Miss you under the empty stars

Miss you under the empty stars

The host's jokes mainly focused on "giving birth to babies". He always stressed that there is a custom in Beijing that if you kneel on the left knee to give birth to a boy, to the right knee to give birth to a girl, to kneel on your knees to give birth to twins, and to get down on your knees and hug your thighs, you will give birth to dragons and Phoenix twins.

I did a part-time job at the wedding ceremony for a period of time, and the main job was to decorate and clean up the wedding scene. The job is not as simple as expected, because rich people's weddings are so complicated. We need to go to those five-star hotels to set up the stage, spread the red carpet, sprinkle flower petals on the carpet, install a bubble machine (press the switch from time to time during the wedding process, it can spray colorful bubbles), connect the wiring board, paste the words on the wall (it must not be crooked, because it is unlucky), tie the back of the chair (it must be tied in the shape of a bow), put the wedding photo of the couple, and put the cover bowl teacup. 

Fake wine (usually grape juice, which newcomers use to toast), matches for smoking, signing pens for check-in, and so on. During the wedding, you need to cooperate with the sound master to turn off the lights, give the wedding ring to the couple's hand, and hand the flowers to the bride (she will throw the flowers with her back to the audience). Before each wedding, the supervisor of the wedding company will send each of us a long schedule, accurate to minutes, and we will prepare all the items in advance according to the schedule. However, there will still be some emergencies to break the schedule, such as the time when the bridegroom planned to give the bride a globe (during the wedding, he turned the globe so that the bride who closed his eyes could point to it). As the wedding was about to begin, the globe could not be found, and the bridegroom was furious, so we quickly took a taxi to Xinhua Bookstore to buy a globe. It turned out that the bridegroom took the globe back after the rehearsal the night before. The process of the wedding is almost exactly the same, with everything done first and then done strictly according to the schedule. The expression of love between the bride and groom is basically "Ah, you are my rose, you are my flower, you are my lover, you are my concern"; The host's joke mainly focused on "giving birth". He asked the bridegroom to repeat the proposal on the stage. He always stressed time and again that there is a custom in Beijing that if a boy is born on his left knee and a girl is born on his right knee, twins will be born on his knees and twins will be born on his knees hugging his thighs.

The host also likes to say, "Thank you for your rare applause!" The guests would laugh awkwardly when they heard this, and then he would say, "Let's applaud the couple again for getting married!" Everyone applauded again, and this time the host would laugh and say, "right, applause should be warmer." There are only two moves that can make everyone laugh every time. During the vows, I was expecting that after the bride and groom had said "I agree", a man broke into the door and shouted, "I object!" Then, like the end of the movie Graduate, the man rushed out with the groom or bride by the hand.

but this plot has never happened, and our lives are more like O'Henry 's novels without the last natural paragraph, with almost no plot. When they had lunch, we stood by and watched. We can only eat happy candy, or secretly eat a wedding cake behind the governor's back. After they have finished eating, we will go and pack up and take away the cigarettes that the guests have not smoked on the plate. So at that time, I smoked "Zhonghua" almost every day. Wedding is a profiteering industry, those wedding supplies are used repeatedly and the cost is extremely low (our part-time salary is 150 yuan per game, while it is said that newlyweds have to pay at least 100000 yuan per wedding). The most outrageous thing is that the tea cups prepared for the newlyweds' parents are all used repeatedly. The teacup is used so many times that it is full of tea stains and cannot be washed off at all. We all go to the hotel bathroom to flush it with tap water, and we don't even flush it when time is tight. Watching the newlyweds' parents smiling and drinking tea, sometimes a shameful pleasure rises in my heart. The most impressive one was the wedding of a couple born in the 1980s, who were not so pretentious because they were young. When she handed the bouquet to the bride, she secretly asked me, "do I look nervous?" I hurriedly said to her, no, it's fine, come on! When I took a closer look, I found that she looked a little like my first love, especially her eyes, so clear that she could see her own projection. After the wedding that night, when I was walking in the streets of Beijing late at night, I saw the sky full of stars. Under the empty stars, I couldn't help thinking of her. Although we have each other's mobile phone numbers, we haven't been in touch for a long time. I was wondering if I met her in the street right now, would I turn around in shame and pretend I didn't see her? Once I arrived early, and there was still more than an hour before I had an appointment with someone from the wedding company, so I decided to take a look around and ended up at the Panjiayuan secondhand market. I saw someone setting up a stall to sell books, so I went to look for some books. When I came out, I met an old man with silver hair at the door. He looked very familiar. After searching in my head for a while, I finally remembered that he was the poet Munk.

I hesitated to say hello to him when I saw him lift his foot and get ready to leave.

& nbsp; I blurted out, "Munk!"

he turned around, and it was him!

"Hello!" I gave a timid cry and specially used the word "you". "Hello," he was surprised. "do you know me?"

"I have read your poems, and there is a picture of you on the title page of the collection of poems."

I handed him a Chinese cigarette.

", really? What are you doing now? " He said he didn't smoke.

"I just graduated and haven't found a job yet." I put away my cigarettes, too.

"Oh, did you buy a book today?" He read the book I carried in my hand.

"well, yes." I looked down at the book I mentioned.

"I'm here to meet a friend today, and I'm about to leave."

"OK, goodbye!" & nbsp;

he waved to me. This is the first time I've ever been in real life.I met a poet. I smoked China and went to the wedding company with excitement. After that, I followed the other part-time jobs into the dark storage room of the wedding company, and we loaded the props for the wedding into the van one by one and put ourselves in it. Because the space is very small and we have to avoid the sight of the traffic police, we can only hide ourselves between the red carpet and the back of the chair, which feels like a stowaway. At that moment, I wish I was really sneaking into the country.
