four o'clock

On Qixi Festival, the two planned to have a banquet.

There are two simple tables in the yard, and the neighbors are invited.

Wang Xiaoniu knew that they were planning to make it public. This was equivalent to a wedding banquet for the two of them. She took her boyfriend to prepare a bunch of wedding candy, wedding couplets and so on in accordance with local wedding customs a few days in advance. Pasted in the yard, the window grilles are all festive red.

Li Song and Wen Yuji originally planned to keep everything simple, but they were infected by Wang Xiaoniu's appearance, and felt that a sense of ritual was good.

The apricots in the yard are ripe, and the yellow apricots are hanging all over the trees. The big grapes on the vines are hanging in bunches, and the yard is full of fruity fragrance.

Wen Yu rested her chin, sat in the rocking chair and looked at the stars in the sky in a daze, and whispered: "Brother, tell me, Grandma Tianwang and the others won't be able to accept it?"

Ari went to the wall to steal the crabapple from Grandma Wang's house, accidentally fell to the ground, ran back on tiptoe, and jumped onto the soft cushion on one side without making a sound.

Li Song put the washed grapes and apricots by his hand, rubbed his hair, and said softly, "No."

Wen Yuji lowered his eyes and peeled the grapes.

The purple juice dyed the slender white fingertips, Li Song's eyes moved with his movements, and after a while, he caught Wen Yu's movement of sending grapes to his mouth, and pulled his wrist to squeeze the crystal clear grapes into his mouth. He sent the grapes into his mouth, and sucked his beautiful fingertips by the way.

Wen Yuji's hands were raised by him without calluses, and he became fatter, healthier and more beautiful. He looked at Li Song with clear black and white eyes, and said coquettishly, "You feed me."

Li Song's heart softened, he kissed Wen Yuji on the cheek, broke off apricots to feed him, and said, "I sent a message to Moments."

Wen Yuji was enjoying the night breeze, rocking the rocking chair, chewing something in his mouth, and asked vaguely, "What?"

Li Song ate a piece of apricot, and the sweet and sour aroma of the fruit filled his mouth. He said, "Our marriage certificate."

Wen Yu sent: "Oh."

Wen Yuji's eyes widened: "Huh?"

He straightened up on the seat, a little confused: "Well...they all have your WeChat account."

Li Song tilted his head and said innocently: "Yes."

He purposely posted in Moments in advance, which is equivalent to an open to everyone.

He didn't plan to hold a wedding in Shanghai or Beijing, because he always felt that his wedding should be held in a small town, and the witnesses should also be these elders who have always taken care of them, and there is no meaning in other places.

But he couldn't bear to show his marriage certificate at the banquet. Wen Yuji would see the strange eyes of the elders who watched him grow up, so he sent it ahead of time. When tomorrow, he will sincerely bless him, and he can't stand it. Don't come over like this, he respects those grandparents, uncles and aunts, but he is not willing to suffer any grievances for Yu'er.

Wen Yuji opened Moments anxiously, and saw that the message Li Song sent was actually posted early in the morning.

On the top are three photos, a marriage certificate, a portrait photo taken when the two were sixteen or seventeen years old, and the last one is a wedding photo taken in Australia.

At the age of sixteen or seventeen, they are now 26 or seven years old.

Wen Yuji's eyes suddenly became hot as he ran across the two photos with his fingertips, and he whispered, "We're married."

Li Song's accompanying text is this sentence: We are married.

The night wind blows through the courtyard, bringing the freshness of early autumn, the occasional chirping of autumn cicadas, the slight rustling sound of leaves rubbing against each other, the bright moon on the eaves, Li Song curled his lips, and said warmly: "Well, get married gone."

The next day, Wang Xiaoniu knocked on the door before four o'clock.

Wen Yuzhi felt very light all night. He was very nervous, afraid that someone would come over today, and even more afraid that no one would come.

The sky outside was pitch black, Li Song frowned, let the startled Wen Yuji go back to sleep, put on his clothes and went out to open the door.

Wen Yuji lay on the pillow, straining his ears to listen to them, but the door was closed and he couldn't hear clearly.

He was flustered in his heart, and he couldn't remember how long it had been since he was so nervous, so his heart was always on it.

Li Song came back quickly, holding something in his hand, with a strange expression on his face.

Wen Yuji rubbed his eyes, got up and looked at him: "What's wrong?"

Li Song put the bag on the stool, looked for clothes in the closet, and said, "Honey, get up first, Wang Xiaoniu will come in later."

Wen Yu sent: "?"

Wen Yuji was confused, but obedient. He got up and folded the quilt. He wanted to ask something when he heard voices in the yard.

He raised the curtain and looked out, it was so dark that he couldn't see anything clearly.

Seeing his nervous look, Li Song wanted to laugh, and he was also a little nervous, urging: "Baby, change quickly, the bed will be covered in a while."

Wen Yuji was confused, and turned to look at Li Song, who had already changed into his suit.

Li Song looks very good in a suit, with a slender waist and long legs, like a big star.

Wen Yuji didn't see him bring a suit back, it should be specially prepared for today, Li Song put on a shirt for him, he looked at the person who buttoned him, and his heart rose.

He is not afraid anymore, with Li Song, he is not afraid of anything, he is looking forward to today, which belongs to his wedding with Li Song, so he must have a very happy time.

It's just that he didn't expect that there would be so many people in the room.

As soon as he opened the door, Wang Xiaoniu staggered in, apparently just listening to the corner of the wall.

Her superficial class monitor in junior high school, and her current boyfriend helped her stabilize with an embarrassing expression on his face.

After the two of them got out of the way, Grandma Wang, Aunt Fat, Aunt Ge, and even Grandma Ma from the front all came, together with a bunch of women from the neighbors, a group of people crowded together in the living room.

Wen Yuzhi opened his mouth, but turned to look at Li Song without saying a word.

Li Song didn't expect so many people to come, the lights were on in the yard, and the yard was very lively in the early morning.

Grandma Wang looked at Wen Yuzhi reproachfully: "You didn't say it earlier. I found out that you are going to get married after looking at Xiao Li's circle of friends yesterday. This little girl is really strict with her mouth, and she hasn't leaked anything."

The fat aunt was beaming, and stuffed a red envelope into Wen Yushou's hand, and said, "Marriage is not a matter of a meal, children only think shallowly, and we started chatting about firecrackers and fireworks and so on yesterday." It’s all bought, you two should hurry up and get ready.”

Wen Yu sent: "..."

Holding the red envelope in his hand, he responded with a hoarse voice.

Grandma Wang waved her hand: "Wang Xiaoniu, quickly dress up your two brothers, where is the child you brought? Hurry up and make up the house, and your fat aunt and I have to spread out the ready-made quilt quickly."

Wang Xiaoniu said "ah", picked up the bag Li Song brought into the house, and said, "They are blowing up balloons at our house, and the flowers and ornaments will be placed in a while..."

Wen Yuji and Li Song stood in the living room, watching a few grandmas and aunts spread out the bright red quilts on the kang, the pillows were arranged in pairs, and Wang Xiaoniu put a boutonniere on her chest. A friend stood by and held a large bouquet of flowers.

Wen Yuji asked the little girl in front of her in a low voice: "What's going on?"

Wang Xiaoniu laid out the flowers for him, but before she could react, she asked, "Ah? What's going on?"

Wen Yuji glanced at the neighbor who was cleaning up the house, but said nothing.

Wang Xiaoniu suddenly realized: "Oh, they started preparing yesterday morning. The quilts are all made of cotton. They made them stitch by stitch. It must be very comfortable to lie on. I was in a hurry to buy things yesterday. Not all, Uncle Ge's son even drove to the next county."

Wen Yu sent: "..."

That's not what he asked.

He didn't understand why they had known about it for a long time and accepted it without any pressure.

Li Song felt that Xiao Yu'er's appearance of wanting to cry and hold back was so funny and sour, he squeezed Wen Yuji's face, and said with a smile: "Hurry up and wash your face, and you can't wait to see me." I haven't washed my face or brushed my teeth."

Wen Yu sent: "...um."

Some time ago, Wang Xiaoniu wanted to paste happy words on the mirror of his bathroom, but was stopped by Li Song. She rushed in before the two of them and took a picture of Double Happiness. She came out cheerfully, and said with a smile: " How beautiful it is."

The room was decorated with wedding decoration dolls, beautiful stickers and red balloons with happy words were hung on the bedroom wall, and it was all red in a short while.

Li Song didn't know what it was like to get married in other places, but he felt that it would definitely not be as good as it is now.

Those neighbors really regarded it as if their children and grandchildren were having a wedding, discussing the details noisily, talking about taboos and customs, and busy cleaning up.

The fat aunt and a few aunts went out first, and before leaving, they said: "There are so many people coming, your yard can't hold it, your Uncle Ge is setting up a shed at the door, let's set up a table outside, let's prepare it first." It's time for dinner."

Wen Yuji looked at her hesitantly, and the troubled fat aunt laughed.

She pulled his sleeves to the edge of the grape arbor, avoiding people, and asked with a smile: "Are you still embarrassed? It's all going to happen."

Wen Yuji shook his head and said, "No..."

The fat aunt sighed, looked at Wen Yuji softly, and said, "We knew about you and Xiao Li a long time ago, we saw it clearly when you left, Xiao Li's soul is gone , how can normal relatives and brothers have such... hell, why do I say this, it is not easy to be together for a lifetime, and it is even more difficult for you two. Together, the two of them live happily, that's the most important thing."

Li Song came out of the house, stood at the door and called Wen Yuji.

Wen Yuji turned his back to him and wiped his eyes.

The fat aunt raised her hand, as if she wanted to rub his hair like before, but Wen Yuji was already so tall that she couldn't touch his hair.

She patted Wen Yushou's arm and said with a smile, "Why are you crying? Go find him."

Wen Yuji turned his head, smiled at Li Song, and said, "Here we come."

Around seven o’clock, more people came. A group of young boys and girls hung balloons in the yard and the door, and the door was set up as a flower door. Ari was sleeping on the windowsill and no one paid attention to it. Wake up, being hugged and rubbed by several little girls.

At around nine o'clock, Wen Yushou received a call from Qian Qian. He and Zhou Zhou had already arrived at the entrance of the alley. They drove over overnight and said that they couldn't get into the alley because it was full of people.

When Wen Yuji and Li Song came out, a shed had already been set up at the door, with a shelter on top to block the sun, and five big round tables were set up below, where young and old were playing cards and chatting.

They didn't expect so many people to come. Wang Xiaoniu took her classmates to sit at a table, and when they saw them come out, a group of people greeted them.

Li Song gave Wang Xiaoniu a red envelope, and asked her to buy wedding candies and drinks when she came back. The car was outside, so she could drive casually.

Wang Xiaoniu felt that the red envelope given by Li Song might be for her to move to the supermarket, so she asked her friends to move to the supermarket happily.

This alley is very beautiful in autumn, because of urban planning, the government planted flowers on the side of the road, all kinds of autumn chrysanthemums stretched all the way, morning glories climbed up the wall, and someone planted a large field of sunflowers at the door, around nine o’clock Brilliant towards the sun.

Qian Qian stretched his neck and looked towards the entrance of the alley, saw Wen Yuji and Li Song, hurriedly pushed Zhou Zhou who was resting on his body: "Wake up, they are here to pick us up."

Zhou Zhou hooked his neck and said wearily: "Ancestor, I drove all night."

Qian Qian muttered: "I just don't know how to drive, and I don't have a plane anymore..."

Wen Yuji hadn't seen Qian Qian for a long time, so he ran over to say hello, seeing his expression and state, he felt that he should be doing well, at least much better than before.

He tilted his head to look at Zhou Zhou, and said to Li Song: "Let him go to Grandma Wang's house to sleep for a while, we have a lot of family members."

Li Song definitely wouldn't let him sleep at home, Naxi's quilt was well spread, and he hasn't rolled yet.

He mentioned the presents brought by the two of them, and said in a gentle voice, "Okay."

Grandma Wang's house was cooking, and the kang was too hot to treat others. Fortunately, the fat aunt's house had a bed. Zhou Zhou and Qian Qian didn't sleep all night, and fell asleep when they touched the bed.

The fat aunt closed the door carefully, and said with a smile: "These two guys are really good-looking, do you have a date?"

Li Song: "...No."

As soon as they came out of the fat aunt's house, they received a call from Li Yang.

He wanted to come to the wedding, but he didn't know where they lived, so he called them on the side of the school.

The two of them went out to pick it up, only to realize that along the way, there were almost everywhere along the way the Chinese characters "Hi" in red background and black ink, on telephone poles, courtyard walls, neighbors' doors, including the big crooked-necked poplar in Uncle Ge's house. They all posted hi, and extended all the way to the main road.

They are treating this marriage as a normal marriage, and they have not wronged them at all, and they are not sloppy at all. This is a blessed wedding, much better than he expected.

Li Song tightened Wen Yuji's hand, sighed softly, and said, "Honey, how do I feel that I am so lucky?"

Lucky to meet you, lucky to come to this city.

Wen Yuji smiled and said, "I'm lucky too."

Li Yang and Lu Yuanxi came here together. Lu Yuanxi came back from his annual leave for a blind date this time, just in time for their wedding.

Li Yang still hadn't reacted a bit, he elbowed his former deskmate, and said, "When I saw the news about Li Song, I was in self-study, and I almost choked to death when I drank water, what do you think I did at that time?" Didn't you see it?"

Lu Yuanxi looked at the two people approaching from a distance, and said sincerely: "That's because you are blind."

Li Yang: "..."

Li Yang: "Hehe."

As if you weren't blind.

Li Yang took out two red envelopes and handed them to Li Song, and said with a smile: "My physics teacher and I, the old man is feudal. He didn't say anything, but he wrapped red envelopes."

The physics teacher's daughter was admitted to the National People's Congress the year before last, and once encountered some trouble in Beijing, which was solved by Li Song. The little old man thought of him and liked these two students, but he still couldn't accept it. .

Lu Yuanxi also gave a red envelope, sighed, and said with some worry: "I seem to be the only single in the world."

Li Yang glared at him: "Me too."

A whistle sounded from behind, and Wang Xiaoniu poked her head out of the car and shouted, "There is a seat in the car, first come, first served."

Li Yang jumped into the car.

Three people: "..."

Flower arches were made at the entrance of the small courtyard, red ribbons were hung on the apricot trees, balloons were hung at the door of the house, and sparrows stood on the eaves and looked down curiously.

Across the door is the sound of neighbors cooking and talking, with joyful and hearty smiles.

In the beautiful wedding room, Li Song secretly kissed Wen Yuji with his arms around her.

At about eleven o'clock, Uncle Ge led his uncles to set off firecrackers and fireworks. The crackling sound was loud, and Zhou Zhou and Qian Qian were both arguing.

A group of children ran around the shed. Except for the one brought by Wang Xiaoniu to help, they were all neighbors and close friends, and they didn't feel restrained.

It's like a family dinner.

The little fat boy was in the third grade of junior high school, and he ran back wheezing and panting just after school, and asked anxiously, "Why didn't you wait for me?"

Wang Xiaoniu glared at him: "The table hasn't started yet, sit down quickly."

She made a lot of money today, and the red envelopes Li Song gave her and her classmates were enough for them to go on a trip.

Wen Yuji and Li Song came out from the yard. They were wearing exquisitely tailored suits. They were holding hands, with flowers on their chests. They were a couple of special couples, but they stood frankly in the sun and accepted it. bless.

A few young boys and girls coaxed and put ribbons and fireworks petals on the side, and they fell from the sky one after another, covering the two of them, like the rain in the blooming season. The two of them held hands for ten years, under the bright sunshine , Li Song closed his eyes and kissed Wen Yuji's forehead.

Grandma Wang watched from the sidelines and wiped her tears. The fat aunt yelled at her, and said with a smile: "The banquet is over, the banquet is over, look at your Grandma Wang, you are crying from hunger."

The crowd laughed.

Qian Qian looked at the two with some envy, and whispered to Zhou Zhou, "The people here are really nice."

The folk customs are simple, hospitable and kind, which can be seen from the way they look at Wen Yuji and Li Song.

Zhou Zhou bent his lips and said, "I didn't understand why they had to come here to get married before, but now I understand."

The food and drinks are all prepared by the family, and the neighbors are not restrained. Everyone eats lively, and the two of them are inevitably drunk with a lot of wine.

This is an authentic northern banquet, big elbows, big fish, big trotters... Qianqian eats very happily. He is from Sichuan, and he has created a new way of eating, holding the chili sauce made by Grandma Wang and Eat with elbows.

From around four o'clock in the morning, the two of them were grabbed by Grandma Wang and the others to go through the traditional wedding process. The banquet lasted until after two o'clock in the afternoon. Uncle Ge stuffed two red envelopes into Wen Yuji's hand and said vaguely : "You have a lot of places to spend money outside, so you need to save some money."

Aunt Ge couldn't laugh or cry.

After the banquet was over, a group of people got together to play cards again, the dishes were removed from the table, and snacks of watermelon and melon seeds were placed on the table.

Li Song was holding a poker card in his hand, and Wen Yuji followed him to read it, like it was many years ago, but now there is no little fat boy making trouble, and he has gone to school.

The drunken people are scattered, and the bright moon is in the sky.

The courtyard door is closed, and the house door is also closed.

Wen Yu sent his coat off, he drank too much in the evening, he felt hot and wanted to drink, but before he could get the cup, Li Song pushed him against the wall and kissed him.

He stopped drinking water, hugged Li Song's neck and kissed his lips, and let him take off his clothes.

The suit started from the door of the living room and went all the way to the new house, falling all over the floor.

In the end, in Dahong's quilt, there were only two people entangled and rolling.

On the Qixi Festival under the moon, you may not be able to hear the whispers of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, but in the window next to the grape trellis, the blushing and heartbeating voices are rolling and intertwining in the red waves, blending in harmony.

Bead curtains embroidered with mist and auspicious smoke at dusk, together with Jiameng for a hundred years.

This is the word Grandma Wang embroidered on the quilt, entrusting the blessings and wishes of the older generation.

Congratulations on your newlyweds, from now on, happiness will continue.
