The wedding ceremony was about to begin, but the bridegroom was not seen yet, Beth was obviously very anxious. The spring by the sea was warm and cold, and Beth wore only her wedding dress, walking around the square anxiously, eagerly looking at the sky in the distance.
Beth: He is late!
Tao Tao: But he will come. Put on your coat, or it will stain your wedding dress. (Tao Tao said while chasing Beth with her coat)
Beth (breaking free from Tao Tao, angrily): He's late!
Tao Tao: Don't be stupid (she catches up with the restless Beth and tries to put on her coat), come and put on the coat.
Beth: Don't let me down on the big day!
Beth broke free of Tao Tao again. With a roar of motors, a helicopter appeared in their field of vision.
As soon as the plane landed, Beth rushed towards the plane.
The cabin door opened, and the group of people stepped off the plane. The bridegroom, Jane, was among them. He was handsome, tall and burly, with long hair and a joyful expression on his face. Beth ran towards him, and Jane quickly walked towards Beth, ready to hug her, but Beth seemed to be wronged, pushed him away, and kept both hands punching Jane's chest. After a while, the two still hug each other tightly.
The other people on the plane are coming down one after another. They are all friends of Jane working together on the drilling rig. They are coming to Jane's wedding. One of them is holding a bag in his hand.
Terry (a good friend of Jane, to the colleague with the bag): Take out the wine bottle.

People attending the wedding in the church. Jane stood in front of the forum, and his good friend Terry stood beside him. Seeing that Jane's tie was a bit irregular, she helped him tidy it up, but Jane returned it to its original shape. Terry tidyed him up again, and Jane restored his tie again.
Jane (in a low voice): This is my wedding.
Beth's mother and sister-in-law Tao Tao are sitting on the first row of benches, with other people who came to the wedding in the background.
Pastor (standing behind the pulpit, to everyone): Please stand up and welcome the bride.
Everyone stood up, sang hymns, and turned around to watch the bride walk into the church.
Wearing a white wedding dress and holding a bunch of flowers in her hand, Beth slowly walked to the pulpit accompanied by her grandpa. Beth has a joyful smile, but her grandpa has a melancholy look. Beth didn't notice Grandpa's look, she looked at Jane as she walked, her smile was like the blooming flowers in her hand, she couldn't help it.
The singing stopped and the priest began to recite the wedding speech.
Pastor (a hand on the forehead): God, we are here looking forward to your arrival, and we admire you-the Creator who created all kind and perfect things (put your hand off the forehead). Christ loved the church and gave his life for it. Our duty is to praise Christ and dedicate our lives to him. Maybe it is out of time for me to say this, but I still want to say that you, Beth, have expressed this love and promise to God in your own life. We often see you here, where you dedicated your time and energy to talk to God (Beth smiles and nods). I know that you did this not just to be a good person in the world, but also because of love, for the God who exists in the sky.
After the wedding ceremony, people walked out of the church one after another. The pastor who just addressed the wedding stood at the gate, and the people who came to the wedding shook hands with him to say goodbye. The pastor shook hands with Beth and Jane, and then shook hands with Beth's mother, sister-in-law, and father.
Terry (speaking while shaking hands with the pastor): Your speech is really wonderful, pastor.
People came out of the church one after another. The weather outside was sunny and spring was everywhere. Several members of the Presbyterian Church are talking about something. Seeing the wonderful weather, Terry seemed to feel that something was missing.
Terry (like talking to himself): Ring the church bell!
A priest standing next to him: Our church does not have a bell.
Terry was surprised. He looked towards the top of the church. The camera followed his point of view, shooting the top of the church. Sure enough, there was no bell on the top of the church.
Terry: It's ridiculous.
Terry felt it was incredible, and smiled at a colleague.
The sky was still clear just now, and it rained suddenly, and people ran towards the village one after another.

Jane (said while shaking hands with Tao Tao): It's your sister-in-law, oh, we haven't met yet.
Tao Tao: Yeah, everything went so fast.
Beth was a little unhappy when she heard her sister-in-law say that.
Beth (to sister-in-law): Why do you say that?
Tao Tao: I just want to say... Isn't this true?
Beth: Are you not happy for me?
Tao Tao: Of course I am happy for you, congratulations.
The guests and friends who came to the wedding banquet, especially the young people, danced to the music. Beth danced with a little girl, and Jane sat at a table, watching Beth and the joyous crowd happily. However, Beth's grandfather, mother, and the priests of the Presbyterian Church were dissatisfied with the ardent behavior of the young people. They sat in their seats and looked at these young people with calm eyes.
Jane and Terry shook their wrists, and Beth danced just past Jane.
Jane (wrestling his wrists while screaming): Beth!
Beth kissed Jane. The old people sitting behind them looked at all this and felt incredible about the young people's behavior.
Jane beat Terry by breaking his wrist, and another colleague of Jane opened a can of beer and handed it to Jane. Beth looked at Jane and laughed happily, and kissed Jane again. Jane took a few sips of beer and got up to dance with Beth.
Terry picked up a large can of beer, opened the lid and drank it cleanly. A long shot shows the whole process of his drinking. While he was drinking beer, the president of the Presbyterian Church sitting next to him had been watching his performance and challenging drinking action with strange eyes. Terry also seemed to realize that someone was watching him, so Drink even more level. After drinking, he wiped the corners of his mouth with his hand and looked at the chairman provocatively. The president poured the beer from a big beer glass into a glass and drank it all at once.
Terry looked at the president while squeezing the beer with his hands; the president was not to be outdone, and squeezed the glass with his hands. The glass was crushed, the president released his hand, and the glass slag fell on the ground. His hands are bleeding. Beth's grandfather and mother, who sat aside, watched what was happening in front of them.
Beth and Jane are dancing to their heart's content. Live accompaniment band.
The music paused, Tao Tao came to the microphone and read a speech in his hand.
Tao Tao: Dear Beth, I have known you for six years. I have never seen anyone as broad-minded as you. (Guests stop dancing and listen to her congratulations) When I married Sam, it was not easy for me, a stranger, to live here. (The camera pans to Beth and Jane standing next to her) But you warmly welcomed me and accepted me sincerely, which made me unforgettable (the camera pans back to Tao Tao). You are so magnanimous, like lent a bicycle to Jack that time. It's just that this car is mine, and I have to walk to work! (She laughed while talking, and the audience including Beth and Jane laughed.) That day, I was very angry with you, and then I regretted it. You did it out of your nature. You dedicate everything to all people. (She coughs over her mouth with her hand, and then continues) When Sam passed away, I lost my husband, and you lost my brother... We support each other and vowed to be with each other for life. It is for you... (she wipes the tears from the corner of her eyes with her hand) It is for you that I have not left this place of indifference. (Beth leaning on Jane’s chest, listening to her sister-in-law’s speech happily) Today, you are so happy, you open up to another foreigner, his name is Jane, I don’t know much about him, but I know he has the right Live here, for you. If he doesn't take good care of you and doesn't make you happy, I can't spare him. Thank you for everything. I love you...love you very much.
As soon as the voice fell, there were rounds of applause in the hall, and Beth ran up to hug Tao Tao.

It should be said that this makes me sad, but some members of our church seem to like to indulge in this secular world (Beth lowered her head, mother looked at her, and then Beth whispered to the woman sitting on the other side of her. ) Instead of fleeing this worldly place. Anyone who listens carefully to my speech knows what I mean. I feel worried, and I know I am not alone.
He sat in his seat after speaking.

Jane: That's exactly what I said!
Beth: Antoni is going to hell, everyone knows.
After Beth finished speaking, leaning on Jane's arms, Jane managed Beth's hair tossed by the wind.

Jane: No, I don't think so.
Tao Tao: How should I take care of her now?
Jane: What do you want to do? Leave her here? Keep her here?

Beth took the jug and took a careful sip. The jug was obviously hard liquor, and Beth grinned straight. Taili smiled, looked back at Tao Tao, Tao Tao shook his head. Pete took a sip and passed it to Jane, who also took a sip.
Jane stood by the beach, lit a cigarette, looked into the distance, listening to the waves of the sea. Beth looked at Jane's back and couldn't help showing a sad expression. Jane glanced back at Beth, no parting sadness, which added to Beth's sadness even more. At this moment, everyone is looking at the sea, and it seems that they are admiring the sea, and no one speaks. Beth suddenly ran towards the village.
Jane turned around, chasing Beth, and Beth ran without looking back.
Beth came to the village yard, stopped in front of a thresher, picked up an iron rod and knocked on the machine, making a sound like a bell. She knocked and yelled nervously. Jane came to her and snatched the iron rod from her hand, and Beth's fists rained on Jane. Several workers who were working on the high-voltage wire rack stopped their work and watched what was happening in front of them. Jane held Beth in her arms. Maybe Beth was finally tired and paused for a while. Then she left Jane again and walked in the other direction. Jane picked up the iron rod on the ground and knocked the thresher hard like coaxing a child, making a louder sound than before. After that, he threw the iron rod on the ground, caught up with Beth, and hugged her in his arms.

The plane's motors roared and both Terry and Pete got on the plane. Jane didn't want to delay any longer, turned on the plane, entered the cabin, waved quickly to Beth and Tao Tao, and then closed the door.
The sound of the plane's motor became louder and louder, the propeller accelerated its rotation, and Beth's heart became more and more sad. She stood beside Tao Tao with an uncontrollable sad expression on her face. As the plane was about to take off, Beth finally couldn't restrain her emotions, and suddenly rushed towards the plane, pulled the door of the plane hard, and got on the plane without hesitation. Jane hurried out of the cabin and walked to the middle of the hatch. Beth threw herself into Jane's arms and held him tightly.
Jane pushed Beth away from her arms vigorously, while consoling her.
Tao Tao came to Beth and hugged Beth tightly.
Jane watched Beth calm down a bit before entering the cabin again with confidence.

30. Church·Interior view·
Ribeth sat on a bench in the church and confessed.
God (Beth pretends to imitate God's voice): You have committed a sin of selfishness, Beth. You never imagined how much pain you would cause him to do that. You cannot control your emotions in front of others. When you did this, I didn't feel that you were loving him, and you promised to be better.
After a while, Beth looked up.
Beth: I promised to be better.
Beth finished her confession, turned around, and her mother was cleaning the church. Beth walked to her mother.
Beth: I'm sorry I didn't do a good job.
Mom: It's nothing, Beth.

Terry (to Pete): Hey, what the fuck are you doing?
Pete just got up from the ground after doing push-ups, took the towel and wiped the sweat from his face, and accidentally dropped the radio to the ground. He came to Terry, took the cigarette from his hand, took a sip, and returned it to him.
Terry: Throw your radio away, you won't receive anything here!
Pete went to the radio and threw it to the ground. Then, he took the faucet and sprayed water on Tai Li, and Tai Li stood up and took the mop to fight back at him.
Jane: Hey, dance, you dance.
Terry and Pete continued to joke.
33. Corridor·Interior view·
Rijan, Taili and Pete were walking in the corridor, and when they passed by a fire extinguisher, Taili yelled for fire fighting jokingly.

Beth: What happened in the past is all my fault.
Richardson: What's the matter?
Beth: I prayed to God to let him go home.
Richardson (shakes his head, smiles): You are so capable! Do you really believe that you have this ability? You have a strong subjective effect in doing so. Still cry more for your own destiny instead of his destiny. If you think what I have said is useful to you, come and chat with me often.
