Chapter 90: Parting Ways
Ding Fengjun was obviously shocked by Zhang Jilai's decision. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
He didn't expect Zhang Jilai to be ready to get married in such a short period of time.
Ding Fengjun asked with a surprised face: "Have you packed up everything at home, and have you all purchased everything that should be purchased?"
Zhang Jilai scratched his head and said a little embarrassed: "My family's situation is also clear to the second brother. There's nothing to buy, and Xinyi also said that this wedding is a kind of ceremony, the simpler the better, it's really unnecessary to spend so much money, and the days to come will always have to live. ”
Ding Fengjun nodded and said, "Xinyi, this girl is really good, you have to be careful in your life." But then again, this wedding can't be too shabby, at least it has to be decent. ”
Zhang Jilai smiled and said: "Second brother, a few of us are highly educated, you can just host the wedding well, and I will handle other things." ”
Ding Fengjun thought for a while and said to Zhang Ji: "Brother, wait a minute." ”
After speaking, Ding Fengjun turned around and returned to the house, and after a while, he came out with a brand-new hundred-yuan bill in his hand, Ding Fengjun handed the money to Zhang Jilai and said, "Brother, you take this money, just take it as my share of money." ”
Zhang Jilai was stunned for a moment and hurriedly excused himself: "I can't ask for this money for my second brother, you have already helped me a lot, and your family is also in need of money, how can I ask for it." ”
Ding Fengjun said calmly: "If you give it to you, you will take it, I can tell you that this money is not given to you, nor is it lent to you." It's that the brother wants to get married, and I, the second brother, am happy to give you the money, if you don't accept this money, it means that you look down on your second brother, and the second brother won't even drink the wedding wine. ”
Zhang Jilai was still a little hesitant, he didn't know whether he should collect this money or not, after all, a hundred yuan was not a decimal number for him. Ding Fengjun didn't give Zhang Jilai much time to think, he took Zhang Jilai's hand and stuffed the money to Zhang Jilai.
Ding Fengjun said happily: "Okay, brother, I also received your good news, don't be in a daze here." Hurry back and do what you need to do. I'll be there on time the day after tomorrow. ”
Zhang Jilai was stunned, sighed twice, and turned to leave.
Zhang Fengrong walked out of the house, and he asked, "Why don't you use the money given by Ma Shiyu?"
Ding Fengjun smiled and said, "Because I still have to pay him back because of his money, we can't use any of that money." I didn't have anything to do with her, and my friendship wasn't that deep, and I was really uneasy to use her girl's money. ”
Zhang Fengrong nodded thoughtfully, she opened the topic and said, "Do you think Xinyi and her father will come the day after tomorrow?"
Ding Fengjun said with a determined face: "No." ”
Zhang Fengrong's heart chuckled and he said suspiciously: "Why? He is such a daughter, could it be that he is really so ruthless?"
Ding Fengjun smiled helplessly and said, "You haven't seen his father, who is addicted to gambling." looks like they like they are all about money. For a man like his father, he was not able to marry his daughter into the hands of a rich master, and it was already very good that he would die without being at home. ”
Zhang Fengrong had an ambiguous attitude towards Ding Fengjun's words, she felt that Ding Fengjun's words were a bit exaggerated, people were raised by their parents, and people's hearts were all flesh and blood, even if Luo Xinyi's father's heart was ruthless, it had been so long, this anger should have disappeared, but Zhang Fengrong did not express any opinions on this kind of ignorance of himself.
Zhang Jilai's wedding day is coming in a blink of an eye. Originally, Ding Fengjun was reluctant to let Zhang Fengrong follow, but there was no way Zhang Fengrong insisted on going, she had her own ideas, when Ding Fengjun said to him what are you going to do, Zhang Fengrong pouted and pretended to be angry and said: "Think about it, if there is no one to go here in Xinyi, then she is not too lonely, marriage is a big deal, and the mother's family will not be lively if they don't come to this wedding, besides, if there are really only a few of your brothers who go, you have a large group of men sitting together to eat, who will take care of the bride, you can't leave the bride aside." ”
Ding Fengjun said: "Everyone is so familiar, what's the point of sitting together and eating." ”
Zhang Fengrong showed a look of disgust and said: "Pull it down, how can you say that this is also the most important day for people, have you ever seen whose bride sat at a table with a large group of men on the first day." ”
Ding Fengjun twisted his brows and said: "Why do I think the taste of what you are talking is a little wrong, why is it so ugly, what is it called to accompany a large group of men to eat, or I don't want you to go with me, I'm afraid that you can't talk anywhere, and then make the two of you angry." ”
Zhang Fengrong said unconvinced: "It's up to you, listen to what you say." No matter what you say today, I'm going to decide. It should be regarded as Xinyi's mother's family, and Xinyi in the province is empty alone. ”
Ding Fengjun shook his head helplessly and said: "Go, it's okay to go, but let's talk about ugly things in front, where you don't have to say anything." ”
Zhang Fengrong smiled and blamed: "I know, let's go, don't delay other people's hours." ”
Zhang Jilai's wedding is not only simple, but also sad, except for the big red happy words pasted at the door, there is no festive-related items in the whole courtyard.
There were only four people who came to attend the wedding, namely Li Ergou, Zhang Tiedan, Ding Fengjun and Zhang Fengrong. The yard was cleaned, and there was a lonely jujube tree by the wall, swaying its broken branches weakly in the breeze. At the door of the hall is the only big object in the house, the table that Ding Fengjun has smashed apart, on the table are two empty wine bottles, each with a red candle in the bottle, placed on both sides of the table, and a bowl is placed in the middle of the two bottles, the bowl is filled with loose soil, and three pillars of incense are inserted in the soil. Directly in front of the bowl is also pasted with a small red happy word, so such a simple table setting makes people feel desolate.
Zhang Fengrong is a woman after all, and she couldn't help crying. Ding Fengjun hurriedly poked his arm and whispered, "Why are you crying on people's happy days?"
Zhang Fengrong hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve and said: "I'm happy, I'm happy to see that they are finally married." ”
Ding Fengjun pursed his lips and didn't say anything after hearing this, the two newcomers warmly entertained them, although there were not many people, they had to be hospitable, Zhang Jilai took out the only two benches at home and placed them in the courtyard, he came to the four people excitedly, and choked before he could say anything, because he didn't know who to let sit there.
Zhang Jilai scratched his head in embarrassment, looked at the four people and then looked at the lonely bench, and smirked there.
Zhang Fengrong couldn't help laughing and said: "Look, the eldest brother is still shy, we are all our own people, we don't need to talk so much about etiquette, I came today to act as Xinyi's mother's family, as for the three of them, just love it." ”
Zhang Fengrong's words alleviated the embarrassing atmosphere, Luo Xinyi looked at Zhang Fengrong gratefully and said, "Sister-in-law, thank you." ”
Zhang Fengrong stepped forward and grabbed Luo Xinyi's hand and said, "Silly sister and sister-in-law are polite." ”
Li Ergou interjected: "Aren't they all the eldest brothers as fathers, the second brother is the biggest among us, I think this stool should be sat by the second brother and sister-in-law." ”
Zhang Tiedan also coaxed on the side: "Yes, this position is the most suitable for the second brother and sister-in-law to sit." ”
Ding Fengjun stretched out his hand and tapped Zhang Tiedan's head and said, "Your kid has also become smarter." ”
There was another burst of laughter, and after laughing, Ding Fengjun said: "Brother Jilai, I think let's do the wedding first, and after the ceremony is over, let's sit down and have a good chat." ”
Zhang Jilai nodded and agreed. In the end, Li Ergou and Zhang Tiedan sat on the two benches, because their brothers' roles today were spectators. And Ding Fengjun is the principal, and Zhang Fengrong, as Luo Xinyi's mother's family, naturally has to accompany Luo Xinyi.
Ding Fengjun shouted: "Now the wedding begins." ”
Li Ergou and Zhang Tiedan's restless loud cheers added joy to this slightly depressed wedding, and Ding Fengjun shouted again: "Worship heaven and earth!"
Li Ergou coaxed: "The bride's waist didn't bend down and start over. ”
Zhang Tiedan was in charge of cheering, and Ding Fengjun shouted again: "Second worship Gaotang!"
Li Ergou coaxed again: "Did the groom exercise too much yesterday, why don't you bend your waist, do you want your brother to help." ”
Ding Fengjun finally shouted again: "Husband and wife worship each other!"
Li Ergou and Zhang Tiedan exchanged glances with each other, ran to the two of them with the momentum of covering their ears and stealing the bell, and when the two bent down to worship, they pressed the heads of the two people at the same time and pushed them, Luo Xinyi gorgeously threw herself into Zhang Jilai's arms. Li Ergou, the initiator, couldn't close his mouth happily.
Zhang Fengrong pretended to be angry and blamed: "It's not light or heavy, what should I do if I knock down my family Xinyi." ”
Zhang Tiedan said stupidly: "If she falls, won't Brother Zhang help her?"
Zhang Fengrong smiled and said, "Just you're smart." ”
Zhang Tiedan scratched his head slightly embarrassed.
"Send it to the cave room!" Ding Fengjun shouted, and a new wave of laughter and laughter ushered in the courtyard.
In the room, Luo Xinyi and Zhang Fengrong shook hands and sat down, and Luo Xinyi's tears were falling down.
Zhang Fengrong comforted: "Sister, what's wrong with you, you can't cry on your wedding days." ”
Luo Xinyi said softly: "Sister-in-law." I feel bad about this. ”
Zhang Fengrong patted Luo Xinyi's hand and said: "Sister-in-law knows, but sister, you have to think about it, since you have chosen to marry your stepbrother, you have to calm your mind, and you have to support each other in the future, you have to be ambitious, so that those who don't look down on you will regret it." ”
Luo Xinyi nodded and said in a choked voice: "I understand all these truths, but I don't understand, why is my father so ruthless, am I just a tool for him to make a fortune in his eyes?"
Zhang Fengrong said: "Since you can't figure it out, don't think about it, just look at everything and it's over." ”
Luo Xinyi leaned her head on Zhang Fengrong's shoulder and cried silently, Zhang Fengrong sighed helplessly and patted Luo Xinyi's hand, the room was silent, and it was indeed lively outside the room.
Four men sat at the table, there were a few simple dishes and beer on the table, a few people pushed their glasses and asked for a glass, it was very lively, Ding Fengjun took the lead and said: "Brother saw you two tie the knot, I am overjoyed in my heart." ”
Zhang Jilai said with a smile: "This is thanks to the second brother, without the help of the second brother, I would not be where I am today." ”
Ding Fengjun smiled and didn't speak, Li Ergou couldn't hold back the restlessness in his heart, and he said sour words from his mouth: "What kind of brother, this credit was all invited by the second brother alone, and all the things that our brothers did were thrown out by you?"
Zhang Jilai patted his head and said embarrassedly: "Oh, you see that I am happy and confused, these two brothers have also contributed a lot to me, how can I forget you, come on, let's toast you." ”
As he spoke, Zhang Jilai picked up the wine glass, and Zhang Tiedan said slowly: "Wait a minute." ”
As soon as his words came out, several people focused their eyes on him, and Zhang Tiedan said slowly: "I heard people at the wine table say that if someone does something wrong or says the wrong thing, then this person will have to punish himself with three glasses, I have only heard of this and I have never seen it." ”
As he spoke, Zhang Tiedan twisted his face to Li Ergou and asked with an innocent look, "Brother, is there such a thing?"
Li Ergou received the message from Zhang Tiedan's eyes, and he immediately became active and said: "Yes, yes, what Tie Dan said is right, next brother, you have to punish yourself three cups first." ”
Zhang Jilai was a little hesitant, his alcohol consumption has never been good, if he drank three glasses in a row, he would not be able to lie on the table unconscious. Zhang Jilai sent the distress signal to Ding Fengjun, Ding Fengjun pretended not to see it, turned his head to look to the side, Zhang Jilai really had no tricks, he had to bite the bullet and said: "Brothers, don't embarrass me, my alcohol is not good, how can I drink three glasses." ”
Saying that, Zhang Ji looked at Ding Fengjun and said, "Second brother, help me say a word." ”
Ding Fengjun heard Zhang Jilai call him, and after suddenly waking up and moving, he spread his hands and said, "Brother, I can help you with other things, but I'm afraid this won't work." Today is your wedding, you are the host here, no matter how you say it, you have to make the guests happy. ”
Listening to what Ding Fengjun said, Zhang Jilai suddenly lost his previous vitality like a deflated ball, while Li Ergou and Zhang Tiedan became even more unscrupulous, the two urged Zhang Jilai to drink the wine quickly, Zhang Jilai, who was forced to be helpless, had to close his eyes, drank three cups in a row, stuck out his tongue, and drank tea.
"Okay, good amount of wine!" Li Ergou clapped his palms and shouted loudly, and there was another sound of pushing the cup and asking for the cup, and there was only leftover food on the table, and the four of them were already full of wine and food.
Ding Fengjun took a sip of water and rinsed his mouth, and said, "Brothers, I'm going to get down to business and want to hear your opinions." Li Ergou replied with a serious face: "Second brother, you say, let's all listen." ”
Ding Fengjun nodded and said steadily: "The lifelong affairs of the next brother have been resolved, and it is time to consider where we should go." ”
Zhang Jilai asked, "What is the opinion of the second brother?"
Ding Fengjun said thoughtfully: "I don't know if you are willing to go back to Director Ye with me again." ”
As soon as Ding Fengjun's words came out, the three of them fell silent.
Ding Fengjun examined them one by one, and he also had the answer in his heart.
"If you don't want to go, I won't force it, anyway, it's the same to make money there. I don't want anything else but that you'll be well. Get a decent job. Don't do any more shady petty theft. ”
Zhang Jilai thought for a while and said: "Second brother, it's not that I don't want to go with you, you see that I just got married, I don't feel at ease if I throw Xinyi at home, and you know Xinyi's father......" Before Zhang Jilai's words were finished, Ding Fengjun interrupted him and said: "Brother, you don't need to say it, I understand your troubles." ”
Li Ergou said with a little embarrassment: "Second brother, I'm afraid our brothers can't go, Tie Dan always says that we are destined to fight each other with you, I didn't have anything to worry about before, but now our brothers are not young, I really don't want Tie Dan to say what he said to happen in reality, then I will feel sorry for him." I'm just such a relative, although he is a little stupid, but for me to live is a kind of belief to rely on. I don't want to lose that bit of faith. ”
Ding Fengjun nodded, he looked at Zhang Tiedan, since Ding Fengjun talked about going back to the kiln factory, Zhang Tiedan's expression has been in a state of nervousness. At this moment, Zhang Tiedan was even more stunned, looking in a trance, as if he was afraid of something.
Ding Fengjun sighed and said: "The road in the future will depend on you, I hope my brothers are all well, I don't want to see any of you go the wrong way, then I will be very heartbroken!"
