National Tide 1980

Chapter 274 Wedding

Sunday, May 9, 1982.

This is the day of great joy for Zhang Shihui and Liu Weijing.

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

Because Zhang Shihui had already paid the money and said hello.

At six o'clock in the morning, the breakfast shop outside the alleyway delivered fifty fried cakes, thirty steamed buns, a bucket of soy milk, a large basin of pickles, and sixty tea eggs on time.

In this way, Zhang Shihui's friends, classmates, and colleagues who came over early in the morning to help would have hot meals to eat.

Everyone who arrived first took the bowl and chopsticks, and ate and drank without a trace.

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

People who are full start to work very consciously.

Those who should help dress up the wedding candies, and those who should help divide the cigarettes, help divide the cigarettes.

Those who stick up happy characters, those who blow up balloons, those who hang firecrackers, those who pull colorful flowers...

Even washing dishes, boiling water, and making tea are all taken care of.

Let the three members of the Zhang family have their hands free to tidy up their own appearance.

Don't forget that Zhang Shihui's parents just arrived home yesterday and were busy meeting their in-laws and settling in for themselves.

Many trivial matters had to be sorted out by Xi Jinping who was sharpening his skills in battle.

Moreover, these people who came to help today did not know each other.

But the saying “there is strength in numbers” is true.

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

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

As for the neighbors in the same courtyard, seeing this excitement, they all re-evaluated the energy of the Zhang family and felt envious.

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

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

People who were in the same hospital as Zhang Shihui had already seen his new house.

I know that his home is not only filled with shiny foreign furniture.

There is also an 18-inch Hitachi color TV set and a pressure hot water bottle on the chest of drawers.

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

There is also a Sanyo cassette player with four speakers and dual cards on top.

The refrigerator has double doors, and the washing machine also has a double tub with a spin dryer.

The brocades on the bed were piled so high that they could almost reach the roof.

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

Let’s take a look at the wedding car someone found today.

Shanghai, Warsaw, Lada, Daihatsu... all parked in the alley, 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 is the first car.

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

These days, a single Hongqi can already make people proud and steal the show.

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

So all the neighbors in the alley came to Zhang Shihui's courtyard to watch the excitement.

Hey, for the first time, this alley was actually jammed with traffic.

As for the private discussions, other than being envious of the Zhang family's astonishing pomp.

I'm just guessing what a beautiful daughter-in-law she will have after such a big fight.

It's a pity that most people are destined to be disappointed, because the Zhang family's new wife is not attracted to this.

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

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

Several cars first took Zhang Shihui's parents and several neighbors from the same hospital to Biianfang, and then went to pick up the bride and her family.

As for the process of picking up the bride, it was extremely smooth.

Maybe he was too satisfied with Zhang Shihui's son-in-law, or maybe Liu Weijing's family was too kind.

No one in Liu Weijing's natal family interfered with this, and they deliberately made things difficult.

So that the wedding can start at half past eleven.

It is worth mentioning that in order to create an atmosphere of the scene, when the newlyweds got out of the car, colored paper was thrown everywhere and firecrackers worth ten hexagrams were set off.

Many guests actually brought their cameras spontaneously.

At that time, there had to be at least four or five people shooting at the newcomers who got off the bus.

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

As a result, not only Aunt Liu Weijing, who was accompanying the newlywed couple, was so frightened by the battle that she did not dare to get out of the car.

Many passers-by who saw this scene misunderstood it.

They also didn't see the bride and groom wearing Pierre Carton fashion.

Many people were confused about what was going on and thought some major foreign affairs event was being held.

Or maybe it was the second aunt who took a long time to get out of the car. The leader of some national holiday came here to taste our roast duck.

It has to be said that the popularity of cameras is a scene that has never been seen in weddings in the past, and it can be regarded as a symbolic progress of the era.

Zhang Shihui and Liu Weijing were lucky enough to capture many beautiful moments on film.

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

In the unit, except for the hotel general manager and customer service manager who were on a business trip, all other store leaders were basically present.

Even Liu Weijing’s parents, who were not supposed to show up according to tradition.

It was also because Zhang Shihui repeatedly persuaded her from the perspective that "men and women are the same" and "the feudal customs should be eradicated", breaking the old etiquette.

They happily became probably the first parents of a girl in Beijing to personally attend their daughter's wedding banquet.

The most important thing is Zhang Shihui's social friends outside. Almost all the people he invited came to save face.

From the Grain Bureau, the Bureau of Statistics, the Second Bureau of Commerce, the Ministry of Light Industry, the Ministry of Water Resources and Electric Power, and the Third Institute of the General Staff...

Anyway, everything big or small has some background.

Even though these people do not have high official positions, many of them are still young masters.

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

This is undoubtedly beneficial to Zhang Shihui.

Although the leader was curious about how Zhang Shihui hid so deeply, he suddenly discovered that his wedding standards were as good as those of the minister's son.

But he will no longer wonder where his money came from.

After all, if you can make so many useful friends, you can no longer just treat them like an idle person.

Such people can easily accomplish things that many others cannot, and they become troublesome.

Why bother with yourself?

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

The content of the wedding banquet is of course even better.

The century-old restaurant undertakes internal business, and the quality of the dishes is quite high.

Slices of roast duck, traditional delicacies, served one after another, steaming hot and served with heavy oil and red sauce. Being slammed into the center of the round table

Every guest was well-dressed and smiling. Drinking one glass after another, eating with oily lips, talking and laughing happily.

As for the content of the chat, of course most of it is inseparable from admiring the bride and groom and the quality of the wedding banquet.

Some people marveled that the cigarettes on the display were Peony and Double Happiness, and the wedding candy, in addition to toffee, was wine-filled chocolate.

Some people admired the fashionable clothes of the newlyweds and were curious about the prices of these two outfits.

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

Some people discussed going to the bride and groom's home after the wedding banquet to see what kind of program would be put on to embarrass them.

There are also people who take the initiative to help the bride and groom settle accounts and see how much money they will lose if they do such a thing...

Ning Weimin had a very relaxing day.

Ever since he accompanied Zhang Shihui to complete the task of picking up his bride, his life has been peaceful.

He hadn't had a break for a long time, so it was actually a rare opportunity for him to relax and sit down with his old colleagues and chat about the past.

In particular, pushing cups and changing cups is also helpful for conversation.

Especially when that girl Qu Xiao took the initiative to sit next to him and pour him wine, he chatted even more happily.

If Mi Xiaoran didn't seem to have a grudge against him, and her mouth was painted red and bulging, looking like a doormat, this meal would actually be very enjoyable.

But then again, the wedding banquet is the place that is most likely to stimulate certain sensitive nerves in women.

I don’t know if I was stimulated by the love between Zhang Shihui and Liu Weijing on stage.

I wonder if he couldn't bear to see Ning Weimin being the center of the table and being questioned by his female colleagues as if he were a spoiled brat.

Perhaps he was also disgusted with Ning Weimin's claim to be a bachelor for the rest of his life.

Suddenly, extremely unexpectedly, Mi Xiaoran announced an explosive news.

"I'm also getting married. The date hasn't been finalized yet, but it will be around the end of this month. I hope everyone can come by then. I originally wanted to tell everyone after it was finalized, but since everyone is here today, I think it's better to say it. good."

This immediately attracted the attention of everyone at the table and triggered a strong subsequent reaction.

"Really? Xiaoran."

"Why haven't I heard you say that?"

"No way, you are too good at keeping secrets..."

Unexpectedly, this was nothing. What really surprised people was what Mi Xiaoran said next.

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

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

But unfortunately, Ning Weimin's face only showed the same surprise as others, nothing else.

This didn't seem to be the reaction she expected, but instead made her expression distort.

That stubborn and hurt expression looked like someone had taken a hard wrench deep into his heart.
