CHAPTER XXV

"After all these years, you're still like that, haven't changed at all, and you're still so much fun."

"Aren't you the same, you're all from the city, and you still like to do what rural people love to do."

"You've been single for so many years, and you've never thought about finding a daughter-in-law?"

"It's too hard."

"Why are you still like that, is it that hard?"

"I don't know, don't talk about me, let's talk about you! You didn't talk to a friend in college? ”

"No, I didn't do well in the exam, but since I went to college, I have been focusing on my studies, always trying to make up for something."

"You've always loved to learn so much, so after work, you haven't met a suitable one?"

"Yes, we work in the same company, and this time I came back for this."

With that, she took out an invitation from her handbag and handed it to him.

"I'm getting married, you must come then."

"Well, why didn't he come back with you? Is he funny? ”

"The company only allowed one of us to take a few more days off, and he might only be able to come back on the days of the wedding. He also came out of the countryside and suffered a lot, and we can talk to each other. ”

"That's good."

"The date and place are already written on it, you can just go there when you arrive."

"Hmm."

Seeing that the time was not early, the sky was gradually getting dark.

"Then I'll go back first, and remember to be there when you arrive."

"I will."

When she was gone, he packed up the sparrow traps by himself, and then went home with them.

"Who gave this here? This package is really beautiful. ”

"She's back."

At home, just mention "she" to know that it is her, as if a consensus has already been reached.

"I haven't heard from her for so many years, where did she come from?"

"Beijing, these are some of Beijing's specialties that she brought you."

"Why didn't she come to our house? She used to love to run to our house. ”

"I've been here, and you weren't at home when you came, so you put down these gifts and said hello?"

"Although she is from the city, she still thinks about us, but she is such a good girl. So how is she doing now? Did you ask. ”

"It's good, it's not going to get married soon."

As he spoke, he showed the invitation in his hand in front of his mother.

"I'm so old in a flash, I'm going to get married. Then I'll just go, and you don't go. ”

"I promised it, and besides, you are so old, and you have always been in poor health, and it is not convenient to take the car. I don't mean anything else, it was a happy event, and it stands to reason that we should all go, but it's a bit far. ”

"I don't mean anything else, after all these years, I know you can't let her go. Otherwise, you wouldn't be single all this time. One less glance is one less thought. However, it is better to go, and it is also an end. ”

"Look at what you said, it's like life and death, I'm just going to see a wedding banquet."

The day finally came, and he went according to the address on the invitation. There were so many people who came to the wedding banquet that the entire living room of the hotel was not installed, and the banquet was set outside. The people in the city like to be lively so much, but he doesn't feel it at all. He felt that everything around him was so strange, the people around him were so strange, and the things around him were so strange, the only thing that made him not feel strange was his love for her.

The process of the wedding has almost gone through, and the last part is the toast. The toast is usually a very solemn part, which contains the guests' recognition of the newlyweds, as well as the guests' blessings to the newlyweds. Seeing that he was about to be honored at his table, he took a few sips of liquor, he basically didn't drink alcohol before, and almost vomited because he drank in a hurry, but in the end he still held back.

"Then ask this friend to share a story with the newcomer, or send a blessing." The master of ceremonies said

"Remember the story of the tortoise and hare race? I am the tortoise, you are like the rabbit, the reason why there is a race is because I have been waiting for another rabbit to appear, and today the rabbit finally appeared, and my tortoise can also leave the scene with honor. Congratulations. I wish you a hundred years of happiness and grow old together. ”

"Okay, thank you for your story and blessings."

He didn't know what was going on, he just drank there until his mind was numb, and his chest was hot, until the end of the wedding.

After the wedding, he staggered home in the car, and after returning home, he did not fall asleep. Taking advantage of the strength of the wine, he came to the paddy field behind the house and said the words that had been held in his heart for a long time:

"I can't wait for you."

After saying that, he fell to the ground, and all of a sudden, the sky changed from a clear sky to dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and it was not raining. That scene was unusually weird.
