Chapter 243: Remarriage
On October 1, the wedding banquet of Niu Tiangou and Dr. Xue Lian was held as scheduled in the restaurant on the second floor of the Royal Hotel.
Coincidentally, Jin Feifei and Bai Lisa also held their wedding on the same day.
A week ago, Jin Feifei sent an invitation to Niu Tiangou, seeing the invitation, Niu Tiangou was happy for her in his heart, and then sent her a gift money, and wrote a blessing in the postscript column of the remittance form, explaining that he was on a business trip on October 1 and could not come to the wedding, of course he didn't dare to say that he was going to hold a wedding, so Jin Feifei didn't hate him to death?
Bai Lisha's marriage was told to him by Li Xiaohong later, and I heard that she found an individual boss who was in the building materials business and had a solid family background.
They had finally found their home, and Niu Tiangou breathed a sigh of relief.
Now he is a little worried about Liu Sisi and Huang Chunying, I don't know what they will think when they know about their marriage.
Of course, Niu Tiangou couldn't tell Dr. Xue Lian about these things.
He knows that since both parties have had a failed marriage, the exclusivity of love is still very strong in remarriage, and neither party can tolerate the other's half-heartedness, especially women, sometimes even more sensitive, and he must end the past and face a new life.
Although Dr. Xue Lian is virtuous and intellectual, tolerant and caring for him in every way, once he knows that he is still thinking about other women in his heart, no matter how virtuous and generous he is, he will inevitably have doubts and cast a shadow on the newly formed family.
Forgetting the past, falling in love with the old love, breaking the thread, and looking forward to everything is responsible for Dr. Xue Lian, responsible for herself, and it is also the principle that every remarried couple must adhere to.
At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Niu Tiangou and Dr. Xue Lian came to the door of the restaurant on the second floor at 4 o'clock to greet the guests, and there was a large wooden sign with red paper on both sides of the door, the left piece reads "Celebrate Mr. Niu Tiangou and Miss Xue Lian's marriage", and the right piece reads "Mr. Niu Tiangou and Miss Xue Lian's wedding celebration".
Niu Tiangou is wearing a crisp black suit purchased for him by Dr. Xue Lian today, a snow-white shirt, a red tie, a red corsage, shiny leather shoes, oily hair, delicate and handsome facial features, and a round face with freshness and sunshine, full of tranquility and handsomeness.
Dr. Xue Lian was wearing a white wedding dress, her hair was coiled high, her face was covered with light makeup, her eyebrows were picturesque, her eyes were shining, her eyes were full of happiness and sweetness, and she smiled slightly, like a pear blossom blooming, and a begonia was shy, like a fairy.
Originally, the two had already discussed how to hold the wedding in a low-key manner, and they were going to invite Professor Weng Lao, a few doctors and nurses, and Wu Sangui and a few of them, just eat and drink around the table, there was no need to be too public.
Niu Tiangou felt that it was appropriate to invite his relatives and a few good friends to do things, and he had always been disgusted with the kind of extensive invitations and indiscriminate notices, making the scope too large and too indiscriminate, and it was like driving sheep in the mountains.
For the sake of his own trouble, he forcibly summoned some colleagues who are not relatives, not good friends, but ordinary colleagues, classmates and even some colleagues who have only met a few times, and asked so many people to abandon the things at hand for themselves and give up their rest time to cheer up, what is the picture? What else can there be but the momentary hilarious vanity of the picture?
People saw your notice and received your invitation, and they didn't come, and they didn't come, didn't they make others embarrassed?
Besides, this favor gift is sent back and forth, and the banquet is eaten and drunk, in addition to wasting everyone's time, wasting everyone's money, and increasing everyone's material and spiritual burden, is there any use? For the sake of face? How many times will you lose your time and energy in the future for the sake of saving face this time? For the sake of feelings? Is such a flood and pale of affection reliable?
Besides, he and Dr. Xue Lian are remarried after all, so there is no need to compete with the girls and boys who are newly married.
He is not afraid that people will say that he is "petty and childish", and he does not believe that those who do not have their own thinking and opinions, follow the worldly atmosphere, and get involved in the whirlpool of human feelings like drunk.
But Xue Yunfei disagreed, he said: "The wedding procedure can be subtracted, but the wedding banquet must be done decently, after all, it is a great event." The wedding banquet is just a platform for colleagues and friends to get together and get together, chat and drink, and enhance the friendship and harmonious interpersonal relationship between colleagues and friends.
"Nowadays, people do big things to save face, and the more people who participate, the more lively and joyful they become. Besides, if you don't invite people, will you not be able to go when they invite you? Besides, I only have such a sister, and I do it too casually, too columbiously, too coldly, and my face as an elder brother is dull. ”
Xue Yunfei's words, Niu Tiangou could only obey unconditionally, he had to make this "big brother" feel that his face was bright.
Seeing that Niu Tiangou did not insist any longer, Xue Yunfei then arranged for Dr. Xue Lian and Niu Tiangou to send invitations and notices, and then went to the hotel catering department to discuss the wedding banquet.
Since knowing the relationship between his sister and Niu Tiangou, Xue Yunfei regretted taking Niu Tiangou to the bathing center last time, so that he now seems to feel embarrassed in front of his "brother-in-law", and he has no "brother-in-law" at all, and the whole image is obscene.
Now he has changed his past image in front of Niu Tiangou, he is much more serious, and he is no longer as unrestrained as before, he says all kinds of nonsense, and makes all kinds of vulgar jokes, of course, he doesn't dare to invite Niu Tiangou to find any more young lady.
Niu Tiangou knew that Xue Yunfei used to treat him as a buddy, intimate, saying all obscene things, and not shying away from any obscene things, but now Dr. Xue Lian suddenly intervened, which added some embarrassment to their relationship and made them more restrained and polite.
But Niu Tiangou still respects him very much, because the previous thing was before, and he is now an "uncle" after all, of course he can't help but listen to his suggestions, and of course he can't help but give face.
So, under Xue Yunfei's enthusiastic encouragement and insistence, as soon as Niu Tiangou and Dr. Xue Lian's phone calls and invitations went out, people put down what they were doing and gave up their rest time to rush one after another.
Boss Wang and the main leaders of the Yindu Bathing Center in Xianhai came, the leaders of Binhai Hospital and the doctors and nurses who were good with Dr. Xue Lian came, Liu Xinhua, the director of Xinhua Electric Appliance Factory, and all the leaders of the Royal Hotel, all the personnel of the security department, and many young ladies who were hindered by Xue Yunfei's face and knew Niu Tiangou all sent congratulatory gifts or gift money, making Wu Sangui and Zhang Dalong, who were specially responsible for receiving congratulatory gifts and gift money, in a hurry.
Alas, human relations have become the norm, flooded with disasters, everywhere is the same, he Niu Tiangou alone wants to block the rolling torrent of history, it is as ridiculous as a mantis arm as a car!
Huang Chunying and Liu Sisi didn't come, and said that they went to attend their classmates' weddings, and only asked someone to bring gift money. Niu Tiangou knew that this was an excuse, and it was estimated that the two of them were hating it now, and they didn't know how many times they had scolded Niu Tiangou, a white-eyed wolf, in their hearts.
There were more and more guests, and in a short time the hall was filled, and a full 28 tables were prepared for the wedding banquet.
Xue Yunfei saw that the hall was crowded with people, lively and festive, and his face felt more face-saving.
Seeing such a grand scene, Niu Tiangou couldn't help but remember that when he married Teresa Teng, there were only 4 tables in the banquet, compared with it, it did seem a little shabby at that time, no wonder people like to do a big job, but he also knew that for the excitement and "prosperity" of these short two or three hours, he would have to spend a lot of time and energy in the future to return the gifts for these guests one by one.
He didn't know if it was worth it.
At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the wedding banquet officially began, and the bustling and noisy hall finally began to quiet.
Since the wedding procedure is subtracted, there is no master of ceremonies and officiants, no witnesses, no bridesmaids and groomsmen, and no speeches from the parents of both parties.
There is no priest leading the bride and groom to take an oath before the Lord, as is the case with foreign Christians:
"Mr. Niu Tiangou, are you willing to marry Miss Xue Lian as your wife, no matter in good times or bad, whether rich or poor, whether healthy or sick, happy or sad, are you willing to love, respect her, take care of her, protect her, and never abandon her?"
"I do!"
"Miss Xue Lian, are you willing to marry Mr. Niu Tiangou as your wife, no matter in good times or bad, rich or poor, healthy or sick, happy or sad, are you willing to be his faithful companion and accompany him for life?"
"I do!"
There is also no red tape like the ancient Chinese "one worship heaven and earth, two worship the high hall, husband and wife worship each other, and send them to the cave room".
After the waiter brought the first course, everyone stopped chattering, and their mouths began to get busy, and the sounds of eating, chewing, drinking, and drinking began to sound again......
After a while, Niu Tiangou and Dr. Xue Lian went to each table to toast.
There is also an order for toasting, Xue Yunfei reminded that it is generally the elder table of both sides first, and then the important guest table, such as the main leaders of the unit, the officiant, and the witness, and then the relatives of both parties, these tables should be toasted one by one, and the cup should be lower than the cup of these elders when clinking glasses, in order to show respect, each table starts with the oldest or most respected one, and salutes the next one clockwise.
Finally, there is a table for colleagues, friends, etc., which is generally one table and one salute to save time.
Just say something thankful or hard work during the toast.
Since the elders of both sides did not come, there were no witnesses to the marriage, and there were no relatives, only the leaders and colleagues of the two units, they would first respect the leader's table, and then the colleagues' table.
"Respect the leader of your unit first, or the leader of my unit first?" Niu Tiangou asked quietly.
"It's better for you to be the master." Doctor Xue Lian whispered back.
