Summer is like a fire.

"Lianlian, open the window a little more to let the air circulate, it's too hot."

In the midst of the busy girls in the room, a girl with sweat on her forehead turned her head to call out to her female companion near the window.

"This is a alpine mountain, it's only thirty-one years, I don't feel hot? Besides, the fan is on, too. Said the female companion who was packing up the bouquet on the side. There was a little sweat on the wings of her nose, but she was not as hot and sweaty as her companions, and she couldn't stand it.

The fan on the wall was whirring, and the wind blew on the body, although there was still a trace of heat, but it took away the heat from the body, making people feel very comfortable.

Since the beginning of the summer, the military sub-district has purchased several hundred wall-mounted fans from China and distributed them to the troops and schools, so that electric fans can be used in every dormitory.

"Liu Ji is from the north, and she can't get used to the hot and humid weather in the south." Xue Zhen asked someone to help her comb her long hair and said quietly.

"Yes, it's hot in the summer, and the temperature sometimes reaches 378 degrees, which is much higher than here. But the heat on our side is dry heat, there is no moisture in the air, as long as you don't stand under the sun, the wind will blow cool. It didn't look that hot, but the air was humid and I felt like every pore was soaked in water, which was very uncomfortable. Liu Ji made the bouquet and carefully placed it on the wooden board that served as a dresser.

These bouquets were found with great difficulty by the military division, and there were not many of them, and they were just taken out of the vase that they had been raised. In order to prevent the flowers from falling off quickly, some water was sprinkled on them, which looked very delicate.

Xue Zhen is not the only bride in this bedroom, her roommate Zhao Xue is also making nervous preparations before the wedding with the help of her friends.

That's right, today, it is the day of the mass wedding of the military division!

At the end of last month, the news that Kong Lingchen got was officially announced to the public, and for the dual workers whose husbands and wives are both in the military sub-district, an additional five yuan will be added every year in the future. Families with children can also get an additional three yuan of childcare subsidies.

Everyone is not stupid, and they know that this is another policy that the military sub-district has come up with in order to retain people.

Chinese attach the most importance to family, where the home is, where the heart is. Once the two parties get married, basically speaking, it is equivalent to staying in the military sub-district and no longer planning to return to the city. Especially for children, husband and wife are flying separately with forest birds and catastrophes, but children are different, he has the blood of his father and mother flowing at the same time, which is a natural bond that connects the feelings of both parties.

In the past, there were also educated youths who couldn't survive on domestic farms, married locals, and even gave birth to children, which is equivalent to basically cutting off the idea of going home.

The military sub-district gives extra care to married families and families with children, which is to induce everyone to stay here in a down-to-earth manner and live and work with peace of mind after completing their studies.

Everyone sees it clearly, but they are not disgusted.

Life here, compared to the farm, is one heaven and one underground. Even compared with domestic cities, although there are still many deficiencies, the basic living conditions are already good, and there is no worry about food and clothing. Except for the cultural life, which is a little boring, there are not many entertainment facilities, and it is not much different from the life in the city before.

What's more, the construction of the new city is very fast.

They only organized a day of voluntary labor last month. In fact, it is to let them feel the speed of the construction of the new city, and let them have more confidence in the future of the military sub-district by setting up future urban planning maps and real-life billboards on the construction site.

The foundation of the new city was completed at the end of May.

As soon as the drawings were revised with the help of the design institute, 2,000 engineers and 20,000 selected masses formed more than 100 joint engineering teams, and under the guidance of the four engineering brigades from China, they launched a vigorous construction campaign.

The 22,000 construction workers were divided into three shifts, working in 24-hour shifts and fighting at night. Light bulbs are installed on all the construction sites, and the construction sites at night are illuminated as if they were daylight. In order to reduce everyone's labor intensity and speed up the construction progress, the military sub-district urgently purchased dozens of mixers, more than a dozen cranes, more than 50 liberation trucks, and 10 sets of cement pouring equipment from China.

At the same time, for construction workers who participated in the labor, an overtime allowance of five cents per day was promised.

It took only about 20 days for the foundation to be poured, and then it grew rapidly at the rate of one floor a week.

Fast speed doesn't mean bad quality.

Their voluntary labor that day, or field trip, gave them the feeling of excitement. On the construction site of two or three square kilometers, there are cars and people everywhere, red flags are displayed, the atmosphere is warm, and there are loudspeakers playing majestic songs outside the venue, so that the whole construction site is shrouded in a strong passionate atmosphere.

There are experienced personnel command, although the scene is crowded, but busy but not chaotic, hundreds of small flags, whistles in the mouth of the project commanders, so that the construction project in an orderly manner.

This kind of scene is completely a copy of the domestic general battle, but the scheduling is more scientific, the planning is more thorough, the implementation is more meticulous, and the modern equipment used is also more.

In a residential building under intense construction, they saw with their own eyes that before pouring cement, the dense turn-like steel support bars, each with the thickness of a little finger. According to the engineering personnel who led the team, this was the instruction of Commander Guan, and the construction was carried out in accordance with the seventh-level earthquake-proof standard. In addition, in order to improve the strength of the building, not only the foundation, pillars, and floors, but also the exterior walls are reinforced with steel bars.

Judging from the on-site display board, each residential building is a small high-rise elevator with 12 floors!

Such an elevator apartment, even in the country, there is no one! Every student who sees the real-life picture kanban can't wait to have such an enviable residence right away.

On the construction site of the Polytechnic University, they saw the real pictures of the teaching buildings, libraries, student dormitories and other buildings that surprised them with their beautiful appearance.

The various measures taken by the military sub-districts and the various actual and visible progress are all indicating that the military sub-regions will have a bright and brilliant tomorrow.

Under such a promotion, no one felt that there was any malice in the military division to lure everyone to settle down here, but they were just happy that they had caught up with the good times.

Not to mention those who already have children and are talking about friends, even those who were still persisting on the farm and wanted to find a partner after returning to the city, they all dispelled their initial thoughts and actively began to look for a suitable partner.

The military sub-district is even more enthusiastic about organizing a blind date once a week to help the trainees find their favorite other half by picnics, working in pairs on their own, and learning to help each other pair up.

It is not only the educated youth trainees, but also the soldiers of the army.

The new policy announced that as long as the educated youth students who have a family with the soldiers of the army will enjoy employment treatment in advance from the day they receive the marriage certificate!

After such a series of measures, couples in love can be seen at all times in the entire military sub-district. What's even funnier is that when the news reached China, it actually attracted more than 2,000 educated youth, and there were more girls than boys!

Not only educated youth, such intensive and tempting decisions have made many local ordinary people in China covetous.

Xue Zhen and Kong Lingchen completed the marriage registration procedures early, and the number of couples who registered their marriage like them reached 382 couples!

Naturally, the military sub-district was extremely supportive of such a good deed, saying that it would never wronged everyone, and would hold a grand group wedding for all couples who had registered for marriage, including those who had been married before.

To this end, the military sub-district spent more than 200,000 yuan to purchase a large number of silk scarves, scarves, and fabrics from China and Hong Kong, and invited famous domestic tailors to tailor clothes for each person participating in the group wedding, and made bridal dresses and groom dresses according to the patterns given by Guan Fei. The military division also promised that after the wedding ceremony, the wedding dress would be given to the couple for free as a lifetime memento!

In order to rush to make this batch of wedding dresses, the wedding was postponed for a month, and it was not distributed until yesterday evening that every couple was organized to try them on.

When Xue Zhen saw the wedding dress she was about to put on for the first time, her eyes lit up, and she was so excited that she almost fainted.

It's so beautiful!

It's so beautiful that she wants to suffocate!

Accustomed to seeing all kinds of dull and serious tunics and cadre uniforms in China, all the dark colors such as dark blue, gray, and black are all at first glance, and when she saw the white wedding dress and the elegant appearance, she couldn't control her emotions and cried excitedly.

And when Kong Lingchen changed into that white suit, making his sturdy and tall figure look more upright, coupled with his usual bookish atmosphere, Xue Zhen felt as if she saw the prince charming in the painting standing in front of her.

To have such a romantic and meaningful wedding in her life, she is willing to die immediately!

Only Kong Lingchen, who didn't understand the mood, muttered, as if to say that such clothes can't be worn at all, and they can wear them for a day when they get married. Instead of giving such a flashy wedding dress to the newlyweds, it is better to send money to everyone more affordable.

She couldn't hear such disappointing words, and if she heard them, she shouldn't have heard them, and her heart was completely surrounded by excitement, and she couldn't enter into other emotions.

After an unprecedentedly long night, she finally sat down in front of the mirror and began to dress up for the wedding.

Behind her, Liu Ji carefully helped her arrange the wedding dress, making it look more stretched, and her eyes were full of envy: "Zhenzhen, I'm really jealous, I didn't expect such a beautiful wedding dress, I knew that the old lady was also in the first batch to get married!" ”

"Aren't you already registered with Shui Hongbo? As early as when we were on the farm, we said that the two of you were a good match, but you insisted that it didn't matter, if it wasn't for the help of the military division this time, I don't know how long you would have to delay! "Xiaolian from the same farm fell into the road.

"Hmph, it's not Hongbo's dead wood, I haven't understood people's hearts all the time, and I'm afraid of being rejected by me. I've given him a lot of opportunities, but he's still too stupid to confess. I knew that the first group wedding was so grand, I just pulled, and I also pulled him to register the first batch! Liu Ji kicked her feet and lost her temper.

"You are dying to save face and suffer sin!"

Xiaolian opened the makeup box, used chalk to help Xue Zhen put on makeup, first lightly put a layer of foundation on her face, and then lightly wiped a little blush. Then use lipstick to draw the lip line, and charcoal to help her trace her curved eyebrows.

I heard that this kind of makeup method was also said casually by Commander Guan, which is completely different from the big red makeup like the domestic monkey butt, which looks much more natural, and has a sense of classical beauty.

However, it seems that Commander Guan also knows a little about women's makeup, and he doesn't know anything about how to make men. Therefore, the grooms also put on a layer of powder and a slight layer of blush, except for the lipstick and eyebrows, which are basically compared to the bridal makeup.

"Wow! Zhenzhen, so beautiful! It looks like a fairy in a painting! After helping Xue Zhen make up her makeup, Xiaolian took half a step back, looked at it seriously, and was amazed.

She's not exaggerating.

Xue Zhenren still looks okay, but he usually dresses very plainly, combs a braid, and looks no different from others, and he stands out from everyone. But today, after putting on a white wedding dress, putting on some makeup, and drawing out the lip line and eyebrows, people suddenly look extraordinarily beautiful.

"Really, I've never found out that Zhenzhen is so beautiful!"

"Look good, the real person in front of me, I feel more beautiful than the ancient ladies in the painting!"

A group of sisters who helped in the dormitory were amazed and praised, and even the bride next to her, who was also going to a group wedding, showed a look of jealousy. In fact, she is not bad, after all, youth is the greatest beauty, but her face is a little round, and her makeup is not as good-looking as Xue Zhen.

"Why! I think it's very ordinary! ”

Xue Zhen was happy in her heart, looking left and right in the mirror, extremely satisfied, and also felt that she was more beautiful today than ever, but she said modestly.

While the women were playing, the music of the wedding march sounded on the loudspeakers outside.

"It's almost begins!"

Everyone was in a hurry, one of the bridesmaids held the bride's hand, and the other helped to hold the back of the wedding dress and hurried to the wedding scene.

The bridegrooms have been waiting for a long time.

Men, there isn't much to be busy with, just put on a white suit. Under the guidance of the logistics ** who temporarily acted as the wedding master of ceremonies, they stood in their positions one by one. Hundreds of people stood in a long line, from the master of ceremonies to hundreds of meters away.

The news of the collective wedding has already spread out, and the people who have no jobs for the time being in the townships have come to see the excitement, and tens of thousands of curious young students surrounded the wedding scene, even if it was the big sun on their heads, it did not discourage everyone's enthusiasm.

Xue Zhen was led to where she was standing in order, a meter away, next to Kong Lingchen, who seemed to be a little uncomfortable with the suit, and kept pulling and pulling. However, Xue Zhen, who had been familiar with him for a long time, knew that he was actually embarrassed when he looked at his bloodshot ears.

The wedding march stopped, and the heads of the military divisions all got on the ceremonial stand with smiles on their faces, and everyone was humble, and Guan Fei walked to the microphone.

"Today is a festive day, and those of us who have been wandering outside for many years will have company from today onwards!"

His loud voice came through the horn and reached everyone's ears.

Xue Zhen felt as if a fragile string had been plucked in her heart, and she looked at Kong Lingchen beside her stupidly, and couldn't help but have a mixture of joy and sorrow in her heart.

“…… From today onwards, you are no longer alone, there will be another person in your life, your most beloved person, who will join hands with you to bear the hardships of life, share the joy of success together, and face the challenges of the future together. ……”

There was a little blur in front of him, as if he was covered with a veil, and tears welled up in the corners of Xue Zhen's eyes.

Hold the hand of the son, grow old with the son!

From today on, that person will become the other half of his life, and both sides will live and die together, and grow old together! The poems I once read in the book are about to become reality now!

Her fingers clutched the bouquet tightly, her eyes clouding with tears.

Dad and Mom, have you seen it, your little daughter, who loves and cares for her with all her heart, has finally grown up today and is married!

That handsome young man standing there is your son-in-law, my husband!

It would be great if you could come today......
