Back to 2006

The fifth day of the new year.

Members of Yang Xingyu's wedding preparation team came to report early in the morning.

Tomorrow is the wedding day, and all preparations must be done today, such as arranging the wedding room, preparing various items needed for the wedding, and finally determining whether the personnel of tomorrow's wedding team can be in place on time. Need to replace people, etc.

Yang Xingyu was not idle either, he was involved in all the preparations.

After a busy day, it was not until nightfall that everyone in the wedding preparation team went to rest in the guest room of the villa, and Yang Xingyu was free.

I went to the master bedroom alone and took a hot bath.

When he sat on the bed, he took his mobile phone and saw a few more messages on the phone.

In fact, throughout the day today, his mobile phone received calls and messages from time to time.

Most of the messages were from relatives and friends calling to congratulate him, and most of the messages were to confirm with him the location of tomorrow's wedding banquet.

At this time, one of the several new messages on his phone was from Zhen Xin.

"About what time will you pick me up tomorrow?"

Yang Xingyu: "We plan to come here early and try to avoid the morning rush hour. We may set off at dawn. We will arrive at your place around 7 o'clock."

Although it is still the Spring Festival and most office workers are on vacation, according to his past experience, during the Spring Festival every year, there are usually many cars coming and going on the main roads between counties and cities, most of which are departures. The car used to pay New Year greetings.

Although there were far fewer private cars in Shanshui City and Yingshui County in 08 than there were a dozen years later, there was still the possibility of traffic jams.

Because of Chinese people's habits, during the Spring Festival, as long as their elders are still alive, they will go out to pay New Year greetings.

Those with private cars are no exception.

In comparison, there are not so many private cars on the road.

"Oh, then you drive slower in the morning. It's often foggy in the morning recently. If it's foggy tomorrow morning, it doesn't matter if you come a little later. Safety first."

Zhen Xin's reply came quickly.

"Okay, don't worry! I'll notice."

Yang Xingyu replied first, then smiled and sent another question: "Honey, let me interview you now. You will officially marry me tomorrow. How are you feeling now? Do you have any insights?"

This time, Zhen Xin took a while before replying: "I'm a little nervous, and a little in a daze. I can't help but wander off. I think about going to do bridal makeup at 3 o'clock tomorrow morning, and my head feels heavy, and I'm afraid I won't be able to get up. , I always can’t help but wonder whether my parents will cry tomorrow, and what our married life will be like in the future. Well, I’m also a little worried about how your relatives and friends at home will cause trouble at the wedding tomorrow, and I’m a little worried that they will mess around. ”

Yang Xingyu read her message with a smile and comforted her immediately.

"Don't be afraid! I guess no one will dare to cause trouble in our wedding room tomorrow. I still have some confidence in this."

After sending this message, he thought about it and sent it again, "Since you will wake up at 3 o'clock tomorrow morning drunk and drunk, then remember to go to bed early tonight, otherwise you will definitely not be able to get up tomorrow."

Zhen Xin: "Don't you have the custom of having a wedding ceremony there?"

Zhen Xin: "Well, I must go to bed early tonight, otherwise it will be a trivial matter if I can't get up tomorrow. If I have two dark circles under my eyes, I will be ugly as hell."

Yang Xingyu: "When I was a child, the custom of having a wedding ceremony was very strong. In recent years, we actually have the custom of having a wedding ceremony here, but it also depends on who is getting married. People who don't have any friends get married. Because there are no friends, everyone is of high quality. , no one makes trouble in the wedding ceremony. On the contrary, there are some people who have no sense and make a lot of trouble. Like me, since I went to high school, my peers in the village have stayed away from me one by one. After I went to college, my peers saw me. , usually wait for me to say hello first. If I don’t speak first, they will usually just nod to me. Everyone seems to have a sense of distance from me, so there should be no trouble tomorrow. "

In the original time and space, after 2008, he had attended many people's weddings.

There are friends who are businessmen; there are classmates from college and high school; there are also relatives from my hometown; there are also weddings for some employees of my company.

The atmosphere of these people's weddings left a completely different impression on Yang Xingyu.

When a person with a good style or a high degree of education gets married, he will not see a few undistinguished friends attending the wedding, and no one will want to make a fuss about the wedding.

For those who like to make fair-weather friends, or have low academic qualifications, there will inevitably be some bad friends in the circle. The wedding scene will be more lively, and the traditional part of the bridal chamber is inevitable. Even if the bride and groom don’t want to be disturbed, they can’t refuse. .

……

Chatted with Zhen Xin for a while.

Yang Xingyu looked at several other new messages.

One of them was from Qi Meilan.

"Tomorrow is your wedding day. I know it is not suitable for me to contact you tomorrow, so I wish you a happy wedding in advance! After the Lantern Festival, I will go to Xiangjiang. Happy wedding!"

Seeing Qi Meilan's message, the smile on Yang Xingyu's face unconsciously faded a little.

Naturally, my heart is a bit complicated.

"Thank you."

He wrote, deleted and deleted, and finally only replied these two words.

The other message was from Mono-crystal.

Shan Jing was a member of his wedding preparation team. She had been helping out all day and was resting in one of the guest rooms in the villa. Unexpectedly, she sent him a message while he had just taken a shower.

Shan Jing: "You are getting married tomorrow. Can you come over and stay with me tonight?"

Yang Xingyu frowned.

Fooling around with her the night before the wedding?

Even if he doesn't have much moral integrity, he still can't do such a shameless thing.

Just pretend that I didn’t see the information about the single crystal.

The other message was from his cousin Meng Xinghe.

Meng Xinghe is the son of Yang Xingyu's second uncle's family. He was not close to Yang Xingyu in the past and has never met him a few times since he was a child.

Unexpectedly, Meng Xinghe would take the initiative to send a message the night before Yang Xingyu got married tomorrow. Meng Xinghe: "Brother, I've been waiting for you to call me to help you pick up the bride these days! Why haven't I waited for you to call me? I heard that Xingfei was arranged by you to join the wedding preparation team, I can do it too Come and help! How about I drive over now?”

So positive?

Yang Xingyu was a little surprised, but not too surprised.

He has long understood this real world.

Everyone likes to add icing on the cake. As long as you are doing well, or your family is doing well, the relationship between your family and your relatives and friends will be harmonious.

Unless your own behavior is too unlikeable.

In the past, his family was poor and he didn't even pass the college entrance examination. Meng Xinghe had no interest in getting close to him, which was normal.

After all, how many people would like a poor relative?

But now that he's mixed up, Meng Xinghe wants to help with the marriage. Isn't it normal?

"Convenient for you?"

Yang Xingyu replied with a message.

After a while, Meng Xinghe made a call directly. On the phone, Meng Xinghe sounded very enthusiastic, as if he was eager to help with the wedding.

Yang Xingyu thought about reaching out and not hitting the smiling person. Besides, tomorrow was his wedding day. There was a missing cousin in the wedding party. When relatives and friends saw it, everyone looked bad and thanked him profusely. He invited Meng Xinghe over.

……

On the other side, Meng Xinghe, who had finished talking to Yang Xingyu, put down his phone, nodded to his parents sitting on the sofa next to him with a smile on his face, and said, "Yes! Yang Xingyu asked me to drive to his villa to sleep now, and I will join them early tomorrow morning. Go pick up the bride, hehe.”

When Yang Qingguo and Meng Yun heard this, their tense expressions relaxed, and they both had happy smiles on their faces.

Yang Qingguo took out the cigarette case with a smile and lit a cigarette.

Meng Yunze smiled and said: "Let me tell you! Xiaohe, you still have to take the initiative to make this call. You have not seen Xiaoyu very often since you were a child. Although you two are cousins, in terms of closeness, the child Xiaofei and His relationship is much closer than yours! This is his marriage, which is a good opportunity for you to get closer to him! Be more active when you help tomorrow!"

Yang Qingguo nodded in agreement: "Well, that's the truth!"

Speaking of this, Yang Qingguo said to his son sternly: "Xiaohe, I know you looked down on Xiaoyu before and thought he was inferior to you in everything. Every time we met, you didn't even want to call him big brother, but now that he is rich, his value is different." Yes! If you maintain your brotherly relationship with him, he will be a great help to you in your career and life in the future! You must know this, but I still want to remind you that in the future, when you are in front of Xiaoyu, You must never call him by his name again. Also, when talking to him, you must also pay attention to your expression and demeanor. Don't say very nice words with your mouth, but inadvertently reveal your disdain for him in your expression. Remember No?"

Meng Xinghe felt a little annoyed after hearing this, and the original smile on his face faded.

After listening, he curled his lips and nodded.

Yang Qingguo frowned, "What's your expression? Do you still look down on him in your heart? If you do, I suggest you not to help him pick up the bride, lest it backfires!"

Meng Yun looked at Yang Qingguo, then at Meng Xinghe, and sighed softly: "Xiaohe, I know you can't change your mind at once, but if you want Xiaoyu to be your helper in the future, then you have to Get over it! No matter what you think in your heart, you must show respect and intimacy in front of him! Just like your parents taught you how to please your boss in the company, no matter whether the boss is good or not. It makes me feel sick just looking at him, so you have to show that you admire him, admire him, and like him! Do you understand?”

Meng Xinghe nodded impatiently with a dark face, and replied in a muffled voice: "I know, I know! You guys are so long-winded! How can I still not have this kind of emotional intelligence?"

With that said, he immediately got up and went to his bedroom to clean up and prepare to go to Yang Xingyu's place.

Yang Qingguo and Meng Yun were left sitting on the sofa in the living room in silence.

A moment later, he saw Meng Xinghe striding out of the bedroom, going to the door with a straight face and eyes to change his shoes and go out, until the door slammed shut and the house became quiet.

Yang Qingguo, who frowned, let out a long sigh, "How unpredictable things are! If I had known that Xiaoyu would be like this, I would have taken you and Xiaohe back more often during the holidays. In that case, Xiaohe and Xiaohe would be together. Yu’s relationship is definitely much better than it is now!”

Meng Yun was silent for a long time and said quietly: "No one has the foresight. Who can predict what will happen in the future? In the past, you always said that none of your brothers and sisters can make a fortune. You don't want Xiaohe to associate with them in the future. Now you say If we regret it, what’s the use? We can only try our best to make amends!”

Yang Qingguo was speechless.

He has always regarded himself as the smartest among his brothers and sisters.

The boss, Yang Qingshi, felt that he had no education, no skills, and a bad temper, and it would be impossible for him to get along well in this life.

The third child, Yang Qingping, is cunning and clever, but not very wise. He likes to use his cleverness to take advantage of himself, but he doesn't care about his own credibility. This is a world where no trust can be established. No one wants a person without credibility. Being so close, how could there ever be a day in this life when I could become famous?
The fourth child, Yang Qingzhi, was his Yang Qingguo's sister. She didn't study much. Although she married a man who had some skills, he was just a man with no ambition at all. He could support the family, but he couldn't make a fortune.

As for the name Qingsi, he is actually the fifth ranked Yang Qingsi. Yang Qingguo despises him even more. He has a worse temper than the eldest Yang Qingshi and is a stammer. Although he has studied for several years, he has never learned anything. Apart from being able to grow some food, Yang Qingguo never thought that he could make any money outside of his craftsmanship, and he didn't want to earn a cent. Such a brother had no future at all.

Therefore, after Yang Qingguo married into the Meng family, he would occasionally go back to his hometown once or twice throughout the year. After all, he could not let people say that Yang Qingguo did not recognize his relatives.

However, he didn't want his son to get too close to those people in his hometown.

Over the years, his original plan was to maintain the relationship with his hometown only within his own generation.

When he dies one day, his son Meng Xinghe will lose contact with his hometown.

However, he never dreamed that his eldest brother Yang Xingyu would become rich so quickly when he grew up and graduated from a poor college.

Not only did he make a fortune, but he also helped the youngest Yang Qingsi get married, and also helped arrange a job for Zhong Xingfei, the son of the third youngest Yang Qingping. I heard that Xiaoyu had been training Zhong Xingfei in the past few years.

This gradually changed Yang Qingguo's heart.

Today, he still looks down on his brothers and sisters, but he wants his son to have a good relationship with Yang Xingyu.

Because no matter how he looked at it, Yang Xingyu was far better off than his family.

If his son Meng Xinghe can get help from Yang Xingyu, his career will be much easier.

……

More than an hour later.

Meng Xinghe stood in front of Yang Xingyu's villa, took out his mobile phone and dialed Yang Xingyu's number.

"Brother, I'm here. I'm at the door of your villa now. I was afraid that ringing the doorbell would wake up my uncle and the rest, so I called you. Please come down and open the door for me!"

On the phone, Meng Xinghe's voice was very polite. (End of chapter)
