Chapter 815: A Special Gift (2)
The children got married on May Day, and Grandpa Gu, as the master of Yu Zhenchuan and Han Chaoyang, as well as the elders of Xu Hongliang and Zhang Beibei, was busy helping the three of them prepare, and he didn't ask about the Zhongshan Road Police District for five consecutive days. I heard that Mr. Ma took three days off and came in advance, and hurried to the hostel on a shared bicycle to discuss the marriage with Mr. Ma, Mama Huang, Dad Yu, Dad Xu, Dad Zhang and other parents of the man and the woman!
"Sheriff Gu, our family hasn't done anything big for so many years, and it is estimated that it will be the same in the future, at least in our hands. In addition, the countryside is not as good as the city, there are more relatives and friends, and they usually move around, and they all have personal contacts, please don't invite you, please don't invite this family is not good, my old Han is a face-saving person, the result is ...... As a result...... "The plan is not as good as the change, and Mr. Ma looked back at his mother with an embarrassed face.
Grandpa Gu knew why she was a little embarrassed, because Huang's father and Huang's mother considered that the house was bought by the Han family, so they strongly demanded that the money for the marriage be paid by the woman.
In fact, it doesn't cost much to put the wine, after all, it is only 800 yuan per table, and it doesn't cost much if you count tobacco, alcohol and candy. But there are many relatives and friends on the old Han family's side, so it is difficult to come to Yanyang so far away, it is impossible for people to take a car before dawn and take the car back after lunch, which means that accommodation must be arranged, and it may take two or even three days.
Booking a room in the Scholar Garden is a negotiated price, including 180 yuan a room is not expensive, but relatives and friends come to book more rooms, two or three days to get it is estimated to cost 40,000 or 50,000.
When it comes to the sensitive issue of spending money, Grandpa Gu really doesn't know how to express his position, and subconsciously looks at Huang's mother.
Huang Ma was already mentally prepared for this, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Teacher Ma, everything that should be invited must be invited, and it will be lively when there are many people! You haven't done anything decently for so many years, and we are not the same." I'm not afraid of big jokes when I say it, Yingying was admitted to college, and we didn't have a treat. ”
"But then the cost of accommodation will be huge! When you set off in the morning, you went to the bank and withdrew 30,000 yuan, and you took it first. As he spoke, Mr. Ma took out a bulging envelope from his bag and forced it into Huang's mother's hand.
Huang's mother was very clear about the economic situation of her in-laws, and secretly thought that in order to buy a house, you would owe a lot of foreign debts, and it was almost certain that the 30,000 yuan was borrowed again, so she pretended to be angry and said: "Teacher Ma, what are you doing here? The marriage is handled by me and Lao Huang, which was agreed before! Besides, we are now a family, why should the family say two words!"
Compared with the Han family, the Huang family's "cash flow" is indeed more abundant.
Grandpa Gu weighed it and simply said, "Teacher Ma, listen to your in-laws, you can keep the 30,000 yuan first." Your Chaoyang is an only child, Yingying is an only child, you are two families and one family, you are doing your own family's business, and whoever spends the money is the same. ”
Dad Xu couldn't help but smile and said: "Yes, Mr. Ma, listen to Accountant Gao, Accountant Gao and Section Chief Huang have money, don't be polite to them!"
"In-laws, put the money away, and then make people laugh like this. Huang's mother said and stuffed the money into Mr. Ma's bag, for fear that she would take it out again, and helped to close the zipper very intimately.
The man and the woman have a good relationship, and they don't care about spending money, Grandpa Gu is very pleased, and simply gets down to business: "Teacher Ma, Accountant Gao, since the number of people has changed, then we will go to the Scholar Garden to talk to others later." Lingling's hometown is also coming, Beibei's hometown is also coming to a few elders, there are so many rooms in the Scholar Garden, you must tell people to keep a few rooms, and it is best not to accept reservations for those days on May Day. ”
"This is a big deal, let's count the number of people and go to the Scholar Garden," Huang Ma thought about it and added: "We have to stay in a few standard rooms here, and the guests will be arranged in the Scholar Garden first, and the Scholar Garden will be arranged here if they can't be arranged." ”
"It's for the best. ”
As soon as Grandpa Gu's voice fell, Dad Xu suddenly smiled and said: "Sheriff Gu, Accountant Gao, I have thought about it these days, the children's marriage is to respond to the call and not be extravagant and wasteful, but some procedures should be taken or gone, after all, marriage is such a big event once in a lifetime." ”
"Lao Xu, what procedure are you going to take?"
"Marriage is for the woman is the marriage of the child, and the man has to go to the woman's house to pick up the relatives, and if he doesn't pick up, he will just put a drink in the restaurant to look too much. I discussed it with my in-laws, and I planned to take it briefly. ”
"Where are you going to pick it up?" asked Grandpa Gu.
"We definitely can't go to my hometown, it's too far, we plan to let Lingling dress up in the PolyU dormitory, and let Hongliang call a few friends to pick up at PolyU, first to the Dongming community, and then back to PolyU, and then to the Scholar Garden. ”
"I think it's very good, it's not like getting married if you don't pick it up!" Huang's mother's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but turn around and smile: "Teacher Ma, why don't you let Yingying go home first, let Chaoyang pick it up too, take it to the PolyU dormitory first, and then go to the Scholar Garden?"
If people want to marry their daughters, this "marriage" must be reflected!
Teacher Ma could understand Huang's mother's mood, and said with a smile: "Now people pay attention to the sense of ceremony, and if you don't pick it up, there is no sense of ceremony, I feel very good, and it is not far away, and it doesn't cost much to rent a few wedding cars." ”
"Since you're all taking it, we'll take it too. Yu's father thought that his son Yu Zhenchuan was not so much marrying a daughter-in-law as a wealthy man, he had no house in Yanyang, and after getting married, he wanted to live together in the house that Zhang Beibei bought in Factory 527, and he thought about it and said with an embarrassed face: "Now that the young people in our hometown are getting married, it is fashionable to take the bride to the hotel." In order to do wedding business, those hotels will give away a one-night room as long as they book a table there, and we can book a room by ourselves if Shuxiangyuan does not give it away, and it won't cost a few dollars, so Zhenchuan can go to the 527 factory to pick up Beibei, and take Beibei to the upstairs guest room in Shuxiangyuan. ”
"It's best to do that, take it all, but tell the kids about it. ”
"Hongliang and Lingling must have no problem over there, I can still help them do this!"
"Zhenchuan and Bei Bei will not object, we are thinking about them!"
……
Plans are always better than changes, and there is a reason why Grandpa Gu hurried over.
Looking at their elated appearance, I couldn't help but smile: "Kissing is both a ritual and a tradition, I don't think the children will have an opinion, but then the children will be very tired, and it is estimated that they will not be able to sleep well in the 30th night." ”
Dad Xu wanted to make the wedding beautiful, and said with a hearty smile: "Marriage is tired, don't talk about them, although our conditions are not as good as now, we are just as tired." ”
Teacher Ma asked curiously, "Sergeant Gu, why do you say that?"
"Here's the thing, Chaoyang is a distinguished lecturer at the School of Fine Arts of PolyU, Lingling was originally a teacher at PolyU, one of them can be specially hired and the other can be a teacher, mainly because the school leaders want to cultivate an orchestra, and they have not disappointed the school leaders, although it has not been for a long time, the band brought out is also presentable, and the children in the band also like and respect them, knowing that they are going to get married on May Day, and want to surprise them and give them a special gift......
Grandpa Gu briefly said that Zheng Yutong, Nie Xuan and other band members were going to hold a solo concert, and then took out a stack of beautifully printed tickets and program lists from his bag: "Look at it, the tickets and program lists are printed. Held at the Yanyang Grand Theater, it can be said that it is the highest art palace in the city and even the province, and it is not something that anyone can hold if they want to. Tickets for those performances are very expensive, and the cheapest ones are in the hundreds!"
"Oops, what a bother for those children!" Teacher Ma knew very well how difficult this was, and he was embarrassed to look at the program list.
This is the children's heart, and even Kang Wei is helping with this, and even invited the leaders of PolyU and the Sixth Hospital, and it is said that the leaders of the sub-bureaus, sub-districts and even districts will be invited. All in all, this activity is a sure thing to do, and it can't be retreated. Grandpa Gu pointed to a large stack of tickets and program lists in front of everyone, and then said: "Relatives and friends can arrive on the afternoon of the 30th, you ask them if they are willing to go to the concert, it is best to determine the number of people who will go to the concert before two o'clock in the afternoon of the 30th. ”
