Chapter 41: The Chaotic Wedding Scene

I was going to take a leave of absence from my employer on Friday afternoon and go to my mother-in-law's house to help prepare for my brother-in-law's wedding, but after receiving my mother-in-law's order not to allow me to meet the bride on the wedding day, I changed my mind and chose to organize my files at the unit. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

In fact, my work requires overtime, the last time the bureau held a global work meeting, the director specially reminded me, saying that next month the archives bureau will come to accept our unit's archives management level 2 standard work, and gave me an order: must meet the standard! I have repeatedly asked the director to add another staff member to the archives, but each time the director rejected me on the grounds that the county did not increase the number of personnel in the bureau. I had no choice but to bury myself in sorting out alone, and the backlog of files to be sorted out on the desk was often several feet high, which made me feel pressured, and I was afraid that I would be "delegated" again if I couldn't complete the task. Others keep going up, I'm falling all the time, how embarrassing?! Sometimes, I wanted to quit my job and leave, but I thought that if I threw away this job, I would run around for life like Liu Jia, so I persevered.

When it was almost time to get off work on Friday afternoon, I called Lu Tao and asked him to go to the kindergarten to pick Yangyang back, telling him that I had to work overtime at night and go back two hours late. Usually I don't like to work overtime, but today's determination to work overtime is particularly great, maybe it's a way to escape from the psychology, I'm a hoodoo that is set to be in harmony with the bride's five elements, and I don't want to dangle in front of my mother-in-law, isn't that boring?

In addition to me, Xiao Liu in the bureau office and Xue Li, the accountant in the finance office, were also working overtime, and Deputy Director Wang accompanied us. The four of us worked overtime until 8 o'clock in the evening, and Deputy Director Wang proposed that the AA system go out to eat, saying that a new noodle restaurant had opened on the street, which was very distinctive. When we followed Deputy Director Wang to this special noodle restaurant, we saw the words "country people" written on the signboard, which mainly sells all kinds of multigrain noodles, including sorghum noodles and tadpoles, buckwheat cold noodles, steamed noodles and so on, which is very hometown-flavored. My favorite thing is to eat sorghum noodles and tadpoles, topped with tomato sauce, which is even more delicious.

I rarely go out with my colleagues to have fun, I know it's not good for me to get closer to my colleagues, but I really don't have time, I have to go home to take care of the children after work every day, so I can't take the children outside to play, right?

In fact, I have been worried about Yangyang during the meal, I don't know if he will look for me, whether he will cry, so this meal is not at ease, although I have been talking and laughing with my colleagues on the surface, looking very relaxed. It was nearly nine o'clock before I hurriedly returned home from the hotel, and after opening the door and entering the house, I didn't see Lu Tao and his son, so I called my mother-in-law's house, and they were there.

"Why are you home so late? Yangyang has been crying looking for you! Lu Tao had a somewhat reproachful tone on the phone.

"I'll be right away!" After putting down the phone, I went downstairs and went straight to my mother-in-law's house.

When I entered my mother-in-law's house, I saw that the house was full of joy: the sister-in-law's family of three, several relatives from other places who came to the wedding in advance, and a few neighbors who helped filled the whole room, and the table and the ground were full of pots and chopsticks, one big pot was freshly cooked meat, and the other two pots were still in the semi-finished cold dishes, and all the doors and windows were covered with big red happy words, and the doors were full of colorful balloons. The uncle's new house has not yet been renovated, so the wedding room is still located on the side of the in-law's house, and the guests who come in advance are also entertained here, and the wedding will be held in the hotel at noon tomorrow.

"I thought you were going to come early!" My mother-in-law was very happy to see me.

"I'm busy with work, and I've been working overtime until now." I replied disapprehantly.

Anyway, my mother-in-law rarely gives me a smile, and I don't have to be panicked about it, I'm used to this kind of treatment.

"Mom!" As soon as Yang Yang saw me, he pounced.

"Baby, have you eaten?" I asked Yangyang.

"Eat." Yang Yang's eyes blinked a few times as he spoke, obviously sleepy and wanted to sleep.

"Yangyang wants to sleep, let's go back." I said to Lu Tao.

"You're either not coming, you're going to leave as soon as you come, everyone is so busy, are you just standing by?" Lu Tao was not satisfied.

"What should I do if the child is sleepy?"

"Let Yangyang sleep here tonight, Yueyue will also sleep here, and let the two children sleep together once." The mother-in-law on the side spoke.

"At twelve o'clock at night, Yang Yang wants to drink milk once, and he has to wake up every three hours to pee, I am worried that it will affect your sleep." I say.

"Then let Lu Tao be there, and you can go back alone in a while!"

"Yes, you can!"

After listening to my mother-in-law's arrangement, I first put Yangyang to sleep, then helped make some dumplings, and I returned to my home alone at 11 o'clock in the evening.

When I got up the next morning, I didn't know if I should go to my mother-in-law's side, and didn't my mother-in-law say that I couldn't meet the bride? I called Lu Tao, and Lu Tao said that I had to go, and I would just hide and disappear after the bride got married. I was also worried about Yangyang, so I had breakfast briefly and rode to my mother-in-law's house again.

The wedding is all ready, just wait for the noon to the hotel for the wedding banquet. In the morning, my task is to take care of Yangyang, and Yangyang has been following his little cousin Yueyue, Yueyue is not rare at all this younger brother, just play by himself, every toy does not let Yangyang move, poor Yangyang called his sister in his mouth, with tears in his eyes, followed closely behind Yueyue's buttocks, begging Yueyue's acceptance, but Yueyue has been ignoring him as if he didn't exist, playing alone.

Seeing this, I picked up Yang Yang and said to him, "Can Mom take you to the yard to ride my sister's bicycle?" ”

Yang Yang shook his head, I knew that he didn't dare to ride his sister's car rashly, I said I was not afraid, I carried him to the yard, pushed out Yueyue's small bicycle, and let him ride on it. As soon as Yang Yang rode around, he was discovered by Yueyue, who suddenly ran out of the house and slapped Yang Yang in the face. But my son didn't have the courage to resist at all, he only knew to cry with his mouth open.

"What's wrong?" Hearing Yangyang's cry, several people came out of the house, and the first of them was the mother-in-law.

"Yueyue hit Yangyang." I report.

"Look at your talent, a man can't mess with a girl, do you dare to mix with society when you grow up?" I knew my mother-in-law was joking, but it wasn't comfortable to listen to at all.

"Yangyang is just reluctant to beat the little sister, Yangyang is never bullied in kindergarten, and he is not kicked." I say.

At this time, the sister-in-law came forward, and she pretended to lecture her daughter without any force: "You are not allowed to beat my brother in the future, do you hear?" ”

"He's not allowed to play with my car!" Yueyue looked domineering.

The family was chattering and laughing around the two children, and the father-in-law, who had been silent in the house, suddenly spoke: "It's not early, it's time to go to the hotel." ”

At this time, everyone realized that it was already eleven o'clock, so a group of people rushed to the hotel.

"Mom, should I go?" I deliberately asked my mother-in-law before going out.

"Of course you have to go, your brother-in-law is married, can you not participate in the wedding as a sister-in-law?" Mother-in-law said.

"What should I do if I bump into my new daughter-in-law?" I asked again.

"You just hide from it." The mother-in-law said again.

"Where to hide, everyone is eating in the lobby, it's impossible not to see, I don't have to go, I can't afford to take this responsibility if I collide with the bride." I say.

"In this way, you and your aunts hide in the private room, and when the newcomers come to toast, you hide out first, and then come back after the toast, so it's always okay, right?" The mother-in-law finally gave a plan.

"Okay." I am also more satisfied, and I feel a little lifted, I can eat in the private room with the elders, you must know that most people eat in the lobby.

After arriving at the hotel, I found that things were not so simple, Yang Yang always had to run out to play, I had to follow him all over the lobby, and when I heard the salute of the newcomer arrive, I hurriedly picked up Yang Yang and hid in the private room. But Yangyang didn't do it, I had to go out to see my new daughter-in-law, so I pushed open the door and called Lu Tao and asked Lu Tao to take Yangyang.

Through the glass window of the private room, I saw the welcome procession of eight black cars slowly arriving in the deafening salute, when the wedding car covered by flowers stopped at the door of the hotel, and the bride was about to get off, I quickly retracted my head, I don't pay attention to yin and yang gossip, but I am also following my mother-in-law's will, after all, it is someone who marries a daughter-in-law, and I don't want people to worry about me.

After a while, the dishes were all served, and they were much more generous than when I got married. But think about it again, the era is different, of course, the specifications are different, for example, Lu Tao only used a jeep to marry me when he married me, and now my brother-in-law is married, it is actually a team! Although I can understand it, I still don't feel like it in my heart, and I always feel that I was too shabby to get married back then.

After toasting the elders at the same table, I thought about Yangyang again, but I couldn't go out, I don't know if Lu Tao took care of him, the scene is so messy, he won't let him get lost, right? After eating a few bites of food restlessly, I still entrusted an elder to go to the private room to see Yangyang, I didn't want this elder to come back and say that I couldn't find Yangyang, I was in a hurry, and sent a message to Lu Tao and asked him to find Yangyang, and after a while, Lu Tao came over and said to me that Yangyang was watching fish in the fish pond, don't worry.

Well, it doesn't seem like anything could go wrong, and I'm starting to enjoy my meal. I like to eat fatty pork knuckle the most, soft but not greasy, many ladies dare not eat pork knuckle, afraid of eating fat, and I don't have to worry, every meal is full, and I can't get fat. While eating, I saw Lu Tao come in again and said that Yangyang was gone.

"Didn't you say you were watching the fish over there?" I say.

"yes, I was there, but I'm not there now." Lu Tao's face was panicked.

"What?"

I didn't think much of it, I stood up and rushed straight to the lobby outside, just in time to collide with the bride!

"Ouch, didn't I let you out?" My mother-in-law was in a hurry, so she grabbed me and dragged me into the private room, as if I was a demon.

"Yang Yang is gone!" I yelled at my mother-in-law, and immediately everyone in the lobby turned their heads to look at me!

I can't care so much, go fuck the five elements gossip, if I can't find my son today, I and his Lu family will not be finished! I spread my legs and searched all over the house, but I really couldn't find it, and I looked next to each private room, and it didn't matter who was eating inside, but I still couldn't find Yangyang, I went outside the hotel, there were cars coming and going on the street, such a big world, let me go there to find someone? I turned back to the hotel, found Lu Tao, nose to nose, and said to him word by word: "You must find my son for me today, otherwise I will jump off the top of this building!" ”

I was about to go crazy, running up and down the five-story hotel, many relatives and friends also put down their chopsticks and helped me look for Yangyang, but an hour passed, and I still didn't see Yangyang, so I went to the hotel bar and called the police.

After the police came, they divided into two groups, one to find on the street, and one to conduct a carpet search of the entire hotel, and when it was dark, Yangyang finally found it, and fell asleep in a guest room on the third floor!

When I found Yangyang, I didn't say a word to my in-laws, and returned home with my son in my arms. (To be continued.) )
