The wedding of Xu Caifeng and Duan Yu came as scheduled. On this day, the village was very lively. In the village, no one was invited to host a banquet. The whole village was within the banquet area of the host's family. On this day, everyone in the village would go to help.
On this day, Principal Yang also asked for leave. After all, his niece's wedding was a big event. Principal Yang specifically asked the school teachers to have a banquet after school. Most of the students in the school were from this village and would also go there to have a banquet.
Yang Xiaowei didn't want to go, but Zhang Qinli told her that this was the custom in the village. If she didn't go, she would offend not only Principal Yang, but also the village director. The villagers would also think that the teacher was too arrogant and would have problems with you.
Yang Xiaowei had no choice but to follow the school teacher to the place where the banquet was held. She was alone in this ethnic minority place. Even if she didn't want to go, she still had to blend in. After all, she worked here, not just for a day or two, but for several years or a lifetime.
Every time she thinks about this problem, boundless fear will attack Yang Xiaowei. She can never see the end. She doesn't know what will happen to herself in the future?
When they arrived at the place, they saw Xu Caifeng wearing local national costumes from a distance. The clothes were embroidered with some beautiful patterns, and the whole body was covered with jewelry made of silverware. Duan Yu also put on the national costumes worn by local men, looking a little uncomfortable. .
The two of them stood at the door, each carrying a tray with one hand and one hand holding wedding candies and cigarettes. Next to them stood the best man and bridesmaid, who were also wearing national costumes and had different colors from the bride and groom.
"Congratulations!" Zhang Qinli pulled Yang Xiaowei over and put a red envelope in the tray.
"Teacher Zhang, thank you, thank you, eat the wedding candy!" Caifeng said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, Teacher Yang, come on, you can have a wedding candy too!" Zhang Qinli saw Yang Xiaowei stunned and pulled her.
Yang Xiaowei took out a red envelope from her pocket, followed Zhang Qinli's example, and put it on the tray.
"Congratulations!" Yang Xiaowei tried her best to smile.
Xu Caifeng was quite happy when she saw Yang Xiaowei. After all, she still hopes to get everyone's blessings when she gets married.
"Thank you, and I wish you can find your right husband soon! Isn't it, Duan Yu?" Xu Caifeng looked at Duan Yu with a smile.
Duan Yu didn't look so happy, with a tired look on his face. Yang Xiaowei stood in front of him, but he could no longer interact with her. The surroundings were so noisy that he felt his ears were ringing and he couldn't hear anything.
He stared blankly at Yang Xiaowei. Yang Xiaowei hurriedly pulled Zhang Qinli inside. She was afraid that if she stood here for a while, she would cry.
Duan Yu's heart was unconsciously led by Yang Xiaowei's arrival. He kept looking at Yang Xiaowei from the corner of his eye, watching her sit down, eat, and whisper to Zhang Qinli.
After finally welcoming the guests, the newcomers, under the guidance of an old man, began to toast everyone.
Round after round, Duan Yu felt that today's wine was particularly bitter. His parents, who were sitting at the main table and looking at him, felt uncomfortable.
When he arrived at Yang Xiaowei's table, he could no longer stand.
"Come on, let's raise a glass. The newlyweds are toasting to everyone!" the leader next to him shouted.
Zhang Qinli pulled Yang Xiaowei next to her and motioned for her to lift the wine glass in front of her.
"Thank you all for coming to the wedding of Lingling and me, let's have a drink together!" said someone nearby.
"Congratulations!" Everyone said in unison.
Everyone drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. Yang Xiaowei raised it to her mouth, and a spicy smell rushed straight into her nose. It was white wine. Yang Xiaowei stopped in mid-air awkwardly.
She wanted to get away with it, because with such a big table of people, who would notice her.
"Xiaowei, do it!" Xu Caifeng said when she saw that Xiaowei didn't drink.
"Yes, yes, yes, Teacher Yang, drink it. This is a wedding wine. According to our local custom, wedding wine must be drunk, especially the wine toasted by the newlyweds!" the person next to him echoed.
Yang Xiaowei felt like she was going to vomit just by smelling the smell. She really couldn't drink it. Moreover, she was easily drunk even if she drank beer, so she could still get drunk after just one cup of white wine.
"I...I don't know how to drink!" Yang Xiaowei said awkwardly.
"Teacher Yang, do as the Romans do. If you don't drink, you are looking down on us!" someone else said.
Yang Xiaowei was so anxious that she almost cried. Zhang Qinli hurriedly came to the rescue and said, "I'll drink for her. I'll drink for her. She's not from our area and doesn't know how to drink liquor!"
"How can that be done? Teacher Zhang, how can I replace the wedding wine? Aren't you taking advantage of her happiness?" The person who just spoke said again.
Yang Xiaowei closed her eyes, raised the wine to her mouth, and drank as much as she wanted. A glass of white wine wouldn't kill anyone.
Suddenly, a hand caught her wine glass and said, "I'll drink it for her!"
Yang Xiaowei opened his eyes, and it was Duan Yu. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that he could see the distress in Duan Yu's eyes.
"No, Duan Yu, you are toasting her, how can you drink it!" At this time, a tall man in clothes came over and said.
"Madam, drink it. We brew this wine at home, so it's okay!" came the man's rich voice.
Yang Xiaowei raised her head. The man was very tall and stood upright, like a green pine. Everyone was looking at her. Her hands were shaking a little. She didn't know what would happen to her if she drank this glass of wine.
Yang Xiaowei closed her eyes and squinted her heart, and drank the wine in her hand. The strong spicy taste penetrated her heart, tears burst out of her eyes, and she coughed violently.
"Are you okay?" Duan Yu nervously went to pat her shoulder, but the man beat him to it, so he could only take it back in embarrassment.
"Cai Feng, Duan Yu, you go and greet the other guests first. I will take care of this lady, don't worry!" the man said.
"Okay, brother, Xiaowei will be left to you. You can see her off later. She might not be able to go back after drinking!" Caifeng warned.
Yang Xiaowei wiped the overflowing tears, looked at the man and said, "You...you mean Caifeng's brother?"
"Hello, my name is Xu Jiahang!" The man stretched out his hand.
"Hello...Hello!" Yang Xiaowei stretched out her hand.
"Sit down and order some food. This wine has a strong stamina. Are you okay? This is how we are here, don't mind it!" Xu Jiahang sat down next to her.
"Jiahang, when did you come back?" Zhang Qinli asked enthusiastically.
"Teacher Zhang, I've been back for two days. My sister always has to attend her wedding, so I took the opportunity to take annual leave!" Xu Jiahang said politely.
"As expected of a soldier, he looks good when standing and looks good when sitting!" Zhang Qinli said with a smile.
"Haha, Teacher Zhang, you are kidding!" Xu Jian Jiahang smiled.
"Jiahang, this is our school's teacher, Yang Xiaowei!" Zhang Qinli introduced.
"Oh, Teacher Yang, welcome to us!" Xu Jiahang said.
Yang Xiaowei felt her face was hot and her head was a little dizzy, so she could only smile back.
"Teacher Zhang, let's go back, I feel a little dizzy!" Yang Xiaowei leaned close to Zhang Qinli's ear and said.
"Wait a little longer, it's not the right time to leave now!" Zhang Qinli said.
Yang Xiaowei felt that her whole body was light and she really wanted to lie down for a while.
At this time, Zhang Qinli's husband Wang Dazhuang came over and saw Zhang Qinli and said, "Why don't you take the baby back first? I still have a while!"
"Okay, then drink less and come back early!" Zhang Qinli replied.
But when there is a happy event in the village, there is no reason not to get drunk. Zhang Qinli also knows that her words are in vain. When the village holds wine, Wang Dazhuang almost always helps her family, and she can't catch up at school on weekdays.
"Teacher Yang, I have to take my child back. Can you go back alone?" Zhang Qinli said.
"Okay, it's okay, Teacher Zhang, just go and look after the child!" Yang Xiaowei cheered up and said.
Zhang Qinli was a little embarrassed, but she had two children and couldn't take care of Yang Xiaowei. She turned to look at Xu Jiahang and said, "Jiahang, why don't you send Teacher Yang off for me!"
"No problem, Teacher Zhang, please take the children back quickly. They are all sleepy!" Xu Jiahang stood up and said.
"No, no, I can leave by myself!" Yang Xiaowei also stood up to leave, but she felt dizzy instantly. She shook her head and sat down again.
"I'll take a rest first!" At this time, Yang Xiaowei's face was so red that it looked like blood was dripping from her face.
Xu Jiahang hurriedly supported her and said, "Let me just say that we have a lot of energy after drinking. Sit down for a while and I will take you back!"
Yang Xiaowei sat and felt like she was about to fall asleep. She couldn't care less and leaned lightly on Xu Jiahang's shoulder.
Xu Jiahang was stunned. He had never been so close to a girl in his life. She hurriedly held up Yang Xiaowei's head and said, "Teacher Yang, are you okay?"
"No, it's okay!" Yang Xiaowei said drowsily.
"Sit down, I'll get you some water!" Xu Jiahang felt his heart beat faster and he was extremely nervous.
"I don't drink water, I want to drink!" Yang Xiaowei said in a daze.
"Ah? You are drunk, you can't drink anymore!" Xu Jiahang said hurriedly.
"It's good to be drunk. You can forget everything when you're drunk!" Yang Xiaowei suddenly burst into tears.
"You...why are you crying!" Xu Jiahang panicked.
"Why? Why has everyone left me? Am I not worthy of being loved!" Yang Xiaowei burst into tears suddenly, and the crowd looked at her strangely.
"Sorry, sorry, she's drunk!" Xu Jiahang stood up awkwardly and apologized.
Principal Yang also looked here, hurriedly came over and whispered: "She is drunk, Jiahang, please send her back to school, don't let others laugh!"
Duan Yu also looked here and saw and heard what Yang Xiaowei said. For a moment, he really wanted to ignore everything and pull Yang Xiaowei away from here.
Duan Yu's father grabbed him and said, "Don't be impulsive, there are so many people!"
Xu Jiahang squatted down, asked the people next to him to help him on his back, and hurriedly went out.
"Where are you taking me? Let go, you are a bad person!" Yang Xiaowei struggled on Xu Jiahang's back.
Xu Jiahang shook his head, drunk women are really difficult to deal with!
"Don't move. If you move again, I'll throw you on the side of the road!" Xu Jiahang said.
Unexpectedly, Yang Xiaowei really stopped moving and lay obediently on his back. This woman was as light as a piece of paper. She must have been obsessed with losing weight. Xu Jiahang smiled.
As they walked, Yang Xiaowei began to sob softly again. Xu Jiahang did not dare to say a word and let her cry. This woman must have some grievance in her heart, otherwise she would not cry like this.
After a while, they arrived at the school. Xu Jiahang shrugged and said, "Hey, which dormitory do you live in!"
Xiaowei had already cried herself to sleep. She was shaken and pointed to the dormitory in a daze.
Xu Jiahang is very familiar with this school. When he was studying here, his uncle was the principal here. At that time, he was naughty and didn't want to go home, so he lived with his uncle in the school. Principal Yang doted on the two siblings the most. But he is really serious when he is serious, so they are both afraid and in love with Principal Yang.
Xu Jiahang has seen drunk people, and Yang Xiaowei is relatively honest. She just cries and doesn't make a mess or make a fuss.
Xu Jiahang came to the door of Yang Xiaowei's dormitory. Like all the teachers here, Yang Xiaowei's dormitory door was unlocked. Xu Jiahang put Yang Xiaowei on the bed, took off her shoes and covered her with a quilt. Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, it seemed inappropriate to stay here by herself, so he poured her a glass of water and put it on the table next to the bed before leaving. , the family is very busy today, he has to go back quickly to help.
When they got home, Xu Caifeng and Duan Yu were serving tea to their parents. He stood by and watched, feeling very moved.
Caifeng is 3 years younger than him and has followed him like a follower since he was a child. He didn't expect to get married now. He joined the army when he was 18 and has been in the army for 9 years. In another year, he will be able to change his career. These years and His family was spending less time together and more separation. At this moment, looking at his sister, he felt his eyes were hot.
He felt very satisfied with his sister's husband Duan Yu. When he came back from vacation last year, Duan Yu often came to his house for dinner. They were old acquaintances. At that time, he saw that Caifeng was interested in Duan Yu, and he even joked that Duan Yu would Forget it he's the brother-in-law.
Unexpectedly, when he takes another vacation this year, he will eat the wedding candies of these two people. Life is really full of surprises.
"Dad, Mom, please drink tea!" Caifeng respectfully handed the tea to Duan Yu's parents.
"Duan Yu's parents took out the red envelope from their pockets and handed it to Caifeng.
It was originally a very heartwarming scene, but from Xu Jiahang's point of view, he felt that Duan Yu's parents were not that happy. He heard that Duan Yu's family would no longer hold wedding ceremonies. Although this was the intention of Xu Guoqing and Yang Damei, he was very surprised. How could Duan Yu's parents agree?
"From now on, when Duan Yu works here, he will have to rely on you to help him with everything!" Duan Yu's father said.
"You're so polite, in-laws, we will all be one family from now on!" Xu Guoqing said with joy.
Xu Guoqing is the happiest today. Caifeng's wedding has given him a lot of face.
After the recognition ceremony, Duan Yu quietly pulled Xu Jiahang aside and said, "Brother, is the female teacher okay just now?"
"It's okay, she slept like a pig. I sent her back to the dormitory!" Xu Jiahang said with a smile.
"Oh, does anyone take care of her?" Duan Yu said.
"It's okay. Don't worry about these things. Today is your and Caifeng's big day. You don't need to worry about other things." Xu Jiahang hugged him.
"However, Duan Yu, if you treat Caifeng badly, I can't forgive you!" Xu Jiahang gestured with his fist.
Duan Yu smiled awkwardly and went to chat with his parents.
