under the foggy mountain

Chapter 56

The next day, He Xuxia woke up and saw Tang Qinglian, so she got up quickly.When she came to the kitchen, she saw Tao Lanying cooking and Tang Debiao sitting in front of the kitchen to light the fire.He Xuxia greeted the two of them and asked, "Fourth Aunt De, where is Qingqing?"

Tao Lanying said, "We should go to Jiangshi."

He Xuxia came out, feeling very cold. When she saw it, the sky had cleared up. There was no cloud on the blue sky. The foggy mountains and blue daisy looked clear and clear. There was steam-like fog on the Qingjiang River, like Floating a white ribbon all the way to the east.

She looked towards Jiangshi, and sure enough, she saw Tang Qinglian standing there looking at Qingjiang not far away.

He Xuxia came to Jiang Shi's side and called out, "Qingqing!"

Tang Qinglian turned around and smiled, "Xuxia, you're here."

At this moment, the sun came out, reflecting Tang Qinglian's face, pink and radiant, He Xuxia couldn't help exclaiming: "It's so beautiful!"

Tang Qinglian stretched out her hand and pulled He Xuxia onto Jiang Shi.

He Xuxia asked, "Have you been up for a long time?"

Tang Qinglian said: "It's been a while. If you can't sleep, it's better to get up."

He Xuxia smiled and said, "The happy event is here, so of course I can't sleep!"

Tang Qinglian looked at He Xuxia calmly and softly, and said, "Xuxia, I'm in a very calm mood right now, neither happy nor sad, isn't it a bit strange?"

He Xuxia joked with a smile: "This shows that you are very mature."

After she finished saying this, she suddenly felt a little heavy in her heart, so she stopped talking and stood on the river stone with Tang Qinglian.After a while, the two of them got down from Jiangshi and continued northward to the edge of Qingjiang River, chatting and walking slowly.

At this time, He Qinglian pointed around and said: "When I first came here, I could see everything clearly, except for some fog floating on the Qingjiang River. Look at Xuxia, now the sun has come out for a while, but the fog has risen The Huangqiao Town across the river, the Zhangshu Bay over there, and the foggy mountains are all looming, all shrouded in fog, and when the sun shines, it looks like a fairyland, which is quite beautiful.”

He Xuxia took a look, and sure enough, the scenery she saw when she first came out was hidden in the clouds and mist, and said with a smile: "Yes, it's really beautiful. It's been cloudy and rainy for more than ten days, and it's sunny today, which is a good sign, Qingqing."

He Qinglian let out a long breath and said, "Yes, Xuxia, the sky is fine!"

After standing for a while, He Xuxia said: "Qingqing, let's go back, it's almost nine o'clock. When are you going to Zhangshuwan? I haven't had breakfast yet."

Tang Qinglian said with a smile: "In the past few days, your mother, sister Xinping and Wuhua's father and mother have discussed everything. Let's go there at ten o'clock."

After Yuan Wuhua went to Jiangwan to pick up Tang Qinglian's family at ten o'clock in the morning, Yuan Guishan and Liu Meihui greeted them with smiles, and then led the family to the main room.

Yuan Wuhua wanted to go in after parking the car, but Zuo Dongming came over and stopped him.

Yuan Wuhua smiled and asked, "Uncle Dongming, what's the matter?"

Zuo Dongming was invited by Yuan Guishan to be in charge today, and said, "Wuhua, do you understand the content of today's engagement?"

Yuan Wuhua said: "I don't know the other content, I only know a few words I have to say."

Zuo Dongming took out a piece of red paper, opened it, and said, "Yes, I'm here to check with you again to see how your preparations are going."

Yuan Wuhua smiled and said, "Uncle Dongming, can you not speak? I've never spoken in front of so many people. I'm a little nervous!"

Zuo Dongming also laughed, and said, "Wuhua, today these people are your parents, sisters, brothers-in-law, your aunt's family, and your Laozi's family. Why are you nervous about talking a few words?"

At 11:30, Zuo Dongming invited everyone to sit down in the main room. After introducing the procedure of the engagement ceremony and the guests attending the ceremony, he took out the agreed content and read it out.

From the beginning of the ceremony, Yuan Wuhua was immersed in his own thoughts.He recalled every detail of his relationship with Qinglian, feeling the ups and downs, and from time to time he would show a sweet smile.Sometimes my thoughts return to reality, and I look at Qinglian sitting at the next table.Qinglian sat quietly, with some faint smiles on her face.Ever since he was a child, he had imagined the scene of being with Qinglian countless times, and today it finally became a reality. Yuan Wuhua was so excited that he felt like he was in a dream.

After an unknown amount of time, Liu Meihui who was sitting next to him pushed him twice before he came back to his senses and asked, "Mother, what's the matter?"

Liu Meihui said, "Uncle Dong Ming called you!"

Yuan Wuhua looked up, and Zuo Dongming was looking at him with a smile. He knew that it was time for him to speak.

Yuan Wuhua stood up, and walked to Zuo Dongming with a embarrassed smile. He didn't know where the words he had thought in advance went. He looked at Zuo Dongming at a loss, and Zuo Dongming motioned him to turn around and look. with everyone.

Yuan Wuhua turned around and became even more nervous when he saw everyone watching him quietly.He scanned his eyes and saw Qinglian's gaze. After only one glance, Yuan Wuhua immediately calmed down and said, "I actually thought about what I was going to talk about here just now. I was a little nervous. I don't want to talk about it now." remembered."

The crowd laughed.

"Don't laugh, everyone. I'll just say a few words like this." Yuan Wuhua raised his voice, cleared his voice, and said loudly, "I, Yuan Wuhua, have always liked Tang Qinglian since I was a child, and I have never changed it! I will never change it in the future." I want to love Qinglian for the rest of my life, treat Qinglian well! Don’t let her suffer! Live a good life with her!”

At the end of Yuan Wuhua's speech, he simply hissed. After he finished speaking, the scene was silent for a moment.

Zuo Dongming smiled and said, "Although Wuhua's speech was short, it was quite touching. Qinglian, it's your turn!"

Tang Qinglian walked up with a smile, stretched out her hand generously to hold Yuan Wuhua's hand, looked at Yuan Wuhua with moist eyes, and said, "Thank you, Wuhua!"

Then she turned to face the crowd and said, "Thanks to my parents, Wuhua's parents, my aunt and uncle, Xuxia, sister Xinping, and all the relatives and friends who have helped me, and thank you for being here today." Everyone! I, Tang Qinglian, will always remember your kindness to me! Thank you!"

After Tang Qinglian finished speaking, she bowed to everyone. Seeing this, Yuan Wuhua quickly followed suit.Everyone met and applauded even more enthusiastically.He Xuxia ran up and hugged Tang Qinglian.

During the meal, Yuan Wuhua toasted table by table. After returning to his seat, he drank a lot of wine in return. The other guests dispersed. Yuan Wuhua sat down with his four brothers-in-law and Ren Zhijian and continued to drink.He Xuxia was worried that he would get drunk, so she came to persuade him not to drink.Yuan Wuhua smiled and gently pushed He Xuxia away, and continued drinking with several people.

He Xuxia pulled Tang Qinglian over, and Tang Qinglian said, "Wuhua, don't drink, you have to send Xuxia back to No. [-] Middle School tonight."

Yuan Wuhua smiled and said, "Okay, stop drinking."

Yuan Wuhua felt very dizzy when he stood up, and staggered upstairs to the room.Seeing this, Tang Qinglian called Xuxia a few times, and wanted He Xuxia to help him go to the room to rest.He Xuxia didn't know where to go, Tang Qinglian had no choice but to help Wuhua go.

When he arrived in the room, Yuan Wuhua hugged Qinglian and wanted to kiss Qinglian.Tang Qinglian became anxious, struggled for a while, broke free, and slapped Wuhua hard.The voice was very loud and clear, Yuan Wuhua was stunned, covered his face, and looked at Qinglian with puzzled eyes.Tang Qinglian was also dumbfounded, she raised her hand and looked at Yuan Wuhua apologetically.Yuan Wuhua's expression gradually became gloomy. After hiccupping, he fell on the bed and dragged a corner of the quilt over his chest.

Tang Qinglian walked over to help Yuan Wuhua take off his shoes, covered the quilt again, and said softly: "Wuhua, I will give it to you, you have to give me time."

After finishing speaking, he walked slowly to the door, turned around and closed the door and went out.
