Stopped for three days, it was not that I was lazy (although I did want to be lazy~), but only because I went back to Neihuang to participate in a wedding - my good classmate good friend good brother good brother Xiao Peng finally married my good classmate good friend cute and loving Xiao Han classmate!
Storm Cry ~ 2008 ~ 2021, 13 years of love run has finally come to fruition. Ah, who said that love in the student days could not go to the end? What a piece of nonsense!
I'm so happy! In the past, attending a wedding was just a routine, and even the bride and groom could not see the face, that is, in the past, they would eat a meal with their share and pat their butts and leave.
But this time it was different!!!
Xiao Peng and Xiao Han's wedding is going to the scene no matter what! If I don't go, I think I will regret it for the rest of my life! So even if I am thousands of miles away, even if there is a big thing even XXXX, I will go! Fortunately, I was not in Kunming, nor was I in the ghost gate, so I lived in Xinxiang safely and steadily, and it was no big deal not to work, and I said that I would go.
On the evening of September 7th, Xiaopeng called me to inform me about this matter, saying that the wedding time was set for September 28th, and I said that there was no problem, and I must be there.
Then I took a bus to Xinxiang Station on the afternoon of September 27th, and I specially chose a faster train starting with Z, but I never expected it! It turned out to be — late! dot! Yikes!
At first, the display showed a 25-minute delay, and I said let's wait 25 minutes! As a result, 25 minutes have passed, and the display screen directly shows "late"! Nima, is it okay to play people like this?
I got up from my seat in a hurry and muttered outside. I thought about whether to wait or change my ticket or take the bus. Waiting for a long time, there is still a possibility of late changes, only the car is the most secure. So I went back to the ticket hall to refund the train ticket and hurried to the bus station.
Xinxiang Bus Center Station is next to the train station, I ran over to buy a ticket to Neihuang, the time is still two hours, there is no meal at noon, and my stomach is grumbling with hunger. So I ran to a small shop in the Plains Mall called Yulai Fish Love You and ate a piece of sauerkraut fish. When I first brought it up, I thought the portion size was really large, so affordable, and when I ate it, I found that the fish were on the top, and there were a lot of bean sprouts and sauerkraut below.
After eating, I walked back, and when I got back to the bus station, it was about four o'clock, and the car was still half an hour away. So I sat in the hall and waited for half an hour. When I got into the car at half past four, I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, no matter what, I could rush to Neihuang tonight.
In the car, I sent a WeChat to Xiaopeng, he asked me if I arrived, and I said it was going to be eight o'clock in the evening. He said it was okay, just go directly to the hotel and book a room.
In the past, when I went to college in Xinxiang, I always took a train from Anyang, and I only remember once taking a car from Neihuang to Xinxiang. The reason why I often take the train is that the price is relatively cheap, and the second is that the time is short. But taking the car can be a sin, not to mention the long time, it is expensive.
Cars were racing on the road, and it was starting to rain outside. I thought to myself, don't rain anymore when it rains, I won't be able to ride the pine cone tram to the hotel.
All the way without words, I slept in the car, turned left and right, and finally arrived at the Old Station in Neihuang.
After getting off the bus, the rain had been much lessened.
I sent a WeChat message to Xiaopeng saying that I had arrived and planned to ride the shared tram over.
He said, then you go first, don't eat, go to the hotel and report my name, open a room to put things first, and take a break.
On the side of the road, I swept a pinecone tram, opened the Baidu map, and drove away with a smoke!
Wow hahahahaha, once again in the inner yellow this small city galloping, night, neon, lights, light rain, slightly cool, I rode the car galloping, simply cool! It's as if I'm back in the carefree twelve or thirteen years old with no inhibitions! At this moment, I am the brightest boy in the world! Full belly full of pride full of blood full of blood full of belly of young full of arrogance!
My friends and I are very young, and we walk on those rainy nights with umbrellas, enjoying the future, youth and dreams! We laughed loudly, cried loudly, and ran loudly and noisily through the streets of the small city of Neihuang!
13 years have passed, friends, I love you, I love you, so deeply loved!
Every time I come back here, it's like a swimming fish returning to my hometown, here is my youth, there are my dreams, and importantly, there are my friends. With you there, I won't be alone, and I won't feel cold even on a rainy night.
Brothers, friends, students, let's gather again!
The outside world is so cruel and so huge, so full of temptations, so helpless and so struggling, but when you come here, let go of all your exhaustion! No one will laugh at your fragility and ridicule your naivety and naivety, there are no enemies here, no scheming colleagues, no difficult leadership bosses, no endless work, no endless classes!
Friends, there is nothing here, only your friends, only your young and brittle as thin wings of the past, they are shining, waiting for your return!
If it weren't for Xiao Peng, I wouldn't have come back here; if it wasn't for Xiao Peng, I wouldn't have seen so many deceased people!
In any case, thank you Xiaopeng for taking care of me over the years.
We met as classmates and later became friends, but over the years, you, like a brother and a teacher, taught me a lot of things, although probably I didn't learn most of them. But with your company all these years, I've reduced too much cold and loneliness. I was a lonely child, unlikable, without too many friends, and sometimes felt that only you were broad-minded and broad-minded, and could tolerate all my loneliness and weirdness.
I've thought more than once that if one day I die, my will must be left to you. I had some diaries and photographs, as well as some loose paper and electronic documents, which were stored on the bottom floor of my bookcase and in my computer and network drive. Leave it to you to make a thought.
Harm, needless to say, today is your big day. Let's go back to the story.
Riding a motorcycle as if riding a war horse, I held aloft my saber and ran to the battlefield of the Ten Thousand Armies. Fifteen minutes later, I arrived at the Champs Elysees (Nei Huang flagship store).
Call Xiao Peng and say what's the matter, I'm in?
He said, go in and go first, I'll be there in a minute, let's go to dinner!
Yo, you groom official, the night before the wedding did not have a good rest, this is more than nine o'clock, and then delayed to ten o'clock, there is still time to eat?
I entered the hotel and opened a room at the front desk to the third floor 307.
Good guys, what a blessing to Tor Xiaopeng, this is the best hotel I have ever stayed in in my life.
The floor is covered with soft carpets, and the bedside is also intimately placed durex - ah, isn't it possible that high-end hotels will have this kind of service? I picked up the box and looked at it, and put it back in. Turn left and right in the house and admire the golden splendor of the place. Not long after, Xiao Peng called me to go down.
When I got to the door, I glanced at it, and there was no one there? What about this man? Where did the people go? Send WeChat, the original car is parked not far away, people are in the car.
I got into the back seat of the car, it was already full, three people, don't know, I want to come to Xiao peng's family friends.
Xiaopeng called in the driver's seat and arranged for the hotel.
In the conversation I knew that today was a big picture, fifteen or sixteen people. Hey, I thought I couldn't see him before I came, it seems that this is still ready to call friends to get drunk?
Driving, I turned a corner and came to the green mountain paste fish, I and three other friends went upstairs first, and he went to pick up the other people.
We came to the private room on the third floor, I don't know the other three people, and I don't know much about talking, which is a little embarrassing. They were chatting and smoking cigarettes, and I sat on the couch and looked at my phone in a daze.
It didn't take long, hey, acquaintances came. The door pushed open, yo, this is not a "Tibetan mastiff" classmate well, white rich state, it seems that in recent years the small days have been good, the last time I saw him was during the Spring Festival in 2018. In the blink of an eye, three years have passed.
I thought of Jiangnan and said that the past is another three years, and life is like a tide.
I stood up and greeted the "Tibetan Mastiff" classmate, who asked me what I was doing now? Ah, what an embarrassment. I, as an unemployed vagabond, really don't know how to open my mouth, so I say that I haven't done anything, idle. He didn't ask any more.
The second acquaintance who came was Classmate Zhang, yo, Classmate Zhang is still very white, but he is rich, and it seems that his little life is also good. Zhang asked me, what are you doing now? Oh yes, you didn't get into graduate school.
Ah, my heart aches, why do you all ask me what I'm doing, I haven't done anything.
(Later, this kind of conversation happened several times, but it was enough for me to endure, it seems that this person still has to have a serious job, otherwise the old friends will meet, and the dialogue will not be right.) )
I whispered to Mr. Zhang that I had been admitted, but I didn't want to go to school later, so I dropped out.
Classmate Zhang, like the "Tibetan Mastiff Classmate", did not continue to ask questions, but just replied that he knew what he wanted. Well, it's still so sweet and warm for a man.
Slowly, more people increased, Xiao Peng also returned, everyone sat down, and a large round table was full.
ay? I fixed my eyes on another female classmate, who I didn't know who it was. But later the chat opened, only to find out, yo, is also an old classmate, Xiaoyan classmate.
Who in the class had the best English that year, then in addition to the small research students, we can count it! Haha, just kidding ~ Hey, Xiaoyan classmates next to this is also an acquaintance, are classmates, this is not Xiaowei classmates. You two... Is this together? Harm, you see, this life encounter, ah, is really unfathomable!
During the banquet, I asked Xiao Peng if he would still be home tonight? He said, go back, but you won't go back, stay in the hotel. I asked again, Xiao Han is at home now? He said she was at home now.
There were so many people that he had to take care of the big picture, so we didn't say much.
After eating, back at the hotel, I stayed with another friend.
Before leaving, I asked Xiaopeng, tomorrow we will go directly to the hotel? Or...
He said, go to my house tomorrow, and then go pick up the bride.
I always thought I didn't have to go to his house, but I was happy to hear that, and I thought I didn't have to go to your house?
He said, go and go, tomorrow at half past six, take the car.
A night without words, this way of running, another meal to eat, but I was exhausted. Back in the room, after a few words of greeting with another friend and without saying much, we lay down and went to sleep.
The next morning I got up and went to the first floor of the hotel to wait for others. It was raining outside and there were few pedestrian vehicles. Xiao Peng called and asked if he had risen. I said, waiting for someone.
Classmate Zhang did not stay in the hotel yesterday, his home is close, so he went home to live. After he came, he went upstairs to wake up the others, and everyone took a car to Xiao Peng's house.
After arriving at Xiao Peng's house, the rain had already rained heavily, and after the car was parked, I got out of the car with an umbrella and entered his house. I've been here twice before, once after junior high school and once after high school, and nothing has changed much at home. A red flag hung at the gate and the crowd gathered.
I walked through the corridor and saw that Xiaopeng had already put on his Chinese dress and was hurrying to change his clothes with his groomsmen. Seeing me coming, he stroked my arm and said hello. He was on the phone, busy and busy.
I had nothing to do with the other guests, just staying in the courtyard or under the corridor, walking around. During the period, someone sent me a red flower hanging on my chest with the words "Welcome" on it. Four wrapped red envelopes were also distributed.
I looked at Xiao Peng and asked who was this red envelope for? He said, take it, and someone will ask you for it at the bride's house. Then, I put the red envelope in my pocket in a vacuum. During this time, he handed me a blazer and asked me to hold it. I took the suit all the way from home to the bride's house, and then from the bride's house, and finally to the hotel.
At the kitchen door, he reached out and beckoned me to go over for breakfast, and I was wondering if I would like to eat or not? Later, I thought I would eat some food, but fortunately I ate it, because the wedding process continued until about one o'clock before the banquet was completed. While eating, I asked him when he was leaving. He said he was waiting for the car, and the car did not come, and he left when the convoy was assembled.
Then I was idle again, during which I met Sister Guo, who had worked together in January 2019, and came forward to say hello.
Ah, the convoy finally arrived, and after getting together with many guests to shoot a departure video, we finally set off for the bride's house.
When the car drove, I found out, am I in the wrong car? How do I sit with four groomsmen? Is this the groomsman's car? The groomsmen are "Tibetan Mastiff" classmates, Zhang classmates, Xiaowei classmates and a colleague of Xiao Peng, Xiaowei classmates drive, I and "Tibetan Mastiff" and Zhang classmates sit in the back seat, hey, but it is difficult to die for me.
They were chatting together, and I didn't know how to interject, so I was basically silent. The car was driving with insufficient tires, so the middle coordinated to change the car once. The four groomsmen changed to another car and left first, don't delay marrying.
I was too crowded to change the car, so I drove slowly with another friend to find a repair shop.
This friend actually has a relationship, has many faces, and is considered a high school alumnus. At that time, I went to play with Xiao Peng, and I could often see him and eat in the canteen a few times together. Apparently, though, he didn't remember me anymore.
In the middle, he inflated at a car repair shop and hurried to the bride's house.
As soon as he got out of the car, he pedaled upstairs, and it seemed that the groomsman had already entered the house. There were too many people, surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside. I'm short and can't see anything. But fortunately, after a while, there were fewer people, so I took the opportunity to squeeze in, took a few videos, a few blurry photos, and it was a souvenir.
Xiao Han's classmates did not change much, sitting on the bed in big red clothes, the bridesmaids were playing games with the groomsmen, and she laughed.
Oh, I felt a chill in my heart, and I felt a lot of emotions. To say that when I was still at the same table with Xiao Han, she and Xiao Peng gradually developed feelings and slowly came together, and the relationship between the two of them had a lot of hardships in junior high school.
Later, when we went to high school and college, we separated, no longer spent time together, and did not know much about the development of their relationship later, but now we finally came together. They are all acquaintances, and they feel inexplicably happy in their hearts. It's as if people are happy to see their friends marrying each other, which means that the fat water does not flow to the outsiders' fields.
The game continued, I came downstairs, Sister Guo came over and asked me a few words.
The bride and groom came down, and everyone took the bus back to the groom's house.
I sat with four groomsmen again. Hey, I just recognize the car, and I take this car in the morning, so I come and go in this car. This car seems to be the best man Xiaowei's. I wanted to change a car without squeezing, and after A look, I didn't change it after all.
"Tibetan mastiff," the classmate said, come up, come up, let's go together. So I went back with four groomsmen.
During the period, Xiao Peng called and told me not to forget the suit, and I told him to rest assured and hold it.
On the way back, it was much easier, the "Tibetan Mastiff" classmate sat on my left hand side, and occasionally we would talk for two words, although we didn't say too much. In fact, it is also related to my heart, I always feel that people are now in a successful career and have a happy love, they have not achieved anything, from a psychological point of view, more or less will have pressure, the heart is dull, naturally do not want to talk more.
After picking up the bride and groom's house, take pictures and take family portraits... After a series of ceremonies, you can finally go to the hotel for a banquet!
To the hotel, I still took Xiao Wei's car, but we first turned to Zhang Long Technical School to pick up Xiao Yan's classmates.
There was no word along the way, during which Xiaopeng called me and Xiaowei respectively to ask where we were, and it was at a traffic light, and the turn was there.
After stopping the car, I followed Xiao Wei to the hotel, ran upstairs and saw Xiao Peng at the door. I hurriedly handed him the suit, and he took it and hurried inside to change his clothes.
I paid the gift at the reception at the door, and walked into the banquet hall, good fellow, but it was brilliant enough to be foreign—the flickering of the lights, the catwalk, the castle, the flower basket, and the kind of arch-like decoration that I can't name... As many as it is.
I swept around the crowd, thinking where should I sit? Just see the groomsmen at the front table on the right side of the catwalk, so sit with the old classmates.
I walked over and saw Xiao Ann, I called out his name, went up and patted him on the shoulder. Xiao An smiled and said, Ah, I haven't seen him for a long time.
(It's 5:30 a.m., and since three o'clock in the morning, I've been coded for two and a half hours, and I'm exhausted, and it's five thousand words, and if I write in detail, it's estimated that I'll be able to hit seven thousand words, ah, but it's really the longest single article I've ever written.) )
Before the wedding ceremony began, our junior high school homeroom teacher came.
Good guy, Xiaopeng is really 666, and the marriage has invited the class teacher to come. It can be seen that Xiaopeng does not have the slightest fear of seeing the teacher, and the relationship with the teacher is so good that it is difficult for me to look back.
The "Tibetan Mastiff" classmates, Zhang classmates, Xiao Wei, Xiao Yan, and Xiao An all went up to say hello, and I hesitated, thinking that although I was not as good as those classmates in front of me, I was rich and powerful, had marriages and families, but... The class teacher came, everyone came forward to say hello, I don't go to reason how to say ah, can not be a shrunken head turtle.
My heart was crossed, and I still went up hard.
The music was loud, and I was worried that the teacher would not remember me, and I shook the hand of the class teacher and introduced myself loudly: Teacher, I AM XXX. The teacher smiled and responded.
Then everyone dispersed, and I got back into position.
The wedding ceremony started at 12:08, everything was going on as usual, under the auspices of the celebrant, everyone applauded, took pictures, interacted, I was fine, running around, one moment sitting in the position to watch, the next moment leaning forward to see...
During the ceremony, the class teacher looked at me twice, unexpectedly came over and sat down next to me, asked me what I was doing now, and I was immediately overwhelmed and did not want to disappoint the teacher, so I did not tell the truth as I did with other students. It's just that I want to take the exam for a career to be a civil servant, and I've been preparing for this recently. It's kind of a topic that has been lifted.
Then the class teacher asked me one by one about the "Tibetan Mastiff" students, Zhang students, Xiao Wei students, Xiao Yan students and other people, and asked them which city they were working in.
In fact, I don't know much about them, and the situation I know is limited to the small talk in these ten hours, but the teacher can't ask without answering, so I told the teacher the only information I knew, "Tibetan Mastiff" seems to be in Zhengzhou, Zhang is in Xuchang, Xiaowei Xiaoyan, the two of them are now together...
The rituals are going on and on... The bride and groom take the oath, the parents of both sides, the bridesmaids and bridesmaids...
At the end of the day, I began to take pictures, first family photos, brothers and sisters photos, then bridesmaids and groomsmen photos, then friends photos, classmates, teachers and students, etc.
In short, Xiaopeng Xiaohan's photos are particularly many, Xiaopeng not only invited the junior high school class teacher, even the high school class teacher also invited, a group of people went up and a group of people came down, I went up twice, and finally finished shooting.
Everyone sat in their seats and began to eat, originally the bride and groom were going to toast at the table, but there was not enough time, so they symbolically raised a glass together to congratulate the newlyweds on their wedding and early birth of takako.
······
Xiao Peng Xiaohan came to our table, at this time everyone had eaten almost the same, they also sat here for a little rest, Xiao Han sat next to the class teacher, everyone said things that were in the past and things now... I listened silently, ate...
Ah, now that I think about it, Xiao Han and I have been there from beginning to end, from the beginning to the end of the final departure, without saying a word alone, which is a pity.
(It's getting dark, and I'm wondering if I should go out for dinner and come back and write... )
Later, many guests began to leave the table one after another, and Xiao Peng and Xiao Han estimated that they were going out to send people away. Our teachers, students, and old classmates also packed up and got up and went outside. Before leaving, the class teacher asked me with concern, XX, have you eaten enough? I respectfully hurried back to say that I was full and full.
I dragged my way to the back, and Xiao Peng was indeed here outside the door.
I stood by the side, and after he had sent off a group of teachers and classmates, we finally seized the opportunity to say two words alone.
I stepped forward and he asked me, are you going straight back to Xinxiang?
I said let's go home first and get something.
He said, that line, you see how to go back, this banquet hall still needs to be packed.
I turned to leave, thought about it or took his hand and walked inside, whispering, I saw that the other students were directly in front of you to give you red envelopes, when I came in, I saw that there was a gift at the door, so I handed over the gift here.
At this moment, the table is next to us, I pointed to the man's sign, and explained to him, the old man seems to have written my name wrong, you remember to see, don't think I didn't pay, lost the number of etiquette, it seems that I don't understand things.
He smiled and said, "Okay, I know, it's all right."
I shook his hand again and said yes reluctantly, then it's okay, I'll go.
He said, well, slow down the road.
Then I turned and left and walked out of the hotel.
The rain was blowing down, I opened my umbrella, stepped into the rain, walked to the bus station not far away, my heart was full of mixed feelings, to be honest, this farewell, I really don't know when we will see each other. Although not far away, he is in Zhengzhou I am in Xinxiang, but, but ah yes... Alas...
Only because people are in the wind, fate is not up to you and me.
In the past, the most important thing I wanted to do in junior high school was to grow up quickly, because growing up meant freedom, and adults didn't have to go to school, they could do whatever they wanted, and they could see whoever they wanted.
Later, when I really grew up, I found that the number of times I met with my friends, the number of times I contacted, and the number of times I spoke, in a few years, was not even as many times as I had been in the same classroom for a week.
In the past, I always felt that time was very gentle, and it would sharpen us into a warm jade in one fell swoop, but now I find that time is actually a cruel knife, cutting our flesh and blood with one knife after another.
What can we leave behind in this life? Earned some money, spent some money, met some people, went through some things, and then there was no then. Maybe death is not blind, maybe it is a smile.
Whirling around, stagecoach in all directions, wearing stars and wearing the moon, what is lost? And what did you get? youth? dream? young? time?
Alas, it's not festive again...
It's time to end, it's now six thirty, and the birds outside the window are chirping. I want to wrap up for this article. However, at this point, I can't seem to write a brilliant ending.
I want to have a bright ending, after all, this is an article congratulating a friend on their wedding. Seven thousand words down, it is almost a foot in the door, but it can not be written.
So...
Yeah, life is cruel, for some people.
But, Xiao Peng, I am very fortunate to know you, and I have walked through a period of youth with you hand in hand- (this guy, how I write it like I am confessing, crying to death~) - In short, it means that -
Xiao Peng, happy newlywed! I believe you, marriage may be the grave of many people, but it will not be your and Xiao Han's.
Anyway, friends, come on!
(I'm going to breakfast~)
(I still think this ending is not well written, not at all bloody, too bland.) But after seven thousand words, this is also understandable ~ haha ~ )
