Chapter 64: Respect

The night before the wedding, according to American customs, the groom is generally given a "farewell to singleness" carnival party, which is generally prepared by the best man, which means that this is the last single night you can indulge, and you must be dedicated to your wife after marriage. And the best man to organize this party, the main task is to be optimistic about the groom, and he must show up on time at the wedding scene the next day!

And Lei Rongbiao's wedding did not have a groomsman at all, so this step was omitted, and Lei Rongbiao slept at home instead.

However, this is also good and avoids a lot of trouble. Because, in the United States, Las Vegas is the holy place for the "farewell to single" carnival party, and it is common for the bachelorette party before the wedding to be held in that drunken place, most of which are extremely ridiculous and drunk, only to wake up and find that the groom is gone.

Lei Rongbiao still slept like thunder as usual, which made Chen Jiaju miserable.

Chen Jiaju, who was tossing and turning on the bed, suddenly heard the sound of a roaring motorcycle exhaust pipe downstairs.

Anyway, he couldn't sleep, so Chen Jiaju put on his shoes and stuck his head out of the window to look downstairs in the alley.

It didn't matter if you looked at it, it almost scared Chen Jiaju out of a cold sweat.

There are two groups of motorcyclists racing in the back alleys, and Chen Jiaju, as a police officer, has seen a lot of this kind of thing in Hong Kong.

However, the American Motorcycle Party, which is now under Chen Jiaju's nose, has played a flower.

Since the back alley was full of cars on both sides, the bear children had to ride their motorcycles to "off-road" the cars on both sides.

This is not only because of the weight of the motorcycle and the rider, the front and rear glass of the car that is crossed must be shattered, and the roof is deformed.

The lengthened Lincoln borrowed by Lei Rongbiao is among them, if it is broken, it is a small matter to lose money, tomorrow is Lei Rongbiao's wedding, and where to borrow the roof of the car in a hurry?

Chen Jiaju originally had the intention to wake up Lei Rongbiao to take the idea, but Lei Rongbiao slept too dead to wake up at all.

Seeing that the time was urgent, Chen Jiaju didn't care about getting dressed, just wearing a hurdle vest and shorts, he turned over and climbed out of the window, went down the fire ladder, jumped from the third floor to the middle of the back alley, and overturned the motorcycle that was about to run over the lengthened Lincoln at the last moment.

The rider of that motorcycle, a young girl, fell hard all at once.

Chen Jiaju said: "I'm sorry. However, I can't help it, my uncle will get married tomorrow and need to use this car. Are you okay? ”

The young girl did not reach the finish line, of course, losing the race and losing the prize money.

The bells and whistles of the young girl were about to mess with Chen Jiaju when a siren sounded and a police car was whizzing down the alley.

The group of bells and whistles of the Chinese motorcycle party suddenly dispersed, and in the blink of an eye, they fled completely.

The police car stopped next to Chen Jiaju, and a fat white policeman opened the car door, "squeezed" out of the co-pilot, moved to Chen Jiaju's side, and asked, "Hey, are you a resident in this neighborhood?" ”

Chen Jiaju said: "I am a tourist from Hong Kong, and I am also a police officer. ”

The policeman asked, "Where are your documents?" Where do you live? Take us back to get our papers. ”

Chen Jiaju took two policemen, one white and one black, to climb the stairs and return to Lei Rongbiao's house.

The police were not as gentle as Chen Jiaju, and knocked on the door with the force that almost demolished it, waking up Lei Rongbiao.

After checking Chen Jiaju's passport and police officer ID, the police handed the documents back to Chen Jiaju, and his tone was much soothed, "Although you are a Hong Kong policeman, you have no law enforcement power in the United States, so if you encounter a crime, you must call the police as soon as possible, instead of being reckless, understand?" ”

- You see, even the American policemen who have never met can see at a glance that Chen Jiaju is a guy who likes to be reckless.

Chen Jiaju nodded like a chicken pecking rice and said, "Understood!" Got it! ”

……

The next day, Mr. Lei's wedding took place in the corner of a golf course.

Also with green grass, it's a little cheaper to rent than in the park.

While helping Lei Rongbiao receive guests, Chen Jiaju asked various questions, "Second uncle, why have there only been so many guests?" Moreover, the space you rent is so small, can you sit down? ”

Lei Rongbiao said: "In Hong Kong, ordinary people can easily invite hundreds of people and hold dozens of tables of banquets when they get married, which is not popular in the United States. Because Americans are very mobile, it is good to invite dozens of relatives and friends to get married, and to invite relatives and friends who live in different places to participate, the newlyweds need to cover the accommodation and travel expenses. Americans get engaged before they get married, and then they give out invitations to neighbors and close friends who live nearby, as well as relatives who live far away. ”

Chen Jiaju said: "But why didn't I see a few Chinese guests? ”

Lei Rongbiao said: "My friends are afraid of getting involved with black gangsters and causing trouble, so when the gift money is delivered, people will not come." ”

The guests of the wedding were all black, dressed in suits and leather shoes, but Chen Jiaju was wearing jeans and shirts, which looked a little too casual.

Fang Yanping came, sitting at a table and drinking a drink.

Chen Jiaju walked over, sat next to Fang Yanping, and asked, "Miss Fang, you came alone, Liangkun, oh, no, what about Mr. Lin?" ”

Fang Yanping said: "Brother Kun is going to see a martial arts performance, so ......"

Chen Jiaju said: "Miss Fang, in fact, my uncle's supermarket is not expensive, and it is definitely cost-effective to buy it. ”

Fang Yanping said: "Okay, then I'll buy it." ”

Chen Jiaju didn't hear what Fang Yanping said, and was still boasting there: "This supermarket is in a good location...... What, you said you bought? ”

Fang Yanping seemed to have made up her mind, and said heavily: "I bought it." ”

Chen Jiaju hurriedly reported the good news to Lei Rongbiao.

Lei Rongbiao also left the guests, came to Fang Yanping's table, and said: "Since Miss Fang is so refreshing, then we can simply trade directly, and even the lawyer's fees can be saved." ”

Fang Yanping's eyes lit up and said, "Okay, the lawyer's fee will cost thousands of dollars, and it will be tens of thousands of dollars in Hong Kong dollars." ”

……

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the wedding began.

The pastor entered the arena first and stood in the middle.

The bridegroom, Lei Rongbiao, entered the arena and stood to the right of the pastor facing the guests.

Chen Jiaju followed Lei Rongbiao, like a best man, but he didn't dare to call himself the best man, for fear of being beaten to death. - How can there be a best man who does not wear formal clothes?

Then Marilyn's group of black bridesmaids entered, facing the guests and standing to the left of the pastor.

There were also two little black pot friends with cute faces, the little boy holding a small pillow with a diamond ring on it, and the little girl holding a small flower basket and sprinkling flower petals, but halfway through, the little girl ran to find one of her mother's bridesmaids.

When all the bridesmaids were on their feet, the person in charge of the venue gestured to the DJ and the music of "Bridal March" sounded.

Extended Lincoln drove over, the car door opened, and Marilyn, dressed in her wedding dress and holding flowers, walked out.

Chen Jiaju whispered to Lei Rongbiao: "Auntie's wedding dress is so beautiful!" ”

Lei Rongbiao also whispered: "Nonsense, it's very expensive." The most important thing in a wedding is the bride's wedding dress, almost all bridal dresses in the United States are bought, and few people will rent them. After the wedding, the bride will store the dress as a special gift for her daughter's wedding. An ordinary wedding dress costs two or three hundred dollars, and a mid-range wedding dress costs five hundred and one thousand. Your aunt's wedding dress cost five hundred dollars, do you think it's beautiful? ”

Walking to about a meter or two away from Lei Rongbiao, Marilyn stopped.

Lei Rongbiao greeted him, led Marilyn to the pastor, and stood up.

The presiding priest read a short piece of advice about marriage, and then the two made their wedding vows, and Lei Rongbiao and Marilyn made vows to each other.

The marriage vow is: "From now on, no matter whether the circumstances are good or bad, whether the family is rich or poor, whether they are sick or not, they vow to love each other and never be separated until death." ”

After taking the oath, the two exchanged rings, which they wore on their ring fingers.

It's very interesting that because of the wedding on the golf course, it is estimated that someone has scored a goal, so suddenly there is a very opportune cheer, and the guests are stunned for a moment, and then they also cheer - and a group of cheerleaders came out of thin air.

After the ceremony, everyone was hungry and everyone began to drink and eat.

After eating and drinking, it's time to sing and dance.

As a result, rapping, the most popular cultural form among blacks, is essential.

Chen Jiaju also shook his head and listened for a long time, but his brows gradually wrinkled.

Chen Jiaju asked Lei Rongbiao: "In addition to swearing, the most I hear them say is respect." Why do hip-hop artists always emphasize respect? ”

"When you were studying English in Hong Kong, what did respect mean? ”

Chen Jiaju said: "Respect. ”

"Black respect is not just a literal sense of 'respect,' Lei Rongbiao said. In our words, it should be 'to give face'. However, in terms of tone, it is a little more ferocious. ”

The reason why Chen Jiaju asked this question was that last night, before the motorcycle party left, they said to him, "You even give me no respect!" ”

If Lei Rongbiao and Chen Jiaju understand Northeast dialect, then it is actually easy to explain - "What are you looking at, what are you doing".

It is only in a jungle society that is extremely insecure that people instinctively overreact to other people's actions and words, because this can give others the impression of "not being provoked".

Chen Jiaju asked helplessly: "Are these people so violent?" ”

"Although blacks make up only 13 percent of the total population of the United States, more than 50 percent of the victims of homicides in the United States are black, and blacks account for 94 percent of the total number of murderers," Lei said. ”

Chen Jiaju said: "I'm not talking about black people, but about those Chinese children last night. ”

Lei Rongbiao said: "No father has a child, that's it!" Actually, you're like that yourself, but you don't think so! ”
