grandfather's daughter-in-law

October 1980, [-] was the wedding day of Yu Minxiu and Ding Jianguo.Double Ten is taken from the meaning of perfection, and the wedding ceremony was held at the Century Hotel in Taipei.At the same time, I ushered in my birthday.

At 05:30 in the morning, the makeup artist came to the door.It was an old woman with heavy make-up, with dark eye shadows, which made her eye sockets look deep, and her thin lips were painted with fiery red lip balm. She was coquettish and kitsch, but her makeup was extremely sophisticated. In less than half an hour, Yu Minxiu was originally beautiful Under her hand, her beautiful face is like a delicate flower blooming in the wind, graceful and radiant.

I stood by the window and watched quietly, and there was a sound of opening and closing the door from time to time outside the room, and the noisy and festive day came like this.Three or five women with bright makeup came into the room noisily, said compliments and blessings, and went out again after a while.Then there was a deafening sound of firecrackers downstairs.I lifted the curtain and looked down. Twelve ceremonial cars were approaching, with red happy characters pasted on them. A bamboo tree from root to leaf was wrapped with pink gauze, and grapes hung from the root.On the leading car, two villains in wedding dresses stood proudly, dancing with the wind.The car stopped downstairs, and Ding Jianguo, wearing a bouquet on his chest, got out of the car, holding a bouquet in his hand, with a smile on his face.

In terms of appearance alone, except for his slightly short height, Ding Jianguo has a well-proportioned body, good facial features, and a short cropped head that looks capable and domineering. Fits well and is sophisticated.From looks alone, they are a perfect match.I silently retracted my gaze and walked out of the room.

In the kitchen, Yu's mother is preparing Yu Minxiu's last sister meal before she gets married, and Yu's father is helping her.I glanced lightly and walked towards the living room.There were several people sitting in twos and threes on the sofa, and Yu Minying sat among them, still wearing green eyeshadow.At the door, three or five bridesmaids blocked the door in full force.

"Come, come, come!"

The chattering voices of the women reminded me that Ding Jianguo was here.The women sitting on the sofa surrounded Yu Minying like arrows and walked over, blocking the door.This is the first time for me to send off a bride in such a grand manner. In the past, I only heard sporadically that a married man has to go through five trials and six generals before he can embrace a beautiful woman. I think this is probably it. Getting a house is not an easy task.Among the bustling crowd, Yu Minying may be glimpsed.It was already October weather, and she was still wearing a navy blue dress with a deep V on the back, revealing her smooth and fair skin.I was in a trance for a moment, thinking that I saw Yu Minxiu whom I had just met.

It would be great if she married Yu Minying!I secretly thought this way, and only heard a sweet voice teasingly said: "Groom officer, are you ready? It's not easy to pass the test."

This is pleasing.There were two cheerful and silly laughter from outside the door.The woman swished her throat and asked loudly: "The first question, when did you fall in love with our Miss Yu Minxiu?"

This is exactly what I want to know but dare not ask. Such a deep miss must be a lingering love.

"Did you forget it?" Another female voice couldn't help but gloated in the joke.

"No, no," Ding Jianguo retorted very quickly, but he didn't continue after the rebuttal.I couldn't help walking towards the door and sneaking a glance.There is only a narrow door gap between the bright and bright clothes.

"Since it's not, then tell me!"

"It was two years ago." Ding Jianguo answered this sentence very softly, and I almost couldn't hear it, so I made up my mind again.A hand was placed on my shoulder unexpectedly, which startled me.Before I could speak, Yu Minxiu stopped me.Her hand was attached to my lips, which was cold and icy cold, with a strong fragrance.The wedding dress leaf was held in her arms, revealing a section of calf and beautiful jade feet, and the toenails were newly painted with pink and clear nail polish.She smiled at me and stared nervously at the door.

The women were very excited, no one paid attention to us, and shouted loudly: "Where is it? Louder, or our bride won't hear us!"

"In the restaurant!" Ding Jianguo followed suit and raised his voice.

"At that time, what did our bride do to make you fall in love with her?"

"At that time," Ding Jianguo lowered his voice again, probably recalling, "At that time, my aunt was introducing me to a blind date, and she came with my aunt, sitting quietly beside her, looking very gentle, with mischievous eyes And Lingdong, looking at me blinking. I was still a soldier at that time, very busy, and many of those girls had only met once, and I only remembered this face afterward."

It turned out to be the case.

It turns out that there is no such thing as love at first sight. Love comes from a familiar face.

I turned my head to look at Yu Minxiu, but I saw her lips tightly pursed, her face was pale, her clear face seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist, her eyes as warm as black jade seemed to have lost their vitality, and there was a thick stream of mist flowing again. sad.

"Are you okay?" I asked worriedly, sensitively aware that there seemed to be something wrong with Ding Jianguo's words.

"It's okay." She shook her head slightly, and loosened her hand holding the wedding dress.

The women were still rowdy.Through the stunned crowd, I could vaguely see Yu Minying standing in the crowd, glanced lightly, with a shallow smile on the corner of her mouth, which seemed more like a joke than a sarcasm.I subconsciously thought that she understood the mystery in those words.I speculated repeatedly, but couldn't think of anything wrong.

"Officer groom, as long as you say "I love you" to the bride three times loudly, we will let you in. The bride is still in the room, so she can hear her if you speak louder." Even so, the hands pulled intentionally or unintentionally. Opened half the door.This fun seems to be coming to an end.

Outside the door, Ding Jianguo's face was flushed from holding back, and he was eager to push the door to come in, but was closed by all the women, and he said with a smile: "If you want to enter, you can, as long as you say three times, the bride, I love you."

In the end, Yu Minxiu didn't wait to say "I love you". It was also the first time for Ding Jianguo to get married in a male college. His face was flushed from his cheeks to the base of his neck, and he was panting heavily.He was probably too shy.In the end, the women each accepted a red envelope of 99 yuan and let him in.

Yu Minxiu just looked at him quietly, with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, but the deep love and sadness in her eyes couldn't be melted away.Ding Jianguo clumsily handed the bouquet to her, called Axiu, and there was only this affectionate look at each other.I don't know who suddenly pushed Ding Jianguo hard, and finally broke the thick affection.Ding Jianguo took a staggered step and almost fell at Yu Minxiu's feet. The crowd behind him burst into cheers.

Father Yu's expression was a little indifferent, probably because he was dissatisfied with Ding Jianguo's unspoken confession, and there was only a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth.Mother Yu was extremely satisfied, and after a sincere blessing, she sent the two out of the house with a smile on her face.

Downstairs, twelve limousines were waiting in line, and the driver was waiting beside the car.Yu's mother followed behind with a basin of water. After they got into the car and left, the water poured out, and tears fell down belatedly.

"Okay, okay, my daughter has grown up now." Yu's father comforted her by stroking her back, looking at the slow-moving convoy, his eyes were foggy.

"I just remembered that when Axiu was a child, her health was worse than that of Aying. When she was over a year old, her legs still trembled when she walked. She often got her nose bruised and her face swollen, and she often fell ill. Once she had a fever in the middle of the night and kept talking nonsense. You were not here, so I carried her behind my back." Seeking medical treatment everywhere, the fever subsided the next day, almost scared me to death. In the blink of an eye, I was married earlier than Ah Ying. The water thrown out by the married daughter will be someone else’s family from now on.” Yu’s mother babbled, He looked at Yu Minying beside him.

Yu Minying just stood there blankly, watching, without saying anything, and finally turned her head proudly, and went back to the house.The convoy drove farther and farther, getting smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared into a small black spot in the field of vision.Yu's father put his arms around Yu's mother's shoulders and greeted us to get on the car and head to the Century Hotel.

The Century Hotel is majestic and majestic, the gate is surrounded by colorful ribbons, red happy words are posted everywhere, it is full of joy, even the staff in front of the gate are very energetic, Ding Jianguo has given the Yu family a lot of face.I sit by the window.The grander and more colorful the wedding, the deeper the funeral for me, honoring my untimely love.For me, all the beauty is just a hypocritical appearance, and the essence of the world is only gray.

From time to time, a master of ceremonies will come to the stage to preside over, invite distinguished guests, and congratulate the new couple.

The so-called distinguished guest was a commander surnamed Ma, who was said to be Ding Jianguo's chief during his military service.Later, Ding Jianguo was sent to the sea, he was very sorry, but everyone has his own ambitions, so he had to let the birds fly.The bloated Ma Ling came on stage with a beautiful young woman, said a few clichéd compliments in front of the microphone, and then stepped down.Later, the master of ceremonies said some beautiful words, and Yu Minxiu walked in, holding Yu's father's arm in the melodious tune of the wedding march.She walked very slowly and gracefully, with a faint smile on her face, step by step into the palace of happiness.Ding Jianguo was waiting for her at the end with a smile on his face.They must be looking at each other, though I can't see it.I hid behind the heavy curtains, and then I heard Father Yu's deep and firm voice.

"First of all, I would like to thank you all for coming from afar to attend my little daughter's wedding. Today is my daughter Yu Minxiu and Mr. Ding Jianguo's big day, thank you all. Thank you for your blessings. I believe that with your blessings, the future marriage of this couple Love and love must be flat and flat in life. Here, I also offer my blessings, wishing you a happy life together. But there is one point that I have to bring up on this grand occasion today. I hope that Mr. Ding Jianguo can Give me a promise, and I hope everyone can be a witness." He paused, as if to give everyone a time to react.I came out from behind the curtain and saw him standing in front of the microphone, scanning everyone.

"Everyone knows that the Ding family sings operas. Although our Yu family is not very rich, it's not that I have a prejudice against theater performers. I have also acted in operas before, and I know that it is not easy. The hard work of acting is not for everyone. I can bear it, so I am determined not to let my daughter go on this path. Whether you say I love you or be domineering, I only have one request——I can’t let my daughter go back to the Folk Music Club and go back to acting. You can do it ?"

Yu Minxiu lowered her head slightly, unable to see the expression clearly.There was some commotion off the court, and people who didn't understand the inside story talked about it.After a while, Ding Jianguo took the microphone from Yu's father, and slowly turned around to face the crowd.The microphone rustled because of the shaking, which gave me a momentary tinnitus.

"Today, I would like to invite everyone to be a witness. I, Ding Jianguo, swear on my reputation. One day, I will never let Xiuxiu return to the opera troupe to sing. I will treat her wholeheartedly in this life and only love her. A gentleman's words Hurry up." He looked at the crowd frankly, without any timidity or flinching.

Strangely, my heart was suddenly very peaceful, and the surging sadness I had been waiting for did not come as promised.Perhaps, I have finally witnessed this moment, and finally reached the point of no return. Without extravagant hopes and hopes, my heart is no longer suffering.It's just a young life, one who doesn't understand suffering, one who makes promises lightly, how can he know all kinds of life without the baptism of life pain, young promises are more like a blank check with no shelf life, how can they be exchanged for happiness?

The banquet started from time to time, and Yu Minxiu and Ding Jianguo walked freely among the guests and friends with wine glasses in hand.Her face was flushed like a ripe apple, her figure was full of smiles, like a dancer jumping briskly, the wine glass in her hand was empty, full and empty again, and there was a glass on the edge of the glass. A faint red lip print.

At that time, I had no ability to think of anything else, so I sank down.Maybe I also reminded myself not to drink too much or get drunk, but I can’t remember clearly.The last memory was fixed on the edge of the cup, a circle of faint red lip prints, I gently printed my lips on it.The warm wine is warm and burns fiercely when it enters the throat, like a lover's hot tears.I drank it cup by cup, like drinking this difficult love.
