, everyone took their belongings home. After all, tonight Cheng Yang and Fang Lanlan needed privacy for their wedding chamber and couldn’t be bothered with watching over the supplies.

That night, everyone tried not to walk about too late, to avoid disturbing Cheng Yang’s performance.

Lu Ruisheng and Gu Pan lay in bed, reminiscing about their own wedding night, feeling very sweet about it. It seemed like it was just yesterday, but who could have imagined so many years had passed since the apocalypse.

Cheng Yang was in good shape. Despite the apocalypse, he never suffered with the food because he was with Gu Pan’s group, and with regular exercise, his body was strong, so he hardly slept that night.

Fang Lanlan was also healthy, but even she couldn’t withstand Cheng Yang’s vigorous activities. She had planned to get up early the next day to thank everyone, but when she woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.

Not finding Cheng Yang in the room, Fang Lanlan hurriedly got dressed and went out to wash up.

As soon as she reached the living room, she saw Gu Pan bringing over a basin of chicken soup. "Lanlan, you really need to nourish yourself well today."

Fang Lanlan’s face turned beet red. "Thank you, sis."

Gu Pan looked at her with a smile. "Not bad, you have a rosy complexion. You have a couple of days off, so just enjoy your time at home with Cheng Yang. For meals and such, I’ll bring them over for you."

Nowadays, a honeymoon was out of the question. Just getting married meant the two could really relax completely, and that was considered very good.

At that moment, Lu Xuerong and Duan Shumei also came over, each bringing dishes from their homes. Just like Gu Pan said, for the next few days, they wouldn’t have to cook; someone from each household would bring over a dish.

Fang Lanlan was truly grateful and touched. These neighbors were more like family.

Cheng Yang came in from outside, fresh and cheerful as he greeted everyone. He had just been to the nearby woods to pick a few wildflowers.

Gu Pan and the rest laughed when they saw the flowers in Cheng Yang’s hands. They said no more, put down their gifts, said their goodbyes quickly, and went home to not disturb the newlyweds.

Fang Lanlan blushed with embarrassment, and meeting Cheng Yang’s fervent gaze, she didn’t know where to look.
