Chapter 218: The Wedding
Chen Ming looked at Zheng Yuanhai's constipation-like expression, and suddenly felt the sun shining.
It seems that human happiness is based on the suffering of others.
"Okay, okay, I know that your North Sea Fleet is arrogant."
Think about the ship you are a baby, Chen Ming was on it three years ago. Zheng Yuanhai suddenly felt that he was green, and wisely chose to change the topic.
"By the way, this time Nan Kejiang and my sister Xiuzhu's wedding was held together. What do you think? I've been to the north for three years, and I don't even talk about a girlfriend. Otherwise, let's do it together. ”
"These years have been either at the shipyard or running around on the road. You don't know the shipyard, it's a monk's temple. Where do I find a girlfriend? ”
Chen Ming was quite helpless when he heard Zheng Yuanhai's words. At the beginning, I didn't want to fall in love, but now I'm thirty years old, and I'll be really old if I don't fall in love again. But now I don't have a female goal around me.
Is it really the law of true fragrance, go on a blind date?
Thinking of the flag he once set, Chen Ming had a headache.
"Well, it can't be helped. But this is also the creation of your kid, the aircraft carrier is the number one project of our navy, you can join it, and now you are still serving on it, and the future is limitless. It's okay to delay for a few years, but now we have to hurry. ”
Zheng Yuanhai's words carried a lot of envy, but more of them were sincere concern.
"Our fleet seems to be preparing for a military-civilian friendship recently, which is a bit similar to the barracks open day. But there is a difference, that is, the local civil affairs department arranges for single men and women from enterprises and institutions to come to the barracks, and then we send the same number of single cadres of school age to receive them, and they are blind dates in disguise. ”
"Forget it, I'm not from the Southeast Fleet now, and it's not good to trouble them. When I get back, I'll see if there's such an opportunity on the North Sea Fleet's side. ”
After Chen Ming heard Zheng Yuanhai's words, he shook his head and refused with a smile.
After Zheng Yuanhai heard Chen Ming's words, he didn't want to say anything more. Then we talked about something else.
The car quickly drove into the military hospital of the Dongjiang base, and Chen Ming followed Zheng Yuanhai into their home. When Zheng's mother saw Chen Ming, she looked back and forth for a long time, and then she connected the chic young man in civilian clothes in front of her with the little dot who was behind Zheng Yuanhai in the depths of her memory.
"Eh, Chen Ming. You call your mom and ask her to come along. Your mom and I haven't seen each other in over 20 years. ”
Chen Ming was a little helpless when he heard Zheng's mother's words. When he knew Zheng Yuanhai's wedding date, Chen Ming called Tan Qiuwen, but the latter was unwilling to step into the Dongjiang base.
But now that people are kind enough to invite you, it seems too blunt to refuse directly.
"Mom, people probably have something to do. Besides, it's okay if Chen Ming can come, he is now working on the only aircraft carrier in our navy, and he must be very busy in normal times. ”
Zheng Yuanhai remembers his father's events back then. At this time, he naturally knew the reason why Chen's mother was reluctant to come, and when she heard her mother's words, she hurriedly came out to play a round.
Mother Zheng looked at the embarrassed smile on Mother Chen's face, and had to sigh regretfully.
Preparing for a wedding is not difficult, but it is extremely tedious. Especially now that this brother and sister are married at the same time. Chen Ming has also been helping out at Zheng Yuanhai's house during this time.
In the evening, when I went back to Lu Huai's house, I talked to Uncle Lu about the progress of the wedding preparations, and slept in a bed. What touched Chen Ming was that even though his biological daughter had been found now, Lu Huaicheng still reserved a room for himself at home.
Contact the wedding company to determine the dishes for the wedding banquet, purchase melons and fruit snacks, etc. This kind of delaying trivial thing makes both couples happy.
With the passage of time, Zheng Yuanhai's home has become more and more lively. In the small resettlement house, in addition to Zheng Yuanhai's family, Mei Xing'er's adoptive father and Nan Kejiang's parents are here. Four old people, plus four young people. It must not be possible to stay at night, and someone stays in a hotel.
But during the day, it's bustling. This kind of faint joy and peace is something Chen Ming has never felt. It seems that for a moment, I was a little envious and a little longing.
In the future, before I get married, I should be like this.
The wedding day finally arrived, and the location was chosen outside the gate of the Dongjiang base, Zheng Xiuzhu's small bar. This place is not only convenient for the guests attending the wedding banquet. The Dongjiang base is also the place where these two couples get married.
The process of the wedding seems simple, even a little plain. In addition to the relatives and friends of several people, most of the guests attending the banquet were colleagues and comrades-in-arms of the Dongjiang base.
The two couples were naturally dressed in snow-white officer uniforms with bright yellow ribbons on their chests. The two brides were also dressed in white wedding dresses.
On such days, everyone has a tacit understanding and chooses to wear navy blue clothes. The wedding was not as grand as it was in the hotel, but it was very gracious.
Two couples stand in the middle of the bar, and the rest of the people gather in a circle around them. At the top of the house sat the father and mother of the newlyweds, and they received the salutations of the newlyweds.
Mei Xing'er's adoptive father was a little unaccustomed to this kind of scene and wanted to escape, but was pulled by Lu Huaicheng. Seeing that the daughter she raised will officially marry a woman from today, the corners of Mei Degui's eyes are unconsciously moist.
After worshipping his parents, the ceremony of this wedding is completed. There are no bells and whistles in the middle, I don't know if they have this interest, but time definitely doesn't allow it.
Most of the guests are active military personnel, and there is training and work in the afternoon. Not only did there be no marriage, but even many of the wine on the table was not touched.
Zheng Yuanhai got a marriage leave, and it was inevitable to toast from table to table, and Chen Ming, as the best man, naturally had to help block the wine. Seeing that many people were embarrassed to raise their drinks to drink with them, they all had to pat each other's shoulders and show that it didn't matter, both he and Zheng Yuanhai could understand.
In this way, there is no superior effect of alcohol. The expected drinking did not happen, and after a round of wine from table to table, Chen Ming could even eat and drink quite soberly.
Chen Ming had just wrung up a big crab and was about to peel it when he suddenly saw a cadre hurriedly walking in outside the door, leaning over to Nan Kejiang and Zheng Yuanhai to say something in their ears.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing the hurried pace of the comer, and Nan Kejiang's expression changed when he heard it. Chen Ming couldn't care about the crab in his hand, so he hurriedly leaned in and asked.
"Something happened to the 086 submarine and it got entangled underwater."
Zheng Yuanhai saw Chen Ming coming, and he didn't hide, Chen Ming was quite experienced when it came to the fact that the underwater submarine was entangled. When he saw the solemn but somewhat confused expression on Chen Ming's face, Zheng Yuanhai remembered to explain.
"086 is a boat from Nankejiang."
"Kejiang, do you need help?"
