Yang Liu Yiyi Volume, 194
It is about a two-hour drive from Chen Li's house to Wang Jiawei's house, and the driver of the wedding car does not know the road, and there are cute neighbors or relatives on the road who are so happy that they suddenly get motion sickness and have to stop...... All the time taken together is only two hours.
The two villages separated by the short two-hour journey were originally unrelated, but now they were connected, and a young man at one end married a girl from the other. Love aside, it seems that marriage is really a magic for young girls, it makes girls change their identities, it suddenly imposes the most intimate ties in society on two strange families. All the girls sitting in this convoy of relatives are silent on the surface and turbulent in their hearts......
When she first arrived at the man's house, after taking turns to experience strangers, sincere or polite praise and blessings from strangers in various relationships, Chen Li quickly felt exhausted. Wang Jiawei suddenly became the ruler of the family when he experienced half of the wedding, and all the problems were waiting for him to decide, and he was entangled in all kinds of trivial matters. Before he sat down on the stool in the wedding room, he was called out to count whether the night's return gifts were enough, "Can't you even count them?" Wang Jiawei couldn't help but leave a word of complaint before leaving.
With a few hours to go before the most important dinner, the people who gathered together at first finally found a place in this wedding: someone built a "mahjong wall"; Some people are addicted to TV dramas that are okay and right; Someone ran into an old friend who held back his stomach for intimate words but never met face...... Chen Li finally got rid of everyone's curiosity about the bride, and after she cleared up, she instantly collapsed on the marriage bed and said to her three bridesmaids: "I suddenly understand how hard it is to be a star!" ”
The four of them laughed tiredly, and were about to drink a glass of water and gossip, when Father Shi rushed to the door of the room and asked, "Where is Xiao Wang?" Chen Li sat up, got out of bed with her stomach covered, walked outside the room and said to Father Shi, "Tell him to go and get wine and water, what's the matter?" Father Shi smashed his mouth, "The relatives from my mother's house are sitting outside, and no one is calling for a glass of water." Jiaojiao's mother is chatting with everyone, I want to say hello first, help entertain me, and save a moment of mistakes! Chen Li explained to Father Shi where the things were, and finally pulled Father Shi and said, "Uncle, you are tired of being busy today!" Father Shi patted Chen Li's hand holding his arm and said, "It's okay, what's the difference between you and Jiaojiao!" With that, he ran out.
Chen Li turned back to the room and saw three friends snuggled in the corner of the marriage bed, not knowing what they were talking about. She stepped forward and hit Shi Jiaojiao, which made Shi Jiaojiao look surprised, "What's wrong with me?" When he raised his eyes, he found that the bride was full of tears, and everyone was frightened, and they were afraid of alarming a room of relatives, so they hurriedly asked her what was wrong. Chen Li wiped away her tears and said with a smile: "I'm going to beat you!" Shi Jiaojiao nodded weakly, pulled her to sit down and said, "Okay, good, you are the biggest today!" ”
Chen Li took off her shoes and climbed behind the three of them, holding a heart-shaped pillow embroidered with a doll by Hong Yanyan, and after confirming that the person playing poker on the sofa next to her didn't pay attention to them, she looked at Shi Jiaojiao and said, "Hey, it's okay now, you two can tell me what's going on with Teacher Tang!" Shi Jiaojiao subconsciously shrank her neck and whispered: "It's too small to be small, it's still been said." The sixth child pushed the happy quilt towards the center of the bed, so that Chen Li could lean more comfortably, and looked at Shi Jiaojiao with his eyes and said seriously: "I also think it's strange, you and Xia Lei are weird." ”
Shi Jiaojiao turned her head to stare at Xia Lei and said, "It's all your fault!" Xia Lei pursed her lips and said, "I'm just kidding, who knew that these two people were so serious." Chen Li bounced up, quickly covered her stomach again, and said with a smile: "It's really something!" Shi Jiaojiao sighed as if surrendering and turned her head, Xia Lei coughed lightly and said, "I recruited it?" "Whatever you want!" Xia Lei trembled and talked about that little thing, Chen Li and the sixth child's jaws were about to drop, and they couldn't close their mouths for a long time and looked at Xia Lei stupidly.
"Actually, it's just a small accident!" Xia Lei was a little embarrassed, and used Shi Jiaojiao's words. Chen Li turned Shi Jiaojiao's face over, squeezed her cheeks and said, "Is this your first kiss?" Shi Jiaojiao's originally good face immediately turned red. The sixth stretched forward, slapped Chen Li's hand and said, "Don't pinch her!" Mouth to mouth is the first kiss! Taking advantage of Chen Li's inattention, Shi Jiaojiao shook her head to break free from her restraints, she was already very unhappy in her heart, and suppressed her anger and said, "Can you stop talking about this!" ”
Xia Lei sat on the side with a guilty face, and when Shi Jiaojiao's eyes came, she looked back pitifully and said, "I was wrong, I went too far." Shi Jiaojiao rolled her eyes, looked at the snow-white ceiling newly hung for this wedding for a while, lowered her head and said disgustedly: "I reluctantly forgive you." After speaking, he looked at the other two, then returned to Xia Lei's face and said, "Don't you have something to say when the four of you are there?" Now it's just right. ”
The four of them tightened together, Xia Lei sat on her knees, clenched her fists on her thighs, looked at the other three and said, "I'm ready to study abroad." Chen Li and Lao Liu looked confused, while Shi Jiaojiao was shocked and puzzled, "Why?" Didn't you say that you didn't go out until you didn't do well in the college entrance examination? Now that I'm in such a good university, why? Xia Lei smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, I don't know why." In fact...... I just want to go out and see, right now, and live the days I have been looking forward to and regaining...... Didn't want to wait any longer. ”
Shi Jiaojiao speculated a lot: how her decision came about; the attitude of the Xia family; Whether the biological mother also played an unknown role, and so on. But she looked at Xia Lei's sad and determined eyes, and swallowed all the questions back. The four of them were so quiet that they aroused the curiosity of the people next to them, and they cast their eyes while drawing cards. Xia Lei bit her lip and forced a smile, "Don't be like this!" It's our D-day! Chen Li took a deep breath, don't look over, I don't know what to say.
"Lili......" Xia Lei reached out to hold Chen Li's bare knees, and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you, thank God, I can at least watch you get married, you don't know how important this is, for me." Chen Li pulled the corners of her mouth to look at Xia Lei, and waved her hand for a while, "Don't talk this nonsense, I just want to know when you will come back!" Shi Jiaojiao and the sixth child also looked at Xia Lei, Xia Lei stammered and stroked the hair in front of her forehead, "Yet, I haven't thought far yet." Maybe soon, read a book, three or five years ......" Shi Jiaojiao pursed her lips and lowered her eyes, "I haven't thought about coming back." Xia Lei's slender neck put on a depressed posture and did not refute.
Maybe there is something hidden in my heart, at the beginning of the wedding, as soon as the lights hit my body, Chen Li, who was held by her father, had tears in her eyes, which was seen by good friends. When Chen's father said in Mandarin with a thick accent, "I handed over my daughter to you!" Wang Jiawei bit his lip, while Xia Lei and Lao Liu lived on each other's hands and cried. Only Shi Jiaojiao is Mumu, and she is almost stupid to watch all this.
All the time flew through her mind, like a phantom of a montage picture. This girl on stage, my girl, her joys and sorrows, dear or rude, are all vivid. Shi Jiaojiao's hand hidden under the dining table clutched the corner of her skirt tightly, trying her best to stop herself from crying. Shi Jiaojiao looked at the stage with round eyes, and the sound of Xia Lei and Fei Fei snorting came into her ears.
Under the dark blue starry sky tonight, there is Chen Li's happy smiling face holding a wedding bouquet, and Xia Lei's beautiful back with her ponytail slightly sideways, which is an indelible memory in Shi Jiaojiao's eyes. It's a wedding, but it's also a parting.
Early the next morning, Father Shi called an acquaintance who drove the bouncing to send Xia Lei to the town. Grandma A Qian called and said that Aunt Xia Lei was here and asked her to go home to entertain guests. The blue little bouncing put Xia Lei in her stomach and walked away quietly, and Shi Jiaojiao and Lao Liu still stood on the side of the road in the posture they used to say "goodbye". "Jiaojiao, do you have a feeling of 'only the two of us left'?" The sixth child hugged Shi Jiaojiao's arm and whispered, Shi Jiaojiao shrugged her shoulders and pulled her to the house.
Shi's father and wife were loosening the soil in the field next to the bamboo forest behind the house, Shi Jiaojiao and the sixth child had nothing to do and wanted to help, but the small field was not enough for people to step on, so the two had to stand aside and talk. Father Shi asked the sixth child how the business of her shoe factory was this year, and the sixth shook his head, "I don't know, I can't remember to ask and no one will tell me." Mother Shi took out a brick from the soil and threw it, saying, "Looking at the situation in our factory this year, it is estimated that any factory will not have a good time." Father Shi picked up his hoe and replied: "It's said that the economy is not good." ”
On the topic of "factory", Shi Jiaojiao felt her blankness, and forced to find an entry point to interject, saying: "Will Lili go back to work in the factory in the future?" Shi's mother was amused and said, "Silly girl, she will definitely not go to work for a while after she has a child." Even if you want to make money in the future, you are looking for something to do at your husband's side! The woman moved from place to place, and continued, "You will be the same in the future, far away." "Oh." Shi Jiaojiao squatted beside the sixth child, playing with a mud ball over and over in her hand, and secretly thought: It's not just the two of us left, sooner or later, there will be no one left here.
Hearing this, Father Shi stopped what he was doing, supported his body with a hoe and said, "Life in the village is actually getting better and better. Look at the growing fame of the resort, near Fei Fei's hometown, aren't there people who are engaged in farmhouses? The sixth dragged his cheeks, blinked, and said, "Really, I don't know." I haven't been back to my hometown since I moved to town, and my new grandma doesn't seem to like us going back very much. ”
Father Shi pointed into the distance, and then said to himself: "Really, you and Jiaojiao can ride around." I heard that your grandfather Chen's forest farm is also taken advantage of. "Two girls at the same time"? "Who, that forest farm has a lot of memories from my childhood! Shi Jiaojiao thought for a moment and asked, "Isn't the Lili family going to be developed?" Father Shi sneered, said the collective economic transformation and land transfer that he didn't understand very well, and finally concluded: "In short, your Grandpa Chen has begun to worry, how will life live after retirement!" Shi Jiaojiao scratched her head and discussed with the sixth child to go to the forest farm for a walk in the afternoon.
