As night falls quietly, the hotel lobby becomes lively.
Luo Yushu put on a white main wedding dress, and the makeup artist was touching up her makeup.
Luo's father and Luo's mother also hurried to the hotel. They would go on stage together later and needed to change clothes and put on makeup first. Cai Zhen and Ji Jianhui arrived early and were already dressed.
Cai Zhen came in with some pastries and a small bowl of porridge and placed them in front of Luo Yushu: "Are you hungry? Eat something quickly. You may not even bother to eat for a while." After she finished speaking, she looked at Luo's mother next to her, " My mother-in-law, do you want me to go get some for you?"
Luo's mother was asking the makeup artist to apply foundation with her eyes closed. She said without thinking, "Okay."
"Mom, don't be busy, take a rest, these are enough." Luo Yushu called out to Cai Zhen, but the other party waved her hand and walked out the door and said, "It's okay, there is a cake, Mom will get it for you. Point.”
Cai Zhen not only took the cake, but also a bowl of taro milk porridge. She said to Luo Yushu: "I heard that this porridge is good. Try it, but it's a bit hot."
"Thank you, Mom." Luo Yushu looked at the steaming porridge with a few pieces of taro on top and the fragrant aroma. She was very moved.
Cai Zhen asked her to eat more, then turned around and went out to work again.
Luo's mother had already changed her clothes and put on makeup. She had never looked so delicate as she did today. She couldn't bear to look away when she looked at herself in the mirror, feeling happy.
Today I got up in a hurry to greet the guests. They were all wearing old clothes. Now I am wearing a cheongsam specially rented. The rent alone costs thousands. I feel different, more noble.
"Ji Huai and your mother-in-law are both very kind to you, and you will enjoy happiness if you marry her." Luo's mother is very satisfied with the marriage, but when it comes to the wedding, she still has opinions, "But..."
"Want to eat cake?" Luo Yushu picked up a small cake and interrupted her.
Luo Mu: "I've eaten."
"The wedding banquet is about to start. You go and sit outside first. I'm also busy here." Luo Yushu didn't give her a chance to speak again.
Luo's mother and Luo's father walked out and when they reached the hall, they were both stunned.
The style of the wedding banquet here is completely different from that of the Luo family. The venue is exquisitely decorated, with layers of gauze hanging from the top. The stage design is even more beautiful and romantic. There are flowers in both rows and wedding photos of the two, revealing everything. Be careful.
The two of them sat at the first table anxiously, looking at the people who kept coming, their expressions changed again and again, they didn't say anything, and they were still a little embarrassed.
As the wedding banquet time approaches, guests arrive one after another.
The invitations were all their classmates, friends and work colleagues, as well as the few fellow villagers from the Ji family here...
The host was very good and the atmosphere quickly became lively. Ji Huai stood on the stage first with a bouquet, solemn music sounded, the door of the banquet hall opened, and Luo Yushu, dressed in a white wedding dress, slowly walked towards him.
Ji Huai also walked toward her, went to the steps to lift up her skirt, and held her hand to the center of the stage.
The light shone on the two of them, and they only had each other in their eyes. He took her hand and kissed her gently on the back of her hand, his eyes affectionate and firm.
His confession was plain and natural. He simply said that the two of them had been together from high school to now. They were lucky to still be together, so they wanted to make a promise for the rest of their lives.
Ji Huai looked at her affectionately, his thin lips slightly parted: "The days ahead will be long, let's walk slowly together."
The corners of her delicate and red mouth were curved, and her clear and beautiful eyes were stained with a layer of water mist, blurring her eyes. She held back her sobs and nodded solemnly, "Okay."
When the parents came on stage, Ji Jianhui was not good at speaking, but Cai Zhen was ready. She had been waiting for this moment for a long time. She did not talk about the hard work of raising Ji Huai, but blessed her son to find someone he liked. She liked Luo Yushu very much and praised her over and over again as a sensible child.
The love was so deep that she wiped away her tears. Luo Yushu went to hand her a tissue and comforted Cai Zhen.
Luo's father and Luo's mother were fucking each other, becoming more and more embarrassed. People who didn't know better thought that the two were marrying a wife instead of a daughter. The host asked the two if they had anything to say, but they were not prepared, so naturally they couldn't say it.
Embarrassed on stage, embarrassed off stage.
Luo's mother went to the bathroom on the way, and Chen Jiao and one of the bridesmaids also walked in. They washed their hands and were still discussing today's wedding banquet:
"When I went to Luo's house, I thought that Ji's wedding banquet was not that good, and I felt aggrieved for Luo Yushu, but it turned out that this place was so beautiful. Compared with Luo's house, it was like heaven and earth. Her parents were so indifferent. "
"Isn't that right? Her parents have never cared about her. We have known it before. Her sister didn't even dress up today. She was in pajamas. Except for Yushu's room, the house was not tidied. She didn't pay attention to it at all. "
"Oh. Some parents shouldn't complain that their daughters don't come back often after they get married, and their hearts are toward outsiders. Isn't that not treating others badly? I think her mother-in-law is very good to her, and don't say that people from other families won't come back even if they want me. ”
"My parents think they are smart, but in fact everyone knows it very well."
…
After the two of them left, Luo's mother came out of the bathroom, walked out in a daze, and sat down again.
Ji Huai and Luo Yushu were toasting. Cai Zhen smiled and said that Luo's mother was talking, but she was also absent-minded. After a while, Ji Huai and Luo Yushu came back and started eating.
"Drink some soup to warm your stomach." Cai Zhen served soup to the two of them.
"Mom, please take a break. I'll do it myself." Luo Yushu just stood up and went to take it. Ji Huai had already taken the spoon first and then filled it, "I'll do it."
Cai Zhen stopped and asked her again: "Are you tired?"
"It's okay. But these shoes are a bit harsh on my feet. Fortunately, my mother gave me a cushion, otherwise I wouldn't be able to walk." Luo Yushu drank the soup, smiled and answered her words, and added, "My legs will feel a little weak after standing for a long time. In the end, I secretly grabbed Ji Huai's clothes and asked him to take me away. I left him busy for a while and I didn't go. "
Cai Zhen: "Then let him go."
The two of them were asking and answering questions, talking and laughing, as natural as mother and daughter.
Luo's mother couldn't get in the conversation, and she wasn't too convinced. She said a few words stiffly, but she couldn't get into it. She felt uncomfortable all over. She got up and said she wanted to go back, hoping to attract Luo Yushu's attention, but the other party called Ji Huai and asked him to help. They hail a cab.
Luo Yushu stood up, walked the two of them to the door, and whispered: "Mom and Dad, give me a call when you get home."
There was nothing wrong with what she said, and there was concern in her words, but Luo's mother felt something was wrong. She didn't look like her biological mother and daughter at all, and she felt a little wronged.
It was cold outside at night. Ji Huai took off his coat, and Cai Zhen went to put it on Luo Yushu. She also said goodbye to Luo's mother: "Thank you for your hard work, please be careful on the road."
"Yeah." Mother Luo replied stiffly.
Luo Yushu looked at Cai Zhen again. Because there were steps on the roadside, she was worried that the other party wouldn't see her, so she stretched out her hand to hold her: "Mom, why don't you and Dad go back too? It's very late."
"It's okay, we'll stay with you for a while." Cai Zhen replied, pulling up her coat again.
in the car.
Luo's mother lowered her head and wiped her tears, and said in frustration: "What's the use of raising a daughter? Are you raising a daughter for someone else? We are nothing! How can we attend our daughter's wedding? We are just an outsider, a shameful outsider!"
Father Luo lowered his head and said nothing.
"She's just a white-eyed wolf. If she gets married, we won't get any benefits from raising her..."
"Stop talking." Luo's father looked up at her again, suppressed his emotions, and said in a hoarse voice: "If I wasn't trying to get benefits, how could things have turned out like this?"
"What good are you getting?" Luo's mother said, her confidence getting weaker and weaker, and she stopped crying.
They chose to hold the wedding banquet in an alley, thinking that it would be done carelessly so that the money from the family members could offset the banquet. The 20,000 yuan he asked for from Luo Yushu was not spent at all, he just wanted to earn more.
The hotel wedding banquet was all people invited by the Ji family. Without them, it would naturally not be their home venue.
Luo's father continued to hang his head and became confused: "Just for those few dollars, I don't know whether it's right or wrong. If someone treats her well, she will leave and never come back."
Luo's mother also felt sad and desolate.
Their focus is on their sons, but they do not want daughters, nor do they expect their wives to be good to them. In old age, their daughters still need to care about them.
In short, they love their sons, and their daughters must love them and give the family some subsidies from time to time.
The two of them didn't speak again all the way, and the atmosphere was heavy.
It was almost early in the morning when Ji Huai and Luo Yushu returned home.
After taking a shower, she clung to him like a sloth. He hugged her and walked forward, and the two fell on the bed.
She was white and delicate under the red sheets. Ji Huai couldn't help it. He lowered his head and kissed her again, pressing it against her forehead and wrapping his big hands around her waist.
"It smells like alcohol." She pretended to be disgusted.
He drank a lot, his face was still a little red, and he had been staring at her since the way back.
"No." He denied, kissing her again as he spoke, this time prying open her teeth and hooking her tongue. Luo Yushu was made weak all over. She put her hand on his chest and stretched out her hand to push him.
Unfortunately, her little strength was of no use in his eyes.
Ji Huai pressed down gently, but she couldn't move. Seeing that she couldn't push, he chuckled in her ear and slowly said, "Stop struggling, okay?"
"I don't!" she said harshly.
"Then I obey you?"
“…”
…
Ji Huai was very spineless. He acquiesced to her before she agreed. He hugged her and turned over. She was on top of him, wrapped around his waist, and got very close again.
His eyelashes were very long and his eyes were beautiful. Luo Yushu bumped into his eyes, stopped struggling and kept staring at him.
"What's wrong?" he asked with a smile.
"Thank you," she said softly.
Ji Huai: "Huh?"
"Thank you for meeting me, thank you for staying with me, thank you for loving me, and thank you for the wedding." She said slowly and sincerely with a smile.
"Isn't this mutual?"
"No." She shook her head, "My parents love Wujiwu, and they treat me well because they love you. You have brought me more than I have brought to you, and I have lived a life that I envy."
Sunshine, confidence, positivity, optimism from the inside out... be grateful for everything, and have light in your eyes.
Ji Huai put his big hand on the back of her head, hugged her into his arms again, and said to her warmly, "That's because you are worth it, you deserve the best."
Luo Yushu stayed silently in his arms.
"Are you sure you want to be so sensational on your wedding night?" He raised his eyebrows and said again.
She raised her head and offered her pink lips.
Luo Yushu changed jobs again after graduating from graduate school, this time specifically choosing a company close to home, while Ji Huai bought a car because it was far away from work.
Cai Zhen has been working as a confinement nanny for many years and has a good income, but it is difficult to take care of a newborn. It is really energy-consuming and she has to stay up late. Ji Huai was afraid that she would get seriously ill like in her previous life, so she was not allowed to continue working. Even Ji Jianhui was not allowed to do hard labor anymore.
The two were still arguing, and Ji Huai said bluntly: "The family has just moved into a new house and life has just improved. Your task now is not to make money, but to take care of yourself."
Years of hard work have left them with constant ailments, but they just endured it and deserved a good rest.
Ji Huai couldn't stand it, so Luo Yushu had to persuade him in the end. However, the two of them are used to busy lives. They may not adapt to it when they have some free time, and they are also afraid of new problems.
They are used to being old scalpers and feel they have no value even if they don’t work.
Cai Zhen was enthusiastic and had good interpersonal skills. Ji Huai thought about it again and again and proposed that she open a dairy shop downstairs in the community. He heard that for a franchise fee of only tens of thousands of yuan, she could join the famous local fresh milk brand. At that time, milk cards can be issued to people in the community and delivered to their homes every day, and some snacks can also be sold.
I have free working hours and can go home and cook.
Ji Jianhui can't do business. He likes to read books and newspapers. Ji Huai also found a job for him. He went to the bookstore next to the elderly center to sell books and newspapers for others. He worked half a day and had free working hours. , can keep reading.
I buy groceries after get off work and go home, occasionally checking in with Cai Zhen and delivering milk.
Ji Huai didn't expect that Cai Zhen would run the dairy in a great way. Residents would often bring their children to play here, and fresh milk and snacks would become a hot seller.
Because it is fresh milk, the shelf life is very short. There are many residents who have ordered milk cards. Hundreds of bottles have to be delivered every day, and the number is still increasing.
Ji Huai and Luo Yushu concentrated on their work and kept their home in order.
However, newlyweds always have some quarrels during their getting-together period, and the two of them are no exception. The accumulation of small conflicts leads to big conflicts, and quarrels ensue.
Because Cai Zhen and Cai Zhen were there, Luo Yushu didn't have an attack, but Ji Huai got into a fight with her first, and the conflict between the two was about to break out.
Cai Zhen was clearing away the dishes, and Ji Jianhui was watching TV. When she saw the two of them arguing, Cai Zhen was anxious on the spot, patting her thighs and sneaking to the room: "Stop arguing!"
Ji Jianhui also quickly got up and hid in the room, running as fast as he could.
Seeing this scene, Ji Huai suppressed his laughter.
"Why are you laughing?" Luo Yushu scolded him and shouted into the room, "Mom, you see he wants to bully me. He has been showing off his face since the day before yesterday."
Cai Zhen didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing, but she still comforted her through the door.
The more she comforted her, Luo Yushu felt that she was wronged and was being justified. Ji Huai also asked her to take a break quickly, but his tone was not so good. As she spoke, she suddenly choked up and cried: "He is still bullying me. !”
Cai Zhen walked out bravely, barely driving Ji Huai out.
In the battle between husband and wife, they all supported the daughter-in-law and successfully prevented the war.
Ji Huai has been the treasure of his parents since he was a child. He was so angry that he went back to his room on the spot. When he went to bed at night, he was completely wrapped in quilts, leaving no room for Luo Yushu.
Where is Luo Yushu doing? She was very arrogant now. She stood up and grabbed the quilt from him. Her hands were very strong. If she couldn't grab it, she straddled him.
"Go down." Ji Huai's face darkened.
The two were still quarreling.
"I don't." She glared.
Ji Huai moved: "Get down!"
She shook violently twice, leaned over and grabbed his clothes, and said in panic: "I tell you, if I fall pregnant, you are responsible for it."
They were preparing for pregnancy recently and did not take any protective measures.
Hearing this, Ji Huai stopped immediately, but still kept a straight face and did not look at her.
Luo Yushu sat on him and started to grab the quilt. Ji Huai pulled the quilt, but he didn't dare to use force and just wouldn't give it to her.
"I won't cover you anymore." She got up from him without a pillow, walked to the sofa and slept alone, "You can cover it alone, isn't it just a cold? I don't care."
As soon as she left, Ji Huai was still confused. He thought she would sleep on the bed at most, and then he was so angry that he didn't cover himself with a quilt. Unexpectedly, he curled up on the sofa and fell asleep.
The weather was already getting cold, and he struggled in his eyes. After two minutes, he spoke: "Come up."
Luo Yushu didn't respond.
"Can't you come up? If you don't come up, don't come up." He also deliberately lowered his voice to threaten her.
She still didn't respond.
Ji Huai waited for another two minutes, stood up and stretched his neck over there, finally got out of bed and walked towards her.
Luo Yushu closed her eyes and remained motionless.
"Pretending to sleep, right?" Ji Huai said to her.
Someone's eyelashes trembled slightly, but he didn't say anything.
He accepted his fate, leaned over and picked her up, walked to the bed, placed her gently on the bed, and covered her with half of the quilt. After thinking about it, he hugged her from behind.
The warm breath hit her, their chests were touching their backs, and his hands were on her slim waist. Luo Yushu still didn't open her eyes, but the corners of her mouth kept turning up.
The next day.
Something happened to the Luo family again, and Luo Yushu rushed back after work.
The reason was that Zhang Li and Luo Hong obtained the certificate in private. She also agreed that she would accept a gift of 50,000 yuan, renovate the upstairs, hold a wedding and have children first, and then buy a house when she has money.
As a result, the Zhang family found out and became furious and discussed the pros and cons with her, but she was unwilling. She felt that she was getting a bad marriage and didn't want to be poor. The Zhang family wants a down payment and a bride price of 300,000 yuan, otherwise the divorce will be aborted.
The two of them were like two children, playing house now and then. Luo Hong didn't grow up either, and gradually became impatient. One moment he turned to the Zhang family, and the next he fell to the Luo family.
Roland is even worse. The Luo family won't give her money? Where could she get it? Recently, he has disappeared without a trace, taking all the cash from the small restaurant and disappearing without a trace.
Luo's mother had a lot of gray hair and said with a sad face: "How can the family have money? Not to mention the money to buy a house, there is no gift of 300,000 yuan. I bought her so many clothes and gold jewelry. I promised her well, and now I regretted it!”
As she spoke, she scolded Zhang Li and the Zhang family, talked about her own suffering, and then looked at Luo Yushu, waiting for her to take the initiative to give money.
Luo Yushu only said: "I have no money. We bought a car last month and it took a year to pay it off, so every month we paid off the car loan. My mother also opened a store, and I spent a lot on franchise fees and purchases. Money, no money. Besides, it’s not enough at all, it’s hundreds of thousands.”
"Your house is still fully paid." Luo's mother said and cried again, "Your brother doesn't have a house to get married, and Zhang Li has a child. What should we do?"
Can I get a loan for a house? I can get a loan of one million, right
Luo Yushu's face was expressionless: "That was saved by Ji Huai's parents and himself. It has nothing to do with me. Luo Hong didn't save it himself, you didn't save it for him, his girlfriend is not strong enough, he does things without brains and responsibility, doesn't he deserve it?" Why should I help him clean up?"
"You are so cruel..."
"Don't say Ji Huai doesn't agree, I don't agree either." Luo Yushu glanced at Luo's father and Luo Hong, and continued, "Don't even think about making trouble with Ji's family. If Ji Huai doesn't get a divorce, I will first Divorce, what's the trouble? Let them live a peaceful life, I'll come back and waste time with you."
Her words directly blocked Luo Mu's unspoken words.
She knew Luo Yushu's temper very well, and she could really do such a thing. She originally thought that the Ji family would be easy to talk to, but she would get some money by selling them, but now it's in vain.
Luo's mother saw that Luo's father's expression was a little off, so she changed the topic and said, "I don't want to disturb your family."
Roland is already in a mess. If this daughter gets divorced again, what will others think? What do the Zhang family think? Who would dare to marry into such a family
Luo Yushu didn't answer her words.
Luo's mother added: "The business at home is not good, and the house cannot be rented out. I originally thought about renting the apartment you live in, but in the end, I didn't rent it either."
"How much did you rent for?" Luo Yushu frowned.
"One thousand and three." Mother Luo said matter-of-factly, "It was eight hundred and five hundred before, and it was renovated, so why should we still rent it for eight hundred and five? Isn't that a loss?"
"If you can rent it, rent it as soon as possible. Wouldn't you lose more money by leaving it alone?" Luo Yushu was speechless.
This place is remote, the house is old, and it's damp, so it's difficult to rent. That room is girl-style. For the sake of safety, girls who rent houses do not come to these alleys. With more and more people building buildings nearby, the houses will become increasingly unrentable.
You can definitely rent it out for eight hundred and five, and also for nine hundred, but one thousand and three is too high.
Luo's mother raised her voice and said plausibly: "You only lose money if you rent it out! Decoration is not money?"
Luo Yushu: "Did you decorate it? It's not your money."
Hearing this, Mother Luo's expression suddenly changed and she immediately said: "What are you talking about? I have worked hard to prepare..."
Ji Huai clearly said not to tell anyone, how did she know
Luo Yushu looked at her, her expression unchanged: "Except for Ji Huai, no one would bother so much for me, and you are reluctant to spend all this money on me. I can guess it."
Luo's mother and Luo's father's eyes flashed slightly, and they looked away. Luo's mother still said: "I won't rent, I will lose money if I rent it out, at least one thousand and two thousand!"
Luo Yushu didn't argue with her. This matter had nothing to do with her.
The family did not discuss the reason until the end, and Luo Yushu ignored it at all. When it was time for dinner, they were ready to eat casually.
Just as they started eating, Ji Huai's call came. He was coming to take Luo Yushu home.
"Come here, the time should be just right." She thought that the anger of the quarrel had not passed, but this man still cared about her, and would always want to pick her up as long as she came back.
After hanging up the phone, she continued to eat. Not long after the meal, Ji Huai came. He came in and chatted with Luo's father for a while, and the two of them prepared to go back.
Since getting married, Luo Yushu has never stayed at home overnight, let alone staying overnight. She comes in the morning and leaves in the afternoon. Sometimes she doesn't even eat. Cai Zhen will call and wait for her to go back for a meal or leave a meal.
This time, Luo's father wanted her to stay longer and took out fruits from the kitchen, but in the end he didn't keep anyone, and his expression became ugly. As soon as Luo Yushu left, he went upstairs by himself, ignoring the others.
Luo's mother finally had no choice but to sell the floor where they lived to raise the down payment for Luo Hong.
However, the house was an old one, could not get a real estate certificate, and had various problems. It was sold for only a few hundred thousand, so I used all my belongings to pay Luo Hong a small two-bedroom house, and the monthly loan repayment was just It’s a lot of money, but you have to bite the bullet and buy it.
The money for the bride price was gone, and they couldn't even get it out of the blood sale. At the end of the delay, the Zhang family relaxed, and the wedding was ruined again. Luo's mother sold all the gold jewelry Luo Yushu bought for her. He also bought gold jewelry for Zhang Li to show his face.
Zhang Li felt it was embarrassing to hold a wedding in an alley, so she went to a hotel to hold it. Big hotels couldn't afford it, so she had to go to a small hotel. For this matter, the Zhang family kept quarreling with them, and the wedding was spent in quarrels.
Their pockets were cleaner than their faces. One year after the tenants had received their rent, the money was reduced so that they could pay it first.
After the wedding, their hair became a lot whiter. They thought the hard days were over, but they didn't expect the hard days had just begun.
Naturally, they wanted to live in their son's new house, which was beautiful and beautiful. However, they were kicked out by their daughter-in-law just a few days after they moved in. They didn't want to let them live there, so they started quarreling and called them useless old immortals.
