i'm really rich

Chapter 158 The Wedding Scene
"It's up to you."

After a long time, Tang Duoduo uttered such a sentence.

"I have only one request, not to be too far away from home."

He Yuan originally wanted to ask, is this home his own or Tang's old home.

But after thinking about it, forget it, why should you embarrass yourself with such an obvious topic.

"You can live on campus over there, and the city is not far from here. Usually, you can take a bus or a taxi and come back. It takes about [-] minutes." He Yuan said.

In He Yuan's mind, this distance is really not too far. When I used to go to work, it took about an hour just to go there. Now it doesn't take an hour to go back and forth, and it is already very close.

Hearing what He Yuan said, Tang Duoduo stopped talking. She lowered her head to eat and finished her meal quickly.

After eating, Tang Duoduo started to clean up the table, and He Yuan accompanied her to clean up.

After cleaning up, He Yuan went with her to Tang's hometown.

The situation in Tang's old house looked horrible, almost all the furniture inside was smashed to pieces.Even those sheets, and the wardrobe, did not escape the clutches.The sheets on the wooden bed were lifted and thrown on the floor, and the clothes in the closet were pulled out one by one, and thrown everywhere.

He Yuan and Tang Duoduo cleaned out the whole room together, and those broken things were thrown away directly, but the furniture in Tang's home was too dilapidated, almost all of them were missing arms after being tossed about by those white-eyed wolves. As for the legs, few of them can be used anymore.

After cleaning the house, it was getting late.He Yuan took Tang Duoduo home, and when he left, he was going to lock the door, but the wooden door had been damaged and could not be opened at all.

Fortunately, there is nothing valuable inside, even a hooligan who wanders around the village at the end of the year and wants to make a fortune will not take a fancy to this house-there is not even a color TV in it.

He Yuan pulled the door casually, seeing that it couldn't close, he ignored it.

After returning home, Tang Duoduo went upstairs to wash up. After such a toss, her body was covered with a lot of gray stains, white and black, very dirty.

He Yuan also went to the bathroom to rinse, changed into clean clothes, and then threw the soiled set of old clothes into the washing machine.

Looking at the two sets of clothes piled up in the washing machine, He Yuan scratched his head.The clothes were either mud stains or dust, which looked disgusting.

As a clean freak, He Yuan certainly couldn't bear to let such clothes stay in the washing machine for a whole day.

So he picked up the laundry detergent on the side, poured a little into the washing machine, and then pressed the button, and heard a sound of water.

After doing all this, He Yuan took out his mobile phone and called Pengpeng.

To change schools for Tang Duoduo, of course he had to find an acquaintance.

Unfortunately, He Yuan didn't know many acquaintances in his hometown, not as many as Pengpeng.

At least those of his childhood classmates, after graduation, most of them stayed in Sichuan, either in the county town or in the city, almost all over the corners of various industries.

"Hey, what are you doing, I just got off work."

The phone rang several times before being picked up by the other person. Through the phone, Pengpeng's panting breathing could be heard from far away.

"What's the matter, why do you only get off work at this point? It's already the end of the year. Isn't your company not doing much business?" He Yuan said while taking a bottle of frozen yogurt for himself from the refrigerator.

"If there is no business, there is no business. You still have to do what you have to do. You can't just sit there and wait for your salary every month, right? By the way, what do you want from me? Let me tell you first, that thing is already in Done, I will tell you directly as soon as there is progress, don't rush." ​​There was a sound of opening the door from Pengpeng's side, and after a while, He Yuan heard him throw the key on the table.

"Fuck you, am I the kind of capitalist who stares at others all day long and urges them to work?" He Yuan cursed with a smile, and threw the empty yogurt bottle towards the trash can in the distance throw.

Bang, hit the three, well done.

"That's not good. You used to do things like this. When you think of something, you immediately start to take action. No one can persuade you." Pengpeng smiled "haha", and said to He Yuan, "I believe you a ghost".

"Really, sit down and operate normally." He Yuan shrugged and said.

"Okay, it's not that matter, what is it, don't say you want to invite me to dinner." Peng Peng said, He Yuan heard another woman's voice, it should be his wife.

"It's impossible to eat. You know, since I went back to my hometown, I basically stay at home. Actually, it's nothing serious. It's just a friend's child changing schools. I'll ask you to see if anyone I can help." He Yuan briefly described the matter.

"For this matter, just go to... Forget it, I'll come, and I'll give you news later." Pengpeng hesitated for a moment, and said.

"It's done." Seeing that Pengpeng took the matter to the next level, He Yuan instantly felt much more relaxed.

To be honest, compared to managing contacts, He Yuan prefers to simply do business.

Just like merchants and handicraftsmen were divided in ancient times, He Yuan is a standard handicraftsman.

He is more focused on how to improve his craft to a higher level, rather than dispersing his energy on those vain things.

To put it simply, He Yuan just didn't want to use his brain.

After chatting with Pengpeng, He Yuan hung up the phone.

After dealing with Tang Duoduo's matter, the next step is to deal with her group of relatives.

To tell the truth, He Yuan is quite annoyed by this kind of thing.In his opinion, left and right are nothing more than hundreds of thousands of dollars. If you have the time to mess around, just find something to do, and the money will come.

In the final analysis, the greatest inferiority of human beings is to want to get something for nothing.

It's not that He Yuan hadn't thought about asking Mr. Tang to make a will, and use this thing to save a lot of trouble.But to be honest, He Yuan thinks this kind of will is useless. After all, you can only reason with normal people, but if they are normal people, this kind of trouble will not happen.

Everyone knows that they need to support the elderly, but there is such a group of white-eyed wolves, it's fine if they don't support the elderly, and they even abuse, abandon, and rob the family property...

That is to say, they have no relatives or reasons with He Yuan, otherwise He Yuan really wants to kill them.

The other is that He Yuan feels that this kind of thing is too cruel for the elderly.

If the old man was really ruthless at the beginning, the matter would not have come to this point.

After thinking about it, He Yuan felt that for this kind of thing, it is still necessary to find a "professional" person.

It just so happened that he happened to know one such person.

But when he thought of pretending to be dead and not responding to the message, He Yuan scratched his head again, feeling quite embarrassed.

When there is something to do, he will find someone else, and when there is nothing to do, he will hide and pretend to be dead. This makes He Yuan feel like a scumbag.

After thinking about it, He Yuan finally forgot.

It's already so late, it's not good to disturb others' sleep.

It's definitely not a guilty conscience, afraid of making some unclear things again-well, absolutely not.

Early the next morning, He Yuan made breakfast and asked Tang Duoduo to eat.

Before going out, He Yuan told Tang Duoduo to be careful on the way, and to call her directly if there was anything to do.

Watching Tang Duoduo leave, He Yuan felt a little melancholy.

This matter must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise I will be worried every day, and I will not be able to survive this day.

After seeing off Tang Duoduo, He Yuan started his day's work as usual.

Played with the little guy for a while, then added cat food, water, changed cat litter, and packed the replaced cat litter into bags, and proposed to throw it away.

After finishing all this, He Yuan made himself a cup of black tea as usual, then sat on the sofa, took out his mobile phone, and sent a message to Tian Rui.

Today is the day of Duck's wedding. He Yuan and Tian Rui made an appointment to go over to have lunch and hand over a red envelope by the way.

If He Yuan is alone, he doesn't even need to eat lunch, just transfer a red envelope on WeChat.

But as a classmate of Duck, Tian Rui still had to be present.Fortunately, the hotel where she works is also very close to Duck's house, and it takes a few minutes by taxi.

He Yuan sent a message to Tian Rui, mainly to confirm the time.

Tian Rui also told him before that the place where the duck got married was near her home, and He Yuan had been there.So He Yuan can reach that place as long as he drives by the navigation, and there will be a sign outside, and He Yuan can find the place quickly as long as he follows the sign.

Originally, it was said that the ducks were planning to hold their wedding at the hotel at the beginning.But one is that last year's market was not very good, and many companies went bankrupt directly, not to mention giving out year-end bonuses.The other is that the duck bought a house, not a house in Chengdu, but a house in his hometown, but the price is not low, which can be regarded as a high-end acquisition.

A house of seven or eight thousand is about the same as the housing price in Chengdu two or three years ago.Back in 16, the house price in Damian was only around [-], and no one bought it. As a result, it almost rose to [-] last year, and it quadrupled in two years. This speed is comparable to a rocket.

Even my hometown has doubled or tripled in size.

Unfortunately, the duck can be regarded as a high-level receiver, so now his pockets are empty. In addition, he was delayed for several years in order to upgrade his undergraduate degree, and he came out to work late.Now that the market conditions are not good, my position is also in jeopardy. In addition, as soon as I bought a house, it fell, and I was also locked up. Duck Worry's hair is almost bald.

He Yuan felt that the luck of their generation was really bad.

Although those born in the [-]s said that they had worked very hard, they also said that they were miserable.But at that time, at least they still had a lot of opportunities. They just set up stalls and went to sea to do business. Why not make money?They sell a bowl of duck blood noodles for four yuan in BJ, and after years of hard work, they can buy several apartments in the third ring road of BJ.

As for the post-[-]s generation, as soon as they came out, the market turned cold and housing prices soared. You put in dozens of times of effort, but in the end you found that the money you earned was not even a fraction of the housing price, let alone even the qualifications to get on a car. No.

Especially for those who have graduated in the past two years, the real "graduation equals unemployment".

Distressed.

After chatting with Tian Rui, He Yuan checked the time, and it was still two or three hours away.

Generally speaking, if you hold a banquet in the countryside, it usually takes two or three days.

On the first day, I started to be busy from early in the morning. In addition to hiring a special master, almost all the women in the left and right houses went to help.Like Tian Rui's mother, she passed away early in the morning.

In this case, the host will usually take care of the meal, except for the banquet on the first day, when everyone is entertained, on the second and third day, all the guests from other places have left, and the rest is to entertain the folks in the village.

But these are the rules of the older generation, like the younger generation, basically they don't pay much attention to that meal.Like Pengpeng’s previous wedding, He Yuan just went there for lunch and didn’t even stay for dinner—he returned to his hometown when he had time, and he had to catch a plane back to BJ in the evening, and he had to report to the company on weekends.

Who knows, why big companies always like to spend weekends for presentations.

It may be that there are too many meetings in normal times, and there is not enough time on weekdays, so I can only take weekends, and I won’t count you as overtime pay anyway.

But this time, He Yuan didn't have to catch a plane, so he had plenty of time.Tian Rui asked him to go there early, and when she was taking a break at noon, she rushed over directly, but He Yuan declined.

He was not familiar with other people, and after he passed, everyone was busy, and he just sat there alone, feeling quite idle.

When the time was almost up, He Yuan pinched him, then changed his clothes and drove out.

He drove directly to Tian Rui Hotel. After the car was settled on the side of the road, He Yuan took out his mobile phone and sent Tian Rui a WeChat message.

After about ten minutes, I saw Tian Rui wearing a hotel uniform and a down jacket, running out from the direction of the hotel in a hurry.

After getting in the car, Tian Rui rubbed her cold and sore ankle, and complained to He Yuan: "I told you to go there first, why are you running here?"

"Isn't this here to pick you up? By the way, why don't you change your clothes first?" He Yuan said.

"Don't change. It's so troublesome to change clothes. I have to come back immediately after dinner. It would be bad if the leader finds out that I sneaked away." Tian Rui shook her head and said.

"It's so thin, what should I do if it freezes?"

Tian Rui's clothes are standard workplace attire.

Flesh-colored stockings, a black hip-wrapping skirt, a small black suit on top, and a pair of high-heeled shoes on her feet.

The streets are full of heavy down jackets, and Tian Rui's clothes look cold.

"Oh, walk around for a while, it will get hot soon, it's okay." Tian Rui breathed out two hot breaths on her palm, and replied to He Yuan.

He Yuan shook his head, he couldn't say anything more, and drove towards the duck's house.

After arriving at Di'er, He Yuan finally knew what the so-called "road sign" Tian Rui was talking about.

On an uphill place in between, there is a huge signboard with pictures of the duck and the woman on it. Below the signboard is written "Direction to the Wedding Site" in huge letters, with a big arrow below it.

Seeing the font, He Yuan couldn't help but smile, and Tian Rui asked, "What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing, where did they take this wedding photo?"

"I don't know, it seems to be made in the city."

"Let's go back and blacklist this wedding shop. This photo is the same as the non-mainstream photo stickers that everyone took when I was in school."

Tian Rui gave He Yuan a white look, and said angrily, "Look at what you said."

As she said that, she couldn't help laughing, don't tell me, this looks like an enlarged version of the photo, the color and font are all in the style of more than ten years, full of strong local flavor .

He Yuan followed the road signs and drove into the alley. As soon as he entered the alley, someone came over.

He Yuan stopped the car, rolled down the window, and saw the man lying on the window, and said loudly, "Are you here for the wedding?"

Before He Yuan could speak, Tian Rui waved his hand and said loudly, "Second Master! It's me!"

"Hey, isn't this Xiaorui? He's here so early." The man saw Tian Rui and greeted her with a smile.

"Yeah, I didn't take a break, so I rushed over here without even changing my clothes. By the way, where should we park this car?" Tian Rui exchanged a few words, and then asked.

"Over there, go there, there is still a parking space there." The man kept talking, and while talking, he led He Yuan to one of the yards, and found a place for them to stop.

The land of Yazi and the others can barely be regarded as an urban-rural fringe area. Outside, the area around the road has been demolished, and all of them have been rebuilt into storefronts and private houses.However, along the path next to it, there are still many rural buildings that have not been demolished. Seven or eight rural buildings are located there, connected by a narrow path.

It may be because of the marriage, there are more cars coming, many yards are already full of cars, and there are even several cars parked in the open space next to the trail.

He Yuan was more fortunate that he was driving a small car. If it was an SUV, he might not be able to enter this small courtyard. The stone piers on both sides alone could scrape the paint off the car.

In the past, a colleague complained to He Yuan, saying that he went to the countryside to eat a friend's wedding, but when he drove into the yard, the car was scratched, and he was paid a gift money, and he had to repaint the car. It was expensive to eat a meal. up.

Tian Rui got off the car directly and directed He Yuan to drive the car into the yard.

After finally parking the car, He Yuan got out of the car and saw the man in the yard moved a small chair and sat there gnawing sunflower seeds.Seeing He Yuan getting off the car, he waved his hand as a greeting.

He Yuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded his head, which was a response to him.

Tian Rui stood in the yard, stomping her feet.She is wearing a down jacket on her upper body, but it doesn't look too cold. The key is that she only wears a thin layer of stockings on her lower body. Although she said that the stockings are made of fleece, she still feels very cold when the cold wind blows outside. .

"Let's go, let's go into the house quickly."

Seeing He Yuan get off the car, Tian Rui hurriedly stepped forward to hold his hand, and led him to the duck's house.

Although He Yuan had never been to the duck's house, he still recognized his house at a glance.

His house is very festive today, the outside is decorated in red and green, and the dress is very pleasing.There are even more people coming and going inside. Villagers in cotton-padded and down jackets come and go in and out of his house, and occasionally you can see a group of little kids with runny noses.

In the yard in front of him, a shed was built directly, and a small wedding scene was made inside, with stereos, microphones, and a row of small chairs underneath.

"What about the ducks?"

He Yuan looked around the scene, but didn't see many young people.

"They went to pick up their relatives. There is still a ceremony over there. They won't come until it's over. If you can't wait, you can eat something first. It's probably almost noon when they come back." Tian Rui explained.

After hearing what she said, He Yuan realized that this is the process of getting married here.

Because the bride's side is also in the county, it's not too far from the duck's house, and it only takes about [-] minutes by car.According to the procedure, they have to go to the woman's house to pick up the bride first, go through five levels, kill six generals, distribute red envelopes, and finally carry the bride out of the boudoir.After that, there will be a ceremony at the woman's side, singing a red envelope, and having a light meal, and I will come back later.

Like Xu Yang, as the duck's side, the few "unmarried men" ran to take on the heavy responsibility of tackling tough problems and took on the role of best man.

When He Yuan heard this, he thought, luckily he didn't come early, if he came early, he didn't know how long he would have to wait here.

While he was chatting with Tian Rui, an old man came over and scattered sugar and cigarettes.

The old man is not familiar with He Yuan, but he is quite familiar with Tian Rui. I saw them laughing and chatting about something, and then the old man grabbed a handful of candy and stuffed it directly into He Yuan's arms, and also stuffed two packs of Yunyan by the way. A pack of soft clouds costs around [-] yuan.

He Yuan thanked her, and Tian Rui dragged her into the house.

The decoration in the house is not bad, it is the kind of European decoration.

I don't know why, but in recent years, people in the county especially prefer this kind of European-style decoration.All the furniture and beds are in European style.To be honest, He Yuan is not too fond of the European style. He always feels that this thing looks grand, but it is uncomfortable to live in, and it is a bit awkward.

In comparison, he prefers the clean and minimalist decoration, which doesn't need so many things and looks clean.

There were quite a lot of people in the room, most of them were uncles and aunts, especially a few middle-aged women, who looked about the same age as Tian Rui's mother, and each of them was holding their children, and they didn't know what they were talking about there.

Tian Rui went forward and said hello sweetly, and then saw those middle-aged women turned around and started chatting with Tian Rui. Whispering something in her ear, Tian Rui suddenly became embarrassed and a little awkward.

He Yuan was bored in the room.

Although the houses in the countryside are relatively large, they seem a little stuffy when more than a dozen people are crammed in at once.

In addition, the Duck’s house is not the same as Tian Rui’s house. Tian Rui’s house is a standard small second floor, but the duck’s side has also been repaired. The lower floor is a garage and a warehouse. Behind the house is the living room, and further up the living room is the bedroom.

As for the kitchen, He Yuan took a look just now and it should be built outside.

Seeing Tian Rui chatting enthusiastically there, He Yuan greeted her and went out.

He Yuan stood at the door, only to feel relieved by the cold wind outside the door.He felt a little dizzy in his head, so he couldn't help lighting a cigarette.

Just after taking two sips, I heard a surprised female voice next to me: "Hey, isn't this Xiaoyuan, when did you come back?"
