innocent year

"You must have a marriage certificate!" The aunt began to educate everyone about the law, "If you don't have a certificate, you're playing hooligans if you sleep together! What do you think makes sense?"

Some people booed Yangzi outside the yard and said yes.

"Oh," Chen Lei nodded, then turned around and shouted, "Yingzi!"

"Hey." A soft answer came from the back room.

Chen Lei: "Do we have a certificate?"

Zhou Yingying: "There should be, I'll look for it."

Aunt Qian: "..."

After a while, Zhou Yingying opened the door and came out, and gave Chen Lei two red books.At this time, together with Xu Minghai and Qiu Shi, the four stood together like a family.

"You always check to see if it is a fake certificate issued under the bridge." Chen Lei handed over the red book.

"Okay brother!" The two policemen rushed forward immediately, smiling openly, "We don't let us miss such a big happy event, don't you look down on your brother?"

"Your sister-in-law has a thin face, and she always feels embarrassed to bring up this matter with drums and drums all over the world." After Chen Lei finished speaking, he asked Aunt Qian, "Is it true?"

Aunt Qian blushed and handed the certificate back to Chen Lei, her voice suddenly changed from shouting slogans to whimpering: "How can I tell if it's true or not?"

"Don't say that, I think you have a sharp eye." Chen Lei took back the marriage certificate, and then yelled at the Westinghouse where the lights were on, "Li Yandong, do you want to see it?"

Just like voice control, with a "snap", Westinghouse immediately went dark.

"Oh, by the way, Aunt Qian." Chen Lei looked away, and called out to the person who was trying to escape, "Your younger generation is getting married, so why don't you take part in it?"

"The one who turned back, the one who turned back, ha ha." Aunt Qian played sloppy.

Chen Lei then ignored her and shouted directly at the gate of the courtyard: "Since everyone is here today, choosing a day is worse than hitting the sun, so I just open the skylight and speak honestly. I, Chen Shitou, have liked Zhou Yingying since I was a child, and I like it." It’s been more than 30 years. Now that we have obtained the certificate, Zhou Yingying is my daughter-in-law and my lover no matter whether the wine is served or not. I know that there are people in this alley who like to gossip and inquire about the affairs of other people’s shops. It’s okay , please don’t let me hear what you like to say. But if I hear it, don’t blame me on the street for not showing face to some people.”

Immediately, someone outside clapped their hands and whistled and yelled, it was as lively as a football game.Aunt Qian returned home under the ridicule of everyone, scolding the idiot who reported it ten thousand times in her heart.

The night of chicken and dog jumping passed like this.On the weekend, Chen Lei and Zhou Yingying rode on the bike, took Xu Minghai and Qiu Shi, and ran to Qianmen Street together.

At this time, just before noon, the sun was warming on his body, and it smelled sweet like cotton candy.So Xu Minghai, who was sitting on the back seat of the bicycle, opened his mouth very wide, felt the wind with his tongue and teeth, and vividly explained what mentally handicapped children have more fun.

When they rode to Lingjing Alley, Chen Lei raised his finger, and everyone's attention was attracted by the paper kites floating in the air.The four hearts seemed to be tied up and flew to the clear blue sky at once, and they danced freely in the wind with this colorful phoenix.

The incident of "prostitution and whoring" that broke out a few nights ago was quite influential.So many people think that Chen Lei deliberately built the plank road openly and kept Chen Cang in secret.Anyway, my daughter-in-law is confident that I have it, so I deliberately conceal it first, in order to let the gossiping masses expose themselves.

No, three times, five times and two times, the old enemy, Aunt Qian, will be ashamed.Now she is being run over by other old ladies in the neighborhood committee during the day, and being beaten by her son when she returns home at night. She can hardly hold her head up.So when the big guys met Chen Lei in the alley, they couldn't help casting admiring glances at him.

But the actual situation is that when Zhou Yingying went to find Chen Lei that day, she was completely like a moth to a flame.So what happened later was naturally a matter of course, moistening things silently.

So on the second day after returning from Beihai Park, Chen Lei took Zhou Yingying to get the certificate, as if he was afraid that the Civil Affairs Bureau would run away.When he got the red book, he wanted to treat his daughter-in-law to a decent ceremony with wine.But Zhou Yingying said stop serving wine, let's take a "wedding photo".

This is a recent trend.Zhou Yingying felt that the two of them stood together and left a loving look, which was much warmer than a chaotic treat and toast.

So Chen Lei went to the best Dabei photo studio at that time to register, and made an appointment to take wedding photos.I thought I'd wait until I got the photos before officially announcing it to everyone.Who would have thought that someone would call at the door before the photo was taken.So Chen Lei simply cooked it all together.

At the end of that night, when the situation became clear, the crowd gradually dispersed, leaving only the two policemen and Chen Leipoong.Xiao Qi kept asking when the wine would be set up, and was very depressed when she learned that they were not going to set up the wine and only planned to take a photo.Really, I still think about drinking and making trouble in the bridal chamber!

Xu Minghai heard about the photo taking with his ears pricked up, so he rushed to join in the fun. ? This time Li Yandong didn't stop him. Before he set off, he gave a few instructions with a guilty conscience, and then went back to the house, which made Xu Minghai very uncomfortable.

For ordinary people, whether it is marrying a wife or taking a wedding dress, it is a happy event, and it is worth taking the children to a restaurant to celebrate.So they walked along the wide and straight Chang'an Avenue all the way, passed the Heping Gate to the south, and finally arrived at "Unique Place".

It was noon at the moment, and there were quite a few people in the shop.When Qiu Shi entered the door, he saw that there were drawers of things like steamed buns on every table.But unlike the steamed stuffed bun, it has layers of folds like a flower on top.

As the four people sat down, a guy came to deliver the menu.Chen Lei then ordered two drawers each of the signature three delicacies, pork, and assorted siu mai, as well as Qianlong cabbage, dry fried meatballs, corn porridge, and white fungus soup.In the end, I specially ordered butter fried cakes for the two children.

While waiting for the food, Xu Minghai told Qiu Shi the origin of Emperor Qianlong and "One Place" by relying on his "rich knowledge".Of course, according to his usual casual style, a good story was told by him in the end, and he didn't rely on it, and he didn't suffer from it. The Nine-Five Lord sounded like a glutton who hasn't had enough food.

And Xu Minghai's fate of running the train with his mouth full was that he was criticized and attacked by Chen Lei, saying that he had changed traditional culture.

But Qiushi was very happy to hear Xu Minghai's nonsense.Immediately, he remembered that he didn't know the taste when he went to Xinqiao Restaurant to eat foreign food that day.It turned out that it wasn't that the western food was bad, but that there was no Xu Minghai around.

When the steaming hot siu mai was served in drawers, Qiu Shi couldn't bear to eat.He carefully picked up a slender waist and folded skirt with chopsticks, and the thin-skinned siu mai, and looked at it for a long time.At the end, I gently pulled it with my teeth, and the fresh and sweet soup was poured into my mouth. The filling and the tough dough instantly occupied Qiu Shi's taste buds.He thought, no wonder Lord Qianlong gave him the name.

As they ate, Xu Minghai begged Chen Lei to talk about the past legends that made people's blood boil.The latter talked about a time when five people went out in their youth and fought with half of the people in the train and won a big victory.Xu Minghai and Qiu Shi were dumbfounded by the thrilling part.

"Fighting is something like this," Chen Lei said, picking up a piece of cabbage with his chopsticks. "When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins. No matter how many people there are on the other side, you are not afraid. As long as the person who is back to back is someone you can trust, there is a chance to turn the tables."

He still wanted to say something, but his wife stopped him in time.

"Is there anyone who educates children like this?" Zhou Yingying glared at him.

Chen Lei then pursed his lips and smiled and said nothing, looking like a cheap and strict wife.There is no way, people are a bit cheap in front of happiness.

In the end, Xu Minghai and Qiu used creamy fried cake as dessert, slipped the white fungus soup, and ate it up.The embarrassment of standing on the side of the road and gnawing on the duck shelf last time was gone.

The four people came out of "One Place", two adults pushing bicycles and two young ones, strolling all the way to the gate of "Dabei" at No. 2 Qianmen Street.

Dabei Photo Studio is a time-honored brand in China, and it has existed since the Republic of China.After so many years, everyone recognizes it, from state leaders to common people.

After entering the door and reporting the number, someone led them inside.When the two children followed the adults into the studio, they thought they had entered the hometown of "Princess Sissi" by mistake.

The ivory white Roman columns reach straight to the sky, and the gorgeous velvet curtains are as bright as blood.The spiral staircase with gold trim on both sides is covered with thick carpet.A very romantic European-style wall lamp is hung on the wall.In addition, there is a sofa in the shape of an assembly line.Absolutely magnificent and dazzling.

The stacking of all these elements suddenly made the house divorced from daily life and the people, and became a foreign country in the dubbed film.

While the staff took Chen Lei and Zhou Yingying to change clothes, Xu Minghai took Qiu Shi and ran up the stairs.They opened the curtain with excitement and saw, hey, it's the wall.But that didn't stop them having fun in the studio, it felt like traveling abroad.Abroad—what a faraway place!

When Xu Minghai used the sofa as a trampoline, Chen Lei and Zhou Yingying appeared.Immediately, the two silly children who had never seen the world opened their mouths in shock again.

Zhou Yingying's floor-length white dress is covered with layers of light gauze, and white gauze and shiny hairpins are pinned to her jet-black hair.Holding a lily in her hand, she has a charming smile and a gentle demeanor.Chen Lei, on the other hand, changed from the comfortable attire of the men in the alleys on weekdays, and wore a neat suit to give full play to the height advantage of northern men.

The two looked at each other for a moment, as if they saw the past passing by like smoke, tears came out of their eyes unconsciously.Endless sighs and joys gave this fake European-style palace the density and texture of true feelings.

What is fate?Maybe it was a sudden heartbeat, a word that was too late or too late to say, a decision without hesitation.Paradoxical and terrifying, helpless and charming.The past can't be recalled, and the bad debts in the world can't be clarified.But fortunately, after half a lifetime, they can still return home together.

The two tried their best to clean up their emotions, and with the help and guidance of the photographer, they posed the classic wedding poses with unskilled movements.

For Qiushi, it seemed that he had finally realized the fact that Zhou Yingying was married until this moment.It made him sad and happy.The sad thing is that my mother is no longer alone, and the happy thing is that there is finally someone who can make her laugh happily and lyrically.Qiu Shi thought, Xu Minghai was not lying, and the wish he made on his birthday could really come true.

But Xu Minghai thought that his godfather looked so handsome in the suit of the foreign devil!Just a little less confident.So he asked Qiu Shi to cooperate with him, and the two of them imitated those beautiful gestures that symbolized love outside the camera to demonstrate to Chen Lei.

Even when Chen Lei was embarrassed to kiss Zhou Yingying in front of outsiders, Xu Minghai set an example by pecking Qiu Shi's bulging cheek.

This led to many years later, every time Xu Minghai drove past Xidan and saw all kinds of wedding photos displayed in the window of the photo studio, he couldn't help but despise him in his heart.Everything, it's all leftovers from my brother's childhood.

After Qiushi let Xu Minghai play with it like a doll for a long time, a thought that he couldn't hide came to his mind.So he ran to his mother after Zhou Yingying and Chen Lei finished taking pictures, and whispered that he wanted everyone to take a picture together here.

Since Qiushi seldom asked for anything, Zhou Yingying knew that he really wanted a group photo.So they discussed it with the photographer Fu, and went downstairs to add some money, directly avoiding the tedious appointment and queuing.

Xu Minghai and Qiushi, who were also wearing white vests and blue sweatpants, and pull-back sneakers, stood in the front row.Zhou Yingying and Chen Lei stood in the back row.The four smiled and posed for family portraits, and Qiu Shi held Xu Minghai's hand tightly.

The master in charge of photography adjusted the lighting, stood behind the large black machine, raised his hand and shouted: "Come on, look at me, good ~ 3, 2, 1!"

The flash lights flicker on and off, engraving the moment of youth, and the beauty with a snap of your fingers.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Minghai and Qiu Shi already had the faces of two teenagers.

The 20s are here.
