Chapter 1500 Wedding
Fengjia Chong, Feng Yiping's house, upstairs, it's the world of women at this time.
Because there will be no ceremony at home later, Feng Yuxuan just dressed up normally and was surrounded by aunts, aunts, cousins, and cousins.
Those who have married look at Feng Yuxuan, and they are more relaxed, laughing and talking freely, as if today is just an ordinary day.
Those who are not married look at Feng Yuxuan, and they are more complicated, some yearning, some envy, and some sadness.
Which girl doesn't want to be lively and glorious today?
Yuxuan got married like this, it's true, hey!
Feng Yuxuan seemed to treat today as an ordinary day, completely no different from usual, talking to everyone with a smile, pouring tea for everyone with a smile, and inviting everyone to eat candy with a smile.
Downstairs, it was much quieter at this time.
Mei Jianzhong didn't say much, and he also looked at everyone with a smile.
Several uncles and aunts also had happy faces, but they were relatively silent and spoke softly. Only the nephews spoke louder, holding teapots and cigarettes, entertaining both sides.
Luo Wei still dressed up, wearing a suit with a stand-up collar and a red flower on his chest.
But he was just smiling at this time, smiling foolishly, whether he was asked anything or not.
The person in charge of the wedding reception was the president of Luo Wei's university.
According to their rules, there must be an elder among the people who came to welcome the bride.
The choice of their president was something that Luo Wei's family thought about for a long time before deciding. Among their distant uncles, cousins, or uncles-in-law, there were no outstanding people.
If it was an ordinary family, it would be good to let two of them come to help welcome the bride, since they were all the same family anyway.
But it was obviously inappropriate to face Feng Yiping's family. In the end, Luo Wei himself suggested, what about their president?
This proposal was recognized by everyone.
Although their school is neither a 985 nor a 211, it is a formal university with a history and has a connection with Feng Yuxuan. It is indeed a good choice to let the school president be the person in charge of the wedding reception.
The problem is how to invite him, but this is not a problem at all. Luo Wei only met him once and said a few words, and the president smiled and agreed. He didn't even use the gifts he prepared, and there was no need to invite him to dinner.
On the side of the wedding reception, only President Li performed well at this time. He could chat with everyone here. Whether it is domestic or foreign, a university president's practice and proficiency are not just academics.
The other few, including Luo Wei's two relatives and cousins, and several of his colleagues at school, performed a little worse at this time. As soon as they arrived at Fengjia Chong and entered this house that was similar to a villa in the city but had distinct rural characteristics, they became a little restrained.
Even though several of them were still obviously dressed like country people, or dressed in a country style, they still felt a lot of pressure.
Principal Li of Luo Wei's school can see clearly that no matter the uncles of the Feng family or the uncles of the Mei family, they all have a common temperament, that is, calmness.
This is a kind of calmness that is shown after years of washing, and it is also a kind of calmness that is shown when one is very satisfied with the current situation and has a high degree of control over the current situation.
And who of these people on his side, including himself, is satisfied with the current situation? Who is not struggling hard, involuntarily, usefully or in vain?
One side is stable and the other side is floating. It is natural that such a situation has emerged.
The laughter from upstairs was transmitted unimpeded, making the home court of this man also filled with a joyful atmosphere.
Principal Li said to Feng Zhenchang and others with a smile, "In the past few years, the leaders of various colleges and universities in our province have reached a consensus that in 1999, everyone made a mistake, that is, at that time, the provincial liberal arts champion should not have been allowed to go to school in the capital, so that we all missed Yiping,"
Feng Yiping, who was not present, was still mentioned from time to time by everyone.
Principal Li was actually somewhat relieved. If Feng Yiping were here now, he would not be so relaxed.
…………
As the time slowly approached 12 o'clock, Rongrong became a little nervous.
Looking at her cousin, she felt a little sad from nowhere. Seeing the elders still talking and laughing as if nothing had happened, she tried her best to suppress such emotions. Today was a big day. If she cried on such a day, she would be blamed by everyone.
Mei Qiuping, who had been somewhat silent today, took out a red coat from the closet. It was not Chinese style, but still had a distinct professional style. "It's almost time, put it on,"
"Well," Feng Yuxuan's smile disappeared, and the aunts and uncles also fell silent, watching Feng Yuxuan slowly put on the festive coat.
The second aunt, who was still wearing the side-opening coat made by the tailor, had some gray hair and was still combed into an old-fashioned bun. She stood up from the bed, took out a red bag from her clothes, walked to Feng Yuxuan and said, "I'm old and can't squat down. Lift your feet,"
Feng Yuxuan was a little confused and sat on the bed and raised her feet. Second Aunt took off her slippers and took out a pair of embroidered shoes from the bag. "I have been doing it for several months. I am old and my eyes can't keep up. I can't do it as well as before."
Feng Yuxuan knew what she had to do. Her eyes were red. "Second Aunt, I will do it myself."
Second Aunt bent down with some effort. Huang Jingping saw this and moved the high-backed chair from the study opposite. "Second Aunt, you sit down."
"Good girl," Second Aunt glanced at her, sat on the chair, held Feng Yuxuan's feet, and carefully put on shoes for her. "From today on, you are a real adult. In the future, you will walk steadily and live well."
"Mom," Feng Yuxuan couldn't help it anymore and cried while hugging her mother next to her. Mei Qiuping patted her daughter's shoulders and wiped her tears like when she was a child. "Don't cry, don't cry,"
But her own tears, like beads that had broken off the string, couldn't stop falling.
Rongrong realized that she was not the only one who felt sad.
She looked around again. The adults all had red eyes, including her mother. The eye makeup she had put on for her mother was now a mess.
The lady who helped her cousin put on her embroidered shoes also wiped her eyes with a handkerchief tied to the button under her armpit.
So, this is what adults are like!
It turns out that they are not sad, they just hide it better, Rongrong thought while rubbing her eyes and sniffing her nose.
The only person who couldn't figure out the situation upstairs was Amanda, who was held by Huang Jingping. She looked at her aunt and grandmother who couldn't stop crying, and the adults around her with red eyes who didn't know who they were. She hurriedly wiped her mother's tears with her little hands, "Mom, mom, what's wrong with you?"
She was about to cry.
Cai Hong wiped her eyes and urged loudly, "Yuxuan, it's okay, sister, it's okay," but she couldn't help wiping her eyes again.
…………
The men downstairs naturally heard the noise upstairs. Feng Wenhua, who was pouring tea for everyone, never understood such a thing. What was there to cry about on a day like today?
He was not the only one who didn't understand. Feng Yiping's cousins also thought so. They were even a little impatient and even felt that it was a little fake. Getting married, how happy is that?
The adults who have already married can understand this kind of emotion, but men naturally can't cry like a woman. The fourth uncle smiled and explained to Principal Li, "Our customs here..."
"I understand, I understand," Principal Li nodded, "Girl is getting married..., Xiao Luo, Luo Wei, you must..."
After hearing the crying upstairs, Luo Wei seemed to wake up. He looked upstairs and across from him from time to time, looking a little restless. This time, as if he didn't hear what Principal Li said, he stood up and walked across. Feng Zhenchang smiled and looked at him and nodded, and then saw him kneeling in front of him with a "thump".
"What are you doing? Get up,"
Fourth uncle also said, "Xiao Luo, get up quickly. These old etiquettes are no longer in fashion,"
"Whether it is old etiquette or new rules, it is only natural for us to kneel in front of our parents today," Luo Wei said, "Dad and Mom raised Yuxuan for more than 20 years. I should kneel down, and that's my duty,"
"Get up quickly," Feng Zhenchang was a little impatient, "Dongzheng, Wenhua," he called his two nephews.
"Get up," the two came over to pull Luo Wei.
"No, let me finish these few words," Luo Wei resolutely pushed them away, knelt on the ground, straightened his body, looked into Feng Zhenchang's eyes and said, "Dad, thank you and Mom for agreeing to let Yuxuan marry me,"
"Today, in front of all the uncles and elders, I say in the name of a man that from today on, I will fulfill the responsibilities of a man and a husband, and do my best to love her, take care of her, tolerate her, and protect her,"
"I won't say that I can let her not suffer a little grievance, because I can't boast and promise that after Yuxuan and I get married, there will be no quarrels in our lives, but I want to say that from today on, I will not let everyone except me, everyone," he emphasized again, "make Yuxuan angry,"
Other people may not understand it very well, but Feng Zhenchang knows who Luo Wei is emphasizing this "everyone" mainly referring to.
"Last time, I came here to apologize once. I also say in the name of a man that such a thing will never happen again,"
"I just said these two sentences," he bowed his head and touched the ground, as if to stamp his two sentences, "two sentences in the name of my man,"
Facing Luo Wei, Feng Zhenchang finally had appreciation in his eyes.
He had been staring at Luo Wei's eyes just now, and he could tell whether his words were from the heart.
If Luo Wei's words were sworn to God, he would not only not appreciate them, but would also look down on him a little more. Swearing and swearing were just acting.
But Luo Wei said solemnly that he said these words in the name of a man, which still had some weight.
He didn't say all his words, and he also specifically said that he would not promise not to quarrel with Yuxuan in the future, and he could not promise not to let her suffer any grievances. Such words were more credible and absolutely from the heart.
It seems that he has finally grown up now, and it's not too late.
"I heard you, get up," he stood up and pulled Luo Wei. This time Luo Wei did not insist and stood up following his hand.
"From today on, I have half a son," Feng Zhenchang patted his shoulder, "I hope you two can tolerate each other, cherish each other, and live a good life in the future,"
He had thought about saying these words a long time ago, but this time he really brought his true feelings.
"I remember, Dad," Luo Wei said solemnly.
Mei Yiliang looked at Luo Wei in surprise. As the elder of Feng Yuxuan who had the most contact with Luo Wei, he also felt the changes in Luo Wei at the first time, and he was very relieved.
When did I go from being a bit of a jerk to being responsible? He couldn't help thinking back.
Maybe most men will have this day.
On the stairs, Cai Hong also happily pulled Feng Yuxuan and whispered in her ear, "You didn't see the wrong person."
Mei Jianzhong glanced at the clock on the wall, "Okay, it's time, where's Yuxuan?"
The women upstairs hugged Feng Yuxuan, who was wearing Western clothes and embroidered shoes, and came down, "Dad," Feng Yuxuan stopped in front of Feng Zhenchang.
The father and daughter did not hug or have any physical contact. Feng Zhenchang held the chair and said in a hoarse voice, "You are fine."
He stood at the door of the house and shook hands with those who came to welcome the bride, but his eyes were always on the red piece in front of him.
Soon, he was the only one left at the door of the house. He watched his daughter get into the car, and seemed to look over here, and immediately waved over there. Because they were too far away, Feng Yuxuan could not see her father's tightly bitten lips at this time...

ps: Book friends who follow books know that my characteristic is to try to be realistic, which is the case in character setting and plot setting. So, based on my experience, it’s hard to say experience, let’s just say what I’ve seen and heard over the years, I really can’t write about a family where the father is kind and the son is filial, the relatives are sensible, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are harmonious, and everything is going well. No one can have everything they want and be perfect everywhere. This is the case with us, and those who have reached the top are no exception. For example, for my sister’s marriage, it’s actually very easy to arrange a brother-in-law who is perfect from the individual to the family to the parents, but I think it’s unrealistic with the conditions of the Feng family, including Feng Yuxuan. Perfection may not necessarily suit her. People like Luo Wei, who used to be soft-tempered, now know the responsibilities of men and husbands, are actually really good.
