After receiving the certificate, it is time to prepare for the marriage.
It doesn’t matter if you miss May Day. Sunday, May 22nd, is the tenth day of April in the lunar calendar. It’s a good day for couples.
The days seemed a bit tight, but everything needed for the marriage was not difficult for Hong Yanwu, who was rich, well-connected and well-connected, to get it done in time.
It’s just that things in the world are never particularly smooth.
Although Hong Yanwu had no financial burden, he couldn't help his own people causing trouble.
To be honest, the person who had the biggest disagreement with him was actually Shui Qing.
She is different from most girls. She is neither worldly nor vain. She doesn't like extravagance and waste, let alone ostentation.
Naturally, I advocate frugality and simplicity, and hope that all aspects of the wedding will be as simple as possible.
Otherwise, she would feel uneasy, and it was precisely because of this that she and Hong Yanwu made those pre-marital agreements regarding material restrictions.
But this is completely contrary to the opinions of her parents who advocate big things and want to be in the limelight.
It also conflicts with the Hong family's dignity, connections, and needs.
So how to make Shui Qing accept it with peace of mind, and how to coordinate the opinions of Shui Gengsheng and his wife.
Moreover, it had to satisfy objective reality and do things in a flawless manner so that relatives and friends would see it as such, which became something that made Hong Yanwu rack his brains.
Let’s talk about the house first.
Hong Yanwu gave up his unit to others, but the Song family’s unit was all in his hands.
At first, he chose the apartment in the commercial bureau with the best orientation and floor, and took Shui Qing to see the apartment.
As a result, after Shui Qing finished reading it, she felt that the junior residence was good, but she really wanted to move here, but she was a little unhappy.
I bet she is considering bringing Xiaoying to live here, so she won't be able to stay with her grandma and grandpa every day.
The neighbors here are also very lively. When I go home and close the door, I won’t come out. The children will definitely be lonely.
And if they live in a building, it would be awkward for my parents to live in a bungalow.
Hong Yanwu thought about it and thought it would be easy to handle.
It was said that there were two three-bedroom apartments in the compound of the Grain Bureau, so they and the Shui family could just move there.
But Shui Qing blushed again, thinking that she would be sorry for Hong Yanwu's relatives, and felt even more sorry.
Finally, after Hong Yanwu thought about it, there was only one way.
When he returned, he quickly discussed with Chen Liquan and said that he planned not to move, but wanted to use the Chen family's house to get married.
The three rooms of the Chen family are connected together, one foyer and two single rooms.
The two brothers now live together in Chen Liquan's own room, facing the north.
Hong Yanwu meant that Chen Liquan only needed to move to his parents' room and then clean up the vacated small room.
From now on, the foyer will be a public activity area for washing, eating, and watching TV.
When Chen Liquan heard this idea, not only did he not find it troublesome, he was also very happy, because the two brothers no longer had to separate.
So turning around, it turns out that Chen Liquan was more active than Hong Yanwu.
He kept flushing the water and calling her "sister-in-law", patting his chest to clean up the house neatly, and trying his best to persuade her to agree to this idea.
Looking at Chen Liquan's sincerity, he felt that this was very convenient and he could take care of both parents at the same time.
Shui Qing just said thank you and accepted it sheepishly.
After you have a house, it’s time for furniture and appliances.
Hong Yanwu took Shui Qing to some of the best furniture stores in the capital. They looked at Czech furniture and Bulgarian furniture, but nothing seemed suitable.
Because apart from Shui Qing who was scared by the price, the room was small and the furniture was big.
If nothing else, an imported large bed is about three meters long and can take up half a room.
The most important thing is that it also comes with a shelf, which is three meters high after installation, and is even higher than the roof.
Whoever wants to get something like this into a house would probably have to tear down a wall.
It can be seen from this that what kind of horse can be matched with what kind of saddle, and it is meaningless to blindly pursue class.
So Hong Yanwu came up with another idea, saying that we should just ask the eldest brother to help make a few items.
The boss's craftsmanship is pretty good, but the key is that he wishes I could ask him for help.
If I want to speak, my eldest brother will definitely be happy.
As expected, when Hong Yanwu mentioned this matter, he flattered him, and Hong Yanzheng was so happy.
Although it was inevitable to put on airs and get candies, after that I really worked hard to produce drawings and get materials.
Soon, they started working in the alley, talking about arms, pulling big saws, and pushing planes.
This incident just made up for the discord the brothers had caused due to their marriage for a while.
And that's not all.
In addition to these furniture, Hong Yanwu ignored Shuiqing's objection and insisted on spending more than 400 foreign exchange coupons to buy an imported dressing table with a soft seat at the Friendship Store.
Not for any other reason, but because Shui Qing feels expensive and reluctant to part with it.
But when she saw this piece of furniture, she couldn't help but love it from the bottom of her heart.
Good girls are like this, always wronging themselves.
But he can't treat his wife badly.
Compared to furniture, household appliances are actually better solutions.
Hong Yanwu did not compromise his hobbies. He purchased things that could actually improve the quality of life, such as refrigerators, washing machines, and electric fans.
In addition, since the Hong family hosted Hong Yanwen's wedding and showed his financial strength to the outside world, he gradually replaced the black and white TV with a color TV, and bought a tape recorder and a video recorder.
So it’s actually all there and there’s no need to buy anything else.
However, considering the situation of the Shui family, he still bought a new color TV and sent it to the Shui family.
As for this blatant flattery of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Shui Qing's objections were still ineffective.
Because not to mention that the entire Shui family opposed her, Hong Yanwu was also good at making excuses.
He insisted that the electrical appliances were all old, so he had to feel sorry for wronging her in this way, not to mention that it was the right thing to honor your parents.
In this way, it is far-fetched and fooled.
Of course, although Shui Qing was angry, it was also a sweet anger. Who made Hong Yanwu so capable of causing trouble?
Even if you make a mistake intentionally, it touches people.
As for the wedding banquet that was the most controversial, Hong Yanwu did follow Shui Qing's advice meticulously in the end and minimized the cost.
He neither held a grand banquet in the old house like he held a wedding for his second brother, nor did he go to the big restaurant to entertain guests.
Even the standards for tobacco and alcohol have been lowered, and "Tongzhou Laojiao" and "Double Happiness" cigarettes are used instead.
However, he has many friends and connections. Although he tried his best to reduce the ostentation, he still had to maintain the size of dozens of tables.
The final solution I came up with was to ask the administrative section chief to find a back door and use the factory’s canteen to do things.
Judging from the popularity between him and Shui Qing in the factory, there must be no one deliberately making things difficult for them.
Especially the big cafeteria, everyone from top to bottom relies on him to earn extra money, and they have benefited a lot.
Not only did no one object at all, but they all applauded.
Even Master Pang and Master Gou were holding back their energy to show off their skills and planned to take the opportunity to repay their feelings.
So this matter was approved after a formality.
In the end, the superior not only served them, but also agreed to send all overtime workers that day to the "halal canteen" to eat.
And except for Secretary Guo, almost everyone else in the factory leadership team gave face and accepted the invitation to the wedding banquet.
They were even given an extra two days off, so that their wedding leave could last for eight days in a row, which was definitely fun enough.
