On May 1, 1981, the twenty-seventh day of the third month of the lunar calendar, Friday, it was finally the day of the great joy of the Hong family.

At five o'clock in the morning, in the old house of the Hong family, as Hong Lucheng and Wang Yunlin finished washing, the old couple opened the door, dressed in decent new clothes, and walked into the courtyard shrouded in the faint light together. This very special day for the Hong family officially began.

In fact, strictly speaking, these days are a bit imperfect. Because this day is singular regardless of the lunar calendar or the solar calendar, which is a bit inconsistent with the ideal even-numbered days of the people in Beijing.

But it can't be helped, who makes the holidays limited this year. If it wasn't Labor Day on May 1, it would have to be Sunday, May 3, and it would all be the same.

Of course, it would be best if it came on May 2, but others did not have the seven-day wedding leave of the bride and groom. In the years of single holidays, everyone still has to go to work this Saturday, so how can they let their relatives and friends congratulate them on their happiness? So I had to settle for it.

Fortunately, the Hong family is more open-minded, and no one wants to be more serious about things that they can't grasp, and change the law to make themselves uncomfortable. Therefore, the unhappiness caused by this little superstitious psychology is still easy to be ignored by everyone.

On the other hand, with this kind of happiness, no one will be able to sleep peacefully. Therefore, except for the children, everyone in the Hong family, even Li Fu and the three "sea bumpers", got up from the bed at about five o'clock.

And whether they were yawning or in good spirits, each of them was consciously busy according to the tasks assigned yesterday.

For example, Li Fu is responsible for placing tea stoves, kettles, and water hoards. "Hai Bangzi" arranges the dishes in the kitchen.

Hong Yanzheng, Xu Manli, Hong Yanwen, and Hong Yanru put dried fruits, fresh fruits, sugar, tobacco, and tea snacks on the plate in turn.

The old couple of the Hong family also had to set up the table. Cigarettes and sugar were wrapped in red paper as a return gift to the guests.

As for Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan, they went to the "Tianxingju" in "Xianyukou" to get breakfast.

Of course, this point "Tianxingju" has not yet opened. But they are no better than others, and they have already greeted each other. Just to do things for the Hong family, Master Si worked for half an hour this morning, which is called acquaintances easy to do.

So before six o'clock, the two of them brought back two full steel pots of fried liver and twenty catties of steamed buns.

That's not much. Because it's not just the Hong family's food, the kitchen masters have to come to raise the stove at six o'clock, and those who come to help say that they will come at seven o'clock.

So early in the morning, no one had time to eat. It's not like it to let everyone work hungry, it's all reasonable.

Sure enough, the next people from the kitchen and the people who helped arrived on time. As soon as they saw a table full of fried liver buns, everyone was overjoyed, and said that the Hong family was thoughtful.

And hot things can undoubtedly arouse people's emotions, and when everyone is full of food and drink, they will be in their place. The Hong family immediately presented an atmosphere of jubilation.

Today's wedding car is theoretically all raised by Hong Yanwu.

Why is it theoretical? Because in fact he is quite worry-free. Except for a "No. 40" bus that was responsible for picking up and dropping off neighbors in Fraure, he used the excuse that he didn't work for anything, and simply apportioned them all to Yang Weifan in the form of unequal treaties.

So on this day, Yang Weifan is a veritable operator. Yang Zizhen is not a good buddy, and in addition to Yang Yaohua's own "red flag", the vehicles he got for the Hong family also included three other cars in the "Navy Compound" and a bus from the "Haiphong Song and Dance Troupe" to pick up and drop off actors.

They were all driven by military drivers, and they arrived in front of the Hong family's old house on time at eight o'clock.

As a result, the residents of the "Coal Market Street" who got up early were startled as soon as they went out today.

They had never seen so many cars on this street, and the road was almost closed.

No one knew what was going on, and they thought that a big leader had come up to inspect it. It wasn't until someone finally had sharp eyes and saw the word "Xi" in two groups of red paper straight books on both sides of the wall of the Hong family's courtyard, that they seemed to understand.

Yes, whether you want to buy breakfast or go to the toilet, you are not in a hurry, and you gather in front of the door of Hong's house to look around and discuss. There is only one theme of the content, which is to discuss who has such a big style and can mobilize so many cars.

That's how interesting things are in the world.

An old resident said that this house was the Hong family, one of the original "Eight Great Mansion Gates", and it seemed that he had heard that the street had vacated the house to them. Looking at the word "Xi", it should be their daughter-in-law. Otherwise, marrying a girl should be a single "happy".

But the real answer is that no one believes it, but there is a big market for the nonsense rumors of some young people.

Their basis is that it is so easy for the public to vacate a house for a private person, not to mention that if you have money, you can't get a car. It is unlikely that the capitalists are back.

And because in the first few days, I saw people moving tables, chairs, benches, and household utensils in and out here, and the things that came in were all "old-fashioned". They don't feel like they're living a good life. Why don't you even have a refrigerator, color TV, and ash furniture?

Well, I can't make it a big restaurant, right? In the future, it will be specially used to receive state leaders and foreign guests......

While these ordinary people were talking, another taxi drove in front of Hong's house.

Hong Yanwen, who had been waiting outside the door, saw the people who got out of the car, and the first person to blurt out "Director Chang" actually provided a "practical" basis for that speculative remark.

The earliest guests of Dare to Love were none other than Chang Xianzhang's family sent by Bian Jian's utility car.

But it must be said that those people who watched the excitement at the door completely went to Grandma's house.

This is not only because they had a misunderstanding with just one title, but also because among these five people, the most noble one today is Gu Lingye. Waiting for her is what Hong Yanwen is anxious and looking forward to.

Because according to custom, it is indispensable to have a wife in the team to pick up relatives in the capital. This role is not only valuable, but also has the meaning of asking for auspiciousness and blessings for the newlyweds, and must be a full and harmonious person with parents, spouses, and children.

So after thinking about it beforehand, the Hong family felt that only the daughter-in-law of the Chang family, the dignified and decent Gu Lingye was the most suitable.

So at the invitation of Wang Yunlin in person, in view of the close relationship between the two families, Gu Lingye could not refuse, so she had to agree, so that the time for the Chang family to cooperate with her to perform important tasks arrived early.

When the Chang family and his entourage entered the courtyard, the first thing they did was, of course, to say hello to the Hong family. The family's congratulatory gift was a self-pressurized hot water bottle and a gift of 50 yuan. This is a very heavy ceremony, revealing the irreversibility of the relationship between the two families.

Hong Lucheng and Wang Yunlin each received the gift and thanked them. They looked at the bright and stretched blue sky above their heads, looked at the red "Xi" characters that could be seen everywhere in the yard, and looked at the five members of the Chang family who couldn't stop saying auspicious words in their mouths, and they all felt a lot of emotion in their hearts.

Especially Wang Yunlin, looking at her dignified son standing on the side, suddenly her nose was sore, and tears came out.

Mrs. Chang is the person who can best understand this mood, and she also accompanied Wang Yunlin with a pair of red eyes.

She was busy persuading that when she saw her son get married, she felt that it was really not easy. But think about it again, isn't this the day I want to be a parent? Fortunately, I have only one son, and it is enough to feel sad for once. You, there's going to be one more time later.

When I said this, everyone laughed.

At the same time, the early morning sunlight also shone into the Hong family's house at this time, not only the environment was bright and warm. It seems that even the hydrangeas on both sides of the hanging flower door and the red silk under the eaves have become more gorgeous and dazzling.

The second group has been opened, group number: 608640021
