The literary era since 1979

Chapter 216 A wise man never falls in love

October 10st, National Day.

There is a "囍" character pasted on the window of the house in Shichahai, and big "喜" characters are pasted on both sides of the door.

At the door, Han Yuemin, wearing a Zhongshan suit custom-made from Hongdu, was sitting on a TR125 motorcycle with a red ribbon hanging on the mirror frame.

Behind him were all Phoenix brand bicycles, and the people riding them were either employees of Han Yuemin's tailor shop or his co-workers from the noodle factory days.

"set off!"

"Woo~"

Accompanied by a piercing roar, the wedding procession marched towards Nanluoguxiang in a mighty manner.

"Coming! Coming!"

The first neighbor who saw it started shouting.

Both sides of the road were filled with neighbors who came to watch the fun, some standing, some sitting, saying "congratulations" once or twice.

Magpies were chirping under the big locust tree in front of the door.

Han Yuemin handed the motorcycle to his childhood friend, then quickly walked into the yard, and saw that Fangyan's house was also decorated with lights and festive arrangements.

These days, there are neither bridesmaids blocking the door nor red envelopes to pave the way, so the journey is smooth.

As soon as he entered the door, Fang Yan was the first to rush over, calling him "brother-in-law" and her little mouth was as sweet as honey.

Han Yuemin grinned, then greeted Fangyan and called out "Mom" affectionately to the kind-looking Yang Xia.

"Well, come inside."

Yang Xia was dressed festively and sat upright on a rosewood armchair that was specially moved from Fangyan's room.

"Eh."

Han Yuemin walked quickly into the inner room, feeling both surprised and happy. He was happy to see Fang Hong wearing a cheongsam, but was surprised by what was behind her.

Not only were Bai Ruoxue, Su Ya and Tang Shengnan standing there, but there were also Gong Xian, Zhang Yu and Zhao Jing.

In order to avoid stealing the show, Gong Xing dressed plainly and had no makeup on, but her beauty could not be concealed.

Originally, he wanted to stand in the most inconspicuous position, but Fang Hong pulled him next to him. Before Han Yuemin came to pick him up, they asked him a lot of questions and chatted about a lot of family matters.

"Um, Gong Xing, can I call you 'Xiao Xing'?"

"Of course, Sister Fang Hong."

"You don't have to call me that. Just call me 'Sister Hong'."

"Sister Hong."

"Your family is in Shanghai, right?"

"Well, in Shanghai..."

We started from ourselves and even talked about our interests and hobbies.

When Fang Hong heard that she liked painting and was studying fashion design, she became interested and immediately started talking.

At this moment, thinking of Fang Hong praising him for being "beautiful and intelligent", Gong Xing pursed his lips and his eyes flickered.

"Clap clap clap."

The sudden applause brought his wandering mind back to normal. Gong Xing clapped his hands and saw Han Yuemin and Fang Hong off to the hall.

Neighbors surrounded the couple in three layers, leaving only a small space for the newlyweds to bow to Yang Xia and Fang Yuanchao's portrait hanging on the wall.

Afterwards, the "send home mother" brought a bowl of steaming hot dumplings for Han Yuemin and Fang Hong to eat, and asked:
“Are the dumplings raw?”

Fang Hong showed a shy look and said softly, "Life".

"The sound is too soft, I can't hear it!"

The people around started shouting one by one.

The idea is basically the same: let her give birth! Let her give birth!
Seeing Zhang Yu and Zhao Jing joining in the fun, Gong Xing also asked with a smile: "Do you want to have a baby?"

As soon as I said it, I vaguely noticed that Fangyan, who was standing opposite me, seemed to be giving me a meaningful look.

"born!!"

Han Yuemin and Fang Hong said in unison, then put on big red flowers and were applauded and cheered by the crowd, and were escorted all the way to the door.

Fang Hong sat sideways on the motorcycle, waved goodbye to Fang Yan, Yang Xia and others, with tears in her eyes and reluctance written all over her face.

Yang Xia couldn't contain her excitement and couldn't help crying for joy.

"Mom, you can come visit me anytime you want in the future. Don't forget that we also have a house on Yandaixie Street."

Fangyan comforted Yang Xia with a few words, then ran to give instructions to Han Yuemin and the other two, running around and having a lot of fun.

"Crackling."

Soon, bursts of firecrackers were heard in the alley.

Accompanied by the roar of motorcycles, the wedding procession gradually disappeared from people's sight.

"Thank you all! Thank you for your hard work!"

Fangyan clasped his fists and thanked the neighbors who came to support him.

"Yanzi, move our TV out."

Yang Xia wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and waved her hand.

We simply took out all the remaining candies, peanuts and melon seeds, held a tea party and celebrated properly.

………………

Soon, the yard was full of people, all staring at the TV.

Today is different from the past. In order to celebrate the National Day, CCTV trial-broadcasted "Exorcising the Demons of the Black Chicken Kingdom" filmed by the "Journey to the West" crew.

No matter they were children or adults, they were all busy looking at the monkey. Not to mention Gong Xian and the other two, even the beauties on TV showed no interest. Sun Wukong was so attractive!
Who doesn’t want to be the Monkey King once!
What's more, Gong Xing and the others were wrapped in veils and sat together in a low-key manner. It would be difficult to detect it if you didn't look closely at their faces.

"Sister Yang, Yaya's big event is over, now it's time to worry about your Yanzi." "Yes, he's a handsome man and a great writer. You have to choose the best one for him."

"It's too early to say that. Nowadays, people are encouraged to marry and have children later. State officials like Yanzi should not get married until they are 25."

"Marriage is one thing, but you have to find a partner first. Sister Yang, does your Yanzi have a partner?"

"........."

Not far away, Yang Xia, Zhao Hongmei and Wang Meili gathered together and started chatting. The speakers were unintentional, but the listeners were attentive.

Gong Xing could barely understand the general idea, and his heart skipped a beat.

Zhang Yu lowered her voice and asked, "Sister Gong Yu, Aunt Yang and the others seem to be talking about Teacher Fang's girlfriend?"

Zhao Jing made a gesture to silence me: "Shh, don't say what you shouldn't say, don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

Zhang Yu looked left and right, "Don't say that. Don't you want to know who Teacher Fang's partner is?"

Zhao Jing was stunned, "Teacher Fang has a girlfriend?"

"I don't know." Gong Xing looked at Fang Yan, who was pouring water and passing cigarettes to everyone, with a gloomy look in his eyes.

"I do not know either."

Zhang Yu made his hand into a trumpet shape and whispered, "But I think the most likely ones are Su Ya and Bai Ruoxue. I heard from Yan Zi that one of them grew up in the same courtyard as Teacher Fang, and the other is a Yan University student who taught Teacher Fang foreign languages."

Zhao Jing said: "I think so too."

Seeing the two people whispering, Gong Xing unconsciously pulled off the gauze scarf and kept twisting it in his hands.

"You two should stop talking nonsense. It would be so embarrassing if Teacher Fang and the others heard it."

"Sister Gong Xian, which one of them do you think will be Teacher Fang's partner?" Zhang Yu looked through the crowd at Bai Ruoxue and Su Ya who were chatting and laughing with Fang Yan.

Gong Xing asked, "What if it's neither?"

Zhao Jing also added: "That's right, Xiaoyu, don't make blind guesses. What if Teacher Fang doesn't have a partner at all?"

Zhang Yu grabbed the scarf and said, "Isn't that good news?"

Zhao Jing said, "Ahem, Comrade Xiaoyu, I need to remind you, don't forget Comrade Kaimin."

"Ugh."

Zhang Yu frankly admitted that no matter how others tried to bring them together, there was just no spark between her and Guo Kaimin.

Gong Xing was about to speak when he suddenly heard a scream.

"Oh, isn't this Zhou Yun from "Love in Lushan Mountain"?!"

"Gong Xian! You are Gong Xian, right?"

When the first young man in the yard recognized them, the second and the third would follow immediately. All of a sudden, the enthusiasm of the boys and girls in the alley was ignited, and the whole place became noisy.

Soon, it turned into a fan meet and greet and autograph session.

Yang Xia watched happily, and was constantly questioned by the old sisters around her. She raised her chin and said:

"They are all Yan Zi's friends. They came to Yanjing for the National Day holiday and attended his sister's wedding."

"Friends? Is there anyone Iwako is dating among them?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at them curiously.

"I don't know about that."

Yang Xia looked at Gong Xing and the other two who were surrounded by each other and said with a smile: "Our family advocates free love."

From the bottom of his words, whether it is an actor or a worker, as long as Fangyan likes it, he will fully support it.

I don't seek to be rich or powerful, but first of all, he should be a person with good character, good looks and a good figure. Then, you can have a good chat with him, and both sides should be honest with each other, and treat each other with sincerity. It would be best if you have some pursuits yourself, and don't be a housewife.

These conditions are not excessive at all, right?
"It doesn't matter if you're older?"

Someone suddenly said.

"It's better to be bigger! It will hurt if it's bigger!"

Yang Xia looked over and saw that with Fangyan's help, Gong Xing and the others were able to leave the yard. Before leaving, they said:
"Mom, I won't be back for lunch!"

...............

Walking out of Nanluoguxiang, Zhang Yu recalled the scene just now, patted his chest lightly, and breathed a sigh of relief.

“The crowd was really enthusiastic.”

"Yeah, I almost couldn't get out."

After Zhao Jing finished speaking, Gong Xing turned to look at Fang Yan, "Teacher Fang, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Fangyan waved his hands: "It's not a problem, not at all. If you really want to talk about trouble, your trouble is caused by me."

"What are you talking about?"

Zhang Yu couldn't help but laugh and said, "But Teacher Fang, I have a question, but I don't know if I should ask it?"

Dialects say you can ask questions, but you may not be able to answer them.

Zhang Yu's eyes were cunning, "Teacher Fang, why didn't your partner come to Sister Hong's wedding today?"

Fangyan frankly said that he had no partner.

Gong Xing didn't hear a word of what was said afterwards.

Zhang Yu exclaimed in surprise, "I thought someone as outstanding as Teacher Fang must have a partner already."

"Xiao Yu!"

Zhao Jing hurriedly explained: "I'm sorry, Teacher Fang, she is a straightforward person and sometimes speaks without thinking too much..."

"There's a saying, I don't know if you've ever heard of it, 'A wise man never falls in love'?"

Fangyan looked mysterious and did not say the second half of the sentence.

Gong Xing was stunned. A wise man doesn't fall in love easily?
