Chapter 681: A Story Within a Story Wedding
The second day of August 1977 was Chinese Valentine’s Day.
Those who have lovers will naturally not miss this festival, while those who don’t have lovers will naturally celebrate it carelessly.
Yang Ying couldn't ask her son about his relationship directly, so she could only talk to her husband, "Do you think Jiasheng has someone he likes? I haven't heard him mention this since he came back."
Zhong Bangyou put down the newspaper in his hand, looked at his wife and smiled faintly, "If there is, he should say it, if not, then it is definitely not there.
If you have nothing to do, you can help see if there is anyone suitable to introduce him to you."
After hearing this, Yang Ying pondered over it thoughtfully, counting in her mind which families had daughters of the right age.
But I don’t know what type my son likes, so it’s difficult to select.
She never does matchmaking, but now she has to set a precedent for her son. It is already late for Jiasheng in some aspects, but it cannot be too late to get married and have children.
Starting a family and building a career always have to take one of them.
After Zhao Sheng returned to the Zhong family, he had relatively free time in the first week. After that, his schedule was fully scheduled every day, and there were many and diverse things that required his attention and study.
He focused all his attention on important matters and lived a comfortable and simple life.
But this calmness is so great that there is always a moment during leisure time when it is out of control.
Although I found my family, it seemed like I had missed something.
There are many festivals in the second half of the year, and August 10th is the Ghost Festival.
Every household worships their ancestors, burns incense and paper, and recites scriptures to pray for peace.
A cemetery garden somewhere in Hong Kong is also overcrowded.
Lin Yiyi took an hour to burn paper money for Zhao Sheng, only to find that the black and white photo on the tombstone was gone.
She had clearly stuck it firmly on and even wrapped it with a layer of plastic film, but no one knew what strange wind blew the "photo" away.
I didn’t bring a writing pen today, so I can only plan to stick it on after I finish drawing it next time.
They picked up flour and formed two circles, lit incense and burned paper, muttered a few words, and poked the burning paper money with a stick.
The smell of incense ash and candles was a bit choking, and Lin Yiyi coughed several times.
I don’t know if he can receive it over there, but with Zhao Sheng’s physique, he should be able to snatch it even if he can’t receive it.
She looked around at the pig heads, fruits, and dried fruit offerings placed by other people's homes, then looked down at the peanut chocolates and biscuits she had brought from home, and always felt that they were a bit shabby.
She came here without Ding Li's knowledge, and since they were acting secretly, it would be inappropriate for her to bring any obvious offerings.
Then he bowed solemnly and muttered, "Don't compare yourself with others when you get there. I burned a lot of paper money and gold ingots for you.
You can buy whatever you want to eat or wear with the money you get.”
Lin Yiyi only treated Zhao Sheng as a deceased relative, and after doing these things, she quickly returned to the Ding family.
Ding Li pretended to be unaware of what Lin Yiyi had done. Although she felt a little upset, in her heart, Zhao Sheng was just a poor deceased man.
There was no need for him to bring this up.
Fortunately, the wedding was approaching, and after two rains in the middle of the month, it was the end of the month.
The wedding was held on a small island on the sea. Compared with a hotel in the city, the environment here is better, the venue is larger, and most importantly, it is more private and safe.
The island is not far from the port city and can be reached by yacht in 40 minutes.
Except for guests who don't have yachts and need to be picked up, all other prominent families take their own yachts.
There were many people attending the wedding, and the docks on both sides were filled with yachts.
As soon as the sky turned pale, Lin Yiyi was forced to get up, wash, do her makeup and hairstyle, and then change into a dress. With so many tedious procedures, her face was almost stiff from smiling.
Fortunately, she had two cousins, Huo, arranged by her mother-in-law to help her, otherwise she didn’t know how chaotic it would be.
She was flustered, but Ding Li's smile never stopped. He had never participated in a wedding banquet from beginning to end in his life, and he only felt that it was noisy and vulgar.
It was not until he married Lin Yiyi that Ding Li realized how appropriate the all-encompassing red was and how fitting those auspicious words that had made people's ears calloused were.
After arriving at the island, Lin Yiyi changed into a mermaid wedding dress, and by 10:50 all the guests had arrived.
The open-air wedding officially begins.
Because her parents were not present, the Huo family had to act as her family and help support the bride. Ding Li stood at the finish line waiting for his bride, his expression full of impatience.
Although they were only a few dozen meters apart, he felt it was so far away. If it weren't for the marriage rules, Ding Li would have wanted to run to her immediately.
After waiting for a long time for Lin Yiyi to walk in front of him, the witness started talking a lot, and then the parents of both sides spoke.
Lin Yiyi's face was covered with a layer of white lace tulle, which obstructed her vision and prevented her from seeing Ding Li's expression clearly. In her heart, she vaguely regretted choosing this wedding dress with a more than ten-meter-long veil and a floor-length skirt.
Beauty is beauty, fantasy is fantasy.
But I always feel like I'm being treated like a broom spirit.
"Mr. Ding Li, please put the wedding ring on Miss Lin Yiyi now."
As soon as he finished speaking, the staff nearby immediately brought out a gift box decorated with flowers.
The huge diamond ring was so dazzling that the guests on both sides were shocked.
It also caused a lot of whispers: "Is this a diamond ring? It must be as big as rock candy."
"Don't you think about what kind of business the Ding and Huo families are in? They have diamonds no matter how big they are."
......
After the newlyweds put their rings on each other, the witness smiled and raised the microphone, "I declare that from today on, Mr. Ding Li and Ms. Lin Yiyi are officially married."
"Mr. Ding Li, you may kiss your bride now."
Ding Li finally waited for this moment, the corners of his mouth raised more and more obviously. He raised his hand to lift Lin Yiyi's white veil, his burning eyes fell on her charming face, and the love in his heart could no longer be restrained.
The flower wedding at the seaside was exactly what Lin Yiyi had imagined to be romantic, but standing in the sand in high heels, her height really changed back and forth from 1.66 meters to 1.76 meters.
Fortunately, I have his arms to lean on, so the romance can continue...
The weather was too good, blue sky and white clouds, everything was so beautiful.
Even the sea breeze carries the fragrance of flowers.
After a kiss, the ceremony is over.
Without the veil to cover her, facing dozens or even hundreds of pairs of eyes, Lin Yiyi couldn't help feeling a little shy. Most of the lipstick on her lips was kissed off by the man. If she hadn't pinched him secretly, it's unknown how long Ding Li would have kissed her.
The wedding banquet started at noon.
The scene was controlled by Ding's father and mother.
Lin Yiyi and Ding Li went to the villa to change into traditional dresses. They couldn't help but complain in their hearts that getting married was really tiring.
Ding Li acted quickly. After changing into his toast clothes, he had someone bring in the lemon tea and cake that had been prepared in advance.
He walked a few steps to Lin Yiyi, looked at her happily, his eyes as gentle as water.
“Yiyi, hold on for a while longer. We will go out and show up for another half an hour. Leave everything else to me. You can go back to your room to eat and rest.”
Lin Yiyi looked at him and nodded her chin, then lowered her head to adjust the hem of her skirt. After she was done, she sat on the sofa to drink lemon tea and eat cake.
After filling his empty stomach a little, he scooped another spoonful of cake and fed him, “You eat too, getting married is really a physical job.
Just drink less wine later, just for the sake of your intention."
Lin Yiyi was afraid that he would get drunk, which would smell terrible.
Ding Li looked at her without blinking, ate the cake and held her tightly.
He lowered his head to the side of her neck and confessed to her in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"Yiyi, I love you."
Lin Yiyi paused licking the cake beside her lips and turned to look at her love-minded husband who was clinging to her.
He hummed with a smile, "I know. Ah, open your mouth and have another bite of cake."
