Marriage (2)
The two faced the national flag and the national emblem and solemnly read: "We voluntarily become husband and wife, and from today onwards, we will jointly shoulder the responsibilities and obligations entrusted to us by marriage: filial piety to parents, teaching children, mutual respect and love, mutual trust and encouragement, mutual understanding and mutual concession, mutual affection, and love for a lifetime!" In the future, no matter in good times or bad, rich or poor, healthy or sick, young or old, we will be in the same boat through thick and thin, share weal and woe, share weal and woe, and become lifelong partners! We will keep today's oath, and we will definitely be able to keep today's oath! ”
In the solemn and sacred ceremony, Mu Qingcheng realized the responsibility and responsibility contained in marriage and family. She put aside all distractions and became Cheng Yijie's wife wholeheartedly.
The two each held a red marriage certificate and walked out of the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
"It's still early, how about we go for a ride?" Cheng Yijie proposed.
Mu Qingcheng said yes. So, the car drove out along the road outside the Civil Affairs Bureau, all the way to a nearby winding mountain road. In May, the sun was shining, the sky was high and refreshing, and the fresh air on the mountain was blowing in his face, Mu Qingcheng took a deep breath and felt refreshed.
When he arrived at the mountain, the maple trees planted on both sides of the mountain road caused Mu Qingcheng to be surprised. Cheng Yijie parked the car on the side of the road, and the two got out of the car. Those maple leaves turned red, one by one, one by one, and the colors were extraordinarily bright. The autumn leaves stretch out in the sunlight, and they seem to bloom with endless joy and the brilliance of life. She sighed lightly, and for the first time understood the words of her predecessors, "Who is drunk with frost in Xiaolai?" Artistic conception.
"Do you remember what your cousin said on the back mountain of Nanfeng Guqin Cultural Village?" Cheng Yijie reached out and clasped her hand, "She said, the throbbing of spring and the vigor of summer are all perched on the red leaves in May. ”
"Yes." Mu Qingcheng looked at him, and then, she quietly leaned her head on his shoulder, "She also said that even if the mountains are all over the place, I don't want anything else." ”
The two of them looked up at the fiery maple leaves together, the color of life, red with warmth and warmth, and red with hope.
Mu Qingcheng thought that after getting the marriage certificate, Cheng Yijie would be eager to exercise his rights as a husband. However, Cheng Yijie did not propose to let Mu Qingcheng move to him. Because the two of them were very busy, they didn't even have time to spend the night together after that, so when they set off for Australia, they had not yet become an official husband and wife, and marriage did not change anything for Mu Qingcheng except for getting a marriage certificate.
Although she invited the wedding in advance, Mu Qingcheng was very low-key, and it was not until the day before the vacation that she distributed the wedding cake gift box to all departments of the unit, and did not stay long, and left after a few polite words with everyone, as for how they would talk behind their backs, she didn't want to pay attention to it.
The people in her own department, Mu Qingcheng can't dodge, especially Li Yanshan and Shi Qi, there are a lot of gossip questions, and she can only try to satisfy their curiosity. Even Yu Qingsheng came over to join in the fun, said a lot of blessings, and at the end he said coldly: "This marriage is so sudden, shouldn't it be a marriage for a son?" ”
"The director is mighty, and he asked what we didn't dare to ask." Shi Qi added confusion to the side, "I think nine times out of ten this is the case. ”
"There's no such thing at all." Mu Qingcheng blushed and explained, "It's just that my mother-in-law is more anxious, and she chooses the date by herself, and we can only meet the wishes of the old man." ”
"Your mother-in-law must be in a hurry to hold her grandson." Li Yanshan also said, "Even if you don't get married with respect, you will have a baby soon." ”
Mu Qingcheng didn't deny it this time, just hung his head slightly, shyly and silent. She understands that after the wedding, having a baby is about to be on the agenda. Although she is only 23 years old, she is still young and not mentally prepared to be a mother at all. But the mother-in-law has been looking forward to her grandson for so long, and it is impossible not to fulfill her wishes. Now that she is married, she must try to play the role of wife and daughter-in-law.
"Then I wish you an early birth to a precious son." Yu Qingsheng said with a smile.
"The wealthy family values the birth of a son the most, I wish you a man in one fell swoop." Li Yanshan also said.
"Come on, you must fight." As a man, Shi Qi is like a nosy aunt, "If the first child can't give birth to a son, it will be more troublesome, and you have to give birth until you give birth to a son." Don't be like Taiwanese star Xiao S, who gave birth to three daughters in a row. ”
"I have a relative in the Philippines who married a rich man and actually gave birth to 8 daughters in succession." Li Yanshan also followed Shi Qi's words, "It is said that the mother-in-law had to give birth to a son, and when she gave birth to the eighth daughter, the mother-in-law finally gave up, saying that the task was completed and there was no need to have another child." But now that her daughters have grown up and married, she is also blessed, with a lot of daughters and sons-in-law, and the stars hold the moon. The last time I went to the Philippines to play, during the dinner, every son-in-law came in and kissed her face, and I had a very good relationship with her. ”
Mu Qingcheng listened to one head and two big, such a topic made her extremely embarrassed, and the problem of wealthy men was also something she was worried about, and now that it was put on the table, she also heard the terrifying case of giving birth to eight daughters in a row, and she was disturbed.
"You two don't be alarmist." Yu Qingsheng couldn't listen to it anymore, "Not all rich people are patriarchal, and daughters are intimate little padded jackets, how good." Besides, if everyone doesn't want daughters and only gives birth to sons, wouldn't they be singles all over the world, and human beings would not be able to reproduce. ”
Li Yanshan and Shi Qi both laughed.
Mu Qingcheng really couldn't stand it, and under the pretext of going to the calligraphy and painting restoration room, he got rid of these people who didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement. As soon as she walked out of the office, Yu Qingsheng chased after her and shouted, "Xiao Mu-"
Mu Qingcheng stopped her steps and looked back at Yu Qingsheng, she knew that he had something to say, and it was likely to be related to Gu Hengyu.
Sure enough, Yu Qingsheng sighed lightly, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped, and only then did he sigh: "Some people are really happy and some are worried, Mr. Cheng is proud of the beauty." Poor Xiao Gu, recently I have been borrowing wine to drown my sorrows, I also accompanied him to drink the night before yesterday, he was drunk, yesterday morning I saw that he did not come to work, called him, he said he couldn't get up, let me help him ask for a leave. This is the first time in the world, he has always been active and motivated, how could he not go to work because he was drunk. ”
Mu Qingcheng was sad in her heart, but she couldn't do anything about emotional matters. Yu Qingsheng's words, she was speechless.
"You don't have any pressure, I don't mean anything else, I just feel quite emotional, I want to talk to you. After all, I wanted to match you at the beginning. Yu Qingsheng sighed again, "Xiao Gu has already set off for Sydney today, and he said that although he is in pain, since he is going to travel to Australia during this time, he will still attend your wedding and send blessings." He has to be generous, and he can't make you think that he is small and can't be a lover, but he can also be a friend. Go get busy, I wish you happiness. ”
After Yu Qingsheng finished speaking, he turned around and left, leaving Mu Qingcheng with a faint trace of melancholy.
The next day, on the afternoon of May 28, Mu Qingcheng and Cheng Yijie boarded a flight from Xilin to Sydney. The plane took off at 14:40 and arrived at Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport at 09:25 am on the 29th. Although the first-class cabin can be slept on his back, due to being in a completely unfamiliar environment, coupled with the excitement, anticipation, nervousness of the wedding, and the feeling of yearning for the future married life and vaguely worrying about it, Mu Qingcheng almost didn't sleep all night, and he was very tired after getting off the plane.
Zhu Manru came to pick her up in person, saw Mu Qingcheng, gave her a big hug, and smiled from ear to ear. "I knew that sooner or later you would become my daughter-in-law. Oops, my face is not very good, I am very tired from flying. During this time in Australia, I want to take care of your body so that I can give birth to a healthy and smart baby. ”
As soon as they met, they talked about having children, Mu Qingcheng was a little surprised, and then laughed at himself. "Thank you, Mom, for bothering you." She whispered.
Zhu Manru hugged her with satisfaction, and said to Cheng Yijie: "The journey has been tiring for the past two days, and you have to be busy for the wedding, which is not suitable for making people, you have to consider it from the perspective of eugenics and parenting, and be modest." ”
is so open-mouthed, Mu Qingcheng is so ashamed that she has nowhere to put her face, she is still a yellow flower girl, but she is said to be "experienced in a hundred battles".
Cheng Yijie is calm as usual, he has long been accustomed to his mother's style. "Your son is naturally measured, and you don't need to worry about it. Also, the matter of having a child depends on fate, you can't be in a hurry, you don't talk about this all day long, we are under too much pressure, but we won't be able to give birth. ”
"How can it not be born, don't talk nonsense." Zhu Manru finally stopped the topic, "Okay, go home, your grandparents, father and sister are all looking forward to seeing the new daughter-in-law." ”
The Cheng family has a special driver, and on the way home from the airport, Zhu Manru sat next to Mu Qingcheng affectionately in the car, asking long and short questions, but leaving Cheng Yijie aside.
The mother-in-law's excessive enthusiasm made Mu Qingcheng feel at a loss, especially when she remembered what Li Yanshan said, her relatives in the Philippines gave birth to eight daughters in a row, Mu Qingcheng felt a slight tremor all over her body, could such a fate also befall her? She was depressed, but Zhu Manru was talking eloquently, so she had to cheer up and pretend to be smiling to deal with it.
Cheng Yijie's grandparents settled in Sydney, and his parents also lived in Sydney for more than half of the year, and Australia also had a huge family business for the Cheng family.
Winter is already in Sydney, with the average winter maximum temperature in June said to be just 17 degrees, but this week's mild weather is more akin to early May or late April. Zhu Manru bluntly said that it is a beautiful thing to do, so that the newlyweds will not be frozen when they take wedding photos and hold weddings outdoors.
