Unknowingly, it was past half past twelve. Deputy Director Chang thoroughly arranged the guests, and finally realized that he could not delay any longer, so he had to go to Hong Yanwu to discuss the opening of the banquet.
But who would have thought that at this moment, the real finale of the show would begin.
I heard a "squeaking" sound outside the restaurant, and a large sedan stopped at the gate of "Lao Zhengxing". As the door opened, dozens of people came out with a "hula la".
And these are not ordinary people. They are all wearing navy gray military uniforms. There must be thirty female soldiers, all of them beautiful. Male soldiers are in the minority, but they are all handsome. They lined up quickly and lined up neatly at the entrance of the restaurant.
The guests in the restaurant were all dumbfounded at this moment, and no one knew what the commotion outside was about.
Deputy Director Chang and his wife looked at each other and rushed to ask Hong Yanwu what was going on.
Unexpectedly, Hong Yanwu was also unaware, but he was shrewd. As soon as he saw the navy uniform, he guessed that it was Yang Weifan who had called for reinforcements. He turned around and asked, "Did you invite me?"
Yang Weifan had already stood up by this time, smiled faintly at him, and nodded again.
"I called to invite him, so he's here. I'll pick him up first, and we'll talk about it later..."
After that, he arranged his military uniform and took the initiative to go out and greet him. Not long after, they walked back into the house with two military officials, a man and a woman.
Both of them are about forty years old. The woman is handsome and handsome, and the man is handsome. Just by looking at his grandeur, you can tell that the official is not young.
In particular, the female officer was holding a bouquet of flowers in her hand. When she came closer, she recognized the bride and groom and immediately put the flowers into Gu Lingye's hand. The male officer also took the opportunity to congratulate Chang Xianzhang.
At this time, Yang Weifan quickly made a formal introduction to the Chang family, saying that the female officer was Deputy Commander Xu of the "Coastal Defense Song and Dance Ensemble" and the male officer was Director Cui. They also said that they had just finished the "May Day Performance" and were here in a hurry. A total of thirty-eight people came, just enough to fill the remaining four tables.
Hey guys, even the military art troupe has moved here!
At this time, not only the Chang family members were stunned, but everyone else was also shocked!
With a sound of "Oh——", there was a commotion in the whole restaurant.
This is an era that worships soldiers the most. Needless to say, the arrival of these artistic soldiers who perform specifically for leaders immediately adds a sense of majesty to the marriage!
In order to have these guests participate, does it matter whether the time is auspicious or not? This is the most revolutionary symbol!
So everyone present who knew the whole story of today's incident all looked at Yang Weifan with admiration, and all thought of one question - where did this kid come from?
Even Hong Yanwu couldn't help but secretly give Yang Weifan a thumbs up.
That means, OK! You can even think of such a trick, you are so awesome!
"Old Chang! Old Chang! Don't be cautious, invite the guests in quickly..."
Seeing Deputy Director Chang still standing there stupidly, with no reaction at all. He Jiefu lost no time in reminding him.
Thankfully, Deputy Director Chang finally came to his senses and quickly and passionately begged the two officers to bring the art soldiers in and take their seats.
At this time, Yang Weifan had another idea. He said that since all the guests were here, there was also a photographer. Such a great opportunity, why don’t we all go outside and take a group photo together. It can also be considered as a souvenir for today.
This proposal is simply a good thing for the Chang family, and other people also praised it repeatedly.
You don’t need to ask. Who wouldn’t want to take photos with famous Peking opera artists and art troupes? This is an opportunity that is rarely encountered in ordinary times! If you want to display this photo at home, it will be awesome!
In this way, nearly a hundred guests in the room got up and gathered outside the restaurant door soon. Everyone posed and took photos together under the arrangement of the photographer.
In addition, the front door is not only a downtown business district but also adjacent to Tiananmen Square. This scene shocked many people, who gathered around and pointed and watched. Many people guessed what kind of big shot was here to treat guests. The scene was really lively.
At this moment, Deputy Director Chang and his wife stood in the center of the crowd, standing on both sides of the newlyweds. Although their faces did not show any dew, the uneasiness in their hearts was conceivable.
They would never have imagined that their son's wedding banquet could be so grand and beautiful an hour ago.
Everything that happened today was like a dream or a scene, so unreal, but it actually happened.
Faced with the crowds of people and loud cheers in front of them, they felt like they were going from **** to heaven. They were both in disbelief and overjoyed at the same time. No one can experience this complex and unspeakable feeling unless they have experienced it personally.
So their most natural reaction is to become two puppets who don't use their brains, just unconsciously immersed in the beautiful scenery in front of them.
Interestingly, right across from them is the majestic Qianmen Building.
This ancient building has withstood hundreds of years of wind and rain, but like an old man who has seen all kinds of life, he silently looks down at everything under his nose very rationally.
For almost a minute, before the camera freezes, history and destiny looked at each other wordlessly and full of taste...
The Chang family's marriage was a great success. After taking the group photo, the wedding banquet officially started. Everything went fine after that. There are no more troubles and awkwardness, only celebration and joy.
The Chang family's banquet standards are of course high-standard, including wedding cigarettes, wedding candy, wedding wine, and the arrangement of the dishes is also very brilliant.
The big platter with the red word "Happy" is the most beautiful, arranged in the shape of a goldfish playing in the water. The six cold cuts were generous, evenly cut, and elegantly arranged. The ten hot dishes include chicken, duck, fish, live shrimp and eel, and the colors are soy red, pink and white, bright yellow, and green. It is a dazzling array. The guests present were not picky. They praised it as soon as they saw and tasted it.
After the drinks were over, there was an entertainment program. Although due to the age, "making trouble" was not popular at this time, it was not empty.
Because the two famous Peking opera masters were in a good mood today, but they were too embarrassed to eat and drink for free, they opened their mouths. They each sang a "model opera" acapella, which entertained the older people first.
Following the art troupe, they also performed performances, including excerpts from the opera "Red Coral" and several songs such as "The People's Navy Marches Forward", "Xisha My Lovely Hometown", "The Spring Water Ding Dong", etc., allowing young people to also I feel that this trip is well worth it.
In short, this wedding banquet was almost a high-level party, and even the people in the kitchen were attracted to watch. Of all the guests, there was no one who was unhappy, happy, or excited. The venue didn't end until three o'clock in the afternoon, and many people still had unfinished business.
The consequences of this incident far exceeded Chang's family expectations. The Chang family's respectability was spread word of mouth, and soon became a hotly debated news within the Xuanwu District Education Bureau and the High School Affiliated to the Normal University.
For those snobs who didn't go, some were regretful, some were jealous, and some were stubbornly unwilling to believe it.
But what was even more unexpected was that within a month, the Chang family ushered in the day of "liberation" at lightning speed.
At around ten o'clock that morning, He Jiefu personally accompanied Deputy Director Chang and his wife to the conference room of the Xuanwu District Education Bureau.
Then the director of the Organization and Cadres Division of the Municipal Education Bureau read out two documents in public, titled "The Decision to Correct the **** Issue of Comrade Chang Qiugeng" and "The Decision to Correct the **** Issue of Comrade Kuang Meiyun" 》. (At that time, there was a difference between "removing the hat" and "correcting" to rehabilitate the "old right". "Removing the hat" meant for the real "old right", while "correcting" meant misdeclaration)
Yes, it is the names of Chang Xianzhang’s parents in the two documents.
Just after the document was read out, He Jiefu announced another decision on behalf of the organization. "From now on, Comrade Chang Qiugeng and Comrade Kuang Meiyun will have their reputations restored, their party memberships restored, and their ranks restored, and they will be given three additional years of salary." Then he personally handed the two read documents into their hands.
At this moment, Deputy Director Chang and his wife, who was again called "comrade" after their names, cried. The hands holding the documents were even more trembling.
This is a mixed emotion. Do they feel wronged? Do they feel hateful? Feeling numb? Maybe it's a bit of both. But more than anything, it is a kind of hope from the heart, the relief of having a big mountain removed from my body, and feeling that my life is heading forward. I feel warm all over.
So when He Jiefu finally asked Deputy Director Chang and his wife what they wanted to say, Kuang Meiyun said, "Thank you for the organization, the stone in my heart fell to the ground." Chang Qiugeng said, "I am very grateful to Secretary ****** and sincerely grateful to Minister Jiefu..."
It was the last sentence that prompted him and He Jiefu to hold hands tightly together in public! There is no more grudge between them!
In this way, not only did the Chang family get closer and closer to the He family, creating a story of "turning hostility into friendship", Deputy Director Chang and his wife also became dignitaries in the education community of Xuanwu District again.
The most affordable thing is of course the three years of back pay. Chang Qiugeng and Kuang Meiyun together have a total of seven thousand yuan.
Now not only the Chang family's wedding money was easily returned to Hong Yanwu. The two children, Chang Xianzhang and Chang Xinhua, also received financial support of 2,000 yuan each.
And since Chang Qiugeng and Kuang Meiyun were both among the first batch of "corrected" "old rightists", they did not have any real power like the later "cadre overflow" stage.
Kuang Meiyun teaches Chinese, so she naturally restarted her teaching career.
Although Chang Qiugeng can no longer take care of teaching work as before, he is responsible for the overall labor insurance and welfare work within the entire Education Bureau and primary and secondary schools in Xuanwu District, and he also has a certain say in salary increases. decision-making power.
This is equivalent to him becoming the God of Wealth of the Education Bureau, so who dares to underestimate him? Naturally, those who had just slighted the Chang family regretted it and started to fly into the Chang family like flies, hoping to ease the relationship by giving gifts in private.
As for Deputy Director Chang himself, although he despises these people from the bottom of his heart, years of ups and downs have made him unwilling to offend villains again. So they all expressed understanding, treated each other with gentle words, declined gifts politely, and kept a respectful distance.
I have to say that the Chang family was indeed extremely lucky. It was precisely because of Hong Yanwu's help that they were able to pull their legs out of the quagmire in advance.
Comparatively speaking, most people in similar situations do not have this blessing, and most of them are still enduring pain and suffering at this time.
