50 The Scarlet Wedding (Part I)
After Tian Li heard that we had a car accident, he was also worried, and made several phone calls. Seeing the time to drive the train, he and Wang Dian waited at the station early.
Looking at the people who got off the bus, Tian Li and Wang Dian were dumbfounded, and I saw the two of them competing each other in the car.
I don't blame them, I would be stupid if I did. got down a cart of people covered in blood, and those who didn't know thought that someone had dragged a large number of horses and slashed people.
"What's the situation?" Tian Li asked us, and Wang Dian also added: "Why is there so much blood on Xiaoxiao's clothes?" Injured? ”
I went through the rough story of the journey, omitting the part of the voice in my head.
Tian Li patted me on the shoulder when he heard this: "It's okay, fortunately, you are in a hurry, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." ”
Zhao Xiao remembered: "Yu Xi, you don't seem to have been to the toilet yet, right?" ”
Of course not, that's just an excuse, usually I take a bottle and solve it directly in the car. Not long after leaving the service area on the highway, there are not many bus masters who will stop for one person to urinate.
I remember once I encountered the same situation, but the bottle I brought was too small, one was that the mouth of the bottle was too small, and the other was that the bottle capacity was too small.
I ran to the front and asked the master to borrow a bottle, and the master said no. After returning to the seat, I saw that one of the two girls in the front seat had just finished drinking the nutrition express, and I hurriedly asked for a bottle without saying a word.
The girl thought I was thirsty and gave me a full bottle of unopened Nutrition Express. I was so embarrassed that I couldn't hold it back, so I had to say, "I just need an empty bottle." ”
The two girls seemed to know what I was trying to do, awkwardly handed me the empty bottles, and switched seats.
You think that's the end of it? No, they shifted to my symmetrical aisle next to their seats. I asked, what is this for? Watching me pee?
I had to run to the back with my legs between my legs to solve it, but fortunately there were few people in the car at that time. The two girls kept looking back and peeking, and then laughed.
The blood stains on his clothes have already dried, and he doesn't have to worry about getting Tian Li's car dirty.
"Vigorously, is the wedding car done?" I asked.
"That's it, Liu Wu's friend is running a car rental company, and the acquaintance has an affordable price, so I rented three Lexus and a Rocky."
"Are there so many people who drive? And you and Liu Wu both have cars, who drives those four? I asked.
"Your uncle, I'm the groom's officer, why are you still counting me in, can I drive?" Tian Li then said: "Liu Wu has the best driving skills, he drives a wedding car. I remember Dawen taking the driver's license, plus you, Dian and Cheng Hua, you have one, and I will find someone else to drive Liu Wu's car. ”
"Okay, I'll drive your car, I'm familiar with your car, their skills are better, so I'll drive a rented one."
"Okay!" Tian Li saw Zhao Xiao asleep in the rearview mirror, and said, "The three of you are scared today, don't be busy, I opened all the rooms in the hotel with you and booked them for three nights." You and Xiaoxiao are in one room, and Dawen is in one room. Rest for a while, I'll leave the car to you, and you will wake up and come to my house for dinner. ”
At the door of the hotel, Tian Li gave me the car key: "Don't return this key, stay with you, in case I lose the key one day, it is convenient to find you." ”
The three of us didn't fall asleep in the hotel, and I don't know why. But like Zhao Xiao, I closed my eyes and saw the scene in the car. And I'm still thinking about the scene in my head, is it really Ruan Qin who has been reminding me?
At seven o'clock in the evening, Tian Li called: "Have you slept well?" Come over for dinner, hurry up! ”
I didn't sleep at all, the three of them took a shower, and when they found that they couldn't sleep, they ran to the mall to buy clothes. After all, winter clothes are not easy to dry by hand, and coats cannot be washed in a washing machine, so they have to be sent for dry cleaning.
Zhao Xiao and I also bought a couple's down jacket, He Wen muttered all the way that he shouldn't follow, and made a light bulb all the way.
Lu Sha and Tian Li are in the same town, but Lu Sha's house is in a village in the west of the town, and Tian Li's house is in a village in the east of the town, seven or eight kilometers apart.
I've been to Tian Li's house many times, so I haven't been polite. His mother had just recovered from a serious illness and could not do much. He himself emphasized that he arranged it himself, so his parents, brothers and sisters were also happy and relaxed, occasionally reminding them of customs and rules.
Zhao Xiao is not a self-cooked kind, but he is also a cheerful and generous type. After a while, I got acquainted with Na Yue and Liu Wu's girlfriend.
The layout of the new house was handed over to the three of them, and Tian Li had already bought balloons, streamers, hanging ornaments, etc.
When picking up the bride, the train will stop at a place far away from the bride's house, and then the firecrackers will be fired all the way to welcome the relatives to show excitement, pomp and festivity, until the bride is picked up, the sound of firecrackers has to start again, and then put firecrackers all the way back and get on the train.
When the bride receives the groom's house, there is also a distance to be used, and the father-in-law has to carry the bride on his back, and firecrackers have to be fired all the way.
Some people say that this is done to drive away evil spirits from the underworld and not to interfere with the festivities.
No matter what the reason is, firecrackers can only be more and not less anyway, and they can't be stopped or broken in the whole process, so the demand for firecrackers is particularly large.
"Brother Dian, Cheng Hua, the matter of firecrackers will be handed over to you. Tomorrow you go buy eight boxes of firecrackers, and you go to buy the van at the door. Tian Li said.
"Do you need eight boxes?" Cheng Hua asked.
Tian Li sighed and said: "I'm still worried that the eight boxes are not enough, let's be honest, Lu Sha's family knows my mother's situation, and in the end, even the lottery money has been wiped out, but I have to marry 50,000 yuan, I have to be heavier." ”
I said, "Well, brothers, each of you will give you two boxes, one, two, three, four, five, that is, ten boxes, which should be enough." ”
Wang Dian, Liu Wu, Cheng Hua, and He Wen all nodded.
"That's a good feeling, in this case, the great civilization will drive another loaf of bread to go together. Liu Wu will go tomorrow to buy the corsage bouquet and the like, as well as the ones in the car. ”
"Hey, what about me? You are urging me to come back, why don't you arrange things for me? I asked.
Tian Li slapped me in the chest: "You have a huge task, you will go to Lu Sha's house tomorrow with the people from my family to deliver chickens and fish." Didn't Lusha invite you alone? It's time for you to go, so go and ask, how many of those little red envelopes do you have? I wasn't too embarrassed to ask. ”
The custom is that the day before the wedding, the man's family has to send chickens, pigs, fish and meat to the woman's house. It is said that sending pork means blessings, sending chicken means auspiciousness, sending fish means more than every year, and I don't know the meaning of other things.
Tian Li has more things to do, he has tables, chairs and benches for banquets, and he has to set up a shed at the door when he invites a band, and he has to accompany the chef to buy groceries. We also know that we have to come back to help him after we have completed our mission.
The work efficiency of a few girls was too slow, and the landlord who hit the balloon went to fight. Wang Dian and Liu Wu and I lost our temper respectively, but in the end, the three of them continued to fight the landlord, and the three of us played balloons.
The next day, everything went according to plan, Zhao Xiao and the others continued to decorate the new house, and I followed Tian Li's brothers and sisters and clan relatives to Lu Sha's house.
I know most of Lu Sha's girlfriend group, except for a few of her college classmates.
Feng Jiao was the first to speak: "You are a traitor, didn't Sasha invite you too?" Why did you run to Mighty's side! ”
"Hahaha, actually, I was an undercover agent sent by Sasha in the past, and now I'm here to report the situation."
Lu Sha said: "Pull it down, you are an Infernal Affairs!" ”
At this time, Lu Sha's younger brother Lu Qiao ran to the room and handed me a pack of cigarettes: "Brother Xi, long time no see!" ”
"Xiaoqiao, let's take the college entrance examination next year, remember what I told you before, don't fall in love in your freshman year, and spoil the girls in your school, haha." Lu Sha is several years younger than Lu Sha, but she looks very similar to her sister and is very handsome.
I smiled again and said, "Where is the place to register for favors (red envelopes), I'll pay the fee first!" ”
"Didn't you give it to my sister directly?" Lu Qiao asked.
The classmates all gave red envelopes directly to the parties, but I am not here, and the Lu Sha family also knows me and has come to eat many times.
"I've got to be over there, so I'm a guest, not a brother. Ahem, Sasha, I'm a guest, don't pour me a cup of sugar tea and drink! ”
"! There is a basin of water for washing feet, drink it or not! ”
When she returned to the room, Feng Jiao said: "Rich man, two thousand red envelopes, I heard that you are the one who will send red envelopes tomorrow, remember to send me two more tomorrow!" ”
I put my face out, "No problem, but I have to kiss it first!" ”
"Get out! Stinky you! ”
"Don't make trouble with the two of you, Ah Xi, come here, I have something to tell you." Lusha pulled me aside.
"How's the preparation going over there? I heard that you came back covered in blood yesterday, so it's okay! Lu Sha asked.
"It's okay, don't mention that bad thing, it's unlucky. I'm just going to ask you how much you have to prepare for the little red envelope, and I have a number in my heart. ”
Lu Sha said: "A hundred bags of twelve are enough, all of them are some of my nephews and nephews, and they look at me when they look at me." Fifty is twenty for twenty, and there are many children in my family, and the other ten yuan and twenty yuan are enough for a dozen each. What about me, how many times do I have to get in the past? ”
"Five out of a hundred, ten out of fifty, and the rest are up to you, even if it's not enough, we'll make up for it." These are the words that Tian Li told me.
"Hey, you two are hiding here, and you don't pay attention to the impact, it doesn't matter usually, let others look at and gossip at this time." Lusha's mother ran to say.
"Oh, Mom, I will hook up with him when I study, who in the neighborhood doesn't know? Dali is not jealous, what do you care about others. ”
"Okay, okay, no matter what kind of logic you young people have."
When I saw her mother leave, I said, "Okay, I have to go back soon, I'm afraid Dali won't be able to do it alone." ”
"Well, when he's busy with something and it's inconvenient, you can call me, and if no one answers, call Feng Jiao or Xiaoqiao."
