Chapter 001: Chance
With the sound of four firecrackers, the welcoming team arrived at the entrance of Huaxi Village.
Today is a double auspicious day, January 20, 90, the 24th day of the twelfth month of the lunar calendar, and the great cold.
There are more than 20 people in the welcoming team, half of whom are carrying bamboo poles of different lengths, talking and laughing, playing and making trouble, and the team is two miles long.
These people are basically construction workers, only I am a factory worker, and the thin and tall Wei Dong, the chubby A Bing and the groom Guan Jianjun are all bricklayers, and they have the best time with me.
The groom Jianjun, walking in the front, dressed in a formal suit, suit and tie, black leather shoes, and a black coat, looked vigorous and handsome.
I, Qian Cheng, suspended school in the second year of junior high school, my father is a small leader of a school-run enterprise, so I directly arranged to enter the school-run factory, because the family is engaged in infrastructure, I met these people, and I drank together, watched movies, and played cards together for three days, so I became brothers.
"The groom goes in first, carries the dowry and advances, the two processes, and they have to be louder." I don't know who shouted.
Jianjun was stunned, looking at this, looking at that, with a confused expression.
"Jianjun, you are really, and you don't invite a matchmaker." Ah Bing carried a bamboo pole on his shoulder, and said loudly, "It's all inexperienced, who knows what the rules are?" β
"Matchmaker, please? The matchmaker wants to send pork legs, but he doesn't have enough to eat? Wei Dong took over the topic, and said again, "Free love, building an army, isn't it?" Don't be a matchmaker. β
It is no wonder that the groom Guan Jianjun, the family conditions are too poor, half of this wife is "cheated", the family is a half room: a bedroom, a kitchen, because the kitchen stove is also separate from the parents to cook, so it can only be regarded as half a room, the floor is still the red brick floor laid by the brothers two days ago, the wall of the new house is pasted with newspapers, the window glass is broken, or I sponsored the replacement of the glass.
It's not "Fengzi gets married, raw rice is cooked and cooked into rice", I don't know what the ending of this marriage is.
The older Bao Ming said, "Come, come, build an army, choose six people, and be the best man." β
"A Bing, Wei Dong, Qian Chengγ... It's up to you. Jianjun said, these few played well, and they were at the front of the team.
Several people replied.
I smiled and said, "Accompanying the groom doesn't carry a dowry, does it?" I couldn't carry it. β
Ah Bing said: "Yes, don't carry the dowry when you accompany the groom, eat and drink happily!" β
I'm only 19 years old, four or five years younger than them, they belong to the strong youth, I can only be regarded as a young man at best, I don't have much strength, you know, the dowry is made of solid wood, heavy, sure not to accompany the groom's dowry, of course elated.
Ah Bing patted me on the shoulder, haha and said: "Qian Cheng, you don't know, Jianjun's sister-in-law is beautiful, and she is the same age as you, you like to let Jianjun introduce you and be your wife." β
Wei Dong also quipped, "Yes, Qian Cheng, we are not qualified enough, you can." β
Of course I don't believe it, the bride Wu Yu looks ordinary, her own sister, and she is not much better.
"How do you know? Fooling people? β
Wei Dong said seriously, "What are you lying to? Unbelief? Ask Jianjun, who works at the color printing factory of the cultural center next to the theater. β
"We don't buy tickets for watching movies with Jianjun, she takes us into the theater." Ah Bing was also serious, and turned his head to look at Jianjun, "Isn't it?" Build an army. β
"Yes, Qian Cheng, the matchmaker bought the pork leg first." Jianjun nodded and said.
I also quipped: "Pork leg, trivial, beef leg." I didn't think so, I thought, the bride looks average, her sister, it's not much better, it must be ridiculous.
A group of people laughed together again.
In a moment, the welcoming team arrived at the door of the bride Wu's house, and there were four red lacquered eight immortal tables in the hall, which was very joyful. The sister-in-law at the door welcomed a group of people into the hall and happily beckoned each person to sit down, and the groom official and the groomsmen naturally took their seats.
"Come, tea." I looked back, and a girl of my own age, carrying a tea bowl and a teapot, came over and greeted me first.
Ah Bing stood up and responded, "Little second sister, let's come by ourselves." β
"Don't be busy, you guys work hard!" The girl said with a smile.
I looked sideways and felt that my eyes were bright, the girl was more than 1.6 meters tall, with big eyes, short hair to the ears, black boots and black pants, and a short red velvet dress, which was decent and full of joy, and she smiled and showed her little tiger teeth.
Murong questioned that it must be Jianjun's sister-in-law.
I couldn't help but move and stared at her, and the girl noticed me and smiled at me, and at this time, I had not taken my eyes off her face, and I looked at each other, and suddenly I was shy, and I looked away like lightning.
The girl turned and went to the next table to greet her.
Seeing that I had been staring at the girl, Ah Bing pushed me and said with a smile, "How is it?" Qian Cheng, this is Jianjun's sister-in-law, but is it beautiful? I didn't fool you. β
"Yes, yes, I wasn't liared." I nodded again and again, a little embarrassed, and turned my face to ask Jianjun, "What's her name?" β
Jianjun said proudly: "Wu Qing, how is it?" Pretty! Introduced to you. β
I was embarrassed to say, I only smiled, and thought to myself, this girl is good! Compared with the introduction of the grandma next door, the image is many times better.
The marriage process in the countryside is cumbersome, round after round, but my eyes have been searching for Wu Qing's figure......
According to the wedding process, after the dowry is lifted, it is already evening when the groom returns to the man's house, and most of the brothers gather in the next room to play cards, waiting for the bride to pass the door, and the bride's brother is the uncle, but the Wu family only has two sisters, so the second sister Wu Qing is the uncle.
Wu Qing at night, always smiling, wearing light makeup, more temperament, how can I have the heart to play cards, all my thoughts are mostly in Wu Qing's smile, 19 years old is no longer the beginning of love, junior high school, there are also female classmates love letters frequently, that is a hazy emotion, but this time the heartbeat is the first emotional touch in the society.
Relatives and friends have dispersed, a group of little brothers are still playing cards, and it must be another all-nighter.
The bride Wu Yu came over, saw me at the card table and asked, "Qian Cheng, didn't play!" β
"I can't fight, no one will let me, and they can't beat me." I sat on the shoulders of the soldiers who were playing cards and teased.
I am also familiar with the bride Wu Yu, in the eyes of these little brothers, I am a bold person, and I am definitely everyone's favorite, and naturally Wu Yu is no exception.
Ah Bing laughed, turned his head sideways, and said to me: "Yes, I can't beat you, you go to drink tea, I'll let you in the middle of the night." β
"I'm going home, you guys stay up all night." I said, getting up and leaving.
Wei Dong, who was playing cards on the edge of the bed, said to Jianjun,
"Can't go, Jianjun, don't let him go back, it's rare today."
A few people usually play the best, so naturally they don't let me go back, and they want to pull me alive or dead.
I teased again, "If I don't go home, where will I sleep?" Go to a new bed and sleep. β
"No comment, you think they're newly married, a new couple, two old machines." Ah Bing is also ridiculous.
The crowd laughed again.
Jianjun said, "You guys, I won't accompany you, and I'll go back tomorrow." β
"Go, go, drive," the group laughed and quipped.
Jianjun walked to the door, suddenly turned to me and said, "Oh, by the way, Qian Cheng, you can't take a holiday, I can't bring it back tomorrow, let's go together, okay?" β
