Chapter 175: Two Weddings
After dealing with two cases in succession, the ending was quite satisfactory, and Xu Dong was more confident in the next action.
But reality gave him a heavy punch.
When I found Building 17, I made a big discovery this time, in a house of less than 80 square meters, there were as many as 16 women from the Southern Dynasty who "closed the gate".
According to the janitor's confession, these people had just been transferred from Qindao a few days ago, and they would be transported to the capital city of Quancheng tomorrow.
What is embarrassing is that these women of the Southern Dynasty were all sold voluntarily, so there was only one old man who guarded the door, and he was not alert at all, and he was probably helping to deliver food.
"rescued" this group of illegal immigrants, Xu Dong was highly praised by the director of the discipline bureau, but he always felt uncomfortable in his heart.
In the next two days, he almost coped with things, anyway, the results were enough, and an excellent review was definitely indispensable.
However, it was all like this, but he still caught several cases of co-ordination, and several of the parties involved were all young women of the Southern Dynasty without exception.
The most outrageous thing is that there is actually a high school student who hid from his parents and found a "girlfriend" of the Southern Dynasty who was ten years older than him.
In this regard, Xu Dong can only sigh:
The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and one generation is stronger than the next.
……
The day before the big Qing Raid, Xu Dong received two wedding invitations at the same time, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.
Nowadays, it is not as good as before, because of the limited conditions, everything is simple to get married or something, and you don't need to prepare for long.
Many people get a marriage certificate in the morning, hold a wedding in the afternoon, and continue to work the next day.
"Auntie, what do you think I'll give you a gift?" Before leaving, Xu Dong suffered from difficulty in choosing.
"Tobacco and alcohol are too expensive, you should be like us, send a pound of sweet potatoes, the two of them should be short of food." Aunt Zhang suggested.
At the beginning of the year, a regulation was introduced that for those who did not become naturalized, they would usually only have 65 percent of the normal standard ration after marriage.
But then, every month it increased by three-thousandths of a share, and it lasted for one hundred and five months, or almost nine years.
In general, external partners can apply for naturalization after seven years of marriage, which is more than enough for nine years.
"It's okay, but I don't have sweet potatoes, so I'll give a pound of corn flour!" Xu Dong agreed.
Aunt Zhang smiled: "It's okay to send corn flour, it's just a little conspicuous." ”
Grains like rice, flour and corn flour, which are easy to store, are generally the bottom of the family and are not easily taken out.
"It's okay, I won't be able to stay long anyway, whoever wants to say it, just say it!"
At ten o'clock in the morning, Xu Dong followed Aunt Zhang to Lin Fang's house, the bride wore a red cheongsam, the groom was in a suit, and the couple were standing at the door to greet the guests.
Xu Dong hurriedly sent a small bag of corn flour, and then said: "Happy newlywed, I wish you all eternal marriage, a hundred years of good together, and grow old together!" ”
"Thank you!" The groom is still as handsome as ever.
"Thank you, Officer Xu." Lin Fang specially painted heavy makeup today, and the whole person looked a lot younger.
Mother Lin grabbed Xu Dong:
"Officer Xu, you are the great benefactor of our family Lin Fang, hurry up and invite inside."
Aunt Zhang helped Lin Fang and said, "You are pregnant, why are you still coming out, hurry back to the house to rest." ”
"Auntie, today is my big day, I'm happy, just let me stand for a while!" Lin Fang refused with a smile.
"Then be careful yourself, if there is something uncomfortable, don't be reckless."
Lin Fang nodded: "I know, I won't joke about the child in my belly, auntie, you guys hurry in!" ”
Entering the house, it was already full of people.
Seeing Xu Dong come in, everyone ran over to say hello, and the investigation action in the past two days has solved a lot of potential safety hazards for the community, and everyone is very grateful.
At about half past ten, the wedding officially began.
"Worship heaven and earth!"
"Second worship high hall!"
"Husband and wife!"
After the couple finished worshipping, the wedding was over.
There was no banquet next, but before leaving, the host family gave each family a billiard-sized rice ball, which was considered a return gift.
In order to get a little joy, Xu Dong tasted a bite of the rice ball, and there was actually a filling in it, which was pickles and shredded radish, not to mention that it was quite delicious, and he ate it in three bites.
"Xiao Xu, Auntie, will you give this too?"
Xu Dong took out another rice ball from his pocket: "Auntie, I have another one!" ”
In order to thank him, they specially gave him an extra rice ball.
"Your corn flour is not a loss." Aunt Zhang said with a smile.
"Haha, I think it's earned."
For lunch, Aunt Zhang not only cooked a pot of rice, but also made several dishes, of course, there are shrimp in each dish, which is a rare luxury.
Uncle Zhang came back from work, looked at the table full of food and said in surprise: "Is there anything good today, why is it so rich?" ”
"Lao Lin's family held a wedding in the morning, and Lao Zheng's family in the afternoon, I am happy for the two of them." Aunt Zhang looked pleased.
Uncle Zhang's face was a little unnatural, and he wanted to say something, but it all turned into a sigh.
"Uncle, shall we have two drinks at noon?" Xu Dong hurriedly forked.
"Okay, I'll go get the wine."
A meal made Xu Dong eat ice and fire, on the one hand, Aunt Zhang's joy, and on the other hand, Uncle Zhang's wine to drip his sorrows, this sorrow can drip water.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Zheng Dong's wedding began, Xu Dong did not favor one over the other, and this time he also sent a pound of corn flour.
The conditions of Zheng Dong's family are slightly inferior to Lin Fang's, and the wedding is even simpler.
The groom was dressed in a half-worn suit, and the bride was dressed in a traditional Nisang costume, and Zheng's mother was obviously very welcoming to Xu Dong's arrival.
After three prostrations, the wedding ended.
The old Zheng family gave a return gift of sweet potato cakes, one pack per household, with a total of four pieces.
In addition, the bride also prepared a special gift for Xu Dong.
"Xu Sang, this is me... Mother... Give it to me with your own hands... Make amulets that hope... You can take it. ”
Xu Dong solemnly took it, the amulet was only the size of an eraser, and it was packed in a small red bag, and there was the word "Yushou" in the middle of the bag.
Zheng Dong explained on the side: "This amulet was opened by my mother-in-law who went to Sanfeng Shrine in Saiyu Prefecture to open it, and it is said to be very effective in improving luck. ”
"Thank you, I love it." After Xu Dong finished speaking, he hung the talisman around his neck on the spot to show his attention.
Leaving Lao Zheng's house, Xu Dong did not go back with Aunt Zhang, but went to the bureau, and tomorrow the big investigation will be officially debuted, and there will be a meeting in the bureau at half past five.
When I came to the bureau, everyone else came early this time, and two of my male colleagues still had injuries on their faces, and at a glance, I knew that they must have encountered a lot of trouble in the past two days.
After all, he is a young man who has just come out of society, loves to behave, has momentum, and is much more responsible than Xu Dong, an old fritter in the workplace.
Xu Dong learned from Xiaozhang that several nearby communities had made a bit of a fuss in the past two days, and in the end, it was the director of the discipline inspection bureau who came forward to suppress the matter.
