Chapter 936: Setting the Wedding Date
Chapter 936: Setting the Wedding Date
"This... it’s indeed difficult to find Master. After I left the island, I never saw Master again. Later, when I missed Master, I even went to the sea area around the original island, but strangely, I couldn’t find the island where I once stayed at all. There was no way for me to find Master, but I believe Master must know about Wan’er and my wedding, and he will definitely show up when the time comes."
Lin Feng understood what the three old men were thinking when they mentioned Master, but mentioning Master also gave him a headache. Master was indeed mysterious, like a dragon seen in head but not in tail. After leaving the island, he had never seen Master again and tried several ways to contact him, but none was successful. He had no choice but to let it go, except waiting for Master to find him. There was nothing he could do about it.
However, Lin Feng believed that Master should know about his big wedding. Such a big event was something Master couldn’t possibly miss. On the day of the wedding, Master would definitely appear. Thinking of this, Lin Feng felt relieved, guessing he could only wait until then to see Master. Otherwise, Master would have contacted him already.
"So it’s like that..."
"That’s right, the three of us have been waiting for decades, haven’t we?"
"Let’s wait for the wedding day, I guess we should be able to see him then."
Hearing what Lin Feng said, the three old men also knew that what he said was true. If that old man was so easy to find, they wouldn’t have gone decades without seeing him. At this point, there was nothing they could do but hope that the magical old man would show up on the day Lin Feng and Wan’er got married, fulfilling their wish.
"Lin Feng, how did your master train you into what you are now on the island?"
"Nothing much, just threw me a few books to read by myself. Later, I just used a computer to go online and learned all sorts of messy stuff."
"Why would you learn so many things? How could that be?"
"I don’t even know how it happened. After I arrived on the island, it seemed I had a photographic memory."
"I’m most curious about how your martial arts were cultivated. How could you reach your current level?"
"At first, I was chased by a pack of wolves for months, fortunately survived, and then I experienced a breakthrough in sensing qi, which set me on the path of cultivation."
"So that’s how it was, you are indeed fortunate."
"Now when I think back, I don’t even know how I managed to survive on the island."
"Right, the computer, how could there be a computer and internet on the island?"
"I found it on a crashed ship, took off the solar panels and a satellite phone from the ship, why couldn’t I go online?"
"No wonder, I was wondering..."
...
Led by Qian Rong, the three old men continued chatting happily with Lin Feng, while Ding Wan’er listened by the side, smiling quietly. She found the conversation interesting but felt even sadder inside, not expecting that Lin Feng had suffered so much during those years on the island. Although Lin Feng only told half of his story, even that half was enough to make one feel heartbroken, imagining that Lin Feng had really lived through life and death on the island. If it weren’t for Lin Feng’s incredible resilience, he probably would have died there...
The three old men hadn’t imagined that Lin Feng had gone through such days on the island; no wonder Lin Feng had become the person he was after returning. The heavens must have bestowed great responsibilities on such people. With such trials, Lin Feng had achieved what he had today, and even they couldn’t help but be moved, as Lin Feng’s survival and return under those circumstances were enough to prove that he was truly exceptional.
While they were chatting, Ding Bo and Zhou Ping came down from upstairs. They had just received a call from their in-laws saying that the two children had come over and chosen several auspicious wedding dates, and they wanted them to come down and discuss with the three old men and the two children to set the wedding date.
"Dad, Uncle Qian, Uncle Leng, Lin Feng, what are you guys talking about?" Ding Bo noticed that the three old men and two children were chatting happily on the sofa and, out of curiosity, asked a casual question. After asking, he led his wife Zhou Ping to the sofa and found a spot to sit.
And Zhou Ping walked directly to Ding Wan’er, took a good look at her daughter, and having missed her dearly after several months, her heart overflowed with joy seeing her daughter still as beautiful. She pulled Ding Wan’er aside to whisper.
"We weren’t discussing much, just some things from the past. We three old guys were reminiscing. Xiao Bo, weren’t you handling the guest list? What brings you down here?" asked Ding Yi casually, then raised his query, wondering why his son came downstairs if they were working on the guest list. Could there be something else?
"It’s like this, just now Lin Feng’s parents called, picked a few auspicious dates, and wanted us to discuss here to finalize the wedding date. Please take a look," answered Ding Bo quickly after hearing his father’s words, then handed the paper with the listed dates to his father. At this point, almost everything revolved around Lin Feng and Wan’er’s wedding. Other things were nearly settled, just waiting to finalize the wedding date. Lin Feng’s parents had come up with some options and wanted to confirm a specific date here.
Ding Yi took the paper, glanced at the few chosen dates, then passed the paper to Leng Hui, Qian Rong, and Lin Feng. After the three of them had looked at it, Ding Yi began to speak.
"Lin Feng, tell us, which date do you think is good?" Ding Yi felt that since it was Lin Feng and Wan’er’s wedding, it was natural to seek the opinions of the younger generation, so he asked Lin Feng first, wanting to know which date Lin Feng had in mind.
"I think all the dates are fine, any of them would work, but there’s one thing, the renovation of the new house is done, but the furniture won’t be here from Yuegang until tomorrow. Plus, with other arrangements, I think the date five days from now won’t work, it’s too soon. Other than that, any date is fine."
Lin Feng simply gave his opinion, calculated the time, and felt that the date five days later should be ruled out as there was some rush. He did not want any gaps in his and Wan’er’s wedding, and after thinking it over, he still felt that five days was not enough.
"Since that’s the case, let’s eliminate that date. I think the date nine days from now is good. Firstly, this date is a rare ’double-triple’ numerically; secondly, there is enough time to handle the remaining matters. Also, the other two dates are a bit too distant—one and a half months and one month away. Considering the current situation, the date nine days from now seems very appropriate. What do you think?"
Leng Hui thought carefully, studied the date nine days later, and then suggested having the wedding then because the date really was very auspicious with its rare numerical significance. The other dates would delay the wedding too much, and currently, this date seemed the most suitable.
"Yes, what Old Soldier says is good. Everything is almost ready, so there’s no need to delay too long. I think this date is acceptable." Qian Rong also expressed his view. Although he was not knowledgeable about such matters, he knew that nine days should be sufficient to arrange everything. Moreover, the main matters had already been nearly settled, which made this date quite suitable.
"I agree too; this date really is good. Bo, Lin Feng, what do you think?" Ding Yi also liked this date and expressed his stance before asking Lin Feng and his son. If neither of them objected, then the date would be fixed.
"Actually, I always thought this date was most suitable. I’ve discussed it with Zhou Ping too." Ding Bo saw that the date chosen by the three older gentlemen coincided with what he and his wife had selected, and immediately smiled, feeling very happy in his heart. He also did not want to delay the date too long, as returning to the country was not easy, and the business overseas could not be left unattended for long.
"I have no objections." Hearing the elders speaking so, Lin Feng naturally would not oppose, and since Lin Feng shared everyone’s sentiments, and since everything was ready, there was no need for further delays. This arrangement was also very good; everything would be handled well without any errors, so he agreed as well.
"Then it’s settled. We’ll have the wedding nine days from now. Bo, please notify the other family and ask them to prepare the invitations," Ding Yi, seeing no one had any objections, directly confirmed the date for the wedding. With this issue resolved, Lin Feng and Wan’er’s wedding was thoroughly finalized.
"Okay, I’ll notify Lin Feng’s parents shortly." Ding Bo responded immediately when he heard his father’s arrangement. With this matter decided, it was a major accomplishment for him, and his face showed a radiant smile.
"By the way, Lin Feng, have your parents finalized the venue for the wedding?"
"My parents say, given the large scale this time, it wouldn’t be suitable to do it in a hotel. So they plan to have it at a golf course not far from our villa, holding an open-air wedding. The venue is large enough to set up as many tables as needed."
"Yes, your parents are right; the number of guests this time is sure to be very high. Just from our side alone, we’ve noted nearly a hundred tables, not including some that might have been missed or those who hear the news and rush over."
"Then rough estimates put it at least over one hundred and fifty tables. Really, no hotel has such a large space. Your parents have thought this through well."
"At the golf course, how will they handle cooking for so many tables, and what about the service staff, security personnel, and other related issues? Are all these settled?"
"Yes, everything’s settled. The dining arrangements are all outsourced to three well-known hotels. As for other problems, responsibilities are also designated to these three establishments."
"Ha, when the time comes, I’ll have the Great South Gang send a batch of brothers over. I want to see who dares to make trouble."
"Old ruffian, stop spouting nonsense. If your guys show up, who’d dare to enter?"
"You all underestimate people. My brothers, under Duoduo’s management, are very civilized now. When the time comes, just find which security company to supply a few hundred uniforms, and there won’t be a hint of gang appearance."
"Old scholar, don’t say so; what old ruffian mentioned is pretty good. This idea is worth considering."
"Yes, if it’s really like that, it’s not a bad idea. Lin Feng, over so many years, my students are everywhere. Considering the scale of Wan’er’s wedding and how many guests might actually show up, I think we should prepare some spare banquet tables just in case. It wouldn’t be good if we run out."
"That’s a good idea, I’ll go back and talk with my family; let’s tentatively set it at two hundred and ten tables, then have the three hotels ready to add tables as needed. This arrangement should be about right."
"This should be about right."
"Also, have your parents discussed the wedding proceedings with you?"
"..."
