Chapter 108: Preparation
After receiving the certificate, it is time to prepare for the marriage.
It doesn't matter if you don't catch up on May Day, Sunday, May 22, the tenth day of the fourth month of the lunar calendar, it is a good day in pairs.
The days look a little tight, but everything is needed for marriage, which is not difficult for Hong Yanwu, who is rich and has a wide range of contacts, to do it in time.
It's just that things in the world never go particularly well.
Although Hong Yanwu has no financial burden, he can't stop his own people from making trouble.
To be honest, the biggest difference with him is actually Shui Qing.
She is different from most girls, neither worldly nor vain, does not like extravagance and waste, and does not want to be ostentatious.
Naturally, he advocates frugality and simplicity, and hopes that all aspects of marriage will be as simple as possible.
Otherwise, she will feel uneasy, and it is precisely because of this that she will make those prenuptial agreements with Hong Yanwu about material restrictions.
But this is not only completely contrary to the opinions of her parents who insist on doing a lot of things and want to be in the limelight.
It also conflicts with the Hong family's decency, 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.
And he has to meet the objective reality, do things well, and let relatives and friends look at it like that, which has become a thing that makes Hong Yanwu rack his brains.
Let's start with the house.
Hong Yanwu gave the unit to someone else, but the Song family's unit was all in his hands.
At the beginning, he first picked the commercial bureau with the best orientation and floor, and took Shui Qing to see the room.
As a result, Shui Qing finished reading it, and felt that it was good for the third year, but he really said that he was going to move over, but he was a little unhappy.
Dare to love her if she is considering bringing Xiaoying to live here, so she can't stay with her grandma and grandpa every day.
The neighbors here are also very angry, and when they go home and close the door, they won't come out, and the children will definitely be lonely.
And if they live in a building and let their parents live in a bungalow, it will be awkward.
Hong Yanwu thought about it and thought that this would be easy to do.
said that there were still two sets of three-bedroom apartments in the compound of the Food Bureau, so they could simply move there with their water family.
But Shui Qing blushed again, thinking that he would be sorry for Hong Yanwu's relatives, and he was even more upset.
In the end, Hong Yanwu pondered, and there was only one way.
When he went back, he hurriedly discussed with Chen Liquan, saying that he planned not to move and wanted to use the Chen family's house to get married.
The three rooms of the Chen family are connected, one entrance hall and two single rooms.
The two of them now live together in Chen Liquan's own room, north of the river.
What Hong Yanwu meant was that he only needed Chen Liquan to move to his parents' room, and then clean up the vacated small room.
The foyer will henceforth be a public activity area for washing, eating, and watching TV.
As soon as he heard this idea, Chen Liquan was not only troublesome, but also very happy, because the two brothers didn't have to be separated now.
So when he turned his head, Chen Liquan was more active than Hong Yanwu and Zhang Luode.
A vigorous flush called "sister-in-law", patted her chest to clean up the house, and tried to persuade her to agree to this idea.
Seeing that Chen Liquan was sincere, he felt that it was very convenient, and he could take care of his parents on both sides at the same time.
Shui Qing also thanked him, embarrassed to accept it.
With a house, it's the turn of furniture and appliances.
Hong Yanwu took Shui Qing to the best furniture stores in the capital, and he saw Czech furniture and Bulgarian furniture, but it was not suitable.
Because in addition to Shui Qing being scared by the price, that is, the room is small and the furniture is big.
Not to mention anything else, an imported large bed is about three meters long, which can occupy half a room.
The key is also with shelves, and after installation, it is three meters high, and it is over the roof.
Whoever wants to get such a thing into the house probably has to tear down the wall.
It can be seen from this that what kind of horse can be matched with what kind of saddle, and it makes no sense to blindly pursue grade.
So Hong Yanwu came up with an idea again, saying that we should simply let the eldest brother help with a few pieces.
The boss's skills are still passable, the key is that I wish I had begged him one day.
I'm going to speak, and my eldest brother will be happy.
Sure enough, when Hong Yanwu mentioned this, he patted his ass, and Hong Yanzheng was simply happy.
Although it is inevitable to put up a shelf and take a candy, but then I really try my best to produce drawings and materials.
Soon in the alley, he talked about his arms, pulled a big saw, and pushed the planer.
This incident just made up for the quarrel between the brothers because of their marriage for a while.
And that's not all.
In addition to these furniture, Hong Yanwu ignored Shui Qing's objections, and insisted on spending more than 400 foreign exchange coupons to buy an imported dresser with a soft seat at the Friendship Store.
Not for anything else, because Shui Qing thinks it is expensive and reluctant.
But when she saw this piece of furniture, she couldn't suppress the love from the bottom of her heart.
Good girls are like this, they always wronged themselves.
But he can't treat his daughter-in-law badly.
Compared with furniture, household appliances are actually better solved.
Hong Yanwu didn't grieve his hobbies, such as refrigerators, washing machines, electric fans, and other things that can actually improve the quality of life, he bought them early.
In addition, since the Hong family held a happy event for Hong Yanwen and showed his economic strength to the outside world, he also replaced the gradually black-and-white TV with a color TV, and bought a tape recorder and video recorder.
So practically everything is ready, no need to buy it again.
However, considering the situation of the Shui family, he still bought a new color TV and sent it to the Shui family.
And on this blatant matter of slapping the sycophants of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Shui Qing's opposition is still invalid.
Because not to mention that the Shui family unanimously disagrees with her, Hong Yanwu is also good at making excuses.
He didn't say that the electrical appliances were all old, so he wronged her, he couldn't help but be embarrassed, not to mention that honoring his parents should be.
This is far-fetched to fool the past.
Of course, although Shui Qing was annoyed, it was also annoyed with a sweet taste, who let Hong Yanwu be so good at it?
Even if it's a deliberate mistake, it's moving.
As for the wedding banquet with the most differences, Hong Yanwu did follow Shui Qing's advice meticulously in the end and minimized the cost.
He neither held a banquet in the old mansion like he did for his second brother, nor did he go to the big restaurant to feast guests.
Even the standards of tobacco and alcohol have been lowered on their own initiative, and "Tongzhou Laojiao" and "Double Happiness" cigarettes have been used instead.
However, he has many friends and a wide range of contacts, and although he has tried his best to reduce the pomp, the size of dozens of tables still has to be maintained.
In the end, the solution I figured out was to ask the head of the administrative section chief, and I wanted to go through the back door and borrow the big canteen in the factory to do things.
In terms of his popularity with Shui Qing in the factory, no one must be deliberately embarrassed.
Especially the big canteen, from top to bottom, he has earned extra money, and he has benefited a lot.
Not only did no one oppose it at all, but they unanimously applauded.
Even Master Pang and Master Gou are holding back their strength to show their hands, planning to take the opportunity to repay their feelings.
So the matter went through a formality, and after asking for instructions, it was passed.
In the end, the boss not only did things for them, but also agreed to get all the overtime workers who worked that day to eat in the "halal canteen".
Moreover, except for Secretary Guo's faction, almost everyone else in the factory leadership team gave face and accepted the invitation to the wedding banquet.
also transferred two extra days off for the two of them, so that their marriage leave could rest for eight days in a row, which is definitely interesting enough.
