Chapter 169: Clenched hands, firm choice
At this time, Uncle Fan had solemnly taken Aunt Wen's hand, and the two walked out side by side.
The ceremony was held in a hotel, and it took some car ride from Aunt Wen’s home to the hotel.
In the car, Uncle Fan, who is usually taciturn, never stopped talking.
"Are you cold? Do you want to wear gloves?"
"Do you want a scarf? Wear it when you get off the car. It's windy outside."
"Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something? I'll buy it for you."
Aunt Wen laughed at his concern and poked Uncle Fan's shoulder with her finger: "Today I'm wearing a wedding dress, but you asked me to wear gloves and a scarf. It doesn't match the wedding dress at all. It doesn't look good."
"It looks good!" Uncle Fan held Aunt Wen's hand, his eyes sparkling, "You look good in anything you wear."
Uncle Fan, who is not good at speaking, can't say many touching love words, but he can always make Aunt Wen, who is usually aloof, laugh. Uncle Fan is very sincere, and everything he says is from his heart, which makes people unable to refute.
Aunt Wen looked into his confused eyes and asked, "Are you nervous?"
Uncle Fan let go of his tightly grasped suit pants, swallowed his saliva, and nodded honestly: "I was very nervous. I almost couldn't sleep last night."
"We are not young anymore. A wedding is just a formality. There is no need to be nervous about it." Aunt Wen comforted him.
Uncle Fan suddenly raised his head and looked at Aunt Wen intently, his eyes filled with determination and persistence.
"No, the wedding is very important to you and me. It's not a procedure, it's a necessity."
During this period, some relatives always said to him and Aunt Wen: "Weddings are for young people. You two are getting together to live together. Why waste money on those meaningless ceremonies?"
"You guys are having a wedding, but you don't even think about what others will say about you. You're still doing this at your age."
As a result, Aunt Wen, who had been determined to hold a wedding at the beginning, began to doubt her choice.
But she did not waste her time on internal affairs. She and Uncle Fan formed a united front and fought back against these people.
"It's not your money, so stop meddling in my business."
Uncle Fan, who usually speaks not very fluently, clearly repeated the words that Aunt Wen taught him to say rudely, and stressed the need to draw a clear line between himself and nosy relatives.
From the beginning, he didn't think that being with Aunt Wen was just living together. He just met the lover whom he had met many years later.
Their love was no different from anyone else's, they had everything they needed, including the three golds, invitations, and banquets, and they just wanted to make it a lively one.
Just ignore the annoying relatives. There are so many people wishing them well, and the wedding doesn’t need them anyway.
Uncle Fan usually looks taciturn, but he is surprisingly popular, probably because almost everyone in the math class has copied his homework.
Aunt Wen has even more friends. As the lead dancer of the square dance class, she has a very good relationship with the aunts.
Almost half of the uncles and aunts from the senior citizens' university came to the wedding.
The uncles and aunts all set up a few separate tables, and the atmosphere was very lively.
On the way to the hotel, Uncle Fan and Aunt Wen held hands the whole time.
Before getting off the car, Aunt Wen took out a mirror again to look at her white hair hidden under her veil and asked Uncle Fan, "How do I look now?"
"Very beautiful!" Uncle Fan once again gave her a firm answer.
In Uncle Fan’s heart, Aunt Wen is a beautiful and proud peacock, and he will always give her the most affirmative answer.
He stretched out his hand to Aunt Wen and mustered up his courage: "I'll hold your hand, let's go together."
Not only now, but also in the future.
……
At this time in the venue, it was the first time for the emcee to see such a big scene.
The bridesmaids and groomsmen who arrived early filled the stage, and there were uncles who kept carrying things down from the car.
There are a series of musical instruments including drums, guitars and suona.
On the side of the stage was the young witness who was drinking water frantically and nervously, and the master of ceremonies who was said to be a hundred years old.
As well as the bride's daughter who kept taking pictures, and the strange person who was buried in math.
What a huge group of relatives and friends, what a strange group of people.
The following tables also have their own highlights.
The emcee heard that the bride and groom met at the senior citizens' university, so many of the people sitting below were their classmates from the university.
He saw several uncles and aunts quietly doing their homework and looking frequently at the witness. He heard that this was the principal of their school.
"Is it so stressful to attend a senior citizen university? I even brought my homework to a wedding."
……
The bride and groom entered hand in hand under the gaze of everyone.
Lin Qinglan was waiting at the side of the stage for the emcee to call her on stage, with Aunt Wen's daughter Xiaoya behind her.
Xiaoya cried with snot and tears, "Wow, my mom is so beautiful today."
"No, I can't cry, I still have to take pictures."
Clips of Uncle Fan and Aunt Wen's daily interactions are playing on the screen.
A large part of the materials were provided by Lin Qinglan and Xiaoya.
The short one and a half minute video records the six months of their meeting, acquaintance and understanding of each other, and their mental journey from developing a mutual affection to firmly choosing each other.
Most of the scenes in the video are taken at the senior citizens' university, with other uncles and aunts appearing in the video.
Many people here are witnesses to their feelings.
The video ends with a temporary "easter egg".
A wedding blessing video recorded by uncles, aunts and teachers of Evergreen.
Those who were present, those who were absent, and even the intangible cultural heritage teacher Jing Xinran who was out of town, and Uncle Liao who was on a cycling tour... all sent them their sincere blessings.
This is a "surprise" video. After seeing the video, Aunt Wen and Uncle Fan turned around and looked at the audience.
The uncles and aunts waved at them vigorously.
Aunt Wen and Uncle Fan were so moved that their eyes turned red.
"Principal Lin, please help me record the video first. It's my turn to go on stage." Xiaoya trotted to find Aunt Wen.
As the wedding march sounded, the little flower girls came out skipping and dancing with flower baskets in their hands.
Uncle Fan straightened his back and walked towards Aunt Wen step by step.
Xiaoya was standing next to Aunt Wen.
She had severed ties with her family decades ago, so the task of handing over Aunt Wen's hand to Uncle Fan fell to Xiaoya.
Xiaoya was crying so hard that she couldn't speak clearly, "Uncle Fan, you must be nice to my mother, otherwise..."
"Don't worry, from now on I will respect her, love her, and put her health and happiness first."
Uncle Fan actually prepared a lot of words silently, but he still used the simplest language to prove his determination.
Xiaoya couldn't stop crying as she watched Uncle Fan walking away holding Aunt Wen's hand.
She knew that Aunt Wen and Uncle Fan’s relationship had been questioned a lot, but fortunately they remained steadfast to the end.
Her beloved mother found someone who was wholeheartedly good to her.
The MC's voice sounded in time: "Let us welcome the witness, Ms. Lin Qinglan."
Lin Qinglan looked at the aunts' red eyes and the heavy atmosphere in the room. She cleared her throat:
"I'm going to start talking now. Uncles and aunts who haven't finished their homework, please collect your homework first."
"Let us all give our warmest applause and cheers to Auntie Wen and Uncle Fan."
