Chapter 25 Wedding——I will protect you forever!
After hearing what An Jianmin said, the others actually had some ideas.
Especially when I just heard An Jianping talk about how he couldn’t raise enough money to buy a wedding house for his son.
All the brothers and sisters in the An family are married except the children of the eldest family.
Most of the children from other families are not married!
Among his brothers and sisters, An Jianping is considered to be better at making money.
Not only did he go straight to Shuncheng No. 1 Silk Weaving Factory after graduating from junior college, but his wife was also a city dweller and also had a formal job.
Even after the reform and opening up, he helped many private factories with accounting.
Although his ability to make money is not as good as An Jianmin, whose fruit business has been booming in recent years.
But this family background should be rare and rich among brothers and sisters.
Even he said that he couldn't raise enough money to buy a new house for his son, so he changed their own...
"Are you planning to buy the new house in Songlin?" An Ergu asked with some disbelief.
Since ancient times, seeking marriage requires sincerity.
In ancient times, when a couple got married, the betrothal gifts prepared by wealthy families would include everything from food, clothing, and daily necessities.
On the contrary, the new era has begun to simplify.
But things are changing so fast that if you are not careful you will fall behind the times.
When she married my eldest brother, the three turns and one ring was still popular.
After the third year, the new three pieces became popular.
When my eldest niece got married, they added some small electrical appliances in addition to the three new items.
All kinds of stereos and DVD players started to become available.
Some wealthy families even have air conditioners, mobile phones, etc.
Now that we are almost entering the millennium, people have to start buying houses when they get married.
So in two years, will we need to prepare a car too?
Thinking of this, An Ergu felt a stronger sense of crisis.
"We have really treated our two children unfairly. We plan to find a way to save money for two more years and then see if there is a better fit."
An Jianping did not hide anything from his brothers and sisters.
But after hearing what he said, everyone else was very impressed.
Songlin, this kid, really found a perfect partner.
Even his father-in-law's family has to be considerate enough, otherwise he won't be able to marry his daughter-in-law.
The more this happened, the more ideas the other people had.
How could they, as brothers and sisters, not know what kind of person An Jianping is?
Since he has already said that this is unfair to the two children, he should prepare to save money for another two years.
That means he will definitely provide the wedding house for the young children in two years.
However, according to what he is doing in Jiangcun now...
Could it be that Jiangcun really has such great potential?
How could he be so convinced that his investment would be recovered within two years and would bring him a considerable return?
In the evening, everyone in the An family stayed at An Songyu's house and several nearby neighbors' homes, barely getting by for the night.
The next morning, everyone got up early and started to get busy.
At the same time, the An family members who were not present yesterday also rushed over early this morning.
Among them were today's boys and girls.
The An family’s wedding today was held in the family area.
Therefore, all the wedding items must be carried out from the family area.
Before ten o'clock, the An family's wedding reception was set up downstairs.
The first to arrive was a pair of large white geese that were still quacking.
In Shuncheng, this is a symbol of exchanging a beautiful goose for a beautiful girl.
Next comes the book box, and after that are the four gifts of wedding candy, wedding wine, tea, and fruit.
There are also incense, candles, wine jugs, red umbrellas, etc.
The things were moved to the entrance of the family quarters by people who had already called, and then moved there by An Jianan's small truck.
For his nephew's wedding, An Jianan not only washed the small truck he usually used for moving things clean yesterday, but also pasted the red double happiness pattern and other festive decorations on it.
In addition, there were three cars and several motorcycles coming to welcome the bride.
This was borrowed by mobilizing all the connections of the An family.
The auspicious time is approaching.
Amid the sound of firecrackers, the convoy started off.
The An Songyu sisters wore new clothes and rode in a car with their two cousins.
In the car in front sat An Songlin, his best man, and a group of boys and girls.
Also sitting in the car at the back were my second aunt, my cousins, and my eldest sister-in-law.
In the last truck sat Mr. Yali and his fourth uncle who was driving.
As for the rest of the people, they could only sit on the motorcycle and enjoy the breeze.
The group happily arrived at Xuan's house, but were blocked outside the door.
The people welcoming the bride were ready.
The first thing was a test of intelligence, starting with guessing riddles and then brain teasers.
The four sisters An Songyu also offered advice and suggestions, and they finally got through this difficult stage.
Then, bribed by red envelopes, everyone finally entered the gate.
But at this point, it’s still a long way to meeting the new person!
The physical test that followed.
This is not something An Songyu and his companions can help with.
I watched everyone from the groom to the best man go through a series of push-ups, squats and frog jumps.
An Songyu even sang "The Moon Represents My Heart" at the door before he finally saw the bride.
But it’s not over yet.
The bridesmaids and the Xuan sisters, who had been prepared, took out chopsticks and plates.
There are peanuts and red dates on the plate, and they are required to pick up a certain number within the specified time to pass.
This time, it was not An Songlin’s groomsmen who showed up.
Instead, it was his uncle’s cousin who had already developed his hand speed in the orchard at home.
Sure enough, he lived up to his expectations. As the bridesmaids counted down faster and faster, he successfully picked up enough.
The bridesmaids laughed regretfully.
The best men immediately started to clamor to take the bride away, but the bridesmaids were unwilling to do so.
So they took out the balloons again: "This is the final test!"
As she spoke, she smiled quite proudly:
"Blow up the balloon in a shape that represents the groom's feelings for the bride."
The groomsmen were dumbfounded for a moment when they saw the colorful but simple round balloons.
The An Songyu sisters immediately gathered together to discuss the matter.
After a while, the sisters directed the groomsmen to start blowing up balloons.
It is not so easy to shape an ordinary round balloon.
So the sisters simply asked them to blow up the balloons.
Tie the round balloons together to form a heart shape.
Although other tools were used, at least the requirements were met.
This time, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The bridesmaids also kept their promise and stopped making things difficult for the groom after receiving the red envelopes.
However, it is obviously not that easy to pick up the bride.
Looking at the bride's little feet in red socks, the groom and his groomsmen started looking for wedding shoes.
Unfortunately, the brides hid carefully, and it still took several red envelopes to get the reminder.
An Songlin finally got the pair of beautiful wedding shoes.
He knelt on one knee in front of Xuan Ying and carefully put on her shoes before looking up and saying solemnly:
"Aying, today you are my bride. I am very happy and excited."
"From today on, we will spend our whole lives together. I promise you, I will treat you well."
"I will listen to you carefully and respect your ideas. I will work hard to make money and take you to eat delicious food and have fun."
"I will take the initiative to do housework and share your worries in life and work."
"If there are conflicts in life, I will admit my mistakes first. I will put you and our family first in my life."
"I will do my best to make your life easy and comfortable."
"I will spend my whole life to prove my love for you."
"So, Aying, come with me now! I will protect you forever!"
