Chapter 350
"Eh, eh, eh, can't enter, absolutely can't enter. I warn you two not to use force on me! I am a serious practitioner..."
"Getting married is so hasty, will there be any fun in the future? In the new society, it's not allowed to tease the bridal chamber,
then you must be intimate for everyone to see, let everyone help you be a happy witness!"
On the west side of the Beijing Zoo in the early morning, in Li Ye's nth courtyard, a simple and lively wedding was being held.
Today was the wedding day of Li Ye's senior sister Yu Xiufen and senior brother Wang Zhiyuan. Li Ye came over early in the morning to help, but felt that this wedding was a bit too "plain and unadorned."
At the wedding in '84, it was not popular to tell the story of falling in love, there were no flowers or balloons, let alone the bride's talented hot dance.
There were only a few strings of crisp firecrackers, the blessings of a group of relatives and friends, and the sincerity of "it's all in the wine."
But Li Ye felt that if he didn't do something on such a day and didn't liven up the atmosphere, it would be a pity.
So Li Ye moved a table, blocked the entrance of the main room tightly, and forced the newlyweds to be intimate in public.
This was good. A group of senior brothers and sisters' classmates behind immediately followed suit, and there was a guy with a camera who chose a shooting position and prepared to snap.
Didn't this become lively?
Senior Sister Yu was immediately annoyed: "I tell you, little junior brother, if you dare to stop me for another minute, I'll let you know how powerful your senior sister is later!"
Wang Zhiyuan followed his wife's lead: "Yes, let you know how powerful we are!"
Li Ye shrank his neck, looking "so scared."
"Senior sister, you haven't even entered the door yet! And you've already revealed your nature as a female tyrant? This is not good, eh.
Senior sister, think about it, how did those famous women in history become the masters of the house? Gentleness is a woman's strongest weapon. Today, Senior Brother Wang is helping you as an accomplice, but he is actually afraid in his heart..."
"Hahahahaha~"
"I'm laughing to death. Who is this kid? Looking at his decent face, why is he so glib and full of ruffian spirit?"
"Don't you know? This is the new disciple accepted by Mr. Zhang, very familiar with Yu Xiufen and Wang Zhiyuan.
Don't look at his young age, he is a little ghost. Look at the wedding dress on Xiufen, and the two cars that picked up the bride today, they were all prepared by this little junior brother..."
"You don't say, the clothes Yu Xiufen is wearing today are really good. At a glance, they fit the traditional 'gentle and implicit' temperament of our Middle Kingdom women..."
"You're right. If Xiufen could always be as gentle as she was just now, I would really think she changed her nature!"
The lively crowd made Yu Xiufen, who was both angry and laughing, lose her temper.
This morning, when she put on the bright red wedding dress and wore a set of headwear sent by Li Ye, she actually discovered for the first time in the mirror that she also had "gentle beauty."
And just now, when picking up the bride, Wang Zhiyuan was actually stunned at Yu Xiufen several times.
That stunned look seemed to remind Yu Xiufen of the way she first saw Wang Zhiyuan a few years ago.
So, Yu Xiufen recognized the "power of gentleness," but she had been quick-tempered for twenty years and couldn't turn the corner for a while.
Seeing that his wife had no temper, Wang Zhiyuan hurriedly said: "Li Ye, you are actually only knowing one thing and not the other.
Actually, your Senior Sister Yu is only rough on the surface, but she is very gentle to me in private, so what you said just now is wrong.
Besides, asking us to be intimate in public is even more wrong. This is an erroneous behavior that violates social customs..."
Li Ye was quite surprised, because this senior brother Wang Zhiyuan was usually dull and a bit pedantic. Although his brain was good, his mouth was always half a beat slow. If something happened, he had no reaction, and basically Yu Xiufen would stand up for him.
And today, Wang Zhiyuan took the initiative to stand up for Yu Xiufen, which was a bit of a man's responsibility.
It's just that Wang Zhiyuan was always wooden and didn't have Yu Xiufen's deterrent power at all. After these words were said, before Li Ye could laugh and play tricks, the other classmates next to him were unhappy first.
"What social customs? Everything you two do is legal. What bad customs? Today you must perform one like 'Lushan Love' for everyone..."
"No, no, no, we are tired of watching 'Lushan Love,' we want to see the kind in the dubbed films..."
A group of young people's teasing finally made Wang Zhiyuan blush. With his character, even if a knife was placed on his neck, it would be impossible to kiss Yu Xiufen in public.
Li Ye felt the heat was enough. People in '84 couldn't stand teasing. If they really took it seriously, it wouldn't be good.
"Eh, eh, eh, what are you thinking? Why is your thinking so evil!"
Li Ye stretched out his arms and circled a group of teasing young people, then laughed and scolded: "Why do you think of 'Lushan Love' and dubbed films as soon as I say intimate?
Our ancestors said it well, men and women should not touch each other. This holding hands and making contact, isn't it 'intimate'? What are you thinking? Still watching 'Lushan Love' dubbed films, did you buy a ticket?"
"Hahahaha~"
Everyone laughed again, feeling that today's wedding was very interesting.
And Yu Xiufen also generously held Wang Zhiyuan's hand, drawing cheers and applause from the crowd.
A cheerful girl is very likable.
The classmate with the camera clicked and took several photos, making Yu Xiufen even more proud.
"Move away, move away quickly."
Yu Xiufen laughed and scolded, asking Li Ye to move the table quickly.
Li Ye moved the table while smiling and said: "Senior brother and senior sister, don't blame me. Your new-style wedding today is everything simplified,
even the kowtowing to heaven and earth and the parents is gone. If I don't toss it again, it's really boring."
Yu Xiufen was stunned for a moment and exchanged glances with Li Ye.
It had to be said that Yu Xiufen's EQ was not low, and she immediately heard that Li Ye had something to say.
"What's wrong, little junior brother? Do you think it's not good for this wedding to be simple?"
"I can't say it's not good," Li Ye shook his head and said: "But in our hometown, after getting married, you are an adult. Parents worked hard to raise us. At this time, the newlyweds must kowtow to their parents."
Yu Xiufen was stunned again and suddenly looked back at the two old people.
The two old people had joy on their faces, but they also had obvious restraint and anxiety. Seeing Yu Xiufen look over, they hurriedly smiled sheepishly.
That was Wang Zhiyuan's parents, who came from far away to attend their son's wedding.
But they had never been far from home. When they arrived in the capital and saw a group of section chiefs, deputy division chiefs, and other cadres, they were very embarrassed and cramped. Throughout the wedding, they were like marginalized people, out of place.
Yu Xiufen immediately said to Wang Zhiyuan: "You go call Dad and Mom, and let's kowtow three times to the two elders."
Wang Zhiyuan was stunned for two seconds and immediately turned to find his parents.
Yu Xiufen caught the opportunity and asked Li Ye in a low voice: "You realized it was inappropriate just now?"
Li Ye nodded and said: "New society, new customs, not being extravagant and not wasting is good, but parents have worked hard all their lives, and this is the time when their sense of achievement is highest. Why deprive them of their rights?"
Yu Xiufen nodded slowly and said: "You are right. Some traditions still need to be passed down. It was my lack of consideration."
Li Ye and several classmates were busy for a minute, moving chairs and cushions.
But the two old people were a bit anxious and didn't want to come over to receive the kowtowing of the two newlyweds.
"No need, no need, it's all a new society now, how can we still talk about these old habits..."
"That's right, Xiao Fen is a township head! How can she kowtow to us, no, no..."
"Xiao Yuan, hurry up and entertain your colleagues and leaders! How can your mother and I have so many problems? Don't let people laugh at you."
Yu Xiufen had strong ability and high EQ. She had been promoted twice in less than three years of work and was about to be promoted to deputy division level. Logically, she was indeed at the level of a township head, so the two old people were very restrained.
Wang Zhiyuan's tears fell.
His character was dull, and he was not good at expressing his thoughts. Now that new-style weddings were popular in Yu Xiufen's unit, he didn't think about "kowtowing."
But now that his parents were afraid of causing him trouble and insisted on not accepting it, he was suddenly ashamed of himself.
These were his own father and mother who raised him with shit and urine! How could they suddenly become so estranged?
Li Ye was tall and saw far. Seeing the situation on Wang Zhiyuan's side, he hurriedly whispered to Yu Xiufen.
Yu Xiufen immediately picked up the skirt of her wedding dress and ran over quickly.
"Dad, Mom, you must accept this kowtow today, otherwise what have we become?"
Wang Zhiyuan's parents were even more cramped, their faces flushed with stammering.
Finally, it was Teacher Professor Zhang who came over to resolve the situation.
"Old people, even if they become cadres, they are still your children. You should go up quickly! Let the two of them finish kowtowing, and then we can drink two cups properly."
"Eh, eh, then..."
The two old people also shed tears, the kind that couldn't stop no matter how they wiped them.
"First kowtow to heaven and earth... Second kowtow to the parents..."
Li Ye's cool voice didn't seem to match the group of Zhongshan suits around him.
But the enthusiastic applause that followed clearly indicated that no matter in any era, everyone had a high degree of recognition for the family affection and filial piety of the Middle Kingdom.
