Chapter 2 Marriage
Zhao Changfeng was right, Fang Zhenhua really discussed his marriage with Fang Jiayi with his parents. According to Fang Zhenhua's meaning, after Zhao Changfeng came out of the training of the Provincial Party School, he would have to hurry up and handle the wedding. Because according to the usual practice, Zhao Changfeng will not go down immediately after coming out of the provincial party school, and he needs to hang up in the commercial hall for another two to three months before he will be arranged to the county. In the past two or three months, Zhao Changfeng will not be responsible for any too specific work in the Department of Commerce, so he just took this opportunity to handle the marriage.
Zhao's father and Zhao's mother were naturally overjoyed when they heard Fang Zhenhua's approval, and they said to Fang Zhenhua: "We are from a small place, and we don't know the engagement rules of any big place, so we prepared something for Jiayi in accordance with the engagement rules of our Shanyang area, don't be surprised by Brother Fang." ”
Fang Zhenhua said with a smile: "I'm sending the girl out, so naturally I have to follow the man's rules." As for the foreign rules that are popular among young people now, I don't understand either. Just follow your rules. ”
Zhao's father and Zhao's mother made preparations in advance, and when they saw Fang Zhenhua's approval, Zhao's father immediately took out a red envelope with 10,000 yuan in it, which meant that Fang Jiayi was one in a million and stuffed it into Fang Jiayi's hand. Fang Jiayi wanted to excuse herself, but Zhao Changfeng gave her a look, and Fang Jiayi accepted it.
Mother Zhao took out a pair of gold bracelets, a pair of gold earrings, and a gold necklace, put them on Fang Jiayi in person, and said in her mouth: "Jiayi, this is a little bit of Auntie's heart, you can be wronged for the time being, accept it." Go back and follow the rules of your young people, hold a formal engagement ceremony, let Zhao Changfeng prepare a diamond ring for you, and propose to you in public. ”
Fang Jiayi smiled shyly, at the mercy of Zhao's mother, without saying a word. Fang Zhenhua waved his hand and said: "Old girl, it's not as complicated as graduation, what kind of engagement ceremony is there to do in everyone, I think this is an engagement, and if we go to have a meal at noon, it will be an engagement banquet." ”
Father Zhao hurriedly said, "Brother Fang, isn't this wronged Jiayi?" ”
Fang Zhenhua glanced at Fang Jiayi, who was smiling shyly, and said, "Brother Zhao, don't worry." Didn't you look at this girl's happy look? As long as she can be with Changfeng, she will be very happy, so why would she mind holding an engagement ceremony? ”
Mother Zhao said on the side: "Brother Fang, I always feel sorry for Jiayi like this, let the child be too wronged!" The engagement ceremony also doesn't cost much. It's better to put on a show for the children. ”
Fang Zhenhua waved his hand and said that it is better not to do it, the time is so tight, it is time to get married when Changfeng comes out of the party school, there is no need to squeeze out time for the engagement ceremony.
Zhao's father and Zhao's mother couldn't force it, so they had to give up.
At noon, Fang Zhenhua called Fang Tianlei and his wife to come over, and went to the international hotel outside for a meal together, even if it was Fang Jiayi's engagement banquet.
Zhao Changfeng really didn't expect that the engagement banquet and engagement ceremony would be so simple and in such a hurry, which made him feel very sorry for Fang Jiayi. Fang Jiayi also glared at Zhao Changfeng when Fang Zhenhua and Zhao's father and Zhao's mother were not paying attention, and her lips closed together to protest to Zhao Changfeng, Zhao Changfeng could read it, Fang Jiayi called him Zhao Lao! Because he promised Fang Jiayi a large diamond ring that he hasn't bought yet! How can this be called an engagement? In fact, this is not to blame Zhao Changfeng, Zhao Changfeng did not expect that Fang Zhenhua would not agree to their marriage, once he agreed, he would be so neat and tidy, and those complicated ceremonies were omitted. Many big leaders took advantage of the opportunity of their children's engagement to hold ceremonies and took the opportunity to receive a large amount of congratulatory gifts. And Fang Zhenhua didn't plan to put his mind into this aspect at all, so he ate a table of five or six hundred yuan and a meal of wine and food, which was considered an engagement ceremony. Zhao Changfeng originally planned that if Fang Zhenhua agreed to the marriage, then he would accompany Fang Jiayi to pick a diamond ring, but now? Let's leave this diamond ring at the wedding.
Fang Jiayi and Zhao Changfeng accompanied Zhao's father and Zhao's mother to play in Zhongzhou for two days, and Zhao's father and Zhao's mother felt that staying here would affect Fang Jiayi and Zhao Changfeng's work too much, so they yelled to go back. Zhao Changfeng knew in his heart that his parents couldn't rest assured of the family's dry goods business, so he no longer forced him to stay and sent his parents back.
Zhao Changfeng's study in the party school ended on May 25, and the son selected by Fang Zhenhua and Zhao's father and Zhao's mother was on June 18, which means that Zhao Changfeng must prepare for the wedding immediately after the end of his study in the party school, which made Zhao Changfeng always feel that the wedding time was too rushed, but Fang Zhenhua insisted on setting it at this time, and he told Zhao Changfeng that he could also prepare for the wedding during the three months of study in the party school.
After the opening of the party school, Zhao Changfeng lived in the dormitory arranged by the party school according to Fang Zhenhua's explanation. Although it is said that according to the administrative level of the deputy director, he can live in a dormitory for two people, and it is equipped with air conditioning, which is much higher than the treatment of the section-level cadres below, but after all, it is not comfortable to live at home, but Zhao Changfeng knows that this is a rare opportunity to integrate into the collective of the middle and youth class. Therefore, Zhao Changfeng lived in the dormitory and mingled with other students in the middle and youth class. Of course, there are also a few students in the middle and youth class, whose home is Zhongzhou, or have relatives in Zhongzhou, in order to reflect the different superiority from other students, after class every day, they leave the party school, go home or go to live in a relative's house, which makes Zhao Changfeng sigh, if it weren't for Fang Zhenhua's guidance, he would probably be like this, and he would not choose to stay in the party school dormitory.
During the three months of the party school, Zhao Changfeng communicated with the students of the middle and youth classes according to Fang Zhenhua's instructions, and frequently contacted each other, and the relationship between them was very solid, which was equivalent to an intangible political capital for Zhao Changfeng, which is now deposited in the bank, and when it is needed one day in the future, it can be withdrawn from the bank at any time, and at this time, the political investment he deposited at the beginning does not know how many times it has increased.
After the three-month training of the party school's middle and young classes, Zhao Changfeng felt that he was a lot more mature, and this maturity can be understood as theoretical maturity, ideological maturity, and political maturity.
After coming out of the party school, Zhao Changfeng began to be busy with Fang Jiayi's marriage. In fact, there is nothing busy, the new house has already been renovated, under Fang Jiayi's design, the decoration is beautiful, even Fang Tianlei shouted after reading it and said that he didn't know that his sister still had such a design talent, and he had to ask Fang Jiayi to redesign their house with a set of decoration plans. The wedding dresses and diamond rings are also ready, these things were brought back from abroad by Zhao Changfeng, although Fang Zhenhua was very dissatisfied with Zhao Changfeng's move, but Zhao Changfeng still did it, and he would marry like this once in his life, and he couldn't let Fang Jiayi be wronged. Taking wedding photos is also very easy to do, Fang Jiayi's classmate opened a photo studio at home, and found two of the most high-end photographers, and went out for two days in a row, so he helped Zhao Changfeng and Fang Jiayi get the wedding photos done.
The remaining problem is to book a hotel and place an invitation, after all, Fang Zhenhua used to be the commander of the provincial military region, and his daughter is married, so there must be something special about this invitation. Fang Tianlei of the hotel made a decision for Zhao Changfeng, but when it came to the invitation, Fang Tianlei asked Zhao Changfeng to ask Fang Zhenhua.
knocked on the door of the study, and Fang Zhenhua's majestic voice came from inside: "Come in!" ”
Zhao Changfeng pushed open the door of the study and walked in: "Dad, Brother Tianlei is going to arrange a hotel and set a table here, he asked me to come over and ask you, who do we need to invite here?" ”
Fang Zhenhua took off his reading glasses and said to Zhao Changfeng: "Zhao Changfeng, the simpler the better, you don't need to invite so many people." Do you know why I didn't agree with you and the girl last year? ”
Zhao Changfeng's face was hot, and he said: "Dad, you said that I was too greedy, so I was worried that I couldn't control myself and would hurt Jiayi, so I hope I will hone more." ”
Fang Zhenhua nodded and said, "This is just one of the reasons. There is another reason, it was not good to tell you at the time, but of course I can tell you now. If you and the girl had a wedding last year, there would have been a lot of people who would have tried their best to come and attend. Because last year was the year of the change, there were many people who still had to borrow my old bones. This year is different, the change has passed, and the residual heat of my old bones has been exerted, and those people can't remember who my old man is. At this time, if you and the girl hold a wedding again, it will be much cleaner. Your wedding with the girl must be low-key, I don't want to make a big fuss all over the city. ”
Speaking of this, Fang Zhenhua looked at Zhao Changfeng with his eyes and said, "Do you understand my intention?" ”
Zhao Changfeng thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Dad, I understand." At this time, it is good for me to keep a low profile. ”
Fang Zhenhua smiled and said, "It's good that you understand." ”
Zhao Changfeng thought for a moment and said: "Dad, otherwise, I will try to be as simple as possible, and only invite a few good classmates, in addition, Uncle Zhao Qiang, as well as Uncle Li Enhua of the Administration of Organ Affairs and Director Jin Yuyuan of the Department of Commerce, and the others will not be notified." ”
"I think so." Fang Zhenhua put on reading glasses, "As for me, I won't notify anyone here, there will be no outsiders at that time, but Jiayi's aunt will definitely come from Yanjing." ”
