The divorce process went smoothly.
Jiang Wang always stood behind Du Wenjuan with his hands in his pockets, like a gentle shadow.
When Chang Hua came to the Civil Affairs Bureau, he refused to meet his eyes at all, and hurriedly signed the name with a livid face. With a bang of the seal, everything was officially over.
When he took the divorce certificate, he refused to even open it to take a look at the contents, and when he left, his back was panicked.
Jiang Wang was by Du Wenjuan's side, and when he watched Chang Hua leave, he suddenly thought again, people are always animal. Although there are rules of etiquette in modern society, many people always expose animal-like greed and forgetfulness when they have the opportunity. Just for a piece of meat in front of you, a bank card within reach, forget more things.
But once they face a stronger shock, they will quickly remember many truths and gradually become like a person. This is true for Jiahui, and even more so for Chang Hua.
Unlike Chang Hua, Du Wenjuan looked down at the divorce certificate, closed and opened it, and read every word carefully. The whole body is relaxed and completely relieved.
She stroked the three words on the divorce certificate with her finger, as if remembering something, she looked at Jiang Wangshi and said with a smile, "I hope this matter of mine doesn't affect you." People, but love and marriage are still very beautiful things," she laughed at herself: "But I don't have much convincingness when I say this."
Jiang Wang realized that she cared about him, and it took a few seconds before he said: "I'm getting married." Du Wenjuan looked at him with wide eyes, and reflexively confirmed: "Yes—""Yes." Jiang Wang smiled and said: " At that time, please come and drink our wedding wine."
"Really?!" Du Wenjuan said pleasantly, "Are you planning to do it in China? That's great, I will definitely give you a big red envelope!"
Ji Linqiu took Yinyin back, and the two groups took a brief break before discussing about moving.
Du Wenjuan is engaged in the accounting industry. Although she lives comfortably in her current unit, she prefers to take care of Xingwang at Yuhan.
"Our company is in urgent need of an old accountant like you," Jiang Wang said with a smile, "Of course, if you feel uncomfortable working here, I can also recommend you to my friend's company."
"Of course all of these are fine," Du Wenjuan said hastily, "I am already very happy to have such a smooth divorce and to raise Xing Xing in the past.
They didn't move anything in the end, they just packed Yinyin's clothes and toys, and bought a plane ticket to take them back together. Xingwang was taken to the airport by the little secretary, and when they met, he seemed to be still dreaming, and said in a daze, "Mom, are you really——going to live in Yuhan?"
"Mom has left Uncle Chang, and will only take care of you and Yinyin from now on." Du Wenjuan squatted down and hugged him tightly, "My good boy, Mom will always be by your side from now on to see you grow up, okay?"
Peng Xingwang didn't agree right away, he rubbed his eyes first, then looked at Jiang Wang and Ji Linqiu, and whispered, "I think smoke is coming from the top of my head."
"Is this... is this true?"
"I can't believe it! My mother will grow up with me for a long time?!" Everyone couldn't laugh or cry, and they took turns to hug him and kiss him. They really didn't know how to love him.
Although Jiang Wang had already bought seven or eight flats in Yuhan, Ji Linqiu's parents hadn't come over for a long time, and the house over there was also empty.
After careful consideration, he still bought the first floor of the next-door unit with a small yard, which is not too far away and within a few steps, so it is convenient for us to have dinner and take a walk together at night.
Although Du Wenjuan knew that his family was well-off, she still insisted on taking out the savings and paying the rent here in April. Fortunately, the new job has a good salary, and it won't take long to make up for it.
The night before Peng Xingwang packed his luggage and was about to move in with his mother, Jiang Wang and Ji Linqiu called him to the living room, and the three of them sat down and had a good chat.
The first thing to talk about is the problem of going out to live.
"Actually... if you have money, a person can have many houses, but whether he can have many homes depends on his character." Jiang Wang said plainly: "Your father's place, grandparents' place, mother's place, and brother's place This is your home."
"No matter where you live, Xing Xing, you must remember that we are always waiting behind you, and we are always willing to face life with you."
"Growing up may not be a happy thing, but Xing Xing, Teacher Ji and I still want to wish you a happy growing up." Ji Linqiu smiled and toasted, and clinked glasses with Xingwang. "Happy growing up."
Since the children lived with them, they have been treated equally like adults. Now when they hear such words, they nod in a sensible way, their eyes are a little red: "I still feel a little bit reluctant to part with you."
Jiang Wang smiled, and said again: "The second thing is that Teacher Ji and I are getting married." When he told his young self about this, he was calm and calm, and his heart was as peaceful as a snowfield.
Peng Xingwang nodded quickly, and quickly replied: "I heard it when I was eating on the third floor that day! Teacher Ji announced it very loudly!" Ji Linqiu blushed and said, "Teacher drank too much that day..." Jiang Wang couldn't help laughing. , was patted by Ji Linqiu: "Don't laugh!"
"Then do you have any questions about my brothers falling in love and getting married?" From the teacher's perspective, Ji Linqiu was still worried about the impact of their love affair on Peng Xingwang. She even kept thinking that even if she got married, she would have to wait until Xing Wang became an adult before telling him.
But before Ji's family made too much trouble, he got another bowl of sorghum wine on his head, and acted a little recklessly, but he still didn't hide it.
"... It was a bit strange at first," Peng Xingwang scratched his head and said, "I didn't expect my brother to like another brother, not my sister or aunt."
"But I'm very happy when I think that there won't be two sister-in-laws in my family! Just having an older brother is great!" Jiang Wang thought that this brain circuit was really my style, and lowered his head to take a sip of tea. After Ji Linqiu thought for a moment, he decided to explain this matter to Peng Xingwang bit by bit.
He talked to children about love between different sexual orientations, about the history, dangers, and current status of this kind of love.
Peng Xingwang was very surprised when he heard it, and drew inferences: "Then there are aunts who like aunts?!"
"Of course there will be, it's a natural feeling."
"But some places are more conservative, and people will deliberately hide it and dare not openly hold hands on the street."
Ji Linqiu paused for a moment, and said seriously: "No matter what, my brother hopes that no matter which boy or girl you like in the future, you can feel the joy of being in love with others, and have good causes and good fruits."
"On this point, the brothers fully respect your choice."
Peng Xingwang thought of something, his black eyes rolled, Qiqi Ai said: "Then-me, can I like Zhou Yinxin!" Jiang Wang didn't follow for a moment: "Who? Zhou what?"
"It's the little girl who asked him to learn the violin, the one who played the piano," Ji Linqiu said with a smile, "Of course you can like it, but remember to hide your thoughts, be polite, and don't make her feel offended."
"Of course!" Peng Xingwang was full of confidence: "She said that I have big eyes and a white face, and praised me for being cute!" Jiang Wang vaguely saw the signs, but didn't say anything further.
Children's friendship is always easy to be diluted and alienated because of going to school and moving, so don't deliberately think too much about the future.
After Peng Xingwang moved out, the house suddenly became much quieter, and there was no sound of children running around in slippers. But this loneliness was quickly diluted by the excitement on the eve of the wedding.
Ji Linqiu has an easy-going temperament, expressing that he is casual in both Chinese and Western styles, as long as he doesn't want to be too exaggerated.
Jiang Wang decided to hold a Chinese-style wedding at the end of his mind. He specially asked a designer friend who had participated in the Guochao Fashion Week to personally design the wedding dress
.
Ji Linqiu quietly stood aside and let himself be measured, while Jiang Wang gestured carefully beside him.
"If you want a red hijab, it's better to have some pearls on the hijab. Do you understand the temperament of a nobleman?" The designer is very patient: "I know, I will refer to it."
"And the robe should not be too complicated, so as not to be tangled together, but the back should be a little more elegant, so that it will have a sense of ceremony." "Okay, I understand."
"The waist can be thinner. I'm still very relieved of Teacher Ji's waist, and the decoration on the shoulders is unnecessary—" the designer smiled and threw Jiang Wang out.
"Still measuring, how about you go out and have a glass of champagne first?"
When the door slammed shut, Ji Linqiu burst out laughing.
The designer recorded the shoulder length and waist width, and was secretly surprised by such an excellent ratio.
Turning his head and saying: "We must give priority to the bride—no, your opinion, what kind of wedding dress do you want?" If you drink too much, the clothes are too complicated and you may not be able to unbutton them, you know what I mean?"
The designer immediately understood: "Understood."
The wedding was scheduled for August 24, which was also Ji Linqiu's birthday.
That day was sunny and bright, cicadas were singing constantly, and many swallows flew in the sky.
Many neighbors in the neighborhood looked out and saw the red sedan chairs on the street beating gongs and drums, and the cloud-white gardenia petals and the peach snow mountains—like scattered snow, falling all over the street and leaving a long-lasting fragrance, just like the return of spring.
The bridegroom welcomes him to the door of Ji's house, waiting for Ji's parents to help him out with his lover.
Many children also joined in the fun and came to watch. Listening to the loud music, they saw a thin and gorgeous tall figure stepping out. They were full of gold and jade, arrogant but not crazy, with a clear sense of nobility.
"It's so beautiful!!"
"There are gold beads on the red hijab, is that real?!!" "Ah, so dreamy!! Mom, come out and see!!"
He took his hand, and the two bowed to their parents and returned to the sedan chair together.
In the evening, all the guests came to the central hall of the courtyard to see the ceremony together. "Bow to heaven and earth!" He still clenched his hand tightly, refusing to let go.
Ji Linqiu made a slight movement, and finally indulged such petty capriciousness. The two of them knelt and kowtowed together, fingers intertwined in front of all their relatives and friends. "Second obeisance to the high hall!"
Ji's parents sat upright, smiling relievedly.
Du Wenjuan and Peng Jiahui stood on both sides, as Jiang Wang's living relatives also received a bow. They stared at the young lovers and whispered their best wishes for the young couple to live happily ever after and live happily ever after. "
"—husband and wife salute!"
Jiang Wangxin thought that perhaps he must let go of his hand at this time, but Ji Linqiu still held it tightly. They just took a sideways step to distance themselves, holding each other's hands and bowing.
Indescribably childish, but also seems to be deeply affectionate.
The person who sang the ceremony was very happy, and said with a smile: "The groom lifts his hijab!" Everyone cheered accordingly. "It's finally time to lift the hijab!!" "Ms. Ji is so beautiful today!!"
"Ming ming woo, I'm so touched that I'm actually at their wedding—" "Hijab! Hijab! I'll hand you a glass of wine!!"
There was preciousness in his eyes, and he held his breath and gently lifted the red hijab covered with gold and jade.
Ji Linqiu lowered his eyes, gold dust fell on his eyelashes, and a red flower on his forehead made his skin white and moist, making his lips look hundreds of times better than before. When the two looked at each other, they were stunned for a moment. Jiang Wang kissed directly.
The lipstick has a slightly sweet taste, or it may be that the heart is too happy, and everything tastes sweet.
Everyone was shocked.
"Brother Jiang, you don't speak the Basic Law!! But you did a great job!!" "You're married before you even drink a glass of wine!! You fouled!!"
"Ms. Fuck Fuck Fuck Ji looks so good today, I kiss you too!! It's not human if you don't kiss!!!"
The glasses of wine were served quickly, and they stared at each other's arms intertwined, and drank it in one gulp amidst the applause of the house.
This is probably the happiest day in this life. Even the hot wine is like flying flowers through the throat, which makes people feel that it is not enough.
The accompanying gifts of the banquet are all beautiful gift boxes tied with golden roses, and the food and wine are even more comparable to the first-class banquet, with all the delicacies that one expects to find. Jiang Wang greeted his relatives and friends to drink several cups, and at the table whispered a signal to Movie Star Wang, asking him to hang out with him when he was full.
When everything was in full swing, one big and one small slipped to the corner of the yard, swinging under the vines studded with twinkling stars. "Are you full?"
"I'm full! The durian crisps and quick sand buns are super delicious!"
"I don't want to eat more meat," Jiang Wang said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "It's good to be happy." "Brother called you here, because I want to ask you something."
Peng Xingwang held a quicksand bag in his hand, and raised his head when he heard the sound, "Ang? You can ask casually?" Jiang Wang paused for a few seconds, as if it took a lot of courage to say this. "Xing Xing, you have also watched your brother step by step to the present in the past few years." "If... I was your future appearance, would you be happy?"
Peng Xingwang blinked, put down the quicksand bag and said seriously: "I will be super-super happy!" "But brother, I think, I will also become a very powerful person!"
"Maybe, I won't be very like you in the future. I run very slowly, and I'm a bit stupid in doing business. But I will also use my own way to grow up splendidly. Brother Wang, will you be happy for me?"
Jiang Wang nodded vigorously, and leaned over to hug him tightly. "I love you so much."
Along the way, it seems that because I am learning to love you, I gradually understand how to love myself and everyone. You are no longer me now, but you are already the brightest little star in my world.
