Solstice Secrets

"...after the music starts, pay attention to my gestures," the young planner held a few sheets of frayed printing paper with curled edges in his hand, and emphasized the order of the wedding to the two parties again, "the flower table is in this position , the two of you walked over from the left and right sides. The position of the best man is here..."

Ling Dongzhi couldn't help but yawned.

Zhuang Zhou gave him a funny look, and silently mouthed: "Be patient."

The young planner is a child of an old friend of Cheng Anni, and it is said that he is a well-known program planner in the local area.Ling Dongzhi still can't tell what his level is, but he just feels that this person is very... cumbersome.The words are also cumbersome, and the arrangements are also very cumbersome.Just such an entrance ceremony, I have been talking to the two of them for almost an hour.According to Ling Dongzhi's thinking, he only needs to tell them where they should stand and when to start walking in the middle.

If I had known that getting married would be so troublesome, I wouldn't have let go from the beginning, Ling Dongzhi thought resentfully.

Zhuang Zhou saw what he was thinking, stretched out his hand and stroked his back twice, and whispered into his ear, "Hold on a little longer. Be good."

Ling Dongzhi showed a headache expression.

Zhuang Zhou pursed his lips and smiled.

Ling Dongzhi persisted for a while, couldn't help but look aside, and secretly started a desertion.

Beautiful arches have been erected on the wide lawn. Before dawn tomorrow morning, the scheduled flowers will be delivered to this ancient castle in the English countryside.The staff will tie the freshest lilies and roses on the arches, dining tables and wine glasses before dawn.Ling Dongzhi imagined such a scene, and thought it seemed...not bad.Oh, and with all the balloons, wedding cakes, and champagne towers, it's predictably going to be a tiring day tomorrow.

The afternoons are always very peaceful.Mr. Zhuang took a stroll for a while before taking a nap; Zhuang Chengyan took Ling's father and Ling's mother to a nearby town for sightseeing; Ling Lidong's family of three and the Murong brothers were riding horses in the backyard; Cheng Anni, the hostess of the castle, was checking tomorrow The big cats and kittens brought together from China are huddled in the corner of the garden basking in the sun; Brown Sugar is sitting next to the flower table, staring with interest... the spouting planner.

Ling Dongzhi couldn't help laughing.This guy usually has no patience at all, but now he is rare and honest.She pretended to be quite similar, as if she really understood it—do you understand foreign languages? !Uncle Qi was born and bred in Binhai, he had never been abroad, and he might not be able to watch English channels on TV.

Probably aware of Ling Dongzhi's gaze, Brown Tang glanced at him, wagged his tail, stood up, walked over and sat down opposite him.

Ling Dongzhi looked at it, "Huh?"

Brown Tang licked the corner of his mouth, "This man is gesticulating, what is he doing?"

Midwinter Solstice, "..."

"I thought he sang, but it doesn't sound like it." Brown Sugar tilted his neck to look at him, "His voice is not bad."

"He's talking. He's not singing." Ling Dongzhi sighed, and said to himself that he really can't be serious with it, if you are serious, you will lose.

Brown Sugar became curious, "What is he talking about?"

Ling Dongzhi quietly translated for him, "The newcomer stands in this position..."

Black Sugar interrupted him, "What is a newcomer?"

"It's me and your daddy." Ling Dongzhi explained: "Because we're getting married, when we get married we call them newcomers, which probably means welcoming a new life." He can't say it well, anyway, everyone says so.

Brown Sugar glanced at the direction indicated by the planner, his small eyes thoughtful, "Oh, where are you two standing. What about the others?"

"Your grandparents, grandpa, and Zhuang Lin's children are sitting at the front of this row, and those sitting behind are all guests from your father's family." Ling Dongzhi pointed to the other side of the flower table, "My parents And my brother and sister-in-law are sitting at the front of that row, and behind them are the guests invited by our family."

Brown Tang waited for a while, seeing that he didn't continue, she was a little anxious, "Then... what about me?"

"You," Ling Dongzhi blinked, "Your status is more important, so you are in charge of sitting next to the flower table. Everyone is under your watch."

"Sit down..." Brown Tang pondered for a while, feeling dissatisfied with the arrangement, "What about uncle?"

"He and Uncle are your dad's best man, the two of them have to follow behind your dad." After Ling Dongzhi said this, he secretly said something bad.

Sure enough, Brown Tang's ears pricked up all of a sudden, "Following my daddy?"

The planner answered the phone, made an apologetic gesture to the two of them, and ran aside to answer the phone.Ling Dongzhi Mao lowered his waist and tried to reason with Brown Tang, "This best man is just following the newcomer, doing chores for the newcomer, and so on. He's just running errands, and he has no temperament at all."

Brown Sugar interrupted him, "Can the best man always follow behind my daddy?"

Ling Dongzhi bit the bullet and nodded.

Fan Er, the leader of the Brown Sugar faction, nodded, "That's it. I'll be my daddy's best man. I don't want to sit at all. Running errands for my daddy is just right for me."

Ling Dongzhi looked at him with a headache, "Look, the two uncles are about the same height as your dad, and it's very convenient for your dad to take things from him. You..."

"But I'm more handsome than my uncle!" Brown Tang firmly believed in this point, and I don't know who instilled this view in it, "It's more suitable for me to stand beside my daddy than him!"

Ling Dongzhi complained in his heart: Since you are so handsome, I might as well give you the position of another groom!

Zhuang Zhou watched the dog son yelling, and then saw the change of expression on Ling Dongzhi's face, and couldn't help asking him, "What's wrong?"

Ling Dongzhi looked at him with a blank face, "Your son insists on being your best man, he said he is more handsome than your uncle!"

Zhuang Zhou smiled, reached out and rubbed the dog's son's head, "Do you know what a best man is?"

Brown Tang groaned and defended himself, "I know! I want to stand next to you and help you get things. It's all trivial, I know it all!"

Ling Dongzhi rolled his eyes.

Zhuang Zhou thought for a while, "Why don't it hold our ring box in its mouth?"

Ling Dongzhi looked at him with disgust, "When the time comes, take out the ring box from its dog's mouth, and its saliva is all over it. It's sticky and wet..."

Zhuang Zhou also felt that this proposal was not perfect. He tilted his head and thought about it, "How about getting a small bag to hang around its neck? When the time comes to call for an exchange of rings, our son will stroll up here dressed up." , What a drag."

Ling Dongzhi felt embarrassing, it was like a pet show.But looking at Brown Tang's wistful and eager expression, he felt that he really couldn't bear to refuse it.Even if you don't let it take the ring, you have to arrange some other tasks for it, but for a while, you can't think of any suitable tasks.

But brown sugar was excited by its daddy's proposal, and asked him, flicking its big tail, "How beautiful will I be? How should I dress up?"

Ling Dongzhi looked at it speechlessly, "Do you want to wear a flower for you?"

Zhuang Zhou said with a smile: "Uncle Qi has prepared a lot of clothes for Brown Tang. I thought it looked weird before, so I didn't wear it. There should be a dress inside, find it quickly and let someone modify it."

Ling Dongzhi imagined Brown Tang's appearance in a dress, and couldn't help laughing, "Put a bouquet of small flower balls on the dress pocket."

Forget it, kids are clingy and like to show off, so just let it go.Anyway, they are all relatives and friends, even if it has some rashness, no one really cares about it.

"Then hurry up and go find its clothes." Before the planner finished the phone call, the two ran away.Followed by a happy big dog.

Brown Sugar's little dress is also black, standing with his daddies is like a family of three's parent-child outfits, even the bouquet on his chest is exactly the same.Especially when it stood between the two men, its small expression was unexpectedly serious, its neck raised slightly, like a sports champion who was about to go on stage to receive an award.

"This stuff really steals the spotlight." Ling Dongzhi murmured to Zhuang Zhou quietly, thinking that it's lucky that it interrupted him, otherwise he would be so nervous.

Zhuang Zhou said with a smile: "It wants to prove that it is still very important."

Ling Dongzhi gritted his teeth, "Yes, it wants to prove that its stepmother still loves it as always after its stepmother entered the house." So it made demands in a roundabout way, expecting its father to satisfy it without hesitation, and then get affirmed satisfaction from it feel.

Because of the addition of brown sugar, the mode of the two newcomers entering the arena, one left and one right, was temporarily changed by the planner.Brown Sugar will be with them and will stand between them throughout the wedding.

This arrangement made Brown Sugar extremely excited.

How important it is, it knows it!

When the music played, the first to walk on the red carpet was the costumed...brown sugar.It walks in the front with its head held high to meet the gazes of the guests and the good-natured laughter. There is a beautiful ribbon tied around its furry neck, and a small pocket hangs below it, dangling with its steps. Contains "the most important thing in the whole wedding."

This is what its daddy told it by touching its head.

Its two daddies walked behind it hand in hand, crossed the long red carpet together, and stopped under the arch covered with lilies.

Fengshen's handsome youths are wearing black dresses of the same style, and the picture of standing side by side is harmonious and beautiful.

Mama Ling leaned on Papa Ling's shoulder, her eyes wet for some reason.Father Ling embraced his wife's shoulders, and patted him lightly, with mixed feelings in his heart.

On the other side, Mr. Zhuang glanced at Cheng Anni's and Zhuang Chengyan's hands, sighed softly, and turned his gaze to the young man under the arch.The children and grandchildren are all grown up, so let's figure out their own lives. As an old man, it's better not to worry so much.

The officiant asked Zhuang Zhou, "Mr. Zhuang, would you like to marry Mr. Ling? Whether in good times or bad times, rich or poor, always love him as you love yourself, cherish him, and be faithful to him forever?"

Zhuang Zhou nodded, "I am willing."

"I am willing too." Brown Tang raised his neck and yelled, "Give me meat every day! Play with me, hug me, forever... Aww, what does forever mean..."

Ling Dongzhi twitched the corners of his mouth.

The officiant asked Ling Dongzhi again, "Mr. Ling, are you willing to marry Mr. Zhuang? Regardless of health or illness, happiness or worry, always cherish him and be faithful to him forever?"

Ling Dongzhi's heart felt a little hot, "I am willing."

Brown Sugar continued to add the oath, "Don't abuse me! Don't take away my snacks while Daddy's not at home! Don't give me a bath every three days! Don't hit me on the head with a spoon when I'm found stealing meat... I will willing."

The winter solstice is full of black lines.

Zhuang Zhou bent down to take the ring box from Brown Tang's neck, Brown Tang still told him, "You must never forget the importance of your son after marrying a stepmother, Daddy!"

Ling Dongzhi glanced at Brother Murong, who was grinning sullenly, and suddenly felt very lucky.Fortunately, everyone can't understand anything. If everyone understands... this day will really be impossible!

Zhuang Zhou took out the ring and put it on Ling Dongzhi's finger, looking at him with bright eyes.

Ling Dongzhi's heart suddenly surged with excitement, he blinked, and when he took out the ring from the box, his fingers trembled involuntarily.

Zhuang Zhou hugged him, and gently lowered his head against his forehead, "We will be a family from now on."

Ling Dongzhi raised his head and kissed him lightly on the lips, "Yes, a family."

Brown Sugar squeezed between the two begging for nothing, "There's still me, there's me!"

Zhuang Zhou, "..."

Midwinter Solstice, "..."

"And you." Zhuang Zhou bent down and hugged its neck and kissed it. This time he miraculously understood what it said, "We are a family."

Brown Tang rubbed against him triumphantly, and then pulled Ling Dongzhi with his paw.

Ling Dongzhi patted its head, smiled and sighed, "We are a family. I will give you meat, play with you, and hug you forever. Forever means: we will love you so much every day."
