Chapter 168 I happily served as the wedding ceremony host for Mr. Wu Xianyu and Ms. Lin Miaomiao
After get off work, Lin Miaomiao walked out of the school gate and saw Wu Xianyu standing not far away and waving at her. She trotted over, rushed into his arms, and rubbed his chest.
"Haha, baby, let me tell you, being a teacher is quite fun."
"Really? Then tell me what you did today. Let's get in the car first."
Wu Xianyu sent Lin Miaomiao to the car, sat in the driver's seat, started the car and drove towards home.
"Hahahaha, why is Lao Zhao's daughter so similar to you back then? She seems even more arrogant than you."
"Where can I have it?"
Lin Miaomiao protested with a weak tone, but quickly changed the subject.
"Just before I got off work, Mr. Zhao asked me if I was going to be a teacher in the future. If I was sure, he would reserve a spot for me next year."
"That's good. As long as I'm not a class teacher, being an English teacher is good."
Wu Xianyu was not surprised that Lin Miaomiao became a teacher. As long as she was not a class teacher, this job was quite easy. The ease here refers to interpersonal communication.
"I want to be a class teacher but I can't yet. I'm still a trainee teacher. Even if I get a permanent job, I'll have to work as a teacher for a few years before I can be a class teacher. But I'm quite interested in Lao Zhao's daughter. Next year I'll ask if I can apply to teach English to Lao Zhao's daughter's class."
"Old Zhao's daughter is in a very bad situation. You've got her on your mind."
Wu Xianyu complained, then hugged Lin Miaomiao and went back home despite the attack of her little fists.
When there is something to do every day, you will feel that the days pass very quickly. This is the case with Lin Miaomiao. One day, Lin Miaomiao returned to the office after a self-study class, rubbed her hands, picked up the thermos and drank some hot water. She felt a little uncomfortable without heating.
Teacher Huang came over with a list and leaned against Lin Miaomiao's desk with a look of surprise on his face.
"Sure, Miaomiao, you are quite good as a teacher. Lao Zhao's daughter's English scores have improved."
Normally, intern teachers need to start teaching independently in the later stages of their internship. However, this year the English teacher of Grade 12 was diagnosed with health problems and wanted to resign, and the English class of Grade 12 could not be left vacant, so Mr. Zhao asked Lin Miaomiao to take over.
Originally they were a little worried, but Lao Zhao and Tang Yuanming often went to check it out and found that Lin Miaomiao had made the students very obedient, so they felt relieved. Then, in this final exam, the English scores of Class 12 showed a small improvement overall. Needless to say, it must be the credit of Lin Miaomiao, the English teacher.
If Lao Zhao had said before that he would reserve a spot for Lin Miaomiao to become a regular employee next year, some people might have said something. But now that she has achieved results, almost no one has anything to say.
Lin Miaomiao herself was also very happy, after all, it was the first time she had taught such a student. It was just a pity because her internship was about to end.
"Actually, Lao Zhao's daughter is very smart. You can tell from her science grades. It's just that she doesn't put her mind into studying. I have experience with this kind of situation."
"Hahahaha, after all, you were like that back then, haha."
Teacher Huang was really happy for Lin Miaomiao, after all, she was his student.
When the school officially started its winter vacation, students left one after another. After the students left, all the teachers had to go back to the office for a meeting. Lin Miaomiao held her face and listened to Lao Zhao say the words she had heard countless times, and she couldn't help yawning.
This scene did not escape Lao Zhao's eyes. His eyes twitched, and he cleared his throat and spoke.
"Ahem, okay, I'm tired of repeating the same old stuff, let's get down to business, first of all, the number of intern teachers who will be promoted to regular teachers, after discussion by school leaders, the number of regular teachers has been announced, and individuals will be formally notified later, but you all should have an idea of what's going on, so I won't say much, okay, now let's prepare for the start of the second semester, all class teachers, please stay for a while, other teachers can go on vacation first."
After leaving the conference room, Lin Miaomiao stretched and complained to Teacher Huang beside her.
"I thought I only had to attend this kind of meeting when I was a student, but I didn't expect to have to attend meetings when I became a teacher."
"There will be many more meetings like this in the future, so just bear with it. Okay, get off work quickly, it will be dark soon."
The two of them quickened their pace, returned to the office, cleaned up, and left the school.
Wu Xianyu drove to pick Lin Miaomiao up and took them home. They were both excited. The Chinese New Year was just a few days away, which also meant that they would get their marriage certificate soon. They found their household registration books early. Lin Miaomiao looked at Wu Xianyu's empty household registration book with only his page, and felt bad.
But she quickly closed the household registration booklet, turned around and hugged Wu Xianyu, looking at him with a smile.
"Once you get the certificate, you won't be alone anymore. I'll give you a few more later."
"How many? No, just one will do, and a daughter would be best."
Wu Xianyu hugged Lin Miaomiao and kissed her lips with a smile on his face.
There was actually nothing much to say about getting the marriage certificate. The two were woken up early by Wang Shengnan's phone call, and then they washed and packed their bags, took their respective information and drove to the marriage registration office in Jiangzhou. After taking photos and getting the seals, the two became legal husband and wife. However, in the Chinese concept, a marriage is not complete without a wedding ceremony, and the date of their wedding was also set, August 8.
After the Chinese New Year, when Wu Xianyu returned to school, the first thing he did when he entered the dormitory was to send out the invitations. Hu Shuo, Shu Junfei and Liu Xingze each received one.
"Come on, come on, no one should be left out. I have a friend from Jiangzhou, so there will be four groomsmen. Take the invitations."
"Congratulations, do you have any wedding candy? I saw you even posted your marriage certificate on your Moments, why didn't you bring us some wedding candy?"
Shu Junfei happily took the invitation, but didn't rush to open it. He turned to Wu Xianyu and asked for wedding candy.
"You guys still like to eat candy, I thought you were all grown up."
Wu Xianyu complained, but still took out a big bag of wedding candy from the bag on his back and shared it with everyone.
The same process went through for Lin Miaomiao in the girls' dormitory, except that she smiled very wildly, like a bandit who had coaxed a young wife into his hands, causing Deng Jiachen to exclaim that Wu Xianyu had been fooled.
When they returned to the classroom, Instructor Fu, who had received the news early, came to the class and was not in a hurry to start a meeting. Instead, he asked Wu Xianyu and Lin Miaomiao for wedding candy. Then the whole class started to make a fuss. Fortunately, Wu Xianyu was thick-skinned and had prepared early, so he was given a bag of wedding candy.
It’s just that we are all adults, and when it comes to candies, unless we particularly like to eat them, we usually just take a few pieces to taste them and share the joy.
After the get out of class, the two of them started sending out invitations one by one. Not to mention their classmates, they also sent out invitations to teachers of various subjects and school leaders they had contact with. Regardless of whether the other party could come or not, they still had to observe the courtesy on their side.
Teachers and leaders have a very good attitude towards Wu Xianyu and Lin Miaomiao. Wu Xianyu has excellent abilities, so it is normal for teachers to like him. Lin Miaomiao is more popular with leaders because her account mentions a lot about Peking University. During the enrollment in the past two years, it was found that many students were more or less influenced by Lin Miaomiao's comics and chose Peking University.
This was a pleasant surprise for the leaders, and they took Lin Miaomiao even more seriously. Moreover, this kind of publicity was not temporary. As long as Lin Miaomiao's account existed and the video was not deleted, this kind of influence would always exist. Some school leaders have already proposed giving Lin Miaomiao the title of an outstanding alumnus.
After spending the last period of time in college, with the graduation photo taken, it represents that everyone has graduated from college. There is not too much sadness. With the development of technology and convenient transportation now, it is very easy to meet each other, not to mention that one month later, everyone will attend a wedding together.
After graduation, Lin Miaomiao, who thought she could finally relax, just returned home, but was busy like a top. After all, there was only a month left before the wedding, and they hadn't taken their wedding photos yet, and they hadn't rehearsed the other procedures, so they were very busy these days.
August 2021, 8, the first day of the seventh lunar month, is a good day for accepting marriage proposals, getting married, and offering sacrifices.
Early in the morning, before dawn, Lin Miaomiao was pulled out of bed by Wang Shengnan and rushed to wash up, while the makeup artist and cameraman had already arrived.
Lin Miaomiao had no choice but to walk into the bathroom with a sleepy face. Who knew that getting married would be so troublesome that she couldn't even sleep in.
When she finished washing up and sat on the bench, waiting for the makeup artist to do her makeup, Mai Ju and several of her roommates from university also came over from the hotel.
Seeing Lin Miaomiao's makeup almost done, Mai Ju couldn't help but sigh
"When the talent scout said you looked like a celebrity, I was a little skeptical, but now it seems to be true. With this makeup, you'll definitely be able to be a little celebrity."
"Hey, just a small star, that's not enough, you have to be a top star, why do you look down on me so much?"
Mai Ju stood aside, holding a bowl, eating the breakfast made by Wang Shengnan without any image
"Tsk, I told you you're fat and you're out of breath"
After Lin Miaomiao's makeup was completely done, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was then the makeup artist's turn to do makeup for the bridesmaids.
At this time, Wu Xianyu was constantly adjusting his suit, his face was very tense, and anyone could see the tension on his face.
Jiang Tianhao and Hu Shuo were lying on the sofa with relaxed looks on their faces, bragging. It was very easy for boys to get familiar with each other. For example, they could just have dinner together last night and everyone would become familiar with each other.
"Meow~"
At this time, Yuwan came to the middle of the crowd with a small black bow tie hanging around his neck. With so many people around, he didn't know how to get himself something to eat.
Jiang Tianhao took Yuwan into his arms and took out a cat snack from under the coffee table to feed him. At this time, Laotie came over quietly with a small white bow tie hanging under his neck. He ignored the hand extended by Hu Shuo, jumped onto the armrest of the sofa and looked at Hu Shuo.
Hu Shuo couldn't help it and complained to Wu Xianyu
"No, Xianyu, why doesn't Laotie get along with me? I have fed him for four years after all."
But Wu Xianyu just looked back at him and didn't say anything to him, because he was communicating with Uncle Liu about the upcoming procedures. Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu participated in Wu Xianyu's wedding throughout the whole process. For a military family, all preparations are very sufficient to ensure that there will be no accidents. This is just the final confirmation.
".Okay, relax a little. It's not nice to have a tense face on such a happy day. Be happy."
Uncle Liu patted Wu Xianyu on the shoulder, and Wu Xianyu relaxed slightly. Uncle Liu smiled, and Wu Xianyu suddenly spoke
"Uncle Liu, are you waiting for something? I noticed you've looked at your watch several times since this morning."
Uncle Liu was slightly stunned, and subconsciously looked at his watch again.
"Oh, I'm just checking the time. We're leaving in half an hour. Don't mention it, I'm a little nervous too."
"Haha, just think of it as a sample for Dongdong and Yanyan."
Wu Xianyu could see that Uncle Liu was trying to cover up, but he didn't ask directly. He believed that Uncle Liu would not harm him.
The time came, Wu Xianyu led the men's convoy and drove towards Lin Miaomiao's house.
Relatives and friends of both sides were only interested in participating and having fun, and no one really wanted to make things difficult for Wu Xianyu. After passing through many difficulties and entering Lin Miaomiao's room, Wu Xianyu saw the shoes that were placed behind Chang Shengyan, covered by a transparent glass cabinet, and were exposed for everyone to see.
Wu Xianyu and Lin Miaomiao looked at each other, and seeing that she was just smiling at him foolishly, he immediately looked helpless, took a deep breath and looked at the bridesmaids.
"Tell me, what do you want us to do?"
"Haha, we won't make it difficult for you, but we can't let you have it too easy either. Let's do this. We've prepared a few questions. The groom draws one from the lottery box. If you answer it right, we'll give you the bride's shoes. If you can't answer it right, that's easy. Each of us bridesmaids will have a clue. We'll exchange one red envelope for another. How about that? Fair, right?"
Chang Shengyan explained the rules of the game openly. Before Wu Xianyu and the others could finish communicating, Lin Miaomiao protested first. She put down the fan that was originally covering her mouth and spoke to the bridesmaids.
"Hey, didn't we say it was a fun game? Why did you start writing questions?"
"I told you Miaomiao was going to rebel, and you listened to me, right?"
Mai Ju spoke to the other three people at this time, and they all nodded in agreement. Lin Miaomiao had no choice but to sit on the bed angrily, looking at Wu Xianyu eagerly.
"It's just a topic, come on."
"Okay! Let's draw the lottery."
Chang Shengyan took out a lottery box. Wu Xianyu walked over and felt around inside. The feel was the same for all the draws, so it seemed like there was really no intention of letting anyone win.
So I randomly picked one out and opened the lid. After seeing the title, everyone was a little dumbfounded. The bridesmaids couldn't help laughing out loud.
"No, how come you got this math question?"
Wu Xianyu turned around and looked at Jiang Tianhao with the note in his hand, and the eyes of the others were also focused on Jiang Tianhao.
After Jiang Tianhao reacted, he adjusted his suit slowly, straightened his chest, took the note from Wu Xianyu's hand, took a look at it, and said "huh" with disdain.
Lin Miaomiao couldn't help it at this time, and said to the bridesmaids
"Hahahaha, I forgot to tell you, Jiang Tianhao is from the science department of Jiangda University."
"Oh, you did that on purpose"
"That's right, our red envelopes are all gone, you have to give us some."
The bridesmaids immediately started making a fuss, and Wu Xianyu quickly took out red envelopes and gave each of them one.
"Hey, hey, hey, we have everything. Stop bullying the bride."
“Hahahaha, now I’m starting to protect you.”
"It's not just one or two days, hahahaha"
The question was quickly solved, and the bridesmaids reluctantly handed over Lin Miaomiao's shoes.
Wu Xianyu knelt on one knee to put on Lin Miaomiao's shoes, then carried her out of the room.
Seeing Wang Shengnan and Lin Dawei sitting in the living room, Wu Xianyu looked at Lin Miaomiao in his arms. Instead of walking out the door, he stopped and sat next to Wang Shengnan and Lin Dawei, smiling and speaking.
"Mom and Dad, let's take a family photo."
Wang Shengnan and Lin Dawei were stunned at first, but they quickly reacted and adjusted their clothes. The cameraman was also very sensible and half-knelt in front of the four of them and took a few family photos.
After the photo shoot, Wu Xianyu stood up, hugged Lin Dawei, and said
"Dad, don't worry, I will take good care of Miaomiao"
"I know, I know. How can I not be at ease with you? Come on, let's go. Don't waste time."
After patting Wu Xianyu on the back, Lin Dawei loosened his arms, let out a light breath, and the grudge in his heart disappeared.
Looking at Wang Shengnan who was wiping her eyes, Lin Dawei couldn't help but tease her.
"Hey, who said they wanted to marry Miaomiao off happily? Why are you crying?"
After saying that, Lin Dawei hugged Wang Shengnan and walked downstairs. Wang Shengnan wiped the corners of her eyes and said stubbornly
"Who's crying? It's because I've had eye problems these past few days. What did Xiaoyu say to you just now?"
"What else can I say? Just leave Miaomiao to him. What about you? What did Miaomiao say? She even made you cry."
"."
After a moment of silence, Wang Shengnan spoke
"She said she wanted to be a good mother like me."
"Hey, this girl"
Taking a deep breath, Lin Dawei and Wang Shengnan got in the car and drove towards the hotel.
Not many people came to the lunch, most of them were close relatives and friends, so it was just a simple small gathering. The wedding would officially begin in the evening, and everyone would then arrive.
Compared to the slight sadness they felt when they just left, Wang Shengnan and Lin Dawei no longer felt sad when they met again. Looking at Lin Miaomiao eating without caring about her image, they couldn't help rolling their eyes.
As soon as he sat down, Lin Dawei looked around the table and found that Uncle Liu was missing. He couldn't help but ask
"Hey, where is Xiaoyu's uncle?"
"Oh, I made a phone call and will be here soon."
As soon as Aunt Liu finished speaking, Uncle Liu came back and greeted everyone, but the anxiety between his eyebrows became even deeper.
Until the evening dinner started, Uncle Liu couldn't help smoking a few cigarettes.
"Why haven't you come yet?"
Aunt Liu couldn't help but quietly ask Uncle Liu, and Uncle Liu shook his head.
"It's almost there, it's on the way"
Ring ring ring--
When the phone rang, Uncle Liu picked it up reflexively. When he saw the name of the caller, his eyebrows finally relaxed.
"Hey, Dad"
The banquet officially began. The host was a host from CCTV. He easily controlled the rhythm of the scene. After a while of preparation, the host stepped aside and started talking.
"Let us welcome today's protagonist, the groom - Wu Xianyu"
There was applause from the audience. I don’t know why, but everyone just wanted to applaud.
The on-site arrangements had been rehearsed. As a piece of music played, Wu Xianyu walked onto the stage holding a bouquet of flowers. He was a little nervous, but not too seriously.
"The groom is very handsome, but I wonder if you are as cool inside as you look outside."
The host passed the microphone to Wu Xianyu's mouth. Wu Xianyu lowered his head slightly and his voice broke as he spoke.
"Uh huh, I'm actually fine."
"Hahaha"
There was a burst of good-natured laughter from the audience. Everyone could understand that people are nervous about getting married.
"Okay, I can see that the groom is actually quite nervous too."
The host had a lot of experience in hosting and the whole process went on in order.
"Next, let us welcome the bride - Lin Miaomiao!"
Accompanied by a piece of upbeat music, Lin Miaomiao walked in from the door of the hall in a white wedding dress. Wu Xianyu walked over, took her hand, and walked towards the stage together.
"These two newcomers are so good-looking that it makes me, the host, very nervous."
Seeing that Wu Xianyu and Lin Miaomiao's eyes were entangled with each other, almost squeezing out water, the host had to speak up to interrupt the two people's eye contact, and the process had to continue.
"Well, it seems that the two of them are a little overwhelmed with love, so let's invite the elders of the two newlyweds, first of all, the mother of the bride, Lin Miaomiao, Ms. Wang Shengnan."
The parents of both parties were invited out in turn. Their words were simple and not deliberately sentimental. The atmosphere was very good. However, when some people heard that the boy's parents were not his parents but his uncle and aunt, they could not help whispering. Even Jiang Tianhao and Hu Shuo were muttering in their hearts that no matter how busy they were, they should show up at their son's wedding.
"at last."
To Wu Xianyu and Lin Miaomiao's surprise, the host's introduction was not over yet.
"Let us invite today's witness, Mr. Liu Zhenguo."
Wu Xianyu and Lin Miaomiao looked at each other. He was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Mr. Liu would show up today.
Old Liu came up from the side of the stage. After not seeing him for a few years, his body was slightly hunched, and his demeanor was no longer as energetic as before. He looked a little old. Wu Xianyu walked forward and led him a few steps. Old Liu patted Wu Xianyu's hand with a smile on his face.
"You are the boss today, you don't need to help me"
Wu Xianyu said nothing and brought Mr. Liu to the center of the stage.
Lin Miaomiao was wearing a wedding dress, so it was difficult for her to make big movements, but she still bowed slightly to Mr. Liu. Mr. Liu nodded, looked at Lin Miaomiao with a satisfied smile, and took the microphone respectfully handed to him by the host.
"Good evening, everyone. I am the witness of this wedding. You can just call me Lao Liu. Actually, I feel a little uneasy standing in this position. After all, Xiaoyu's parents were once my students and my soldiers. It's just that I failed to bring them back, and they stayed in the land of the motherland forever."
The dinner suddenly became quiet. Mr. Liu's words were very clear. Wu Xianyu's parents had already sacrificed. Everyone then understood why Wu Xianyu's parents did not show up today.
"It's been seven years. For the development of the country, not only did Xiaoyu's parents make sacrifices, but Xiaoyu himself also sacrificed a lot. In these seven years, he has not had the opportunity to pay tribute to his parents."
Mr. Liu's voice became hoarse. Right in front of him, the door of the banquet hall was opened, and two men in military uniforms walked in with solemn faces, carrying a plaque.
"Fortunately, all these sacrifices were worthwhile. We completed the mission ahead of schedule, and the identities of Xiaoyu's parents were revealed. This plaque, which was seven years late, finally arrived on Xiaoyu's most important day."
Wu Xianyu kept taking deep breaths, but everything in front of him quickly became blurred, and even the big words "Home of First-Class Meritorious Officials" on the plaque could not be seen clearly.
Taking the tissue handed over by the host, Wu Xianyu whispered thank you and quickly wiped his tears. Mr. Liu also came to the end of his speech.
"Okay, today is a happy day, so I won't say anything unpleasant."
After saying this, Mr. Liu opened the marriage certificate in his hand and faced the audience.
"Dear leaders, distinguished guests, dear friends, ladies and gentlemen: Hello everyone! The lights are on and the guests are all here. I am happy to serve as the witness of the wedding ceremony of Mr. Wu Xianyu and Ms. Lin Miaomiao."
As Mr. Liu spoke slowly and firmly, with the plaque of meritorious service as the background, Wu Xianyu and Lin Miaomiao held hands and smiled at each other.
Complete book.
