Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 845 Marriage
Now, my mother had no words, and then pinched my father. My father almost stood up in pain and said, "That's not okay! You are all at work, and Xiaowai is alone for Zhang Ma to take. How can we Don't worry? How about this, let's go when Xiaowai can go to elementary school by himself!" Then it hurt a bit, and hurriedly changed his words: "We won't leave until Xiaowai goes to college and lives in school!"

Yaoyang suppressed a smile and said: "Dad, it's really unnecessary! I plan to send Xiaowai to a private school, and he can live in the primary school directly!"

Now the two of them had no good excuses, so they had to go back to their room in embarrassment.

We were lying at the door, and my dad complained: "You said, what kind of crooked idea did you come up with? What should we do now? If we really want to let us go, can we really go back to our hometown? Now my hometown has given me two houses. My brother has rented it out, and my sister has moved to Fuzhou. Where will I live when I go back? I can make an agreement with you. Don’t get used to it! Except for seafood, there is nothing, except for the field. I don’t want to grow sweet potatoes! I want to eat pearl rice, but there is no door! Also, to go to the county seat, you have to take a boat and then a car, and it takes 2 hours to go back and forth. There are frequent power outages at night, and the TV is all satellite TV, Taiwan TV used to be able to receive a few, but now I don’t know if it will work, if I want to watch "Country Love Story", I have to buy it, but I can’t receive Jilin, HLJ Satellite TV!"

My mother became anxious when she heard it: "I just like watching TV so much? It's not something you want to watch all day long! I moved here, so I'm sure I'm not used to it! But now we've spoken out, and the children have agreed. , what can we do? Why don't we find an excuse and not go back!"

My dad snorted and said, "How to find it? They blocked all our excuses! They don't need us to take care of them, and the child will be sent to school after a while!"

My mother sighed and said, "Are you saying that we are so unimportant? They don't even want to keep us? Why are children raised by themselves so unfilial?"

My dad snorted again and said, "Why aren't you filial? When I said on the rooftop that I was going to leave, didn't you see their expressions? I said it to death!"

This time it was my mother's turn to complain: "Why are you talking so hard? You've been like this all your life, so you can't be more flexible!"

My dad said very wrongly: "I'm not flexible enough? I have never lied in my life. I made an exception to let you see my son get married. I haven't been found out yet. I can't do it!"

Then, both fell silent.

Yaoyang said loudly to me outside: "Tell me, if our parents go back to our hometown, who will be your parents when you get married?"

I also said loudly: "Doesn't Shengnan still have a second brother? You can do it on my side, but you can still have Lao Feng!"

Yaoyang heaved a sigh and said: "It's not good when you say that, if you continue to torment the two elders, running around like this, the body can't take it anymore, there is no way out!"

The door was opened all of a sudden, and my mother rushed out and asked, "When are you going to get married? We don't have to wait!"

Yaoyang smiled and said, "I've got someone to figure out the date, the 22nd of next month, good luck!"

My mother grinned and said, "So fast? Why don't you say it earlier, you have to prepare well and get someone to write invitations? Your wedding dress hasn't been photographed yet, how can you get married! By the way, then this month Find a day, bring me the certificate first and then talk about it!"

My dad rubbed his hands excitedly and asked, "Is it really settled? Where's Katsuo? What did she say?"

Shengnan came from the living room and said, "Dad, it's settled! Really! Don't worry about you two, are you tired of acting?"

I hastily glared at Shengnan, and Shengnan quickly changed his words: "I'm asking if you are tired? Rest early if you are tired, and we will start busy with the wedding tomorrow!"

It’s been a long time since I saw the house being so lively. Every time I come home, either Yaoyang is not there, or my parents have already rested. Thinking back to the past, the whole family, coming in and out, was reported by people in the community, saying Our family must have gathered people to gamble, or do some ulterior business. People come and go, like a vegetable market.

Now it has become much deserted, Lao Feng seldom comes here, Liu Ziran and Liu Sheng have long since disappeared, Brother Zeng has gone overseas, Yun Manni and Annan have fallen out, sister Min is gone, old man Sun is gone, Xiaoxue , Xiaohao went to school, and sometimes went back to his home during the New Year and holidays. Even if the room was reserved for them, they seldom came back.They are all passers-by in this house. I am a person who likes to be lively. My family has always been a constant family since I was a child. My parents are extremely hospitable people. The neighbors get along very well. I haven’t seen it since the 80s. Our door was closed.

However, this long-lost scene reappeared.

When I woke up in the morning, there were people in the room, Lao Feng was sitting at the dining table and eating breakfast, A Liao was playing with Xiao Wai, Master Yin came in with a few big bags, and he didn’t say hello to anyone. Feng had breakfast together, and Zhang's mother brought out a big pot of porridge with a smile.

Looking at these people coming in and out, no one regards themselves as an outsider. Bao'er is still lying on the sofa.

My dad has already taken out the wolf hair brush that he hasn't used for many years, and he is checking the list of guests with Shengnan. My dad's petty lowercase writing is really good. This is also one of the three proud things in his life. He got drunk once, when he got married, one was his superb chess skills, and the latter we scoffed at.

I was a little dazed for a while, and felt that I was back to that era when we never had a trace of trouble or sadness.

Seeing that I got up, Lao Feng pointed at me with a deep-fried dough stick and said, "Student Fade Chen, I have to criticize you. You need to change your habit of not revealing these three points! I didn't see that everyone in the room was complaining about Are you busy with work? Can't you serve snacks by yourself?"

I cut my throat and said, "Aren't you human? Why didn't I see you busy with your work? Every time something happens, you are the first to rush out, then use your mouth to do things, and don't forget to eat!"

Old Feng was not angry, and said with a smile: "I belong to the reserve staff, and I obey the orders of the leaders! There must be an errand runner, right?"

We were talking, Master Yin had finished eating, wiped his mouth, and promised, "Come on, I'll go! How many packs? Okay, do you have the address?" I followed my gaze, and my mother wanted to Like a big leader, sitting on the side, directing.

Master Yin didn't even look at me and Lao Feng, and went to work by himself.

I walked over curiously and asked my mother, "What are you doing?"

My mother gave me a blank look and said, "I'm busy with your marriage, what else can I do?"

I groaned and said, "Isn't it scheduled for next month? Are you busy with work now?"

My mother was holding a small notebook, writing something, and said without raising her head: "Look how many days are left until the divorce date? Do you have to book a wedding venue? Do you have to find a float? Don't you have to notify some people in advance?" Are you there? And your wedding photos, I have to take them for me in a few days! Our relatives are far away. My side is in the northeast, and your father's is in Fujian. You don't have to give people time Have you arranged it? By the way, where is the key to your villa? Katsuo said she didn't know, so you find it for me quickly, I'll go over there to have a look, and I need someone to clean it!"

I asked suspiciously: "What are you doing cleaning over there? We are married and don't plan to move there. We bought it because we were worried that there would not be enough housing here. Now that there are not so many people, we don't want to go over there. The company is too far away, it's not convenient for Katsuo to go to work!"

My mother pursed her lips and said, "You know what, we can't welcome the bride, we can't just welcome the bride at home, right? The villa is Shengnan's natal family, understand?"

I pursed my lips and said, "Mom, why are you talking more and more like Yaoyang now, what about the gentleness you used to have?"

My mother snorted and said, "Your mother, I'm from the Northeast. How can I be so gentle? I just talk like this. If you want to listen, may I ask you for the key?"

I said oh, went back to the room and took out the key from the drawer, and caught a glimpse of a slightly yellowed photo in the drawer, in the photo there were four people crossing their shoulders, smiling brightly, there was me, there was Yaoyang, and there was Liu Sheng , and Liu Ziran.If Liu Ziran was here, would he still say something sour to me from time to time, saying that Shengnan should marry him, and he gave it to me with integrity.

I turned around and found that I couldn't help at all, so I planned to go to the company to have a look. The project in Dongguan just started to be transformed, and He Zijun's financial department also started to officially operate. The project I gave him didn't know how to complete it. How is it?

Just when I was about to go out, Bao'er stopped me and said, "You can't go anywhere today. My aunt gave me instructions. I will go with me to try on the dress in a while, and in the afternoon to choose the wedding dress and go to the scenic spots. You and I The male sister must go! My aunt also said, you and the male sister belong together, and I don’t like this kind of formalism, but after all, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime marriage event, so we must pay attention to it! I’m just in charge of supervising the two of you!”

I cut it and said: "What male sister, you have to be called Shimu, you know?"

Bao'er nodded and said, "You can call me anything! It's just that the male sister doesn't want to, because she's afraid she'll be called old!"

I asked Bao'er in a low voice: "Those three people who found out the Design Institute, did they come into contact with Dongfang?"

Bao'er shook his head and said: "No, they are very honest now, they are in the design institute every day, and they are probably discussing how to explain things to us? However, I found some new news, that Dean Jia gave his son The money for going to school was earned by him doing private work outside. Although it violated the regulations of their courtyard, he really earned the money with his ability! I think he didn’t report the knowledge at most, but he definitely didn’t take any money!”

I hummed and said: "Actually, I also have this kind of thought, and I don't think he looks like him. Anyone who finds such a stupid person to do things will be worried!"

I didn’t go to the company. I tried on the dress all morning. Seeing myself wearing a dress like a magician, I felt uncomfortable. Looking in the mirror, I always felt that I didn’t look like an emperor in a dragon robe, not even a prince. , is a waiter at a cocktail party.

However, when I saw Katsuo coming out in a snow-white wedding dress, I was immediately refreshed. She was like a fairy descending from the earth, saying that a woman is the most beautiful twice in her life, once when she is wearing a wedding dress, and once when she is a first-time mother look.I'm sure it's true, it's beautiful!

Holding Katsunan's veil skirt behind her, Bao'er said with emotion: "When I got married, if I was half as beautiful as the male sister, I would be satisfied!"

I cut it and said: "Half beautiful, that's already amazing, you can steal the fun!" After finishing speaking, I said affectionately to Katsuo: "Honey, you are so beautiful!"

Sheng Nan blushed slightly, and said, "You are handsome too!"

I looked at my magician attire, stood beside Katsuo, and said with a sigh: "Just look at this man, he is rich!"

Katsuo snorted and said with a smile: "This man, there is something!"

As soon as the owner of this bridal shop came out, I opened my mouth and said, "Why are you again? How much money do you make this year? Last time I got the VIPPPP card in VIP, is it still useful? "

The boss had a pigtail, a full beard, and said with a curled mouth: "It's useless! It's useless! Your VIP card has long been invalidated! If you don't come to our store for a few years, can I still give you a VIP card? "

I snorted and said to Katsuo, "This is a black shop, let's go!"

Katsuo looked at me puzzled and asked, "No way?"

The boss said kindly to Sheng Nan: "Sister, don't listen to him, I am a friend of Sister Shiyang, and my name is Shi Shi!" Then he extended his hand and shook hands with Sheng Nan warmly.

Katsuo was stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled and shook hands with Shi Shi.

I pursed my lips and said, "I've never seen a beautiful woman in my life, have I? There's nothing to be courteous about, rape or steal! Don't be familiar with Sheng Nan, this man is not authentic, and he has a wicked heart. With his ragged clothes, he can be ashamed as he pleases." Each piece costs tens of thousands of yuan, if you buy a wedding dress from him, we will have to eat instant noodles for a year after the wedding is over!"

Shi Shi smiled and said: "I guess it won't work for a year! How can I drink the northwest wind for another two years! Sister, don't listen to him, you can choose whatever you want today, and if you choose a style, I will make it for you! If you don't like it It doesn't matter, I will design for you!"

I cut it and said: "You can pull it down! Just you? You have to have a Band-Aid for every patch? Did you split your hand?"

If Katsuo wasn't wearing a skirt, he would have come over and kicked me. He stared at me and said, "Can you talk?"

Shi Shi said with a smile: "He eats big arsenic, I'm used to it! It's okay, male sister, don't be angry, let's ignore him!" After speaking, he took Shengnan's hand and walked into the inner room inside.

Katsuo beckons Bao'er to go in together.

I said anxiously outside: "He is a big man, why do you study wedding dresses with you? Be careful when changing clothes, don't lose everything, you will suffer!"
