Tian Xin's home was on the third floor, and the corridor was filled with red ribbons and petals. When Fang Zheng arrived at the door, he saw that the door of Tian Xin's home was open. In the room, a couple was looking at Tian Xin with tears in their eyes. Looking at the appearance, Fang Zheng guessed that these might be Ding Mu's parents.
Sure enough, when the two elders saw Fang Zheng, they froze on the spot and then ran over. Then he hugged Fang Zheng, and then Fang Zheng heard the sound of wailing in his ears, crying so heartbreakingly that his clothes were wet with tears.
Fang Zheng didn't move, letting them hold him and cry. Tian Xin, who was not far away, smiled apologetically at him, and Fang Zheng gave him an "I understand" look in return.
When the second elder had cried enough, he let go and said sorry and thank you.
Fang Zheng continued to say, "You're welcome, it's okay, I express my condolences to you two."
As the drum music downstairs got louder and louder, everyone's attention began to shift, helping the bride make the final preparations, holding bouquets and umbrellas.
Tian Xin threw a set of clothes to Fang Zheng and said, "These are the best man's clothes. Quickly change into them."
Fang Zheng went to the back room and changed into a red groomsman suit. When he looked in the mirror, Fang Zheng was really intoxicated with himself and sighed: "This brother is quite handsome."
As soon as they came out, Tian Xin said to Fang Zheng: "You are the best man, not the bridesmaid. You can go down and escort the groom up. We are going to block the door."
Fang Zheng nodded and hurried downstairs.
When he arrived at the door, Fang Zheng was stunned. He saw that the wedding reception team at the door were all handsome men and beauties. The men were tall and handsome, and the women were also heroic. Especially the girl who played the drum, she was particularly energetic after the beating. !
But what really surprised Fang Zheng was that these people were not wearing traditional red clothes, but green military uniforms with red ribbons slung across their bodies... In other words, these were all soldiers! In other words, fire officers and soldiers!
The moment everyone saw Fang Zheng, the music paused, and everyone seemed to know about Ding Mu.
However, Fang Zheng's heart trembled, and he thought: "It turns out that Tian Xin is going to marry a fire fighter. This is too bad. The people who came to steal the bride are all his comrades. And his face, in their eyes, is absolutely... He is a public enemy and deserves a beating. No, you can beat me up first when no one is around... "
While Fang Zheng was thinking wildly, the others also came to their senses and pulled Fang Zheng aside one by one. Just as one of the girls was about to ask something, they were already urging people to go upstairs to pick them up.
A large group of people cheered and rushed forward. A group of strong young men rushed forward like a flood. Where could the girls blocking the door in the room be their opponents? He was rushed away at once.
Fang Zheng ran inside with the crowd and looked around. He was surprised to find that he didn't see the groom! At least none of the guys in front of me were wearing groom-like clothes.
Tian Xin was quickly welcomed out, got on the sedan chair, and then a large group of people beat gongs and drums and walked away.
Fang Zheng was a little confused. He was the best man. Logically speaking, shouldn't he be with the groom at all times? Why didn't you see the groom the whole time? Who is his best man accompanying
Following the large group, they quickly arrived at the hotel, and then Tian Xin stood at the door, followed by Fang Zheng and another groomsman to welcome the arrival of relatives and friends.
Fang Zheng finally couldn't help it anymore and asked, "Tian Xin, where is the groom?"
Tian Xin smiled slightly, glanced at a box next to him and said, "Isn't this over here?"
Fangzheng was startled, then looked down and saw two big characters carved on the box on the stool: "Ding Mu!"
Fang Zheng was stunned. Marrying ashes
Fang Zheng knows very well that modern society is not the old society of the past, where one person can marry multiple wives, or a matrilineal clan can find multiple men. Today's society is monogamous, and one more person is not enough! That's illegal!
Now that Tian Xin is marrying Ding Mu's ashes, it means marrying Ding Mu. If she marries again in the future, it will be a second marriage... This is actually a discount for her. The point is, this is tantamount to being a widow...
Tian Xin seemed to see Fang Zheng's worry and smiled: "Today is the day that Ding Mu and I agreed. I promised him that he would wait until today at the latest. If he does not achieve the goal we agreed on today, we will either break up or Get married. Of course, I have the final say in all this, so I decided to marry him."
Fang Zheng said: "Do your parents agree?"
Tian Xin said: "I didn't agree before, but now I agree. Ding Mu gave me a chance to live a new life. I just married him, not to die. There is nothing to disagree with."
Fang Zheng frowned and lowered his voice and asked, "Have you really not thought about death?"
Tian Xin was stunned and just about to answer, Fang Zheng said: "I can see a person's authenticity. Don't lie. Either don't tell or tell the truth."
Tian Xin lowered his head and said nothing.
Fang Zheng understood instantly that she really wanted to die...
Fang Zheng stopped talking, and the wedding continued. Tian Xin and Ding Mu's ashes were worshiped to heaven and earth, and to their parents. Finally, Tian Xin held Ding Mu's ashes and went to toast table by table. The atmosphere in the whole place was a bit lively, but there was something special and strange and cold about it. Everyone was laughing, but behind the smiles were feelings of distress and sympathy for this girl, and some emotions that were moved by the love between Tian Xin and Ding Mu.
The wedding ended quickly. When everyone dispersed, Tian Xin suddenly found Fang Zheng.
The two people walked out quietly without speaking, and sat on a long chair, still one person on each side, with the rescue dog lying in the middle.
It was Tian Xin who broke the silence again, took a deep breath and said, "I want to die."
Fang Zheng said nothing.
Tian Xin continued: "Ding Mu left, and my world was suddenly destroyed. The future I had been thinking about for many years suddenly became meaningless. But I still have parents, and I can't die so selfishly. "
Fang Zheng said: "So you chose to be a firefighter. Whatever happens, you rush to the front. You want to die in an accident instead of committing suicide, right?"
Tian Xin lowered her head and said, "I just want to die naturally and heroically, so they should be proud of me."
Fang Zheng shook his head and said: "Dead heroes are worth remembering. They are role models for us to learn from, but they do not teach you to die! On the contrary, they use actions to tell you that life is precious. Similarly, this world also needs living heroes. . Think about yourself and Ding Mu. You think you are miserable enough, but how many people in this world are likely to face the same misery? Ding Mu didn’t save you just to let you die. , but to let you live. As you said before, he is watching you in heaven. You can make others think that you died heroically and naturally. But he will see the truth and wait for you to go. How should we explain meeting him in heaven?"
