When he was young, Gao Shen loved the excitement. He would always chase the weddings of his uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters in the community, begging for all kinds of wedding candies, and would even try his best to get red envelopes.
At that time, Su Qing was already like a little adult and didn't like this.
Later, as I went to school, studied, and went out to other provinces, such beautiful memories became less and less.
Although every time someone from one of the families gets married, the community is lively and lively. After all, they have been neighbors for decades, but many things are no longer the same as before, and the familiar relationship has gradually become unfamiliar.
But this time Gao Shen got married, the community became unusually lively again.
Two days before the wedding, they went door to door calling people.
Starting from the day before the wedding, people in the community stopped gathering at home and went directly to the stadium in front of the neighborhood committee to eat, three meals a day, and supper in the evening.
In fact, the people in the community have changed a lot over the years, and everyone is busy working on their own, so there is less and less time to get together like this.
Gao Shen's parents are very popular in the community, and his prospective father-in-law used to be a businessman. He has a social awkwardness. Everyone is a buddy, and everyone is a best friend, which has already livened up the atmosphere.
The night before the wedding, Su Qing went home to stay, and Gao Shen was at her home. As a result, a group of uncles and uncles got drunk and had to ask Gao Shen to pick up Su Qing in advance, saying that they were going to have a wedding ceremony in advance.
Of course, the so-called wedding ceremony is not as scary as what is said on the Internet. Everyone comes with a lively attitude.
According to custom, the trouble lasted for seven days.
In the end, it was settled by Gao Shen's father and prospective father-in-law.
On the wedding day, which happened to be the weekend, it was only early six o'clock when a large number of children from the community rushed to the door noisily.
It turns out that I don't know who leaked the news in advance, saying that as long as they help Gao Shen go to the wedding, each person will get a piece of Lego.
This made the children and adults in the community extremely happy.
But Gao Shen was unlucky.
Last night, he was dragged along by his uncles and chatted until about three o'clock in the middle of the night. As a result, early in the morning, these people were still sleeping soundly, so he got up. It was so desperate.
Not only did the children urge me, but my parents also followed suit.
It actually only takes a few steps from Gao Shen's house to Su Qing's house, just walk there.
No, that's not the custom.
According to the rules, they had to go out from the community, go around in a circle, then enter through the main gate of the community, pick up people, go out again, go around in a circle, and then come in through the main gate.
Okay, okay, who wants us to get married?
Around!
After finally arriving at the bride's house, I wanted to enter, but I couldn't. I had to go through five levels and kill six generals first.
Eating mustard, doing push-ups, etc., that's considered light, but it's even worse...
Don't say it anymore. If you say too much, you will harm others.
Anyway, that's a tragedy.
Fortunately, Gao Shen had the foresight to bring a group of children with him. These little devils went on a rampage one by one and were unable to stop them. It didn't take long before they snatched out the well-dressed bride.
After serving tea, run away quickly.
On the way home, Su Qingcai quietly told Gao Shen that she was even worse and had been up since five o'clock.
Why so early?
You have to dress up, put on makeup, and there are a lot of rules before going out.
"I haven't eaten yet." Su Qing looked sad, obviously hungry.
Gao Shen felt much more balanced now.
Sure enough, having someone to share your misfortune with is actually a blessing.
After finally getting home, there are a lot of rules and people are coming to make trouble.
For example, it is unacceptable for a bride's face towel to be snatched away as soon as she enters the courtyard. She must negotiate terms to get it back.
You don’t want any cigarettes, alcohol, etc.?
Okay, then, brother, you can make some conditions.
What? You want labor and management to sing in public?
Damn it, I’m afraid you’ve forgotten that you always copied my homework in elementary school and passed several exams, and you still peeked at my test papers. Now you’re here to torment me? I’ve rebelled against you!
Finally, after finally sending his wife into the new house, Gao Shen secretly grabbed some food, stuffed it into Su Qing's hand, and asked her to close the door and eat slowly.
According to custom, she really can't eat, but who cares about this?
My wife's figure is just right and she doesn't need to lose weight.
After going out, it was another mess.
A big leader from the province came, saying that he had dealt with Su Qing when he was in the capital before, and the city leaders also accompanied him.
This donation is not small and has great social significance. Especially in recent years, it has been vigorously advocated. Gao Shen is just suitable to use as a model for publicity, making a good start for future community residents and even the general public.
A model.
Gao Shen is like a tool man, calling here and there.
It was okay at first, but gradually, his mind began to go blank.
There is no way, the place is too lively and there are too many people.
He didn't even know how many relatives he had been led to recognize and how many old friends he had met.
When everyone met him, they basically all praised him, and he had to smile and be polite.
I was really sleepy at the end.
Normally, the banquet here in my hometown usually consists of one meal at noon and one meal in the evening.
But isn’t simplicity popular these days?
Gao Shen and the others canceled the lunch meal and changed it to three dishes and one soup, and only had a banquet in the evening.
It’s not easy to say either.
How can it be so easy to change customs that have been practiced for decades or even centuries?
No one wanted to make such a start, lest people gossip behind them, so Jian Ban kept shouting for many years, but it never slowed down.
How many people have suffered from it, but when it comes to you, you have to bite the bullet and even borrow money.
This time, the high-level seminar was held briefly. Although a lot of banquets were held, the change from two meals to one has reduced a lot of the burden.
Moreover, he invited the residents, relatives and friends in the community to visit old friends, so he needed so many.
If we had moved to another place, we would probably have only ten tables, which would have greatly reduced the burden.
If weddings are reduced, then other things will naturally follow suit. This is also customary.
Because of this, no one said anything on the surface, and some even said things like it was a pity that it was so simple, but everyone knew in their hearts that this was a great thing that would benefit the village.
After all, in the future, if people get married in a simple way, they can justifiably say: If other advanced people get married in a simple way, of course we will follow suit.
As for Gao Shen, who would say he is stingy?
Therefore, everyone was very dedicated to this wedding and was sincerely happy for Gao Shen and Su Qing. It was a lively and lively wedding, and the whole place was filled with joy inside and outside.
…
After finally finishing the banquet and seeing off the guests, I returned home and lay on the bed. Before I could hug my wife, the errands came again.
According to the rules, you have to go back tomorrow. The Su family will come over early in the morning to pick up Amelia Su.
Want to take it back?
It takes a lot of hard work to get advanced.
In fact, this saves another banquet.
Originally, according to the custom of my hometown, there was a homecoming banquet, but now it is held together with the wedding.
All the relatives and friends of the man and woman were invited together, so there was no back-door banquet.
But the etiquette of leaving must not be omitted.
This will take another full day of work.
The day after tomorrow, both parents made an appointment to go out together to offer incense and fulfill their vows. They said they were going to many places and would be busy for two days.
Gao Shen just listened and felt that Qiu Da was deeply suffering.
This marriage is... more tiring than coaching a game.
"At first, I told you not to do anything. It was you who said you should follow the rules of your hometown, and now you are complaining..."
Su Qing said with an annoyed smile, her hands gently kneading the muscles of Gao Shen's shoulders and hands.
Gao Shen smiled cheerfully, "Aren't I going to return home in fine clothes?"
Su Qing rolled her eyes at him, not believing his words.
In fact, she knew in her heart that Gao Shen did not want to wrong her.
According to the customs in her hometown, even if she received the certificate and did not hold the wedding, she would not be seriously married to Gao Shen.
Although they may rarely come back in the future, and may even have difficulty in contacting these relatives and friends in the community, there is no guarantee that all of them will remember, or even always remember, that the girl from the Su family was not even married.
I followed the boy from the Gao family.
This is definitely not a good rumor, is it?
Also, even if they are young and can see things openly, can the older generation be able to see things as they are?
Aren't Su Qing's parents worried?
"Okay, didn't I just say a few words casually?" Gao Shen smiled and took hold of Su Qing's hand. With a strong pull, she lay down and the two of them looked at each other.
"I'm telling you, my mother has spoken, telling you to work harder and give birth to children for our Lao Gao family."
Although they were an old married couple, Su Qing still felt a little shy and said angrily: "This kind of thing is not the responsibility of us women, isn't it all up to you men? You have to work harder, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes, what do you mean by that? There are no plowed fields, only exhausted cows. I swear to be the cow that plowed the plowed fields!"
Seeing that he was getting more and more outrageous, Su Qing rolled her eyes at him fiercely and got into his arms shyly.
…
Gao Shen took two weeks' leave from Manchester City.
After he had finished all the big and small things at the wedding, it was almost time to go back.
Before leaving, he took Su Qing with him and went door to door to visit neighbors, relatives and friends in the community, doing enough etiquette.
Before he left, Gao Jianguo and Su Zhijun had reached an agreement to buy the two hundred acres of land that Gao Shen requested from the development zone management committee. The next step was to go through a series of formalities.
But this will take some time. If construction starts, it will probably be next year at the earliest.
Fortunately, the company is not in a hurry.
When their parents sent them to the airport, they naturally started nagging them again, saying that they needed to hurry up and have a baby.
It’s all the same old rhetoric anyway.
Gao Shen told them not to be too tired and to live in the UK when they had time. After all, both of their careers were in Europe.
Arriving in the capital, Su Qing hosted a banquet for some classmates, former leaders, and colleagues.
Many people helped Leeds United in its domestic investment promotion, and this friendship must be maintained.
The pair also attended the opening of Leeds United's offices in the capital together.
This also reflects the efficiency of Leeds United's work. They said they would set up an office in China, and they took action very quickly. Now it has been implemented. The efficiency is really fast enough.
With the opening of the office, Leeds United signed two sponsorship contracts in China. They are both home appliance brands, but they belong to different fields. There is no conflict. The sponsorship fees are not expensive, but the cooperation has been negotiated for more than two months. Recently,
Only then did we talk.
This can also be regarded as a good start for the promotion of Leeds United domestically and in Asia.
Just when Gao Shen finished his domestic affairs and was about to return to Europe with Su Qing, the national team game was coming to an end.
But at this moment, a piece of news suddenly broke, causing an earthquake in European football.
