章 278: The Brief Respite

Outside the church, the factory workers waved their hats in welcoming gestures, some cheered, others whistled, and a few even shed happy tears. The atmosphere was contagious with joy as the news of Jonathan and Caroline's marriage spread throughout the company town.

In the midst of the celebration, the factory workers formed a makeshift parade, eager to show their support for the newlyweds. Led by the factory foreman, they marched through the streets with banners and flags, their footsteps synchronized and their voices raised in unison.

The townspeople, drawn by the lively spectacle, poured out of their homes and shops to join the procession. Children skipped alongside, their laughter echoing through the air. The townsfolk clapped and cheered, caught up in the infectious merriment.
