Chapter 104: Eleven o'clock
It was almost eleven o'clock, just when Wang Yunlin was absent-mindedly saying polite words, and couldn't help but be distracted frequently, and moved her eyes to the second gate of the old mansion.
"Little Baizi" rushed in like the "Little Diamond Wind" in "Journey to the West", saying that the marriage team was back.
For a while, not only was my mother's heart hanging in mid-air steady, but the people in the courtyard were also excited.
A happy seal was given to the "little hundred sons", and soon, the old couple of the Hong family 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 the "Coal Market Street", watching the excitement from afar.
On both sides of the courtyard gate of the Hong family, there are five on each side, all of which are big inspection whips picked up with bamboo poles. Naturally, the people who carried the whip were all Hong Yanwu, who had already smoked cigarettes and could set off at any time.
Looking further away, at the north entrance of the street, a convoy was slowly approaching.
How is it so suitable?
Hey, it's all from Li Fu's arrangement.
Half an hour ago, he asked "Xiao Baizi" and "Dayong" to pedal a bicycle and wait at both ends of the "Coal Market Street".
said that as soon as it was discovered, the convoy would report it quickly. As a result, "Little Baizi" had better luck than "Dayong" and won the lottery.
How else to say that it would be good to have someone knowledgeable to arrange it?
The next thing was the same, Li Fu asked "Little Baizi" to go to the gatehouse to take out the confetti that had been prepared earlier for everyone to catch. On the other side, he looked almost there, and gave a categorical order.
Just listening to the sound of "crackling", I saw the fire and smoke, and the whole ten whips were set off together. That's called an amazing momentum.
At the same time, the marrying car stopped in front of the gate of the Hong family's old mansion in the midst of many envious eyes and in the midst of the astonishing hustle and bustle.
The first to get out of the car was Hong Yanwu, who got out of the car from the co-pilot and was about to pull the door for the newcomer.
Unexpectedly, this was a bit self-inflicted, and Li Fu actually stopped him from passing.
And just when he was stunned, he saw Li Fu beckoning Hong Yanru, who had been waiting for a long time. Then he gave her a big red apple that had been prepared earlier, and gave her two more instructions.
Finally, the girl opened the car door, and stuffed the apple into the bride's hand.
When the knowledgeable old people witnessed this scene, they couldn't help but sigh and admire this link.
Even the "aunt" who rode in the same car with the bride and groom was very satisfied with the arrangement of her in-laws.
Before she could get out of the car, she whispered.
"It's really good, look at this firecracker, solemn and lively...... That's right, according to the old order, newcomers just can't get off the sedan car empty-handed. This apple is auspicious...... Hey, I knew that people were so particular, so we should have prepared a treasure bottle full of millet and brought it with us......"
This is the first time that this "wife" has praised the family.
Hong Yanwen and Xu Chongya looked at each other and smiled tacitly, although they didn't understand this. But the unhappiness that occurred when picking up relatives 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.
From the moment the bride and groom got off the bus, in the cheerful sound of many relatives and friends in the middle of the road, the confetti suddenly flew up and fell from the sky.
The groom, bride, and "aunt" who sent off each other, Hong Yanwu and Hong Yanru were all shrouded in it.
And when he walked all the way to the courtyard, even Li Fu, who was following behind, his white hair became colorful. Almost all of them have "joy" on their bodies.
Joy flows vividly in the old house of the Hong family, and joy spreads in the laughter and laughter of people.
At this time, a flock of white pigeons, raised by an unknown family, seemed to be an uninvited band, hovering playfully in the clear sky directly above the courtyard, and the sound of pigeon whistles was heard.
Crisp, loud and uplifting......
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 "wife" and the "wife". Dust off the confetti and debris on your body and take a sip of tea. You need to take a break before reshaping your makeup.
The second is that some important guests of the Hong and Xu families did not come.
The Xu family is mainly equivalent to colleagues. One is Deputy Secretary Wang of the District Party Committee who came to congratulate on behalf of the senior officials and district heads, and the other is Deputy District Mayor He who is close to Xu Bingquan. People are high-ranking officials, and they will come in their own cars, but because of their status, they will naturally arrive late.
The Hong family and others are mainly Yang Weifan, Zhou Manna, Su Xiaoming and Yu Wanyu, a famous actor of the Kunqu Opera Troupe invited by the neighbor Su Tailor.
It's not that a few of them are like leaders, but because it coincides with a festival and they all have performance tasks. People are coming, and they have to wait for the public affairs to be finished before they can rush over.
It's hard to say the specific time, anyway, you can wait, as long as the wedding ceremony is not held at noon.
It's just that I'm just waiting, and I'm waiting for something that shouldn't have happened.
For although man has gradually sat down and is still, the activity of the human heart cannot be calm.
In all fairness, the Hong family's arrangements today and today's scene are far beyond the expectations of the Xu family's relatives and friends.
Whether it was the courtyard of the house that the Hong family didn't know how deep, or the red silk full of eyes, the exquisiteness of the cups and saucers of tea sets, or the flow of people, they were secretly shocked and surprised.
Rao is among them, there are many cadres of the district government? No matter how many rice farms they have visited, they do not have this grandeur.
To say that the only comparable in the capital is the original "Capital Restaurant" and the current "Cuihua Building".
It's just that although the pattern is almost the same, the waiters of "Cuihua Building" are all perfunctory, with a slack work attitude, and the foreign guests and domestic guests are completely different, how can they compare with these young people today's attentive and thoughtful service?
So don't say that Yu Wanfen was dumbfounded, and couldn't help but blush secretly in her heart because she had said in front of Hong Yanwen that a bungalow was not as good as a building.
Even Xu Bingquan didn't expect that the courtyard that had failed miserably back then would be able to regain such brilliance after being renovated today.
It's just that the more this is the case, the more unbalanced their hearts become.
After the initial consternation, a taste comparable to old vinegar jumped into my heart as I observed more and more carefully, and made more and more discoveries.
Look at this house, look at this courtyard, look at this furnishings, look at this table......
How can they enjoy such a life? High-ranking officials and ministers don't have this kind of blessing?
No matter how you say it, a commoner can't overpower a revolutionary cadre, right? Compared with the current situation, the treatment of a department or bureau level has become a joke.
Is it really a matter of hard work for decades and once returning to the pre-liberation period? Hmph, the evil bourgeoisie.
Jealousy arises from narrow-mindedness, as if it has gone back to more than twenty years ago. Xu Bingquan and Yu Wanfen both vaguely felt that the hatred for the wealthy and wealthy in the past had returned. They can't help but want to "fight the tiger again" to be happy.
Of course, they quickly came to their senses.
Because the reality is that the Hong family has not only become their sons and daughters by mistake. And it's not what it used to be. People's social relations should not be underestimated, and the level that can be reached is even higher than him.
No matter from that aspect, the Xu family can get a lot of light. And that's a good thing.
But somehow, the sour taste in my heart is uncontrollable.
They always feel that the benefits they can get from it are still not enough to make up for the lack of their hearts, which is so uncomfortable and painful.
In this way, since they have a pimple in their hearts, they will naturally instinctively think about how to find a little more self-esteem from the Hong family and a little more benefit.
As the saying goes, it's not difficult at this time, but when is it difficult? So they also have opinions on the seating arrangement.
The second group has been opened, group number: 608640021
