Chapter 469 Double Happiness

The simultaneous weddings of the two Sheng brothers are quite a grand occasion, and there will certainly be many relatives and friends coming to offer their congratulations.

On the morning of the 14th, Sheng Lianjie and his wife, along with their brothers Sheng Xizheng, Sheng Xiyong, Sheng Xiwen, and Sheng Xiwu, arrived in their hometown.

The three brothers, Zhang Shouzhi, Zhang Shoushan, and Zhang Shouguo, arrived with their wives at noon on the 14th.

Sheng Xiping's elder cousin, Sheng Xiyun, and Sheng Xiping's old friend, Hou Yashuang, also came with their sons.

Even Mr. Peng, whom I had worked with before, came from afar.

Originally, Sheng Xiping hadn't planned to inform his business associates about his younger brother's wedding.

But somehow, many people found out the news and came from far away to offer their congratulations.

Since we welcome guests, we should certainly treat them well.

The Chen Ruiqing family, Wang Jiachuan and his wife, and Su Mingchang and his son Su Jingsheng also arrived early, and the reunion of old friends was once again lively.

On the 14th, the Sheng family did nothing but receive and settle the guests who came to offer their congratulations, keeping the three Sheng brothers, Sheng Xiping and Sheng Xiping, extremely busy.

At 7:00 a.m. on June 15th, the wedding procession was already lined up in front of the Sheng family's house.

When other families get married, it's considered good if the wedding procession uses bicycles, but the Sheng family's wedding procession consisted entirely of cars.

Sheng Xiping's car was always at home, so it served as the lead car. Chen Ruiqing, Wang Jiachuan, Su Mingchang, and several other leaders from various units all drove over.

With the addition of several vehicles from the Songjianghe Forestry Bureau, a wedding procession of more than ten vehicles was formed.

Four sedans led the way, followed by a line of jeeps. Each jeep had a large red flower hanging in front of it, and red ribbons tied to the side mirrors.

This kind of setup is hard to find even in the county, let alone in Songjianghe.

"Boss, isn't this a bit too flashy? My god, just looking at this row of cars makes me dizzy."

While everyone was busy decorating the wedding cars, Zhang Shuzhen quietly pulled Sheng Xiping aside and asked in a low voice.

"Mom, it's not that I'm being boastful, but you should take a look at what the in-laws of my second and third sons do."

"If we make it look too rustic, how will our second and third children look good?" Sheng Xiping sighed and gently comforted his mother.

"This is because the Wu family hasn't made a big fuss about it. Otherwise, even the provincial level would have been alerted, and the situation would have been quite something."

Neither the Wu family nor the Feng family are ordinary families.

Needless to say, the Wu family was well-known. As for the Feng family, it was only later that we learned that Feng Shuyan's maternal grandfather's family also had deep roots in Harbin and even Heilongjiang Province.

Regarding the wedding, both the Wu and Feng families were considerate of the Sheng family and valued tradition, so they chose to hold the wedding here.

After the wedding is over here, they will go back to their hometown to hold a homecoming ceremony.

Otherwise, if they insist on holding the wedding in both the capital and Harbin, what can the Sheng family say?

It was precisely because of this that Sheng Xiping said the wedding couldn't be held in the forest farm and had to be moved to Songjianghe.

At least this is in town, and the Forestry Bureau Hotel has decent facilities, which is a good thing for the woman.

Hearing this, Zhang Shuzhen could only sigh, "That's true. With our family's circumstances, being able to marry into the Wu and Feng families is far too much of a challenge."

Okay, forget I said anything. Do whatever you want. Later, tally up all the expenses; you can't be the one to pay for this.

Sheng Xiping smiled but didn't respond to his mother's comment.

Just then, Chen Ruiqing called him, and Sheng Xiping hurried over to discuss matters with Chen Ruiqing, Zhao Guangning, and others.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the Sheng family's wedding party got into the car and set off to pick up the bride at the Forestry Bureau Hotel.

According to old custom, the route to pick up the bride and the return trip cannot be the same; one cannot backtrack.

Therefore, the wedding procession started from the Sheng family home, headed east, then north, then west, and circled around to the Forestry Bureau Hotel to pick up the bride.

After picking up his wife, he would circle back from the south, which would essentially mean going around the Songjianghe Forestry Bureau.

This long line of carts, all adorned with red flowers and red silk, and at this hour in the morning, anyone with eyes could tell at a glance that this was a wedding procession to fetch the bride.

"Holy crap, whose wedding is this? Using cars and jeeps to pick up the bride? Even the town secretary's son's wedding wouldn't be this extravagant!"

Passersby gathered in twos and threes, pointing and commenting on the convoy in surprise.

"You're overthinking it. Let alone the town party secretary's son, even the county party secretary's son wouldn't dare to put on such a show for his wedding," someone chimed in.

"Damn, whose family is this? When did Songjiang River produce such a talented person?"

"I didn't know, I've never heard anyone say that before, it's really amazing." Passersby exclaimed in admiration.

The people in the wedding procession naturally couldn't hear any of this. The procession sped along and arrived at the Songlin Hotel, where they stopped one by one in the hotel courtyard.

Two long strings of firecrackers were set off early in front of the VIP building on the north side. As soon as the motorcade drove into the courtyard, the firecrackers were lit.

Amidst the booming of firecrackers, Sheng Xi'an and Sheng Xikang, dressed in sharp suits, each carrying a bouquet of plastic red roses, stepped out of the two cars in front.

The wedding party members also got out of the car one after another.

The four of them, Sheng Xinhua, Sheng Xinyu, Sheng Xinyue, and Sheng Xinqi, are the boys and girls who are pressing down on the car today.

Sheng Yunfang and Sheng Yunfei each held six jin and six liang of meat from a mother's womb. Sheng Lianjie's wife, Zhao Yuefen, and Zhang Shouzhi's wife, Zhu Chunhong, carried a treasure basin wrapped in red cloth.

The treasure bowl was actually a red enamel basin filled with scallions, vermicelli, sesame seeds, two ribbons (one red and one white), and a handful of coins, all tied together with red string.

Since the bride was leaving the hotel, it was best not to make too much of a fuss. The young men from the Wu and Feng families only symbolically stopped the bride in front of the VIP building, smiling and asking for red envelopes.
