Return To 1977 Chapter 657: Eleven o’clock
lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!
It was almost exactly eleven o'clock, just when Wang Yunlin was absent-mindedly saying polite words, couldn't help but be distracted frequently, and moved her eyes to the second door of the old house.
"Xiao Baizi" just like "Xiao Zhuanfeng" in "Journey to the West" happily ran in to report that the wedding team was back.
For a time, not only did the mother's heart feel at ease, but everyone in the courtyard was also excited.
A wedding invitation was given to "Xiao Baizi", and soon, the Hong family couple took everyone out of the house.
As soon as everyone came out, they saw that the opposite side of the alley was full of residents near "Meishi Street", watching the excitement from a distance.
On both sides of the Hong family's courtyard gate, five on each side, are large whips picked up with bamboo poles. Naturally, those carrying whips were all Hong Yanwu's people. They had already smoked cigarettes and could light them at any time.
Looking further away, at the north entrance of the street, a motorcade was slowly approaching.
Why is it so appropriate?
Hey, this is all arranged by Li Fu.
Half an hour ago, he asked "Xiaobaizi" and "Dayong" to ride a bicycle and wait at both ends of "Meishi Street".
He said that as soon as he discovered the convoy, he would report it immediately. As a result, "Xiaobaizi" had better luck than "Dayong" and won the lottery.
How about other words, it would be better if someone knowledgeable could arrange it?
The same thing happened next. Li Fu asked "Xiaobaizi" to go to the concierge and take out the confetti that had been prepared for everyone to grab. On the other side, he saw that it was almost done and gave a decisive order.
Listening to the sound of "splitting", when the fire was lingering, the whole ten -hanging whip was put together. That's an amazing momentum.
At the same time, the wedding car stopped in front of the Hong family's old house through smoke and fog, amid many envious eyes and amidst the staggering din.
The first person to get out of the car was Hong Yanwu. He got out of the passenger seat and was about to open the door for the newcomer.
Unexpectedly, this was a bit pretentious, and Li Fu actually stopped him from letting him pass.
While he was stunned, he saw Li Fu waving to Hong Yanru, who had been waiting aside for a long time. Then he gave her a big red apple that he had prepared and gave her a few more instructions.
In the end, it was the girl who opened the car door and put the apple into the bride's hand.
When the knowledgeable old people witnessed this scene, they couldn’t help but admire it and highly praised this link.
Even the "aunt" who was riding in the same car with the bride and groom was very satisfied with the arrangement of her husband's family.
Before she even got off the bus, she started chattering in a low voice.
"It's really good. Look at the fireworks. It's solemn and lively... Yes, according to the old order, the newlyweds just can't get off the sedan empty-handed. This apple is so lucky... Hey, if I had known that people are so particular, we should also Prepare a treasure bottle filled with millet and take it with you..."
This is the first time this "bridal wife" has praised the family.
Hong Yanwen and Xu Chongya smiled at each other with a tacit understanding, even though they couldn't understand it. But the unhappiness that Chacai had when picking up the bride was blown away by the oncoming festive wind as the car door opened.
And then came the moment that best reflected the enthusiasm of the guests.
The moment the bride and groom got off the bus, confetti flew up and fell from the sky amidst the cheers of welcome from many relatives and friends.
The groom, the bride, the "aunt" who was seeing off the bride, Hong Yanwu and Hong Yanru were all enveloped in it regardless of each other.
And when they walked all the way into the courtyard, even Li Fu, who was following behind, had his white hair become colorful. Almost everyone has "joy" in their bodies.
Joy flows lively in the Hong family’s old house, and joy spreads in people’s laughter and laughter.
At this time, a group of white pigeons raised by someone unknown, like an uninvited band, were hovering in the clear sky directly above the yard for fun, and the sound of pigeon whistles was heard.
Crisp, loud, exciting...
The bride was successfully received, but the wedding ceremony was not in a hurry.
Because first, the groom and the bride must be accompanied into the room by the "marrying wife" and the "bridal wife". Dust off the paper scraps and debris from your body and take a sip of tea. You need to take a short rest before re-doing your makeup.
Secondly, some important guests from the Hong and Xu families did not come.
The Xu family is mainly colleagues who wait. One was Deputy Secretary Wang of the district committee who came to congratulate him on behalf of senior district officials and the district mayor, and there was another deputy district chief He who was close to Xu Bingquan. They are all high-ranking officials and will come in their own cars, but because of their dignified status, they will naturally arrive a little later.
The main people waiting for the Hong family are Yang Weifan, Zhou Manna, Su Xiaoming, and Yu Wanyu, a famous actor from the Kunqu Opera Troupe who asked their neighbor Tailor Su to invite them on their behalf.
This is not because they are acting like leaders, but because it coincides with the festival and they all have performance tasks. If you come here, you have to wait until the official business is over before you can come over.
I can’t tell you the exact time. Anyway, if you can, just wait. As long as the wedding ceremony doesn’t take place later than noon, that’s fine.
Just waiting like this, something happened again that shouldn't have happened.
Because although people have gradually sat down and become still, the activities of the human heart cannot be calmed.
To be fair, the Hong family's arrangements and today's scene were far beyond the expectations of the Xu family's relatives and friends.
Whether it was the unknown depth of the Hong family's house and courtyard, the red silk everywhere, the exquisite cups, saucers, and tea sets, or the flow of people, they were all speechless and amazed.
So what if there are many district government cadres among them? No matter how many restaurants they had been to, they never had this grandeur.
The only comparable restaurant in the capital is the original "Capital Restaurant" and now the "Cuihua Building".
Although the layout is similar, the waiters at "Cuihua Building" are all perfunctory and have a slack work attitude. They treat foreign guests and domestic guests completely differently. How can they compare with the attentiveness and attentiveness of these young people today? thoughtful?
Don't say that Yu Wanfen was dumbfounded. She couldn't help but blush because she had said to Hong Yanwen that a bungalow was not as good as a building.
Even Xu Bingquan did not expect that the courtyard that was so miserable and desolate back then could regain such brilliance after being renovated today.
It’s just that the more this happens, the more unbalanced they feel.
After the initial shock, a smell comparable to old vinegar came to my mind as I observed more and more carefully and discovered more and more.
Look at this room, look at this courtyard, look at this furnishings, look at this table...
How virtuous and capable are the Hong family? To be able to enjoy such a life. Senior officials and ministers are not so lucky, right?
No matter what, a common man can't overpower a revolutionary cadre, right? Compared with the scene in front of me, the status and treatment at the department and bureau level have become a joke.
Is it really true that after decades of hard work, we finally returned to before liberation? Humph, the evil bourgeoisie.
Jealousy is caused by narrow-mindedness, as if we have returned to more than twenty years ago. Xu Bingquan and Yu Wanfen both vaguely felt that their past hatred for the rich and powerful had returned. They can't help but want to "beat the tiger again" to be happy.
Of course, they sober up quickly.
Because the reality is that the Hong family has not only become their sons and daughters' in-laws by accident. And it’s no longer what it used to be. His social connections should not be underestimated, and his level was even higher than his.
No matter from which aspect, the Xu family can benefit a lot. This is also a good thing.
But for some reason, the sour taste in my heart was hard to control.
They always feel that the benefits they can get from it are still not enough to make up for the lack of spirituality, which is so uncomfortable and painful.
In this way, since they have doubts in their hearts, they will naturally think instinctively about how to find some self-esteem and gain more benefits from the Hong family.
As the saying goes, it’s not difficult to do something now, but when is it difficult? So they also had opinions on the seating arrangement.
