Li Hongxing's wedding was on May 16th. Li's father and Li's mother were busy with work, so they took three days off and did not set off until May 15th. Tian Shao went with them, this time by car.
Tian Shao was fine in a bus or a truck, but he vomited in the middle of the car ride.
Li Aihua was surprised and said: "I didn't get carsick twice before, so why did I get carsick this time?"
Tian Shao leaned on her shoulder and said feebly: "Maybe the bus and truck have a wide field of vision, so they didn't faint!"
The real reason is that she had a slight cold in the past two days, and she didn't pay much attention to it. She wouldn't have gone if she knew she would get motion sickness. But now that she has walked half of the way, it is impossible to turn back.
The car was faster and we arrived at the machinery factory at around two o'clock.
Tian Shao felt very uncomfortable now, so he went to the guest house and simply washed up before climbing into bed to rest. Fortunately, he recovered quickly at a young age, and after a long sleep, he woke up full of energy again.
Li Hongxing saw her and said with a smile: "Sister said you are not feeling well, so I'm worried that you won't be able to be my bridesmaid tomorrow?"
Tian Shao smiled and said: "It's just motion sickness. Once you get over it, you'll be fine."
Li Hongxing was very busy as the bride-to-be, and she was called away after saying a few words to Tian Shao. Li's mother also helped organize the wedding, and took care of everyone under Li Aihua's orders.
Li Aihua saw that Tian Shao was eating melon seeds leisurely, so he pulled her to help and stayed busy until dark before returning to the guest house.
After lying down, Li Aihua said softly: "Xiao Shao, the Chu family has reserved six tables at Jiang Province Hotel. Tomorrow they will pick up Hongxing and go directly to Jiang Province Hotel. Xiao Shao, we will also go there then."
Nowadays, there is no such thing as simplifying the complex, kowtowing and serving tea. The more sophisticated ones know how to set up a few tables, while the less sophisticated ones just get the marriage certificate and hand out wedding candies and the marriage is considered completed. Of course, if you respect the woman, no matter how poor you are, you will set up a table.
Invite relatives over for a meal.
Tian Shao smiled and said: "Why, are you nervous?"
Li Aihua whispered: "Xiao Shao, don't laugh. There may be many leaders coming to have a wedding banquet tomorrow."
Tian Shao didn't think so, and said: "The situation is unstable now. It is impossible for the Chu family to invite all the leaders to the wedding banquet. Those coming tomorrow should be relatives of the Chu family and colleagues and friends of Chu Mingjun."
"Hopefully!"
The next morning, Li Hongxing started putting on makeup after breakfast. Instead of putting on makeup herself, she asked a lady in her forties to do it for her. This woman's skills were really good, and Li Hongxing's shortcomings were all covered up by her skillful hands.
All the advantages are presented.
Li Aihua felt itchy when he saw the radiant Li Hongxing. He lowered his voice and said to Tian Shao: "When we get married, we will also ask her to come and do our makeup."
This woman is only going to get married once, and she must be beautiful, even if it takes a little trouble.
Tian Shao said with a smile: "Then you invite her to your wedding next year. As for me, I don't know that I don't get married until the year of the monkey, so I'm not in a hurry."
Men don’t even know where they are or what they are getting married to! Thinking of this, the mind can’t help but picture a handsome man wearing a military uniform. I don’t know what is going on with this black-hearted guy. It’s been almost two months now.
No reply!
It took more than an hour to apply makeup on Li Hongxing. The eldest sister looked at her watch and found that she didn't have enough time, so she only briefly applied it on the four bridesmaids. Li Aihua looked in the mirror and found that there was no change, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Tian Shao smiled and said: "We are bridesmaids. If we dress up in a glamorous way, we will steal the bride's limelight. This eldest sister must not be a fool to be invited."
This woman is getting married once in her life, so she definitely wants to be the center of attention. If you steal the spotlight from the bride without a wink, you will be remembered by the bride for the rest of her life. Even those who help with makeup will be angered.
Li Aihua smiled and said: "You are right, but I don't mind if you steal my limelight. On my wedding day, I hope you will dress up beautifully."
Tian Shao would not do such a mindless thing: "I am naturally beautiful, and I am very beautiful even without dressing up."
Li Aihua smiled, he didn't expect Tian Shao to be so confident.
Around nine o'clock, Chu Mingjun came to Li's house to pick up the bride.
This was the first time that Tian Shao met Chu Mingjun. Because the Li family, including Li Aihua, didn’t talk to her and didn’t ask enough about what Chu Mingjun looked like, she thought he was very handsome based on his name. But when they met today, his name was nothing like the person.
They don't match each other. Well, Chu Mingjun is either ugly or very ordinary. He is on the short side. Tian Shao predicts that he is at most 1.7 meters tall. He looks quite polite with glasses on. Maybe it's because he is a leader and has a very serious and unsmiling attitude.
Chu Mingjun first bowed to Grandpa Li and Grandma Li, then bowed to Mr. and Mrs. Li Yuan, then acknowledged all the relatives and took the bride away.
Nowadays, some weddings are held according to the old rules, that is, there are separate banquets for men and women, and the woman is getting married, so the main dinner is in the morning; there are also weddings held by men and women together in a hotel or restaurant, which saves trouble and money, but if you are selfish or careless
It is easy to cause conflicts. Grandpa Li and Grandma Li are old-school people, so they follow the rules of the older generation.
Because the machinery factory is far away from Jiang Province Hotel, it is not practical to ride a bicycle or walk there. Chu Mingjun is also a talented person. He rented a bus as a wedding car. He and Li Hongxing sat in the front. As for the bridesmaids and the groomsmen who came,
Find a place to sit by yourself. As for the dowry, such as bedding, hot water bottles, etc., they have been delivered to the new house long ago, so it saves a lot of trouble.
Li Aihua and Tian Shao were sitting at the back. She lowered her voice and said, "Red Star told me before that Chu Mingjun would drive to pick her up and take her to the hotel. I thought it was a small car, but I didn't expect it to be a bus."
There are eight best men and bridesmaids, plus the people who are helping to welcome the bride. If you want a car, you will need at least four cars. Having so many cars to welcome the bride will definitely have a bad impact. Chu Mingjun is an official, which is not good.
Tian Shao said with a smile: "I think the bus is very good. You see, the view is so wide, I feel comfortable watching it."
The man sitting in front had noticed Tian Shao just now at Li's house, so he deliberately sat in front of the two of them. Hearing this, he turned around with a smile and said, "Comrade, what you said is very fresh."
Tian Shao smiled and said, "I'm telling the truth."
She was worried that she would get motion sickness again when riding in a car, but she was relieved when she saw that it was a bus.
The man had a very good impression of Tian Shao and introduced himself: "My name is Zhu Hanyou. I work in the management department of the paper mill. I wonder which factory the girl works in?"
Tian Shao's eyes flashed and he smiled and said, "I work in a textile factory in Yongning County."
Zhu Hanyou was a little surprised and asked, "Isn't the girl from the provincial capital?"
Tian Shao shook his head slightly and said: "No, my family is from Yongning County, and my ancestors have been digging in the fields for generations. I was lucky and got into the textile factory."
Zhu Hanyou paused, smiled and praised: "Then you are quite powerful."
Tian Shao saw that he was no longer interested in talking, politely said good luck, and then lowered his head to talk to Li Aihua. Until the hotel, Zhu Hanyou did not take the initiative to talk to Tian Shao again.
