Chen Bei finally gave in, and took a wedding photo with Ma Chunhua at the Meifang Photo Studio in the center of Beitai, he was wearing a Mao suit, and Ma Chunhua was wearing a Lenin suit, and the two sat side by side, listening to the command of the photographer.

"Closer, closer, gay don't hide, smile a little, be natural, right." With a bang, the camera burst into flames, and the master's head came out from under the black cloth, smiling: "It's done, I'll get the photo the day after tomorrow." ”

Out of the photo studio, Chen Bei didn't pay attention to Ma Chunhua, and walked in front of him, Ma Chunhua followed behind, complacent, and said: "The factory has approved, the National Day will give us a month's leave, whether to go to Beijing or go to the provincial capital, you have an idea." ”

Chen Bei said impatiently: "Whatever." ”

Ma Chunhua said happily: "Then go, I haven't been to Beijing since I'm so old, I've seen *** miles, and I have to go to the provincial capital to meet your family." ”

Chen Bei had already gone away.

"Hey, wait for me." Ma Chunhua chased after her.

The party committee of the machinery company was very enthusiastic about the marriage of Chen Bei and Ma Chunhua, and the Youth League Committee of the Women's Federation of the trade union reached out to help them arrange the wedding room and the wedding scene.

In the thirties, the machinery company built some single-family villas for foreign engineers to live, and later half of these houses were collected by the government, as the family building of senior cadres of the local party committee, and half of it was still used as a cadre building for the machinery company, although Ma Chunhua's level was not high enough, but she was a model worker, a provincial ** representative, Chen Bei was a hero of the uprising, disabled in the line of duty, and could be given special treatment in accordance with relevant policies, and a two-story small building was allocated.

On the day of the wedding, there were a lot of guests, the Chen family came to Xia Xiaoqing and Chen Yan, the Ma family has no relatives, the leadership of the company's party committee is the parent, Yang Shugen heard that Ma Chunhua actually married Chen Bei, and also came from the countryside to congratulate, in addition to a group of guests, is a group of young workers in the ironworks, they made a very unique handicraft with scrap iron and sent it as a gift, won everyone's applause.

The relevant leaders of the prefectural party committee and the regional administration also sent some small gifts, the socialist construction is in its infancy, the material level is poor, the wedding is very simple, the factory canteen has set up 20 tables of flowing water seats to entertain the guests, on the one hand, it is a wedding banquet, on the other hand, it is a national day dinner.

At the wedding, Chen Bei was drunk and unconscious, and everyone smiled and said, "The groom is so happy." ”

Some relatives and friends helped to carry Chen Bei home, Yang Shugen was also among them, he saw that the residence assigned to Chen Bei in the factory turned out to be a small western-style building, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised, Chen Yan went home together, thanked Yang Shugen and others, and sent them candy and cigarettes, sugar is Shanghai milk candy, cigarettes are Chinese cigarettes, all of which are high-end goods that are not usually seen.

The new house is on the second floor, and everyone wants to help put Chen Bei up, but Ma Chunhua said no, grabbed Chen Beikang on his shoulder, and went upstairs on his feet, and everyone was stunned.

The groom was drunk, and the new house couldn't make trouble, so relatives and friends chatted casually and went home.

Yang Shugen came to Director Mai Pingmai's house to chat, he said angrily: "Let's fight the country and shed blood and sweat, some bourgeois remnants, before the liberation of the prestige and blessing, after the liberation still ride on the head of the people, live better than others, eat better than others, and there is still heavenly reason!" ”

Mai Ping said earnestly: "Xiao Yang, don't worry, Chen Zikun is a wall-to-wall grass, a speculator, the party has always been wary of this kind of person, but in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, such a person was needed, and when the time is ripe, this kind of person will not continue to stay in the leadership position." ”

Yang Shugen said: "Director Mai, listening to your conversation is better than reading for ten years, I am suddenly enlightened." ”

Mai Ping said: "If you want to bring down Chen Zikun, the best way is to start with the people around him, aren't you and Chen Bei small, pay attention to his speech and demeanor, and report any *** tendencies immediately." ”

Yang Shugen hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll pay attention to it." ”

……

At night, Chen Bei vomited a mess, the new house was filled with the disgusting smell of vomit, the red satin quilt was dirty, and the floor was dirty.

In the early morning of the next day, the two went downstairs, Ma Chunhua was in good spirits, Chen Bei was still drunk, after eating and drinking, he packed his luggage and went to the provincial capital first.

The family went to the train station, Chen Yan bought a soft seat ticket, there were few empty people in the carriage, and the hard seat carriage was overcrowded, Ma Chunhua asked to know that the soft seat ticket price was much more expensive than the hard seat, but the seat was covered with a layer of sponge and soft cloth.

"The people of the in-laws will really enjoy it." Ma Chunhua thought secretly.

Along the way, Chen Bei didn't say a word to Ma Chunhua.

When the train arrived in the provincial capital, the staff of the Chen family came to pick up the station, and a small American-style car stopped directly on the platform, got off the train and got on the bus, while those passengers with big bags and small luggage crowded towards the exit gate.

"Is this a special car from the provincial government?" Ma Chunhua asked.

The driver helped them carry their luggage and said with a smile: "Yes and no, originally this car was Chairman Chen's private car, which was dedicated to the provincial government after liberation, and the gasoline money was usually paid from the chairman's salary." ”

Ma Chunhua nodded, it seems that her father-in-law is a selfless person.

The car drove to the Fenglin Road residence, and Ma Chunhua was completely shocked by the grandeur of the magnificent building: "My God, even the emperor's palace is nothing more than that." ”

Fenglin Road is a spacious asphalt road, lined with wrought iron street lamps and street trees, a number of western-style buildings are located in the greenery, Chen Mansion is the largest of them, the black iron gate is solemn, although there are no guards at the door, but the momentum alone can calm the ordinary people.

Open the iron gate, there is a very open yard, a swimming pool, a lawn and a tennis court, the car drives all the way to the door, the heavy oak gate opens, and inside is the palatial hall, carpets, crystal chandeliers, European-style sofas and coffee tables, everything is as luxurious and luxurious as in the movie, Ma Chunhua rubbed her eyes and confirmed that she was not dreaming.

All the members of the Chen family were there, welcoming their daughter-in-law Ma Chunhua, Chen Bei introduced them one by one with a straight face, Ma Chunhua found that except for her father-in-law wearing a Mao suit, everyone else in the family was wearing silk and satin, suits and leather shoes, and her hair and shoes were shiny.

However, the attitude of the family is very good, and they are very enthusiastic about Ma Chunhua, Chen Yan said Sister-in-law, I have prepared a few clothes for you, come upstairs with me to try it.

Ma Chunhua thought that she couldn't refute her sister-in-law's face when she first arrived, so she followed Chen Yan upstairs, and when she saw a silk dress on the bed, she immediately shook her head: "I can't wear this." ”

Chen Yan said: "My brother likes this tune." ”

Ma Chunhua gritted her teeth: "Okay, I'll wear it!" ”

After a while, Ma Chunhua came down from upstairs, wearing a light blue silk dress, nylon stockings and high heels on her legs, her figure is actually not bad, she looks heroic in a military uniform and Lenin suit, she doesn't show an advantage in the clothes of this bourgeois lady, her calves are thick, her waist is thick, she doesn't look good at all.

Chen Bei couldn't wait to bury his head in the crotch of his pants and marry such a wife, so that he had no face to see people.

Chen Zikun said: "Okay, let's eat." ”

When the family entered the restaurant, the nanny served the food and drinks, and in order to entertain the daughter-in-law for the first time in a few days, the meal was very sumptuous and a bottle of French red wine was opened.

The tables and chairs in the restaurant are all European-style, the seats are very wide, covered with leather, Ma Chunhua sat on it, kicked her shoes and crossed her legs, everyone looked at each other, and still no one said anything.

Chen Zikun picked up the wine glass: "We will be a family in the future, Chunhua will help Chen Bei more, he is relatively backward in thinking, and he is not active in work, we are beyond the reach of our parents, so it depends on you." ”

Ma Chunhuaxin said that her father-in-law's speaking level was high, and she also raised her glass: "I will definitely try my best to help Chen Bei, and help him in all aspects and every possible way in life and work." ”

Everyone raised their glasses and drank, Ma Chunhua took a sip of red wine and almost spit it out: "What kind of wine is this, it's bitter and sour, it's really hard to drink." ”

Chen Bei put down his chopsticks and said: "This is Bordeaux red wine, it is very valuable, it has been hidden in my cellar for at least twenty years, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand." ”

Ma Chunhua's face was hot, she pushed her wine glass and said, "I'm a countryman, I haven't drunk high-end things, what's wrong, I look down on mud legs?" The clay legs liberated all of China and defeated US imperialism. ”

Yao Yilei hurriedly interjected: "It's my fault, I didn't take into account the taste of spring flowers, come here, change the wine." ”

There were a lot of servants and servants in the Chen Mansion, all of whom were observant masters, and immediately took a bottle of five-dime sparkling wine and small champagne and poured it for the eldest and young grandmothers.

This time Ma Chunhua was very happy: "This wine is so delicious, sweet and breathy." ”

Everyone was speechless.

When eating, Ma Chunhua's chopsticks flew, eating faster than anyone else, the mouth chirped loudly, Chen Bei stopped the chopsticks many times, frowned at him, Ma Chunhua was fine: "You eat too, why don't you eat?" ”

Chen Beiyi threw away his chopsticks: "I'm full." He left the table angrily.

The family doesn't care about this, you must know that the daughter-in-law is pregnant with the descendants of the Chen family in her belly, Yao Yilei and Xia Xiaoqing gave Ma Chunhua vegetables left and right: "Spring flowers, eat more, eat more." ”

Ma Chunhua's cheeks were full of meat, and she muttered, "You eat too." ”

This is Ma Chunhua's first meal in Chen's house, and these moths made a lot of jokes, gobbling it up, and I like to eat bibimbap with vegetable soup, and when I eat, I pick my feet, and the servants secretly tell it as a joke, but Chen Zikun admires this daughter-in-law very much, he said, who is not born a nobleman, I made more jokes in Beijing in my early years than her, and now I dare to look down on me, I think Xiaoma is a very good child.

After staying in the provincial capital for a few days, Chen Bei and Ma Chunhua took a civil airplane to Beijing for a tour.

This is Ma Chunhua's first time on a plane, she was inexplicably excited, shouting, Chen Bei pretended not to know her with a straight face, and then couldn't help but say: "Can you stop a little, what's so strange about this." ”

Ma Chunhua said: "Such a big plane is not rare enough, our country is really powerful, we can build big planes." ”

Chen Beidao: "This is not domestic, this is an American-made C47 transport aircraft, and we used to have a similar type of aircraft at home." ”

Ma Chunhua's eyes widened: "We still have planes at home!" ”

Chen Beidao: "It's not our family, it's my family." ”
