173 grasp the present

"The auspicious time has arrived, please enter the newcomer!" Zhang Wu looked at the watch on his wrist, he had no choice but to bring a watch, he could read the time, he couldn't hold a big clock in his arms to check the time there, saying that this was too frustrating.

After Zhang Wu shouted, under the cheers of everyone, he saw Lu Fangjun walking out of Xiao Yingzi's house with Bai Xiaoju in his arms.

The clean and neat hairstyle, the thick stubble on the chin is gone, the white shirt, the black suit, and a pair of shiny black leather shoes make Lu Fangjun immediately look like a teenager younger, a handsome groom.

Bai Xiaoju was red. There are red flowers on the coiled hair, although there is no rouge gouache on the face, it is still ruddy, the cherry mouth is touching the red lip gloss, and the body is a cheongsam embroidered with gold lace, which makes Bai Xiaoju look extremely charming, and a pair of red wedding shoes on her feet make Bai Xiaoju even more moving.

"The bride and groom offer a wedding tea." Under Zhang Wu's shouting, Lu Fangjun and Bai Xiaoju knelt in front, each holding a cup of tea and handing it to Zhao Guodong, who was sitting in the first place. "Big brother, please have tea."

Originally, this position was where the parents of both sides sit, but Bai Xiaoju's family did not come, and Lu Fangjun had only one brother in his family, and now he didn't know whether Lu Dao was dead or alive, so he had to let Zhao Guodong sit in the first place, instead of Lu Fangjun's family, this is also said in the past, Zhao Guodong is a few years older than Lu Fangjun, and the two of them are lifelong friends, Zhao Guodong should also be regarded as Lu Fangjun's brother.

Zhao Guodong stood up and drank the tea of the two people, and then returned the half-salute. Although the eldest brother is like a father, the cup of tea that Zhao Guodong drank was only drunk in place of Lu Fangjun and his brother Bai Qiming, so he returned the half-salute.

"Okay, everyone, we are all people of the new era, and we will not have the etiquette of bowing three times and kowtowing nine times, I think everyone is also hungry, let's make it simpler, the etiquette is completed! Seated! Zhang Wu shouted and sat on the stool, "I can finally eat it, I'm almost starving to death." As he spoke, he reached out and was about to take a chicken leg out of the plate.

Xiaoxue's mother slapped Zhang Wu's hand, "You starve to death and reincarnate, I didn't see that other people's affairs are not over, you will die if you eat a little later." ”

"Thank you for coming to my wedding with Xiaoju, you are all friends of me and Xiaoju, don't say anything, thank you, thank you, I'm done with this glass of wine." Lu Fangjun picked up the wine glass and saluted it and poured it into his stomach.

"It's a little simple, and there are fewer people, which is not enough for the big guys. Originally, I didn't plan to do it, but my brother said, "It's a happy event, and I don't dare to say that it's a big deal, so I have to say hello to everyone, so I have a wedding that doesn't look like a wedding today, so we don't charge money today, I just want to tell you that we're married." I don't greet you well, but I ask for your forgiveness, eat and drink well. ”

Lu Fangjun's words made everyone present talk about it, and Lu Fangjun also expected this and didn't care.

"Lao Lu, how can you not take money." Zhang Wu said, "If you get married, you have to collect a little money, this is the rule, otherwise you will not be happy after marriage." ”

"You said that you are a teacher who doesn't even know such a little bit of rules, don't talk about the far ones, just say the close, you four tables of dishes say more or less, these are a lot of money, you might as well take it back." The one who said this was obviously Xiaoxue's mother, who was careful about it.

"That's right, teacher, how can you not take money." Even Xiaoxue was surprised.

"Actually, I discussed it with Xiaoju, I didn't plan to invite so many people, just the three of us to have a lively time, but you also talked about it, and we can't refuse, so I came here like this, anyway, that's what it means." Lu Fangjun said.

"We just want to live a peaceful life, I didn't expect it to be so big, although the money is not much, just enough to spend, it's useless to think so much." As soon as Bai Xiaoju said this, everyone was not easy to say, after all, this is their own business.

Although there are few people, there is still some excitement, it's not that someone came to toast after just two bites, they are all Bai Xiaoju's good friends, no matter how a woman toasts, she can't refuse, after a round, Lu Fangjun's face began to flush, and some of his own colleagues also came to toast, the women's wine was drunk, and the man's wine must be double.

Even Zhang Wu had to have a drink with Lu Fangjun, and he himself knew that Lu Dao was not Lu Fangjun's opponent, so he pulled Zhao Guodong on the line, and said that he was revenge for Zhao Guodong, who let Lu Fangjun pour wine when Zhao Guodong was unconscious.

After three rounds of drinking, eating and drinking, everyone who should have dispersed has dispersed, leaving Zhao Guodong, Zhang Wu and Lu Fangjun still drinking and chatting there, all a little smoky. The two children and Xiaoxue's mother, as well as Bai Xiaoju, who had just passed the door, cleaned up the rest of the stall, returned the tables, chairs and benches that should be returned to others, and packed up everything that should be cleaned up.

"Lao Zhang is gone, you see you have drunk too much." Xiaoxue's mother pulled Zhang Wu, who had already started talking nonsense.

"I didn't drink too much, I still have two more drinks with the groom." Zhang Wu said vaguely.

"Okay, you, you just got married today, and you still need a cave house." Xiaoxue's mother made Bai Xiaoju's face flush with a word.

"Ah, yes, yes, you still need a cave room." Zhang Wu patted his head and said, "That, big brother, little brother, I won't disturb your cave room, that one hugs his son as soon as possible, so that we can be happy again." ”

"Be careful, slow down, slow down." Lu Fangjun nodded in agreement while supporting Zhang Wu.

"Okay, big brother must take a good hole in the house, little brother, I'll go first, you go back." Zhang Wu staggered to move forward, but Xiaoxue and her mother hurried over to help her.

Lu Fangjun watched Zhang Wu's family walk away before coming back.

"Brother, come here." Zhao Guodong also drank a little high, but he was still quite conscious, and beckoned Lu Fangjun over, "Brother and daughter-in-law, you also come over." ”

After the two of them passed, Zhao Guodong asked Xiao Yingzi to take out two thick red envelopes from his room, Zhao Guodong took Lu Fangjun's hand and said: "These two red envelopes, you are Zhang Wu's, and the other is mine, don't say no, you are newly married, newlyweds always have newlywed rules, we can't break the rules, take them." ”

"You are my eldest brother, you really can't ask for this, Xiaoying still has to go to school, isn't the tuition still unsettled?" Lu Fangjun stuffed the red envelope back into Zhao Guodong's hand.

"You have to keep this money, is this a way to know the money? If there was no you, there would be no me Zhao Guodong, if there was no you, would Xiaoying be an orphan now? Take it, just treat it as my brother I will repay you, I am drunk, I will go to sleep first, I will talk about it tomorrow if there is something, I wish you a happy marriage and an early birth of a precious son. Zhao Guodong stuffed the red envelope into Lu Fangjun's hand and staggered into his room.

"In that far away place, there is a good girl ......." Muffled singing echoed through the room.

"Teacher, wait a minute." Xiao Yingzi ran back to her house, took out two clay dolls, and put them in Bai Xiaoju's hands, "Auntie, this is what Xiaoxue and I gave you, and they were all saved with pocket money." Xiao Yingzi said.

"You stupid boy, how can you be like your father." Lu Fangjun said, "If you keep the money, you should buy some books or something." ”

"Teacher, this is a piece of my heart, you have taken care of me for so many years, I haven't done anything, I just thank you for this opportunity." Xiao Ying bowed deeply to Lu Fangjun as she spoke.

"Get up quickly, these are all things that a teacher should do, all you have to do is take care of your dad and study hard." Lu Fangjun said.

"Well, I will. Teacher, I won't send you, my dad is still lying in the house. Xiao Yingzi said.

"It's okay, let's go back by ourselves, you be careful alone, lock the door."

After saying hello to Xiao Yingzi, Lu Fangjun and Bai Xiaoju walked to the school arm in arm.

"Xiaoying and Brother Zhao, why do they thank you, why did Brother Zhao say that without you, Xiaoying would have become an orphan?" On the way, Bai Xiaoju asked.

"Lao Zhao and I are in the same regiment, but he is from the seventh company and I am from the third company." Lu Fangjun told Bai Xiaoju everything about him and Zhao Guodong along the way, including what happened to him and Bai Ju back then, and he also persuaded him all the time.

"That hospitalization was the most dangerous, you were also present at the time, if you went a little late, Lao Zhao would have died."

Lu Fangjun and Bai Xiaoju sat in a flower bed in the school.

"Did you really have a woman?" Bai Xiaoju didn't hear anything else, but paid attention to the one named Bai Ju.

"You come with me." Lu Fangjun pulled Bai Xiaoju back to his room, and there was also a big red happy word pasted inside, and red candles were lit.

Lu Fangjun took out a photo from his box and handed it to Bai Xiaoju, "This is her." ”

"She's so beautiful." Bai Xiaoju took the yellowed photo, looked at the smiling woman on it and said.

"Her name is not Bai Ju, her name is Bai Na, and her original name is Bai Ju Junko." Lu Fangjun said everything from their acquaintance to falling in love, and then until Bai Ju's death, he went to Liuzhen. Bai Xiaoju's tears kept flowing down when she listened.

"When I saw you, I was stunned, how could there be two people who are so similar in the world, I once suspected that Bai Ju replied to me again, half a year, I haven't dared to contact you for half a year, not because of anything else, I'm afraid that you think I treat you as her. I'm sorry I didn't tell you the truth, I lied to you. ”

Bai Xiaoju looked at Lu Fangjun's eyes, "Do you really love me now?" ”

"Love, I really love you. She is the past, you are the present, I don't want to forget the past, but I want to grasp the present more. ”
