Time passed by like flowing water, and in a blink of an eye, it was 2012. The blessing of the Mayans was given a special meaning this year - the end of the world.

It has been five years since he officially came out in 2007, but Zhu Yunxuan and Li Rui's life is getting better and better.

The two of them have doubled with the rapid development of the Internet in recent years. If they hadn't been very low-key, they might have been able to squeeze onto the rich list and become the ones that some media are rushing to report.

And on the 22nd day of the first lunar month of this year, Zhu Qiuyue was about to get married.

Zhu Qiuyue graduated from college two years ago. After graduation, she joined Zhu Yunxuan's company as a warehouse manager - this is the profession she chose herself. In fact, although the salary of this profession is not high, it is absolutely easy, that is, she just needs to register when others come to get things.

After she graduated from college, as Zhu Chenggong and his wife, she had become an older unmarried daughter, so she quickly got engaged to Zhao Xiaoqiang after her parents discussed it.

In the rural areas near Wende Town, whether it is engagement or marriage, there are a lot of troubles. Zhu Qiuyue is recruiting a family, and the Zhu family represents the man. It is okay when they are engaged, that is, they use glutinous rice flour to make dumplings and cakes in advance. Then, on the day of the engagement, they just send the bride price, clothes, banquet money, pork, fish and other things to Zhao Xiaoqiang's house. Of course, a banquet will be held on this day to entertain guests.

When Zhu Qiuyue got engaged, Zhu Yunxuan and Li Rui went to help, as well as Jiang Yuexiu and Zhu Chengcai, who were more busy than Zhu Chengcai. In the countryside, neighbors and relatives were obliged to help when doing weddings and funerals. If someone didn't help when doing things at other people's houses, then no one came to do things at their own house... I guess the banquet wouldn't be able to handle it.

However, when he was engaged, he only helped for two days. This time, Zhu Qiuyue got married, but Zhu Yunxuan had to help at least four days.

Zhu Qiuyue’s wedding date was decided by looking for a blind man, and it was set on the 21st and 22nd. Then, on the 20th, the 23rd day, the "new guests" were served on the 23rd day, and she had to be busy for at least four days.

Zhu Yunxuan and Li Rui went back together. They arrived at the Zhu family on the morning of the 20th. As soon as they arrived home, Jiang Yuexiu warmly greeted them. Although Jiang Yuexiu and Zhu Chengcai didn't understand the matter of their two men being together at the beginning, after a long time, she saw that they were doing well, so she treated Li Rui as her son. Even for Li Rui, who was very diligent when she got home, she was even more enthusiastic about Zhu Yunxuan in front of her.

"Mom." Li Rui knew of course that it was okay to be lazy at home until death, but he definitely needed to show off in front of Jiang Yuexiu. So he called "Dad" and "Mom" very enthusiastically, and he was very diligent in serving tea, water, sweeping the floor and wiping the table.

"You are back! How about it? Xiaorui, you want to drive a wedding car for the bride. Do you know this?" Jiang Yuexiu asked.

When people here get married, they must find a car with enough weight and price to make a wedding car. It just so happened that Li Rui had an imported Porsche, which was designated as a wedding car this time.

"Mom, I knew it a long time ago. Yunxuan and I both want to help drive the car this time." Li Rui immediately spoke. Zhu Qiuyue had already greeted him about this matter. Because of this, he and Zhu Yunxuan drove back in a car.

"That's good. If you have a big red envelope when driving a wedding car, you can also get some joy." Jiang Yuexiu said with a smile, and then called Li Rui to have tea and eat.

But at this time everyone was busy, so Li Rui could not sit there. Soon he found an excuse to go to Zhu Chenggong's house next door to see if there was anything to do.

"Yunxuan, you live together, don't you have a fight?" Jiang Yuexiu asked. Zhu Chengcai still runs a factory, so she wants to stay and take care of her husband. Therefore, even if she stays at Zhu Yunxuan for two days, she will not stay for a long time. Zhu Yunxuan and Li Rui occasionally come back on weekends and only have two meals to stay for one night. She is always worried.

"Mom, we won't quarrel."

"Just don't quarrel. Just live your life and give in to each other. I'm afraid that you will be angry with him if you are used to being a young master at home." Jiang Yuexiu spoke with some concern. Every time she saw Li Rui busy, but Zhu Yunxuan rarely worked...

"I am used to being a young master? Mom, don't be fooled by him. He is too lazy at home. He never does housework and just expects to work in the hourly work!" Zhu Yunxuan spoke immediately, but in fact, Li Rui is not lazy either. They are now buying a small villa in Hangzhou. If they really want to clean themselves... Maybe the time spent on sanitation can be used to buy a few more villas for work!

"That's not possible! Yunxuan, don't be too weak either. Li Rui looks at me and I'm very good at pleasing people. Don't be bullied by him!" Jiang Yuexiu immediately became worried.

"Mom, I think you like Li Rui and don't like me anymore. So you still think about me!" Zhu Yunxuan immediately spoke and gave Jiang Yuexiu an exaggerated hug. Now Jiang Yuexiu is getting better and better with Li Rui. He cooks as Li Rui likes. There is a little dispute between them and helps Li Rui. He is almost drowned by jealousy!

Jiang Yuexiu glared at her son: "Silly child! I am kind to him, isn't I just expecting him to be kind to you? Why is the mother-in-law more happy to see her son-in-law? That's because she is kind to her son-in-law, she can be kind to her daughter. If she really has something to do in the future, she won't be anything to her daughter for her sake... The mother-in-law is different. Her daughter-in-law has married into her own family. If she has a child, she will not be afraid of the other party running away, so..."

"What is this a fallacy?" Zhu Yunxuan couldn't help but smile. Although it made some sense, "Why do you just treat yourself as your mother-in-law? Haven't you seen him? Li Rui has always treated you as a mother-in-law!"

"I won't fight for this. As long as you live a good life, I will be relieved. Also, don't spoil Li Rui too much!" Jiang Yuexiu has a lot of ways to control her husband, and no one can say it. At this time, she suddenly wanted to talk to her son: "I tell you that a man can't let him go in space, otherwise he will refuse to work if he gets used to being an old man. By the way, if he doesn't want to work, you can act spoiled, saying that he is uncomfortable everywhere and then instructing him to work..."

Zhu Yunxuan quickly interrupted Jiang Yuexiu: "Mom, I am also a man!"

"If you don't like to listen to me, I won't talk! I know, you all think I'm nagging!" Jiang Yuexiu suddenly turned her face.

Seeing this, Zhu Yunxuan hurriedly went up to coax his mother. Jiang Yuexiu has shown some signs of mood recently. Could it be menopause?

Of course, Jiang Yuexiu wouldn't really get angry with her son. After a while, she took Zhu Yunxuan to the next door to make birthday wishes.

When we get married, we have to share birthday peaches and many things for relatives and friends. Now, we are making birthday peaches at Zhu Qiuyue’s house.

The so-called longevity peach is made of glutinous rice flour. First, knead the glutinous rice flour into a ball with water, then put it on a steaming rack to steam it. After steaming, it will be placed in the wood mark to print out flat and round peach-shaped glutinous rice balls. Someone will also point a little red on the tip of the peach.

Longevity peaches should be made into white and green. After the cold, they stick together in pairs. The green longevity peaches are used to dye them, but they are pumpkin leaves. Knead the pumpkin leaves stored in the lime jar in advance and knead them into a ball with your hands. Then you can slowly turn all the glutinous rice balls into green.

At this moment, Li Rui was rubbing a glutinous rice dumpling. Seeing Zhu Yunxuan and Jiang Yuexiu coming, Feng Xian's family immediately asked: "Axiu, who is this young man? He is so handsome!"

"This is my godson." Jiang Yuexiu spoke proudly.

"No wonder, I just said why he called your mother." The man suddenly realized.

Feng Xian came out at this time: "Li Rui's child often lived in Chengcai's house when he was five or six years old. Everyone knows him, but you don't know if you don't come here often."

"Don't I know now? Is this child married? He should have graduated, right?"

"I graduated. I graduated from Tsinghua University. I am as old as my Dongyue. Now those who have studied are late to get married." Feng Xian spoke very proudly. Zhu Yunxuan and Li Rui were very happy to show off. Of course, her Qiuyue is also very outstanding. Not to mention her college, she can also find a boyfriend who has been to college to marry into their family. How amazing is it?

In the afternoon, I bought all the things I had to do for the banquet. Zhu Chenggong also found a pig slaying maker to kill a wedding pig for his family. When he just started selling meat, he killed pigs himself and helped others kill pigs. Some people were stingy and only reported him a red envelope of ten yuan, but now it is different. Now he has opened a slaughterhouse and a breeding farm. He no longer has to do such tiring and dirty work. Moreover, he has chosen this pig by himself!

After the pig slayer killed the pig, Zhu Chenggong gave him a red envelope of 180 yuan. At this time, the red envelopes for the pig slayer were only 60 yuan, but they were originally slaughtering pigs in his slaughterhouse, so he certainly would not be stingy.

In addition to killing pigs, it also decorates the house. Zhu Yunxuan brought people to hang two large strings of red lanterns from the roof, and then put them in colorful flags around the house. Finally, someone brought the inflatable dragon and phoenix door and placed them outside the gravel field. After being inflated, a sign was placed on the two pillars of the dragon and phoenix circling, with the name of the bride and groom and blessing words written on it.

In the room, many people are blowing balloons. Various balloons are stuck to the door frame, walls, and wrapped around the stairs. Although they are tacky, they are particularly atmosphere. Of course, the word "Xi" must be pasted. The word "Xi" must be pasted on the doors and windows, and couplets must be hung at the doors and windows.

There are a lot of things, but it is much better than the next two days, so this night, Zhu Yunxuan and Li Rui were able to sneak back to their room early and then "dummy" a bit.

The next day, neighbors and close relatives came early. After breakfast at the Zhu family, they began to kill fish and wash the vegetables and chopsticks they needed for lunch. Zhu Yunxuan and Li Rui helped to start filling the big wooden plates with things.

The reason why we get married here takes two days is because this afternoon, we need to hire and give gifts.

In Wende Town, marrying a wife is the most expensive. Not to mention the gifts and gifts when getting engaged, but also when getting married, I have to give them again. As everyone gets richer, the two gifts add up to 200,000 yuan.

In addition to decorating the room, gold jewelry for the bride, wedding photos and their own banquet money... that is definitely a big sum, and ordinary people have to save it for a lifetime!

However, it doesn't matter if you can't afford to marry a wife. In the future, one will have two children, one will have the surname of the woman, so the man will not have to give a penny of gifts, and the banquet will be held separately. And I don't know whether it is because of the lenient rural policies or the customs here. One child will have a household registration for the father's family and the other will have a household registration for the mother's family. Even if both parties are not only children, they can have two.

It costs money to marry a wife, and of course it costs money to hire a wife. However, Zhu Chenggong is rich now and doesn't care about this. Even before getting married, he bought Zhao Xiaoqiang a car worth 300,000 yuan, which is better than his daughter.

Jiang Yuexiu said before that her mother-in-law would treat her daughter-in-law badly. Such things are rare in Wende Town. Unless both parties agree that they will not marry or marry children, they will be able to do so. - Who will still look at the wife who has married after spending all the savings in the family? Even if the young couple has a conflict, they will definitely twist their son's ears and ask him to apologize.

When I went to give gifts, Zhu Qiuyue also went there. She was a husband, so she had to stay at Zhao Xiaoqiang's house tonight, and she had to wear new clothes to worship the gods. Then, when Zhao Xiaoqiang came to the Zhao family to marry her the next day.

"This marriage is really hard to deal with!" Zhu Qiuyue sat in the car, put on light makeup on her face, and complained to Zhu Yunxuan beside her.

"It's really troublesome." Zhu Yunxuan nodded in agreement. There were so many things in the past day... Tomorrow, I still don't know how Zhu Qiuyue will be troubled!

"Just you and Li Rui, there is no need to get married like this." Zhu Qiuyue sighed. Others don't know about Li Rui and Zhu Yunxuan, but she already knows it. She just expressed her blessing for this.

"I want to make trouble but I can't do it!" Zhu Yunxuan imagined the scene of marrying Li Rui and wearing a wedding dress... Well, they should be both in suits.

"You can go abroad to hold a wedding, right? You can also get a certificate."

"You think it simple... The people from the Zheng family said that they must never change their nationality." Zhu Yunxuan immediately spoke. Now the Zheng family is at its peak, especially Zheng Tianqi...

"Then there is nothing I can do. By the way, don't forget to pick up my classmates tomorrow morning." Zhu Qiuyue spoke, she invited several of her classmates to be bridesmaids.

He sent gifts to the Zhao family and also sent Zhu Qiuyue over. Li Rui and Zhu Yunxuan and Zhu Qiuyue's uncle, matchmaker, etc. in another car, brought Zhao Xiaoqiang back.

In the evening, Zhu Yunjin accompanied Zhao Xiaoqiang to sleep in the new bed the day before, which was considered a bed press. Originally, Zhu Chenggong and his wife wanted Zhu Yunxuan to go there. After all, Zhu Yunxuan was very promising, but as soon as this proposal came out, Jiang Yuexiu refused. He said that the bed press was better than younger, so he pushed Zhu Yunjin out.

When the matter was resolved, Jiang Yuexiu patted Li Rui's shoulder with lingering fear and turned dark and became better than before, as a show of comfort.

At the same time, Li Rui grabbed Zhu Yunxuan afterwards and asked in a tangled manner: "Have you ever pressed someone else's bed?"

"No! I'm looking for close relatives in bed, and I have to give you a big red envelope. I've never had a turn to do it before!"

"It's okay, okay." Li Rui nodded repeatedly. Why is it so troublesome to get married in the countryside? It takes two consecutive days to hold the banquet at noon and evening. So many people come every time, which is obviously a waste of extravagance...

Zhu Yunxuan’s previous guess was very correct. He was so busy this day, and he would definitely be even busier the next day.

Because it is logical that everyone can have lunch after marrying a bride, Zhu Qiuyue has to get up at six in the morning to put on makeup, and Zhu Yunxuan has to get up so early to send Zhu Qiuyue to the wedding shop first and then pick up Zhu Qiuyue's classmates.

Zhu Qiuyue invited four classmates this time, and they all got up early to come to the city area here. However, because they didn't recognize Zhu Qiuyue's home, they asked Zhu Yunxuan to pick him up.

Along the way, these four female classmates naturally talked to Zhu Yunxuan. In their opinion, Zhu Qiuyue's luck was really good. Her boyfriend Zhao Xiaoqiang graduated two years earlier than her, but he was able to buy a house in Hangzhou. He probably would get better and better in the future. However, they were a little confused about Zhu Qiuyue's wedding in her hometown.

"In the countryside, as long as we have never held a banquet in our hometown and invited relatives to share things, even if we have already had a certificate outside and gave birth to a baby, in the eyes of our relatives, it is not considered a marriage." Zhu Yunxuan spoke.

"That's it!" Someone chattered and asked about the details of the wedding. Unfortunately, Zhu Yunxuan didn't know much.

On this day, Zhao Xiaoqiang would set out from the Zhu family and then go to his own home to greet Zhu Qiuyue, so after Zhu Qiuyue put on makeup, he went to Zhao Xiaoqiang's home with his classmates.

Those classmates knew that Zhu Qiuyue’s family was well off, but this was the first time they knew that Zhu Qiuyue still had to hire a husband, but they couldn’t understand it. Zhao Xiaoqiang had a good job after graduating from a prestigious university, so why would he be willing to join someone else’s family?

"It should be a matter of customs." Zhu Qiuyue spoke. In fact, she could see that Zhao Xiaoqiang's stepmother was not concerned about Zhao Xiaoqiang's marriage. Zhao Xiaoqiang's father had no penny in his hands. If Zhao Xiaoqiang wanted to marry, they would probably not be able to get a penny. Of course, Zhao Xiaoqiang could also get married in Hangzhou and find a wife who was willing to fight with him. However, he also had a younger brother. When he first graduated, he had to support his younger brother's schooling, and now he had to worry about his younger brother's house... So Zhu Yunxuan "lent" them to their house in Hangzhou, and then he would deduct the loan from his salary every month.

And to be honest, there are many cases of having children here. If one family has one, some girls will refuse to give birth to a second child after giving birth to a child with their surname!

"That's right." Someone nodded in agreement. They also saw the situation of ups and downs. To be honest, it was really a waste, and many of them were just for the sake of face.

Zhao Xiaoqiang came to marry him at around nine o'clock.

The Zhao family, the door was closed, waiting for him to stuff enough red envelopes before opening the door. There was also a basket next to them for children to put in pairs of coins.

Zhao Xiaoqiang's father and stepmother brought the same jewelry to Zhu Qiuyue, and then Zhao Xiaoqiang's younger brother carried Zhu Qiuyue into the car. After returning to the Zhu family, he would worship the church, worship ancestors, wash his face... and even launder money.

There are eight wedding cars, an off-road vehicle for the photographer to ride and a truck loaded with dowry. Li Rui and Zhu Yunxuan both had to help drive the wedding car.

Because they had to take videos, the bride and groom went to a nearby park in the afternoon. In the evening, the two had to eat back and forth on the tables of both families and toast all the guests.

Zhu Yunjin followed Zhao Xiaoqiang and helped him get the cigarette he wanted to distribute, but Zhu Yunxuan and Li Rui were holding bags of things that had been packed long ago and distributed to each guest.

In the bag, there were a pack of cigarettes, two packs of wedding candies, a pack of peanuts, a pack of red dates, red eggs and other things, which were usually made up in ten or eight ways.

In the end, of course, it was a bridal chamber.

Zhu Yunxuan and Li Rui were busy for a day and no longer cared about the bridal chamber. After Jiang Yuexiu and Zhu Chengcai helped collect vegetables, wash dishes, clean the rented tables and chairs, they all went back to the room to rest early.

"Every time I attend a wedding, I can get back countless candies and cigarettes... No one in my family likes to eat them." Zhu Chengcai has quit smoking, and Zhu Yunxuan and Zhu Yunjin don't smoke, but at the wedding, they help bring dowry to cigarettes, drive to cigarettes, and help bring vegetables to cigarettes, and even give cigarettes when they drink wedding banquets... Now, they can probably only give these cigarettes to others.

"It's okay to have a happy wedding, Yunxuan, do you want to have a wedding too?" Li Rui asked. Although he had to admit that it was too troublesome to hold a wedding in the countryside, he still wanted to have a grand wedding with Zhu Yunxuan.

"Think about it," Zhu Yunxuan nodded, then overwhelmed Li Rui, "Do you have any idea? You seemed to have sneaked to see the ring some time ago, right?"

"How did you know I'm going to see the ring? I just want to give you a surprise!"

"I knew that day... Also, I'm not interested in surprise. My dear, it's better to be honest and be lenient." Zhu Yunxuan stuck out his tongue and licked Li Rui's neck gently.

"Well, didn't I say that before, when we have the strength, will I release the news of our marriage on all the websites we invest in?" Li Rui hesitated.

Zhu Yunxuan kissed the other party: "You are crazy!" But he liked it very much.

"Dear," Li Rui said with a bitter face, "I just want to sleep today..."
Chapter completed!
