Chapter 75
Zhang Chaoyang doesn't care about his parents' mood or the feelings of other people in the Zhang family.
But his grandfather had already called and asked him to come over, so he couldn't pretend not to know.
The next day, he went to Xu's house again.
"Chaoyang is here. His arm is healed. Have you taken off the splint?"
Xu's mother was working the night shift today, and before she left, Zhang Chaoyang came.
"It's healed now. As long as you don't do strenuous exercise and take care of it for a while, it will be fine.
Auntie, my grandfather called and wanted me to bring Xu Di to his place. I came to discuss it with Xu Di. ”
"I want to go see the old man. Xu Di is in the house. Go find her."
The two have already obtained their marriage certificate, and Xu's mother is not afraid of them being alone, as the wedding will be held soon.
"Xu Di, I'm coming in?"
"Come in, I'm ironing."
Xu Di has already made the shirt and is ironing it.
"Is the dress ready?"
"Well, I'm done. I'll take the curtains and hang them up later. My mom said to take the other small things over on the wedding day."
Xu Di knew that marriage had to have a sense of ceremony, and the bedding, washbasin and other things brought as dowry from her parents' home had to be taken to her husband's home along with the bride-receiving party on the same day.
Zhang Chaoyang said that his grandfather wanted to go over there, and Xu Di had no objection because they had been to her grandfather's house before.
"When are you going?"
"I'll go in a bit. Hang up the curtains first, then go."
Grandpa Zhang usually goes to the office in the morning and goes home before noon.
The two of them discussed it, and Xu Di also asked Zhang Chaoyang to try on the white shirt so that she could make some changes if any part didn't fit.
"Change here?"
"I'll go out, you change it yourself."
Xu Di saw that Zhang Chaoyang's ears turned red, which made her feel a little embarrassed, so she quickly pushed the door and went out.
Zhang Chaoyang's face felt a little hot, and he quickly took off his coat and shirt, revealing a tank top underneath.
The newly ironed clothes were still a little hot. Zhang Chaoyang buttoned them up, came out and let Xu Di take a look.
"How is it? Is it the right size? Raise your arm and try it. Is it tight?"
"It's good. It's comfortable."
Xu Di walked around Zhang Chaoyang. She had a good figure and held up the shirt.
"Can I change now?"
Zhang Chaoyang felt it was getting hotter and hotter, and he felt like he was going to sweat.
"Okay, change it off and take it back later to wear on your wedding day."
Xu Di held back his laughter. He didn't expect that Comrade Zhang, who was always calm, was actually quite shy.
The two of them took the finished curtains back to the new house, packed them up, and went to the military compound.
I don’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but the old man was the only one at home and no one else was there.
Zhang Chaoyang and Xu Di didn't care either. It was better if they weren't there, so as to avoid awkward conversations.
After having a meal with the old man, the two went back.
Soon, it was the wedding day.
Xu Di was called up before dawn. Her sister-in-law wanted to help her put on makeup, but Xu Di refused.
She had seen the bride's makeup at that time and it was hard to describe.
Xu Di did it herself and braided two braids, crossing them behind her head.
I applied a layer of face cream, put on some powder, lightly drew my eyebrows with an eyebrow pencil, and pursed my lips with lipstick paper, and that was it.
"Don't tell me, Xu Di's makeup is pretty good, not too heavy."
Mrs. Xu looked at the makeup her sister-in-law put on herself and found it was much better than the red-cheek makeup done by others.
The hair is pretty neat too, it would be better if there were two red flowers on it.
Unfortunately, Xu Di doesn't like it.
He was wearing a green military uniform and black leather shoes. He looked quite smart.
Grandma Xu felt both happy and sad when she saw her granddaughter dressed up beautifully.
"Grandma, I'm not married far away, and I'll still go back to see you on my days off."
Xu Di hugged his grandmother, knowing that she was reluctant to leave him.
"Yes, Grandma knows."
"Here he comes, here he comes, my brother-in-law is here..."
Xu Jun and Xu Yong ran in from outside and saw their brother-in-law and his friends coming over on bicycles.
"There are so many bicycles, and each one has a big red flower tied on it."
"My brother-in-law was wearing a military uniform, and there were many other people wearing military uniforms who came with him."
“Crackle…”
As they were talking, firecrackers went off downstairs.
There were sounds of footsteps in the corridor.
"Xu Di, I'm here to take you home."
Zhang Chaoyang's voice came from outside the door. Xu Jun was blocking the door.
"Brother-in-law, open the door, there is a red envelope."
Zhang Chaoyang shouted towards the door. He knew that it must be Xu Jun who brought people to block the door.
"The door is open. There are red envelopes. Big red envelopes!"
Hao Yunlei followed suit and asked the people inside to open the door.
Xu Jun opened the door a crack, took the red envelope, shared it with Xu Yong and the others, and then opened the door.
Zhang Chaoyang looks quite handsome in his military uniform, which really proves the saying: Ok, leave everything to the country.
Xu Di looked at Zhang Chaoyang, her heart beating a little faster and a feeling of shyness surged in her heart.
At Xu's house, Zhang Chaoyang changed his mind, and the two said goodbye to their parents and went to the groom's house.
Xu Di sat on the back seat of Zhang Chaoyang's bicycle. There were more than ten other people who came with him, some carrying luggage and some carrying people.
A team of bicycles rode towards the government compound in a mighty procession.
Downstairs at Grandma Qian's house, Aunt Wang was giving orders, saying that firecrackers would be set off when the bride came back.
Upstairs, Zhang Chaoyang's parents, his eldest brother and his family of three, and his younger sister are all there.
Grandpa Zhang also came, and so did several of my cousins. If they hadn’t come, grandpa would have scolded us.
Grandma Qian was wearing new clothes and looked very happy. It was great that Chaoyang got married.
Because it wasn’t a big deal, Grandma Qian only notified a few close friends and didn’t notify anyone else.
Zhang's father and mother did not inform their colleagues, friends, or grandfather either.
Firecrackers went off downstairs and the bride arrived.
Grandma Qian stood up with a smile and waited for the newcomers to come in.
Xu Di and Zhang Chaoyang walked up together, both wearing black cashmere coats.
The weather outside is still very cold, and it is unbearable to wear only military uniform.
At this time, the other members of the Zhang family saw the bride's true appearance.
"Mom, she's just average looking, not a stunning beauty, but my second brother is still so concerned about her. He must have never seen the world."
"Keep your voice down, or your second brother will hear you. He won't tolerate you."
Zhang's mother glared at her daughter and said, "Grandpa and grandma are here, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"snort!"
Zhang's mother ignored her daughter and had to step forward to greet her, otherwise she would be the one being laughed at. In the eyes of outsiders, the one getting married is her own son.
At that time, the wedding ceremony was very simple, singing a red song, reciting a few quotations, and bowing to the statue of the great man...
Xu Di was not quite clear and followed her Aunt Wang's instructions throughout the whole process.
After all the ceremonies were completed, everyone ate the wedding candy and slowly dispersed.
Today is not a day off. Except for close friends and relatives who have taken leave to come here, everyone else has to go back to work.
The Xu family also went back and saw Xu Di’s new house, and they felt relieved.
The Zhang family was the only ones left in the room.
Grandma Qian sat in the main seat, and old man Zhang sat on the side. He had no say here.
Zhang Chaoyang brought Xu Di to meet the people from the Zhang family. He has parents, brother and sister-in-law, younger siblings, cousins, and quite a few people.
Xu Di greeted them one by one. They would not have many opportunities to meet in the future, so it was enough for them to be able to maintain good relationships with each other.
"Okay, now that we've all met, let's call it a day. We've been busy all morning, let's go home and do whatever we need to do. There's no banquet."
Grandma Qian spoke and no one else objected.
Old man Zhang originally wanted to have dinner together, but after hearing this, he could not say anything and took the lead to leave.
Zhang Chaoyang's parents wanted to say something, but in the end they said nothing and left.
The simple wedding ended and the two were officially married!
