The third thing is that we have to talk about the marriage between Yang Weifan and Zhou Manna.
When dealing with the marriage of their children, the Yang family and the Zhou family fully developed the military characteristics of "quick decision without delay". After finalizing the matter on New Year's Eve, they started preparations in full swing. .
Although all the men in the two families slapped this, it was only the two heroines Moody and Mrs. Zhou who planned the future. But it must be admitted that women seem to be born to do these things. Under the methodical arrangements of the two mothers, everything was taken care of.
The division of responsibilities and authorities between the two families is clear.
All food, clothing, and housing in the "Navy Courtyard" are provided by the Yang family. Since the Zhou family wanted to give the two young people a separate house near Haiphong, it was up to the Zhou family to decide where to go. As for many matters concerning the wedding and the reception, Moody first drew up a general framework, and the two families would discuss and add details later.
The two families did not want to wrong their children, but they also had some complacency in their hearts. Of course, they try their best to buy things for the children.
For the social classes of their two families, home appliances have replaced the ordinary family's pursuit of "three turns and one sound" and are ahead of the times.
Eighteen-inch color TVs and four-speaker tape recorders may be difficult for ordinary families, but for them, the trust relationship can be bought in stores and is actually nothing.
And no matter who buys them, there is not much difference. They are just complete sets and imported. There is really nothing to say. On the contrary, there is a distinction between high and low furniture.
At that time, the most important thing in marriage was furniture. Either go to a furniture store to buy it, or find someone to make it. It is a necessity for a wedding. It is a great loss of face for young men and women who want to get married without new furniture.
For example, "thirty-six legs" is popular among the people. The more furniture, the more respectable it is. If there wasn't even a new bed, the newlyweds' friends would be talking about it privately. "It seems like you don't have much money, so why are you still getting married when you are so poor!"
The standards of the Yang family and the Zhou family must be much higher than those of the private sector. They are not simply calculated based on the legs, but also the style and place of production.
To say that the Zhou family is really not careless, they visited almost all the furniture stores in the capital and finally got the best Romanian furniture in the capital.
But despite this, he was still outclassed by the Yang family. Because Moody not only had the 30,000 yuan given by Yang Weifan, but the Yang family also had a network of connections all over the country.
She actually asked someone to buy a set of "East German furniture" worth 3,000 yuan from the "Flower City" and transported it to the capital on a military plane.
After Zhou Manna saw this set of furniture, she was extremely satisfied. When I got back, I excitedly told my parents that Yang Weifan's mother was worthy of being an actress and had such good taste.
The furniture I bought is particularly magnificent. Not only are there sofas, beds, large wardrobes, TV cabinets, bookcases, polygonal cabinets, wine cabinets, and five-drawer cabinets, but the edges are all inlaid with gold decorations.
She then said that during this trip, she unexpectedly got two thousand yuan from the Yang family to buy clothes. She felt that Moody, the future mother-in-law, had no choice but to treat her better than her own mother.
People tend to exaggerate when they are happy, but you don’t have to say this in front of anyone. This made Mrs. Zhou a little displeased.
"Okay, you're already a member of the Yang family before you get married? Do you dislike your mother for being a bitch? Do you think your mother has wronged you?"
Well, just like this, the mother felt sour in her heart, and she persisted in getting angry with her daughter. No matter how nice she said, Zhou Manna ignored her.
In the end, Minister Zhou’s words worked and hit the nail on the head.
"You women, it's true! Jealousy will pop up at any time! You don't even think about it, what level is the Yang family? It's just one step away from the top. Is that something we can compare with? What's more, you Is this necessary? Moody is our real family member. Isn't it because our son-in-law is her only biological son? Why don’t you blame others? You, let me tell you what’s good about you!”
After saying this, Mrs. Zhou also understood and embarrassedly called herself confused.
Zhou Manna also lost no time in acting coquettishly, hugging her mother's neck and never letting go. After some fun, the awkwardness between mother and daughter was over.
Later, Zhou Manna used the money given by Moody to start a hearty shopping spree.
She took Xuan Ye to accompany her, flying like a butterfly in major department stores all day long. Picking this and that, it feels like you want to buy all the fashionable clothes on the market.
Even when they arrived at the Friendship Store, Zhou Manna even offered to give her some clothes in order to let Xuan Ye be her bridesmaid.
Xuan Ye is not a philistine girl, but having said that, everyone has a love for beauty. What's more, the two of them are cousins. Infected by Zhou Manna's cheerfulness, they inevitably became interested and happily accompanied her to become a "shopaholic".
The two girls have enough spending power, are beautiful and have status, they can be called two exquisite fruits of the 1980s. This makes them stand out in a store full of foreigners, almost becoming a "specimen" figure in a friendship store.
In the end, with the help of the driver, the two of them returned happily with their bags packed. Their dashing figure left an unforgettable impression on the many saleswomen who witnessed it.
I can’t tell whether it’s jealousy or envy, but almost everyone has to sigh, “Human, it’s so unfair. Look at this person, he was born with a golden key in his mouth...”
It has to be said that although the Zhou family is not as wealthy as Moody, they spend money like water. But things about the house were done quite nicely.
The Zhou family had a clever trick. They actually bought two bedrooms on the second floor of a unit with doors facing each other. It is said to be one set, but in fact it is two sets.
They asked someone to open a door in the wall adjacent to the two suites. This creates a five-bedroom apartment. Two toilets and two kitchens. The total area is more than 120 square meters.
In the early 1980s, people still relied entirely on the allocation of houses in their work units. To have a house of this size, it only takes a director or director to have this qualification. If you are a soldier, you must also be a cadre at the division level.
Can Moody be unhappy after seeing this? Although he said, "Isn't this kind of room a bit excessive for two children? There are many old comrades who don't have one yet. Isn't it suitable?"
But it was obvious that her words were a bit untrue, and the satisfaction in her eyes could not be concealed at all.
Mrs. Zhou is also very considerate and answers very appropriately.
"It depends on how you say it. This house is ostensibly for two children, but we have to consider it for our parents. Just say that Comrade Zhenhua doesn't come here often, is it so close to "Haifang", you Mu The leader doesn’t come here often? In the future, Lao Zhou and I will come often. Wouldn’t it be a big joke if we don’t even have a room to rest? What’s more, Wei Fan is the second-largest child in the country at such a young age? He is a level actor, and his future is even more limitless. In terms of level, he can already enjoy division-level treatment, right? It’s not enough for him to be given a guard and a driver. Is it wronged by the state? Are the standards just empty talk? I think this kind of house is quite qualified.”
As a result, the two women looked at each other and smiled. They all have a feeling of great tacit understanding, and feel that the other party is particularly considerate of themselves. Of course, everyone hopes that the two children can get their certificates as soon as possible so that they can become the third generation as soon as possible.
So we came to the final planning process. After some cordial and harmonious discussions, many matters related to Yang Weifan and Zhou Manna's obtaining certificates and holding a banquet were quickly worked out one by one by them.
