October 31st, sunny, good for getting married!
As the eldest daughter of the Shen family, Shen Anning's wedding can be said to be as grand and glorious as possible.
The courtyard in the compound was hung with festive red decorations half a month ago, and the invitations were written by the old men of the two families. This thoughtfulness alone made countless young girls waiting to get married in the compound envious.
It was not even five o'clock in the morning when Shen Anning, Shen Anxuan and Shen Zixi were pulled up to put on makeup and change clothes. Cao Jingheng had many friends in the army and the police station, and he couldn't count the number of people who wanted to be his best men with both hands. The couple discussed it and decided to have six best men and six bridesmaids. As his younger sister, Shen Anxuan must be included.
"Mom, I'm so sleepy. I want to sleep a little longer."
"Yeah, it's not even five o'clock yet, Mom, let me and my sister sleep a little longer, there's no rush anyway."
Shen Zixi was sleeping so soundly that even their conversations couldn't wake her up.
Mother Shen looked at the three people who had very similar sleeping postures, feeling both angry and amused. Last night, the aunt and nephew chatted until midnight, and they only went to sleep after she came up and knocked on the door. Now, look, they can't get up.
"I'm really at the end of my rope because of you three. Who was the one who stayed awake and had to talk last night? You don't talk at other times, but you chose last night. Look, you can't get up now, right? You two, hurry up and get up, wash up, and put on makeup. Stop bothering Xixi, hurry up!"
The two sisters were spanked twice by their mother, and finally opened their sleepy eyes. Seeing Shen's mother standing by the bed with a clothes rack, they woke up instantly and were no longer sleepy. They changed their clothes very quickly and ran into the bathroom to wash up.
The downstairs was already busy. Shen Anchen, Peng Wei, and Peng Zhe, as the men in the family who were still single despite their age, played a very important role at this time, welcoming and seeing off people, moving things, and going wherever they were needed.
Shen Anchen, who had been thinking about his sister getting married so that he could show off his majesty as an uncle, was slapped in the face by Grandpa Shen. He was so old and not looking for a partner. You know, one of the reasons for deciding to get married after Shen Anning graduated was to give Shen Anchen a chance, but this guy has been single for so many years and was not in the Beijing Military Region before, so there was no way to urge him.
Mother Shen looked at her son, who was smiling and hooking his arms around the necks of several other boys in the compound. She took a deep breath and decided to just tolerate him for one day. After today, he would suffer!
Because she was wearing a Chinese wedding dress, she didn’t have to worry about her stomach getting bloated from eating too much, so Shen Anning had a hearty breakfast.
At eight o'clock, people from the compound began to come to the door. The little girl sat upstairs with Shen An Ning and the others, talking and chatting. Those who were close to her even gave her additional dowries. They were not expensive, some were a pair of pillowcases, some were mandarin duck soap boxes. In short, they were all given in pairs, which meant good luck.
Shen Anning looked at everyone sitting there bored, “An Xuan, Xixi, go get some candy from the box for everyone to eat.
Do you want some water? There are cups and kettles over there, you're welcome."
In order to look good, wedding candies are all packed in red paper boxes. A small box contains sixteen pieces of candy, which is quite small and convenient to hold in the hand.
Several girls who were also of marriageable age were very fond of it. "Sister An Ning, is this candy box custom-made? It looks really nice."
"I bought that big red cardboard, cut it up, and then assembled it myself. When you were in middle school, didn't you all learn to make paper boxes in handicraft class? You just took a needle and threaded two thick threads on it, and then you could carry it with your hands. It was very convenient."
"Oh, it's true. There are still traces of glue here."
"When I get married, I'll pack my wedding candy like this. The ones you grab by the handful won't be as good as this."
"Hey, you've only been dating this guy for a short time, and you're already thinking about getting married? Didn't you say last time that you wanted to observe him a little more?"
"Hey, I'm anxious."
"What are you talking about? What are you talking about? Wait until you get married, and I'll make fun of you..."
"Don't tickle me..."
"That's unethical!"
The girls in the room were chatting and laughing, and time passed quickly.
At 10:10, the wedding car arrived at the door of the Shen family on time. Cao Jingheng and his group of brothers were all wearing navy blue Zhongshan suits. Several people who usually wore military and police uniforms looked particularly handsome in Zhongshan suits. A man who was 1.8 meters tall attracted more girls' attention in the crowd.
The bridesmaids leaned against the window, watching and commenting. Even Xu Hongxia, who was very picky, couldn't say anything critical when looking at them.
If the groom wanted to take the bride away, the first step would definitely be for his brothers-in-law. Shen Anning's two elder brothers, three younger brothers, plus Qin's cousin, six grown men blocked the door tightly, leaving no room at all.
Cao Jingheng touched his forehead which was not sweating. Having so many brothers-in-law is a troublesome thing!
"Hey, Lao Cao, you're really awesome. Look at your brothers-in-law, none of them seem easy to mess with. What should I do?"
"Yeah, what should we do, Captain? If we fight, they will definitely not be a match for our brothers. It's just that this hand doesn't seem to be that mobile."
"The brothers who came here are no match for us. I heard that Brother Cao's brother-in-law and brother-in-law are both from Tsinghua University and Peking University. Although we are not bad, we are not good enough just because we graduated from high school!"
Heart-breaking, truly heart-breaking.
Listening to what these idiots said, Cao Jingheng really regretted it. How could they have won out among the group of people?
After much persuasion, giving countless red envelopes, making several unfair terms to his three younger brothers-in-law, agreeing to several unreasonable requests from his three older brothers-in-law, and tidying up his relatively tidy clothes, Cao Jingheng finally brought his six brothers to the second floor.
There are more than a dozen girls standing and sitting in the room. How does it feel to have so many people asking for red envelopes at the same time?
"Captain, can you give it to me?"
"Red envelopes are easy to negotiate. We can give you as much as you want. Girls, whoever opens the door first gets a big red envelope!"
Several people looked at Li Qingyun who was speaking. What a talented person!
"Yes, open the door first. There's a thick stack of red envelopes. Oh my god, they can't even fit through the crack of the door, girls!"
The girls inside were completely amused by these funny guys. Xu Hongxia was the one who reacted the fastest, "Then you open it and stuff it in. Let us see how big the red envelope is."
Ha! I've met my match!
Each red envelope contained ten yuan. Cao Jingheng took out the cash that was not wrapped in the red envelope and stuffed twenty bills into the crack of the door.
What do you need to do to take the bride away when you get married?
Pass five levels and kill six generals!
Finally, Cao Jingheng and his brothers finally entered the door. Seeing Shen Anning in a red wedding dress, he was finally going to take his girl home.
