Chapter 277: An Unforgettable Wedding
At 8 o'clock in the morning, the countdown to the wedding preparations began.
The flower shop sent a large cart of flowers, and the Chinese and American volunteers recruited by Yaoyao began to place them as planned. Dozens of pairs of small hands moved together, and the open-air wedding scene suddenly turned into a sea of flowers.
After arranging the flowers, they put a wreath on their heads. said that they were today's "waiters", otherwise they would not be able to distinguish from the upcoming little guests.
The bus was rented in Ruzhong, Han Hong and his wife and relatives and friends from their hometown came very early, and as soon as they got off the bus, they surrounded Mr. Han and praised Yaoyao for her ability.
Zhang Lin and the bridesmaids put on makeup in the talent apartment, and they didn't come over until half past 10, and Vice Mayor Zhu Junfeng, Professor Qi, and two diplomats, Brian and Jack, who served as the best men, were posing for ginger to take pictures.
The uninvited guest yesterday was so hateful, Jiang Huiru, Xia Moqing, and Zhang Xiang worried all night, for fear that he would come over today to stir up the situation. found an excuse to pull Han Jun aside, and asked in a low voice: "Director, what if that Guo Yinuo and others come?" ”
Han Jun straightened his bow tie and smiled proudly: "He won't come." ”
Unrequited lovers can do anything, Xia Moqing asked suspiciously: "Really?" ”
"Don't worry, his ass is not clean, and he won't dare to come with a hundred guts."
"Not clean?"
Seeing the puzzled looks on the faces of the three of them, Han Jun simply walked to the edge of the woods and patiently explained: "In order to apply for a green card, he has participated in some activities of Fa L Gong, demonstrated, paraded, and made a series of ** remarks, but now he has returned to China to teach in a high-sounding manner, and has even been selected for the Thousand Talents Program." He not only cheated politically, but also misbehaved academically, plagiarizing several papers. There are all kinds of indications that he is likely to be suspected of tax evasion in the United States.
As long as I thought, a few emails could make him lose his residency and ruin his reputation. The United States cannot go back, and China's teaching post cannot be kept, so the upper outline can check whether he has any connection with the cult organization. Isn't this what the 601 office does, so he's nervous at the moment, how dare he come to us. ”
Xia Moqing was happy, and couldn't help but smile and asked, "Director." You warned him? ”
"I sent him an email and told him to weigh it up. It turned out that he was a soft egg, and after reading it, he emailed me back, saying unashamedly to let me treat Zhang Lin well and bless us. Then I packed my bags and ran away overnight. It is foreseeable that for a long time in the future, he will not dare to take another step into Jiang Province. ”
Jiang Huiru asked with a puzzled expression: "Director, why didn't you expose him and let him fall into disrepute?" ”
Nine out of ten Chinese Americans were left behind by the patronage of Tong Guò Zhengzhì, and that kind of thing cannot be taken seriously. Plagiarize the papers of foreign colleagues at least a few times, don't professors always do this.
Han Junzhen didn't know how to explain, so he could only shake his head and smile: "You can't kill them all, if you force his dog to jump off the wall in a hurry, what if I don't pay attention and hurt Zhang Lin and Yaoyao?" You are the police, and you should know very well that there are only a thousand days to catch thieves. There is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days. ”
"The director is right, he has to be forgiving and forgiving, as long as he doesn't make trouble, there is no need to make such a big enmity."
The piano was moved out, the sound system rented from the convention company was put up, and the Pastor Willis organized the choir for one last rehearsal. The perfect melody, the clear and harmonious singing voice sounded again, or warm and joyful, or elegant and holy, which made people never get tired of listening to it. Won a round of applause.
If the grass belongs to all the owners, the consent of the neighbors must be obtained in advance.
Yaoyao had already done this work and sent out invitations. After moving to Xishan Villa for so long, Han Junzhen saw his neighbors for the first time. Under the introduction of "Onion Baby", I would like to express my gratitude one by one.
"Director Han, this is the first happy event that our community has held, no matter how busy we are, we have to come."
Except for the fact that the diet was a little simple, everything else was impeccable, and a rich lady with a jewel exclaimed, "Yes." You can see how well it has been done, and the pastors and choirs that have been specially invited from the United States are really eye-opening. When my son gets married, I must ask Yaoyao to help with the planning. ”
Han Jun smiled modestly: "The children are messing around, making everyone laugh." ”
"Don't mess around, don't mess around at all, it's really good, Director Han, you're really blessed."
As he was talking, the woman's relatives and friends arrived one after another. Han Jun came forward to greet Xiaoping's two sons under the introduction of Xiaoping.
Zhang's father and mother's hospital leaders and colleagues were completely stunned, and they couldn't believe that there were so many foreigners, including even the consul and visa officer of the political department of the U.S. Consulate General in SH.
What made them even more incredible was that the famous academician of the Academy of Engineering and their colleague Director Xu actually wore a chef's uniform and barbecued the big guy with a group of experts and professors.
As soon as I asked Director Xu about it, black cars arrived one after another, and I knew that it was the provincial leader when I saw the license plate.
Governor Yu, Vice Governor Kang, Secretary Peng of the Political and Legal Committee, and Zhao Zhenxing, the newly appointed Vice Governor and Director of the Public Security Department...... Three members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee came, and four vice governors came, and they came with their wives and children.
The lineup is not one or two points strong, and the specifications are not one or two points high, not only the leaders of the hospital were shocked, but even the billionaires living in Xishan Villa were stunned.
They greeted the groom and walked directly to Mr. Han to say hello, and then Mr. Han introduced him and shook hands cordially with American judges, pastors and police officers.
Leaders of the Legislative Affairs Office, the Foreign Affairs Office, the Department of Justice, the Department of Commerce, and the Public Security Department at or above the department level, as well as the leaders of the Jiangcheng City Bureau, as long as they can come, almost all of them come, and they don't know who to greet first if they want to take the opportunity to contact the wealthy neighbors.
All received by the two "little masters" of "onion" and "ginger", looking at the way her daughter talked to the provincial leaders, Xu Chuanxian couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Baowang, you said that when our Xiaoyi gets married, how many guests will there be and how many leaders will come?" ”
has a good master, and her daughter is not a little bit out.
Transferred from the grassroots level to the provincial department, and now because the provincial department is transferred to the Ministry of Public Security, thinking of his daughter's promotion speed, Jiang Baowang shook his head and smiled: "We are not qualified to handle her marriage, so leave it to her master." Her master said that she would invite as many people as she wanted, and that she would invite which leaders she would invite. ”
"Well, who do we know?"
At 10 o'clock, the wedding officially began.
A newly-dressed wedding car slowly drove over, more than a dozen little flower girls from China and the United States opened the car door, and Zhang's father, dressed in a dress, walked out first, and then took his daughter's hand and walked under the embrace of the flower girl and the four bridesmaids. Music and singing sounded, not cliché wedding marches. It's a beautiful, pure song of blessings.
Yaoyao changed into a beautiful white dress, took her father's hand, and stood on the left side of the pastor surrounded by the groomsmen and waited.
The rest of the session was a bit old-fashioned, with Pastor Willis giving a Bible lecture first. Fortunately, it is English, which most people don't understand. Then ask if you want to, if she is willing, Zhang Lin is like a dream, until the pastor announces that the groom can kiss the bride. Suddenly, her face turned red, and she didn't dare to look at it with her eyes closed.
Don't go to the photo studio to take wedding photos, take them on the wedding day, not pretentious, more harmonious and more natural. Jiang and the neighbors of the doctoral building rushed up, taking pictures and taking pictures, and they were very busy.
Yaoyao raised the microphone and announced in Mandarin first and then in English: "Please invite Daddy and Mommy to dance the first dance, and Grandpa Zhang is invited to sing "ILovedHerFirst"!" ”
Dancing a dance is also an American wedding tradition, and Han Jun and Zhang Lin have rehearsed for it many times. I just didn't expect it to be sung.
In a burst of warm applause, Zhang's father bowed slightly, took the microphone and sang the English song that Yaoyao had trained for more than a month.
It is a lyrical slow song, the song's gentle melody and touching lyrics have touched many people, and it has become a favorite in American wedding occasions as soon as it was released, and it is perfect for side dancers.
Jiang walked up to his parents and translated very movingly: "This is a song that a father sang to his daughter, to the effect that watching you dance together like that, both sides were intoxicated by the moment and stared affectionately. Love overflows, as if there are only the two of you left here, and the whole world is scattered. Not so long ago, it was enough for her to have me. I was the number one person in her heart, she told me so, and she still means the whole world to me......"
The lyrics are indeed very touching, expressing the feelings of a father at this moment.
Zhang's father shed tears of happiness while singing, and Zhang Lin cried while dancing. Thinking that Yaoyao would grow up soon, she also had a time to sing this song. Han Jun also hummed along with tears in his eyes.
"What a beautiful jasmine, what a beautiful jasmine, fragrant and beautiful full of branches, fragrant and white people praise, let me pick you and give it to someone else's home, jasmine, jasmine, jasmine......"
After Zhang's father finished singing, the American children in the choir sang the familiar "Jasmine" in Chinese, and the atmosphere reached **, and all the guests, including Governor Yu, stood up and applauded to send blessings to the newcomers who had just finished dancing.
"Throw flowers, unmarried ladies please come forward!"
With Yaoyao's coquettish laughter, Bai Xiaoqian, Jiang and other unmarried female compatriots were pushed forward by the people around them, and for a while, they were full of laughter.
Governor Yu looked back and smiled: "Lao Kang, now domestic weddings have almost become a burden, weddings are equal to gifts, and many people are deeply disturbed. And the wedding that was supposed to be sacred was often stirred up by the gagging of the master of ceremonies, either torturing the groom in various ways, or telling some vulgar jokes learned on the Internet, causing men to laugh and women to blush, which was not interesting at all. How good it is to do it like a small onion, it is simple, sacred and atmospheric. ”
"yes, it was the most memorable wedding I've ever attended, and it was a great job."
As soon as Vice Governor Kang's words fell, the flowers were thrown, and I don't know who received them. The bride and groom turned around and bowed to everyone, and then they were stuffed into the wedding car by the groomsmen and bridesmaids, dragged a bunch of colorful cans, and jingled away.
The bride and groom are not there, let alone toast one table at a time, in fact, only a few barrels of draft beer are prepared for the wedding banquet, and there is no liquor at all. The food is just as simple, except for a bunch of cakes and desserts with a variety of sausages, fried bacon and four stews.
However, the same food depends on who eats it, Governor Yu and other provincial leaders say that it is not shabby, they eat it with relish, and everyone follows and says yes. (To be continued.) )
