On the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the sun was shining brightly and the sky was clear, a rare sunny day in winter.
The courtyard outside Xu Zhengyang's home in Shuanghe Village was extremely lively. The festive atmosphere dispelled the cold air, making the entire courtyard and outside the courtyard much warmer.
In the place where Xu Zhengyang lives, according to the customs, the engagement is not made grand. Relatives of both parties, matchmakers, and especially good friends are invited to come to the house to sit down, have a meal and drink.
After drinking wine, the man and woman set the wedding date. This is the engagement.
Naturally, it is different from the relatives, friends, and neighbors like when you get married. Well, the more people and lively it is, the better.
However, Xu Zhengyang's engagement was still much more grand than other engagements in the village.
The main room, the east room, and the west room are all large rooms with large rented round tables and stools. Several large stoves and several large pots are also built under a few large trees on the east side outside the courtyard gate.
"Steamy" is not much smaller than the wedding scene in ordinary people's homes. It just doesn't have to hang a red flag on the door, couplets on both sides, and a speaker on the house.
No matter what kind of conflicts there have been between relatives in the past, they are relatives after all. This important event of engagement always requires notification, and these relatives naturally do not dare to refuse even now. They are reluctant to stay with Xu Zhengyang's family.
The marriage was broken; on the other hand, the neighbors had to be invited, and Xu Zhengyang’s buddies needed to come and help entertain the guests until the work was over. In the evening, they would set up two separate tables for a meal and a meal.
Have fun.
Yuan Suqin and Xu Neng are happy. In the past few years, life has been ups and downs, sometimes happy and sometimes sad. Now, their son is getting engaged. As parents, what is your biggest wish?
Isn’t it just that the children can get married, start a business, and live a good life?
The news that Xu Zhengyang and Li Bingjie were getting engaged this time came so suddenly, as if a beautiful daughter-in-law suddenly fell from the sky. She also has a great background. If you don't handle the engagement properly, you will be worthy of the girl.
Home?
Besides, if things are done in a lively and grand manner, it will be worthy of the in-laws.
Although, only an important person, Jiang Lan, came to kiss the furniture, along with the two security guards and a nanny to support the scene. Maybe the couple couldn't be ambiguous. You know, after the engagement at home was done, they still had to go to a meeting.
When we go to the capital, our in-laws sincerely invite them all to go there. It’s too shabby for us to do, isn’t it?
Speaking of which, originally, the engagement should be held at the bride's house.
Yes, special circumstances can be considered special cases.
The west room of the main room is a clean bedroom specially designed for Li Bingjie. It is an inner and outer room separated by a wooden partition wall. On the sofa in the outer room, Li Bingjie and her mother Jiang Lan were sitting on the sofa, and Xu Bingjie was sitting on the sofa.
Relatives and women from the same family greeted me and exchanged a few polite words.
In fact, Jiang Lan didn't like this kind of scene. Although it was lively, it was a bit noisy, and she couldn't adapt to the enthusiasm of these rural women from the bottom of her heart.
People are related to each other, so these rural women can also see and understand, so they don't stay in the house too much to warm their faces and put their cold buttocks. Although Jiang Lan, mother and daughter, are not cold
They all treated each other with smiles and were very polite.
Finally, the house was temporarily abandoned.
Jiang Lan sighed softly.
Li Bingjie looked at her mother and said softly: "Mom, you"
"It's okay, Bingjie. Mom is happy, really happy." Jiang Lan smiled and hugged her daughter. Tears overflowed from her eyes. By now, Jiang Lan had completely figured it out and thought about it. All along,
I feel sorry for my daughter and love my daughter, but my love is really selfish, excessive, and narrow-minded. It has gone to an extreme. Now that I think about it, isn't it a good ending for my daughter to marry Xu Zhengyang?
In terms of excellence, although Xu Zhengyang's background, education level and some superficial qualities are really not on the stage, his daughter is happy with it, and Xu Zhengyang is simply excellent to the point of being "perverted" in all aspects. Who can compare with him? Furthermore, speaking of
Yes, my daughter is willing, and my daughter is happy. Xu Zhengyang is a person who values love and justice, not the kind of playboy who flirts with women.
In terms of family conditions, not to mention material aspects, both parties have plenty of money; in terms of spiritual aspects, my father-in-law is an honest and kind person, and my mother-in-law is also a kind-hearted person. Although the overall quality is not good, she has a good heart, which is better than anything else.
"Mom, I'm sorry." Li Bingjie couldn't help but shed tears as she spoke.
She could imagine that with her mother's personality, such a huge change in mentality in a short period of time must have been under absolute pressure from the outside, or even forced. And there is only one person who can do all this.
, that is Xu Zhengyang, a god.
The reason is very simple, who is Jiang Lan? Mr. Li and Li Ruiyu can be called the strongest among strong men? How has Jiang Lan's sex changed at all in the past decades?
However, Li Bingjie couldn't blame Xu Zhengyang for anything.
It's not that Li Bingjie hates her mother too much, it's just because of Li Bingjie's unique personality. She always looks at people and things from an extremely fair perspective. She knows very well what her mother Jiang Lan does.
With Xu Zhengyang's temper, to a large extent, it was not because of him, Li Bingjie, that he would treat his mother
Being merciful, even, from another perspective, is tantamount to helping Jiang Lan. No matter what he did, it ultimately allowed Jiang Lan to reach the point where he is today, able to truly transform his personality, and be able to relax without having to think about it anymore.
Isn't it a good outcome to be aggressive and aggressive, to take advantage of others and hurt yourself?
"Bingjie, you will live a good life in the future. Mom, there is nothing to think about." Jiang Lan wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and raised his hands to wipe away her daughter's tears. She held her daughter's face and showed her seriousness without any pretense.
With a kind smile, "It's my mother's fault if I abandon you."
Li Bingjie opened her mouth and wanted to say something else, but Jiang Lan shook her head and said with a smile: "Forget it, you two are engaged today. You always have to be happy, don't you?"
"Yeah." Li Bingjie nodded, but couldn't hold back tears welling up again.
Outside, the neighbors and relatives were busy, talking, laughing, and happy. Xu Neng and Yuan Suqin were also busy with smiles on their faces.
It's past eleven o'clock in the morning.
The rough and heavy work had been done, and Xu Zhengyang and the other young men naturally couldn't get involved in the remaining tasks, so they didn't go to help. A few of them stood outside the courtyard gate despite the cold, basking in the sun and smoking.
Smoke, talk and laugh.
During the chat, Xu Zhengyang learned that too many things had happened in more than two years.
For example, Cao Wangchuan, Zhang Hao, and Liu Bin are all married, and Zhong Zhijun will also get married on Labor Day next year. Most of the girls of the same age in the village have also gotten married and started families. For example, Liu Xiuyan married to Xinzhuang Village, and her husband is a man named Qiang.
Homega…
This had to make Xu Zhengyang feel even more grateful to Chen Chaojiang.
Although in the cities outside today, single young people account for the majority in their mid-twenties, but in their hometown in the countryside, this is the age when they should have children. Not to mention the relationship between Chen Chaojiang and Ye Wan, who knew back then
If he hadn't gone to heaven, how far would the relationship between the two of them have developed? It would be better if they fell in love and eventually got married. If they couldn't afford it, and if it hadn't been for Xu Zhengyang's accident, Chen Chaojiang would have at least had someone of his own by now.
family.
Thinking of this, Xu Zhengyang took out his mobile phone and dialed Chen Chaojiang's number:
"Chaojiang, where are you?"
"It's getting better. We'll be there in a moment."
"good."
After hanging up the line, Xu Zhengyang smiled and said to his brothers: "Chaojiang will be here in a moment. This kid is here with his girlfriend."
"Hey, when did he have a girlfriend?"
"This guy, all my brothers are still in the dark."
A few people were chatting and laughing, but of course they knew in their hearts that with Chen Chaojiang's nature, even if he was in love, he would probably not tell them about it.
Zhang Hao said: "I met her once last time when I was delivering goods to the Beijing branch. That girl is really pretty."
"Hey, when will Chaojiang get married?" Cao Wangchuan asked.
"I guess, Zhengyang will get married in March next year, and Zhijun will get married around the same time. He is the only one left in our group, can you not be impatient?" Liu Bin said with a smile.
The whole group of people became happy.
Xu Zhengyang felt this long-lost happy atmosphere. He was quite emotional. He thought for a while and said: "Brothers, I won't say more about Zhijun. People's police, Hao, Wangchuan, Bin, you Ren Zhonghao are now
But he is an excellent driver. He has been running long distances for the past few years and knows a lot. He is also familiar with the drivers in the company. Later I arranged for Hao to be the captain of the team; Amikawa, Bin.
, you two, don’t always think about being a security guard. I have been working in a logistics company for so many years. I have never eaten pork and seen pigs running around. I understand a little bit. The company is getting bigger and bigger, so I have to arrange a few people.
You can trust someone to manage and supervise the operation and management of the company. Logistics is difficult to say, easy to say, and not complicated at all. How about it? Pay some attention and join the management."
"Sure, I have no problem." Zhang Hao said with a smile, very confident.
But Liu Bin and Cao Wangchuan kept scratching their heads.
Liu Bin said: "Come on, I'll still work as my security guard. If you feel bad about it, Zhengyang, just work for me as a security captain and get a little salary increase."
"Fuck, you're the captain, what am I going to do?" Cao Wangchuan cursed with a smile.
"Don't talk nonsense to me." Xu Zhengyang finally integrated into the atmosphere between buddies. He waved his hands and cursed with a smile: "I'll find Zhan Xiaohui later and ask him to think about which department you should be assigned to. If you want to be lazy, the door will be closed."
No children
Several people laughed.
"One thing," Xu Zhengyang said sternly, "I want to give our buddy some face!"
Several people nodded, understanding.
Yes, Zhengyang is thinking about our buddies. We can't get something for nothing, which will make Zhengyang feel uncomfortable. We can't feel sorry for ourselves either, right?
Originally, Chen Chaojiang was going to rush back from the capital overnight yesterday, but Ye Wan had to ask Chen Chaojiang to wait for her and come together tomorrow. Chen Chaojiang thought about it and realized that this was not the wedding day, so he called Xu Zhengyang and said
Of course Xu Zhengyang wouldn't mind this. He already knew that Ye Wan was definitely coming. Li Bingjie and Ye Wan had already talked on the phone before.
As for other friends, such as Hu Laosi, Dong Wenqi's father, etc., Xu Zhengyang did not notify him. He was thinking of going back to the capital and then finding a hotel in Jianhe City to set up a few tables and treat them to a meal.
After all, it was just an engagement, and things were not going to be too lively in the first place.
This time, his sister Xu Rouyue didn't come back either. Xu Zhengyang told his sister that if you attend the engagement banquet in the capital, you are busy with your studies now. Don't go back and forth.
Xu Rouyue complained but said nothing. Anyway, in a few days, her parents, brother and sister-in-law would come to the capital.
The only thing that made Xu Rouyue a little helpless was that when Ouyang Ying knew the news, she smiled and shed tears in front of Xu Rouyue. Many times, when the ignorant love sprouts in the heart, due to various reasons, it has not
It can bloom and scatter leaves, but it will still grow tenaciously in the heart. The small buds that stand upright will not wither for a long time, or even a lifetime.
Xu Rouyue didn't know how to persuade her.
But Ouyang Ying wiped away her tears. She didn't feel embarrassed at all, and said openly: "I will go with you to the engagement banquet in Beijing. Bless our brother and sister-in-law."
"Yeah." Xu Rouju agreed.
The black 6 Tiger off-road vehicle was driving on a country road. Chen Chaojiang was wearing a pair of sunglasses, and his face looked increasingly grim.
Ye Wan sat in the passenger seat, looked at Chen Chaojiang with interest, and said with a smile: "Hey, are you anxious?"
"Huh?" Chen Chaojiang turned to look at Ye Wan, then stared ahead and said, "There's no rush."
"Really?" Ye Wan said happily.
Chen Chaojiang blushed, of course what he just said was a lie.
"Hey, how about we get married? Get ahead of Xu Zhengyang and Bingjie." Ye Wan said with a smile.
"In your home,"
"Tch, they don't agree with you talking about friends, let alone marriage.
"That
"If we don't agree to be friends, aren't we still together?" Ye Wan said proudly, "So if we don't agree to get married, we can still get married."
Chen Chaojiang's hands gripped the steering wheel harder and harder, and his heart beat faster.
He felt very ashamed. He always felt that he was in love with Ye Wan. He had always been passive." To use a not-so-sounding phrase, it was not that he was picking up girls, but that she was picking up on him.
"Are you scared?" Ye Wan smiled and said goodbye.
Chen Chaojiang shook his head.
"Then why are you nervous? I accidentally broke the steering wheel."
"Oh." Chen Chaojiang's hand relaxed slightly, then tightened it again, and said coldly: "Always let both parents know."
Ye Wan nodded fiercely and said with a smile: "Then you and I will come to our house later. Speaking of which, you haven't seen them yet."
The car had already entered the village. Chen Chaojiang nodded and said, "Okay."
"You have to think about it, my father and mother are very strict, and our two brothers, be careful they beat you." Ye Wan seemed to be very excited about this topic, waving his hands and gritting his teeth, he threatened: "Don't think that you are capable.
You dare to attack my brothers!"
"Yeah." Chen Chaojiang nodded, thinking, isn't this nonsense? But, will they really touch me?
"Don't worry! I'm here." Ye Wan raised his face and said with a proud smile.
Chen Chaojiang finally couldn't bear this passive situation. When the off-road vehicle parked on the roadside not far from Xu Zhengyang's house and saw his brothers waving to him, Chen Chaojiang pushed the door open and suddenly turned to face
Ye Wan said:
"If you dare to marry, of course I dare to marry you!"
Uh, let me make it clear in advance. I won’t write about what happened at the engagement party. It’s okay if I just write about people’s mentality in general.
After all, this kind of wedding banquet is nothing more than eating, drinking and chatting, nothing much.
