It is also 10:20 on May 1, 1981.

Li Fu was busy, assigning people to hang firecrackers outside.

The old neighbors in Furuli were drinking tea and chatting, exchanging a very profound question with emotion - "Why can people who are also living in the world, pleasant to each other, enjoy things?" It’s just different.”

Hong Lucheng and Wang Yunlin were greeting Wang Hanping, who was accompanied by Hong Yanzheng, with courtesy.

Bian Jiangong also just picked up Shou Jingfang and his son from the "Tea and Food Alley".

Coincidentally, his taxi drove almost head-on and face-to-face with Director Song's family's car, one north and one south, and arrived at the Hong family's old house almost simultaneously.

But because everyone knew they were visitors, no one was embarrassed to stop forward first, but froze politely.

At the same time, the team that had already set off to welcome the bride arrived at the door of the Xu family in the Jinyuchi District Government compound on time.

What's more, it seems that the car standoff in front of the old house is some kind of omen. The marriage process indeed encountered some unsatisfactory obstacles.

First of all, the wedding team did not expect that something went wrong downstairs of the Xu family and cars could not pass.

This is all because new buildings are still being built in the compound and trucks come and go frequently.

Not only are there a lot of unused building materials piled in front of the building. Moreover, a large piece of the ground downstairs sank in, revealing a big hole.

This must have happened in the past two days, because Hong Yanwen came here last week and it was still good here.

Of course the car didn't dare to drive in front of the building, so it stopped at the intersection outside.

As the "marriage wives", Gu Lingye and Hong Yanwen had to get off the car and walk with the five "marriage officials" Hong Yanwu, Chen Liquan, "General", "Sanjiezi" and "Xiapaizi". Go in and greet the bride.

Unexpectedly, just as he arrived at the door of the building, there was another awkward moment.

The door of Qingqing Building is actually yellow paper, and the red word "囍" on it is not written straight, but cut out of red paper and pasted on it.

What does this mean?

According to the rules of the capital, if the doorstep is reversed, the doorway of the woman’s house will have the word “囍” written in red on yellow paper.

Under what circumstances is it appropriate to post text?

You have to get your stepson married, which means that the happy event is close to you.

So, this is completely out of order. What will it look like if others see it?

Gu Lingye frowned at that time, but she found that the others didn't pay attention, and they didn't say much.

After thinking about it, maybe the woman didn't understand the old rules, or maybe something went wrong and she was negligent. I plan to go up and ask later, as long as the new house doesn't have this sticker on it.

This way she endured it. After going upstairs, she felt relieved because the happy words on the door of Xu's house were normal.

But at this time, they encountered another obstacle. The Xu family refused to let them in. The people inside have to fight with each other and make the groom go through three levels before he is willing to open the door.

In the first level, someone asked the groom to read three happy poems to test his literary talent.

Hong Yanwen was not afraid of this at all, not to mention that Gu Lingye was there to help and remind him, and he passed smoothly.

Only the second level is a bit embarrassing. The people inside actually asked the groom to shout loudly, "Mom, Dad, the door is open!". But no matter how Hong Yanwen shouted, he still replied, "Can't hear you! Louder!"

After this quarrel several times, the people who came to get married became a little unhappy, and everyone could see that there was deliberate embarrassment in it.

The same goes for Hong Yanwen. Hearing Xu Xiaojun's greetings of brother and brother, he knew very well that this boy was probably the one who took the lead in causing trouble. There was a moment of silence, and even he didn't bother to shout.

Fortunately, Xu Chongya was also waiting inside and shouted, "Open the door, open the door. Xu Xiaojun, what are you doing?"

In this way, the people inside opened the door just a crack and entered the next process.

The third level is to ask for red envelopes to please money.

Hong Yanwu had actually prepared for this part of the event, which is commonly known as the "money-seeing event" by later generations, and included ten yuan in each red envelope. I brought ten in total.

This is more than the monthly salary of two people, which is definitely a lot of money.

It’s just that people are greedy. Ten red envelopes were stuffed into them, but there wasn’t enough in them. Some people actually joked that "the Xu family married a daughter of a daughter," which meant that she had to pay nine hundred.

This time Hong Yanwu was really angry. He thought that a thousand dollars would be nothing to me! But our family has already spent more than 10,000 yuan to marry this daughter-in-law, which is more than worthy of you. Can I still tolerate your bad habits?

So he said hello, and without waiting for Hong Yanwen to say anything else, he directly led Chen Liquan and others to force the door open.

Just like this, the people inside also got angry. As soon as the door opened, seven or eight young men rushed forward, blocking the aisle with stern looks. That means they are still not allowed to enter.

Of course, this posture is fine for dealing with ordinary people. In terms of strength, no one can stop Hong Yanwu and the others if they try to break through. Once they were done, they would all stick to the wall.

But in this case, wouldn’t the tip of the needle really stand up against the wheat awn? If you get angry and get stiff, good things will turn into bad things.

Fortunately, Gu Lingye did not forget her duty as the "marriage wife", stopped both parties at the right time, and played her due role.

She can talk and quickly smooth things over with a smile. It is claimed that the main purpose of celebrating behind closed doors is to wait for an auspicious time, when the clouds open and the sun rises. Today's weather forecast is from sunny to cloudy, and now the sun is shining outside. What a wonderful time. Why delay any longer? If we really have to wait until the clouds cover the sky, it will be bad for the couple.

In this case, it is difficult for the people inside to persevere regardless of the situation. Seeing that Xu Xiaojun's face was confused, they all moved out of the way of Dao'er and let the wedding party in.

It’s just that the Hong family won’t be happy for long, as trouble is still to come. Because the little devil is easy to get rid of, but the old devil is difficult to subdue.

In a room full of people from the Xu family, next to Xu Bingquan and his wife, there was a dry old lady who was as steady as a rock.

She is not only Xu Chongya's aunt. Moreover, she also has the same noble status as Gu Lingye, and is today's "bridal wife".

This "aunt" was not willing to accept the fact that Gu Lingye had cleared the obstacles with just a few words and picked the person up so easily.

She knew very well that she had a heavy responsibility today. She had to hold on to the strength of the bride's family and act as the backbone. She must not let her husband's family gain the upper hand. At least you have to make your husband's family feel grateful and ask for help again and again before they let go.

So after Gu Lingye and Hong Yanwen met Xu Bingquan and Yu Wanfen, she put on the air of a celebrity singing a "sealing box opera" without waiting for any more polite greetings to each other. The first question came up.

"How many cars have you brought? Can we accommodate so many relatives and friends?"

Hong Yanwen reported the situation honestly.

I heard that four cars came, as well as a bus. The Xu family was somewhat surprised, and for a moment they were no longer picky.

But "scheming" and "old people are the best" are not for nothing. "Auntie" still has something to say. At this time, he deliberately asked knowingly, "Is the car parked at the gate of the unit downstairs?"

This is definitely not possible. Not to mention it was Yang Yaohua's car, there was no room for any mistakes. Even a shabby taxi that is doing its best work on the sidelines cannot take this risk casually.

As a result, "aunt" got the trick, so she held on to this one and didn't let go. No matter how much Gu Lingye and Hong Yanwen tried to persuade them, they refused to be accommodating.

The old lady's principle is mother's son. The "aunt" said that the bride should not set foot on the ground when she leaves the unit. Taking a car now is equivalent to going to the wedding sedan. Where in the world is there any reason for the bride to show herself in public and wait for a long time to get into the sedan chair? Not to mention there is a hole in the ground, even if the sky collapses and the ground collapses, you still have to drive the car to the door of the unit to pick people up.

As a result, the Xu family's relatives and friends all looked gloating again, watching the Hong family's jokes together.

Everyone in the wedding team was anxious and didn't know what to do.

At this time, even Hong Yanwu was scratching the back of his head. His idea was to let the groom carry the bride on his back and hold the bride in his arms, but the "aunt" rejected them all with excuses, and there was no way he could do anything about it.

In fact, let alone him, what about the bride? Xu Chongya just begged the Hong family to stop being so superstitious. The "aunt" scolded her angrily.

"Xiaoya, even your parents didn't say a word. Who do you think you have to say? Besides, who am I doing for my own good?" She was knocked shut in one fell swoop, and she could only curl her lips and lower her head. I rubbed my clothes.

Needless to say, under this situation, everyone in the Hong family was sweating and jealous.

How did you say it? One thing is reduced to another, and the brine is used to make tofu.

At this time, it was proved once again that it is so important to "marry the right wife".

Don’t forget who Gu Lingye is? That is a teacher who is knowledgeable and courteous. The more reasonable the "aunt" is, the less afraid she becomes.

At this time, she had a clue in her heart. She first pretended to persuade Xu Chongya, and then spoke highly of her "aunt".

She said that the elders were right, the customs of the capital should be discussed. This is not superstition, but a blessing, auspiciousness, and good wishes.

Not in a hurry or in a hurry, he changed the subject and said to "aunt", "I know that you want to take care of everything for the sake of your children. But you have to be considerate to some extent. There are often times in the world. Things happen out of our own hands, and oversights are inevitable. We do things to make the two families happy, and we have to be considerate of each other. Do you think that’s the right thing to do? ”

"Auntie" thought Gu Lingye's plan was over and sneered.

“I have heard about the name of the Hong family for a long time, and heard that it has been in the capital for hundreds of years. I thought that my child’s future husband’s family would know the most etiquette. Unexpectedly, it is not as good as our Xu family, who has shallow roots. Can you bear with me? Score situation . You have to do this all your life, how can you deal with the face of two families? What’s more, people are more important than others. When you were doing things, were you willing to be vague?"

It is indeed tough to say this. But the old lady doesn’t know the depth.

Yes, I accidentally fell into a pit and sprained my foot.

Gu Lingye smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, I have something to discuss with you." He then went over and whispered in "Auntie's" ear about pasting the red word "囍" on the yellow paper downstairs. Son said.

In less than five seconds, "aunt" was stunned, and her face twitched, as if she had twisted her hamstring. After another five seconds, her poor and broken Beijing movie was screaming louder and louder.

"Who changed the word "hi" downstairs? Which of you changed it? Who did it?"

Who? The culprits are Xu Xiaojun and a good buddy of his.

At around eight o'clock in the morning, someone scratched a hole in the happy character on the door of the unit. Xu Xiaojun, who went downstairs to secretly smoke, was not happy.

The boy who was with him at the time was the son of the district office director, and he said, "The happy character in your family is too monotonous, and it's written in big characters. It's so tacky. Just scrape it off, let's change it." One. Why don’t you ask my sister to cut out the big red words for “hi”? Let’s put them on big yellow paper. The combination of red and yellow will be so eye-catching.”

In this way, the two boys who did not understand the game started playing "foreign".

After figuring out the whole story, the "aunt" who was worried about the Xu family almost lost her temper, and Xu Bingquan and his wife almost stared at their son to death.

At this time, Gu Lingye was the one who spoke loudly and said, "Young people don't understand, and they have good intentions. It doesn't matter. What's more, omissions are inevitable, and good things take a long time."

What else can be said after that? Gu Lingye has integrated reason, etiquette, and emotion into one, and the Xu family cannot help but refuse to give in or compromise. As the saying goes, since we are all foxes for thousands of years, we should stop playing nonsense.

So in the end, Hong Yanwu's initiative was adopted. After going downstairs, the bride asked the groom to carry her to the car in person, and her shoes were not allowed to touch the floor.

Although Hong Yanwen is a little tired, it is good to have this result that everyone can accept. The two Hong brothers could not but respect Gu Lingye and feel grateful.

Hong Yanwu did not forget Zhang Luo. While asking "Sanjizi" to go down and exchange the word "happy", he asked "Xiaipizi" to get the camera in the car, preparing to take pictures of this romantic scene later.

In this way, Xu's family became interested again, and everyone just found it fun. After a while, I heard a shout from downstairs, and everyone laughed and went downstairs with the bride and groom.

Sure enough, this bad thing turned into a good thing.

Amidst the bustle of joy and the attention of the neighbors in the compound, the bride Xu Chongya's mood as she hugged her lover's neck cannot be described by the word "excited" at all. She was in an extremely excited state of happiness and satisfaction. Feeling.

Time and space have no meaning to her, and she wishes this journey would never end.

As for the crowd following behind, they were booing and booing, and they were dumbfounded when they actually walked to the front of the motorcade. Even Xu Bingquan felt a sudden change in his heart.

Because they didn't expect that the drivers of the five cars were all wearing military uniforms. Secondly, I didn’t expect that the car with the first prize was actually a “Hongqi” car. Thirdly, the number plate of the “Hongqi” car was really scary.

"Hai A002"!

This...is this the Hong family's car?

This is the courtyard of the district government. Everyone has sharp eyes. Who can’t understand it?

Only Hong Yanwu was secretly happy when he saw the sudden calmness of the guests when he opened the car door for the bride and groom.

He knew very well that the Xu family's father and son must be in a panic, and they were probably cursing "fuck you" in their hearts. Just because of this, the car was borrowed for free.

Hmph, I have to let you know what the Hong family's character is like.

Hey, this taste is like drinking a glass of ice-cold water.
