Chapter 408 The wind from childhood blows again
Putting aside the awkwardness of the groom's mantis, the small and exquisite wedding scene itself is quite good.

After listening to the person in charge of the small company that planned the wedding, Fan Wumian realized that this outdoor wedding held at his home was being treated as a "model room" and that a brochure would be specially customized.

Mantis's wife invited several wedding planning companies to come a few days ago and asked them to bid against each other for discounts. She mentioned that no one had ever held a wedding in this Repulse Bay mansion, so it could be used as a great opportunity for advertising.

As a result, the planning company for today's wedding not only makes no money at all, but also loses some money.

The person in charge asked indirectly whether he could take a photo of Fan Wumian alone and put it in the cupboard for display, but he decisively declined.

I feel more and more that the Mantis wife is a little clever.

There is obviously nothing wrong with saving money. Normal people should be more frugal in their lives.

But Fan Wumian always felt that sometimes it was not good to be too clear about everything. For example, regarding the photo shoot for the brochure, he was not even asked for his opinion. In order to save some money on setting up the venue, his wife Mantis took the initiative to agree to it. It was a bit too much to treat him as an outsider.

For security reasons, large houses actually need to maintain privacy.

This made Fan Wumian subconsciously think that if he became a cash cow in the eyes of the other party, and he was always calculating and calculative about something, he would inevitably need to be on guard in the future.

Silly Old Fan seemed to have fallen from the sky, and these bad friends were actually the same. The little bit of affection that maintained their relationship obviously couldn't withstand a few tests.

Although it was the first time they met today, through what he saw and heard, Fan Wumian understood why Mantis seemed to be resistant - the couple's personalities were obviously not suitable.

Mantis is carefree, free-spirited, and still so young.

Unfortunately, I couldn't control my belt and got myself into trouble without realizing it.

Maybe it was because when he was trying to pick up girls, he always liked to use Fan Wumian to bully others, saying things like "we are sworn brothers" and "he will take me to film movies and become a star in the future", which made him a fat sheep in the eyes of shrewd hunters.

The old house was sold to Pu Jiajing.

Last month he heard from the assistant that there was a house of the same type in the building that was priced at HK$445 million.

If you think a little more realistically, perhaps an unexpected pregnancy itself might not be so unexpected.

The lives of ordinary people are nothing but trivialities and chaos every day. Fan Wumian lived there for more than 30 years in his previous life, and now he doesn't miss it at all.

The auspicious time has arrived.

Piano music was playing on the speakers, and the pastor hired by the bride's family began to preside over the outdoor wedding.

The three groomsmen, Youpia, Bird King and Meat Dish, stood by and stared blankly with silly smiles.

Fan Wumian was sitting in the first row, watching a certain auntie pick up a few pebbles from the side of the swimming pool and tell others that this place had good feng shui and that putting them at home could ward off evil spirits.

There were also children stepping on the flower beds, stretching their arms to pick flowers, and breaking the branches with a strong jump.

The lily of the valley in full bloom was the most unlucky. It was almost plucked bald by several little girls. Each of them held a large handful in their hands and happily showed them to their parents, who praised them for being filial.

fortunately.

Only the garden was rented out; outsiders were not allowed to enter the house.

Otherwise, the children would be playing and running, the guests would be visiting everywhere, and they would take away some of Fan Wumian's used things as collections. Just thinking about that scene would make me feel disgusted.

Even now, the originally clean and flat lawn has countless holes, all of which were caused by chair legs, and someone will need to be hired to repair them later.

It's not a big deal, but it looks a bit upsetting.

After all, it was a house that had been carefully maintained by someone. Fan Wumian was thinking helplessly that no matter who asked, it would be best not to lend it out again.
It was just a simple formality.

There was no host standing on the stage to stir up emotions. After the ceremony, which lasted just over ten minutes, Youpiao found Fan Wumian and asked:

"After we finish eating, we'll be free for the afternoon. How about we find a place to play for a while?"

Fan Wumian asked back, "What are you playing?"

Such a simple question actually stumped Youpia. Playing games online, playing billiards, or playing cards are not appropriate.

Seeing Youpiao thinking hard, Fan Wumian continued:
"How about we have dinner together tomorrow? I'm going to the music studio this afternoon. The new album has been ready for a long time, but I haven't recorded any songs in more than two months."

Oil fat tells you:
"Okay, how many people can you squeeze into your car? Mantis and the others will go to the restaurant first in your Phantom. It's hard to get a taxi on the roadside." They took their servant's seven-seater shopping cart and came to the Treasure Boat to eat.

Fan Wumian compared the food with that at Wanghailou Club and found that the dishes he chose were more delicious.

If the price is high but the quality is high and the taste is good, it can still be competitive in high-end banquets. However, the current situation is that the dishes of Zhenbao Fang are not only expensive but also mediocre in taste. The mud and sand in the clams are not spitted out completely and they are a bit rough on the teeth. It is no wonder that it will go bankrupt in the future.

Join in the fun and finish the meal.

Fan Wumian said hello to Mantis, took the Phantom car keys, and went to the Sapphire Blue Records Studio.

The new album he prepared this time includes the songs he had sung before, "Exaggeration", "Naked", "Dignity" and "Echoes of Dusk", which are the theme songs of the TV series "The Lonely and Great God".

After arriving at the studio for a trial singing session, Fan Wumian first recorded a song called "Trap".

"I never loved you

I deceive myself
I have already written you a letter

I threw it into the sea again."

In the recording studio, Pu Jiajing originally thought that the song was mediocre, but after listening to the climax, she found that it was quite touching.

Then he recorded a song called "Unknown Person".

The climax part——

"When winter comes in my hometown

After the train arrives
The wind from childhood blows again
Reminiscing about pure happiness
on a familiar street
Someone will use all the tenderness
Shout your name

This verse of lyrics made the gold medal producer's eyes sore.

I immediately thought of myself leaving my hometown to make a living in my early years. More than 30 years have passed in a blink of an eye, and my elders have passed away one after another.

Fan Wumian's singing is not like some singers with a rogue voice, as if there is a speaker in his throat, but he has rich life experience, his singing is always full of deep emotions and his performance is very stable.

I recorded "The Nameless Man" and passed it in one take.

While preparing for the next Cantonese song "Second Hand", Pu Jiajing brought a cup of tea to help Fan Wumian moisten his throat and asked curiously:

"On the way here just now, you said that you were far away from your previous life and began to feel uncomfortable. But this song "The Nameless Man" is written for ordinary people."

Fan Wumian said calmly:

"It's two different things. For people like Mantis, 99% of their troubles are due to lack of money. I finally made it through, and of course I don't want to live a hard life again. Some people don't know how to spit out fish bones until they are in their twenties, because the fish they eat when they were young was cleaned by the servants. I am considered a first-generation rich man who started from scratch. My family conditions when I was a child were not as good as yours, so how can I not understand the hardship of supporting a family."

".It's better than mine, you own a house that big in Hong Kong City."

Rolling his eyes at her, Fan Wumian replied:
"You only look at the high salary, but you also have to look at the prices. A meat bun in Shenzhen costs 1 yuan, while in Hong Kong it costs 20 or 8000 yuan, and a serving of rice noodle rolls starts at 2000 yuan. A salary of 8000 yuan in Hong Kong is not as good as the purchasing power of yuan in the mainland. What's more, my dad doesn't make yuan either, and he would just gamble away the money he has."

Pu Jiajing's family was well-off. She had previously come to Hong Kong City to buy a house, and her parents sponsored her with hundreds of thousands of dollars. She had never suffered much hardship since she was a child.

After listening to Fan Wumian, she nodded and said:

"No wonder he can sing so tastefully, but is there really someone who lives to his twenties and still can't spit out fish bones? Is it because his tongue is not flexible enough?"

".You should ask his wife if he has a good tongue. What's so strange about this? Zuo Ziyan bought a roasted sweet potato in Yanjing. When she heard that it was only 90 cents, she asked the uncle two or three times in a row, thinking that she had misheard the price. She also asked me how to eat it and wanted to take it home to wash off the dust on it."

Thinking of Zuo Ziyan's growing environment, Pu Jiajing felt that this was normal and continued:

"I remember when I was very young, my family only ate meat once or twice a week, and it tasted delicious. The Chinese New Year was also very interesting, with friends setting off firecrackers everywhere and using the New Year's money to buy stickers, snacks and stationery. Now it has become very boring."

"If you don't eat meat for a year, even rat meat is the best thing in the world."

Fan Wumian took a sip of tea and said with emotion:

"When I was a child, the atmosphere of the New Year was created by the adults at home. If it were the same as here in Hong Kong, many families would not give out lucky money, prepare New Year's Eve dinner, put up spring couplets, or wear new clothes. In fact, it would be no different from other festivals. The festival has not changed, but the people have."
