Chapter 29: Wedding
Wang Licheng asked Chen Derong and Mazi to borrow ten
bicycles that looked relatively new, and formed a bicycle pick-up team with his
bicycles.
In this day and age, this kind of kissing is popular. Of
course, if possible, a car or a van will be used. The workers and peasants
still use bicycles.
A few years ago, Wang Licheng went to Jiangcheng to inquire
about some wedding matters, and Jiangcheng already had a wedding photo studio.
The consultation was in winter, and the wine was also held in winter. Whether
it was a wedding photo shoot or a wine, it was too cold, and they were too busy
during that time.
Wang Licheng bought the latest ladies' red woolen coat, and
he wore the suit that Xiao Hongyan gave him. Haven't worn it yet, only tried it
on my birthday. The big red tie is new.
He also found a photography team specializing in filming
weddings, 500 Yuan a day for photography. Because they wanted to record in
Pucheng, the other party also increased the price by 100 Yuan; a total of 600 Yuan,
including two videotapes, two people came here, arrived on the ninth night of
the first lunar month, and left on the tenth night of the lunar New Year.
To be honest, Wang Licheng didn’t even have a video recorder
at home, and he didn’t take the video recorder into consideration when he was
buying appliances before.
On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Wang Licheng got
up at five in the morning, and the eldest sister invited friends from the
theater to come over to give him makeup. Because he was busy years ago, he
never had time for a haircut, and his bangs were a bit long. The eldest sister
who gave him makeup directly divided his bangs into threes and sevens; pretty
and festive.
The eldest sister has also been saying that his hairstyle is
good-looking. He has looked in the mirror himself, and he is dead. It might be
better if I dyed it a different color, so my face is black with three or seven
points, and it blows fluffy, with only one word "ugly".
With a white shirt, a big red tie, a black suit, and a
plastic flower on his chest, he couldn't bear to look at himself.
He regretted hiring the camera crew. The camera team was on
the sidelines from the moment Wang Licheng put on makeup.
The cycling team set off from Wang Licheng's house at 7:30
and had to pick up the bride before 9:00.
A few brothers-in-law led the way in front, two of the
camera team rode a bicycle and the other sat in the back to record, and Wang
Licheng's eleven-member team followed behind the camera team.
Wang Licheng is Chen Derong in the left rear and Mazi in the
right rear. The two people's bicycle baskets were full of candy, Wang Licheng's
meaning, when he received the bride on the way back, Chen Derong and Mazi were
responsible for handing out wedding candy to the crowd watching the fun, making
it a festive and lively scene.
The convoy went all the way to the boiler factory compound,
and everyone who came to congratulate everyone had a red envelope with 50 cents
in it.
When they got to the bride's downstairs, the men and women
of her parents' family were stopping at the bottom. Wang Licheng saw this scene
and ordered Chen Derong and Mazi to send a red envelope. This time it was one Yuan
and two Yuan.
They had rehearsed the various situations they would
encounter when picking up relatives at home. Liu Fengzhen prepared 30 such red
envelopes for him alone. Those who took the red envelopes gave way to the
groom. Wang Licheng and his party easily went up to the second floor. Xiao
Jianjun and Xiao Jiandang were guarding the door.
"Licheng, Dad has spoken, so I can't let you in
easily." "Brother-in-law, come."
Brother-in-law Wu Li'an stepped forward and took out twenty
red envelopes from his jacket pocket, ten in each hand, ten for each of Xiao
Jianjun and Xiao Jiandang . When the two received the red envelopes, the second
brother-in-law and the third brother-in-law pulled one person away, pulled the
two away from the gate, and blocked their mouths.
Wang Licheng pretended that Xiao Jiandang knocked on the
door, and Chen Derong and Mazi rushed out from behind Wang Licheng at the
moment when the person in the room twisted the door lock and pushed open the
door with force. Immediately afterwards, Chen Derong and Mazi took out a small
red envelope and threw it into the air. Wang Licheng took advantage of the
chaos to stand out and came to the door of the bride's room.
There was no one guarding the door, so they should all go to
grab the red envelopes. Wang Licheng knocked on the door to let the people
inside open the door while stuffing red envelopes into the cracks of the door.
The red envelopes on him were all ten Yuan, and Liu Fengzhen prepared 10 for
him, and he stuffed them all.
"Open the door, open the door, open the door, the red envelopes
are all for you." The group of relatives and friends who came with Wang
Licheng also stood out and stood behind Wang Licheng around him.
A dozen people spoke at the same time under the command of
the elder brother-in-law Wu Lian.
"Don't open the door and hit the door again." As soon
as the voice fell, the door lock rang and the door opened. The person inside
took the red envelope and didn't want to make any more noise. Hearing the man's
voice, he immediately opened the door.
The three brothers-in-law embraced Wang Licheng into the
room, Xiao Hongyan sat on the bed, the room was full of people, and the elder
sister-in-law took the lead in coaxing Wang Licheng to find the bride's shoes. According
to the old custom, the groom must find the bride's wedding shoes and put them
on for the bride before picking up the bride.
Wang Licheng looked at Xiao Hongyan, Xiao Hongyan winked at
him, Wang Licheng fell on the ground and got under the bed to find a shoe.
"Licheng, there is another one here." Second
brother-in-law Yang Jianxiong found another one in the gap between the wardrobe
and the wall. He saw that there were too many people standing in this corner,
and the bride's sister-in-law gave them a wink. He thought it was strange. He
didn't expect shoes to be hidden here.
Wang Licheng put on Xiao Hongyan's shoes, carried her and
left, Chen Derong and Mazi scattered red envelopes in the back, and the three
brothers-in-law protected Wang Licheng to go downstairs.
The bride can't fall to the ground before she gets married.
He moved Xiao Hongyan from the back to the front and hugged him. His
brother-in-law helped him stabilize the bicycle. Wang Licheng hugged Xiao
Hongyan and sat on the back seat of the bicycle.
The 11-person team rode around the Pucheng area. Chen Derong
and Mazi would throw wedding candy at passersby when there was a crowd.
The camera team has been following them to record, and there
are many people watching the fun.
It was ten o'clock when the groom took the bride home. Wang
Licheng carried Xiao Hongyan back to the new room and went downstairs to
entertain guests. Those who come to the house are all neighbors or relatives
who are close to each other, and some distant relatives also come directly to
the house.
The brothers-in-law did not accompany Wang Licheng to
surround Pucheng. They came back first with the bride's bridesmaids. There are
still many things at home for them to help.
As the bride's bridesmaid and friend, Yuanzi watched
helplessly as the bride was carried away by the groom and she was left behind.
It was the bride's sister-in-law who asked the groom's officer to take her to
the groom's house.
Yuanzi stayed with several of Wang Licheng's sisters after
he came, and when the bride got married, Wang Chunmei, Wang Licheng's eldest
sister, took the bridesmaids to accompany the bride.
Yuanzi stayed in Jiangcheng after graduating from
university, rarely returned to Pucheng, and did not meet much with Xiao
Hongyan. Knowing that her best friend was getting married this time, she took a
leave of absence.
This is the groom...
"Hongyan, is he the man we saw at the entrance of the
movie theater before the college entrance examination?" Yuanzi only felt
familiar when she saw Wang Licheng at Xiao Hongyan's house. She remembered when
he carried Xiao Hongyan upstairs just now. Where have you seen this man?
"Well, it's him." Xiao Hongyan didn't expect Yuanzi
to have such a good memory, it's been so long.
It was really him. At that time, he was buying tickets to
watch a movie with a young woman, and the two of them acted very closely. Xiao
Hongyan started to behave abnormally when she saw them, and later even became
abnormal in the college entrance examination.
"Is it because of him that you didn't do well in the
college entrance examination?" She still remembered the scene at that
time. Wang Li has grown up well, and the women around him are relatively
average, so she took a few more glances. She could be sure that the woman was
his object.
"Yuanzi, can you help me keep this matter a
secret?" Dad was already dissatisfied with Wang Licheng, if they found out
about it...
"Really, he's the one? What about you?" Although
the woman looked Not worthy of Wang Licheng, that is also the object, and that
was more than four years ago, why is she married to Xiao Hongyan now.
Her friend may have liked him a long time ago, or she would
not have missed the opportunity to go to college because she saw him and his
partner watching a movie together and smashed the college entrance examination.
Love is a terrible thing, but fortunately she doesn't like anyone.
"That woman was married and had children. I saw her on
the street the year before with her child, and I thought they were married and
even had children." She was very sad at the time, and she cried a lot when
she returned home.
Xiao Hongyan told her good friend Yuanzi what happened after
she met Wang Licheng.
"You've got what you want now. After all, it's because
you have a fate, and you're still together after going around." She was
happy for her friend to be able to marry the person she wanted to marry, but
she missed university because of it. I hope my friends will not regret it in
the future.
Yuanzi chatted with Xiao Hongyan in the new house. From time
to time, relatives on the man’s side brought children to see the bride, and Yuanzi
was responsible for serving tea and water to the red envelopes.
There are fruit bowls and water bottles in the room. The
fruit bowl was filled with small snacks that Xiao Hongyan usually likes to eat,
which Wang Licheng specially prepared for her. There are many things in it that
Yuanzi has never eaten in Jiangcheng. It seems that this man is very good to
his friends.
Although Yuanzi has never talked about feelings, she also
knows that the only way to be happy with each other is to last for a long time.
She was really worried that her friend was shaved and hot.
Wang Licheng greeted the guests downstairs. Some relatives
who had never seen him came over to have a drink and came directly to his
house. Liu Fengzhen introduced him one by one.
At eleven o'clock, the sisters, sisters and husbands greeted
the guests to go to the restaurant for a drink. Liu Fengzhen and Wang Licheng
and Xiao Hongyan left last.
Liu Fengzhen wanted to stay and lock the door. Wang Licheng
asked Chen Derong to prepare white wine mixed with water for him. In today's
battle, he might not be able to drink three tables.
After finishing this, Liu Fengzhen locked the door and the
six of them went out together.
Wang Licheng carried Xiao Hongyan, Chen Derong carried Yuanzi,
and Mazi carried Liu Fengzhen.
Cycling is faster than walking. When they arrived at the
house, the guests hadn't arrived yet, but there were quite a few people from
the bride's side.
Xiao Daxing was chatting with old friends, and when he saw
Wang Licheng and Xiao Hongyan coming, he beckoned them to come and introduce
them to old friends.
The young couple laughed, one uncle called one after
another, and the friends of Daxing Guang probably had a table.
Among them, the man who told Xiao Daxing that the man with
good skin was unreliable had a strange expression. He glanced at Xiao Daxing
and then at Wang Licheng.
The groom's appearance is really good, and it looks like a
good match with Xiao Daxing's daughter, but I don't know if Xiao Daxing has
kept in mind what he said. They are old friends for ten or twenty years,
because it is not good to have a gap in this matter.
