Chapter 801 Marriage
The same scenery and the same road, Wu Xue followed Yang Dongxu half a step behind and walked slowly. She already knew that Yang Dongxu was going to get married, but she seemed to be avoiding something since she never got married. But today, Yang Dongxu came to deliver the invitation in person. She knew that all the avoidance would eventually lead to facing reality.
Walking to the gate of the community, looking at Wu Xue who was half a step behind him and looking at him blankly but without focus, Yang Dongxu turned his head and stretched out his hand to rub her head.
Wu Xue, who was in a daze, opened his hand with an annoyed look.
"I heard that the supporting dormitory building where you are moving to the new Education Bureau has not been built yet. You have to take the bus for nearly an hour to go to work every day. I have a house over there that has been cleaned. You can move there when you find time." Yang Dongxu He took out a key from his pocket.
Wu Xue looked at him blankly and said nothing.
He stretched out his hand to grab Wu Xue's hand and put the key in her hand: "Don't be polite to me. Your sister Zhou won't care about this. In fact, if you have spare money, or if your uncles and aunts have spare money, Magic The housing prices here are pretty good right now, and you can buy a house with a down payment. Anyway, since the three of you have stable mortgages, it won’t be too much of a pressure.”
Wu Xue stared blankly at Yang Dongxu, who still didn't speak, nor did he push back the key in his hand.
Yang Dongxu smiled and stretched out his hand to rub her head again. This time Wu Xue did not open his hand angrily. After blinking at Wu Xue and waving his hand, Yang Dongxu turned around and left without looking back.
Until his back disappeared into the night, tears fell from Wu Xue's eyes, and he still stood there blankly without speaking. After a while, Wu Xue's mother came over and put a coat on her, put her arm around her shoulders, and pulled Wu Xue, who was still in a daze, towards home.
It was Yang Dongxu's decision to come to Wu Xue's house in person to deliver invitations after careful consideration. The relationship between the two people was a bit complicated, including the love between brother and sister, the love between an adult man and a woman, and an overbearing greed for looking at his own good cabbage.
It is precisely because of this complicated relationship that Yang Dongxu can be good with Chen Hong, take advantage of Bai Qian, shamelessly ask Li Fuzhen for forgiveness, and rely on Chen Xin's attachment to him to use material things to make up for the fame he cannot give. point.
But this obviously doesn't work for Wu Xue. When it comes to relationships, even if Zhou Ya is removed, Wu Xue is still not his favorite, but she is the most special one.
So while Wu Xue is dodging, Zhou Ya is definitely the one she will marry in this life and will not change. So Yang Dongxu now stood up and made a settlement.
From now on, the two of them should just be brother and sister. He tried his best to control the man's desire to occupy all the good things. Looking at this relationship from the perspective of a brother, I hope Wu Xue can find his own happiness.
As time entered the twelfth lunar month, Yang Dongxu began to prepare for his wedding while handling company affairs. There was no need to worry about the banquet at Yanjing. After all, it was for the beginning of next year and could be postponed.
Now he is mainly busy with the banquet at home. First of all, he must invite his godfather Zhou Yiren back. Even after inviting his godfather back to the village this time, Yang Dongxu does not plan to let his godfather resign and retire.
After working hard for most of my life, I should enjoy the peace and happiness at home. If I stay in the village, I will be familiar with the old buddies, and I can also be with Mr. Xuan as a companion.
And it's not far from Zhucheng. The school of traditional Chinese medicine is now becoming more and more effective and has become famous in the country. In order to promote its own faction, there are many experienced old traditional Chinese medicine doctors there all year round to train students.
In Chengwang City, which is less than half an hour's drive away, there are several designated hospitals that are also internship hospitals for students from the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and expert teachers take students to see them for consultation almost every day. So excluding the gap in equipment, the medical conditions there are no worse than those in Yanjing.
Yang Dongxu can even make up for the gap in medical equipment with a sum of money, which can basically guarantee the medical conditions of the elderly. What's more, Mr. Xuan himself is considered a half-doctor, and Sun Banxian will live in the village for a period of time from time to time. Therefore, it is most suitable to retire in Yangjiacun.
To be honest, it was the first time in his life that Yang Dongxu was getting married and he didn’t know what to do. At so many weddings, he always saw the groom and his family busy, but he didn’t know why it was his turn and he asked questions to do more things. At that time, nothing happened to me.
"Xuzi, do you want the quilt to be pure cotton or silk?" Yang's mother asked.
"Anything is fine."
"Then let's take half and half."
Then Yang’s mother started to call about the silk quilt. She grew her own cotton for the quilt, so she felt at ease only if she made the quilt herself.
Then go home.
"Xu Zi, in addition to the eight big bowls and four soups that we have in the countryside, is there some seafood at the banquet? Just the kind we had when we traveled to Hainan. The people in our village must have never eaten it. They are always proud of it." Uncle Shengli asked.
"Okay, let me call you."
"You don't need to call. I'll make the call. Last time I went on a trip, I got to know a seafood seller very well. I'll make the call."
"Xu Zi, we don't need to find anyone else for the convoy. We will just use our village's cars and big trucks to haul the dowry. When other small cars come together, how about your car taking the lead?" Xiao Wu came over.
"Okay." Yang Dongxu nodded.
"Then it's settled. You go about your business first, and I'll arrange the car." Xiao Wu waved his hand and left.
Yang Dongxu had a lot of question marks on his head. It seemed that everything about marriage was related to him. After all, he was getting married, and both elders and friends would ask for his opinion when preparing for the wedding.
But it seemed that everything had nothing to do with him, and everyone just came up to ask a question. Then he stayed there in a daze, bored, while the people asking questions were busy running around.
On the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month, it is suitable to: get married, open the eyes, worship, pray for blessings, and seek offspring. It is not suitable to: bury, break ground, and open the market.
Although Zhou Ya and he are actually an old couple, and they grew up together, they should have a more balanced mentality. But Yang Dongxu still tossed and turned all night without sleeping.
There are two main reasons for not sleeping well. One is that I can't help thinking about various things. The second is naturally that I am not used to having four or five young men lying on the bed.
In rural areas, it is customary to invite young people of the same generation to help press the bed. Xiaohutou argued with Yang Dongxu for a long time yesterday and almost got beaten up for a place to press the bed. Then it was Xiaotao and Xiaoliang who were not married, plus the general.
As for those who were already married, such as Xiaowu and Daliang, they were directly excluded. One of the four people was playing cards, and Yang Dongxu was in a daze. Then the four of them fell asleep, and Yang Dongxu was still in a daze.
The next day, the group got up at two or three o'clock, and they were more excited than him, the groom, and got on the car and set off for the county town.
Because they needed to pick up the bride, Zhou Ya's home was not here. If they stayed at the elders' home in the same village, it felt that the pick-up link was too short. So they contracted the best hotel in the county town.
Although the wedding reception for relatives and friends was planned to be carried out separately, one wave in Yangjia Village, and another wave after returning to Yanjing after the New Year. But many friends who knew the news still came to Yangjia Village.
If they all lived in the neighbors' homes in the village, it would be a bit too disturbing to the neighbors, so it was just right that they could live in the hotel they contracted, and it was convenient, and by the way, they could act as the bride's family to make the wedding more lively. Everything was packed and set off at four o'clock.
The wedding custom in Yangjia Village is to pick up the bride early, and the bride's side should rush to the sun to send the bride. However, there is no exact time for this, because the sun rises at different times in different seasons, and if it is cloudy, it can only be estimated roughly.
It will basically be around seven o'clock, and then the bride will be taken to the groom's house and the ceremony will be completed before ten o'clock. It is somewhat different from the customs of our ancestors, because according to the rules of the older generation, they all get married at night, and after a banquet, the drunk groom is directly stuffed into the bridal chamber.
Yang Dongxu's wedding was a completely Chinese wedding, but because the distance to pick up the bride was a bit far, a car was used instead of a horse-riding sedan chair.
However, both the layout of the wedding room and the dress are full of Chinese elements. And Yangjia Village did not invite the popular song and dance troupe, but invited a drama troupe, and my uncle also invited a lion dance team and an acrobatic troupe to show off. It made Yangjia Village more lively than the fifteenth meeting, and many small vendors also came to set up stalls.
Not only was Yangjia Village lively, but in the county town where only sanitation workers should get up at four or five in the morning, many people also got up to watch the excitement.
After all, the county town is not big. Someone directly booked the most luxurious hotel in the county town to hold a wedding. The news has been spreading for a long time. What's more important is that there are traffic police on the road to maintain traffic early in the morning. This is undoubtedly amazing.
In addition, the long line of cars constantly loaded the various dowry furniture and electrical appliances that had been bought before into two large trucks. Yang Dongxu was stunned. Can so many things fit in the house?
In order to prepare a wedding room for their son, Yang's father and mother can be said to be swift and resolute. After meeting Zhou Yiren in Yanjing, they went home and flattened the old house and built a new house. It is estimated that it can fit.
After stuffing a bunch of red envelopes into the door, Yang Dongxu took Zhou Ya, who was covered with a red veil, without much resistance. The truck drove ahead, followed by a long line of cars of wedding guests.
It drove through the county town in a mighty manner, and there were police cars in front to lead the way. Yang Dongxu wanted to keep the wedding as low-key as possible, but now there is no way to keep it low-key.
Fortunately, it was not until the year 2000 after the Chinese New Year, and the Internet was not well developed in the millennium. Although such a luxurious wedding would be talked about as a topic of conversation after dinner, it could be mentioned many years later and it could be boasted about, but the sensation was limited to the small county town, and would not spread to the Internet and cause a sensation across the country, and then cause all kinds of sour trolls to disgust people.
Even if he accepted the fact that the low-key wedding became a sensation, what Yang Dongxu did not expect was that this sensation was just the beginning.
