Chapter 17 Wedding Anniversary

August 28th.

Blue sky and white clouds, sunny and shining.

Today is the 25th anniversary of my parents' marriage.

A day of great significance.

Fifty years of marriage is called a "golden wedding", and twenty-five years is equivalent to half a golden wedding.

Father Chen Gang was very concerned about this day, and specially asked the company for a day off, planning to accompany his wife He Li for a day to take a set of wedding photos to spend this meaningful day.

When they got married more than 20 years ago, the country's economic development was average, and the residents were generally not very wealthy, that is, Shanghai, the city with the best economic development, more than 20 years ago, there were not many newlyweds, they had extra money, and they were extravagant enough to take a set of wedding photos.

Take a cheap indoor wedding photo at most.

Now is a new era, life is getting better and better, all kinds of wedding photo studios are blooming everywhere, but they are no longer young, Chen Gang proposed to take a set of wedding photos, but also to make up for regrets and commemorate the beauty of the past.

He thought that He Li would be very happy with this proposal, and agreed with anticipation.

Unexpectedly, He Li poured a basin of cold water on his head.

He Li sneered and said, "Heh, wedding photos? If it weren't for my son, I would have been with you for twenty-five years? I've divorced you a long time ago, and you think I still love you? ”

Chen Gang sweated slightly on his forehead, and said with embarrassment: "Wife, twenty-five years have passed since that incident, why do you still remember it?" I've forgotten about her, can't you turn the page? ”

"Humph! If you are forgetful, it doesn't mean that I am forgetful, what you did to be sorry for me, I will always remember it in my heart! ”

He Li gritted her teeth, her eyes shot cold, and her face was full of hatred.

"This ......"

Chen Gang shook his head, he didn't expect that the little fork in the road he took when he was young would be so hated by He Li, and the two almost divorced because of that matter.

Of course, Chen Gang knew that what he did was indeed a bit excessive, he desperately admitted his mistake at that time, tried his best to redeem it, and later became a good man who took care of his family and wife, and tried his best to make up for it.

But...... Twenty-five years have passed, He Li still hasn't forgiven him, and has transferred all her love to her son.

Now listen to the tone of her voice, and look at her cold attitude towards taking wedding photos.

Chen Gang's heart cooled.

Whispered, "Wife, what ...... Wedding photos, we don't take them anymore? I paid a deposit of more than 8,000 yuan. "I thought He Li would be pleasantly surprised, but now I'm worried about how to get the money back?

"Photo, of course you have to take it, but the main thing is that I take a parent-child photo with my son, and you can accompany you."

As a woman, why wouldn't He Li want to take wedding photos? She's just so tired of someone that she doesn't want to take pictures with him.

"Okay, okay."

Chen Gang was overjoyed and hurriedly made arrangements.

……

On the morning of the 28th.

Pudong Bund Photography Base, a scenic place near the sea.

There is the sea, there is a sandy beach, there are specialized yachts.

Chen Jin's family of three came here to take a set of wedding photos.

With the help of the makeup artist, He Li put on heavy makeup and put on a set of white wedding dresses, she held the skirt with her hands, and the long skirt mopped the floor.

"Mom, you are so beautiful today, the most beautiful mother in the world."

Chen Jin, who changed into a crisp suit, praised with a smile.

In fact, He Li is 50 years old this year, and no matter how well she is maintained, she looks like a woman in her forties.

The body is saggy, the skin is dull, and a trace of crow's feet appears at the corners of the eyes.

However, the most attractive thing about her is the mature and intellectual temperament that she exudes, which not only makes people feel a strong affinity, but also does not dare to get too close, as if there is a kind of majesty.

It is this unique temperament that makes He Li, who has an average appearance, also exudes eye-catching charm.

Chen Jin called this "the world of mothers".

This is also the professional aura she has accumulated over decades of working in the tax office.

And after some careful dressing up by the makeup artist, the current mother has returned to the state of her twenties and thirties when she was young, and she is indeed very beautiful.

"Look at your silly boy's sweet mouth, you know how to make my mother happy."

Chen Jin's sycophant made He Li giggle, very useful, and his finger clicked on the door of his head.

"Mom, what my son said is the truth, if my son wants to find a daughter-in-law in the future, he will find a mother like you, and if you can't find it, you will be beaten for life." Chen Jinhan said with a face, it was another sycophant.

"Looking for mom like this, okay, mom will arrange a blind date for you tomorrow." He Li said with a smile.

"Okay, I don't want it like my mother."

……

"Laugh one."

"Laugh again."

"Three, two, one...... Good! ”

The photographer holding a DSLR camera half-crouched on the ground took multiple sets of photos at different angles.

Among them are the wedding photos of He Li and Chen Gang.

However, the husband and wife only took a few photos together, and He Li impatiently pushed Chen Gang aside and called Chen Jin over: "Go away, go away, I want to take a few more photos with my son."

Then Chen Jin was dragged by his mother, changed a few sets of clothes, took more than a dozen sets of photos, left his father Chen Gang aside, and occasionally took a family photo.

Chen Jin, who was a little tired, had to look at his father who was not far away, and said to He Li: "Mom, you can take a few more photos with your father, today is mainly for you to take photos with your father."

Holding his arm, He Li, who was smiling at the photographer, suddenly said with a disgusted face:

"Your dad is old and ugly, it just ruins my image, so I don't take pictures with him!"

Chen Jin smiled bitterly: "Mom, Dad, he's very handsome, okay, Dad is the best match for you."

"Tell him to get out, my son is the most handsome in the universe, don't take pictures with him!" He Li glanced at the side of her young son's face, three or four points of her husband's youthful appearance, and her head couldn't help but lean on his shoulder.

"Okay~"

Chen Jin was a little speechless, in fact, his father Chen Gang was much more handsome than himself when he was young, even if he is now fifty years old, he is still more handsome among middle-aged people.

After some dressing up, it is not much worse than yourself.

Due to the genetics of his mother He Li, his appearance has been discounted.

But his mother held on to him, and Chen Jin felt that his hands were sore.

……

After the wedding photo shoot.

When I went home in the evening, I bought a bunch of good dishes, my father Chen Gang cooked it himself, and Chen Jin helped to make a table full of sumptuous dishes.

After dinner.

Chen Jin took out the "gift" he had prepared.

"Mom, this is my gift to you, I hope you like it."

Chen Jin handed out a delicately packaged silk brocade box, put it in front of He Li, and motioned to her, "Mom, you can open it and take a look."

Then he took out an item from his jacket pocket casually, put it in front of Chen Gang and said, "Dad, this is a gift from you."

"Wow, it's so beautiful~!"

Opening the box, He Li let out a cry of surprise, her eyes lit up, carefully took out the pearl necklace inside, put it on her neck, admired it for a while and asked, "Son, where did you buy this necklace and how much did it cost?"

"Mom, do you like it?" Chen Jin asked with a smile.

"Yes, mom likes it very much." He Li stroked the pearls on the necklace and couldn't put it down, looked up and asked, "Son, this must have cost a lot of money, right?"

"It didn't cost much, Mom, you just like it."

Chen Gang next to him said appreciatively: "Wife, this necklace is very suitable for you." As soon as he put on the pearl necklace, he felt that his wife was radiant and extravagant, and his temperament had been upgraded to another level.

With anticipation on his face, he looked at his son's gift to him—a watch.

"It shouldn't be worse than my wife's pearl necklace, right?"

He took his watch and put it in his hand to look at it.

On the front of the dial, there is nothing special, and the style is ordinary.

The carbon fiber back shell and tungsten gold bracelet are made of solid materials.

"It should be a Cartier, Rolex, or Armani watch, right?"

Chen Gang looked at the back cover of the watch and saw four letters: WIKA.

"What brand is this? Why haven't I heard of this brand? ”

Suddenly.

An electric light flashed in Chen Gang's mind, and three words came out: copycat watch.

A domestic knock-off watch?

There is no packaging, the brand is unfamiliar, the workmanship is exquisite but not distinctive, what else can it be except for domestic copycat watches?

Chen Gang helplessly glanced at his son Chen Jin next to him.

He looked at his radiant wife, He Li.

He smiled bitterly and gloomily.

Secretly, why is the gap between people so big?

Her mother and my father, do you want to treat them so differently?

But he didn't say anything, solemnly put away the watch, and said with a smile: "Okay, I like this watch very much."

Since he was a child, there have been only a handful of gifts from his son, even if the gift given by his son is not very valuable and is a so-called knockoff, but with his son's heart in it, he likes it very much.
