Your smile is like honey and intoxicating, like alcohol is hitting my heart, tell me what to do
----------------
After bidding farewell to Zhou Xingzu who went back to the restaurant to pick up takeout, Lu Zhu resumed filming.
There wasn't much work for shooting street scenes today. After finishing today's shooting plan, Lu Zhu and his team went back to the hotel to rest.
Before coming here, the female staff member who works part-time as Lu Zhu's assistant told Lu Zhu that the reason she applied to this crew was that her cousin in Las Vegas was about to get married, so she would go to attend the show tonight. Wedding, and also want to invite Lu Zhu to sing a song in a friendship performance.
Considering that everyone was a colleague, Lu Zhu readily agreed.
Following this female staff member named Qian Siqi to the wedding hotel, Lu Zhu was about to greet her when Qian Siqi's aunt and uncle gave her a disgusted look, and then taught Qian Siqi a lesson: "You work in a TV station, please If you don’t have red card stars like Wang Ajie, Fang Yanmei, don’t just hire a girl and just do it perfunctorily!”
Qian Siqi was about to retort, but her aunt waved her hand again with a "generous" face: "Forget it, fortunately we invited another big star to sing and perform, but the visitors are all guests, you go and wait to be seated. "
As he said that, he asked the servants to drive them to the waiting place.
The two male staff members were about to get angry when they were persuaded by Lu Zhu.
"I'm sorry, Honghong, my aunt and uncle are so old-fashioned, and they immigrated here a long time ago, so maybe they don't watch new plays much..." Qian Siqi apologized weakly.
"It's none of your business, I also just take a break, just treat it as a joyous occasion at the wedding." Lu Zhu also persuaded her.
A few people came to the corner, and just as they sat down, another person jumped up from the seat behind.
"Miss Honghong!" Zhou Xingzu, who was sitting in the back seat, stretched his neck and approached across the mountains and seas.
"Xingzi? Why are you here?" Lu Zhu looked at him and asked strangely.
"Today is Uncle Wei's son's wedding. I will drink wedding wine with Uncle Wei and the neighbors." Zhou Xingzu laughed.
"What is marriage? It's just getting married. Do you know that Wei Yin's bad guy didn't even care about his own father in order to get married!" said a neighbor.
"That's right, the Qian family didn't live in our Pigpen Walled City before, but when it developed, they looked down on people and didn't recognize us as old neighbors, and the wine was placed in different classes!" Another mistress said angrily. explain.
"They didn't ask us to take a group photo with the newcomers, so we just sat there. Why did I put on the tailor's new clothes so as not to be rude to them, but they didn't even pay any attention to them!" An old woman swelled her face.
"Forget it...maybe we'll be here in a while." The simple and honest old man Wei smiled everywhere.
"Hmph, they even went up to take pictures of two pet dogs, which means that poor neighbors like us are not as good as dogs!"
"It's just a funeral in an empty coffin—there's no one in sight!" The uncle who sells pork has always been hot-tempered. Anyway, they are all sitting in the corner, and they are not afraid of such taboo angry words being heard.
The surrounding guests were full of resentment, Lu Zhu strangely started gossiping with Zhou Xingzu who came here one step earlier than her.
"It's their invitation cards that were distributed. The rich people are at the front ten tables, and the poor neighbors are at the back eight tables. The board on it is clearly written—Marriage for money!" Zhou Xingzu said in a low voice.
Lu Zhu followed Zhou Xingzu's guidance and looked forward to the background board of the photo, where four gold-plated characters were brightly decorated: Wei Qian married.
This background board is used for taking pictures of the newcomers and relatives and friends. In the end, even the pet dog went up to take pictures, but no one from the old neighbors in the entire Pigpen Walled City could take the stage. , is it not just getting married for money and being arrogant.
Zhou Xingzu explained the reason to Lu Zhu in private: Zhulong Walled City is an old block in Chinatown, and most of the people living there are relatively poor descendants of Chinese laborers. The two elders of the Qian family originally grew up in Pigpen Walled City. Later, he won the lottery, and then used the winnings to invest in business to make a fortune, and gradually became the current low-minded face.
Especially Wei Yin, who was the groom's official, still had the same nostrils with the two elders of the Qian family. He felt that the poor dad and the poor neighbors had disgraced him, and he was always greeting the guests in front of him, without even a glance at the end of his eyes.
Perhaps seeing that the time was approaching to be seated, Wei Yin brought the bride over to say hello: "Come on, hello uncles and aunts, this is my honey——Qian Shenyu, and I can be seated in 10 minutes!"
"Wow, old man Wei, your son eats so much fat." Zhou Xingzu saw Qian Shenyu's body shape at least over two hundred catties, and whispered something in old man Wei's ear.
The room he rented in the Pig Cage Walled City was only separated by a wall from Old Man Wei who was selling fruit. Naturally, he couldn't get used to this kind of disregard for his son, so he hated the house and Udi and didn't like the bride either.
Zhou Xingzu is not the only one who thinks this way, almost all other neighbors can't understand the new couple.
"I've seen it. When I was a child, Ayu ate all kinds of food everywhere in the city. After all, her mother often played mahjong and didn't cook!" An aunt laughed.
"Mrs. Chen, don't say that. If it wasn't for my family, Ayu, who was taking care of you and invited you here, I didn't plan to set up so many tables... After all, everyone's class is different." Aunt Qian smiled. The meat replied without a smile.
Ignoring this group of mistresses full of yin and yang skills, the bride Qian Shenyu looked around, and immediately saw Lu Zhu and Qian Siqi sitting on the seats, and immediately moved over happily: "Miss Honghong, I am your fan! Unexpectedly, Siqi really invited you here!"
"Thank you." Lu Zhu shook hands with her with a smile. Thinking that this fat bride specially asked to invite the old neighbor over, she couldn't help but lament that her fans basically don't have bad people—of course, Hussein's Except for the fake fans who bought her records for the sake of the female star.
Zhou Xingzu in the back also smiled from the bottom of his heart, and there was even a hint of kindness towards the cute new fans in that smile: the bride Zhu Yuanyurun looks very pleasing to the eye, she really deserves to be a fan of Miss Honghong...
"Honghong, I really like you and Sam's "Across the World", you really hit the right spot!" Qian Shenyu's next sentence revealed her true identity as a CP fan.
The kind smile on Zhou Xingzu's face froze instantly.
Seeing the newcomers go to greet the new guests again, the originally resentful atmosphere of the neighbors also relaxed.
This group of people was originally looking at the big day and didn't plan to make trouble. Before, they were so angry when they saw the seating arrangement assigned by the Qian family. Now that they heard that the bride added a table specially for them, their previous dissatisfaction was basically gone. .
"It's still Ayu who has a conscience. It's not in vain that I used to leave the pork belly for her to eat." The uncle who sells pork sighed.
"Shut up, Pork Rong, according to me, Ayu's favorite is my cooked noodles!" The noodle maker nicknamed "Fried Ghost" said unceremoniously.
"Oh, it's a pity that what Ayu is going to wear is a wedding dress. I originally made her a gown when I received the wedding invitation..." The tailor squeezed an orchid finger and shook his head regretfully.
"You can still prepare things to express your wishes. Coolies like me originally planned to come over to help carry and lift... Unfortunately, the machines are so powerful now that manpower is basically not needed..." Coolie Qiang said with a sad face .
"Hey, Coolie Qiang, are you still planning to take this opportunity to do temporary work to make money?" Someone shouted.
"No, I had a good time with Ayu when I was young. I planned to help her for free. Anyway, if I earn money, I have to pay the rent..." Before Coolie Qiang finished speaking, the charter woman next to him took down the bag with a gloomy expression. smoke in his mouth.
"I'm just saying that you, a dead boy, have been given food to you recently. It turns out that you are trying to delay the rent!" The renter was so angry that she seemed to be about to curse.
The charterer who was sitting next to the charter woman hurriedly covered her mouth: "Forget it, honey, it's a big day, so there's no need to bother you, if you have anything to do, we'll talk about it another day!"
"Remember, you still owe me three months' rent!" Although the charterer prevented her from attacking, the charterer finally shouted at the coolie dissatisfied.
Seeing that the food was ready, everyone started to get up from their seats and prepare to be seated.
"Didn't you say that a beautiful female star was invited to perform? Why haven't you come..." The charterer glanced around, and when he turned his head, he was slapped by the charterer.
"Is it these people? They look like bodyguards..." Looking at a group of big men in black gathered outside the door, the neighbors probed their brains and discussed.
Just when everyone was almost sitting at the wine table, the group of five or three thick men in black suddenly rushed in at the door.
Hearing that the leading foreigner kept yelling mixed Chinese and English, Zhou Xingzu asked Lu Zhu suspiciously: "What is he talking about?"
"They are subordinates of a boss who traded with Qian's family, and they said they wanted to discuss business with Boss Qian." Lu Zhu briefly explained to him.
"Today is my daughter's big day, why not talk about it another day?" Uncle Qian said with a smile.
The gringo in the lead ignored his polite refusal, but glanced at the last eight tables, grinned and said, "It just so happens that there are so many people gathered here, we are here to discuss the compensation for the demolition of the Pigpen Walled City. "
The crowd suddenly boiled up: "How much is the compensation? Per household or per head?"
Hearing clearly what the gringo said about the compensation, not only the neighbors in the Pigpen Walled City, but also many foreign guests at the front table were angry.
"Hey, did you make a mistake? What do you mean by giving us such a small amount of money to occupy our house?!" The neighbors said angrily.
"This is a very sincere price. After all, we will spend a lot of money to rebuild..." The foreign guy who took the lead said with a smile, and the kind of almsgiving attitude made people angry.
Aunt Qian, who had always looked down on the poor neighbors, couldn't help it anymore. Although she and the neighbors often exchanged eccentricities, she didn't have the bad intentions of seeing the neighbors being bullied to the point of sleeping on the street without a home. She immediately replied: "Don't think that I don't know that you guys want to turn it into a commercial street. If you make a lot of money, you have to send others to die. How shameless are you bastards!"
"Ms. Qian, I've known you for so many years, and this is the most pleasant time." The neighbors all supported.
"I'm Woods, and I'm a lawyer. If you continue to buy and sell by force, I and the guests present will jointly file an appeal and formally sue your unscrupulous company!" After a blond lady at the front desk stood up, all the others Guests of different skin colors gradually stood up to express their positions.
Seeing that the negotiation failed, the gringo who took the lead simply started.
"You guys are committing a crime!" The guests in the front row screamed and ran to avoid the attack.
Zhou Xingzu jumped up, wanting to protect Lu Zhu as a hero to save the beauty, but when he looked up, he saw that the three staff members had taken Lu Zhu to hide in the corner.
Being so distracted, he himself was surrounded by several big men in black.
"Miss Honghong, I'll come to rescue you right away!" Seeing that there were several big men in black chasing Lu Zhu from the corner, their hands and feet were grabbed and they were carried horizontally, as if they were being kidnapped. Zhou Xingzu, who looked like a chicken cub, yelled and glared at the big men in black who grabbed him.
"Let go, hit yourself!" Zhou Xingzu resolutely activated the hypnosis skill in the special function.
The burly men in black had dumbfounded expressions on their faces and let go of their hands in unison.
With a bang, Zhou Xingzu fell heavily to the floor.
"I want to tell them all to let go..." Zhou Xingzu, who was lying face down on the ground in a large font, gritted his teeth in hatred.
The big man in black saw Zhou Xingzu fell to the ground, and he didn't care why he suddenly listened to his words and let go. In short, he rushed forward, ready to trample this evil guy to death first.
"Xingzi!" Seeing that Zhou Xingzu fell and couldn't get up all of a sudden, Lu Zhu quickly changed direction and ran towards Zhou Xingzu.
At this time, a leg wearing worn-out black cloth shoes was inserted into several pairs of shiny leather shoes first, followed by a swivel leg with more than half a circle drawn.
In an instant, the three big men in black who wanted to attack Zhou Xingzu were kicked down.
At the same time, Lu Zhu rushed over, grabbed Zhou Xingzu's shoulder and dragged him aside, and asked with concern, "Are you all right?"
"I..." Zhou Xingzu, who wanted to say that I'm fine, saw that the person who pulled him over was Lu Zhu, and immediately changed his words, "I'm dizzy, it must be because I used too much power just now and fell down again ..."
As he spoke, he leaned his whole body on Lu Zhu's shoulder, looking pitiful.
Seeing that Zhou Xingzu, who has been distributing the money he won to the neighbors to help the poor, is so "weak", the honest coolie scolded angrily: "Back then, you foreigners tricked Chinese people into doing hard labor, and you still discriminated against our ancestors so much. It’s hard to survive, and you have a place to stay, you still want to kill them all, don’t you?!”
"Exactly!" The tailor wore a large string of dragon and phoenix bracelets in each of his hands, and changed his previous effeminate posture to a domineering and mighty one, "If we don't show off our power, will we really be treated as sick cats? "
Seeing that these two people used real kung fu, Zhou Xingzu was not calm anymore: "Twelve-way Tan legs? Hong family's iron wire fist?"
On the other side, the bride who was being chased by the big man in black was also rescued by the old man Wei. He yelled, "Dare to touch my daughter-in-law? Try my mandarin duck knife" and then used the fruit knife on the coffee table A few meters long wound was drawn on the man in black who was less than 1.9 meters...
Looking at the twisted wounds on the big man in black, Zhou Xingzu couldn't help hissing: It turns out that Old Man Wei's skill in peeling pineapples is not just learned by peeling pineapples...
Seeing that so many of them couldn't beat these kung fu weirdos, the leading gringo got worried, took out a pistol from his waist, and aimed the gun at Old Wei.
"Abba!" The groom, Wei Yin, subconsciously rushed to block him.
"Husband!" The bride also wanted to block the gun for her husband, but was pushed away by the groom.
It was too late and then too fast, when the noodle maker Fried Ghost standing next to the small stage saw this guy so unkindly took out his gun and prepared to do something wrong, he also immediately picked up the microphone stand on the stage.
A little cold light came first, and then the "gun" came out like a dragon.
He stared dumbfounded at this short, skinny man with thighs that were not as thick as his own arm, shot his gun aside with a microphone stand, and then whipped himself into a pig's head. They all put on a crying voice: "Let's go!"
"Wulang Bagua stick, really deserves its reputation!" Zhou Xingzu was so shocked that he was too weak to put on clothes, and he turned his head and explained to Lu Zhu, "The Guangcheng Wushu Association is next door to the Guangcheng Supernatural Function Association. We students used to compete with each other. , so I have a little understanding of all kinds of kung fu—their kung fu has not been hardened for decades, and they will definitely not be able to practice it!"
"Thank you, thank you." The three of them had a good impression of Zhou Xingzu, a young man who has been supporting the city, and now they recognized their housekeeping skills and praised them one by one. The attitude of the three of them was very good good.
"Chinese Kungfu is really amazing!" Some foreign guests also raised their thumbs.
However, although the big men in black who came to make trouble were beaten away, the whole banquet was also messed up.
Looking at the messy and dirty wedding dress caused by the bride rolling around and dodging, everyone felt sorry for the rest of their lives, but they couldn't help feeling sorry for the wedding.
"The hotel is only ten minutes away from our Pigpen Walled City. Why don't we go to the Walled City and hold a new wedding! The skirt and coat that the tailor made for Ayu are still hanging in the tailor's shop!" The renter looked around. , raised his arms and called out.
Half an hour later, Pigpen Walled City.
"And the most beautiful pork belly!" Zhurourong shouted, and several neighbors who were in charge of passing the dishes brought plates of braised pork belly to the table.
Seeing the neighbors, you put together a little dish, I put together a little dish and insisted on setting up eighteen tables again, and saw the daughter and son-in-law changing into skirts and jackets and Chinese tunic suits and toasting happily. Aunt Qian and Uncle Qian were so moved. Tears streaming down my face: "Thank you, neighbors..."
"What are you polite, the most important thing in the neighborhood is that everyone is happy!" Since Aunt Qian and Uncle Qian dared to confront the big man in black in order to protect their neighbors, the neighbors have long put everyone's little quarrel together. forgotten.
"Hey, it used to be 'marriage for money', but now it's 'marriage for love', I wish the bride and groom a happy marriage for a hundred years, drink win!" A guest raised his glass.
They have all seen the selfless and willing sacrifice of the bride and groom for love when the danger comes, and of course they also understand why the groom, who is considered a handsome guy, wants to marry a chubby bride. Golden.
"Oh, it's time for me to play music on stage. Ms. Guan said that she will sing Sister Wang's "Marriage Song" for the newcomers!" An old man picked up the suona and ran to the open space in a hurry.
"Hey, Aunt, aren't you a paper maker who handles funerals? It's not auspicious to play wedding songs with this suona?" A young guest asked strangely.
"I'll blow your lungs, you are unlucky, my suona can blow from your birth to your funeral! Red and white will kill you!" The suona boss scolded the ignorant young man, and then took him to the funeral The old boys from the band ran into the clearing.
After setting up all the instruments for blowing, pulling, playing and singing, the suona first broke through the sky, and the joyful music also sounded.
"Qi congratulations, you are a natural couple, who will serve as a phoenix in harmony; a beautiful day, a happy wedding..." Lu Zhu walked out of a corner of the open space holding a microphone.
Seeing that Zhou Xingzu also mixed in the playing and singing group and used a row of stools as the percussion part, if it weren't for his high professionalism, Lu Zhu would probably laugh out loud.
Seeing the smile on the corner of Lu Zhu's mouth, Zhou Xingzu knocked on the stool even more vigorously.
Seeing Zhou Xingzu looking at the female singer on the stage with a smirk on his face, how could this group of mature seniors not know what he was thinking, exchanged a kind look at the younger generation with each other, and then changed to focus on percussion The way he played, I wanted to help him and let him perform well in front of the girl.
"This girl can actually sing like Sister Wang!" Aunt Qian and Uncle Qian looked at the open space, astonished.
"Of course, Hong Hong was in the same group as Sister Wang and Sister DoDo in "End of Summer Vacation". Hong Hong was very fond of Sister Wang and even gave her advice in private. Otherwise, why would Siqi specially invite her? Come." The bride smiled and explained to her parents.
Qian Siqi puffed out her chest happily, and looked at Lu Zhu on the stage with a proud expression on her face.
"This girl sings really well!" The charterer stared intently at the open space, smiling so hard that he couldn't see his teeth.
"What are you looking at, get up and dance with me!" The renter grabbed his ear and pulled him out.
With the "lead dancer" led by the chartered public and chartered woman, people who are full of food and drink spontaneously form groups of two or several people and dance to the music.
It doesn't matter what skin color, race, or status, anyway, everyone is happy, bouncing around and twisting, it's considered dancing.
"Honghong, come and play together!" Qian Siqi and two other staff members pulled a group of children around happily.
Lu Zhu smiled and went over to dance with them.
"We're going to play a lyrical song next time, we don't need percussion, let's go down, Xingzi!" The singing and playing group was also funded by Zhou Xingzu, and immediately pushed him out.
Zhou Xingzu moved the stool away with a smirk on his face, and then looked at Lu Zhu who was standing in front of him waiting for him to invite him to dance.
Holding that incredibly soft little hand, Zhou Xingzu's dancing posture with his hands and feet was as stiff as a zombie.
"Hands on my waist." Lu Zhu smiled and put his hands that were frozen in mid-air.
Dizzy after dancing a song, during the intermission, looking at the defenseless Lu Zhu standing next to him, Zhou Xingzu stretched out and retracted the hand behind his back, stretched out and retracted it several times, and finally Dare not embrace that slender waist again.
After talking with the child, Lu Zhu lowered his head, saw his hand hanging in the air, and asked strangely, "What's wrong with you?"
"I..." Zhou Xingzu struggled to squeeze out a word, seeing the newlyweds and young couples not far away looking in pairs.
"Huh?" Lu Zhu looked at him, listening carefully.
Cheerful songs are never too repetitive. Without real people singing, there are naturally Chaozhou people who love to listen to the radio to contribute to the radio to play songs: "Dragon and Phoenix, congratulations, a pair of talented men and women..."
"I..." The timing and the atmosphere were so perfect, Zhou Xingzu's lips trembled and trembled, it was fine if he couldn't fully express his confession, and he was sweating profusely.
"What do you want to say?" Lu Zhu laughed lightly seeing his sweaty face.
Under the dim light of the street lights, that smile seemed to touch his heart sweetly, and seemed to be more intoxicating than the spirits on the table just now.
My mind exploded, and I no longer knew what to say.
"I... move a stool for you to sit on, Hong Hong, you must be tired from standing!" Zhou Xingzu stretched forward with his hand hanging in mid-air, and pulled a stool he had brought here before.
Seeing Lu Zhu sitting on the stool dumbfounded, Zhou Xingzu standing behind was so annoyed that he stretched out his hand and gave himself a crisp mouth.
