Chapter 87: Birthday Celebration
234. Birthday celebrations and marriages
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhao Zhibao accelerated the preparation of his mother's birthday celebration and the preparation for his daughter's wedding.
Because Qian Doudou's birthday is September 28, not a holiday, when notifying the guests of office workers, it is explained that it is the date insisted by the old lady, and I hope everyone will take two days off. In fact, the 27th is a Sunday, the 28th, the 29th, and the 30th are the National Day, and it is difficult for office workers to ask for leave. But Zhao Zhibao opened his mouth, this face cannot be refuted, even if it is expelled!
On the evening of September 26, Qian Long's family came. Because Qian Long knew that Zhao Zhibao needed helpers, he was the best cadre, Zhao Zhibao still asked him to be the host, and Qian Duoduo was responsible for setting off firecrackers.
Guests from other places basically arrived on the morning of the 27th, and local guests arrived on the afternoon of the 27th. Because it is a dinner in the evening, it is called "Nuanshou". sang the show in the evening, one of the protagonists was Zhao Dandan and his wife, and they had to rush to dinner on the 27th!
The movement is slightly bigger are three jeeps: the first: Pan Rengui, Xia Hehua, Pan Chunxia, Zhao Chunfeng (also driver);
the second: Peng Debiao and his wife, Peng Baolian, Zhao Chunxi (and driver); The third car: Qiu Changfu and his wife, Song Xiaoling's mother and son and Qiu Zhimin (and driver). Three to five minutes after they arrived, firecrackers and gongs and drums began to be set off, and the event began!
Qian Long said: "Relatives and friends! Now I announce: Mrs. Qian Doudou's 70th birthday, Ms. Zhao Dandan and Mr. Song Gaoming's wedding celebration, start now! Three minutes of music and cannons!
Three minutes later, Qian Long said: "The event schedule is like this: the seats will start at 4:18, and the concert will start at 7:18 in the evening. Tonight's event is called 'Warm Birthday'. Tomorrow morning from 7:30 to 9 a.m. for breakfast, 9:18 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. for the concert, and 2:18 p.m. 3:18 for the wedding celebration, 4:18 for the dinner, 7:18 for the concert, until the end of 9:30, without hearing each other clearly, please come to the "Xiangyang Restaurant" to eat! ”
This time, a total of 13 tables were opened. First, the little ones grow up and occupy a place; Second, the number of people in the band has been increased, from 8 people to 12 people now, and a piece of music is played for each dish, and the band is busy, but the good thing is that it is slow. Eat at least 16 dishes in a meal, and the time is long enough, until 6:30.
The host of the concert in the evening ordered "Five Women's Birthday", due to the increase in people, how many parts can be played so-so? I ordered "Double Farewell Kiln" and "Farewell My Concubine" again, and there are not many people who really know how to play, anyway, it is lively, and it didn't end until more than 9:20, Pan Rengui and his wife, Peng Debiao (and driver) and his wife, or went back.
September 28 is the first day of the celebration. In the morning, cakes, fritters, soy milk, steamed buns, siu mai, etc., are served by the kitchen of the medical center (purchased reheating).
At 9:18, the concert started, and the main programs included folk songs, music, and love songs.
2:18 p.m. Birthday greetings begin. The whole process is basically the same as Zhao Yuanqing's 70th birthday, so I won't write it!
In the end, Qian Long said: "This is the end of the birthday greeting!" Shoot the cannons! ”
After about 7 minutes, at 3:18, Qian Long announced: "The second wedding ceremony begins, and the cannon is played!"
After a few more minutes, Qian Long said: "Please invite the groom Song Gaoming and the bride Zhao Dandan to the court!" Then he said: "First, worship heaven and earth, and kneel - get up!" Two kneels - get up! Kneel three times - get up! Shoot the cannons! Then he said, "Please sit down with both parents!" I saw Zhao Zhibao, Qiu Lianhua, and Song Qingzhen take a seat, and Qiu Lianhua sat next to him, Zhao Zhibao let her go to the middle, and he sat on both sides with Song Qingzhen, Qian Long said: "Second, worship the high hall, kneel - get up!" Two kneels - get up! Kneel three times - get up! Shoot the cannons! Then he said, "Third, husband and wife bow to each other, one bow, two bows, three bows!" Licheng! Cannonball"
Qian Long said: "Wash your hands when you should wash your hands, it should be convenient to go to the convenience, there are still ten minutes before the meal time, and the first dish will be served on time at 4:18, and you can go to the meal!"
The team rushed to "Xiangyang Restaurant" to find a table, find a position, and combine freely, but it was not much different from last night.
At 4:18 the music sounded, the firecrackers began to go off, and the first course was served on time. The dinner begins! How to eat, how to drink, how to toast, etc. Anyway, this is a dinner today, I didn't eat well in the morning, and now I'm so hungry, I'm full in the morning, and I'm hungry now.
The concert started on time at 7:18, and tonight's program includes "Yutang Spring" - (the trial of the three divisions, the play of Tsing Yi), "Da Dengdian", etc., which will not end until 9:40!
People like Pan Rengui came at 2:00 p.m., or went back in the evening. But Zhao Chunfeng and his wife, Zhao Chunxi and his wife did not go back.
It is both a birthday celebration and a wedding event, and the curtain has finally come down!
