October 16th, is a good day for Cao Jie and Ma Honghong to get married, Lu Li and other young men arrived at Cao's house from the morning, in their group of Hutong children of the same age, Cao Jie is the largest, and the first to get married, catch up with such a good opportunity, just a big fun, more importantly, many classmates, neighbors, friends who have been absent for a long time also took advantage of this gathering together.

"Luley, remember me?"

The weather in October was not very hot, but Luli was busy and sweating!

Cao Jie doesn't need to mention that he is the groom's official and the absolute protagonist today; The second elder of the Cao family is old, and there are too many colleagues, friends, and neighbors, and the leaders of the unit want to entertain them, so many things fall on Cao Xun's head. He was honest and unkind, and called Lu Li directly, "This kind of thing, you are the most suitable to do!" I'll leave it all to you, right? ”

"Don't, what about you? You are the future brother-in-law, and you will have to meet your brother after a while. What's wrong with me? ”

"Nonsense, I know, you watch for me for a while, I'll smoke a cigarette."

Lu Li scolded in his heart, and he had no choice but to take his place to stare at the post, in the morning, he was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground, and he couldn't even drink saliva, when he heard someone behind him, he looked back, it was a thin young man, with a white face and no beard, wearing glasses on his face, and greeting him with a smile, "What are you doing, don't you remember?" ”

"Of course you remember." Luli quickly recognized him, an old classmate for many years, and they often fought together, could there be one who didn't remember? But what he can't be sure of is whether this is the elder brother or the younger brother? Are they twins, "Are you the third or the fourth?" ”

The man laughed, "It's okay, I haven't forgotten our brothers!" I'm Ding Cong. ”

Luley laughed too. He shook his hand, "You're here alone?" What about your brother? By the way, where do you two work now? ”

"Cotton Six."

"Okay, big unit?" Cotton Six refers to the No. 6 Cotton Spinning Factory, which is located in Hexi (District), not far from the department store where they live. This is a large state-run unit. In fact, there are nine such cotton mills, and the people in the city call them all numbers for convenience. "Are you both there, or is it just you?"

Ding Cong smiled, and Gu said to him: "Don't talk about me, let's talk about you?" Good guy, our family has been moving for many years, and I only found out when Cao Xun called me. Why? You're doing it yourself now? And pulled a few of their brothers in? Okay, don't look back, you can't do it, you can't go back to the original unit, aren't you Cao Xun? Let's just say that the two of you always fought when you were young, and you didn't do it so harmfully, right? ”

“cnm！” Xu Yunjian scolded beside him, "San'er, do you know how many inches JB is? I don't even know don't talk nonsense here, you idiot! Thinking you're a person when you wear glasses? Forgot to let Xiao Xiao beat you up like a fool in the first place? Look at you now. It's still such a stupid fuck! ”

Luli was shocked, such a good day. If you fight for his words, it will be too unpleasant, so I hurriedly pushed him aside, "Ding Cong, don't be angry, Xu Yunjian." You know that, too. ”

"How did I not know?" Ding Cong scolded Xu Yunjian so much that his face turned pale, and he pushed his glasses disdainfully, "Lu Li, Xu Yunjian is still following you now?" Okay, how many years have it been until today? It's the same as when I was in school. Are you protecting him to the death? ”

"He's been a great help to me. Having said that, Xu Yunjian just has a dirty mouth......"

"He's not a little dirty, he's dirty! I remember he listened to you the most, didn't he? Take care of him, don't let him show up all day long! Ding Cong sneered and suddenly beckoned, "Si'er, come and have a look, do you still know him?" ”

A man who looked exactly like Ding Cong walked over, also wearing glasses, and he recognized it, "It's Lu Li, right?" Oops! How many years haven't we seen each other? Are you alright? ”

"I'm fine, how about you two come here? I asked Ding Cong just now, where have you been? Lu Li smiled and talked to his old classmates, "That, San'er, we were all little children back then, let him pass the past." ”

"What else can I do?" Ding Cong smiled and said, "You can't fight again, right?" Ha ha! ”

After chatting with the twins for a few words, the two went by themselves, Lu Li stood at the door of the Cao family's courtyard, nodding to the male and female guests coming and going, with a smile on his face, "Yo, you just came, waiting for you, please come in." ”

"Hey, Auntie, you look at the soles of your feet, there is a threshold here, hey, I'll hold you. Okay, you go slowly. ”

Cao Xun and Xu Yun held cigarette rolls between their fingers, and laughed, "See?" I'll just say, he's doing this best! It's right to hand it over to him, let's just wait for the restaurant to eat in the afternoon. ”

"You have it, this is our family's business, what can I do with him? When I came back and let people know, I had to say that I was ignorant. Cao Xun threw the cigarette butt on the ground and walked over quickly, "Xiaoxiao, I'll stare at it for a while, can you go in and drink saliva?" ”

"I ......" Lu Li gave him a blank look and swallowed back the swear words, "You still know to come back for me?" Where did you smoke this cigarette, did you go to Yun (South) and grow tobacco leaves? ”

Cao Xun laughed! "Come on, come on, I know you've worked hard. It's almost time now, why don't you go in and talk to my parents, let's pull it out, right? ”

"Go in and say, and if it's all right, go and walk. Your yard is not big, and there is no place to sit back. ”

"Okay." Cao Xun entered the house and discussed with his parents for a while, and the second elder nodded, "Then let's go, let's meet at the restaurant." That, Lao Liu, Lao Wang, let's go, Yazilou, it's on Liao (Ning) Road, you all know each other, right? We're all set, let's go in and sit casually! ”

Lao Liu and Lao Wang are the two leaders of the post and telecommunications office, and when they heard this, they nodded, led the large army, went out of the small courtyard, and went all the way, "That, Xu Yunjian?" Luli called him over, "Zhang Qing is now in the restaurant, you ride over and help him arrange a seat." ”

"Okay."

"Wait a minute!" Luli called him back again, helped him straighten the collar and cuffs of his suit, "Don't shout there." You know, right? As soon as you make a fuss, people will be tantamount to watching the jokes of the Cao family - no matter how unpleasant the people you see, it is today anyway. No one will pay attention to anyone in the future! Got it? ”

"Understood, don't worry, you can't make a mistake." Xu Yunjian smiled and rode away.

Luli had time to catch his breath. It doesn't matter whose cup it is, I picked it up and filled it with water first, "Xiaoxiao, are you tired?" ”

"It's okay......" he subconsciously agreed, and then his eyes narrowed, "You're getting bolder now?" Dare you call me this? ”

Liang Wei smiled and bent over! She also wore a new dress today, a long pink skirt, and a small vest on her upper body, which looked playful and cute. The only thing that he doesn't like very much and feels incongruous. It's a ceremonial flower pinned to the head, but this kind of thing is a thing for the occasion, just for men, and for women. "What's wrong with yelling? Besides, isn't a nickname just for people? ”

"That's not going to work, you're younger than me."

Liang Wei grinned, "Just call, you don't dare to bully me today anyway!" ”

"You're wearing this. Cold or not? When I came back in the evening, it was cold. ”

"I know, it's fine. Ay. Do you still go to the cave room at night? ”

"I'm not going, after all, it's his eldest brother who gets married, and it's not him. To be honest, I can't be considered very familiar with people, so I should not go. ”

"So, what if Cao Xun gets married one day? Are you making trouble? ”

Luli ignored the topic. smiled at the other side, "Uncle, aunt, this day can make your second elder tired a lot, right?" ”

"Isn't it? Now that I think about it, you're still right, if you build a shed in an alley. I really can't think that the night is over, and our old couple's waists must be tired. It's much more convenient now, go there to eat, then wipe your mouth and leave, it's a lot easier to save trouble - when you come back to get married, you can do the same. Xiaoxiao, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you again then? ”

"Didn't say that. Say hello and I'll be right there. ”

The mother of the Cao family was not as big as her husband, frowned slightly, looked at the pair in front of her, and said a little distressed: "Xiaoxiao, these days, it's really troublesome for you, take a look?" His eldest brother got married, and the second brother didn't care much, and he threw it all to you? What's this called? ”

"Auntie, if you say that, you'll be out of sight. Cao Xun has helped me a lot more than that. Besides, we're such good friends, isn't that all right? ”

"Oh, I remembered, Xiaoxiao, the money for the banquet, I discussed it with your aunt, and I didn't let you out. I'll give you all the money you spent. ”

"Uncle, don't worry about this. Think about it, when Brother Cao gets married, don't I have to follow him? Now I don't follow this money, but pay for the banquet instead, inside and outside is an account, to be honest, you are like this, and you have saved me money! ”

Father Cao chuckled, "Okay, you, don't use this to explain me." You kid is sensible, we know. Let's not mention it today, let's see in the future. Let's go, let's go to the restaurant too. ”

The last group of people arrived at the restaurant, Cao's father and his wife sat in the front row, Lu Li looked in the restaurant, and soon saw Zhang Qing and Li Tiehan, they were not far from the guest of honor, the four Dong wine bottles on the table were opened, and two of them were emptied. Surrounded by several familiar faces, such as the Ding brothers, Dong Yuqiang, Zhang Hao, Lin Yanxiu and others, a group of partners, the only one who was not present was Luo Yaohua.

"Tiny, this way." Li Xueqing's eyes were sharp, he saw the two of them, beckoned him to sit down, and pulled out the chair, "Xiaoxiao, sit here, you have to give a speech later!" By the way, have you thought about it? ”

Lu Li smiled noncommittally and said to Zhang Qing, "How is it?" ”

"Don't worry, I dare to be careless about other things, this matter is serious. It's all in my arms. Hey, Xiaoxiao, is that enough? ”

"I asked Cao Xun to take some too, but it wasn't enough to ask him."

As he spoke, the waiter at the restaurant began to serve the food, first cold dishes, a companion sting, a shredded kelp, a tiger skin green pepper, and a sauce elbow flower. Things may not be particularly good, but they are better in quantity.

In this era, there is no so-called host in later generations, only a master of ceremonies, a man in his early forties, Lu Li listened to Cao Xun's introduction, this is the head (seat) of their post and telecommunications office, surnamed Wang, his appearance is not good, but his voice is quite loud, "Comrades,"

The surrounding environment was quiet, listening to the people on the stage, "Today, we are attending the wedding of Cao Jie and Ma Honghong!" They are all good socialist youths who were born in a new society and grew up under the red flag. In particular, Comrade Cao Jie, since joining the work, has always been hard-working, diligent, and last year, he was also rated as the 38th ......, uh, excellent courier in the institute. I believe that after the two of them get married, Comrade Cao Jie will definitely be able to burst out with more enthusiastic revolutionary passion and achieve greater achievements on the road of the new Long March! ”

The guests in the audience applauded politely, "Next, please ......" The king (seat) looked at the gift list in his hand and read: "I am especially invited by Comrade Cao Yezhi, the father of the groom, to invite Comrade Lu Li to give a speech." ”

Luley doesn't want to get to himself so soon? Hurriedly put down the chopsticks, walked up to the guest of honor in a few steps, shook hands with the king (seat), and stood in front of the microphone, "Hello everyone, I'm Lu Li." He looked at the restaurant full of guests, and his heart was nervous. What are you doing here? Let's tell a joke first, calm down your emotions, "I just listened to the speech of the king (seat) below, I was really shocked. I thought Cao Jie had been named the 38th Red Flag Bearer last year - seriously, if it wasn't for my companion reminding me, I wouldn't have known, this is only for lesbians. ”

The guests burst into laughter! Among them, the staff of the post and telecommunications office laughed the loudest!

"Cao Jie and I are friends, and more importantly, I am buddies with Cao Jie's younger brother Cao Xun. It is a great honor and excitement for me to be entrusted by my uncle and aunt to speak here. I think that the king (seat) of the union has already introduced the groom, so let me introduce the bride. ”

Everyone was stunned at the same time, is he familiar with the bride? “…… I hardly knew the bride, but there was one thing that touched me very, very well. Here, I might as well take it out and share it with you. Last month, I went to Uncle Cao's house, and it wasn't very hot at the time, so I took off my clothes and took them into the house. When I left, I was surprised to find that there was a loose button that had been re-sewn by today's bride. From this one thing alone, I know that she is a very gentle and very virtuous woman, and the eldest brother of the Cao family can marry such a woman as his lifelong partner, whether it is for himself or for their family, it is a happy and fortunate thing. Here, I wish them a hundred years of happiness and old age! ”

"Well said!" Cao Xun was the first to get up and applauded vigorously!

This speech is indeed very good, much more clever than the kind of official speech of the king (seat), and the people next to him will not have any special expression, the bride's parents, sisters and brothers, after the beginning of the toast of the bride and groom, specially let Cao Yezhi lead them to their table, "Xiaoxiao, let me introduce you, this is Lao Ma, my family." People are here to toast you. ”

"Oh, don't you dare." Brother Luli hurriedly got up and picked up his wine glass, "I...... You have to call it Uncle Ma, right? You see, you still ......"

"Little Lu, huh? Thank you for your remarks! Seriously, your aunt and I don't know your last name yet, but after listening to you, we shed tears! That's a good point, that's good! ”

"Actually, it's nothing, if my sister-in-law didn't have such a thing, I wouldn't be good at nonsense, would I? This can only show that the sister-in-law's family style and tutoring are good. From this point of view, Uncle Cao is blessed. ”

The words made the two old men laugh, and Xu Yunjian gave him a fierce look, "CNM, he can really call in vain!" Look at the two of them, good guys, they're all about to bubble up! ”

After a series of entertainments, everyone left, as soon as Lu Li sat down, Xu Yunjian immediately said: "Xiaoxiao, when I get married, you have to take medicine according to the prescription and praise my daughter-in-law in public, do you hear?" ”

"I hear you." Lu Li said lazily: "Let's not mention whether you can find your wife, even if you do, who knows what kind of foreign chicken it is?" I just want to hold it, but I don't know where to pick it? ”

One sentence came out, and a lot of laughter fell during the banquet! (To be continued......)
