(392 votes added)
……
In the afternoon of the next day, An Feng's reserved plane arrived.
The schedule is a bit tight, because there is still a banquet in China. After saying goodbye to my friends in the afternoon, I pulled everyone back together on the plane. The Gulfstream G650, which can accommodate twenty people, is almost full, and in addition to their parents, Wu Chao and Wang Le also went back to join in the fun.
First, I flew to Los Angeles, and after the customs stamped the passport book, I took off again in the blue sky.
The days at the resort were in good spirits, and activities were discussed along the way. Dad and Frank are chatting energetically under Joanna's translation.
An Feng pulled his mother and said, "Yes, I was worried about the language barrier and communication difficulties, but I didn't expect my father and father-in-law to be able to talk until now." ”
The old mother smiled: "How can you say that it is also a family, it is always right to know more, and the old man said that this represents the cultural exchange between the two countries." ”
"When did you pay attention to these tall and tall?" An Feng asked with a smile.
"Of course you are relaxed, and you casually dump things on us, but you don't know everyone's troubles." My sister sat down and said dissatisfied.
An Feng was puzzled: "Huh? ”
The elder sister pouted and said, "After my parents heard about you and Joanna a few months ago, they were both happy and nervous, happy that you found a satisfactory daughter-in-law, but they were nervous about the other party's family background. They thought that Joanna was a hereditary noble lady of the family, and in ancient China, it was either a member of the imperial court or a relative of the emperor! I also learned from various sources that Westerners are very particular about etiquette, and I couldn't help but be scared, so there was a matter of two old people actively studying, and they seized the time to go to training classes to supplement their knowledge......"
An Fengtuo listened with his chin, the difference in their family backgrounds did exist. Both Sassen and the count's father-in-law, whom he had never met, represented the wealthy class, while his family was just ordinary people, and in ancient Europe, nobles could not even intermarry with commoners.
But that's also ancient, and it's only once. Salted fish can turn over, and sling silk can also counterattack. There is a saying in China that the rich are still farmers after three generations, while the Western aristocracy is more powerful, and it may have been passed down for six or seven generations, but the essence is not the same? Flipping up the genealogy, maybe our ancestors were just a bunch of croaking monkeys when they were eating cooked food and hunting in leather pants......
"I was wrong. Patronizing myself, I didn't expect everyone. An Feng said apologetically, "But relax, those 1% rich people or something, now our family is too, you have to be confident in yourself!" You think like this, if necessary, I can use money to kill you, and this confidence in being a man will come. ”
My sister was defeated. It's hard to get An Feng to speak seriously, but in the final analysis. Maybe it's his positive and good attitude that makes him brave enough to pursue Joanna, right? If you are afraid of anything, you are afraid of wolves and tigers, and you don't dare to do that, and you are destined to hang silk for a lifetime.
An Feng, who was not serious on the surface, pondered in his heart that this substance was abundant. With so much money, his family will naturally not live a poor life, but he has to add to his spiritual aspect, not to mention deliberately pursuing the lifestyle of the upper class, which is not something that everyone can adapt to. But at least develop self-confidence.
……
The 4th departure of the United States, flying 12 hours back to China, due to the time difference, the adjusted time is the evening of the 5th, the plane landed in S City, temporarily stopped, and left the next day. An Feng and his family and friends took the bus back to their local hotel.
After dinner, An Feng pulled Joanna out of the hotel and went to a custom clothing store in the city.
Half a month ago, An Feng had sent their accurately measured body data, and specially ordered two cheongsams for Joanna that she liked, as well as her two sets of traditional Tang costumes, to get a taste of traditional culture.
Joanna originally wanted to hold a traditional oriental wedding banquet, but it has been washed away by foreign culture over the years, and now most of the people who are married are not the same as wedding suits and dresses? The most authentic ones that have just been held abroad are not necessary in China, and the traditional costumes are good!
After trying on the clothes on the spot, the high-end tailor shop naturally didn't need to worry about the workmanship, Joanna changed into the red embroidered seven-point cheongsam, and her temperament was not reduced, and the design of the leg slits also made her a pair of beautiful legs looming. It's a little tight, but it just the right amount to highlight the perfect body.
Joanna looked at herself in the mirror, and then turned to look at An Feng: "Is it good-looking?" ”
An Feng nodded: "Very charming!" ”
……
Other people also went to S City at night, and appreciated the beauty and diversity of the night SH, not to mention domestic friends for the time being, they have long been accustomed to the prosperity of the metropolis, at most they are amazed by the gorgeous neon lights at night, but the foreign father-in-law and mother-in-law can be eye-opening, they have not been to the mainland before, they understand that they are all superficial, immersed in it, and are impressed by the high-rise buildings and busy traffic here.
Frank sighed: "What a spectacular city, it's not worse than Los Angeles, right?" ”
Kelly nodded, "It's more rural around Los Angeles." ”
The main culprit for this discrepancy is the Western media that report on the bad side of China, and the Western media with colored glasses say nothing about the good aspects of China, but the bad ones are capitalized and close-up, and the whole world knows about them...... To be honest in this regard, it is the same as a certain TV station where "the people of the whole country are happy and happy, and the people of the world are living in dire straits", so don't blame anyone, everyone is half a pound and eight taels, each other.
Early the next morning, the plane rushed back to the south and stopped in the city.
Considering the itinerary and the convenience of relatives and friends, the banquet was held in a hotel in the city, and an uncle of An Feng was in charge, anyway, his father gave a lot of money, and it was not clear what it could do. Take the bus to the place to see, it's not bad, this hotel is often on TV.
The banquet was held in the afternoon, but people had already arrived in the morning, and as soon as An Feng and Joanna appeared, it was customary to be watched for a short while. Those seven aunts and eight aunts or something, I heard that An Feng took a foreign girl, that rarity, from last night to this morning, I haven't stopped! What do you say, I have a long experience, the kid has the ability, and he praised his mother and father with a smile, and the pride rose slowly.
When the real person appeared, everyone naturally had to watch and praise it.
In the words of the aunts. It's just that it looks like a peugeot, it looks like everyone's lady, the temperament is natural, and the butt is big and big, and it can give birth to a baby!
They came to the conclusion that "glamorous but not vulgar, it is definitely a standard foreign lady!" An Feng, you kid has been cultivating for eight lifetimes and is blessed to marry her! ”
An Feng Khan one. And this kind of standard? He translated to Joanna, who didn't understand the regional accent: "Praise you for your good figure, and bless our marriage." ”
"Thank you." Joanna said with a smile.
"Do you still speak Chinese? It's time for your house to burn incense! They were surprised.
Pull the beautiful foreign bride who is about to be surrounded by the inner and outer three floors to escape, and return to the suite above the hotel to rest. Then take a shower and change into a well-prepared gown. The parents were busy for their children, and when An Feng and Joanna, who had changed their clothes, appeared, everyone focused on their eyes again.
Chinese marriage pays attention to a festive one, so it is natural to be dressed in red, An Feng wears a red Tang costume and black pants. It has an elegant demeanor. Due to the advantage of her figure, Joanna wears any clothes that are eye-catching, with a bright red embroidered phoenix cheongsam, a string of pearl necklaces around her neck, her hair pulled up high, and pink lipstick. On the contrary, it is appropriate.
An Feng looked at the three aunts and six women who said "glamorous but not vulgar" with admiration, their eyes were really powerful!
He was also very pleased with Joanna's look. Give the stylist a thumbs up and turn his wife into a traditional noble style, with bright lipstick, dark eye shadow, long eyelashes, and a lighter blush...... The styling is flamboyant and enthusiastic. It's not low-key at all, but what's the use of a bride being low-key at this time?
Frank and Kelly were also dressed in Tang costumes and cheongsam, and they were very interested in these clothes, so they bought a few more sets.
Father-in-law and mother-in-law after meeting Joanna in full costume. I couldn't help but exclaim: "Oh! Look at our daughter! She's so beautiful! Like an angel! ”
An Feng is sweating again, the angel is wearing white, right?
When my parents saw it, the smiles on their faces were undiminished. It's just that the mother was satisfied and muttered: "It would be nice for the daughter-in-law to be shorter." ”
An Feng was childish: "It's to be high!" ”
After Joanna put on high heels, the altitude did put a lot of pressure on the ladies, and the friends who came one after another looked up after the first glance, and felt that she was so tall A girl, standing almost the same as An Feng, who was more than one meter and eight, and also revealed a strong envy from the words.
Women, who doesn't want to be tall, long-legged, temperamental and sexy?
An Feng's classmates and friends saw it, pulled him aside, and condemned: "You kid is capable, last time it was a sexy girl, this time change to a noble fan!" Hurry up and talk about it, what magic method is used, and also give a few tricks to buddies, and go back to deal with women, we still have a single one! ”
An Feng said with a smile: "The reason is also very simple, four words!" ”
The crowd listened attentively to theology.
"Rich and rich!" An Feng Road.
"Poof!" The crowd spurted blood, and died.
……
When the newlyweds greeted her, Joanna stood at the door, and passers-by couldn't help but glance at them a few more times. It's just that the city is not big, just an ordinary third line, unlike those in S city and B city, where there are a bunch of embassies and consulates, and foreigners can look for them casually. It's different here, and I don't see a few foreigners in a year.
Joanna's appearance and appearance are completely in line with those beautiful foreign girls on TV, blonde, tall, dignified, and completely a model on a foreign fashion show! Even the relatives and friends of the newlyweds who got married in the same hotel couldn't help but come over and take a few looks.
Everyone is taking advantage of the eleventh long holiday to get married, the guests are coming in from the door, passing by, everyone's eyes are unconsciously aimed at the pair of festive red newlyweds, and ignore the two pairs of newlyweds in wedding suits, because neither temperament nor clothing creativity can be compared.
After a long period of onlookers, the red envelopes were collected, and Joanna took An Feng's arm and smiled at the banquet.
This time, there was no ceremony, only a banquet, more than 20 tables were set up, and familiar or ordinary friends were invited. Let's start with a wonderful video, a video of the grand wedding reception with Chinese subtitles, filmed in Palm Springs, on the projector provided by the hotel.
The first is a scenic resort, and then it cuts to a grand wedding reception, where a group of foreigners in formal clothes are smiling or talking as the camera pans...... After the band played, Joanna, dressed in grand and luxurious clothes, wore a crown on her head and a necklace around her neck, surrounded by little angels, walked slowly with her head held high, with a faint smile on her face, showing her confidence.
All the relatives and friends in the audience watched the video very attentively, and the newlyweds and friends in another banquet hall next to them also joined in the excitement to appreciate what the majestic Western wedding banquet was like, and then compared the ceremony that they were going to do here, and they were very ashamed.
……
After the video was played, everyone applauded, got out of Western culture, and returned to the Eastern atmosphere, the newlyweds got married, the practice is that the newlyweds first give tea to their parents, and then continue to meet important relatives and friends, and everyone has not let them go, the wine glass should be full, and a sip should be light.
An Feng was under a lot of pressure, but fortunately, some people's attention was on his father-in-law, and having a drink with this brown-haired foreigner would be a topic of conversation in the future. He was a lot more relaxed, and his father-in-law was also very effective at the critical moment, and Frank, who vowed to win respect at the liquor table, went out of his way today.
But looking at my mother-in-law's face, it's hard to say whether she will kneel on the keyboard tonight...... (To be continued......)
