Chapter 526
Guo Suhua nodded. This was the truth. When Su Xinghui was a child, Su Wenjun and Guo Suhua were both busy with work and had no time to take care of him. He started kindergarten quite early. Later, the kindergarten wanted to charge sponsorship fees, which they couldn't afford, so they let Su Xinghui start school early. He was one or two years younger than his classmates.
However, Guo Suhua still said, "No matter what, you still have to hurry up."
Su Xinghui nodded, "Alright, I know, Mom!"
Nothing happened overnight. Early the next morning, after Su Xinghui got up to exercise and finished breakfast, he went to Chengguan Middle School. At this time, the ten brothers had all arrived, and there were more than ten people. Several other classmates who had a good relationship with Wu Yuansheng also came. Anyway, in Shangjun, ten brothers is just an approximate number, and it doesn't matter if there are one or two more. Some people have to stay here to help greet guests.
Xu Xiaoguang drove a car, and he asked his father to send two more cars. Zhang Cheng borrowed a car from their Finance Bureau, and Wu Jun also borrowed a jeep from their Public Security Bureau. This formed a motorcade of five cars. Although the grade of the cars was not very high and it was a bit crowded to pick up the bride, in this era, this was already considered quite good.
People and cars were all ready, so Su Xinghui shouted loudly, "Let's go!"
Although Su Xinghui was young, he now had the highest rank among his classmates, and he was also the most mature and steady, so Wu Yuansheng entrusted him to be the general commander today.
Following Su Xinghui's "Let's go," a classmate lit a string of firecrackers. Amidst the sound of firecrackers, the motorcade started slowly and drove towards Luo Xiaomei's house.
Shangjun County is not big. Although the motorcade didn't drive fast, it only took ten minutes to drive to Luo Xiaomei's house. The Luo family was also full of joy. Luo Xiaomei's relatives, friends, and female classmates all came, crowding Luo's living room.
Of course, the bride Luo Xiaomei was still in her room, and her ten sisters were also in her room accompanying her. Her door was also closed tightly.
Luo Xiaomei's brother and brothers-in-law welcomed the groom and the ten brothers into the house and distributed wedding cigarettes and candies to the drivers. The living room was already very crowded, and now that more than a dozen young men came in, it was even more crowded. However, today was a happy event, so no one complained, and everyone was full of joy.
Luo Xiaomei's nephews, nieces, and nephews-in-law served brown sugar tea to the groom Wu Yuansheng. Wu Yuansheng distributed the prepared red envelopes to them. They received the red envelopes and left happily. The money in these red envelopes was not much, only a few yuan, but for children, it was enough to satisfy them.
Next, it was time for the ten brothers to show their skills and help the groom open the bride's door, while the ten sisters had to help the bride set up various obstacles for the ten brothers.
Of course, this was just to make the atmosphere lively. No one would be serious. Everyone would have a sense of proportion. If the groom and the ten brothers were really made anxious, it would become a joke.
In the past in Shangjun, such jokes had happened. When getting married, the bride's ten sisters were too demanding and greedy, asking the groom for many red envelopes but refusing to open the door. Seeing that the time to pick up the bride was coming, the groom got angry and said he wouldn't get married and ran home. As a result, the bride cried and shouted, opened the door herself, and ran to the groom's house. This matter was passed around as a joke for a while.
Of course, this phenomenon would not happen today. After such jokes happened in the past, the bride's side now pays more attention to such things. They have warned the ten sisters in advance not to make things too difficult for the groom. Today's groom and bride are classmates, and these ten sisters are also their common classmates, so of course, they won't make things too difficult for Wu Yuansheng.
Su Xinghui didn't know how many classmates' weddings he had attended in his past life, and he was familiar with such things. He directed the ten brothers to crack the problems set by the ten sisters one by one. Red envelopes were inserted through the door crack one by one, and the time was mastered very well.
Around 9:30, the ten sisters finally opened the door. They surrounded the bride Luo Xiaomei and came out. Luo Xiaomei was shy, and she was dressed up beautifully today. Of course, every bride is the most beautiful on her wedding day.
Among the ten sisters standing behind Luo Xiaomei, Xue Qin was also standing there. Her face had a smile, but as soon as she came out, she saw Su Xinghui. Her smile immediately stiffened, and she moved her eyes away unnaturally.
Su Xinghui was also a bit unnatural, but he was the general commander today, and he still had to fulfill his duties. He said loudly, "Please bride, say goodbye to your parents!"
Wu Yuansheng helped Luo Xiaomei and walked to Luo's father and mother who were sitting in the middle of the living room. They knelt down in front of them. As soon as she knelt down, Luo Xiaomei's tears flowed out involuntarily. She cried and said, "Dad, Mom, I'm leaving, take care of your health in the future!"
Luo's mother's tears also flowed out. She couldn't speak for a while. Luo's father said, "Xiaomei, today is your big happy day, don't cry, live a good life after getting married!"
Luo Xiaomei nodded while crying. Luo's father said to Wu Yuansheng, "Yuansheng, we are handing Xiaomei over to you. You must treat her well in the future."
Wu Yuansheng nodded, "Dad, I will definitely treat Xiaomei well."
At this time, someone handed two cups of brown sugar water to the groom and bride. They offered them to Luo's father and mother. Luo's father and mother each took out a large red envelope and put it on their tea tray.
Next, the groom and bride offered brown sugar water to the female elders, and they each took out red envelopes and put them on their tea tray.
This money is called tea money, which is the blessing of the elders to the younger generation.
Subsequently, the groom and the ten brothers had a meal at Luo's house, which was considered a farewell meal from the bride's house. Because this meal was not at mealtime, it was just a gesture. After eating a few mouthfuls and drinking a few glasses of wine with the elders, Wu Yuansheng had to leave.
Su Xinghui had been mastering the time. Seeing that it was almost 10:18, he asked everyone to get ready. As soon as it was 10:18, he said loudly, "Let's go!"
The sound of firecrackers rang out. Wu Yuansheng and Luo Xiaomei got into the wedding car, and the motorcade set off, driving back to the new house at Chengguan Middle School. In the new house, Wu Yuansheng's parents, family, relatives, and friends were all waiting here. His sister and sister-in-law had already helped him set up the wedding bed in the new house.
Luo Xiaomei bowed to her father-in-law, mother-in-law, and elders one by one, served tea, received tea money, changed into a new set of clothes in the new house, and set off for the People's Restaurant. The wedding banquet was held at noon and was about to start.
At 12:00 noon, the wedding banquet started on time. After the wedding banquet started, Wu Yuansheng and Luo Xiaomei toasted table by table. When they toasted to Su Xinghui's table, Wu Yuansheng and Luo Xiaomei said to Su Xinghui together, "Xinghui, you have worked hard today, drink more!"
Su Xinghui did work hard today. He was the general commander and spent a lot of words. He held his wine glass and said, "Come, Wu Yuansheng, Luo Xiaomei, I wish you a long life together and an early son!"
The classmates all stood up, booing and wishing them an early son. For a time, the atmosphere of the wedding banquet reached a climax.
Watching Wu Yuansheng and Luo Xiaomei's wedding, Zhang Cheng said enviously, "This is really lively!"
Xu Xiaoguang said, "Envious? If you are envious, hurry up and find a girlfriend yourself!"
Zhang Cheng said, "What are you talking about? It sounds like you have a girlfriend!"
Hearing them bickering, everyone present laughed. In fact, there were not many people present who had girlfriends to talk about marriage. They were all young people in their early twenties, and it wasn't that fast. Isn't late marriage and late childbearing advocated now?
However, seeing Wu Yuansheng and Luo Xiaomei's wedding, many people were obviously moved.
