Chapter 239: Pick Up the Bride
The next morning at five o'clock, Zhao Qishui and He Shu got up.
Zhao Qishui changed into formal clothes and found a small suit and white shirt for He Shu to put on.
He Shu's current height is 178 cm. At the age of 20, he is not considered tall in the north and is almost fixed.
I wonder if he can grow another two centimeters if he trains harder.
However, He Shu didn't care too much about his height. In the important stage of growth, he didn't get enough nutrition.
It's already good enough for him to grow to this height now . As long as he is not skinny, he looks okay.
Zhao Qishui is not very tall, only 176cm. People of his generation are generally not as tall as this generation.
The living standards will get better and better in the future, and it is estimated that each generation will be higher than the previous one.
The father and son changed into suits and stood in front of the mirror. The old and the young looked very harmonious.
However, He Shu clearly remembered that when he first came to live with his godfather, his godfather was still very tall to him.
Time is like a handful of sand that can't be held. It passes by without you noticing and changes many things without you noticing.
The godfather now is not as tall as He Shu, but he is more important in He Shu's heart.
"My son is so handsome." Zhao Qishui looked at He Shu in the mirror, who was wearing a suit, and smiled so much that wrinkles appeared on the corners of his eyes.
"When you get married in the future, let's find a designer to make you a custom-made suit . I heard that custom-made clothes are more fitted and more handsome."
He Shu didn't blush like before, but put his arm around his godfather's shoulders, showing his white teeth: "When the time comes, we two will do a set each."
After admiring himself in front of the mirror for a while, He Shu followed his godfather downstairs and drove to Aunt Liu's house.
Aunt Liu bought a wedding house for her youngest son and only helped pay the down payment. After that, the son and daughter-in-law had to pay the monthly loan repayments themselves.
The new house is near Zhuangyuanfu community, and is owned by the same developer as the one that gave He Shu the house.
However, He Shu’s house is still under construction and has been under construction for two years, so it is unknown when he can get it.
He Shu glanced at the basically completed frame over there, and was somewhat looking forward to his house being completed sooner.
When the new house is built, I will let my godfather move in...
Following his godfather, they found Aunt Liu's house. The door was wide open and Aunt Liu was waiting for them in the corridor.
Seeing that both of them were dressed in suits, he couldn't help laughing.
"Aunt Liu, you look so beautiful today. You look at least ten years younger dressed like this."
Aunt Liu wore a long purple cheongsam today, and because it was cold, she also put on a shawl.
Her hair must have been dyed, as it was tied up on top of her head, making it a dark mass, and she also had some makeup on.
It's like he has become a completely different person compared to the time when he wore water boots and big gloves every day at the car wash.
When Aunt Liu heard what He Shu said, she burst into laughter.
She reached out and hugged He Shu: "Our little tree has grown up and can really talk."
After saying this, Aunt Liu suddenly became emotional and couldn't help but shed tears: "Good child, you have suffered a lot. Auntie is relieved to see you."
This was the first time He Shu returned to Danhe after being released from prison.
Although Zhao Qishui came back from Dadu a while ago and told them that He Shu was back safely.
But Aunt Liu watched He Shu grow up, and she couldn't feel at ease when he was not around.
"Don't cry. Today is a happy day. You will meet your daughter-in-law soon. If you cry any more, your makeup will be ruined."
He Shu's eyes also became hot. He took out a tissue and handed it to Aunt Liu.
"Okay, come on in and take a look at your brother's new house."
Following Aunt Liu into the house, I saw that it was newly renovated, with shiny new floor tiles and cabinets.
Several relatives must have arrived yesterday. They were here this morning, helping to pack candy and other things.
He Shu and his godfather were taken by Aunt Liu to visit the new house and met the groom today.
Aunt Liu’s youngest son is called Jiang Jiayan. He doesn’t look much like Aunt Liu. He is about the same height as He Shu, a bit sturdy, and has an ordinary appearance.
He was wearing the same suit today. After listening to Aunt Liu's introduction, Jiang Jiayan came over to greet Zhao Qishui and He Shu.
Aunt Liu also has an older son, whom He Shu has not seen. I heard that he will go directly to the restaurant at noon and will not go upstairs because his legs and feet are not convenient.
Jiang Jiayan didn't know whether He Shu could come back, and was afraid of delaying things, so he had already found a best man in advance.
He Shu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that. If he really had to take on the role, he would feel quite pressured.
This seemed to be He Shu's first time attending someone else's wedding, and he was curious about everything.
Relatives helped prepare wedding candies, cigarettes, fruit plates and other things. There was also a professional-looking cameraman wearing a vest, filming everywhere.
Then guide the groom and future mother-in-law to perform various actions.
Sometimes he took pictures with a camera, sometimes he took pictures with a video camera. He was alone and quite busy.
He Shu and his godfather were also pulled over to take a group photo before departure.
In a blink of an eye, the time came and it was time for the groom to pick up the bride.
The rented convoy could accommodate many people. Zhao Qishui encouraged He Shu to go along and see how other people got married.
He Shu had no choice but to find an empty car in the convoy and get on it.
The bride is also from Danhe. I heard from Aunt Liu’s relatives that the bride is an elementary school teacher.
The two were introduced by a matchmaker. They were good in every way, except that they were a little old. I heard they were already in their thirties.
The bride lives in an old building near Jinshan Park.
The corridor was probably repainted because they were going to get married. Although it still looks ugly, it is much cleaner now.
He Shu followed the groom and best man to the bride's house to watch the fun, but the door was closed.
It turns out that there is another test before the groom can enter.
I heard a girl's voice inside shouting, "Groom, our bride is a teacher, so I'll test you on a few cultural questions. If you answer correctly, you'll be allowed in."
Jiang Jiayan panicked when he heard this. He had no cultural level, so how could he answer any questions?
But he has prepared enough red envelopes, so if things go wrong later, he can just use the red envelopes to break down the door.
"Listen carefully. Question: Who is the author of these two poems: Spring sleeps without knowing the dawn and hoeing the field at noon?"
Jiang Jiayan was amused. Even if he was uneducated, he could still remember a few ancient poems from elementary school. Aren’t there only a few famous poets?
So he shouted loudly: "Li Bai, Du Fu."
The people inside the door laughed together: "No, groom, you can't even answer such a simple question?"
Jiang Jiayan hurriedly asked for help from the groomsmen, but it turned out that these two groomsmen were just like him. They went to work in the factory screwing screws before finishing junior high school, and had long forgotten what they learned in elementary school.
"Hey, brother, it's Meng Haoran, Li Shen."
He Shu couldn't help but remind him in a low voice. Jiang Jiayan immediately said the answer loudly when he heard it. The girl inside the door said that the answer was correct and then started to ask the second question.
Jiang Jiayan remembered that He Shu was from Huaqing University and was the top scorer in the college entrance examination that year. He immediately laughed and pulled He Shu to the door.
He shouted confidently, " If you have any questions, come over!"
