Chapter 238: A Grand Wedding
After such a fuss. Duan Zetao and the others were not in the mood to go shopping anymore, so they hurriedly said goodbye to Xu Huaishan, Liu Chunhua and others, and returned to Duan Zetao's hometown.
Duan Zetao's hometown has also undergone great changes in recent years, the low mud houses in the past are gone, and now they are all beautiful brick buildings, and the outer walls are also pasted with tiles, and the mud road section into the village Zetao donated a sum of money to build a spacious and clean cement road, originally the village people said that they would set up a monument at the intersection and named the road "Zetao Road", Duan Zetao resolutely disagreed, and he named it "Hope Road" after the end, which means that this is the hope road to make a fortune.
Now Duan Zetao has become the pride of the whole village, and the people in the village are all holding their heads high when they go out, and they open their mouths and close their mouths, "Secretary Duan is the one who came out of our village!" People from other villages also gave a little bit of face when they saw it.
As soon as Duan Zetao's car entered the village, there were many villagers along the way to see and say hello, Duan Zetao had to let Hu Tielong slow down the car, and greeted the villagers all the way.
After arriving home, her mother Zhang Guihua was overjoyed, holding Li Mei's hand and not letting go, her eyes kept glancing at her slightly pregnant lower abdomen, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were stretched, blooming into two beautiful chrysanthemums, Duan Zetao told Zhang Guihua about the wedding, Zhang Guihua was so excited that she shed tears, choked up: "It's good to get married, if you get married, you really start a family, if your father is still here, I don't know what to be happy to see such a beautiful daughter-in-law......", said and hurriedly looked for incense candles and paper money, said that he wanted to incense Duan Zetao's father and tell him the good news.
After a while, Jiang Xiaoxue also came, she is now a busy person, she is responsible for the operation and management of the entire "utopia" project, and has opened several new projects in Hengzhou and several neighboring prefecture-level cities, but no matter how busy she is, she will take a few days a month to accompany Zhang Guihua. Sister Duan Xiaoyan also came back with Zhang Dali, Zhang Dali now has opened a building materials company, doing business honestly, the family is also very prosperous, and he also bought a car, and his life is very happy.
Jiang Xiaoxue looked very happy to see Li Mei, put something down and took her hand, the two walked to the side and chattered and whispered, giggling from time to time, my sister asked Duan Zetao why he came back empty, Duan Zetao glanced at Jiang Xiaoxue with a complicated expression, and said the purpose of this trip.
Sister Duan Xiaoyan and brother-in-law Zhang Dali were also very happy, Jiang Xiaoxue's eyes flashed a trace of sour and disappointed gaze, turned her head and smiled: "Okay, this thing must be done lively, Sister Mei is the daughter of the secretary of the provincial party committee, Ze Tao is now also a deputy department-level cadre, but she can't lose face, Sister Xiaomei is pregnant, she can't work hard, Ze Tao is a big man, and it's not easy to care about these small things, the preparation for the wedding will be handed over to me, I will talk to Mr. Tong tomorrow, and transfer some people from the company to help ......."
Tan Hong also saw that Jiang Xiaoxue was a little uncomfortable, and interjected: "Xiaoxue, don't rob me of business, I am the chief planner of this wedding......", Jiang Xiaoxue glanced at him and said: "Just your arrogant character, but also the chief planner, you have to be able to plan a daughter-in-law for yourself first to talk about ......", this time he hit Tan Hong's death hole, he touched his bald head and laughed embarrassedly, and everyone was also amused by his funny appearance.
After dinner, the old branch secretary of the village came with several old village cadres, Duan Zetao hurriedly greeted him, took out the cigarette and dispersed, the old branch secretary took the cigarette, and said with a smile: "Xiao Tao, I heard that you are getting married, you are the pride of our whole village, and your marriage is also a great joy in our village, we have discussed it, on the day of the wedding, all of our people in the village will come to help you do this big happy event, and we will have a running water banquet, and the pigs and sheep used for the wedding will be ...... by the village."
Duan Zetao hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Why bother the villagers, I don't accept gifts for this marriage, everyone just bring their mouths to ......."
The old branch secretary turned his face and said angrily: "What, when you become a big official, you forget your book, let me tell you, no matter how big an official you are outside, you have to listen to me in the village, this matter is so decided, you are young and don't understand many customs, I will be the chief steward for you, you can just be the groom......", Duan Zetao reluctantly refused him, and had to nod and agree.
The old people went to bed early, their mother Zhang Guihua went to bed early, their sister and brother-in-law went back to their old house, Tan Hong and Hu Tielong didn't want to be light bulbs and went back to the guest room to rest, Duan Zetao accompanied Jiang Xiaoxue and Li Mei to watch TV in the living room on the second floor, the three of them didn't speak, the atmosphere was a little weird, suddenly Jiang Xiaoxue stood up and walked out of the balcony to breathe, Li Mei pushed Duan Zetao and said softly: "You go to accompany Sister Xiaoxue, she is bitter, I'......ll go to sleep first."
Duan Zetao pushed open the door to the balcony, it was winter at this time, the night wind was very cold, Jiang Xiaoxue clasped her hands in front of her chest, and her petite figure looked very gloomy and lonely in the night, Duan Zetao only felt that his heart twitched suddenly, the root of his nose was a little sour, he took off his coat and walked over, draped it on Jiang Xiaoxue's body, hugged her tightly with his arms from behind, and whispered softly in her ear full of guilt: "Xiaoxue, I owe you too much, I will definitely have a grand wedding with you abroad ......."
Two lines of crystal tears slipped down Jiang Xiaoxue's white and smooth face, and he sighed faintly and said: "Tao, I don't blame you, this is all the arrangement of fate, if it wasn't for the strong opposition of my parents, the two of us might have been together a long time ago......."
Duan Zetao hugged Jiang Xiaoxue tightly, what could he say to this girl who had selflessly sacrificed for himself except to swear to take care of her with his life, suddenly Jiang Xiaoxue turned around suddenly, looked at Duan Zetao with burning eyes and said: "Tao, I will also give birth to a child for you, when you are not by my side, let the child accompany me ......."
That night, Jiang Xiaoxue completely abandoned her past shyness, behaved extremely crazy, and pressed Duan Zetao under her from time to time, galloping wildly like a dexterous white horse, her long black silk hair undulating like waves, Duan Zetao squirted out the essence of life again and again, and the two of them exhausted their physical strength, hugged each other tightly and fell into a deep sleep......
The next day, Tong Debo also rushed over, and he also brought two truckloads of necessary items for the wedding, and even undertook the procurement of all the items. In the next few days, although the preparations for the wedding were taken over by Tan Hong and others, Duan Zetao was not idle, he went to his father's grave to pay respects, told his father's spirit in the sky about his marriage and Li Mei's pregnancy, and went to a distant relative's house to deliver invitations, and so on.
On the day of the wedding, the whole village was a festive atmosphere, from the entrance of the village, the big red arches and colored balls were erected, all the way to Duan Zetao's family's field, every household was lit up, as if their own family was doing a happy event, Tong Debo got hundreds of red tents, lined up, and the people in the village moved out their own table of eight immortals, and put a long flowing water seat.
Jiang Xiaoxue made very detailed arrangements, including special arrangements for vehicle parking. Not only the fathers and villagers of the whole village came, but also a lot of villagers from neighboring villages, there were crowds of people everywhere, and it was very lively, Duan Zetao wore a black suit, which looked more and more upright, and Li Mei was wearing a white long wedding dress, delicate and moving, the two stood together, holding a good pair of beautiful people, so that the guests were amazed.
According to the customs of Duan Zetao's hometown, the old branch secretary specially arranged for an old gentleman with a loud voice to set up a welcome desk at the door, and all the guests with status who congratulated him would shout out loudly, so that the host family would have face.
Duan Zetao's college classmates came a lot, and even the eldest Sun Liansheng, the fourth Jiang Yunchuan, the seventh Zhou Yunbo and others all made a special trip from other places, and everyone was very affectionate when they met. At this time, I heard the old gentleman's loud voice outside: "Xu Huaishan, Secretary of the Xinghua Municipal Party Committee, and Liu Chunhua, Mayor of Xinghua City, congratulate!" ”。
The relationship between Xu Huaishan, Liu Chunhua and Duan Zetao is only average, especially Liu Chunhua fell to Chu Chain when Duan Zetao left, and also left a mustard in the relationship between the two, he came to congratulate and also wanted to repair the relationship with Duan Zetao, Duan Zetao did not notify them of his marriage this time, and he didn't want the two to come too, Duan Zetao hurriedly confessed to his classmates and hurriedly greeted him.
When Liu Chunhua saw Duan Zetao, his face was still a little unbearable, and he arched his hand and said: "Zetao, today is your big day, my little brother has said hello to you, what is there to be sorry for in the past......."
Duan Zetao smiled and waved his hand and said: "Since you are here, you are friends, don't say anything, go upstairs and sit down......", Liu Chunhua was overjoyed, and was about to speak, when he heard another shout outside: "Xingning City Mayor Ji Mo, Xingning Military Division Commander Fang Li Daohe!" ”。
Since Duan Zetao was sent to Western Tibet Province, he has had very little contact with Ji Mo and Fang Li, and he didn't have time to notify him about this marriage, and he didn't know where they got the news and rushed over......
I heard Ji Mo's hearty laughter from afar: "Brother Zetao, you are not interesting enough, you won't notify me of such a big happy event, I still want to be an uninvited guest and come to ...... uninvited", Duan Zetao hurriedly confessed: "Brother Ji Mo, forgive me, I really prepared too hastily, many friends didn't have time to inform me, Brother Ji Mo can come, it's really ...... a dazzling thing."
Fang Li smiled mysteriously at Duan Zetao, and whispered in his ear: "I'm here to fight the front station, there are still distinguished guests coming to ...... in a while", Duan Zetao was stunned for a moment, the mayor and the commander of the military division came to congratulate the world enough, how could there be any mysterious guests coming?
