"One bow to heaven and earth, two bows to the elders, husband and wife bow to each other, escort into..."
Zhang Weiyang's master deliberately drew out his words. Zhang Weiyang, holding Lin Erdi's red string, quickly took out a red envelope from his pocket. Only then did his master accept it.
"Escort into the bridal chamber!"
"Serve tea."
"The ceremony is complete."
Zhang Weiyang's wedding was conducted in a traditional manner, with everything being red and very festive.
His master's request for a red envelope was also for good luck. A master is like a half-father, and he also treated Zhang Weiyang as a half-son.
Not to mention anything else, for Zhang Weiyang's wedding, his master had given him six towels and two enamel washbasins, which was definitely a display of respect.
"Go, give flowers to Uncle and Aunt. And the red dates and peanuts in your pockets, give them to Uncle and Aunt. Wishing them a happy wedding and an early heir."
Chen Yang didn't bring the two little ones for nothing. Although he only gave a bottle of wine and two hundred yuan as a gift, he also prepared some entertainment.
With so many people, having the two little ones deliver red dates and peanuts was a good omen and also a way to exercise their courage. Sudan Novel Network
Chen Hao was still quite timid when facing strangers. He only became exceptionally clever when there was delicious food.
Chen Yang also wanted to guide his son well and cultivate a more confident personality in him.
In contrast, the little girl was much better. She wasn't afraid of strangers or people she knew.
In fact, parental companionship is the most important aspect of a child's education.
Why do many left-behind children in later generations have problems? Some are disobedient and troublesome, but more are actually low in self-esteem.
Even if some of them are sensible, study hard, and even achieve good grades, and get into good universities, the inferiority complex still troubles them.
Their parents were not around since they were young. When something happened, they had no parents to back them up. If other children bullied them, they wouldn't dare to tell their grandparents when they got home.
If they did tell, and their grandparents couldn't help them vent their anger, the child would bottle everything up, afraid to speak, thus developing a low self-esteem.
This inferiority and lack of confidence would cause them to miss many opportunities, including but not limited to career and love.
For some opportunities they could have seized, they dared not because of their low self-esteem. They would subconsciously think they were not good enough.
Chen Yang didn't want his son to lack confidence in the future, so he wanted him to perform more often in front of crowds, and it would also bring good luck to Zhang Weiyang. It was killing two birds with one stone.
"Wishing Uncle and Aunt a happy wedding and an early heir!"
The two little ones, well-behaved and cute, holding flowers, presented them to Zhang Weiyang and Lin Erdi, instantly drawing a round of applause from everyone.
After all, the blessings from children are very sincere. Who wouldn't like them?
"Thank you, thank you Yanyan and Haohao."
Zhang Weiyang didn't expect Chen Yang to give him such a surprise. He had just taken the flowers and was about to take out a red envelope.
The two little ones then took out a handful of red dates and peanuts from their pockets and stuffed them into his and Lin Erdi's hands.
"Uncle and Aunt, you should have an early heir."
The two little ones didn't understand what "early heir" meant, but they said it very seriously, looking quite proper.
"Haha, whose children are these? They're so smart."
"Who says not? Look at them, they're probably only two or three years old, but they speak so clearly. And they look like porcelain dolls, fair and clean, and so adorable."
The drinkers looked at the two little ones and started discussing them.
After all, who wouldn't like such cute and articulate little children?
Hearing others praise his daughter and son, Chen Yang felt incredibly pleased, a hundred times happier than if they praised him.
"Yanyan and Haohao are so good, so wonderful."
"Uncle and Aunt thank you for your blessings. Here's a red envelope, take it to buy candy."
Zhang Weiyang took out two red envelopes from his pocket. He had prepared quite a few for his wedding today.
He didn't put much money in, only one jiao in the smaller one and six jiao in the larger one, just for good luck.
It was the first time the two little ones received red envelopes. Holding them, they giggled and thanked Zhang Weiyang.
Seeing Chen Hao, who had been slightly nervous, calm down and accept the red envelope from Zhang Weiyang and thank him, Chen Yang smiled with satisfaction.
Change doesn't happen overnight, but a little bit of change each time is enough. Chen Yang believed that with his guidance, his son's personality would gradually become cheerful and confident.
The key was that with his older sister, the little girl, around, Chen Hao, the little one, would become more confident and better.
After delivering the flowers, red dates, and peanuts, the wedding ceremony continued. Zhang Weiyang didn't actually go into the bridal chamber.
Although his wedding was conducted in a traditional manner, there were some slight differences. After all, it was a new era, and there was no longer the segment of Lin Erdi waiting in the room for him to lift her veil.
The couple held wine glasses and went around toasting guests.
At Chen Yang's table, the couple drank a hearty glass. Both Zhang Weiyang and Lin Erdi considered Chen Yang a benefactor to their marriage.
The banquet was very lively. To make his elders happy, Zhang Weiyang had invited all his maternal aunts and paternal aunts and uncles, as well as his colleagues from the workshop. Zhang Weiyang didn't leave them out.
After all, they usually helped him repair radios for extra income. If Zhang Weiyang didn't invite them, they would still come to give gifts to show their respect.
That's how relationships work. When you're capable, everyone tries to get close to you. When you're down and out, even the dogs at your doorstep won't stay.
The lively wedding continued until almost afternoon. Chen Yang, seeing the slightly drunk Zhang Weiyang, said goodbye to Lin Erdi and left with the two little ones.
The two little ones were also very satisfied. They had eaten very well at the banquet this time.
He had to hurry to catch the bus. Otherwise, it would be dark soon. If he caught the three o'clock bus, he could get home in time for dinner, and his wife wouldn't worry.
Chen Yang didn't dare to take the two little ones to stay outside alone. No matter how obedient they were during the day, at night, if they didn't see their mother, they would definitely make a fuss when going to sleep. And if they did make a fuss, Chen Yang might not be able to coax them.
He rushed and hurried, and finally managed to catch the three o'clock bus back to Liuhe County. Chen Hao, full and content, fell asleep in his arms. The little girl, however, was very lively.
Every now and then she would pinch her brother's cheek, and every now and then she would ask Chen Yang to play with her. Finally, after playing until she was tired, both children leaned into his arms and fell fast asleep.
At four-thirty, they arrived at Liuhe County on time.
But before Chen Yang could get off the bus, he saw rows of public security officers at the Liuhe County station, standing guard as if facing a great enemy on every bus.
He had traveled to Qinghe City many times, but this was the first time Chen Yang had seen such a scene.
"Comrades, don't be nervous. I am Qin Dawei, the captain of the First Brigade of the Liuhe County Public Security Bureau. Today is just a routine inspection."
"There's a case in the county. To prevent criminals from escaping by bus, we need to conduct a thorough check. Everyone entering the station, whether going to Qinghe or returning from Qinghe, we will check them all."
