Today is not a military holiday, but the training tasks are not heavy recently, so it is still possible to take half a day off.
There was Li Biao, the second battalion commander whom Ji Wanqing had met, and three company commanders from the first battalion, who came with Jiang Che to pick up the bride.
There were 5 people in total, riding 5 bicycles to pick up the bride, followed by many others who were taking turns to watch the fun, and then went to the family compound.
As for the Fang family, Aunt Zhuge called a few aunties from the neighborhood who were familiar to her, as well as a dozen children in the compound. A group of women and children blocked the door, making the men who came to pick up the bride afraid to act rashly and unable to move forward at all.
Jiang Che gave out candies, distributed red envelopes, asked them to do push-ups, and even made them recite several quotations before he allowed them to enter the courtyard to pick up the bride.
Ji Wanqing, wearing a red shirt and black skirt, came out of the room. Her bright and shocking look was very much in the Hong Kong style.
There was a moment of silence in the yard, followed by the screams of the children, the surprise of the neighboring ladies, and several surprised and envious eyes.
"What a beautiful bride! Grandma, I want to wear red too! Me too!"
"Oh, Xiao Jiang's wife is so outstanding. Our family has a beautiful Guanyin!"
"Oh my god, they said my sister-in-law was prettier than Comrade Su, but I thought it was an exaggeration. Today, I see that she is indeed a real beauty!"
The children rushed over with eyes wide open, wanting to hug the bride, but Jiang Che took the lead, leaned over and picked her up.
The 1.9-meter-tall man lifted the person to his chest. The children couldn't even touch the edge of her skirt and cried anxiously.
Jiang Che was wearing his most stylish uniform today, with a military medal on his chest and epaulettes on his shoulders, the kind that looked like he could go on stage and accept honors.
Ji Wanqing was held in his arms, and he lifted her up on purpose, unconsciously hugging his neck.
There were teasing sounds coming from all around, and although Ji Wanqing didn't say anything, Jiang Che seemed a little helpless, which was rare for him.
"Let's go to the regiment headquarters."
A bicycle passed through the courtyard with great pride, the bride's skirt fluttered in the air, and the laughter of children chasing after the bicycles could be heard from far away.
Wen's office.
Officer Feng came in and reminded him, "Master, it's almost time. How about I take you there now?"
Seeing the commander's puzzled expression, Officer Feng reminded him, "Did you forget? Today you were going to the 113th Regiment's canteen to be the witness for Battalion Commander Jiang's wedding."
Teacher Wen curled his lips and stood up reluctantly: "Then let's go. By the way, Xiaoqian doesn't know, right?"
His old friend really knows how to make things difficult for others. He knows that his granddaughter likes the boy surnamed Jiang, but he still wants him to be the witness for Jiang Che's wedding!
Is it because you think his family is too comfortable?
Officer Feng: "Ms. Wen has been busy with the radio station recently, so she probably doesn't know."
As soon as the words fell, Wen Qian's voice came from the office: "Grandpa! Are you going to Jiang Che's wedding? I'm going too!"
"..." Master Wen held his forehead helplessly and shouted with a stern face: "Why are you going there? You are going to someone's wedding, aren't you ashamed?"
Wen Qianjiao was raised by him and has always been heartless and outspoken: "What shame? This is called brave pursuit of love! Epic romance!"
"Ancestor! You are my ancestor! If you dare to say this again in my office, I will break your legs!"
Although the current situation is not as tense as in the past, it is better to keep some words that should not be said in your heart!
Wen Qian pouted: "I just went to see what his fiancée looks like. Why would he choose her over me? Humph."
"No, you are not allowed to go." Commander Wen adjusted the brim of his hat, his tone unyielding.
Zhuge Xiaohua invited him to be the witness as the bride's elder, but if she brought her granddaughter along and caused trouble, wouldn't that be a slap in her face in public?
Wen Qian: "I'll go if I want to!"
But Teacher Wen is the head of a division after all. It is true that he dotes on this granddaughter whose parents died young. But when it comes to the truth, the arm is no match for the thigh.
So Wen Qian was locked in the office by Teacher Wen, and the duty officer was told that she could not be released until after lunch.
Regimental canteen, second floor.
Jiang Che had good relationships with people, and everyone was willing to give him face, so basically everyone he invited came.
The quotas for banquets held in the regiment cafeteria for different ranks were limited, but Jiang Che bought enough ingredients for the cafeteria and added two main dishes, stewed cabbage with meat and mushroom chicken soup, so today's banquet was very sumptuous.
After hearing about the commander, many people couldn't believe it. Captain Jiang was so generous that he could invite the commander to be the witness! ?
Later we learned that Captain Jiang was invited by the bride's family, and everyone looked at the newlywed wife with even more shock.
My sister-in-law/brother-in-law is not only beautiful and a great cook, but she also has such a great background!
I am just envious and jealous!
The wedding begins.
However, in this era, weddings are just a few words of encouragement from the witness, the man and woman recite quotations together, and then everyone is toasted.
During the toast, Jiang Che introduced them to her one by one. When he came to the third table, he said, "This is Wang Zihua, and this is Shen Feng. They are both deputy commanders of our first battalion."
Wang Zihua and Shen Feng: "Hello, sister-in-law!"
Ji Wanqing raised an eyebrow.
Shen Feng.
The man's appearance fits the title of the book very well. He is not only tall and strong, but also has a lot of muscle on his body. From behind, he looks like a bear. Coupled with his cold, hard and sharp horns, he does have the temperament of a cool and rough man.
He is just too muscular and completely lacks aesthetic appeal. Compared to such a dark-skinned and rough man, Ji Wanqing still prefers a handsome man like Jiang Che with broad shoulders, long legs and a handsome face.
Her eyes wandered for a moment, then she looked away and smiled, "Hello."
After lunch and sending blessings, everyone went back to the camp and regiment headquarters to work.
Jiang Che took Ji Wanqing to the new home in the family compound to see what else they could buy.
Ji Wanqing looked around the new home and said in surprise, "I didn't expect it to be so close to Aunt Zhuge's house. It will be convenient to visit her in the future."
Jiang Che was also surprised, because according to his rank he could only live in the bungalow area, where several families shared a large compound.
I didn't expect the organization would give him this place.
He glanced at the curious little girl inconspicuously, thinking that maybe she was taking advantage of her wife.
The new yard is quite big and it is a small two-story building.
There are several flower beds and wooden frames in the yard, covering an area of about 20 square meters.
There is a kitchen, living room, small bedroom on the first floor, and a dry toilet in the backyard.
There are also three rooms on the second floor. Ji Wanqing plans to use the largest room as a bedroom, the one on the left as a study, and the one on the right as a cloakroom.
However, when the previous family moved, they moved out with nothing left, except for the stove in the kitchen and the earthen kang in the bedroom.
Therefore, Ji Wanqing had to go to the county to find a carpenter to buy furniture, wardrobe boxes, tables, chairs, benches, and the dressing table and desk that she had ordered last time, and have them brought back together.
Jiang Che stayed in the yard to clean the new house and moved the things from the dormitory over.
