Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 1677

In the blink of an eye, the National Day came, and this day was the wedding day of my younger sister Duan Fang and Wu Zhenglong.

Early in the morning, Wu Zhenglong brought the motorcade to the BJ Hotel to pick up the bride. When Wu Zhenglong got off the car, there were deafening firecrackers outside the hotel.

Before this, Duan Yun's mother had already arrived from Daxing, and Duan Fang's bridesmaid was Li Yun who flew here from Hong Kong. She personally made up and dressed Duan Fang on the night before the wedding. The two sisters chatted for a long time, which shows that the relationship between the two is very close.

When picking up the bride, although the hotel had an elevator, Wu Zhenglong finally carried his new wife down from the 9th floor under the instigation of everyone. The scene was very lively.

After the marriage reception was completed, everyone came to Wu Zhenglong's new home, where his parents were waiting.

Wu Zhenglong's new home is a room allocated by the unit. Although it is only 70 square meters, the interior decoration is still very beautiful.

In the mid-to-late 80s, the four most popular items for BJ people to get married were Snowflake refrigerators, Bailan washing machines, Bailing tape recorders, and Peony color TVs.

Speaking of which, these 4 large domestic products are mainly named after flowers. People at that time regarded flowers as a symbol of beauty, so some newlyweds bought these famous brands produced by BJ just for the sake of a festive lottery. household appliances.

However, in the early 90s, the content of the four big pieces changed again, and even the name changed. Some people still called it the four big pieces, but in the mouths of more people, it became the third generation of "three big pieces".

As for what the "three big pieces" of the third generation refer to, the answers given by people have also become varied, sometimes it is a car, a computer, a mobile phone, sometimes it is a housing car computer, and sometimes it is a telephone computer and a high-end audio system. Equipment, there are video recorders, motorcycles and air conditioners...

All in all, since the 90s, the cost of marriage for Chinese people has been getting higher and higher. Although this is based on the gradual increase in the national income level, compared with the young people in the 80s and [-]s, the marriageable young people in this area are obviously more expensive. A little more pressure.

However, although Wu Zhenglong's family is far less rich than Duan's family, at least they are much superior to BJ's ordinary working family.

Wu Zhenglong's parents have saved money for most of their lives, just to make their son marry a wife in a prosperous way, and Wu Zhenglong himself works as a government official, and his income is also very good, so this wedding bought a lot of things, It is obviously one or two grades higher than the locals in BJ.

Cars are standard equipment for local tyrants. Unless you are an upstart in business, ordinary people, even if you are a leading cadre, cannot afford it. After all, an ordinary Santana car costs more than 20 to 30 yuan. This is a lot of people Money that can't be earned in a lifetime.

But in addition, in the new home of Wu Zhenglong and Duan Fang, there are telephones, computers, refrigerators, video recorders, 21-inch large color TVs, a full set of high-end audio, and exquisite solid wood furniture. The relatives and friends who have been to Wu Zhenglong's new home all showed surprise and envy on their faces.

Speaking of which, both the Duan family and the Wu family are very wealthy families, especially Duan Yun's family, which can definitely be called the richest man in the country. However, the wedding this time was relatively simple. The main reason is that the man who organized the wedding was the man, and Duan Yun and his sister also don't like weddings that are too high-profile.

In the office cafeteria of the Ministry of Mechanical and Electronic Industry, the decoration inside is very festive.

In the 80s and [-]s, it was not uncommon to hold a wedding in the cafeteria of the work unit. With an acquaintance, you can hold a few banquets in the cafeteria for a little less money, and get together with relatives and friends, saving money And affordable.

At the beginning, Wu Zhenglong's parents originally planned to hold their wedding in a big hotel in BJ, but in the end this plan was rejected by Wu Zhenglong and Duan Fang. The couple are relatively low-key people. The state advocates a policy of thrift and thrift. In the end, Wu Zhenglong chose to marry in the canteen of the government office, which can be regarded as a response to the state's policy.

Although the location of the wedding seemed a bit "shabby", the guests present were absolutely luxurious.

The wedding was presided over by Yang Fan, deputy secretary of the Party Committee of the Ministry of Electronic Machinery Industry, and almost all the main leaders of the Ministry were present. Colleagues from other units also filled the entire cafeteria, so that the cafeteria temporarily borrowed some from the office building. Tables, chairs and benches put the banquet in a simple shed outside the cafeteria.

Such a lineup of guests had never happened before in the Ministry of Electronic Machinery Industry. It can be seen from this that Wu Zhenglong is still highly valued by the leaders in the unit, and his popularity is still very good.

In addition, among the guests present, except for a few main leaders in the ministry, no one would have thought that the bride is actually the younger sister of Duan Yun, the richest man in the country. When I came to work in BJ, from the beginning to the end, there was no mention of Duan Yun and Tianyin Group.

The main reason for this is that on the one hand, Wu Zhenglong and his wife are relatively low-key people, and on the other hand, a cadre in a government department married the sister of a billionaire, and the marriage between officials and businessmen is a very sensitive matter in itself. .

Wu Zhenglong's suit and leather shoes at the wedding ceremony were also polished and shiny, and he looked very energetic and handsome.

Duan Fang, who was standing next to him, had a new wave perm, a red flower tied on her hair, wearing a red dress, with a sweet smile on her face.

Although the wedding scene was a bit frugal, the atmosphere at the scene was very cheerful and lively. Amidst the booing of the crowd, Wu Zhenglong kissed his wife, while Duan Fang seemed a little nervous, bowing her head shyly all the time.

Looking at the happy younger sister on the stage, Duan Yun felt a little emotional. He seemed to suddenly feel that sometimes happiness really has nothing to do with money. Ordinary people also have their own happiness.

The banquet lasted for more than three hours. During the period, Wu Zhenglong and his wife toasted the leaders and comrades in the audience one by one. The scene was very lively.

Getting married is a very tiring thing, but Duan Fang and his wife always kept a smile on their faces. Occasionally, Wu Zhenglong would show off his affection and help his wife wipe the sweat from her forehead and temples.

At this moment, Duan Yun found that the corners of his younger sister Duan Fang's eyes were already wet, and his mother's eyes were already filled with tears, but both of them had a lot of happiness on their faces...
