The groom, Wang Qiang, stood at the end of the red carpet, looking at the bride Li Fang who was walking slowly. She held a bouquet of flowers in her hand and trembled slightly, but her eyes were full of anticipation for the future and tears of happiness. The surrounding visitors stood up one after another, and the applause and blessings merged into a warm ocean. After preparing for so long, Wang Qiang finally married his sweetheart at this important moment.
The ornate decoration, warm lighting and melodious music in the hall create a fairytale wedding scene. Parents sit at the main table, their kind eyes sweeping over the newlyweds from time to time, full of expectations for their children's happy life in the future. Relatives and friends gathered together, discussing the bride price of the two families, and guessing the size of the number, but some people were more concerned about the joy of the two couples.
Wang Qiang noticed that although Li Fang was smiling, she secretly looked at the table with red envelopes several times, her brows furrowed slightly, as if she was preoccupied. "Wife, you are so beautiful!" Wang Qiang hugged Li Fang and whispered in her ear, trying to dispel her concerns. "Husband, our days have finally arrived!" Li Fang forced a smile and responded softly.
As the wine grew stronger, the guests began to toast, and Wang Qiang responded one by one from table to table, showing the enthusiasm and politeness of the host. And Li Fang, although there was a happy atmosphere around her, there was a trace of uneasiness in her heart from time to time.
The moment the two newlyweds exchanged rings on the stage, the audience burst into warm applause, the blessings were deafening, Wang Qiang and Li Fang looked at each other and smiled, and each other's clasped hands conveyed each other's commitment and trust. However, there was still a faint worry in Li Fang's smile.
As the guests get up and dance, music plays, and the bride is invited to take a group photo. At this time, Li Fang took advantage of everyone's inattention and quietly entered the box. Wang Qiang saw it, and a sense of foreboding suddenly surged in his heart. In the busy interval, Wang Qiang followed closely and found Li Fang standing quietly in front of those red envelopes, as if waiting for something. She didn't notice Wang Qiang's arrival.
This scene made Wang Qiang have to face up to the problem that has not yet been revealed, but cannot be ignored - the layer of paper about the bride price seems to tremble slightly at this moment. He took a step forward and gently took Li Fang's hand into his palm: "Wife, if there is anything, we can face it together." ”
Li Fang raised her head, her eyes were full of expectation and uneasiness, but they hid deep love: "I know, husband." ”
Among the relatives and friends of the Li family and the Wang family, the happiness of the bride and groom seems to have become the center of discussion. They talked softly around the two of them, paying attention to their every little movement and expression, trying to find a clue about their inner feelings.
As the wedding entered the bed bond, the atmosphere became more joyful. The groomsmen and bridesmaids surrounded the groom Wang Qiang and the bride Li Fang, joking and amusing the bride in an attempt to make the couple relax in this traditional game. The room was filled with laughter, friends were interested in words and actions one by one, and the bride and groom were surrounded by groups and immersed in the bubble of happiness woven by their friends.
But just when everyone was intoxicated with joy, Li Fang's smile gradually weakened and became solemn. Her gaze involuntarily drifted to the table full of red envelopes. The guests didn't notice this subtle change, but Wang Qiang did. He noticed Li Fang's strange appearance, muttering to himself, not knowing what happened to make her upset.
After the bed-holding session is over, the crowd slowly disperses, and the bride and groom should return to the guests to continue enjoying the wonderful moment. But Li Fang steadied his pace, secretly tugged Wang Qiang's sleeve, and motioned for him to follow. Wang Qiang nodded, and they quietly moved to the new house while no one was paying attention.
"Husband, come and help me see these." As soon as Li Fang entered the boudoir, she walked quickly to the red envelope pile and said in a low voice. She began to carefully count the red envelopes one by one, and gradually fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her eyebrows were full of eagerness and anxiety.
Wang Qiang looked at this scene in bewilderment. He originally thought that it was enough to enjoy happiness on the wedding day, but he never expected to meet Li Fang's worries about the bride price at this time. "Wife, what's going on? This is our great day, shouldn't we rejoice with all our hearts? Wang Qiang tried to inquire about Li Fang's thoughts.
After counting the last red envelopes, Li Fang took a deep breath and said with an almost protesting look: "The sum of these red envelopes seems to be different from what we expected. ”
"What? Not the same? Wang Qiang felt a burst of disbelief, and at the same time could not hide the bitterness in his heart. He was not only for the simple number of money, but also for the surprise and chagrin of this sudden shadow. "How is this possible, I've already checked it several times."
"I know that too, but..."Li Fang bit her lip, it seemed difficult to speak, but in the end she still told the truth: "How much is missing, what should we do?" ”
This development exceeded Wang Qiang's expectations, looking at Li Fang's anxious appearance, he didn't know what to do. The air in the room seemed to freeze, and both of them fell silent. This wedding, which was supposed to be full of joy and blessings, was instantly mixed with the haze of the unknown. Wang Qiang held Li Fang's hand tightly, it was time to face the problem and solve this sudden disturbance.
Holding the last red envelope tightly, Li Fang's movements stopped, she slowly raised her head, and her eyes met Wang Qiang. The once radiant eyes revealed a deep loneliness at the moment: "Strong, this is not the number we said. ”
Wang Qiang's heart sank. Even though he tried his best to stay calm, the grievances and incomprehension in his heart surged up like a tide: "Wife, why is your heart shrouded in the shadow of the bride price at our happiest moment?" ”
Li Fang looked at Wang Qiang, her eyes sparkled, and she replied softly: "I don't want to do this either, but this is the agreement between our two families, and I can't help but care." ”
"I know, but the bride price is never more important than our relationship." Wang Qiang swallowed the resentment in his heart, he didn't want Li Fang to see his vulnerability, but the resentment in his heart was difficult to calm. "Is our marriage going to be affected by this money?"
The emotions of the two are tense in the small boudoir, and they can explode at any time. Li Fang's heart was in turmoil, and Wang Qiang was angry. The quiet boudoir has become the center of their emotional storm at this moment, and the happy words and candy in the sky can't hide the displeasure in the hearts of the two.
"We can't just let this affect us." Wang Qiang tried to suppress his emotions, he didn't want Li Fang to feel a trace of disappointment at the wedding.
"I know, I don't want to do that either. But what if the two parents find out? Li Fang hesitated, her tone revealing helplessness.
Then, Wang Qiang took a deep breath, he knew that what was needed at this moment was not a dispute, but a solution to the problem, "Wife, we need to calm down now and think of a way together." ”
Li Fang nodded, and the two sat down in tacit understanding and began to discuss countermeasures. Wang Qiang knew in his heart that this might be the first test on the road to their marriage, but he also believed that there was a solution to any problem, as long as the two hearts were still together.
Outside the window, the cries of magpies are still coming and going, as if cheering for the couple. And in the boudoir, two young people who have just entered the palace of marriage are weaving their common future with communication and understanding.
The silence made the air seem to freeze, Wang Qiang and Li Fang were relatively speechless, and the tense atmosphere in the boudoir was like dew on the strings, which could slip down at any time. Wang Qiang took a deep breath, although his heart was full of doubts and unwillingness, he knew that what he needed at this moment was calmness and understanding. He whispered to Li Fang: "Wife, anxiety can't solve the problem, let's think of a way together." ”
Li Fang nodded slightly, a hint of gratitude on her face. The two sat down and began to slowly sort out their thoughts, discussing the sudden problem. The dissatisfaction in Wang Qiang's heart gradually receded, replaced by a determination to solve the problem together. Li Fang is also trying to overcome her nervousness, trying to tell Wang Qiang about her worries and expectations.
"I understand the pressure you are under," Wang Qiang shook Li Fang's hand, "We said that we will face all difficulties together." ”
"I know what the bride price means to my parents," Li Fang responded gently, feeling that the stone in her heart had finally landed, "but I cherish our relationship even more." ”
Time passed quietly in their sincere communication, and the two souls collided in honesty and converged to solve the problem. In the end, Wang Qiang proposed to compensate his parents for a certain difference as a temporary solution, while Li Fang took the initiative to take the responsibility of explaining to both parents. This plan is not the most perfect, but in the here and now, it is the result that they can accept together.
After this battle, the two realized that this delicate challenge had actually brought each other's hearts closer. They understand that mutual tolerance and trust are more valuable than any form of bride price. The coins and red envelopes beside him are no longer the focus, but instead the two hold hands and have the courage to face life together.
Although there are small twists and turns in the wedding, communication and understanding will eventually overcome all difficulties. Wang Qiang forgot his grievances, Li Fang released his anxiety, and the two smiled again, ready to return to the warm welcome of the guests with the best attitude.
The wind blew away the silence of the boudoir and brought a new breath. Wang Qiang and Li Fang stood side by side, walked out of the boudoir, walked to the wedding scene, and greeted the blessings of every family member and friend with their smiles.
