Because it is an engagement ceremony, the whole process is much simpler than a wedding. After the two grooms came on stage, the master of ceremonies invited the elders from both sides to come on stage, briefly introduced the two grooms, and then it was time for the elders from both sides to speak.
As the head of the Li family, even though he is now retired, Grandpa Li still stepped forward without hesitation. He spent nearly ten minutes using various parallel sentences to express to all the guests how excited the Li family was that Li Xiaoheng was able to sell out his inventory before he turned thirty, and how satisfied he was with Tao Mu, his grandson-in-law. Finally, I wish the two newlyweds a long and happy life together. As the elders, they will try their best to be the strongest support for the two newcomers.
Since it was Grandpa Li who spoke on behalf of the Li family, the spokesperson for the Tao family was naturally Grandpa Song. Compared to the blood relationship of the Li family, although Tao Mu's family members are not related by blood, the affection between them is equally deep. Especially for Mr. Song, who had experienced the destruction of his family, Tao Mu's existence was equivalent to filling the vacancy of his son who died young. Now, watching Tao Mu grow up and start a family, Mr. Song seemed to see his own son growing up and starting a family in another time and space. I was filled with emotion for a moment. Finally, of course, I wish the two newlyweds a happy marriage.
The next step is to drink the soup. At a wedding, people drink cups of wine together. Nowadays, at an engagement ceremony, this part is replaced by the newlyweds drinking a bowl of happy union soup together. In fact, according to the ancestral precepts of the Song family, this bowl of soup should be cooked by the descendants of the Song family and fed to the daughter-in-law personally. But Li Xiaoheng is not a girl after all. Marriage is the union of two sexes. Old Master Song also didn't want to embarrass the Li family by upholding the Song family's ancestral precepts.
So the part became that the two newlyweds drank the wedding soup together in front of all the guests at the banquet. I have to say that Tao Mu's cooking skills are really good, and the ingredients of the Hundred Years of Happiness Soup are indeed fresh. The beauty and skin care effects are immediate - after the two newlyweds who had not slept all night drank the wedding soup, their faces suddenly became rosy, their eyes were clear and they felt refreshed, and even their skin seemed to be more radiant.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the audience became more and more agitated. Many young people, represented by the younger generations of the Li family, whistled mischievously. Some people even asked loudly whether the soup tasted good.
Li Xiaoheng put down the bowl of soup calmly and responded with full energy, "It tastes good."
With a loud bang——
The screams and clapping from the audience became louder and louder. No one expected that Li Xiaoheng, who was always serious and dull, could be so lively at times. He actually responded to everyone's joke.
Some guests recorded this scene with their mobile phones, and could not restrain their eager fingers and directly uploaded the short video to Feixun. The fans who had been waiting online for the news were instantly excited. People were staring at the short video of just a few dozen seconds, screaming and clicking on the likes and reposts. In less than half an hour, the related video became a hot topic.
Unaware of the online uproar, the engagement ceremony had already reached the part where Tao Mu sang for Li Xiaoheng. In a Chinese-style wedding with antique decorations, it is actually quite incongruous to have a piano on the stage and sing and play by yourself. But the atmosphere is not important. What is important is the feelings of the two people - Tao Mu wrote the lyrics and music for the song he wrote for Li Xiaoheng. The two played the piano with four hands at the engagement ceremony, expressing their harmonious feelings.
Therefore, this video, which lasted less than five minutes, was uploaded to Feixun.com from various angles by the guests present. During the summer vacation, the number of real-name registered users of Feixun.com has risen to more than 199.9 million, and is about to break through the 200 million mark. The singing benefits that Tao Mu had promised to everyone were actually released ahead of schedule. Netizens across the country were excited and quickly forwarded and liked the post. The number of registered users of Feixun.com also broke the 200 million mark that evening.
It can be said to be a double happiness.
"cheers!"
After the ceremonial part of the engagement ceremony was over, the wedding banquet officially began. Old Master Song personally took charge and taught the Song family apprentices how to prepare a wedding banquet. The appearance, aroma and taste were beyond words. Even the peach blossom wine brewed with the Song family's secret recipe was highly praised.
Tao Mu and Li Xiaoheng followed the two elders, toasting and greeting each table. After hearing so many blessings, I was already drunk even though I didn't drink much.
After three rounds of drinks, the guests who had been somewhat restrained finally relaxed. The two originally clearly separated seats of relatives and friends were now in a mess. Some wanted autographs and photos, while others took advantage of the alcohol to discuss collaboration and endorsements. Fortunately, everyone had a rope in their minds and did not forget that this was Tao Mu and Li Xiaoheng's engagement ceremony. In the end, the ceremony did not overshadow the main event and was treated as an investment promotion conference and celebrity meet-and-greet event.
Grandpa Li, Dad Li, and Mom Li were already drunk. She pulled Li Xiaoheng's sleeve and cried. With tears in his eyes, he said that his son had finally grown up and found a wife. From now on, they no longer have to worry about their eldest son being unwanted and remaining single for the rest of his life.
"…You have to treat Xiao Mu well!"
Mother Li hugged Tao Mu's shoulders and burst into tears: "Thanks to you for not disliking our Xiao Heng's age. I tell you that being older also has its advantages, it will be more caring!"
Tao Mu supported Mother Li, who was already staggering, and looked at Li Xiaoheng helplessly: "Don't worry, Auntie. Xiaoheng is very good. The two of us will grow old together and support each other for the rest of our lives."
"Call me mom!" Mother Li continued to hug Tao Mu and said half drunk and half pretending, "Although we are only engaged and not married yet. But I really hope you can call me mom. I have been looking forward to having you as my son-in-law for more than 30 years."
Li Xiaoheng: “…” I’m not even thirty years old yet!
Father Li's ears moved, and he looked at Tao Mu with burning eyes. Soon the other members of the Li family also looked over. The air suddenly became quiet. Even the other guests who were drinking and chatting slowly noticed the atmosphere here and gradually quieted down.
Being watched by so many people, Tao Mu looked at Li Xiaoheng uncomfortably. Li Xiaoheng also looked down at him with gentle eyes. His eyes were full of expectation and tenderness.
Tao Mu pursed his lips nervously and called out softly, "Mom."
Mother Li's eyes lit up and she quickly responded, "Hey!"
Then she took out a long-prepared red envelope from her exquisite little handbag and stuffed it into Tao Mu's hand without saying anything: "From now on, we are a family. I will treat you as my own son. I will treat you better than Xiao Heng."
Before he finished speaking, Father Li couldn't wait to ask, "What about me?"
Tao Mu yelled "Mom", even though his face was burning, he still gave it his all. He called "Dad" again. Soon after, Grandpa Li and other immediate family members also came over.
Seeing this, Li Xiaoheng took the initiative to call for help without waiting for Mr. Song and Liu Yaomeng to speak.
Because of this early change of words, everyone in the Li family was particularly excited and gave the two grooms another round of wine. By the time the engagement ceremony was over, even Tao Mu, who had a good alcohol tolerance, and Li Xiaoheng, who had never been drunk, were staggering drunk. The two families worked together to send them back to their new home.
At that time, they were both fast asleep. But a pair of hands were tightly held together and could not be separated.
