all the way

The wedding ceremonies in the Central Plains and Kyoto are similar, and there may be some differences in the past, but after the strong cultural baptism that swept almost every corner of the country in the past few years, many personalized customs are regarded as feudal culture The dross was tragically abandoned, and all kinds of ceremonies presented a situation of national unification, and the same was true for wedding ceremonies.

Because Liujialing is too occluded, it still retains the meaning of kneeling down to heaven and earth in order to get gods to bless and protect the ancestors in the future, and the husband and wife kneel to each other in order to look forward to supporting each other in the years to come;

However, Kyoto is at the center of Chinese political culture. With the introduction of new etiquette, a few international-style bows have replaced the various red tapes in the past. The wedding has basically become a purely announcement of a man and woman getting married in a legal way. The couple's ceremony no longer contains many fantasies and expectations.

Although in the eyes of Liu Changqing and his wife, it is too hasty to just bend over casually to finish a life-long event, but Zeng Guangtong, who was involved, burst into tears when his son and daughter-in-law bowed to him. Being surrounded and sent into the bridal chamber, Zeng Guangtong still couldn't calm down.

Liu Changqing and Liu Chuan helped him into his own room. Zeng Guangtong finally couldn't help crying. He grabbed Liu Changqing's arm and said tremblingly, "From now on... I will have a family again, and I will have... home."

Liu Changqing and Liu Chuan, who had experienced countless hardships without frowning, were suddenly moved when they heard this sentence, but they didn't know how to comfort him.

Once in the prime of life, the beautiful wife and children were surrounded by me happily, and the romantic vows of the past were still whispered in my ears like yesterday, but it was just an unexpected dance of wind and clouds, which ruined all the good things.

It seems that the wife who was still whispering tenderly by her side yesterday had already found another lover when she turned around, and the son and daughter who were holding her in her hands and hurting her heart were separated overnight.

A home once envied by countless people around him has disappeared silently in the long river of history. For outsiders, it is calm and cannot afford even a little ripple. Liu Changqing and Liu Chuan watching all this happen, it was a living tragedy in the world.

"It's all over, and the days to come will get better and better. Huai Chen is a filial child, and Dong Yan is also a sensible one. Your blessings lie behind." Liu Changqing's words of comfort are not many, simple and straightforward.

After Liu Changqing met Yang Dongyan for the first time, Zeng Guangtong asked him how he felt, and then told him everything about Yang Dongyan.

Yang Dongyan is the department accountant of Zeng Huaichen's shopping mall. She is five years younger than Zeng Huaichen and is already 28 years old.She used to have a boyfriend, Sun Peicheng, who lived in the same compound. The two had been classmates from kindergarten to high school, and they were really childhood sweethearts.

Yang Dongyan is beautiful, and Sun Peicheng has been very kind to her since the beginning of love. The love between the two came naturally. Later, they took the college entrance examination at the same time. Sun Peicheng was admitted to a key university in Kyoto in the first year. Dongyan, who was also very good, failed the exam. After a year of review, she was admitted to a very ordinary accounting school. Although she was already very good in the eyes of outsiders, she was indeed not as good as Sun Peicheng.

However, the relationship between the two of them was not affected by this. Yang Dongyan's school was a two-year college, so although she was admitted a year late, she went to work one year earlier than Sun Peicheng. Sun Peicheng never expressed any dissatisfaction with her work. Yan had time to go to Sun Peicheng's school to play with him when he was not at work, and Sun Peicheng didn't show any abnormality towards her.

Until the eve of Sun Peicheng's graduate graduation, Yang Dongyan went to their house several times to look for him. His parents said that he was very busy, but his parents refused to say what he was busy with.

Living in a compound, when Yang Dongyan learned about Sun Peicheng's study abroad, he already had his plane ticket in his hand. It can be seen how much effort Sun Peicheng and his family have put in in order to hide it from her. Now that a child can study abroad, he can't wait to announce it. Yang Dongyan, even a fool, should understand what such a deliberate concealment means in the common people's homes in Kyoto.

Yang Dongyan met Sun Peicheng for the last time at the airport. While Sun Peicheng and his parents, family members, and relatives looked at each other nervously and awkwardly, she smiled and said to the man: "Isn't it just going to study abroad? What a big deal. Keep secrets." It's done so well, those who didn't know thought it was the US President's secret visit to Iran and Iran!

Sun Peicheng, I, Yang Dongyan, am not pursued by anyone, so you are so sure that I must be you?Are you so sure that I will definitely hang myself on this crooked neck tree of yours?You seem to be a bit overconfident!

Well, now I know everything, and I don’t even have the slightest thought of suicide. From now on, your family can safely and boldly show off that you have studied abroad, and I can finally pretend that I am very satisfied with you without feeling guilty I am happy to send you happy, it feels good not to pretend, bye. "

Talking about being brave and successful can't heal a hurt heart. Yang Dongyan hadn't dated for four years until she met Zeng Huaichen, who was five years older than her.

Zeng Huaichen, who has experienced family ruin and going to the countryside, is optimistic, open-minded, and tolerant. His pursuit of Yang Dongyan is not enthusiastic but firm and persistent, and finally won Yang Dongyan's trust.

And once Yang Dongyan understood how unworthy her persistence and paranoia were, and accepted Zeng Huaichen's feelings, she put aside all her knots and managed the relationship with a mature and open mind. After a few months of dating, she felt that Zeng Huaichen He was indeed a person worthy of entrusting his whole life, so he offered to get married.

Liu Changqing's evaluation of Yang Dongyan is: "Sexy, sensible, sometimes stubborn, but not into the horns, such a woman can support the family."

Liu Changqing has never thought that a woman who only agrees with men is gentle and virtuous.

Gentleness is the way of expression, assertiveness is thought and character, and a tough attitude can also be expressed in a gentle way. Only such a woman deserves respect.

Liu Changqing likes women who have their own opinions when dealing with things, and Yang Dongyan fits this requirement. At the same time, Yang Dongyan's cheerful personality also makes him happy for the Zeng family and his son.

When a family lives together, a good temperament is very important. If there is a person in the family who is bored all day long and makes people guess their minds, then I am afraid that they will not have a truly happy day.

When Zeng Guangtong was feeling sad about the past, Liu Xia and Mao'er were watching with great interest a group of young people asking Zeng Huaichen and Yang Dongyan to bite a peanut tied with a red thread. Every time they were about to bite, The peanuts will be pulled up suddenly, and the faces of the two will bump into each other. At this time, the cat will jump up happily: "Haha, I didn't bite, that peanut must be delicious, so I don't want to call them two." Eat it!"

Liu Rui sniffled at the cat: "Well, I want to eat it too."

Liu Hai went to bring them a plate of peanuts, and the cat said, "I want to eat that!"

Liu Hai said: "Oh, you can only eat it on the day you marry your wife. You have to wait 20 years, right?"

Mao'er and Liu Rui looked at each other in disappointment, 20 years is really too long, they want to eat that peanut even more.

Liu Xia glared at Liu Hai, then peeled peanuts for Mao Er and Liu Rui to eat, Liu Hai laughed and saw that the two little guys who took his words seriously were depressed there.

Mao'er's depression didn't persist for even a minute, and then he became excited again.

He was very curious about seeing the beautiful daughter-in-law, because Su Xiaohui was the only one he had ever seen when he grew up, but Su Xiaohui only stayed at home for one day after getting married, and then returned home, and did not live in the Liu family most of the time. Ling, this made Mao'er a little uncertain about the saying that marrying a beautiful daughter-in-law made him a family member, and he also couldn't figure out why a woman would live in someone else's house when she grew up.

Mao'er doesn't like to live in someone else's house at all, there is no place as good as Liujialing, and there is no place as good as his own kang.

Chang'e Sun has always been worried about going to restaurants after the wedding. There are stretches of alleys and courtyard houses near Zeng Guangtong's house, and the high-end restaurants in Kyoto are all concentrated in the bustling commercial area with high-rise buildings. She is very afraid of taking a car again. .

But early this morning, three beautifully decorated tricycles came outside Zeng’s house. The drivers were a few young men in undershirts. They belonged to the compound of Yang Dongyan’s natal family. Yang Dongyan reserved their car in advance to take the Liu family to the hotel.

Liu Changqing, Sun Chang'e, and Liu Xin took one car, Liu Hai, Liu Wei, Liu Rui, Liu Chuan, Liu Xia, and Mao'er took one car, Chen Zhenbei and Liu Ling drove other guests to the hotel, Liu Yu and Zeng Guang Go together in Liu Ling's car.

On the morning when Liu Xia and the others came, one was a little tired and a little motion sick, and the other was that it was still dark, so apart from seeing the spacious streets of Kyoto, they had no other impressions.

But today, Liu Xia saw a much more prosperous Kyoto city than Jiangcheng and Yuancheng. This prosperity is not only more tall buildings and crowds than Jiangcheng and Yuancheng, but also many details that he can't tell. With ubiquitous fashion and noise, it shows its extraordinary status in China.

Mao'er has been holding Liu Xia's hand tightly all the time. He is really a very small country bumpkin at this time, his eyesight is not enough at all, endless streets and traffic, endless buildings and crowds, passing by in a hurry The pleasant and leisurely ones both excited him and terrified him at the same time.

Such a place, if he and his uncle were separated and lost, they might never be found again.

Liu Xia was also shocked by the boundless prosperity of Kyoto, and he also felt momentarily at a loss in the vast sea, but he felt the tension conveyed by the cat grabbing his little hand, so he immediately sorted out his emotions, squeezed the cat's little hand The ear said: "Kyoto is beautiful, kid? No one from your school has ever been here, only you and our family have come. When you go back, tell them what Kyoto is like, and envy them."

The cat nodded vigorously: "Well, uncle, there are many people here, you can hold me tight, if we let go, we should lose it."

Liu Xia said: "It's okay baby, you can just watch whatever you want, my uncle has been watching you all the time, so I won't lose it to you."

Liu Chuan found it very amusing to see the cat’s nervousness, and deliberately teased him: “I heard that if a child is lost here and can’t find his family for a few days, the Public Security Bureau will send him to other families without children. He’s my boy, cat, don’t you always want to come to Kyoto to go to university? Simply, your uncle and I will throw you out of the car and let a person from Kyoto pick you up, and you will become my boy from now on , and became a native of Kyoto."

Mao'er immediately hugged Liu Xia's neck: "No, who cares about being a native of Kyoto, I'm my little uncle!"

The young man who was pedaling in front laughed: "Silly boy, how many people have tried so hard to become a man in Kyoto, but you still don't care about it? Haven't you heard that sentence? A dog born in Kyoto Gold is more expensive than outsiders, and if you become a native of Kyoto, there are many benefits."

Liu Xia knew that those words were from Mr. Lao She's "Four Generations Under One Roof". Although the coachman's understanding was a bit crooked, but Liu Xia looked at the place full of vitality in front of him, and he understood the meaning of that sentence. Kyoto, I really like and envy.

In the past, he only had a wild imagination about the capital, and if the cat came here to go to college, there was a real hope and a joke, but at this moment, he was eager to let the little guy in his arms go to college, and then he could live forever. live here.

Finally arrived at the hotel, Liu Xia and the others were surprised by the simple and solemn appearance of the hotel, and also a little uneasy.

Mao'er tightened Liu Xia's hand, and Liu Xin stretched out her small arms to be hugged by Liu Chuan. Liu Wei and Liu Rui were also a little timid and didn't know whether to go in or how to go. Liu Yu, who knew a bit about the world, also looked at Liu Hai and Liu Ling very cautiously.

Liu Ling supported Chang'e Sun and greeted Liu Yu; Liu Hai took Liu Rui's hand and walked beside Liu Changqing.

Chen Zhenbei took Liu Xin with a smile: "Let's go, I've been busy for a long time, it's time for us to eat!"

Liu Chuan pulled Liu Wei, and Liu Xia followed Mao'er.

Walking into the resplendent and resplendent hall, you can see the dining tables covered with snow-white tablecloths and the fashionable men and women in bright clothes passing through it.

Zeng Guangtong was already waiting for them, and took them directly to a separate dining room. From the beginning, he considered that the children might feel uncomfortable eating with unfamiliar people, so he let the Liu family sit alone.

As soon as Mao'er entered the room, he was startled by the very large two-story dining table. He sat at the dining table for a while, and then gently said to Liu Xia: "Uncle, there are still tables for dining. It has several floors like a building." Mile?"

Liu Xia only saw such a dining table once in the Hongbin Building, but it was enough to comfort the cat: "There are only two floors, and the table is the biggest one. The people on our side can't reach Grandpa and their food, look "He pushed it lightly with his hand, and the upper layer of small round noodles turned: "The upper layer will turn, so that you don't have to stand up to reach the dishes over there."

Liu Rui and Liu Xin were very surprised at the turning table, and watched without moving.

Liu Xia picked up the cat and said, "Come on, turn it around a little bit, and it will hit the cat. If there is soup on it, the soup will spill out if you turn it fast."

The cat spun around several times happily, and Liu Rui and Liu Xin also spun around happily.

The cold dishes came out soon, and the little guys didn't move when they looked at the exquisite cold dishes that were as exquisite as works of art.

They don't know if these are meant to be eaten, and.They don't know what the dishes in front of them are for.

Liu Ling, Liu Hai, Liu Xia, and Zeng Guangtong simply put away unnecessary things and put them aside, leaving only a small saucer, a teacup, and a pair of chopsticks in front of the children.

Chen Zhenbei and Liu Ling poured wine and drinks for everyone, and everyone toasted to congratulate Zeng Guangtong.

Liu Xia put a piece of red duck in sauce on the small plate in front of the cat, "These dishes are here for us to eat, we can eat whatever we want."

The little guy's eyes were shining, and he was a little embarrassed. He didn't dare to pick up the dishes on the table. He felt that such a beautiful thing should not be messed up.

The waiter opened the door and came in to serve the food. Through the crack of the door, Liu Xia saw the gorgeous and noisy hall outside.

There is only one night's journey between here and Liujialing, but Liu Xia feels that it is farther away than the journey from ancient times to modern civilization.

At this moment, the people who are wearing beautiful clothes and sitting at exquisite dining tables eating delicacies from mountains and seas don’t know that there is another world only more than 1000 miles away from them. Children are happy for an eraser and a pencil, but worry about it. Their thoughts become as ragged as their clothes because of their poor knowledge and experience.

The saddest thing is that they never know their own sorrow.

Liu Xia looked at the cat beside him, the little guy was just picking up a piece of fried chicken and putting it on Liu Xia's plate, when he saw Liu Xia was looking at him and smiling, he grinned at Liu Xia with his mouth missing two front teeth: "Hehe , this is delicious and fragrant, uncle, you should eat more."

Liu Xia tugged at his little ears: "Well, good cats should eat more if they are delicious." He also clipped a piece for the cats.

The cat looked very satisfied, and Liu Xia thought: One day, I will let you live in such a place, and live this kind of life every day, instead of letting this kind of life become a short-lived good memory in your life.
