Chapter 228: The Tearful Woman and the Angry Woman at the Wedding Banquet
"What a beautiful bride!"
"The groom is also handsome!"
"Doctor Luo, congratulations! You and your wife will enjoy a happy life from now on!"
…
Everyone congratulated Luo Weian and Old Lady Luo. Although they were still wearing hats, their grandson-in-law was a military officer with a promising future, and their granddaughter was also capable. They had more than they could spend on their salary, so they shouldn't live too comfortably.
"Let's be happy together. Living in a new society, every day is a good day."
Luo Weian was smiling happily and spoke very tactfully, never letting anyone catch him in any trouble.
Old Mrs. Luo didn't look too good, because she suddenly became mute when she woke up in the morning and couldn't say a word.
After examining her, Luo Weian said that she was just suffering from internal heat and would be fine if she drank more water. However, she had already drunk three glasses of water and still wasn't feeling better. It was so strange that she couldn't even brag about anything, and it was strange that she could be in a good mood.
She didn't know that the reason she was mute was because Luo Weian was worried that she would talk nonsense today, so he specially pricked her mute acupoint in the middle of the night, and the effect lasted for twelve hours, which was exactly one day.
Luo Wei'an stuffed a bag of wedding candy into her hand and said, "Share the candy with everyone. Don't be stingy."
Old Mrs. Luo couldn't show off and was so bored that she had to distribute the candies obediently. No matter who talked to her, she would just smile slightly and grab a few candies.
If she encounters someone who speaks rudely, she will roll her eyes and not give any candy.
Luo Weian originally wanted to hold a banquet, but Luo Xinxin disagreed, saying that she had just taken off her hat and had to keep a low profile. In fact, she was just too lazy to get along with the people on the farm, except for Director Lei and Huang Jinxiang and a few others.
She only bought fruit candies for the wedding. Two points can buy one pound in the mall, which is very cheap.
Li Rong and Luo Xinxin bowed to the old couple and prepared to return to the army.
"Live well and come back often."
Luo Weian wiped the corners of his eyes, feeling mixed emotions, happy for his granddaughter but also a little sad.
If nothing had happened to the Luo family, he would definitely have held a grand banquet in Shanghai and married his granddaughter in style. Although it is good now, he didn't even have a wedding banquet, so it was a bit shabby after all.
The two jeeps drove away slowly, with the sound of firecrackers coming from behind. Soon the farm gradually moved away and was getting closer and closer to the troops.
The army's banquet was dinner, with a total of fifteen tables. The dishes were very hard, including pork, mutton, chicken and duck. The meat was all bought by Luo Xinxin from the mall. Li Rong told others that he asked someone to buy it in the countryside.
Several senior leaders of the military region attended the wedding banquet. Qin Jingxiong and his wife from the base did not come, but they asked Cui Zhiguo to bring a big red envelope.
Weddings in the 1960s were also lively. Cui Zhiguo, as the witness, came on stage and gave a blessing speech. Then Li Rong talked about her love experience. The audience cheered: "Pay attention to details, don't just gloss over it!"
Li Rong ignored them and said succinctly, "We are neighbors and have known each other for many years. My grandmother introduced us, and we have worked together since then. I can't tell you the details; they are confidential. You can imagine it yourself."
Everyone was very dissatisfied and felt that Li Rong was insincere, but since everyone said it was a confidential matter, they did not dare to ask any further questions.
So they decided to keep the wedding night for an extra hour!
The leader and the groom both gave speeches, and then the newlyweds toasted each other one by one. The first table was definitely the leader's table, which was occupied by senior leaders of the military region, including Lao Cui.
"Little Li and Little Luo, hurry up and contribute to the construction of socialism and bring in more children!"
The political commissar of the military region is worthy of being in charge of ideological work. He immediately grasped the country's central policies and asked them to focus on both work and family, without neglecting either side.
"I will work hard and serve my country with all my heart!"
Li Rong answered with a resounding voice.
The leaders present were all experienced people, and they smiled knowingly when they heard this. They also advised him to drink less so as not to miss the wedding night.
Luo Xinxin kept her head down and pretended to be shy the whole time. She really couldn't handle this kind of social interaction. In case she said something wrong, it would cause trouble. It was better to pretend to be dumb.
However, she noticed that there was a strange female guest at the next table. She was in her twenties and wearing a military uniform. She must be from the army. The girl was not particularly beautiful, but she had fair skin, a slim figure, and a gentle temperament. She was quite eye-catching in the crowd.
Moreover, the woman had tears in her eyes and kept looking at them. Luo Xinxin was very sure that the woman was looking at Li Rong, and her eyes were as if she was looking at a heartless person.
After toasting one table and about to go to the next, she nudged Li Rong, poked her lips at the woman, and asked in a low voice, "Do you owe that woman money?"
Li Rong looked in the direction of her pouting mouth, frowned slightly, and replied in a low voice: "He looks a little familiar, but I don't know him. I never ask people to borrow money."
He has a high salary and receives bonuses for tasks, so people always ask him to borrow money.
He thought for a moment and said, "Maybe I have a problem with crying when I'm exposed to the wind."
It's not easy to develop such a disease at such a young age.
Li Rong felt very sorry for the crying young woman. It was a sin.
Luo Xinxin's mouth twitched. This reason was quite powerful. Her man was indeed a talented person.
Soon they arrived at the next table, which happened to be the table of the tearful woman. Next to this woman sat a woman in military uniform. She was not very old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looked heroic. However, her face was not looking good, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Li Rong was as if she wanted to kill him.
Luo Xinxin secretly laughed, and she thought that Li Rong had done something extremely outrageous to these two women.
She pretended not to see anything and toasted everyone one by one. The other guests also saw it and had strange expressions on their faces. Some of them even gloated and wanted to laugh at their misfortune.
It was the turn of the tearful woman and the angry woman. Luo Xinxin deliberately avoided them and toasted the military wives next to them.
The tears in the tearful woman's eyes finally flowed down. Her face was full of grievance and she looked at Li Rong with resentment.
The angry woman stood up for her friend and shouted, "Why aren't you toasting Lili and me? Do you look down on us?"
"Xueyang, it's okay."
Han Lili tried to pull her friend away, but her tears kept flowing.
"You're just too good-tempered, that's why you get bullied. Don't pull me, I have to ask clearly."
Ren Xueyang complained angrily, saying that her man had been taken away by someone else, so how could she still swallow her anger?
If it were her, she would have come to the door long ago and ruined the wedding banquet. No one would have had an easy time!
Han Lili lowered her head and cried, looking like she had been betrayed by a heartless man. Many guests recognized her and whispered to each other, wanting to see how Li Rong would solve the problem.
Cui Zhiguo's face darkened, and he walked over and scolded: "Xueyang, what are you doing? Come here!"
"Uncle Cui, don't worry about it. We must get to the bottom of this matter today!"
Ren Xueyang rolled up his sleeves, put his hands on his hips, and looked very imposing.
Cui Zhiguo had a very ugly expression on his face. Ren Xueyang was the daughter of his old comrade-in-arms. As he had her in his old age, he inevitably spoiled her a little bit, and raised the girl to be dumber than a pig, and she was often used as a gun.
He looked at Han Lili warningly. Han Lili felt a chill on her back and felt a little regretful. But when she thought of Li Rong's indifference and ruthlessness towards her, she became more determined. She was just too sad and couldn't control her tears. She didn't let Ren Xueyang make a fuss. This girl wanted to make a fuss and she couldn't stop her.
Cui Zhiguo wanted to forcefully drag Ren Xueyang away, but was stopped by Luo Xinxin, "Uncle Cui, today is Li Rong and my wedding day, it would be better if there was some fun."
