no longer ordinary friends

The night before the wedding.

Zhou Zhicheng was lying on her little bed. Tomorrow, she was going to move out of the room that had accompanied her for more than 20 years, and went to her and Jiang Xianghuai's new home. She didn't feel much sadness, after all, it was very close to Zhou's house, and every day she still I want to come back for dinner.

She received a message from Jiang Xianghuai: "Are you nervous, Chengcheng?"

"Not nervous, but I can't sleep." Zhou Zhicheng paused, then asked, "Will your parents come?"

Jiang Xianghuai: "I don't know, I told them, but I didn't tell me if they would come or not, but my aunt and Zhao Yanjia are already here, and Zhao Yanjia will be the best man tomorrow."

Zhou Zhicheng thought about getting up early tomorrow to put on makeup, so he decided to sleep for a while, so that his skin condition would be better.

Marriage is really a big event. After the Spring Festival, the Zhou family began to prepare for the wedding. She was busy with work. Basically, Jiang Xianghuai and Cai Ama were busy preparing together, setting the venue, banquets, finding a wedding company, and choosing wedding candies. There are many wedding customs and etiquettes in Nanri County, such as souvenirs, invitations, etc., and special gifts for others to come with gift money, and even the layout of the new house.

Zhou Zhicheng was thinking about it when another vibration came from his phone. It was Jiang Xianghuai.

He called just to hear her voice: "Good night, wife."

"Good night, you've worked hard these days." Zhou Zhicheng said this with a guilty conscience. Marriage is a matter between two people, but she doesn't seem to be much involved.

Jiang Xianghuai chuckled: "I get married once in my life, and it's worth the hard work."

The night was silent, and the occasional dog barking was particularly obvious. She heard the dog barking outside the window and through the receiver. She was startled and asked, "Where are you?"

Before he could answer, she got out of bed with bare feet, ran to the window, and looked downstairs. Under the familiar streetlight again, there stood the person she was so familiar with.

He seemed to have sensed it, and raised his head to look over.

The moonlight is bright tonight, and this street lamp has just been repaired, and the light is bright. That's why he couldn't see the little face in the window on the second floor clearly. He only knew that she opened the window and poked her head out. Although he was far away, he seemed to smell the scent of her body after bathing.

He... misses her.

She asked him on the phone: "Jiang Xianghuai, what are you doing standing downstairs?"

Jiang Xianghuai came back to his senses, suddenly thought of something, turned his back directly, thankful that he didn't see her face clearly just now, he replied: "Come here and tie a red ribbon for this street lamp, fulfill my wish, I'll go back to the hotel first, the night before the wedding Can't meet."

The old man said that after meeting on the eve of the wedding, couples tend to quarrel and separate.

Zhou Zhicheng laughed: "Did you use the street lamp as a matchmaker?" She teased, "Then did you give people red envelopes?"

He was serious: "Yes, I hung up a red envelope of 666 yuan."

"When I wake up tomorrow, the red envelope will be gone."

He thought very openly: "If it is gone, I will make it up tomorrow. There is no shortage of money."

He didn't dare to look back at her, and walked forward blindly, his voice in the receiver was gentle: "See you tomorrow, wife."

"Well, see you tomorrow." When she was about to hang up, she called softly, "Husband."

After finishing the words, she was satisfied to see the figure downstairs stopped in her tracks.

Jiang Xianghuai's voice was hoarse and forbearing: "Chengcheng, tomorrow night, tomorrow night I will..."

What happened tomorrow night, he didn't say anything.

But now Zhou Zhicheng is no longer the ignorant girl she was back then. She has come into contact with clients who dumped a bunch of sex videos of their partners cheating on their lawyers without saying a word, and she has also done endless spicy sex videos. In the case of obscenity and pornography with small eye videos, even if the strange parties suddenly have to submit pornographic video evidence in court, she can calmly comment with the judge.

She smiled meaningfully: "As far as I know, the groom's wedding night is not allowed."

"Really?" He also smiled, with a long smile, "You will find out tomorrow night."

It was bound to be a sleepless night.

Just as Zhou Zhicheng was about to go back to bed, Grandma Cai was knocking on the door and whispered, "Chengcheng, are you still awake? Why is the light still on?"

Grandma Cai and Grandpa Zhou were upset and couldn't sleep.

Zhou Zhicheng went to their room, the incandescent lamp was bright, the big bed was scattered with things, there were photos, boxes, notebooks, and many little things related to her that she looked familiar...

Grandfather Zhou asked Zhou Zhicheng to sit down, and he asked, "Do you remember these things?"

Aunt Cai said from the side: "Your grandpa has been watching these things all night, and he won't sleep, and he won't let me sleep. At first, he made a fuss in the middle of the night and wanted to call Jiang Xianghuai, saying that grandpa had something to tell him. It's really crazy, the groom's official has been so tired recently that he even went to quarrel with him."

Grandpa Zhou didn't quarrel with her, he was deeply moved, held back his emotions, and picked up a photo. In the photo, Zhou Zhicheng, who was over two years old, was wearing a small skirt, sitting on a mat, drinking winter melon tea hard, and couldn't even look at it. look at the camera.

He laughed: "At this time, you really like to drink winter melon tea, and you are chubby and greedy. If you don't drink up the drink in one breath, you won't be willing to look up. It's so cute. Going out to do private work is just thinking about earning money for drinks for Chengcheng."

He turned his head and found another painting that had been overmolded in the photo album: "This is the first painting you gave to grandpa and grandma. You drew it in kindergarten. Grandpa took it to plastic at that time. Look, How well preserved it is, on it are Grandpa, Grandma, you and brother."

"This is the Mathematics Olympiad certificate you got in the first grade of elementary school. Grandpa knew at that time that we Chengcheng is a young genius who can read. It was the first time you participated in the LOGO computer design competition in the urban area in the third grade of elementary school, so you won it." The second prize won a group of fifth and sixth graders, and all the teachers like you very much."

"This is your award-winning essay in the fourth grade. You wrote about grandpa and grandma. Grandpa read the composition the other day and was so moved that he almost fainted. Your grandma didn't know a lot of big characters, so she told others everywhere. We Chengcheng wrote her Entered the award-winning composition, our conditions are not good, the school is not good, you are outstanding, the day you went to participate in the competition, you woke up early, your Chinese teacher drove you on a motorcycle, and rode dozens of kilometers before arriving at the city. inside."

"This is your birthday present to Grandpa, a scallop shell. You said that you and Jiang Li found it after searching for it on the beach for a long time. There is also your engraved happy birthday on it."

Zhou Zhicheng lowered her eyes and smiled softly, her handwriting was crooked and ugly.

She picked up the notebook she was very familiar with. Grandpa always attended her parent meetings since she was a child. He took this notebook with him and recorded the teacher's evaluation of her seriously.

"Chengcheng had a parent-teacher meeting in the first semester of first grade. The weather was fine. The teacher praised her as a smart child who can read. Like her brother, she loves to talk in class."

"Chengcheng is in the first year of junior high school. Old man Zhang sent his grandson to study in a private middle school in the city. He blamed me for not being able to do it. Fortunately, Chengcheng is up to the challenge. Her teacher said that even if she is in the county junior high school, she will definitely be able to enter the city's provincial key high school."

……

Until her grades in high school declined, Grandpa was not allowed to hold a parent-teacher meeting.

Her eyes were hazy, and tears welled up suddenly.

"Chengcheng went to a key school in the province. I didn't go to hold a parent-teacher meeting for her, because I'm old, I don't know high school, and I haven't seen much of the world. If I don't go, I won't go. I can't embarrass Chengcheng and let others know her. Pop never went to high school."

"Chengcheng's first semester of high school, I still didn't go to the parent-teacher meeting. Chengcheng's grades have regressed, and it's fine if she doesn't study. She can go to work, open a shop, and go abroad with her parents to make money. I told the old woman that I can't scold her. Chengcheng, Chengcheng is the most powerful and best child in Grandpa and Grandma's heart."

Her tears fell on the notebook with a "click", wet the paper, and the ink and ink of the words were dense.

Cai Mei quickly wiped her tears with a tissue, and complained: "Why are you crying? I'm crying now. The makeup artist will come at five o'clock later, but I can't put on makeup."

Zhou Zhicheng took a deep breath, raised his head, and held back his tears.

Cai Mei continued: "Originally, your grandpa wanted to find Xiang Huai to come and talk to him after cleaning up these things, and let him take good care of you in the future. Grandpa and grandma have taken care of you for more than 20 years, and the next life will be handed over to Xiang Huai. But later, grandma thought, why bother? Just getting married, how can you give your life to others, no matter how old you are, whether you are married or not, you are grandpa and grandma’s life, grandpa and grandpa Nanny will continue to love you, it's just that you have an extra husband who loves you, and you can live a good life with Xiang Huai in the future, marriage is about understanding and supporting each other, you know?"

"Yeah." Zhou Zhicheng nodded.

Grandpa Zhou took off his glasses, wiped away his tears, and said with a choked voice, "Chengcheng, look, a one-dollar coin."

Zhou Zhicheng glanced at the old coin.

Cai Mei said angrily: "Old man Zhou, you can't finish. Your granddaughter's shit is delicious, right? It's the first time that the kindergarten stole one yuan from your wallet and wanted to buy soybean cakes on the street. Didn't steal it?" Cheng, you have kept this dollar as a family heirloom for more than 20 years?"

"It's also the first time to steal money. It's the first time to commemorate every time in her life. Do you understand? It doesn't make sense with a woman like you." The unyielding old man Zhou said with a stiff neck, "I'll just see, I'm so The little one, Chengcheng, has grown so big in one fell swoop, she is going to get married and become an adult."

Cai Mei: "It's okay, you can go with the dowry and see if anyone wants you, a bad old man."

Zhou Zhicheng laughed through tears.

……

An hour later, Zhou Zhicheng left from the room of her grandparents, Zhou Bingcheng, Jiang Li and her parents were sitting in the living room waiting for her.

Seeing that her eyes were red, Zhou Bingcheng deliberately asked, "Grandpa and grandma gave you money from your house? It's a lot of money, it made you cry."

She glared at him, and then he smiled and stroked her hair: "My sister is going to get married."

Zhou's mother said: "You should be happy when you get married, so everyone is not allowed to cry during the day tomorrow. Splashing water and crying for marriage are all old social customs."

Hearing the word "cry", Zhou Zhicheng finally vented the tears she had held back for a long time, and she hugged Zhou Bingcheng in front of her.

Zhou Bingcheng hugged her gently, and smiled: "You are crying now, I am afraid that after I finish speaking, you will cry even worse."

"Then tell me." Zhou Zhicheng's voice was muffled, "What do you have to impress me?"

"It's not touching, I'm afraid it will make you cry. After all, a certain person has a bad temper. He is lawless at home, and he is so cowardly outside. Do you know that Zhou Zhicheng's brother was very tired and hard? Always worry about her Is it because I was bullied that I dare not say it, and I have to save my pocket money to buy her useless romance novels and hairpins, care about her a little more, and be complained by her that she has no freedom and human rights? He also loves to be stinky, and when he is stinky, he likes to ask questions, and when asked, he says it's ugly, and then he becomes angry and beats people..."

Sure enough, Zhou Zhicheng got angry, and after a set of procedures, he punched Zhou Bingcheng hard on the chest.

Zhou Bingcheng was in pain: "You will get married tomorrow and I will carry you out. Believe it or not, I will throw you to pieces tomorrow."

"Li Li, sister-in-law..."

Jiang Li coughed lightly: "Zhou Bingcheng."

Zhou Bingcheng immediately settled down.

The next morning to pick up the bride, Zhou Zhicheng wore a red wedding dress according to the custom. Zhou Bingcheng carried her out of the Zhou family. Jiang Li stood next to her and held a red umbrella for her, implying auspiciousness. Finally, Jiang Xiang hugged her. She arrived in the wedding car.

Their hands were tightly held, and the people who were shaking their heads were all people she was familiar with.

"Lawyer Zhou, happy wedding."

"Chengcheng, be happy."

Grandma Cai was busy distributing wedding candy to everyone, Grandpa Zhou prepared a lot of cigarettes to distribute, Father Zhou was researching how to spray flower petals and ribbons to make it more romantic, Mother Zhou was entertaining guests, and Jiang Li was arranging the wedding dress for Zhou Zhicheng.

Zhao Yanjia was the only one who shed tears when receiving the marriage.

Because he witnessed his brother's changes along the way, he was so happy that he shed tears.

The wedding is right by the sea.

Zhou Zhicheng changed into a white wedding dress. She stood at the beginning of the long road of flowers, and the end was her husband who was anxiously waiting for her and who would love her all his life.

They didn't hire a master of ceremonies, because they were worried that the master of ceremonies would be sensational and embarrassing the scene, so they didn't want it at all, so the important task of hosting was handed over to the multi-talented young master Zhao. Hosted the New Year's Eve party.

The big screen on the stage is playing the law popularization documentary filmed last year. This variety show documentary is currently on the air. While grassroots lawyers are seen, the beautiful Nanri County and interesting folk customs have also attracted many tourists to check in. Zhao Yanjia The young master also has a fan support club on the Internet. His account only posted two promotional Weibo, and immediately attracted millions of fans. Who doesn't like a rich, handsome, and mentally ill lawyer?

But Young Master Zhao didn't care about these at all, and he was pulling Ye Bai to sing songs on stage without any burden.

"Two people shine on each other, and the light is better than the stars at night. I climb mountains and mountains for you, but I don't care about the scenery. I miss you..."

"I think I have grown to like you, because I have the courage to love..."

Zhou Zhicheng couldn't help thinking that even the BGM money was saved.

When Zhao Yanjia sang "Today I will marry you...", Zhou Zhicheng slowly walked towards Jiang Xianghuai. He kept looking at her, only seeing her, and when she walked up to him, his eyes were already red .

He pursed his lips and smiled, restrained his trembling, and put on the diamond ring for her.

Zhao Yanjia handed the microphone to Jiang Xianghuai.

Jiang Xianghuai didn't know what to say for a moment. He had prepared the speech at the wedding for a long time, and he knew it by heart. His Adam's apple rolled, and everyone in the audience looked at him, including his parents.

They still came.

He choked up a bit: "It was more than ten years ago when I first saw my wife. At that time, she had dyed her hair pink and had the rebellious face of a kid. Some people might say yes, non-mainstream. Spiritual little girl, but I only have one thought, that she is so cute, I didn't realize until a long time later that fate told me at that time that she was my destined person."

"Many people think that I am saving the rebellious girl, but in fact she has been saving me all along."

"My wife Zhou Zhicheng, as you can see and know, she is sincere, brave, dedicated, and kind. There are so many beautiful things in her. Before I met her, I often felt that I was not favored by fate, but I How lucky to be able to marry her and become her husband."

……

The toasting at the wedding banquet lasted until after eleven o'clock in the evening.

Zhou Zhicheng was so sleepy that she couldn't keep her eyelids open, she didn't want to do anything now, she just wanted to lie on the bed and sleep, but the groom, Guan Jiang Xianghuai, was full of energy, and even remembered the conversation between the two last night, he resisted when he entered the door She kissed her lips, turned around, sucked the tip of her tongue, and asked with a vague smile, "Huh? Even on the groom's wedding day?"

Zhou Zhicheng begged for mercy and acted like a baby: "I'm sleepy."

Jiang Xianghuai hugged her upright, and coaxed her in a low voice, "I'll take you to take a bath."

But his body didn't say that. Hard objects pressed against her, rubbing against each other while walking, she moaned unconsciously, and her whole body softened into a puddle of water.

He put her in the bathtub, the mist was steaming, the heat was dense, and the water was slowly filling.

She put her arms around his waist so that she would not slip and fall into the water. With her eyes closed, she leaned against his chest and let him bathe her. He asked, "Are you still sleepy?"

"Sleepy."

He said in a low voice, "Your heartbeat is still so fast when you're sleepy?" His hand was on the lump of softness, and he washed it slowly. When he lowered his head, the other hand pinched her chin, and plundered the space between her lips and teeth. breath.

Emotional ups and downs, just like a lonely boat on the sea in a storm, when she was pushed to the highest point of lust, she had already given up struggling, only gasping for breath.

Two years after their marriage, Zhou Zhicheng gave birth to a daughter, named Zhou Chengle, named by Jiang Xianghuai's mother, from the Book of Songs.

When Zhou Zhicheng was pregnant, she was still busy with work. Jiang Xianghuai didn't stop her, but stopped her own business and followed her, working as her life and work assistant, driving pick-up and drop-off, cooking and delivering meals, searching for laws and regulations, Jiang Xianghuai, who was very capable of learning while carrying the files, also frantically read the encyclopedia of pregnant women and parenting knowledge.

Zhou Zhicheng's morning sickness was not obvious, and he could still eat and drink, but his temper became strange, and he always got angry at Jiang Xianghuai for no reason. Occasionally, when he saw his face, he still wanted to vomit, so he told him to go away, but he drove away After him, he will be a little sad again and call him back, but fortunately he will never get angry because of it.

After the daughter was born, he basically took care of her.

As soon as everyone saw Jiang Xianghuai, they could understand how painful and great it is to bring up a child. The inhuman work intensity of the capital once failed to get him out of dark circles, but his daughter did it in a month. With the help of the confinement wife and aunt.

After Zhou Chengle was born, Jiang Heng came to Nanri County to see her several times, and each time he would only leave a large sum of money silently and send her a bunch of little girl's clothes and toys. He didn't want to admit that he liked her. , but everyone could see the joy in his eyes.

After the child Zhou Chengle was one year old, she often followed her father to solicit customers in the Internet celebrity cafe in Nanri County.

Her father was wearing a white shirt and a black apron, making coffee, and she was sitting in the baby chair, kicking her legs and clapping her hands excitedly, smiling sweetly at the tourists who came to drink coffee, and sometimes she seemed to be jumping out of the chair with joy As if going out, the nanny aunt who was on the side hurriedly protected her.

Li Yafang had just finished serving a cup of coffee to the guests, and she couldn't help bending over and smiling at Zhou Chengle: "What are you happy about? Do you like the girls?"

The little princess Zhou Chengle couldn't understand, she just blinked her black grape-like eyes and smiled, opening her mouth to drool.

Li Yafang was so cute: "It's so cute, just like sister Zhou."

Jiang Xianghuai also bent his eyes and smiled.

Since his documentary program became popular, he has become a trend on the Internet from time to time.

The first time he became popular because of his professional aura as a partner of the capital law firm, the second time he became popular because of the video of him making coffee in a coffee shop wearing a mask, and this time he became popular because he is a good father who loves his daughter.

He didn't quite understand why he became popular, but it caused him little trouble. On the contrary, his published books were out of stock and reprinted. Nanri County, his coffee shop, and Cai Ama's canteen have also become popular tourist spots on the Internet. Check in.

This can be regarded as his small contribution to Nanri County.

He looked at his soft daughter, and the father and daughter looked at each other. He said, "We have to learn from our mother, you know?"

The little princess Zhou Chengle yawned sleepily.
