Eggplant's wedding was held as scheduled. Liu Lei, my younger brother, Yu Wei and others all arrived at the wedding scene early.
Regarding this wedding, to be honest, we are still very much looking forward to it.
After all, this is the first time I have had close contact with a wedding of the same age.
While lamenting the beauty of the bride and groom, I also felt the charm of the banquet.
Since I was in school, I basically haven't participated in banquets much. One is that school is so far away from home, and the other is that weddings that are not on weekends can¡¯t be attended even if they want to. After all, asking for leave and the like is a big taboo.
When I think about weddings, I'm plunged into memories.
Among my relatives and friends, I am considered to be the oldest in the generation of children. Except for my old cousin, almost all of them are younger brothers and younger sisters.
My cousin's wedding is still fresh in my memory.
The old cousin is two years older than me. As long as I can remember, the two of us have been living in the fields all year round, sharing all kinds of fun and delicious food together.
But time flies, people will grow up one day and have their own lives.
The old cousin did not graduate from high school, but because of family financial reasons, he dropped out of school and returned home, starting his part-time job ahead of schedule.
Did a lot of work before and after.
? At first, I made leather shoes with my aunt and my mother. I did it for more than a year, but I didn't make any money, so I gave up.
Later, I went to Liao's house to get horns.
The boss took back the raw cattle head and they processed it. After cooking, horn fading, cutting, polishing and other processes before and after, the processed horns are sent to the next family for processing horn combs.
I also worked here for a while, but I still didn't make any money. Later, I went to the musical instrument team with others. Working as a drummer.
Lao Cou has liked to sing since he was a child, and in my opinion, he is very talented.
If the conditions of the family are good, if you cultivate it well from an early age, you may be able to develop in the direction of a singer in the future. Unfortunately, things backfired.
Later, the old cousin started catering with a friend in the village.
Cold pot fish - pepper fish, it is said that the business is not bad.
At that time, the old cousin was still the old cousin I was familiar with, and he was still the one who had never bowed to life.
When I was in the second year of high school, he followed the owner of the cold pot fish shop, went far away, went north, and went to the northeast.
Far away from home, relying on Heihe, in the cold north, I started cold pot fish.
After running so far, the salary I paid was not high, 3000-3500.
However, after being far away from home, I can save some money. Apart from smoking some cigarettes, the old cousin doesn¡¯t spend much money on weekdays, so it is still possible to save 20,000 yuan a year.
When I was in my hometown, besides working to earn money, my cousin¡¯s biggest hobby was playing mahjong.
In addition to going to work, during the break time, I basically meet with friends, drink tea and play cards.
? There are winners and losers in playing cards. I don¡¯t know if you have heard this sentence, but the truth is good, but only those who have really practiced it know that there is no winner at all!
In the end, the winner is the one who runs the mahjong parlor!
No matter how big or small you fight, it doesn't matter if you win, there will always be a day when you lose, right? In the long run, it's pretty good to be able to play without losing or winning, but when you win, you have to play cards every game, which is the store's income!
From the loser!
Not to mention those who lose, they will be sucked dry sooner or later!
Therefore, when the old cousin was at home, the little money he earned was basically squandered, and there was no balance.
Although in Heilongjiang, the wages are not that high, but there is not much money spent there.
Looking around, I can't even find anyone who wants to play mahjong, what else can I do?
Even if you have money, you can't lose it, so the old watch can save some money instead.
The old cousin stayed in Heilongjiang for about a year, and came together with a person from the same restaurant.
After getting to know each other for a period of time, it was finally time to talk about marriage.
I was very happy to hear the news of my cousin's marriage, from the bottom of my heart! Playmates from childhood to adulthood are finally getting married and having children.
However, it was much faster than I thought.
At that time, I was only in the last semester of my third year of high school, so I asked the teacher for leave in advance and rushed back early.
On the day of the wedding, the bride's parents also came all the way from Heilongjiang to attend the wedding together.
Due to the limited economy, everything about the wedding was kept simple.
? No wedding celebration, no wedding ceremonydear. On the day of the wedding, the old cousin drove the car, picked up the cousin from the bridal shop on the street, and went straight home, which was considered a process.
Although the family conditions are not very good, but the banquet can not be sloppy! The people here are all relatives and friends who have been with us for many years, so we can't let everyone gossip, right?
For the old cousin's wedding, I must have rushed to the front line!
Early in the morning, I booked the task of serving dishes for 2 tables at the entrance. ¡ª¡ª waiter!
Here we call the one who serves the dishes on the banquet as the waiter.
Waiting the hall is a technical job! On the one hand, it is required to have fast feet, not to lag behind other tables, and not to affect the speed of the chef's serving.
On the other hand, a steady pace is required.
? Serving dishes, traveling through the sea of ??people, it is important to have a few catties in your hands. When you are moving fast, you must ensure the stability of the plate, so that the soup and water cannot be spilled.
The banquet is divided into appetizers, hot dishes, and main dishes.
The front is okay, but when it comes to the big dishes, I can't take it anymore!
Because we are not professional, and have never done this before. When encountering stewed chicken, whole fish, etc., you can only serve one plate at a time, and there is no way to compare with others.
It seems that every industry and every monthly position has its unique features.
After the banquet, most of the relatives left, leaving some close relatives and neighbors nearby. After the excitement, they finally returned to reality.
Only then did I take a good look at my old watch.
From childhood to adulthood, the two of us can almost be said to be childhood sweethearts, growing up and playing together.
Catch fish and shrimp, move crabs, and sell grapefruit.
All kinds of interesting things, thinking about it now, it seems like it was yesterday.
In a blink of an eye, the old cousin has grown up and married.
With a not tall figure, the burden on his shoulders is even heavier at this moment.
Still a familiar smile, still a familiar face. But there are some wrinkles in the corners of the eyes, I don't know if it is the baptism of the years, or toss?
However, the old cousin's eyes are still as bright as before, as if he could travel through time and reflect the innocence of childhood.
"Old cousin, congratulations ~ happy wedding!" He stepped forward and said a blessing. At this moment, it comes from my real blessing. I hope he can continue to be happy.
"Old Cousin! I haven't seen you for a long time!" The old Cousin, who was done with work, came over and gave me a big bear hug.
Just like when he took me running across the fields, this feeling is really good
However, I saw a trace of embarrassment and loss from the corner of my cousin's eyes.
"Old cousin, you've grown taller again~"
Yes, I haven't seen you for a few years. I have grown taller and stronger.
And the old watch, who has already been finalized, is still the same height as before, as thin and thin as before
? Influenced by family background when I was a child, I didn¡¯t keep up with my development, and time didn¡¯t change anything (Remember the website of this site: www.hlnovel.com
