Chapter 135: Lift your hijab (Part 1)
"Azu is getting married. Before he gets married, the whole family must be mobilized and enter a first-level combat readiness state."
February 5 When everyone was having breakfast that day, Lao Dou told everyone what he had been thinking about all night. The main reason was that it was only a few days before Azu's wedding, and his family was very anxious. "Old Dou, you don't want to engage in military exercises, do you?" The second brother deliberately teased Old Dou.
"Don't talk nonsense about what kind of military exercise it is. It's a wedding rehearsal." Old Dou rolled his eyes at the second brother.
“Rehearsal?” Ah Yao didn’t even do it when he got married, and he didn’t want to do it now. He said, “Can’t we hire a wedding company to handle these things? Last time Ah Rui got married. It’s time to arrange things properly.”
"You think you don't have to spend money? How can Azu have money?" Lao Dou retorted first, and then explained: "And what day is it today? It's twenty-four. Azu was already twenty-seven on the day of his wedding. "Which wedding company is still working?" Lao Dou actually did not do it entirely to save money, but because the date set by Azu was too close to the Chinese New Year, everyone else was on holiday, so he had to do it himself and the whole family.
Look at each other, we can only help. When Lao Dou saw that everyone agreed, he immediately started assigning tasks, fearing that everyone would regret it. "Achan, you are very eloquent. I think you will be the eldest sister. As for the bridesmaid, I think it would be more suitable for you to be Yumei. If you want to serve tea and water, then the virtuous and virtuous sister-in-law will be the one to serve. The witness will be Azong. "
"Well done, hubby." The second sister-in-law praised the second brother proudly, and the second brother also said very proudly: "There is no other way, who can say that this young master is so eloquent."
"The witness only has two sentences. It has nothing to do with your eloquence." Mom also made a rare joke. She was really still immersed in the joy of Azu getting married. The second brother was not happy when he heard this, "No, Old Dou, just two lines of dialogue? Isn't it too much of a waste of talent?"
"Okay, stop arguing, do you guys have any thoughts on this arrangement? Opinions?" Lao Dou stopped the two guys and then asked everyone. Kang Qirui immediately raised his hand, "I have an opinion."
Everyone looked at Kang Qirui. Lao Dou didn't ask his name to work just now. What's his opinion? Does he want to be a witness? Faced with everyone's questions, Kang Qirui put down his chopsticks and said: "I have no objection to the second brother being the witness. Among so many brothers, the second brother has the best relationship with Azu, so he is indeed the most suitable to witness the marriage. But I don't care about the other people's work. I have a problem. Sister Dajin needs to carry Diana across the brazier. The second sister-in-law is pregnant, how can she do this work? There is also the eldest sister-in-law, who is also pregnant. How can she run around carrying tea and water? ? And Yumei’s bridesmaid, Lao Dou, there is no bridesmaid in Chinese weddings, the one called Xi Niang.”
Seeing that he was wrong, Lao Dou refused to admit it and said, “No, it’s the same. Whether it’s bridesmaid or bridesmaid, it’s all the same.” Kang Qirui rolled his eyes, there was a huge difference. Although the maid of honor in a Chinese wedding and the bridesmaid in a Western wedding both play the role of accompanying and caring for the bride, in a Chinese wedding the maid of honor is a woman who is well-versed in etiquette hired by the man, while in a Western wedding the bridesmaid is usually the bride's boudoir. Honey friends.
The bride must be familiar with etiquette and remind the bride what to do and what to do at the appropriate time. Therefore, it is generally most suitable to choose a married woman with a spouse, children, and parents-in-law. In the traditional sense, it is believed that choosing such a "happy mother" will bring happiness to the married person. Yumi, an unmarried woman, obviously does not conform to the Chinese style. Wedding requirements.
“I think Sister Dajin should let her third sister-in-law do it. Third sister-in-law is also very eloquent. As for Xi Niang, she only needs to stay with Diana. There is no heavy work and no hardship. She can let the second sister-in-law do it. Sister-in-law, come here. It’s Yumi’s fault to bring tea and water. Then I’ll go help with the tea and water.” Kang Qirui said his thoughts, and then looked at his second sister-in-law, Sachiko Yumi, and they all nodded. question.
Lao Dou agreed smoothly. After arranging several daughters-in-law and goddaughters, Lao Dou began to arrange the work of his sons again, "Aguang, you are responsible for finding a sedan chair to come back. Ayao Arui I will be responsible for installing the new bed and wardrobe.”
Kang Qirui and A Yao had no objections, but the boss Guang Guang was stunned, "A sedan?" "Yes, it's a Chinese wedding now, how can it be done without a sedan?" Lao Dou nodded. The boss was very helpless, "Now where do you want me to find a bridal sedan? Where can I find such a thing? Moreover, at that time, Ari had gone through all the wedding procedures and didn't even get a bridal sedan. Diana lived so far away. Could it be that she Come to the door in a car and then get on the sedan to enter. Take off your pants and fart."
Hahahahahaha, everyone laughed at the boss's words. It was really Lao Dou's request that made everyone laugh. Lao Guang was speechless before he said such words. It takes an hour to drive from where Diana lives, and take a sedan chair? The wedding can only be held the next day!
Seeing that his proposal was rejected again, Lao Dou was very unhappy and his face turned dark. Kang Qirui quickly said: "Oh, don't be angry, Old Dou. We also know that you are nervous about the fourth brother's wedding, but you can't force some things. Just have them. Okay, okay, when will we rehearse?" While comforting him, he also cued the next process to attract Lao Dou's attention.
"We will have a rehearsal tonight." Lao Dou said. Azu originally wanted to postpone it for a day, but seeing Lao Dou's face, he agreed bravely. In fact, according to his own ideas, it would be better to keep everything simple. Just have a meal and tell everyone that you are married, that's all.
By 8pm, everything was ready. Kang Qirui and Ayao installed the big bed and wardrobe at noon today, and are waiting to get married in a few days. "Now I announce that the rehearsal has officially begun." Lao Dou stood up and said after everyone moved the tables and chairs to leave a large open space in the living room.
"Azong, when the wedding starts, just say 'the wedding ceremony begins'. Your task is very important, you have to stand from morning to night." I don't know why, but I always feel that Lao Dou said This was said with a bit of schadenfreude. "What? I'm just going to say one sentence and then have to stand there until night?" The second guy's eyes almost popped out of his head. He originally thought that he could just say a few words easily, but he didn't expect to be so tired.
Lao Dou then gave instructions to everyone about their roles and then officially started the rehearsal. The whole rehearsal was quite satisfactory and there were no mistakes overall. Lao Dou said tomorrow After another rehearsal in the evening, they announced they were disbanding. Xianglan had been very worried while watching the rehearsal just now. After the meeting was disbanded, she took her boss Guang back to her room immediately.
"What's the matter? You're so anxious." Boss Guang asked nervously. After Xianglan became pregnant, he had been very nervous for fear of something happening. "I was thinking that when Azu gets married, we can hold a make-up wedding." Xianglan said, shaking the boss Guang's hand.
"A replacement wedding? Is there any mistake? We have been married for so long. Is it necessary?" The boss relaxed after hearing that nothing happened to Xianglan. No words go through the brain.
Xianglan became angry immediately, and said half angrily and half pitifully: "Of course it is necessary. They all got married in wedding dresses and held weddings. How beautiful it is. We didn't have the conditions before, and I didn't blame you. Now we There are conditions. I just want to fulfill the dream of an ordinary woman. What's wrong? Is it too much?" She became more and more aggrieved and started crying.
The big brother Guang was most afraid of Xianglan crying. He was at a loss to coax Xianglan, "Okay, okay, let's have a wedding. Stop crying. Stop crying. Are you going to have a Chinese wedding like Diana?" ?" As soon as she said this, Xianglan stopped crying. She immediately smiled and said: "I don't want to do it. I want to have a Western-style wedding. I have seen many Chinese-style weddings since I was a child. I don't care about it. I just want to wear a wedding dress. "
"Okay, okay. Then let's arrange a Western-style wedding. I'll discuss it with Azu, and we'll do it with him. We'll pay half of the banquet fee with him, and he should be fine. He may still be asking for it." After the boss said that, he went out, and Xianglan was looking forward to it.
When Azu heard that the boss said that he wanted to hold a make-up wedding on his wedding day, and also said that the banquet would be half of the cost per person, he agreed without even thinking about it. He was originally worried about losing all the money he had saved before getting married. Now that the boss is willing to bear half of the banquet, he can save a lot of money and go on a good honeymoon.
