Chapter 627: Preparing for the Wedding
As a man in his early thirties who is ready to start a family, this may be a normal thing, as the so-called man should marry and the woman should get married, so the news that he is going to get married not only did not cause a similar surprise effect, but received a lot of complaints.
Gao Jianbin is an orphan whose parents died, and the villagers treat him as their own child, and the elders' wish is simple, that is, they hope to see this day, but he has been unwilling to get married, which has become a heart disease for many old people in the village. There is a traditional belief in the countryside that no matter how old you are, you can't be an adult in the true sense of the word if you are not married.
Since the wedding was held in Qingyuan Village, it was indispensable to trouble his group of partners who grew up together, although these people all lived in the village, but no matter what the situation was, Gao Jianbin regarded them as his relatives and brothers.
After Zhang Wenliang received the call, he even said lightly: "You should have gotten married a long time ago, you and I, even the children are running all over the ground, and we should go to kindergarten next year!" As the saying goes, unfilial piety is the greatest, your Gao family can be your only seedling, hurry up, get married and have a child early, and the old people can rest in peace underground. β
Gao Jianbin said: "What age is this, you still believe in this set of theories of "Meng", I and you have been fooled by the ancients, and blame Grandpa Zhang, which Four Books and Five Classics did you teach you nothing." β
Zhang Wenliang said with a big grin: "It is our duty to have children, if we don't want children, how can human beings continue to thrive?" Okay, if I don't talk to you about these things, you just want us to do something, right? β
Gao Jianbin smiled: "You are all married, do you still use my new hand to teach you how to do it?" For example, the new house at home needs to be renovated, simpler, I estimate that at most it will be a week to go back, don't delay things before the decoration is completed. Zhang Wenliang said with a smile: "This thing is very simple, I asked the decoration team to stop other work first, and all of it will be done for you within three days, you don't know how many days to live at home." It's useless to pick up too well. β
Gao Jianbin said: "There are a few more kitchens to prepare, and this wedding banquet is divided into two parts, one is where the hotel's chef cooks, and the other is where the chef from our village cooks." All the dishes are based on the customs of our village, and there are not enough people in the village to cook them. I went to the neighboring village and spent money. These people who come to the wedding banquet are not very rare mountain and sea delicacies, but like ordinary fried chicken stew, I absolutely like it, and I want to fry the chicken, fish, and meat in advance. Since it is the main dish of the wedding banquet, the quantity required must be a lot. β
Zhang Wenliang said: "If you want to tell me how many guests I have, I can calculate what I need." Gao Jianbin thought for a while and said: "I calculated how to set up fifty or sixty tables, but in order to prevent accidents, we must prepare according to the materials of one hundred tables." Ask Yueying and Jiaojiao to go shopping, and then report the number to me. β
Zhang Wenliang said in surprise: "Good guy, a hundred tables, there are a thousand benches alone, and the dishes and chopsticks are even more amazing." Gao Jianbin said: "An ordinary white porcelain bowl is seven or eight cents a piece, an ordinary porcelain plate is at most five yuan a piece, and a horse tie is only ten yuan a piece, and it doesn't cost much, you drive a big truck to the wholesale market to pull a car." These are all things that can be reused. When the wedding banquet is over, I will divide the villagers from house to house, and if I am alone, I will not be able to use it up for several generations. β
Zhang Wenliang said with a smile: "Do we still need to buy the dishes for the wedding banquet?" The organic vegetables sent by Meteor Bridge Town in the year you left made the whole village eat for half a year. The taste of the making is really good. β
Gao Jianbin said: "That's simple, if I make a call, someone will naturally send it, you need to count the number and type of use in advance, it doesn't matter if there are more." You can't not eat enough, it would be too embarrassing. You can also help me connect with the better classmates in our high school class. First of all, I don't need to give me gifts, after all, I didn't go when they got married, and I didn't give gifts to others, so the impact of receiving gifts at this time is not good. If you want to come, find a place to sit down and eat, and if you don't come, you don't have to force it. β
Zhang Wenliang said with some hesitation: "Do you still notify Donghai City?" Of course, Gao Jianbin knew who he was talking about, thought for a while and said, "I'll call Linlin later, she can come by herself, I don't want to see anyone else." β
Zhang Wenliang said: "Jianbin, according to the customs of our Qingyuan Village, you have to find an elder to go to Li Li's house before you get married. Gao Jianbin said: "My father also has an aunt, according to the seniority, I should call her the old man aunt, let you ask me when I leave, have you forgotten this stubble?" β
Zhang Wenliang said with a smile: "I really can't remember if you don't mention it, I asked you, in Luoqing Town, Qinghua City, a county-level city in Qingtai City, your old aunt and old uncle are still alive, but they are almost ninety years old, there are two uncles and two aunts at home, and there are seven of your cousins and sisters, which can be regarded as prosperous." Strictly speaking, your aunt's family conditions are very ordinary, and I didn't point out that you are the original deputy secretary of the Haizhou Municipal Party Committee and executive deputy mayor, and you will deal with this relationship when you go by yourself. β
Gao Jianbin sighed and said: "I am also ashamed of my aunt's family, I have been busy with work for so many years and have not gone to her old man's house, if it weren't for my aunt's funding, my father would not have had the opportunity to go to college, and it would be impossible for me to appear, this time I will go back to Luoqing Town to compensate her family, isn't there a saying in my hometown, my aunt is a family from generation to generation." β
Gao Xuelin was extremely excited after receiving the call, and said, "Brother, why haven't you called me for so long, I thought you forgot about me!" Gao Jianbin smiled: "How is it possible, where are you and Fang Haiyang progressing now, have you ever thought about getting married?" β
Gao Xuelin said: "Hai Duong is very busy now, since he cooperated with the Commission for Discipline Inspection to investigate the leadership of the management committee two years ago, the municipal party committee removed several key leaders from their positions, although he is still at the deputy department level, but he is the director of the management committee. The municipal party committee and the municipal government attach great importance to the economic and technological development zone, and I sometimes don't see him once a week, either to invite those investors to dinner or to participate in the fair, anyway, we are all very young, two years later, I am still the section chief of the National Treasury Section, and now I have become a deputy section-level cadre. β
Gao Jianbin knew what was going on, and Zhang Guowen was the secretary of the municipal party committee. This situation was expected, and he said: "It's okay to get married later, but your brother and I are going to get married, so you have to ask for leave from the unit for the past two days." Help me in Qingyuan Village. I guess I'll be back in a week. Gao Xuelin said in surprise: "What you said is true? That's great! I'll say hello to the leader right away, and I'll go to Qingyuan Village tomorrow! β
But when she said this, after a slight pause, Gao Xuelin said again: "Can you let Brother Jianming and his sister-in-law go with him in this matter." Multiple people have multiple helpers, and it's not good if the family doesn't come forward. β
Gao Jianbin said lightly: "If you want, call him twice, he can mix well in China Merchants, right?" Gao Xuelin said with a smile: "When I entered the China Merchants Bureau from the clerk of the street office, I was the section chief of the comprehensive department, and now I am also a section-level cadre." With Secretary Zhang as the backing, he turned purple in front of the bureau leaders. Brother Jianming's father-in-law originally disagreed with the marriage between the two, but his market was soaring, and he urged him to get married last winter, for fear that Brother Jianming would not want the girl of the Liu family. β
Gao Jianbin shook his head slightly, there is an old saying that a person who attains the Tao of the chicken and dog ascends to heaven, people are often so realistic, although he himself has no intention of changing this qiΔ. But it has invisibly affected the trajectory of many people's lives.
After hanging up the phone, he called Guo Yongjian again, the two are both classmates and former comrades-in-arms, and the relationship is naturally extraordinary.
Guo Yongjian was also very happy to receive his call, and said: "You haven't contacted me for so long, how can you have time today?" β
Gao Jianbin said with a smile: "I will go back to my hometown in Haizhou to get married in a few days." I'll say hello first, and remember to come for a glass of wine when the time comes. Guo Yongjian laughed and said: "You are finally willing to let go of your single life and enter the siege of marriage, no problem." I'll be sure to go then, and I'm still thinking about calling you for the next two days. It's time for the classmates in our class to get together, just take the opportunity of your return to make a notice, tell me in advance when you come to the provincial capital, and I'll tell you that I haven't seen each other for a long time. β
Gao Jianbin also sighed a little emotionally when he heard the party, when he was in Haizhou, this group of classmates from the Provincial Party School helped him a lot, and said: "I will deal with something else in Kyoto, it is estimated that it will take four or five days, and you will notify everyone according to the place of the week, and I will also be invited one by one." Do you know that the current real leader of Qingtai City, who is our classmate? β
Guo Yongjian said: "What, do you have something to deal with?" I can do it without anyone else, just tell me. Gao Jianbin said with a smile: "The county official is not as good as the current management, this is the law of officialdom, if you want to make a move, then the matter will be big, I have a relative in Qinghua City, Qingtai City, there has been no news for many years, and now I have found it, after returning to Haizhou, I am going to take some time to go to know which classmate is there, and it is good to borrow from him if I encounter anything." β
Guo Yongjian said: "This is too simple, after Secretary Ji Changrong was transferred, the new member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Tan Jiaping, belongs to Secretary Jin's faction, and Mayor Lu Chengde is our classmate. It's not that I'm bragging, it's rare to find a problem with our group of classmates in Nanjiang Province, I'm afraid it's really not much! β
Although what Guo Yongjian said was a bit big, it was indeed the truth, and a training class for reserve cadres at the provincial and ministerial level could be described as a gathering of elites in the province, and everyone who came out of it had a bright future. In the development of TongguΓ² in the past few years, the worst students are now at the department level, and there are several special talents who have entered the ranks of deputy provincial and ministerial leaders, just like Guo Yongjian and Lu Chengde. The mayor is the number one leader of the government, and his influence is second only to that of the secretary of the municipal party committee, if he can't even do a little trivial thing, then he can go to death and can't afford to lose this person.
Gao Jianbin laughed and said: "It's not as strict as you said, I just want to give my relatives a little compensation and help, Lao Lu has a deep background and a lot of energy, and his skills and scheming are also top-notch among his classmates, so there will be no problem in looking for him." β
The phone call made his ears start to hurt, Gao Jianbin put down his mobile phone, and just wanted to walk around the courtyard twice, but the doorbell rang. He turned out to be Zhang Wenhua and Zhang Jinxuan's father and daughter, and hurriedly ran to the front yard to open the gate.
invited the two to the living room, Zhang Wenhua said with a smile: "I heard that you and Xu Yang went to the single farewell ceremony last night?" Gao Jianbin's face did not change and his heart did not beat, and he replied: "Yes, I am not very familiar with the conventions of these Kyoto circles. It was all arranged by Brother Fu and Brother Shao. β
Zhang Wenhua said with relief: "It seems that you have completely integrated with them, otherwise you would not have received such a high-standard treatment." Speaking of this, he changed his words and said: "I also heard that you and Tan Sufei of the Tan family had a very fierce conflict in the reception hall and splashed tea on her face. Yu Hongzhe was also present. He also received a slap in the face of Tan Sophie, according to rumors, this conflict was secretly provoked by him, you and I will be honest, what is the truth. It's about your sister's lifelong happiness. β
Gao Jianbin did not hide it in the slightest, and told the father and daughter in detail about the incident that happened last night. Before Zhang Wenhua could express his position, Zhang Jinxuan said angrily: "He deserves to be slapped like this, it's so shameless." Fooling around openly with that kind of sister, what kind of situation did you put the Zhang family and me in? Tan Su Fei is the eldest lady of the Tan family, her reputation in the Kyoto circle is not good, it is said that her private life is very disorderly, but he follows this kind of person, groveling like a slave, and in the end not only did not take any advantage, but also lost face in front of the public, why was I blind in the first place. Actually on this kind of person! β
Zhang Wenhua said calmly: "Jinxuan, you don't have to be angry with people like Yu Hongzhe, anyway, there will be no chance for you and him to continue to communicate in the future." Otherwise, you can go shopping with your sister-in-law. I have something else to say to you, Brother Jianbin. β
Zhang Jinxuan was not very interested in officialdom, so she called Li Li very happily, and after knowing their exact location, she left the Gao family. The driver of the Zhang family has been waiting outside, and it is very convenient to get somewhere.
Wait for my daughter to leave. Zhang Wenhua lit a cigarette and said sternly: "I came to tell you this time, the elders of the Tan family said hello to me this morning, I hope that this incident in the noble manor will end here, and not continue to expand, the Tan family promises not to trouble you because of this, and you don't want to look for the back account." It's not right to talk about Su Fei, but if you splash tea on her face, it can be considered offset. β
Gao Jianbin said: "Of course there is no problem on my side, I can't afford to provoke a big family like the Tan family, but talking about Su Fei, a woman, will not be so simple and resigned, I can judge from her words and deeds." β
Zhang Wenhua said: "The identities of your group of people are very sensitive, and the destructive power caused is also quite strong, if there is a fierce collision between several families because of this little thing, it will have an impact on the situation of stability and harmony, and the high-level will never allow this kind of situation to occur." If Tan Sufei takes advantage of the family relationship to take revenge on you in private, it will violate the rules of the game, then we can become famous and join forces to exert pressure on the Tan family. What you need to do is to wait and be patient, you must not do it first if the other party does not do it. β
Gao Jianbin nodded and said, "Secretary Zhang, don't worry, in fact, I'm not interested in fighting with that kind of woman." β
Zhang Wenhua said: "You are the secretary of the municipal party committee and mayor of Linghe City, which is in a stage of rapid change, and you can't stay outside for a long time, plus you have to go back to your hometown in Haizhou to hold a wedding, so after several leaders nodded, the specific date of the wedding banquet is set for noon tomorrow." Gao Jianbin said in surprise: "This is inevitably too fast, I haven't prepared anything yet!" β
Zhang Wenhua said with a smile: "Don't make too much trouble, Xu Yang and they will all come to help you tomorrow morning, and they are also the driver of the team, and Wang Xiangmin is also here, and there are enough people." The process of the wedding banquet is also very simple, especially some old chiefs, who are not in good health and have strict restrictions on diet, and when they toast, they just say that they can just say it, most of them just take this opportunity to meet you, and by the way, you can chat with old comrades-in-arms and old friends, and then you need to rest more when you are older, and the time control is about two hours. Shenghua, the national guesthouse, has already said hello, and you don't need to worry about it. β
Then he said earnestly: "Jianbin, your wedding banquet can be attended by so many leaders, which is enough to show the recognition and appreciation of the high-level for you, and it is also a heavy trust and expectation. Many leading cadres dare not dream of it, with them as your backing, you do not need to have any worries, take out all your wisdom and painstaking efforts, and use the implementation of the country's strategy for the large-scale development of the western region to completely change the economic outlook of Linghe City, so that the people can live a prosperous and happy life, this is the greatest reward for the leaders, do you understand what I said? β
Gao Jianbin said: "This is also my ideal and wish, no matter what difficulties and obstacles I encounter in the future, I will not shake my belief in fighting for the country and the people all my life!"
