Jiang He and Erya were both homeless orphans until they settled down in Wanglou Brigade, which put an end to their days of wandering. However, they still had to take care of their younger brothers and sisters. Their union now received blessings from many people.
It's not easy for these kids.
Just like Guan Cheng said to Feng Qingxue, looking after a group of younger siblings is tough. Living tightly, they only had a wedding ceremony, not a banquet, and entertained guests with roasted sunflower seeds, roasted peanuts, and a few pounds of sugar prepared by Feng Qingxue.
The peanuts were distributed by the brigade, and the sunflower seeds were grown in their private plot.
It was a bit simple, but no one minded.
In that era, the demand for a lavish "three cars and a band followed by dozens of legs" wedding was mostly seen in big cities and wasn't always completely met. Others had no material expectations for marriage; it all depended on ability.
