Chapter 134: Someone Else's Wedding (Part 1)
After returning from the United States, Ren Pingsheng rushed to Donglai City, Qilu Province.
The reason is very simple, Cheng Zhi is getting married, and the bride is, of course, his girlfriend Zeng Rui in college.
If this wedding is held a year later, Ren Pingsheng will basically not show up, and at most give the newlyweds a heavy gift.
Because Ren Pingsheng at that time must have become a rising star in the domestic business world, it is somewhat inappropriate to appear on this occasion again.
According to the usual practice, the friendship in college can only last until one year after graduation at most, and beyond this timeline, everyone finds their rightful place in their own environment, and there are very few people who still miss their college days.
Ren Pingsheng is in the middle of this stage, and Cheng Zhi is his roommate in dormitory 107 when he was in college, Zeng Rui got along with him quite well when he was in school, so it makes sense that he has to go.
Moreover, Ren Pingsheng's current career has not really developed, so he took this opportunity to get together with his old classmates to see if they had taken the same path of life as in his previous life, and it was also a matter of Ren Pingsheng's heart.
Just this time, there will be no such opportunity in the future, and there will be no such possibility.
Therefore, Ren Pingsheng was crowded among a bunch of college classmates, giggling together to welcome the bride's door.
……
Cheng Zhi's family is in a farmhouse compound in the countryside of Donglai City, the newly built four-story brick house is whitewashed inside and out, and two red lights are hung at the gate, pasted with happy couplets, and colored flags are planted.
Gas stoves, kitchen counters, tables and chairs were brought in early in the yard, and a large greenhouse was set up with plastic sheets, and a team of chefs invited from the township were working hard to clean, sort, cut and cook the dishes.
There was a commotion at the door, and the convoy to welcome the bride returned, Ren Pingsheng didn't drive this time, so he didn't participate in the kissing activity.
According to the convention, the bride's car is more high-end than the family car, although Cheng Zhi's family is not very rich, but in the countryside is quite solid, this time the bride sat in a black Audi A8L, the other vehicles are black Audi A6L.
Of course, most of these vehicles were rented, and none of the college classmates who came to the wedding today drove themselves.
In the sound of colorful firecrackers, when the bride wearing a red traditional robe and a red head covered walked down from the back row of the black Audi A8L, a male elder was already holding a bamboo plaque to cover her head, indicating that the bride is the biggest today, but the biggest cannot be bigger than the sky.
Zeng Rui was supported by the two best female classmates in the class, and walked into the courtyard on the red carpet laid on the ground.
When crossing the threshold, the face of the man's elders darkened suddenly, it turned out that Zeng Rui stepped on his left foot first, which is different from the traditional rules of "male left and female right", according to local customs, this is very unlucky.
Although this little episode happened, the brazier crossing and stepping on the tiles went smoothly afterwards.
The next process is nothing more than worshipping heaven and earth, worshipping the high hall, worshipping husband and wife, etc., Cheng Zhi's parents are simple and honest farmers, Zeng Rui's side only came to the mother and two aunts, their expressions did not look very happy, and they were incompatible with the atmosphere of the wedding.
After the visit, the bride wants to call her father-in-law and mother-in-law in public, Zeng Rui already has a good voice, her character is very arrogant and not afraid of life, calling her in-laws loud and sweet, Cheng Zhi's parents are very happy to hear it, and the reward for the new daughter-in-law is also very rich.
According to the old custom, the bride had to enter the cave room after worshipping and could not come out until after night, and before that, only female friends could enter the cave room, and men were not allowed to enter.
However, now that these customs have been reformed, Zeng Rui is also a new-age woman with a university education, so naturally she can't be constrained by these rules, so when the banquet is halfway through, she comes out in a dress to toast.
I have to say that Zeng Rui, who is wearing a red traditional dress, is particularly beautiful tonight, and standing with Cheng Zhi, who was known as a beautiful man in school, is really a talented and beautiful match.
Among so many people here, only Ren Pingsheng may know that Zeng Rui and Cheng Zhi can come to this day and complete this wedding is a very low probability.
In his previous life, Cheng Zhi returned to his hometown Donglai to look for a job after graduation, Zeng Rui was admitted to Pengcheng City, Jiangning Province, and the two maintained a long-distance relationship for three years, and finally reluctantly chose to break up, and did not stand together as firmly as today.
Although they didn't get along with themselves in school, and he won't have much intersection with them in the future, Ren Pingsheng is still happy about their union.
Rebirth was originally an attempt to realize a dream, Ren Pingsheng did not have a perfect dream, but it was fulfilled in other people, which was also a relief for him.
Because it was the first class reunion after graduation, Cheng Zhi and Zeng Rui were the only couple in the class who came together, and the students from Class 3 of the 02 class came a lot, and of course the roommates from the 107 dormitory came.
Lin Lisong, who hadn't seen him for a few days, was still sitting silently, he only said hello to Ren Pingsheng briefly, and didn't say much, it seems that the estrangement between the two after the last quarrel is still there.
Zhang Wenwu arrived later than Ren Pingsheng, after being reprimanded by Ren Pingsheng last time because of Luo Yunxiang's matter, he has always maintained caution and restraint, and he did not dare to talk to Ren Pingsheng in private, today he looks even worse, and the smile that was always on his face in the past is gone.
Helian was tall, and his granite-like head could be seen everywhere. As the groom's countryman and best man, he was busy planning things everywhere and helped the bride and groom block a lot of wine.
Another active person in the audience, of course, is the old squad leader Chang Yuan. He likes to get involved in all the big and small things between his classmates and takes the initiative to help.
He was the first among his classmates to come, and he had been staying at Cheng Zhi's house for 2 days, and he went to pick up his relatives that day, except for Helian Ji, it was him.
He is the loudest and the most talking.
……
Ren Pingsheng sat in a bunch of classmates, listening to the content of their conversation, feeling quite bored.
The most girls talk about is each other's gossip, who broke up again, who found a new boyfriend, who got back together......
The boys talked about it more practically, everyone was talking about work, talking about whose unit was good and whose unit was poor.
The students who stayed in the first-tier cities were obviously more confident, spoke the loudest, and felt that they had a good future.
The students who returned to their hometowns to work are different, some of them are in the big cities and have no choice but to return to their hometowns, so they have no confidence to speak, and their voices are very small; some of them are related to their families in the local area, and their work is arranged by their families.
For these topics, Ren Pingsheng basically does not participate in them, because the level they are at and the world they understand are too far away from themselves.
Today's Ren Pingsheng is no longer yesterday's Ren Pingsheng, nor is it Ren Pingsheng in his previous life, whether it is in terms of personal wealth, career development, or vision, he has long been out of the circle where these classmates are.
And his college classmates are still in their original circle, their eyes are only limited to the small circles around them, like small fish and shrimp swimming in the shallow sea, they can't feel the undercurrent surging at the bottom of the sea, and they don't know the big waves and storms brewing in the distance.
But this is also normal, in just over half a year, these students cannot make much progress in their lives and careers, after all, everyone is mortal, not like Ren Pingsheng who came through rebirth.
Of course, there are still changes.
After the influence of society, the boys have generally taken off the shyness of the campus, most of them have begun to smoke, and their tone of speech has become sophisticated, and they have begun to take on the posture of social people.
The girls are much more beautiful than when they were in school, mainly thanks to the role of makeup, and most of the girls on campus without makeup finally understand the role of makeup and clothing.
But no matter the tone of the boys or the makeup of the girls, most of the students still have the freshness of the campus, not so mature, not so social.
Although they are already running into the adult world, they have not yet been completely impregnated by the world.
Compared with the 10th anniversary party in his previous life, Ren Pingsheng prefers his classmates at this time.
