Chapter 24: Receiving the Bride

Shen Zheng held the flowers and stood outside the door. He stretched out his hand and pushed it, but the door was tightly blocked.

The master of ceremonies who came with Shen Zheng was Li Zhongxun, the commander of their division.

When Shen Zheng joined the army, Li Zhongxun was the commander of their company.

It can be said that he watched Shen Zheng grow up all the way. Shen Zheng lost his father at an early age, but he treated Shen Zheng like his own son. He

urged him to get married every day but to no avail. Shen Zheng finally agreed to get married, so he must strongly support him.

Today, he came with a car and insisted on being the master of ceremonies.

Li Zhongxun was anxious, "Hurry up, where are the red envelopes? Express the red envelopes!"

A group of soldiers were rushing behind him, handing red envelopes in.

A bunch of red envelopes were stuffed into the crack of the door. One of them was not wrapped in paper, and two yuan fell out.

The red envelopes given by other people to block the door were not so big. One yuan was a lot, and usually it was just a few cents. Some families even gave a few cents.

Fang Jie looked at the red envelopes on the ground, which were at least forty or fifty, and was a little surprised.

Is money thrown like this?

As the saying goes, if you take something from someone, you should be grateful. So many red envelopes...

Fang Jie looked at Fang Xiaoluo, "Sister..."

Fang Xiaoluo spread her hands and gave Fang Jie an expression that said you can do whatever you want.

Li Zhongxun leaned on the door and listened. There was no movement. He pushed Shen Zheng, "You say something!"

Shen Zheng nodded. He stood there with a straight posture and a firm look.

Li Zhongxun covered his head and said, "Relax, this is not a war."

Shen Zheng was actually very nervous. This was the first time he was getting married in his life and he had no experience.

He cleared his throat and said loudly to the door, "Comrade Fang, I'm Shen Zheng, I..."

Before Shen Zheng finished speaking, Li Zhongxun wanted to push him aside. He looked like he was disappointed with his friend. "What Comrade Fang? You're married now. Call me by my name. It sounds nicer. That's what I taught you yesterday!"

Shen Zheng thought for a moment and reorganized his words. "Xiaoluo, I'm Shen Zheng. Today is our wedding day. I'm here to pick you up."

"After you come home with me, you will be in charge of everything at home. The salary is yours, and the passbook is also yours. You say east, I won't go west. You say catch a dog, I won't chase a chicken..."

At this point, laughter broke out inside and outside the house.

Fang Xiaoluo also laughed.

Shen Zheng continued, "Xiaoluo, don't worry. I will be loyal to you and our family. I will take on the responsibilities I should take and do my best to provide you with a safe haven."

"Thank you for choosing to be my wife. In the days to come, whether you are rich or poor, healthy or sick, I will protect you and love you."

"Xiaoluo, open the door."

As Shen Zheng finished speaking, people outside applauded, and some people cheered while they applauded.

"Open the door, open the door."

"The bride is opening the door!"

Fang Xiaoluo asked Fang Jie to pass on the message, "Ask him if he can sing."

Fang Jie leaned on the door, "My sister asked you if you can sing?"

Sing?

Shen Zheng thought he should be able to, as he sang every day in the army.

"Yes!"

Fang Xiaoluo said, "Let him sing for me, and open the door if he sings well."

Fang Jie passed the message on, and soon, Shen Zheng's loud singing was heard outside.

"The five-star red flag is fluttering in the wind,"

"How loud the victory song is,"

"Singing our beloved motherland..."

The voice was sonorous, powerful, high-pitched, and passionate.

Then, the soldiers who came to pick up the bride sang along.

The entire Fang family yard and house was like a concert of justice.

Who could not be moved by this music, this voice, and these lyrics?

Especially when the soldiers sang together, the scene of the bloody battles of those predecessors suddenly appeared in front of them, which made people stand in awe.

At this moment, Fang Xiaoluo was moved. As a Chinese daughter, she was proud to be born in this vast land.

Today, she married Shen Zheng. She was a soldier, a soldier who could shoulder heavy responsibilities and defend the country. She was proud.

"Open the door!"

Fang Xiaoluo said, and Fang Jie opened the door directly.

The man standing outside was still singing, and his singing penetrated everything.

Fang Xiaoluo stared at him without blinking. At this time, Shen Zheng had a unique charm that was enough to attract her.

At the end of the song, Shen Zheng smiled, "Xiaoluo, I'll pick you up."

Fang Xiaoluo smiled, "Okay."

Through the open door, Li Zhongxun saw the bride in the room clearly.

You don't know until you see it, and you'll be shocked when you see it.

My goodness, where did Shen Zheng find such a beautiful wife?

As the old saying goes, good things are worth waiting for, Shen Zheng is almost old, and there is no one as pretty as her in the entire military compound.

Including the female soldiers in the art troupe, they are all inferior to Fang Xiaoluo.

No wonder this guy is so eager to get married this time.

The sun shines in through the window, filling the room with golden brilliance.

But none of this is as dazzling as Fang Xiaoluo's smile. Shen Zheng looked at Fang Xiaoluo's smile, and his heart suddenly beat a few more times.

But he quickly recovered. He strode in and put the bouquet in Fang Xiaoluo's hand.

Then he fumbled in his pocket for a long time, and finally took out a sparkling ring.

Under everyone's gaze, Shen Zheng said softly, "I'll help you put it on, okay?"

Fang Xiaoluo stretched out her left hand, and a silver ring was put on her ring finger. The size was perfect.

"How do you know what size I should wear?"

Shen Zheng's ears turned red. He couldn't say this. He vaguely remembered that he shook Fang Xiaoluo's hand when they first met.

Fang Xiaoluo looked at Shen Zheng's expression and didn't ask any more questions.

Many soldiers outside were watching the excitement. You know, this was the first time they saw Shen Zheng speak to someone so gently. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Li Zhongxun was very satisfied with Shen Zheng's performance and said, "Come on, serve tea, serve tea, it's time to change your words."

Fang Shijun and Zhang Xinyan were sitting there, and Fang Yamei brought over the tea that had been brewed in advance.

Fang Xiaoluo saw Chen Meijun rushing over in the crowd, and also saw Wei Yan with his wife and son.

They all came to send her blessings.

Shen Zheng took the first cup and handed it to Fang Shijun, "Dad, have some tea."

"Hey!"

Fang Shijun responded, took the cup and took a sip, then handed Shen Zheng a red envelope.

Shen Zheng went to get the second cup of tea and handed it to Zhang Xinyan, "Mom, have some tea."

"Hey."

Zhang Xinyan's eyes were red, she responded, took a sip of tea as well, and handed Shen Zheng a red envelope.

Fang Shijun stood up with a cane, took Fang Xiaoluo's hand, and solemnly put it in Shen Zheng's hand, "Treat her well. If one day you don't like her anymore, remember to send her back. She is also the precious daughter of our Fang family."

Fang Xiaoluo was moved and tears fell down.

Shen Zheng immediately expressed his opinion, "Dad, I will treat Xiaoluo well. I only recognize her as my wife in this life, and I will not let her suffer any grievances."

Zhang Xinyan waved her hands, "Okay, let's go, don't miss the auspicious time."

Shen Zheng picked up Fang Xiaoluo and held her up. The scene was originally moved by Fang Shijun and Zhang Xinyan, and now Shen Zheng picked up the bride and started to make a fuss again.

The whole yard was full of noise and joy.

Shen Zheng put Fang Xiaoluo in the car, and she saw Fang Shijun and Zhang Xinmei standing at the door, waving at her.

Fang Qiang, Fang Jie and others began to carry things into the car.

Most of these things were bought by Shen Zheng for her.

In addition to some of the furniture sent by Wei Yan, such as dressing tables and desks, the Shen family did not have time to take a taxi, so they all moved them into the car.

Anyone who didn't know would be amazed that this family gave so much dowry when marrying off their daughter!

Before the car started, she called Fang Yamei over, "Yamei, tell mom that I put a thousand yuan in the lower left corner of the wooden box on her kang, and let her remember to keep it."

Fang Yamei wanted to say something, but the car drove out.

The convoy drove away, and the guests of the Fang family were noisy, still lively and noisy.

Fang Qiang and Fang Jie were busy entertaining the guests, and Fang Xiaoluo invited a chef to set up a banquet at Fang's house.

Everyone praised that the Fang family had found a good son-in-law, and Fang Xiaoluo would be the head of the group's wife in the future.
