The door of the canteen was decorated with a banner of 100 years of harmony, hung with big red flowers, the word "happiness" was pasted on the window, and there were ribbons on the ceiling, and ten tables were placed inside, on which were placed melon seeds, candy and cigarettes that were opened to the plate.
"Field Manager Li has a very strong work ability." He Jingyu took Shen Mengxi's hand and looked around.
In the courtyard outside the cafeteria, there are about 20 tables, ranging in size and shape, all borrowed from various families, and there are various stools and chairs.
Shen Mengxi looked at the big stove, there were stacks of various plates, He Jingyu picked up a plate, and a piece of plaster was glued to the bottom of the back, on which "Liu Yuzhu" was written with a ballpoint pen, and another one was written, "Wang Dapeng". Shen Mengxi moved a square stool, turned it over, and showed it to He Jingyu, with "Li Hongxian" written at the bottom, and He Jingyu smiled and recorded them one by one.
The ceremony began, and the two newlyweds stood in front of the cafeteria with joy.
The bridegroom is wearing a slightly fat dark blue suit, a red tie on a hot day, and constantly wiping sweat, the bride is wearing a red dress, red high heels, her hair is curly, with pink beads, her face is white, her eyelids are painted with dark eye shadow, and her lips are red and delicate.
County Magistrate Huang and Director Lu accompanied Qi Huici to sit at the front table, Qi Youfang and Hu Lichun also sat upright, and Qi Youde and Qi Huici were also present. Changchang Li was not idle at all, his feet did not touch the ground, and he drove away the naughty boys who were running around, and he seemed to be busier than his own daughter-in-law.
On the other side, the maiden guests also sat at two tables to watch the newlyweds. The empty table at the back was also full of guests waiting for the opening of the table, dragging their families, knocking melon seeds, smoking cigarettes, and a group of people without seats, standing on the periphery to watch, commenting on the bride's dress.
The master of ceremonies is Gao Accountant, thirty-five or sixteen years old, although the county magistrate is sitting below, he is not stunned, and uses his Northeast dialect with a Jiangsu-Zhejiang accent to make people laugh.
"Leaders, relatives and friends, employees and fellow villagers! I am honored to be able to officiate the wedding for two couples! This is the most well-matched couple I have ever seen in my life! ”
As soon as the words fell, someone in the crowd said: "I also said the same thing to the host of the old Wang family last time." ”
The crowd laughed, and Qi Huici laughed too.
Accountant Gao was not annoyed, and continued: "Today, the groom Qi Baohua and the bride Liu Bo have come together in this spring breeze of reform and in this excellent situation, for the common revolutionary goal and life goal! From today onwards, they are husband and wife! Please applaud and send your best wishes to the two newcomers! ”
"As you know, many leaders came today, which is the honor of the Qi family and the honor of our Qingfeng Forest Farm! I won't say much, just ask the groom how you kid managed to get such a good and beautiful bride! ”
The bride bowed her head shyly, Qi Baohua raised her hand, and said loudly: "The first time we met, I fell in love with her!" ”
Everyone applauded, Liu Bo turned around and slapped Qi Baohua in annoyance.
"There's no way, I'm just good to her! Just be nice to her! Qi Baohua continued to shout while taking Liu Bo's hand, and people laughed even harder.
Hu Lichun muttered vigorously, "This bear child, everything is nonsense!" ”
"Look at how happy the little couple is so loving and loving! But Uncle Gao has to warn you that you still have to conscientiously implement the basic national policy and do a good job in family planning! ”
Another burst of laughter.
"What is this? This red book is a marriage certificate, and below, we invite our respected county magistrate Huang to witness the marriage for the newlyweds! ”
Huang County Magistrate came to the stage to bless, spoke very level, just a few sentences, not only contained blessings, but also cared about the work and life of the forest farm workers, opened the marriage certificate, read: "Qi Baohua, November 4, 1963, Liu Bo, December 5, 1964, voluntarily married, after review, in line with the provisions of the Marriage Law of the People's Republic of China on marriage, issued this certificate!" The People's Government of Jiayang County, Heilongjiang Province! ”
"Good!" Chang Li took the lead in applauding and applauding vigorously.
Subsequently, Accountant Gao knew that Qi Huici and Qi Youfang and his wife also stood up.
"Hello comrades, hello folks! I am very happy to have a thousand words here, on behalf of Lao He, on behalf of my whole family, I would like to thank the leading comrades of the county party committee, as well as the leading comrades of the forest farm, I have always cared for and loved my younger brother's family for many reasons, so that I rarely return to this land, but every time I have a deep memory, every time I am moved, my nephew Qi Baohua, is a very good young man, he loves to work Liu Bo is a good girl, and will be a good daughter-in-law and a good mother in the future, I am grateful for my younger brothers and sisters for raising such a good girl! Finally, I wish Qi Huici "Qi Huici slept enough yesterday, and today she is full of energy, standing in front of people, and talking for more than ten minutes." It seems that from the senior accountant to the county magistrate Huang, they are all men and children, and they all know that time should be reserved for the last person to speak.
Shen Mengxi couldn't help laughing, He Jingyu asked her, "Little girl, what are you laughing at?" ”
Shen Mengxi shook his head and continued to laugh.
He Jingyu sighed and laughed along, his chest bulging one by one. Shen Mengxi raised his right hand and signaled to He Jingyu, He Jingyu also raised his hand, Shen Mengxi jumped up, and the two of them high-fived gently.
They weren't seated, they were always on call. Of their generation, except for a few who accompanied their mother's guests, they all followed the chores.
Qi Baoping and Qi Baohua's buddies are ready to pass food and pour water at any time. He Jingyu was mainly responsible for video, Shen Mengxi was in charge of photography, and Hu Lichun came to her again and told her to hold the camera in her hand.
Finally, I heard the summary speech of Accountant Gao and announced the opening of the meeting.
All the leaders and maiden guests were invited to sit in the big canteen, and the workers and villagers who were standing just now were also arranged to eat in the canteen one after another, or sat at the table outside, thirty tables inside and outside, good guys, almost the entire forest farm poured out.
The banquet prepared by the Qi family is of a very high standard, with twelve dishes per table, all of which are hard dishes, including meat, fish and chicken, as well as braised meat and sausages specially bought from the county. On the main table, there are two bottles of Moutai, and the other tables are also bottled wine, and the cigarette is the red double happiness of the filter.
The bride's three uncles were tearing up at the moment, and refused to sit at the main table anyway.
Qi Huici beckoned and said, "My mother and uncle, the three of you should be sitting at the main table." ”
"No, no, no, let's just sit at that table."
"Let you sit down, we are all here to accompany you today, sit down, I can still eat you!" County Magistrate Huang said with a smile.
The three uncles didn't even dare to say anything, so they sat down crampedly, dipped on the edge of the chair, and sat still.
Hu Lichun is a little uncomfortable, the identity of the guest who accompanied her mother today is high, and the guest is uncomfortable, don't misunderstand that the Qi family deliberately presses them, but it's not good.
"Health care! Come! Pour wine for your uncles! Although Qi Huici is a bureaucrat, he also understands this person's sophistication, and shouted for Qi Health Care to come over, and his posture was very low between his words, "Uncle in-law, my nephew, is also on the battlefield, and I don't have to say anything about my political quality and physical fitness, is it the county magistrate Huang?" It's just that the generation is a little younger, let him sit among you, and he will definitely accompany you! Let's all be at ease! “
"Yes, yes, there is no leader today, we are all here to drink!" County Magistrate Huang said.
"Hey, good! All three uncles stood up.
Qi Jian hurriedly said, "Uncle, sit down!" ”
Hu Lichun breathed a sigh of relief, and carefully selected a piece of meat on the face of the fish for the eldest sister, "Sister, you eat it while it's hot." ”
