Seven Hundred and Seventy Eighth Wedding
When he was young, Gao Shen liked to be lively, always chasing the weddings of uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters in the community, begging for all kinds of wedding candy, and even trying every means to ask for red envelopes.
At that time, Su Qing was already like a little adult, and she didn't like it.
Later, when I went to school, studied, and went out of the province, such good memories became less and less.
Although every time a family gets married, the community is always lively. After all, they have been neighbors for decades, but many things are not the same as before, and the familiar relationship is gradually estranged.
But this time Gao Shen got married, and the community became lively again.
Two days before the wedding, they called people from door to door.
Starting from the day before the wedding, people in the community stopped having a party at home, and went directly to the stadium in front of the community neighborhood committee to eat, three meals a day, and supper in the evening.
In fact, over the years, the people in the community have changed a lot, and everyone is busy on their own, and the time to get together like this is getting less and less.
Gao Shen's parents are very popular in the community, and the prospective father-in-law used to be in business, so he has a social aura. Everyone is a buddy, and everyone is a buddy. They have enlivened the atmosphere early on.
The night before the wedding, Su Qing went home to live, and Gao Shen was at her home. As a result, a group of uncles got drunk and had to ask Gao Shen to pick up Su Qing in advance, saying that they wanted to have a bridal chamber in advance.
Of course, the so-called bridal chamber is really not as scary as it is said on the Internet. Everyone came here with an active attitude.
According to the custom, it will last seven days.
In the end, it was settled by Gao Shen's father and prospective father-in-law.
On the day of the wedding, which happened to be the weekend, and it was only early six o'clock, a lot of children from the community rushed to the door noisily.
It turns out that whoever leaked the news in advance said that as long as you help Gao Shen to welcome the relatives, each person will get a piece of Lego.
This makes the children and adults in the community very happy.
But Gao Shen was out of luck.
Last night, he was dragged and chatted with his uncles until after three o'clock in the middle of the night. As a result, early in the morning, the group of people were still sleeping soundly, and he had to get up. He was so desperate.
Not only the children came to urge, but the parents also followed suit.
From Gao Shen's house to Su Qing's house, it's actually not a few steps, just walk over.
No, the custom is not like that.
According to the rules, they had to go out from the community, circle around, enter through the main gate of the community, pick up people, go out again, circle around, and then enter through the main gate.
Okay, okay, who will let us get married?
Around!
After finally arriving at the bride's house, if you want to enter the door, you can't, you have to go through five barriers and kill six generals first.
Eating mustard, doing push-ups, etc., are considered light, and worse...
Stop talking, talking too much will hurt others.
Anyway, that was a disaster.
Fortunately, Gao Shen had the foresight to bring along a group of children, and the group of little devils went on a rampage one by one, and they couldn't be stopped, and they snatched out the well-dressed bride in a short time.
After toasting tea, run quickly.
On the way home, Su Qing quietly told Gao Shen that she was even worse, and she woke up after five o'clock.
Why so early?
You have to dress up, put on makeup, and there are a lot of rules before you go out.
"I haven't eaten yet." Su Qing looked sad, obviously hungry.
Gao Shen feels more balanced now.
Sure enough, it is actually a kind of luck to have someone to share your misfortune with yourself.
After finally returning home, there are a lot of rules again, and there are still people making trouble.
For example, the bride's facial scarf was snatched as soon as she entered the courtyard.
What kind of cigarettes, alcohol, etc... don't want it?
All right, brother, you can make a condition.
What? Want labor and management to sing in public?
Holy crap, I'm afraid you forgot, you always copied my homework in elementary school, passed the exam several times, and even peeked at my test paper, now you are torturing me? rebelled against you!
In the end, with great difficulty, I sent my wife into a new house.
Gao Shen secretly touched some food, stuffed it into Su Qing's hands, and asked her to close the door and eat slowly.
According to the custom, she really can't eat, but Gao Shen doesn't care about that?
My wife's figure is just right, so I don't need to lose weight.
After going out, it was another toss.
A big leader came from the province. He said that he had dealt with Su Qing when he was in the capital before, and the leaders of the city were also with him.
The amount of donations this time is not small, and the social significance is great. Especially these years, they have been vigorously advocated. Gao Shen is just suitable for use as a model for publicity. It is a good start for future community residents, and even the general public. a model.
Gao Shen is like a tool man, calling here and calling over there.
It was okay at the beginning, but gradually, his mind started to go blank.
There is no way, the scene is too lively and there are too many people.
He didn't even know how many relatives he had recognized and how many old friends he had met.
When everyone met him, they basically praised him, so he had to smile and be polite.
In the end I was really sleepy.
Normally, the banquets in my hometown usually have one meal at noon and one meal at night.
But isn't it popular to do simple things now?
Gao Shen and the others canceled the noon meal, changed it to three dishes and one soup, and only had a banquet in the evening.
It is not easy to say.
How can it be so easy to change decades, or even hundreds of years of customs?
No one wanted to start it, so as not to be gossiped behind, so Jian Ban shouted for many years, but it never stopped.
Many people have suffered from it, but when it comes to themselves, they have to bite the bullet and even borrow money.
This time, the high-level and simple management, although there are a lot of banquets, but the change from two meals to one meal has already reduced a lot of burden.
And he invited the residents and relatives and old friends in the community, that's why he needed so many.
If this is changed to another house, it is estimated that twenty or thirty tables will be finished, which greatly reduces the burden.
Weddings are all reduced, so other things will naturally be reduced as well. This is also a custom.
Also because of this, the big guys didn't say anything on the surface, and some even said something like it's a pity to do it simply, but everyone knew it clearly in their hearts, and this was also a great thing to benefit the village.
After all, in the future, if people simplify the arrangements, they can confidently say: If the advanced marriages are simplified, of course we will follow suit.
As for Gao Shen, who would say he is picky?
Therefore, everyone in this wedding was very dedicated, and they were all sincerely happy for Gao Shen and Su Qing.
...
After finally finishing the banquet, seeing off the guests, and returning home, the whole person was lying on the bed, and before he had time to hug his wife, the errand came again.
According to the rules, he had to go back home tomorrow, and the Su family would come over early in the morning to pick up Su Qing.
Want to pick it up?
Sophistication has to be a toss.
In fact, it saved another meal.
Originally, according to the customs of my hometown, there was a homecoming banquet, but now it is held together with the wedding.
The relatives and friends of the man and the woman all invited together, so there was no back-to-door banquet.
But the etiquette that should go, none of them can be missed.
It's another busy day.
The day after tomorrow, both parents made an appointment to go out together to offer incense and fulfill their vows. They said they would go to many places and they would have to be busy for two days.
Just listening to Gao Shen, he felt that the enmity was deep and bitter.
This marriage is... more tiring than coaching a game.
"At the beginning, I told you not to do it. You said you should follow the rules of your hometown, but now you complain..."
Su Qing smiled angrily and said, kneading the muscles of her shoulders and hands for Gao Shen with both hands.
Gao Shen smiled cheerfully, "Aren't I going to return to my hometown?"
Su Qing rolled her eyes at him, but she didn't believe his rhetoric.
In fact, she knew in her heart that Gao Shen didn't want to wrong her.
According to the custom in her hometown, even if she got the certificate, she would not be marrying Gao Shen in a serious manner without this wedding.
Although they may seldom come back in the future, and it may even be difficult for them to get in touch with these relatives and old friends in the community again, it is hard to guarantee that all of them will remember, or even always remember, that the girl from the Su family didn't even get married. Followed the kid from the Gao family.
This is certainly not a good rumor, is it?
Also, even if they are young, can they see it, but can the older generation see it?
Wouldn't Su Qing's parents have pimples in their hearts?
"Okay, didn't I just say something casually?" Gao Shen smiled and took Su Qing's hand, and pulled it hard, and she lay down all over, and the two turned their eyes on each other.
"Let me tell you, my mother has spoken, telling you to work harder and give birth to children for our Lao Gao's family."
Even though they are old couples, 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, how do you say that sentence? There is no plowed field, only exhausted oxen. I swear to be the oxen that plowed the field!"
Seeing that his words were getting more and more outrageous, Su Qing gave him a hard look, and shyly slipped into his arms.
...
Gao Shen took a two-week leave with Manchester City.
After he was busy with the big and small things at the wedding, it was almost time to go back.
Before leaving, he took Su Qing to visit the neighbors and relatives and old friends in the community from door to door, which was full of etiquette.
Before he left, Gao Jianguo and Su Zhijun had already negotiated and bought the 200-acre land that Gao Shen had requested from the management committee of the development zone, and the next step was to go through a series of formalities.
But it will take some time. If the construction starts, it is estimated that it will not be until next year at the earliest.
Fortunately, the company is not in a hurry.
When the parents of both parties sent them to the airport, they were naturally nagging again, just to hurry up and have a baby.
Anyway, it's the same old rhetoric.
Gao Shen told them not to be too tired, and to live in the UK when they had time, after all their careers are now in Europe.
When she came to the capital, Su Qing entertained some classmates, former leaders and colleagues here.
Many people have helped Leeds United's domestic investment promotion before, 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. They said they wanted to set up an office in China, and the action was taken soon, and 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. Both are home appliance brands, but they belong to different fields, and there is no conflict. The sponsorship fees are not expensive, but the cooperation has been discussed for more than two months. We just talked about it.
This can be regarded as a good start for the promotion of Leeds United in China and Asia.
Just as Gao Shen finished his domestic work and was about to return to Europe with Su Qing, the national team match was coming to an end.
But at this moment, a piece of news suddenly broke out, which caused an earthquake in European football.
