Chapter 154: A Trip to Manhattan
Soon after, with the efforts of Yinglong and Wenxue, the fourth branch of Yunshui Time opened as scheduled, and the new store went relatively smoothly under their painstaking operation.
Wen Xue invited her younger brother to come over and become the manager of the fourth branch, and under the guidance of Yinglong and Wen Xue, her younger brother grew up quickly and managed the fourth branch in an orderly manner.
Yinglong and Wenxue already had a plan, planning to travel abroad once and relax when the Yunshui time was going smoothly.
At the moment, everything seems to be going well, and their long-planned trip should be realized.
Yinglong booked a ticket in advance, a total of three, he, Wenxue and Xiao Ruirui.
When Wenxue packed up the family of three, they embarked on a journey.
This time I went to the United States and was going to travel to Manhattan.
When they arrived in New York, Yinglong's friend Emin brought his wife to meet them at the airport.
Emin and Qiu Mei had been working in a New York company earlier, they had lived in New York for a long time, and now they have a lovely daughter named Catherine in English.
After Yinglong and the others finished eating at a Chinese restaurant, Emin took Yinglong and his family to their home in Manhattan's Chinatown to rest, preparing to take them to New York City the next day.
The next day, they toured the Empire State Building and Broadway, and saw the world-famous building, the Empire State Building, and stood on the observation deck at the top of the Empire State Building to almost have an unobstructed view of downtown New York.
The Empire State Building is so high that when Yinglong stands on the observation deck, he feels like a soaring bird, looking at the car on the ground that is slowly crawling like an ant, and his heart beats.
Of course, they also saw the famous opera "Romeo and Juliet" on Broadway.
In the days that followed, Emin took the Yinglong family on a tour of the famous Wall Street and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Here, Yinglong and Wenxue experienced a unique cultural atmosphere and customs.
Everything seemed so new and curious, and these places were an eye-opener for Yinglong and Wenxue.
During dinner, Ai Ming asked Yinglong curiously, "Hey, I said old friend, when will you two have a wedding?"
Yinglong glanced at Wen Xue, Wen Xue was looking at Yinglong with a smile, Yinglong said, "We are planning to find an appropriate time to officially get married after returning to China!"
Ai Ming smiled: "If you want to get married, you have to get married as soon as possible, see that the bride is so beautiful, don't be snatched away by others!"
Yinglong smiled: "Our relationship is not ordinary, Wenxue will not leave me!"
After speaking, Yinglong stretched out his arm and hugged Wen Xue's shoulder, Wen Xue sat next to her and looked at Yinglong with a smile.
Ai Ming said: "The two of you have been tested for a long time, unlike some people nowadays, who will disperse if they disagree. Take me and Qiu Mei as an example, we have also gone all the way, ups and downs, and it has not been easy until now!"
Qiu Mei couldn't help but say: "Our Ai Ming has suffered a lot, and he can be regarded as an out-and-out man, I think it was really hard to say it back then." ”
Ai Ming said: "Where, in order to make a living, you have to be like this, how can you easily mix up a fame!"
Yinglong was deeply touched: "Yes, I think about how we came here in the first place, do you remember the time when we drank by the river? At that time, the two of us were still young people, and we didn't understand anything!"
Emin remembered what they had said in the past, and couldn't help but laugh with Yinglong.
Later, Ai Ming took Yinglong and Wenxue to visit the riverside cathedral.
In the church they saw the world's largest carillon and couldn't help but marvel at it, as well as the frescoes.
When they think of the scene in the movie when Westerners get married in the church, they can't help but feel that the atmosphere of the church is somewhat unique.
Yinglong suddenly had a thought: "Haven't Wenxue and I not yet held a wedding ceremony, how nice it would be if we could hold a wedding ceremony here!"
When he saw the image of the angel in the church, Yinglong couldn't help but think of the scene he saw in his dream, and then looked at Wen Xue who was watching everything around him with wide eyes, and couldn't help but realize that Wen Xue was still so cute, didn't she accompany him like an angel on earth?
If he could announce his marriage to this lovely lady in church, it would probably be something they would never forget.
So Yinglong and Ai Ming whispered for a while, Ai Ming began to feel very surprised, but he looked at Wen Xue, and then looked at Yinglong's sincere eyes and said, "Dude, seeing that you are so sincere, I will ask the priest, I hope he can agree to your unexpected request!"
Emin then went to the priest and explained his intentions, telling him that his friend wanted to have a simple marriage ceremony with the angel of his dreams, and that he wondered if the priest would be able to fulfill their little request.
When the priest heard this, he smiled kindly, and he muttered for a moment and told Amin that there were many right men and women who had come here to get married, and that he had no choice but to meet the demands of these two friends who had come from afar, but he was not prepared for it, so he had to keep everything simple.
Then Qiu Mei drove and borrowed a wedding dress for Wen Xue.
The priest prepared for a while, stood on the stage and read the Bible for a while, and then prepared to hand the ring on the Bible to Yinglong and Wenxue who were standing in front of the altar.
At this time, Ai Ming and Qiu Mei acted as the best men and bridesmaids of Yinglong and Wenxue, while the lovely Catherine and Little Ruirui acted as their little flower girls.
They accompanied Yinglong and Wenxue with smiles, silently blessing the couple.
Xiao Ruirui looked at his father and Aunt Wenxue happily, although he still couldn't understand what the priest said, but he knew that this was a solemn and sacred ceremony for his father and Aunt Wenxue.
When the priest asked them, "Do you want this woman to be your wife, to marry her, to love her, to take care of her, to respect her, to accept her, to be faithful to her until the end of your life, whether she is sick or healthy, or for any other reason?"
"Do you want this man to be your husband, to be betrothed to him, to love him, to care for him, to respect him, to accept him, to be faithful to him forever until the end of his life, whether he is sick or healthy, or for any other reason?"
Yinglong and Wenxue said the familiar words in front of the priest: "I do!"
Then solemnly helped the other party put on the ring.
The priest blessed them in a loud voice: "Father and Son and Holy Spirit are above, bless you, bless you and grant you great grace; Our Lord Grace is with you. ”
And sprinkled it with holy water, and then closed the Bible.
Yinglong hugged and kissed Wenxue with a smile, Wenxue also hugged Yinglong warmly, Wenxue's eyes were full of tears and cried with joy, she smiled happily in Yinglong's arms.
Wen Xue couldn't imagine that Yinglong would have a unique and sacred wedding with her in a foreign country, and she was thrilled about it.
Although there were only six of them in this wedding except for the priest, this scene has been preserved in the memories of Yinglong and Wenxue until ancient times.
They will never forget the wedding ceremony during their trip to Manhattan.
It is here that Yinglong marries Wenxue, the angel of his dreams, and the kind priest and his friend Ai Ming's family, as well as their son Xiao Yingrui, witness their hard-won love destiny.
Soon, Yinglong and Wenxue left Manhattan with their son Xiao Yingrui and returned home.
Yinglong remembered on the plane that Wen Xue had prepared a cup of Manhattan for him that surprised him, making him see Wen Xue's ice and snow intelligence for the first time.
Then they drank karaoke together in the Manhattan box of the song hall, and after that, because Wenxue was too strong to drink, Yinglong sent her home alone, and in Wenxue's house, Yinglong looked at the drunken and charming Wenxue, and couldn't help but be moved.
However, at that time, he could only suppress the impulse in his heart and leave Wenxue. And now, this angelic girl came to his side and stayed with him.
Yinglong no longer wants to suppress the impulse in his heart to face this beautiful woman. It was Wenxue who brought him hope and pulled him out of the bottom of his life.
He was grateful to Wenxue, so he specially chose Manhattan as a destination for foreign travel this time.
The name Manhattan has a special meaning to Yinglong and Wenxue.
Holding a unique marriage ceremony here can be said to be unforgettable and significant for them.
Although the ceremony was not prepared in advance, it was successfully completed under the guidance of a kind priest.
Wen Xue never expected that Yinglong would come up with such a peculiar idea and hold a wedding for them here, and they will become husband and wife ever since.
They solemnly swore before the priest that they would remain faithful to each other henceforth, whether sick or healthy, poor or rich, until they left this world.
When they exchanged wedding rings, Yinglong put on the glittering ruby ring for Wenxue, and Wenxue put on a ring with a golden dragon coiled on the ring for Yinglong.
Although this pair of rings may not conform to the traditional concept of Westerners, Yinglong and Wenxue are Oriental, and this pair of rings is completely in line with Oriental philosophy.
Perhaps the ruby in the ring represents their eternal love, and the dragon represents the surname of the young dragon, which is exactly what they want.
After returning home, they continued to be busy with work, and with each other's care, life was enjoyable.
Soon after, they welcomed a little angel in their lives - their daughter.
Yinglong and Wenxue greeted the arrival of this child almost with surprise.
Maybe this little baby embodies the essence of Yinglong and Wenxue, and she is very much like the image of a little angel in the minds of her parents.
The child had the same thick black hair as his mother, eyes as big as water grapes, and a ruddy and small mouth like Wen Xue.
The skin of the whole body is white and delicate, even if it is a girl, but the long arms and calves are very similar to those of Yinglong.
After discussion, Yinglong and Wenxue chose a name for this lovely child: Yingxue.
The name is taken from the two words in the names of Yinglong and Wenxue, which is to commemorate their hard-won love and marriage.
Xiao Yingrui looked at her little sister curiously, and liked this child's innocence and cuteness very much.
Since then, there has been another playmate in Xiao Yingrui's life, although Yingxue is still young, but when she saw Yingrui carefully stroking her little hands and feet, she couldn't help but look at Xiao Yingrui with a smile.
And Ying Rui is always happy to take the little rattle to tease Cher.
Wen Xue is very happy that Xiao Yingrui likes this sister very much, and she often cooks some of Yingrui's favorite meat and vegetarian dishes to satisfy the little guy's appetite.
Of course, Wenxue is a competent mother, whether it is Xiao Xue'er or Xiao Yingrui, she treats them equally, after all, these are all Yinglong's children, and they are also relatives who must go through together in their lives.
