Chapter 229: Lu Jianming, Li, and Lishi
The White Rose Barber Shop opened in 52, Sanjiangshui entered the first-line heavenly gate in the same year, and Lu Jianming entered the door two years later.
However, after the success of Sanjiang Shuixue, he has been busy with things on the dock, and the number of times he comes back every month is only a handful.
Lu Jianming's ancestral home is Puning, Guangdong, and his father Lu Changfu originally owned a textile factory in Hong Kong and Kowloon, and went to Thailand at the invitation of a friend in 55 years.
Affected by the current situation, many Vietnamese refugees poured into Thailand, and the gold business was relatively easy to do, so Lu Changfu partnered with a fellow villager and friend to open a gold store in Chinatown.
The Chinatown on Yaowarat Road in Bangkok, located on the bank of the Mekong River, is a well-known commercial street in Thailand, this Chinatown has more than three, that is, there are many temples, many snack bars, and there are many gold shops, so it is also known as the golden street, and there are as many as sixty or seventy gold shops opened by the Chinese alone.
Compared with those old gold shops that are often decades old, Lu Changfu's gold store in the prosperous area of Chinatown is only a junior in this gold street, but after five years, the business is still booming, and now he has opened a number of houses.
So at the beginning of last year, Lu Jianming helped deal with the textile factory business in Hong Kong and Kowloon, so he went to Thailand to help his father take care of the gold business.
This time it was also Sanjiangshui's marriage, so Lu Jianming bought a ticket and returned to Hong Kong overnight.
Lu Jianming is Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, with thin eyebrows and broad eyes, fair skin, wearing a blue suit, and steady steps.
Not long after Li An sat down, the other party came to Sanjiangshui.
"Jianming."
Sanjiangshui got up, hugged Li An and introduced to the other party: "This is A'an." ”
He turned to Ang Lee and said:
"Your second senior brother, Lu Jianming."
Li An nodded in greeting: "Second senior brother." ”
Lu Jianming looked at Li An in surprise, and a smile appeared on his face:
"A'an, when Zhou Sheng went to pick me up at the airport, he mentioned you to me, and we'll talk more later."
Coming back from the airport, along the way, Chen Jianming was still quite curious about the junior brother Zhou Sheng was talking about.
"Okay."
Li An nodded happily.
There were footsteps downstairs, and Wu Shihao and Hou Shijie came upstairs.
"Brother An, the car is ready." Wu Shihao said.
Li An glanced at his watch and said to Sanjiangshui: "Senior brother, it's six o'clock, it's time to get ready to pick up my sister-in-law." ”
During this period, the wedding customs in Hong Kong were roughly the same as those in the mainland, which were divided into: making a decision, making a bed, going up, welcoming relatives, having a wedding banquet, and returning to the door.
On the day of the wedding, the bride is generally picked up by the groom at home or directly to the wedding banquet, and returns to the door after three days.
Wedding, one of the five rites of life.
Sanjiangshui and Li Chunmei have no elders in their families, and they are not ready to do a big job, but some necessary customs and processes for the wedding still have to be followed, which is not only a blessing, but also a respect for the woman.
After all, there's no woman who doesn't want her wedding to be lively.
Yesterday, it was agreed that before nine o'clock, the bride and groom will hold a wedding ceremony here before going to the restaurant.
Li Chunmei lives in the squatter area of the Aberdeen Typhoon Shelter, and the ferry starts operating at half past six in the morning.
At 7 a.m., the wedding car stopped at the intersection of the squatter area of the typhoon shelter.
Squatter houses are mainly divided into land squatter houses and water squatter houses.
Most of the onshore squatter houses are built along the mountain, which is simple and densely built, and the squatter area has no power supply, and the residents use kerosene lamps, so fire accidents often occur, and the safety hazards are great.
The water squatter house, also known as the seaside squatter house, is about the Tan family, these fishermen who live on boats.
In addition to the dense fishing boats on the sea, there are also a large number of wooden houses and tin houses along the shore along the foot of the mountain.
Most of the residents are engaged in the lowest jobs, hawkers, coachmen, coolies.
In fact, Sanjiangshui persuaded Li Chunmei more than once, and also helped the other party find a place to live, but it was only because of Li Chunmei's insistence that Sanjiangshui gave up.
Sanjiang sailors held flowers and got out of the car with a red face.
Li An, who got out of the car, glanced around at the residents who stopped to watch, and said to Wu Shihao, who walked behind him:
"You and Shiwei take out the cigarettes and candy in the trunk."
"No problem."
Wu Shihao nodded, turned around and called out to Xi Wei and Hou Shijie, holding the candy wrapped in chicken skin paper and the cigarette that was opened, and walked towards the residents who were watching the excitement with a smile on his face.
After taking the cigarettes and candy, these residents will politely reply "congratulations".
Sanjiangshui walked ahead, and the group walked along the rugged path of the squatter area, and when they met residents along the way, Wu Shihao would enthusiastically step forward in exchange for a word of congratulations from the other party.
After a while, everyone stopped in front of a wooden house with a couplet on the door.
Li An and Zhou Sheng stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"Senior sister, open the door."
Zhou Sheng shouted loudly.
Li Chunmei has no relatives and elders except for a few fellow villagers, so Lin Zhaodi came over here to help yesterday.
"Senior Sister, Senior Sister"
Zhou Sheng patted the door hard, and after a while, Lin Zhaodi, who was wearing a white embroidered robe, opened a corner of the door, Zhou Sheng used both hands, and wanted to take the opportunity to push the door open, but Lin Zhaodi was held against it with his feet.
Lin Zhaodi glanced at Zhou Sheng and pretended to be angry:
"Hey, Ah Sheng, do you understand the rules?"
Zhou Sheng said with a smile:
"Senior sister, everyone is their own, the rules will be talked about later, you open the door first."
Lin Zhaodi shook her head:
"Nope."
"Sister Zhaodi, you can't put forward conditions if you let them in." There is a female voice in the house.
"You heard that, too."
Lin Zhaodi pretended to be helpless, and then looked at Sanjiangshui with a smile:
"Senior brother."
Sanjiangshui smiled on his face:
"Whatever you say today is what you say."
Zhou Sheng helped:
"Senior sister, today is your own wedding rehearsal, you don't embarrass Senior Brother, and when you get married, we won't embarrass your husband."
When Lin Zhaodi heard this, she just looked at Zhou Sheng, with a smile on her face.
"Ahem~ You come."
Zhou Sheng coughed weakly, stepped aside, and pulled Li An over, causing several people to laugh.
"Senior sister, the door to pick up the bride is that everyone in it has a share." Li An said with a smile.
Pick up the bride, open the door is a must, the woman will also prepare some small games to make things difficult for the groom, of course, if you want to reduce these difficulties, you can use the laisee to express.
Lin Zhaodi thought for a while:
"Okay, I won't embarrass you, seal a ninety-nine yuan and nine cents and nine cents, and we'll open the door."
"No problem! Ninety-nine pieces and nine cents, a long time, good intentions! ”
Li An agreed.
Then he turned his head and motioned to Zhou Sheng.
After a while, Zhou Sheng handed over a letter of laisee, Lin Zhaodi took it in his hand and looked at it, before opening the door, and everyone rushed in.
