National Tide 1980.

Chapter 274 Wedding

Sunday, January 1982, 5.

This is the day when Zhang Shihui and Liu Weijing were very happy.

This morning, the Zhang family started with a magnificent and powerful breakfast.

Since Zhang Shihui had already paid the money, he also said hello.

At six o'clock in the morning, the breakfast shop outside the Hutong mouth delivered [-] pancakes, [-] fried pancakes, a bucket of soybean milk, a large pot of pickled vegetables, and [-] tea eggs.

In this way, Zhang Shihui's friends, classmates, and colleagues who came to help early in the morning will also have warm meals.

Whoever arrives will take the bowl and chopsticks first, and eat and drink without seeing anything.

Then there is no need for Zhang Shihui's family to take care of anything.

People who are full start to work very consciously and actively.

It's time to help dress up the wedding candy, and help the cigarette dispenser to help distribute the cigarettes.

Paste happy characters with happy characters, blow balloons with balloons, hang firecrackers with firecrackers, colorful flowers with colored flowers...

Even washing dishes, boiling water, and making tea are all in charge.

Let the three members of the Zhang family completely free up their hands to clean up their appearance.

Don't even look at Zhang Shihui's parents who just arrived home yesterday, and they are busy meeting their in-laws and making arrangements for themselves.

A lot of trivial matters have to be sorted out by the present who is grinding the gun before the battle.

And these people who came to help today don't know each other.

But the saying "more people are more powerful" is true.

Zhang Shihui's friends were all young people, so they just chatted happily and discussed with each other about assigning responsibilities.

Not only did things go smoothly, but they also became friends with each other.

As for the neighbors in the same courtyard, seeing this bustle in their eyes, they all reassess the energy of the Zhang family and feel envious.

Because not to mention what kind of aura it is to have twenty or thirty well-dressed young men helping out.

The key is that the furniture in Zhang's house is really amazing.

People in the same courtyard as Zhang Shihui had already seen his new house.

I know that his home is not only full of shiny foreign furniture.

An [-]-inch Hitachi color TV set and an air pressure thermos bottle are also placed on the chest of drawers.

The foreign wines in the Czech-style wine cabinet are all genuine, not fakes blended with colored ink.

There is also a Sanyo recorder with four speakers and two cards on it.

The refrigerator has double doors, and the washing machine is also a double-cylinder with a dryer.

The splendor on the bed was piled so high that it could almost reach the roof.

I have six pairs of pillows alone, and they are all made of soft satin.

Look at the wedding car they found today.

Shanghai, Warsaw, Lada, Japan's Daihatsu... all stopped in the alleys one by one, and none of them were taxis.

Good guy, this is enough to show that the Zhang family's social network is vast, and they are not ordinary people.

But these are nothing, because the best one has to be said to be the first car.

The last luxury car that arrived was the Mercedes that Ning Weimin borrowed from Song Huagui.

These days, a red flag can already make people feel proud and stole the limelight.

Not to mention this imported luxury car that few people have seen, it is really majestic.

So the neighbors who recruited the whole alley ran to Zhang Shihui's courtyard to watch the excitement.

Hey, for the first time, this alley was actually blocked by traffic.

As for the private discussion, other than being envious of the amazing Zhang family's ostentation.

It's just a guess that if you make such a big battle, you don't know what a beautiful daughter-in-law you will have.

Unfortunately, most people are destined to be disappointed.

Because the Zhang family's wedding is ahead of the times, the new wife will not directly pull here.

Today the team picked up people and sent them to the roast duck restaurant, which is the main venue.

So at nine o'clock in the morning, the convoy set off.

Several cars first sent Zhang Shihui's parents and several neighbors in the same courtyard to Bianyifang, and then went to pick up the bride and her natal family.

As for the process of getting married, it was exceptionally smooth.

Maybe it's because they are too satisfied with Zhang Shihui, the son-in-law, or maybe it's because Liu Weijing's family is too kind.

No one in Liu Weijing's natal family interfered with it, so they made it difficult on purpose.

So that the wedding can start at 11:30.

It is worth mentioning that, in order to create the atmosphere of the scene, when the newcomers got off the car, they threw colored papers all over the place and set off a full set of firecrackers.

The popularization of cameras has also brought about scenes that have never been seen in weddings in the past. There are actually many guests who brought cameras, entrusted by Zhang Shihui, to take pictures of the whole wedding process.

Take the moment when the newcomer got off the car as an example, at least four or five people had to shoot at the newcomer who got out of the car.

It's like Zhang Shihui and Liu Weijing are big stars and big shots.

As a result, not only the second aunt Liu Weijing, who was with the new couple, was so shocked by the battle that she didn't dare to get out of the car.

It also made many passers-by who saw this scene misunderstand.

Has anyone ever seen someone get married in a Pierre Carton fashion these days?

Most people's inherent concepts of the bride and groom are still at the stage of floral gowns and Chinese tunic suits.

So many people didn't know what was going on, and thought that some major foreign affairs event was going to be held here.

The second aunt, who stayed in the car for a long time before getting down, was also mistaken for the leader of some country who came here and made a special trip to taste the roast duck in the capital.

There is no doubt that this is definitely a landmark progress of the times.

In addition, all the guests came that day, which is also very commendable.

In the unit, except for the general manager of the hotel and the manager of the customer service department who are on business trips, the other store leaders are basically present.

Even Liu Weijing's parents, who were not supposed to show up according to tradition, broke the old etiquette because of Zhang Shihui's repeated persuasion from the perspective of "men and women are the same" and "feudal customs should be broken".

Happily becoming the woman's parents who can personally participate in their daughter's wedding banquet.

The most important thing was Zhang Shihui's social friends outside. Almost all the people he invited gave face.

What about the Grain Bureau, the Statistics Bureau, the Second Commercial Bureau, the Ministry of Light Industry, the Ministry of Water Conservancy and Electric Power, the Third General Staff...

Anyway, big and small have a little background.

Don't look at these people's low official positions, many of them are young masters.

But the more this is the case, the more the leaders of the unit understand what this connection represents.

This is undoubtedly good for Zhang Shihui.

Although the leader was curious about how Zhang Shihui hid it so deeply.

Suddenly finding out that his wedding standard has caught up with the minister's son, he is quite unexpectedly uncomfortable.

But just because of his friends, few people are willing to bother to figure out how his banknotes come from.

After all, being able to meet so many useful friends, such a person can easily accomplish things that many others cannot, and it can no longer be regarded as an idler.

Trouble with him could easily turn into trouble with himself.

Then why bother with yourself?

This day, Qiao Wanlin was the host. He was eloquent and made the atmosphere very lively.

Of course, the content of the wedding banquet is also very good. The quality of the dishes in the century-old restaurant is quite high, and it doesn’t cost money.

Slices of roast duck, traditional dishes, served one by one, steaming hot, with heavy oil and red sauce.being firmly placed in the center of the round table

Every guest is well dressed and smiling.Drinking wine one after another, eating with grease on the lips, talking and laughing happily.

And the content of everyone's chat, of course, is inseparable from the appreciation of the bride and groom and the quality of the wedding banquet.

Some people are amazed that the cigarettes on the top are peony and Double Happiness, and the wedding candy is liqueur chocolate besides toffee.

Some people appreciate the fashion of the couple's clothes, and are curious about the price of the two clothes.

Some people say that roast duck is the best wedding banquet. Traditionally, whole chickens and ducks are the best. This is a blessing, but it is expensive.

Some people discussed going to the bride and groom's home after the wedding banquet, and it would be difficult for them to see what show would be on.

There are also people who take the initiative to settle the accounts for the bride and groom, let's see how much money they will lose in such a game...

Anyway, all kinds of envy, jealousy, longing, and admiration were mixed in the guest table, especially the young people's hearts, which were messed up.

Just like Zhang Shihui and Liu Weijing were stimulated when they attended the wedding of Huang Shuping and Wang Lin.

Interestingly, in just two years, their situations have switched positions.

Huang Shuping and Wang Lin also came today.

During the dinner, Wang Lin admired the pearl necklace that Liu Weijing was wearing, while Huang Shuping looked at it and refused to talk to her.

If Zhang Shihui and Liu Weijing knew about this scene, their sense of happiness would suddenly double.

Ning Weimin also had a very happy day today, not only for Zhang Shihui and Liu Weijing's success, but also for repaying his debts and making appropriate returns.

And ever since he accompanied Zhang Shihui to complete the task of picking up the bride, he has had nothing to do with his life.

He hasn't rested for a long time, and it's actually a rare opportunity to relax with his old colleagues and chat about the past.

In particular, pushing a cup to change a cup is also helpful for talking.The girl Qu Xiao sat beside him, giggling and pouring wine for him, and he chatted more and more happily.

If it wasn't for Mi Xiaoran, who was seated at the same table, seemed to have a grudge against him, with her brightly painted mouth bulging and looking like a doormat, the meal was actually very pleasant.

But then again, who makes the wedding banquet the easiest place to stimulate some sensitive nerves of women?

I don't know if I was stimulated by the affection of Zhang Shihui and Liu Weijing on stage.

Some people may not like Ning Weimin becoming the center of the table, and being questioned by female colleagues as a sweet potato.

Perhaps there is also an aversion to Ning Weimin's claim that he wants to be a bachelor for the rest of his life.

Suddenly, extremely abruptly, Mi Xiaoran announced an explosive news in public.

"I'm getting married too. The date hasn't been finalized yet, but it's almost at the end of this month. I hope everyone can come by then. I wanted to tell everyone after it's really settled, but today everyone is so packed, I think I'll say it anyway. it is good."

And this immediately attracted the attention of everyone at the table, and triggered a strong follow-up reaction.

"Really? Xiao Ran."

"Why didn't I hear you say that?"

"No way, you are too strong in keeping secrets..."

Unexpectedly, this is not a big deal. What people never expected was what Mi Xiaoran said later.

"Also, I plan to quit working next month. After I get married, I will go abroad..."

When saying this, for some reason, Mi Xiaoran looked at Ning Weimin with a very "special" look.

But it's a pity that Ning Weimin only had the same surprise on his face as everyone else, nothing else.

This was certainly not the reaction Mi Xiaoran was expecting, but instead made her expression distort.

It looked like someone had dug deep in his heart with a hard wrench.
