"I've been a little busy lately, so I'm sorry for the poor hospitality." Chen Xing ate the sweet fresh fruit and said, "Isn't this a poor hospitality? To be honest, this is my first time to be a guest at someone else's house. There are so many good things to eat." He rarely went to his friends' homes alone, and even when he did, most of the time he went out to eat.
After all, there are no chefs in his circle of friends, so it would be strange for a group of twenty-year-old boys to know how to cook.
So this is the first time I have experienced such a rich reception. Hearing Chen Xing's words, Kony said: "If you came to me a month ago, I would have roasted a sheep for you. And don't look at my mother like that. If I weren't here, she would be more enthusiastic than me. I’m just worried that you won’t feel comfortable with it.”
"You are so enthusiastic, thank you!"
"Is there anything I can thank you for, hehe." He stood up from the opposite side and sat next to Chen Xing, saying: "My best man group is still short of a show-stopper. You said that with your looks, if you stand in front of others, then How many bridesmaids on the opposite side have to be compared."
"Ah? Should I be the best man? I've never been." By the way, doesn't the best man have to find a groom? Although his relationship with Kony is good, it's not enough to be dragged into being the best man.
"Isn't that better!" Kony said with a smile: "We have a saying here that after being a best man, you will definitely find true love in a short time, and it is especially effective for first-timers, really."
"Feudal superstition, right?"
"Would you know if you try it? It's very fun." Chen Xing was a little hesitant. He saw a lot of weddings on the Internet where the best man and bridesmaid were manipulated, so being the best man was not serious in itself, but what if he was manipulated? Not good.
With his temper, he would probably just walk away. But Kony will probably be embarrassed by then. Seeing Chen Xing start to hesitate, Kony persuaded him a few more times.
Chen Xing asked: "You don't have any activities to harass people here, right?" Kony then understood why Chen Xing hesitated and said quickly: "Are you talking about those vulgar marriage troubles? We have never had those in Western Xinjiang who are asking for children. That’s right, I’ve seen it on the Internet, do you have it in Sichuan Province?”
"There is no such thing in Sichuan Province." People in Sichuan Province have always been very traditional, and in the past few decades, society has been promoting the hotness of Sichuan girls, which has led to the fact that girls in Sichuan Province are now generally more spicy.
Dare to make trouble with the bridesmaid? Do you believe that the bridesmaid dares to scratch everyone’s face? Kony suddenly sighed and said: "Don't think of us as a remote area. Although the overall development of our place is definitely not as good as the first-tier cities in the mainland, such as your Chengdu, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, but we People here are more open-minded than many of you mainlanders, and those bad customs have long since disappeared.”
"That's not what I meant. After all, I don't know what the marriage process is like in every place."
"It's very simple. We all go to my wife's place to pick up the bride, then stay one night and pick her up the next day. And don't worry, you won't be the only best man, there are more than a dozen of us."
"More than a dozen!!!" Chen Xing was shocked. Sure enough, it is different from the custom in Sichuan Province. In the New Territories, there is usually only one best man and one bridesmaid.
Some people will spend more time getting married, but that is because everyone is a good friend, and it is not easy to choose one person alone. In this way, one or two more groomsmen or bridesmaids will be selected, and then the other party will also add one more.
As for the dozen or so, this is the first time Chen Xing has heard of them. And according to Chinese tradition, good things come in pairs, so wouldn’t there also be a dozen bridesmaids?
Good guys, you can play a game of football. But speaking of it this way, Chen Xing has nothing to worry about. What do more than a dozen people have to worry about?
If anything happens, it must be Koni's young guys who take the blame first. Chen Xing feels that he is also going to make some soy sauce.
"That's okay."
"Haha, great. I saw a video of you receiving an award abroad. You look good in a suit. We will wear it then." Kony pulled Chen Xing up and hugged him. Chen Xing always felt inexplicable. , are you so excited to be paddling as a best man?
What's the use of being good-looking? It's impossible for the bridesmaids and groomsmen from both sides to compete to see who's good-looking, right?
Although he was a little confused, Chen Xing's curiosity also increased. This wedding is sure to be interesting.
At least it was more interesting than the weddings Chen Xing attended in the New Territories. Kony was eating with Chen Xing and chatting about their local affairs. When Chen Xing had almost finished eating, Kony said, "I'll take you around in the afternoon."
"I'll just go shopping by myself while you do your business." Chen Xing saw that he was still working on a new house, so he probably didn't have much time to accompany him around this small county town.
Getting married is a big event, but don't delay it with your own problems.
"Then don't go too far. Our city is a bit winding. I'm afraid you'll get lost by then." Chen Xing shook his phone and said, "Full battery, full signal, haha." He was eating just now. It happened to be charged, and Chen Xing couldn't get lost if he could open the map. At most, he didn't know the small roads in the city, and he might take a detour on the way back.
After traveling to so many places in the past two years, Chen Xing is now very good at reading maps.
"That's no problem. My mother will prepare delicious food. Remember to come back for dinner at the right time." Chen Xing made an OK gesture, took the camera on his phone, took out the drone in the suitcase, and put the notebook away. Go in, fully armed, and ready to go out.
When you encounter beautiful scenery, you use a camera to take pictures, and when you encounter difficult-to-photograph scenes, you also use a drone. If I’m not allowed to fly at night, then it’s okay if I fly during the day, right?
After going downstairs, Chen Xing walked out of the community along the road. This community is built next to a road in the city. There is a square the size of a basketball court when you walk out, and then you reach the curb. The road is very wide, with four lanes in both directions, plus a very wide non-motorized lane.
There weren't many shops around, otherwise Chen Xing would have just bought something and gone upstairs. I'll take something with me when I go back later.
The left side is the way you came from, and you will reach the suburbs not far away, so if you want to go to a more prosperous part of the city, you should go to the right.
Click on the navigation and take a look. Indeed, their current location is actually on the edge of the county seat, but judging from the map, it is surrounded by houses like this, and the infrastructure is gradually catching up. There is even a project sign on the opposite side of the community to build a street center. garden.
County Chen Xing looked ahead and put away his cell phone. As long as you know the general direction, there is no need to look at your phone all the time. Just follow the navigation when you come back.
Chen Xing clipped the action camera and clicked on recording in the system. The recording of the system is much more stable than that of an action camera. When it is taken out of the mailbox, it feels like it is pushed by the device. Whether it is turning or walking, it is smooth and the pixels are clearer.
Street photography has begun. Although Chen Xing has been developing in the direction of a well-known photographer, this does not affect his ability to be a little grandma on station B.
I haven't joined any guilds and only rely on the traffic provided by the website. Now I have more than 700,000 fans and the coins have even reached 170,000.
Chen Xing didn't even know how he could use up all his coins. However, the coins of the up owner can be exchanged for money.
According to the rules of station b, if 100 coins are exchanged for one dollar, Chen Xing has one thousand seven. A little less.
So Chen Xing only changed it once before, and then he ignored it. Walking along this street for more than two hundred meters, you can see some open shops under the surrounding houses. Chen Xing found that there were quite a few hardware stores. He didn't know if these were newly built buildings or hardware stores. The most profitable reason.
The county government building is also here. This street is quite long. Judging from its size, it should be the main road of the county. Chen Xing walked all the way to a bridge.
After walking across the bridge, the street on the opposite side seems to be not as wide as it seems here. While the width shrinks, it turns to the right with a slight slope, and the houses there are not as planned as here.
old Town! Chen Xing suddenly thought of this concept. Whether it is an urban area, a county, or a small town, if it is not a town built entirely by relocated people, it will have its own old city.
Generally speaking, the old town represents the traditional culture of the city, and some unique or inherited delicacies can be found in such old towns.
For example, there is a gouache in the New Territories that is particularly delicious. It is not available on any delivery app, so if you want to eat it, you can only walk over and eat it.
The boss is an elderly person and does not have a WeChat payment code, so he only accepts cash. There should be some in here too?
Chen Xing walked over immediately without even thinking about it. In fact, the roads here are also well built, but they are not as flat as before.
The houses on both sides are not as planned as those in the previous places, but they are full of design and beautiful.
The road keeps winding upwards. It is as if this urban area was originally built on a hillside. It is just that this slope is not as steep as those in Sichuan Province. It is smoother and suitable for building a city.
But now that the city wants to expand, it is obviously not possible to stay on the hillside, so the local government is working so hard to develop new cities outside.
Chen Xing took many photos here. These houses are all so beautiful, with different colors and different styles of construction.
It seems like in the countryside, everyone cultivates his or her own way. But this is obviously not a rural area, and there is no land around for them to plant. The area of the houses is fixed. The local people renovated their houses with their own ideas when the area could not be increased.
Chen Xing doesn't even want to call this place a city. If you look closely, it looks like a fairy tale world. There are blue houses and pink houses. Some families eat late, and some smoke can still be seen floating above the houses.
The sunshine at noon was very warm at the moment, a rare warm sunshine in winter. Many children living around came out to play.
The sun shines slantingly on the street through the tall poplar trees, making the speckled leaves glow with golden light.
This picture is extremely beautiful. Chen Xing quickly took a few photos. Although it is difficult to sell such photos on the website, making a video will definitely get a lot of likes.
There were also parents taking their children out on the road, holding their children's hands and talking in Uyghur while walking. After noticing that Chen Xing was looking at them, they would also smile and nod at Chen Xing, which was very friendly.
The whole scene is integrated into a picture of Uyghur life, so real. Chen Xing saw an open door on the road. Chen Xing was curious about what the homes of the Uighurs living here looked like, so he looked outside the door and looked inside. There were many flowers and grape trellises.
Inside the door is a yard, which is lush in March, with many green plants. There are many flowers leaning against the corner, and an aunt is watering the flowers with a shower head.
What does the left side look like? Chen Xing was a little curious and moved closer. Unexpectedly, someone spoke as soon as he reached the door.
"Who are you?" Chen Xing looked over. There was a small pavilion on the left hand side of the entrance blocked by green plants from the sunlight. Inside there was an object that looked like a bed and a table. A little girl who looked about thirteen years old was looking at him curiously.
Hearing the girl's words, the aunt who was watering the water also turned around. She is about thirty-seven or eighteen years old, a very typical Uighur woman.
"Hello." She said hello politely first, and then said, "What can I do for you?" Her voice was very soft, with the rising tone of Mandarin spoken by Uighurs.
Logically speaking, Chen Xing should have gotten used to it after being here for two days, but now that he heard it, he still felt a little guilty.
She won't call the police to catch me breaking into a house, right? He just entered the police station yesterday, and he didn't want to go in a second time.
So he quickly explained: "I am a tourist. When I was taking pictures on the street, I saw that your yard is very beautiful. I walked over without knowing it. Please don't mind."
"Hahaha, I don't mind." The aunt smiled boldly and said: "Come in quickly, I will introduce you to these flowers. Do you know them all?" Chen Xing just walked through the door and didn't go in too much. Shen said, "I know most of them, but I haven't seen some of them."
"It's normal. Some of the flowers we have here are brought in from Russia or Kazakhstan. They are not available in the mainland. Where are you from, little brother?"
"I'm from Sichuan Province." The child who seemed to be still doing homework said loudly: "I know, I know!! There are giant pandas in Sichuan Province!" Chen Xing smiled. This may be many people's first impression of Sichuan Province. An impression.
In addition to giant pandas, there are probably Sichuan restaurants that have now taken over all over the country.
"Yes, there are giant pandas in Sichuan Province."
"Wow, I really want to see it..."
"Then you have to study hard. You can go to Sichuan Province when you go to college in the future, or travel to Sichuan Province from other places." The aunt took advantage of the situation and said: "Did you hear that? Brother told you to study hard and finish your homework quickly. Wrote it!" Then he and Chen Xing began to introduce the flowers in the yard one by one. The flowers whose names Chen Xing didn't know also bloomed beautifully. It was obvious that the aunt took care of them carefully, unlike many people who bought them. Just leave the flowers at home and let the flowers grow according to the circumstances.
After about ten minutes, Chen Xing was ready to leave. The aunt persuaded her, "Please take more pictures. I have other flowers at home. Take more pictures and I'll make you something to eat. Don't leave in a hurry."
"No need, eldest sister, I want to take a closer look around." Seeing that Chen Xing was not retained, the aunt felt a little pity, but she still said: "Then you can go to the square in front and have a look, that's where we are The most popular place here is packed with people no matter day or night.”
