September 13th and 14th are weekends, and Chen Guan simply spent Sunday in the provincial capital, helping Tangtai Mingyue filter the things that should be prepared before the wedding and reduce the burden of Tangtai Mingyue.

Seeing that their son was about to get married in half a month, Chen Xuezhi and Zheng Yulian called Chen Guan and said that they were going to drive to the provincial capital on Monday to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with their son and daughter-in-law in the provincial capital, and then they would not go back, and stayed in the provincial capital to help Tai Mingyue prepare for the wedding.

At this time, there is no holiday for the Mid-Autumn Festival, Chen Guan will return to the ancient capital to work on Monday, Chen Xuezhi and Zheng Yulian will come over on Monday, and they will not see him. Moreover, the Mid-Autumn Festival to the National Day double festival itself is the peak tourist season, Wulongyu Scenic Area is very busy, plus Chen Xuezhi and Zheng Yulian are coming, and they can't help Tai Mingyue too much. Therefore, after Chen Guan discussed with Tangtai Mingyue, he replied to his parents, saying that it was not necessary to arrive so early, just three or five days in advance. came early, and Tai Mingyue still had to worry about taking care of them.

That means that after Chen Xuezhi and Zheng Yulian came, not only could they not help, but they also caused trouble!

Zheng Yulian was so angry that she was so verbose on the phone!

Tai Mingyue's parents also called, saying that they were preparing to take a train from the capital to the provincial capital on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and go to the provincial capital to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with their daughter and son-in-law.

Chen Guan didn't let his parents come in advance, and Mingyue naturally didn't let her parents come too early in advance, and she refused on the phone, saying that there was no holiday during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Chen Guan would go back to work in the ancient capital on Monday, not in the provincial capital.

Shen Yu said on the phone that she and Tantai You came in advance for the purpose of the Mid-Autumn Festival, in addition to the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion, the main purpose was to prepare a dowry for Tantai Mingyue. You have to have a dowry when you marry a girl, otherwise you will be laughed at!

Yutai Mingyue said that there is no need for anything, as long as the parents and brothers and sisters-in-law come to the wedding, everything is ready, the house is renovated, the household appliances are complete, and there is no need for a dowry!

Shen Yu counted her daughter as ignorant, marriage is a major event in life, how can parents not give their daughter a marriage? It's one thing to have money or not, to accompany more and less, but it's another thing not to give a dowry! Whose girl marries without a dowry? Just buy some cotton and sew a few beds of bedding, that's also a dowry! Anyway, no matter how much, you have to accompany it! Tangtai Mingyue held the phone in her hand, turned her head and shouted at Chen Guan: "My mother said that you must do a dowry, you hurry up and tell me, what do you want?" ”

Chen Guan's answer was, "No!" ”

Shen Yu scolded her daughter on the phone for becoming more and more ignorant the longer she grows, and she has become a fool!

What answered Shen Yu was a giggle like a silver bell in the bright moon of the platform!

The dowry is to lay a material foundation for the young man's new life, the object of the moon is Chen Guan, who runs a gold mine and a concentrator factory, and he can't spend a lot of money in his life, where do you need to do a dowry for their daughter!

On Saturday night, Chen Guan called Xue Yongquan, Sheng Hua, and Chu Zhanhai together, set a table, and asked the three of them to help Tangtai Mingyue prepare for the wedding.

Xue Yongquan is now the deputy department-level inspector of the newly promoted Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, Chen Guan doesn't call him, he doesn't know that Chen Guan has returned to the provincial capital from the ancient capital!

Xue Yongquan meant that taking advantage of Chen Guan's marriage, notifying all the students who went to the United States to study in the United States was tantamount to a party.

Sheng Hua considered that the Provincial Public Security Department has a huge team, which level should be notified!

Chu Zhanhai is still just a reporter now, and he can't even take the turn of a deputy section level, so he doesn't dare to speak in the face of Xue Yongquan and Sheng Hua. After the two of them finished speaking, they whispered to Chen Guan to discuss, did they notify the whole class, including the teacher?

Chen Guan's answer surprised everyone, saying that he only waited for 20 tables in total. Among them, there are 10 tables of his mother's family, classmates, friends, and colleagues, and his own relatives, colleagues, classmates, and friends are also 10 tables. For the students who went to the United States to study in the class, only the class leaders Zhang Zhiguo and his wife and Xue Yongquan were invited to participate, plus the instructors during the training at the armed police base, and arranged a table together; The Provincial Public Security Department only notifies team members to participate and arranges one table; University students only notify students in the provincial capital to participate, not students in other places, nor teachers, and it is also a table; The old relatives of his parents each sent a representative from each family and arranged a table; Tonghua Township, Zhouli Township, Mingshui County Public Security Bureau and Longwan Township, where they have worked, each arrange one table, a total of four tables; The old leaders of Shuiquan City and Mingshui County arranged a table, and other friends arranged a table. A total of 10 tables have been counted, and all of them have been implemented, and it is impossible to increase the number of people.

Xue Yongquan said that this arrangement is absolutely not good, and the students who went to the United States to study in the class have long wanted to find an opportunity to get together, and if they knew that Chen Guan was married, they would definitely come to drink the wedding wine. Won't you receive it then? Isn't that a joke?

Chen Guan said that it is enough to do a good job of confidentiality and not let everyone know. For example, the provincial department, he will not report and notify in advance, and plans to report to Director Meng on the morning of the wedding day, so as to avoid other comrades coming to participate after knowing about it.

Sheng Hua asked the Gudu City Public Security Bureau? Notification or notification?

Chen Guan said that he would not be notified and would not be allowed to participate. After the wedding, when he went back to work, he bought some candy and melon seeds, and asked the office to give them to everyone!

Xue Yongquan said that Chen Guan would never do it like this, and he had to mess up the pot in the end! The reason is very simple, this is a happy event, how can you keep the secret? The one who knows is coming, can you stop it? Not to mention anything else, just the Provincial Public Security Department, there is no reason to only notify the team members, the comrades of various departments and corps know about it, and they will definitely come, can we not let the family drink the wine?

Chen Guan said that there is no way, according to the discipline regulations, it is enough to wait for 20 tables, and this base cannot be broken!

As soon as he talked about discipline, Xue Yongquan was silent!

Chu Zhanhai asked another question, saying that he participated in other people's weddings, and in the end, he had to arrange meals for the chief managers of the wedding, the gunners, the photographers, the cameramen, the wedding company, the bride's makeup, and the drivers, and there were two or three tables for this. You can't let everyone work hard and not even eat a meal, right?

Chen Guan really didn't expect this question!

Sheng Hua came up with the idea that he could entertain guests in advance, like colleagues in the provincial department, he could stay in advance, and it didn't matter how many tables he waited!

Chen Guan said that he wanted to make money through the wedding, so he didn't do it!

It's not left, it's not right, can't you do it!

Seeing that Chen Guan was embarrassed, Tantai Mingyue said that it really couldn't work, and her 10 tables would be reduced by a few tables.

Chen Guan asked where did the bright moon of Tangtai be reduced?

Tantai Mingyue said that her mother's family has a total of four tables, three tables for the TV news department, and three tables for classmates and friends. If the number of tables is really tight, I will not invite my colleagues in the Department of Public Information, and spare three tables for the wedding company and service staff.

Xue Yongquan said that it is absolutely not good, how can you not tell the unit about such a big thing as marriage? Not only do you have to say it, but you also have to invite the leaders of the unit to be the officiant and witness! If you really can't do it, you can prepare three tables to prepare the table, and if there are fewer people, you don't need to use the table, and if there are more people, you can use the table. Tables are prepared to entertain staff, and are not counted as hospitality, and should not be counted in the number of hospitality tables.

Chen Guan asked a little puzzledly: "Are you sure that entertaining staff is not hospitality?" ”

Xue Yongquan thought about it and said that it was certain!

Xue Yongquan is a department-level cadre of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and he said that he should be fine.

In fact, Chen Guan is a little too concerned about the influence, too clean, and too cautious. This was a period of great economic development, and although the discipline regulations did not allow large-scale operations, no one pursued such problems at all. Miao Kunsheng, secretary of the Mingshui County Party Committee, had such a white thing as his father died, and asked the county party committee office to notify all units and townships directly under the county one by one, and no one was held accountable for him!

Miao Kunsheng held a big funeral and no one pursued it, it was his luck! Chen Guan is not willing to do that, he will never take advantage of marriage to make a big deal and receive gifts and entertain guests!

And so it was settled. Then there is the specific division of labor, Sheng Hua arranges the vehicles needed by the convoy, Xue Yongquan is the general manager, and Chu Zhanhai is responsible for arranging specific chores such as gunshots, cameras, and photography.

Xue Yongquan then asked who the officiant was, who was the marryer, and who was the matchmaker?

Chen Guan remembered that Hu Ming had told him that he wanted to be his officiant, so he said that Hu Ming, executive deputy secretary of the Shuiquan City Commission for Discipline Inspection, would serve as the officiant, and the leader of the Mingyue unit would serve as the marrying person, and the director of the information department would do the same. As for the matchmaker, Chen Guan said that he didn't need it, he and Tangtai Mingyue were in love, and they didn't need to find a matchmaker.

Without waiting for Xue Yongquan to speak, Sheng Hua smiled and said that Director Chen had thought about this matter simply. Director Chen is now the deputy director of the provincial department, according to the rules, the officiant should ask the secretary of the political and legal committee of the provincial party committee or the vice governor in charge to serve as the chief minister, even if he is not willing to trouble the leaders, then he has to let Director Meng serve as the director. Otherwise, Director Meng would have an idea! Witnesses, it stands to reason that they have to match the level of the officiant, at least, they have to be a department-level leader. As for matchmakers, the tradition of the Chinese is the order of parents and the words of matchmakers, which is the Ming media is marrying! How can you do it without a matchmaker? Nowadays, when young people get married, many people are in free love, but when they get married, they have to find a matchmaker. The role of the matchmaker is very large, you have to coordinate the relationship between the two parties, and you have to give a bride price, which is absolutely indispensable!

Saying this, Chen Guan remembered the bride price, turned his head and asked Tai Mingyue: "Mingyue, yes, how much bride price do you have to give your family?" ”

Yutai Mingyue sneered, saying that his parents were intellectuals from the military, and their thinking was not feudal at all, and they would not ask for a bride price! However, if Chen Guan really wants to send it, it depends on Chen Guan's heart, 108,000 is not too much, 35,000 is not too little, just have that meaning!

Chen Guan thought about Li Fulai's marriage and gave a bride price of 10,000 yuan, so he said that it was decided to give a bride price of 20,000 yuan!

When Mingyue opened her mouth, she said: "Pick the door!" ”

The bride price of 20,000 yuan is not a small amount at this time, but Chen Guan is married to Tangtai Mingyue, the sky is fragrant, and the most beautiful beauty anchor of the provincial TV station is Tangtai Mingyue, 20,000 yuan, which is a little cold.

Xue Yongquan said: "The bride price is no longer talked about here, you can just go home and discuss it." First determine the main marriage, marriage applicant, and matchmaker, which cannot be delayed! ”

Chen Guan thought that what Sheng Hua said made sense, so he said that the officiant should be the director of the Meng Qingchuan department, and the witnesses should be the director or secretary of the provincial TV station. As for the matchmaker, Chen Guan said that he would ask Hu Ming to serve as the matchmaker, and he said to Hu Ming's brother when he turned around!

The major event was basically settled, and as for the details, Chen Guan said that he had to ask Xue Yongquan to communicate with the wedding company and make specific arrangements. You can arrange it however you want, as long as the wedding is done at that time, there is not so much to pay attention to!
