The last elf

The next morning I caught the seven o'clock bus. I got up early. While everyone was still awake, I went to the bathroom to wash up and prepare the things I would need later. Today was He Xiangxiang's wedding, and I prepared I gave her a red envelope worth RMB . After all, I have known her for so long, and this time I suddenly got married. After all, it still made me feel a lot of emotion. .biqugev

I was about to go out when I saw Xueying and Lulu also getting up. Lulu saw that I planned to go out alone without taking her, so she immediately threw herself into my arms and held on to my clothes tightly. After letting go, Xueying said to me softly: "She woke up not long after you got up. Please take her with you this time."

Xueying knew that I was going to attend He Xiangxiang's wedding today. Originally, I planned to go alone. Since Lulu has clung to me, I had to take her and Xueying with me. After all, He Xiangxiang and I got married. I came to support her. I don’t know what she was thinking at the time. Anyway, I feel very uncomfortable now.

I didn't say much along the way. No matter how much Lulu teased me, she was always asking for trouble. Xueying knew that I was unhappy, so she didn't say anything and just followed me all the way. This actually made me feel a little better. She always understands me so well.

When I got on the bus and sat down at the bus station, I sighed softly. Looking at the sky outside the car window, I recalled the little boy who was always bullied by He Xiangxiang when I was a child. At that time, the so-called "young couple" was always called "young couple". It was just a joke among adults. Maybe no one took it seriously, or maybe someone took it seriously.

Now this young couple has grown up, but they married someone else, and they were married to someone else. The two did not get together in the end.

Gradually, we were almost there. The moment the car started, I rubbed my eyes, put on the headphones, leaned against the window edge of the interior and closed my eyes. From this moment on, I felt ecstasy to the extreme, and everything in the world was... What does it have to do with me?

I couldn't help but think of the song sung by Long Meizi and Lao Mao. The first sentence at the beginning made me cry.

"Girl, girl, I'm going to get married.

But I still love him in my heart.

Falling in love with you leaves me with eternal scars,

Look at the tears in my eyes.

Girl, girl, I’m going to get married,

I also dreamed of you marrying me home.

We were so in love that we couldn't help ourselves,

Now you have become my eternal concern. "

Every word was painful and every sentence was bone-piercing. It felt like she was singing it specifically for me, but I couldn't think of a way to stop her or even make her calm down.

So what if it's stopped? She always wanted to get married. After all, who allowed me to have a family in advance?

I had heard the song sung by the female singer Xiao Feng before, but I can't find it now. It was sung by Liu Siwei instead.

"Just find a good man and get married! Although it's not what I mean.

No matter how deep the love is, no one can let go, so I have no choice but to say these sad words.

Find a good man and marry him! Just let time forget him.

No matter where you go, let me bless you! "

These two songs were looped one after another, and I fell asleep without knowing it. I don't know how long it took, but when Xueying came to touch my face, I opened my eyes and saw that I had arrived.

After getting off the bus, I felt groggy. I don’t know if it was because I didn’t have breakfast. The weather today was very cheerful, cloudy with neither sunshine nor rain, just like my extremely gloomy mood at this time.

This Longquan Mountain Village has something in common with my hometown Qingyuan Mountain Village. Surrounded by green mountains and green waters, the sound of chickens and dogs chirping gradually purifies people's souls. It is really a good place.

There is no need to look for directions, happiness will attract people.

Basically all the villagers in Longquanshan Village went to He Xiangxiang’s hometown to celebrate, so we didn’t need to ask where her family lived. We just kept walking in, and it must be the busiest house we saw.

We came to a house full of red candles, stood at the door and looked at the firecrackers and confetti piled on the ground. I couldn't help but think of the scene when Yu Xi got married.

This is supposed to be a day for universal celebration, so why can’t I be happy every time?

I stood in front of the door in a daze for a long time. He Xiangxiang didn't come out. She was probably dressing up in the room. I took out my phone and looked at it, and finally put it back in my pocket.

At this time, someone finally discovered us. He Xiangxiang's relatives welcomed us in. They had never seen me, so they treated us as He Xiangxiang's friends.

We stood together with the villagers. Men, women and children gathered together and watched the men of the He family beat mochi. After the beats were made, the masters kneaded them on a sieve sprinkled with sugar. Then everyone started eating. Eating mochi is It is our custom that no matter whether it is a happy event or a funeral, the host family will invite neighbors, friends and folks over to have a meal.

The villagers all came to eat mochi without making breakfast, so everyone ate very quickly. One chef couldn't handle it, so three or five people had to come together.

Lulu had never eaten this before. She pointed at the balls of mochi with her little finger and opened her mouth with a smile. Naturally, I understood what she meant, so I picked up a smaller mochi, stuck some sugar on it, and then looked for it. I sat down on a stool and put Lulu on my lap and fed her one bite at a time. Since it was her first time eating this, I prepared boiled water while feeding her to prevent her from choking. I watched Lulu eat it one bite at a time. Called happy, my mood finally got better.

Xueying and I just ate a little. Just as I was thinking about what to do next, a woman walked towards me.

"Bai Yunfeng, come inside quickly and sit down. My Xiangxiang has been waiting for you to come."

"Auntie, how do you know my name?" The woman in front of me, the King, always felt a little familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen her before.

"I've seen you so many times. When I was little, you played the best with my daughter. How come I don't know your name?"

After hearing what she said, I realized that she was He Xiangxiang's mother. She used to go to the parent-teacher conferences in elementary school, but I didn't pay much attention to her at that time, but she had already remembered me. A little boy who has been betrothed to his daughter for no reason since he was a child.

She has always known about this, but she just kept silent. Perhaps everyone knew in their hearts that this was just a joke, including my mother who did not express any opinions at the time, so my mother and He Xiangxiang’s mother were not Ripe.

"Come in and sit down! I still have guests to entertain, so go ahead and get busy." After He Xiangxiang's mother said to me, she went to entertain the guests elsewhere. I looked at the red and festive decorations in the back room and took a deep breath. , then stood up and walked in gently.

When I walked into the back room, I saw a door on the left was closed tightly, with a big happy character posted on the door. Through the door panel, I could hear the laughter of several girls inside. This should be He Xiangxiang's dressing room. But I didn't knock on the door. I just stood a few meters away from it and looked at it for a while, and then returned to the yard.

Forget it, at that moment when we looked at each other in despair, I finally understood that some things cannot be changed. If you can't change it, you can only accept it. At least I still have the right to bless her.

Thinking of this, I took Xueying and Lulu and sat down around the table with the villagers. The wedding decoration was relatively high-end, not much different from my last wedding, but this time the roles were reversed. She is the guest and she is the heroine.

The wedding hadn't started yet, so the folks at the scene were all having fun, some chatting, playing cards, and some playing games. I reached out and grabbed a handful of melon seeds and sat on the edge of the table to eat them. Lulu also Unequivocally, she grabbed every candy on the table, and everyone was looking forward to the appearance of the bride and groom.

To be honest, I'm not very curious about He Xiangxiang. Instead, what interests me is the groom, the person who wants to spend the rest of his life with her.

At this time, a group of children ran past us. They were about the same age as Lulu. The leader was a chubby little boy who was playing games with three girls and two boys. I looked at Lulu in my arms. Shi Lulu was also looking at them, so I asked her: "My dear daughter, do you want to play with them?"

Lulu raised her head and looked at me, nodded first, and then shook her head. At the same time, her little hand was still holding me tightly. I guess she wanted to play with them, but she was still a little timid. , after all, I don’t even know him.

Just when I was about to get up, the group of children also saw Lulu in my arms. Then they collectively discussed it and finally let the little boy who took the lead come over.

The little boy walked up to me, looked at me and asked, "Brother, can you let the girl in your arms play with us?"

Ho! I haven't found him yet, but he came to me on my own.

So I looked at Lulu again and said, "If you want to go, go! But pay attention to safety, and the range of play should not exceed our sight."

Lulu nodded, and then I put her down, but the next scene made me dumbfounded.

I saw the little boy extending a hand to Lulu. Lulu hesitated for two seconds and then handed over her hand. Just like that, the little boy took away my Lulu in front of me...

This, this, this...even holding hands? ! It’s not like Lulu can’t leave! What a fool you are! ! !

Seeing the little boy holding my Lulu's little hand and leaving together, I immediately lost my composure and felt my blood pressure soaring in an instant.

"I'm so stupid!!! This kid has learned how to pick up girls at such a young age?! Is it my daughter that he's picking up?! How the hell is this possible?!"

Seeing that my whole body was about to explode, Xueying pulled me down dumbfounded and comforted me so sweetly that my heart went cold.

"Xiao Fengfeng, think about it from another perspective. If that little boy is your son, and he can play so well with girls at such a young age, you as a father should be happy!"

I thought about it, then sighed and said, "Although what you said makes sense, I still feel unhappy..."

While I was feeling depressed, the noise outside became louder and louder, the sound of firecrackers getting louder and louder, and someone shouted loudly: "The groom is here!!!"

Is it finally here? I stood up from my seat after hearing this, and then stared at the door closely. All the villagers rushed out to intercept the red envelopes, and Xueying and I were the only two people left in the whole yard.

Xueying held my arm and looked at the door side by side with me. After a few minutes, the groom finally came in.

He was a high-spirited man. He looked very energetic with his hair in an airplane hairstyle. The hearty smile on his face made me take a deep breath.

I glanced at Xueying, and saw that Xueying was also looking at the man in front of me with a complicated expression. In short, the feeling given to both of us could not be said to be good, but it could not be said to be any worse.

After he walked in, he saw that Xueying and I were the only ones sitting at the table in the whole yard. He strode up to me confidently and said, "Eat well and drink well. Don't be polite!" After that, he handed me a drink. Give me the red envelope.

To be honest, I didn’t feel happy when I looked at the red envelope. On the contrary, I felt a little indescribable. But today he is the protagonist and I am just a guest, so I had to half-smile and nod to him, but did not reach out to pick him up. The red envelope that was handed over.

The scene was a bit awkward, but in the end Xueying took the red envelope from his hand and said, "Thank you."

After Xueying finished speaking, she placed the red envelope in the center of the table, meaning anyone could take it. The man couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he saw our behavior, then smiled and walked away.

Seeing the groom walking into the back room to pick up the bride surrounded by everyone, Xueying and I got up and hugged Lulu back. After more than ten minutes of noise, He Xiangxiang finally came out.

She came out with the groom.

Watching her and the groom walking out hand in hand, I lowered my head and took out the red envelope I had prepared, then held it in my hand and watched quietly. I didn’t look up during the entire worship process, and Xueying didn’t look either. , but has been looking at me quietly.

After the worship service was over, there was a toasting session. I couldn't avoid it this time, so I had to fill up my glass and wait for the two newcomers to come over and toast.

After a while, it was finally our turn. He Xiangxiang walked towards us with the support of the groom. After I exhaled, I took the lead and stood up. Then I raised the cup in my hand and said to her: " Happy wedding!”

But I couldn’t see her face clearly because I deliberately raised the cup high, parallel to the horizontal line of He Xiangxiang’s face, so the cup successfully blocked her and myself.

After I finished speaking, I raised my head and drank it all in one gulp, then sat down with my head lowered. When I raised my head again, He Xiangxiang was already gone.

This is the bitterest wine I have ever drunk, and it reminds me of Xiaoya at my wedding. She must have felt the same way I do now.

In fact, the groom is very nice and his family is very rich. Logically speaking, He Xiangxiang should be happy, but why can I vaguely see her unhappiness in the glass?

Just when everyone was enjoying themselves, there was a sudden thunder in the sky, followed by dark clouds, as if it would rain heavily in the next second.

"Why is it going to rain all of a sudden?! The weather forecast says there will be no rain today!!!"

Everyone panicked for a moment, and the situation suddenly got out of control.

Just then the groom shouted: "Don't panic, everyone! I have a tarp on my car, I'm going to ask someone to put it up! Everyone should sit down and eat and drink!"

After hearing what the groom said, everyone finally felt at ease and started eating and drinking again, but Xueying said softly to me: "If it rains, it will be very heavy. I guess the tarpaulin won't be able to stop it."

"Then go to heaven and see what's going on."

Xueying nodded, and then quietly went to the heaven, while I held Lulu and continued to eat and drink leisurely. Spending two thousand yuan can't let myself go hungry, otherwise it will be a big loss.

After a while, the groom called the people to drag all the tarpaulins over. Then they borrowed ropes and brackets from the villagers and started to put up the tarps in a hurry. The scene was so lively that even Lulu was stunned. He pointed his finger at them with a smile, and his frightened look really made people want to laugh.

Logically speaking, as a young man, I should have gone up to help, but they were all hired by the groom and paid. Why should I help if I just took money and didn't do anything? Anyway, Xueying can't get up in this rain, so let them go to work, otherwise how can there be such easy money in this world? I should eat and drink when I should, and be happy and quiet.

So I took Lulu and continued eating and drinking. The groom and the bride had already entered the back room, leaving only the relatives of the He family to entertain the guests. The scene was still as lively as before.

After a while, Xueying finally came back. She came to me holding a large flag in her hand and said, "I asked Nezha to borrow the Zaotian flag."

"Zaotian flag?! I've seen it on TV! Isn't this a sacred flag that can control wind and rain and change the weather?!" I exclaimed.

"Yes, Xiao Fengfeng, watch out!" After saying that, Xueying jumped onto the roof of the tiled roof next to me with the Zaotian flag. Because of her invisibility, no one noticed her, and then I saw Xueying raised the Zaotian flag and gave a command to the sky, and then a beam of light suddenly came from the sky and shone on the Zaotian flag, making the Zaotian flag immediately become golden and beautiful.

Then Xueying began to wave the Zaotian flag non-stop. The gesture was so domineering. After a while, the dark clouds in the sky gradually began to disperse, and the sun finally came out.

While everyone was marveling, Xueying jumped to my side from the tiled roof and said: "The Jade Emperor has decreed that it must rain today, so I can only use the Zaotian flag to temporarily postpone the rain period for two days. Hour."

I nodded and said, "We have done our best to be benevolent and righteous. As for what to do with the rest, it's up to them. Come on, eat something to fill your stomach. We'll leave in a while. There's nothing good here." It’s time to wait.”

So the three of us ate something again and left quietly. This is still my favorite way to say goodbye. But before leaving, I found He Xiangxiang’s mother and handed her the red envelope I prepared and explained. One sentence: "Although the weather is sunny now, the tarpaulin still needs to be put up. It might rain again in two hours."

After the explanation, I took Xueying and Lulu and left. Although the wedding was still going on, I really had no reason to stay here any longer.

Goodbye, I wish both of us happiness.
