Three or Two Things about Rebirth

Qiu Luming did not enter the new house again. She went downstairs and stood under a tree. She saw the pregnant woman from the Lu family being sent home with a pout on her face.

Several junior high school classmates came up to her and greeted her with smiles. Qin Huifang's only female friends were Qiu Luming and Han Meifen, so all the people who came today were male classmates.

"Hey Qiu Luming, was that you dancing at the Russian show last month?"

"When you were in school, you couldn't even memorize Russian conversations. How come I heard recently that you are about to graduate from the Russian college class?"

"I'm Gao Yang, the one sitting in front of you. You haven't forgotten all your old classmates, have you?"

"You remember your third brother hitting me in the nose and making it bleed, right? We were in the first grade at that time. I wanted to carry your schoolbag for you, but you refused and pinched my arm. You begged me for mercy but he still pinched me. When I went to bed that night, I saw bruises all over my body! Your third brother beat me up again the next day!"

"Hey, your third brother is in Beijing now, why don't you go to Beijing?"

"You are in the library, right? I will graduate next year, and I will borrow books from you then!"

Ma Mingjun and Zheng Wei also came over. When the boys gathered together, they would smoke. Zheng Wei took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and distributed them to everyone. Qiu Luming quickly hid back and stood under another tree. She didn't like the smell of cigarettes.

"Why didn't I see Yang Dawei? Was he expelled from your gang?" Gao Yang took out a lighter and lit cigarettes for his classmates one by one.

"This guy didn't come back during the summer vacation. He seemed to be missing from us! Let's not mention him!" said Ma Mingjun.

"Yang Dawei is such a mean guy. He has to come back when his good friend is getting married. Hey? I haven't heard that these two are engaged before. The marriage must be a sudden decision. What's going on? Did someone get killed? Hahahaha..."

"Don't talk nonsense, what can happen? They have known each other for more than 20 years, they are childhood sweethearts and well-matched, so marriage is a natural thing." Ma Mingjun put away his smile and blew a puff of smoke at Gao Yang, "You'd better stop talking nonsense, do you believe that Qin Huifang's second brother can kill you!"

"Haha!" Gao Yang laughed. "Am I a bad-mouthed person? I just asked if you believe me. If you don't want to tell me, forget it. Why are you so anxious?"

"Watch your mouth. If you dare to go out and talk nonsense and cause trouble for Old Lu, believe it or not, you won't even be able to find a job when you graduate!" Zheng Wei pointed at his nose and said contemptuously.

"Fuck!" Gao Yang was so angry that he threw his cigarette to the ground and rushed towards Zheng Wei. Several classmates pulled him back and advised him, "Old Gao, Old Gao, today is Lu Jiaming and Qin Huifang's wedding day, calm down! Calm down!"

Zheng Wei didn't move his feet at all. He snorted and flicked away the cigarette butt. "You, you want to hit me? Come here, come and try it! Damn it, you're a first-grade elementary school hooligans, let me see if I can beat you to death today!"

"Old Zheng!" Ma Mingjun called him.

Zheng Wei tilted his head and sighed, "Today is not the right time. You can wait until tomorrow. We will fight tomorrow."

"Okay! Tomorrow! Whoever doesn't dare to go is a grandson!"

Several elders from the Lu family came over and greeted them with a smile, "Young men, you are all Jiaming's classmates, right? Thank you for coming to support us. You are here to help from your mother's family and your husband's family! Oh, no, you are the one carrying a big bag of soybeans..."

"Yes, yes! I was wrong, I was really wrong! We were just joking, just flirting, how could we bear to really fight! Well, let's go to the hotel to help pour tea!" After saying that, he grabbed a few classmates, got on his bicycle and ran away.

"You little bastard!" The elder of the Lu family scolded him with a smile, and then asked Ma Mingjun, "Are you from my mother's family?"

Ma Mingjun nodded, "Nominally it's my mother's family, but in fact my mother's family and my husband's family are more important. Uncle, if you have something to do, just order us around!"

"You are the second son of Director Ma of the Post and Telecommunications Bureau, right? Don't worry, I'm just afraid that you two will fight."

Ma Mingjun smiled and said, "No, just scare them."

Ma Mingjun and Zheng Wei finished chatting with the elders and walked up to Qiu Luming. "Yang Dawei is really not a good guy. He hasn't even sent a letter in the whole summer!"

Qiu Luming laughed, "He went to two places, one was to go on vacation with his girlfriend, and the other was to go to the south to make money."

Ma Mingjun laughed, "That might really be the case."

At this time, the bride and groom were escorted downstairs.

Qiu Luming still sat in the second Jetta car, still sitting with his cousin Qin Huifang, and the convoy drove towards the Friendship Hotel in a mighty manner.

When the cousin saw Qiu Luming, she said with dismay, "She is so mean! How can there be such a person! The more you forbid her to do something, the more she will do it! Just now, her husband's family sincerely apologized and said that they had specifically told Xiaomei not to come to the new house or go to the restaurant, but she didn't listen and walked to the new house by herself!"

My younger sister who was helping to look after the new house said that the woman came earlier than the bride's family. As soon as she came in, she looked through the cabinets one by one, rummaged through the clothes, turned on the TV, searched the refrigerator, and even used the toilet. As soon as my younger sister turned around, she went back to the bedroom and sat on the bed, bouncing around a few times and saying that the Simmons mattress was so comfortable. My younger sister was only seventeen years old, but she refused to leave no matter how hard she tried to chase her away. She was so angry that she cried. Oh, it made me so angry!"

Qiu Luming was also very angry. Although she didn't know what was wrong with a pregnant woman attending a wedding, since the bride minded, outsiders should still respect her.

Therefore, it is hard not to think that the pregnant woman Xiaomei's behavior was malicious.

"Is Huifang angry?" Qiu Luming asked.

"No, she didn't say a word. But, based on my understanding of her, she will definitely vent her anger by the time she returns home." My cousin rolled her eyes contemptuously outside the car, as if the pregnant woman Xiaomei was right outside the car on the side of the road and would be met with a devastating counterattack from Qin Huifang in the next second.

When the motorcade arrived at the Friendship Hotel, the bride and groom got out of the car and took photos and videos beside the Mercedes-Benz, while the bride's family got out of the car and walked into the hotel lobby. Forty-nine brides sat at six tables, and at each table there were two eloquent in-laws who warmly and attentively invited the bride's family to smoke, eat candy and eat melon seeds.

Four young men came out one after another, carrying large teapots. They were each responsible for an area and began to refill tea at each table. Gao Yang was in charge of the tables near the window and had never come to his mother's house.

Qiu Luming's ears twitched twice, and he stood up and quietly walked towards a small single room. He knocked on the door, and Han Meifen asked from inside, "Who is it?"

"it's me!"

The door opened.

There were only Qin Huifang and Han Meifen in the single room.

Qin Huifang had changed out of her layered white wedding dress and removed her pastel-colored head flower, and put on a festive red suit and red high heels. She pinned a red head flower on the left side of her bun, which circled half a circle around the bun and hung down.

Seeing Qiu Luming, she smiled and gulped down half a glass of water. Qiu Luming snatched the glass away and said, "That's enough. It's hard to go to the toilet in this outfit."

Qiu Luming put the cup further away and asked, "Are you tired, Huifang?"

"Too tired!" Qin Huifang said bitterly, "I had my hair done yesterday and didn't go to bed until 11pm. I got up at 3am this morning to put on makeup. I have three pounds of hairpins on my head! I used a whole bottle of hairspray. I'm not kidding you. Before, those corn and soybeans hit my head downstairs in the new house, but it didn't hurt at all, haha! But I'm so sleepy now, I just want to take my hair off and go to bed." At this point, Qin Huifang yawned loudly and poked her hair with her nails, but she didn't even scratch her scalp. She stamped her feet in anger, "The hairspray is all on my scalp, it's itchy!"

Qiu Luming yawned as well, and Han Meifen was also infected and yawned with tears in her eyes, "It was less than five o'clock, and my dad sent me to Huifang's house. I'm sleepy too."

Lu Jiaming came in from outside, holding a pair of disposable chopsticks, "Wife! Try this!"

Qin Huifang was so angry that her face turned pale. "Didn't I ask you to find a knitting needle? How can you scratch it with such a thick chopstick?"

"Where are the knitting needles in the hotel? I found you a toothpick..."

"Get lost! You can't accomplish anything!"

"Wife...don't be angry, we are fine, there is no ceremony yet, when we are done we go home, you can beat me however you want, if I frown I am your son!"
