Chapter 251 Getting married (3)
Li Ran: "Brother Shen, you are an experienced person. This is Brother Lu's first marriage. You should remind him of the precautions."
Hearing this, Lu Yanqi frowned and said unhappily: "If you don't know how to talk, you can shut up. Do you think I will do it again?"
Li Ran quickly waved his hands and explained: "No, no, no, I mean that Brother Lu and Second Sister-in-law will be happily married forever."
Although He Shen was not the best man, as Lu Yanqi's best friend, he naturally came along to pick up the bride.
He smiled and teased, "Don't underestimate Brother Lu, he knows more about this than I do. Last time I got married, it was he who gave me guidance."
Everyone in the group showed surprised expressions and their eyes turned to the groom Lu Yanqi.
Lu Yanqi's face was filled with a confident smile.
They came to the security booth at the entrance of the community. Li Ran realized that he had just said the wrong thing and decided to put on a good show.
He first walked to the window of the security booth, handed two candies and two red envelopes into the window, and greeted them politely: "Hello, brothers. We are here to pick up the bride. Could you please open the door for us? Thank you!"
The security guard sitting by the window looked at the group of people expressionlessly, completely ignoring the wedding candies and red envelopes in front of him, and said in a bland tone: "I haven't heard of any weddings in the community. Did you go to the wrong place? Generally, families with weddings will notify us, so for safety reasons, we can't let outsiders in casually."
The meaning of this statement is very clear. The owner needs to greet their security guards first before allowing the wedding procession to enter the community.
Li Ran looked at the person behind him in astonishment, and quickly signaled Lu Yanqi to call Lin Qing to ask what was going on.
But Lu Yanqi didn't quite believe what the security guard said, because he had specifically reminded Lin Qing about this matter before, and Lin Qing should not make such a low-level mistake.
Therefore, the only possibility is that Lin Qing and the bridesmaids arranged for the security guards to do this.
Thinking of this, Lu Yanqi was too lazy to waste words, and directly took out a red envelope from his pocket, handed it to the security brother, and said with a smile: "Brother Gao, you still recognize me, right? Several times before, when I sent my girlfriend back here, you personally opened the door for me! Today I am getting married, and I am here to pick up my bride. Can you help me open the door?"
Security guard Gao looked at the thick red envelope, which was at least equivalent to several months' salary for him. Then he looked at the handsome young man in front of him. How could he not recognize him? Not only did he often open the door for him, but he was also very polite to him!
A smile immediately appeared on his face. "Mr. Lu, so it's you who's getting married. Congratulations. No need for red envelopes. We'll take the wedding candies. Please go in and don't waste time."
How could Lu Yanqi take back the red envelope he had sent out? He smiled and said, "This is a gift from my wife and I. Please accept it. Today is a good day."
After that, he took out a red envelope and handed it to another security guard, "This is for you, thank you for helping to open the door."
The other security guard was somewhat flattered and quickly waved his hands, "No, no, no, Mr. Lu, this is too expensive, we can't accept it."
Lu Yanqi smiled and said, "Take it. It's for good luck to everyone."
Seeing that Lu Yanqi was so insistent, the two security guards stopped refusing and took the red envelope. The high security guard said, "Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Lu. I wish you a happy marriage and a son soon."
Lu Yanqi nodded, "Thank you." Then he led everyone into the community.
At this time, it was Lin Qing's house upstairs.
Lu Jianing walked to Lin Qing and asked anxiously, "Sister-in-law, my brother arrived at the gate of the community at 7:50. It's almost 8 o'clock now. Why hasn't he come up yet? Could he have been stopped by the security guard?"
Lin Qing comforted her: "It's okay, I believe your brother will be here soon."
Although Cheng Xiaoling hoped to set up some checkpoints for the wedding procession when she delivered wedding candies to the community security guards, Lin Qing knew Lu Yanqi well and knew that the community security guards would not make things difficult for him.
After a while, there was a commotion outside the door, followed by knocks.
Lin Rui saw the situation outside the door through the peephole, turned around and said to everyone, "The bride-picking team has arrived."
Then Li Ran's voice was heard from outside the door, shouting to open the door.
Cheng Xiaoling and several bridesmaids immediately pushed Lin Qing back to the bedroom, and then Cheng Xiaoling said to Lin Rui: "You and a few others go to the gate to check, and don't let the groom in unless you get a few red envelopes."
Lin Rui looked at his cousin Lin Cheng beside him. Lin Cheng had just arrived at Lin Qing's house ten minutes ago. Lin Cheng was his aunt's son, one year older than him, and had been working for a year after graduating from university.
"Brother Cheng, it's up to you." Lin Rui felt embarrassed to make things difficult for Lu Yanqi. After all, he was quite familiar with Lu Yanqi and he had always respected him.
When Lu Jianing heard about the red envelope, her eyes lit up immediately. She ran to Lin Rui and said, "Brother Lin Rui, let's go and ask for the red envelope."
As she spoke, she winked at the others, signaling them to act together.
After hearing Lu Jianing's reminder, Lin Rui felt that he should not let his brother-in-law take his sister away so easily. He and Lin Cheng came here to give his brother-in-law some difficult problems.
Lu Jianing walked in front, and after she stopped, she cleared her throat and called out, "Outside, are the red envelopes ready?"
This sentence was like a thunderclap. The originally tense atmosphere suddenly became relaxed and everyone couldn't help laughing.
When He Shen heard the voice, he felt it was somewhat familiar. He turned around and asked the people around him: "Who is this?"
Lu Yanqi calmly replied: "Jia Ning."
Li Ran suddenly laughed and teased, "Jia Ning, which side are you on? When did you become a traitor?"
Lu Jianing didn't take it seriously and said proudly, "Haha, today I am my sister-in-law's family member!"
When Lu Yanqi heard her words, he said helplessly: "Open the door first, there is a red envelope for you." His sister originally said that she would come to be a spy for him, but now she changed her mind.
After hearing this, Lu Jianing slowly opened the door a crack, while the others stood behind the door to prevent people outside from forcing their way in.
Lu Jianing showed a sly smile and said, "Whether you are sincere enough depends on how thick the red envelope is."
Upon hearing this, the people inside the door immediately gave Lu Jianing a thumbs up.
Li Ran saw Lu Jianing's naughty expression but couldn't criticize her, so he had to take out ten red envelopes from his bag and stuffed them into the crack of the door one by one.
Lu Jianing quickly took the red envelope, closed the door without hesitation, and then distributed the red envelopes to everyone.
After she finished distributing the red envelopes, she shouted to the door again, "There are not enough red envelopes to share." Then, she turned to look at Du Siyuan beside her and said with a smile, "Sister Siyuan, it's your turn to ask for the red envelopes next."
Then, the door was opened a little, and Du Siyuan smiled and said, "We are in perfect harmony, and without a red envelope, we can't make it work."
Lu Yanqi: "Director Du, do you still want to go back to work?"
Du Siyuan blinked and replied with a smile: "Boss Lu, today is a national holiday. It's your big day, so you don't have to go to work."
"Brother-in-law, you are blatantly threatening our employees. Does my sister know about this?" Lin Cheng said.
"That's right, I'll tell the bride later that you bullied your employees." Du Siyuan echoed.
Lu Yanqi heard the voice, he had never heard this voice before, "Is it Lin Rui who spoke in front?"
Lin Rui: "Brother-in-law, it's not me. Let me introduce him. He is my cousin Lin Cheng."
It turned out to be his brother-in-law. He was anxious to see his bride as soon as possible. It was just red envelopes, which he had in plenty. So he signaled Li Ran to stuff more red envelopes in, hoping to end this door-blocking game as soon as possible.
Du Siyuan excitedly took the red envelopes and counted them. There were twenty of them. "There are four of us here. Each of us got an odd number of red envelopes. For such an important day, we need an even number."
So, four more red envelopes were stuffed into the crack of the door to make it an integer.
Du Siyuan turned to look at his two brothers-in-law and asked in a low voice if he could open the door.
Lin Rui nodded to Du Siyuan, and then he and Lin Cheng brought stools to block the passage at the entrance.
The moment the door opened, Lu Yanqi breathed a sigh of relief, but the moment everyone stepped into the door, they saw two people sitting in front of them.
Lin Rui spread his hands, indicating that he had no choice but to pass this level.
Lu Yanqi said directly: "Name a price, how much is the red envelope?"
Lin Cheng: "It's boring to ask for a red envelope directly. Let me test my brother-in-law's sincerity by doing 40 push-ups."
After saying that, he looked up at the clock on the wall, "Brother-in-law has to finish in thirty-three point nine seconds, which means long-lasting love. One more second means ten red envelopes."
After hearing this, Jiang Mingrui asked worriedly, "Brother Lu, is there a problem?"
Lu Yanqi gave him a reassuring look. These two brothers-in-law might not know that he was a veteran, and he exercised regularly, so this request was not difficult for him.
Lu Yanqi handed the flowers in his hand to a cousin next to him. When his brother-in-law shouted to start the timer, he bent down and did push-ups with standard movements.
"One, two, three, four, five..."
“Come on! Come on! Come on!…”
Two voices rang out at the entrance, creating a lively yet tense atmosphere.
In the bedroom, Cheng Xiaoling said to Lin Qing: "Beautiful girl, do you think Mr. Lu can finish it?"
Lin Qing: "Don't worry, they will solve their problems."
Tian Yutong: "Ah, I really want to go out and see Mr. Lu's physical performance, it must be very manly."
In the living room, Lin's mother said to Lin's father a little worriedly: "Do you think they are going a little too far?"
Father Lin: "Observe for a while longer. If they are too harsh, go over and remind them. It will be fine anyway."
From the living room, Mother Lin could see her son-in-law doing push-ups seriously, but it was not as hard as she had imagined. However, she still hoped that he could finish the task as soon as possible.
"Thirty-five, thirty-six, thirty-seven, thirty-eight, thirty-nine, forty, mission accomplished!"
Then there was warm applause.
Lu Yanqi completed the whole process quite easily. He breathed slightly, stood up and straightened his clothes.
Li Ran: "Brothers-in-law, how is it going? Did you pass the test?"
When Lin Cheng took a look, he found that it had been completed ahead of schedule. This brother-in-law was really capable.
"It's done, but I didn't manage the timing well. It was 0.1 second early. I have to make up for it."
Lu Yanqi didn't want to argue about the red envelopes, so he pushed Li Ran, and Li Ran gave each person two red envelopes.
The two brothers-in-law stopped making things difficult for Lu Yanqi and let everyone into the living room.
Lu Yanqi first briefly greeted Lin's father and mother, and then came to Lin Qing's bedroom.
He knocked on the bedroom door, cleared his throat and said, "Honey, I'm here to pick you up."
