Chapter 968 I'll Make the Decision for Her
Liu Di told the Qiao family that her parents did not come, and the leader of her unit knew that she was going to get married, so he wanted to negotiate her marriage on behalf of her parents.
The Qiao family was quite unhappy and felt that Liu Di's leadership was too lenient.
As for the leaders of the unit, they have only heard of being witnesses, but how could they be parents who organize weddings?
They are afraid of being supervised because they will definitely be criticized.
They didn't arrange anything for this wedding. Even the small bed on the balcony was where their daughter slept when she was at home.
wedding? No, banquet? No, there was no betrothal gift, only a marriage certificate and a bag of wedding candies, which I would prepare to distribute to relatives, friends and neighbors on the wedding day, and to receive return gifts and collect all the money I had given away over the years.
Although ordinary people are not rich now and living conditions are difficult, for city dwellers, it is rare to have such a simple wedding.
They themselves know they are in the wrong.
But Liu Di is a 30-year-old woman who has dated twice. What kind of ceremony does she want?
If she hadn't been admitted to university now and would definitely earn a lot in the future and be able to help the family, they would not agree.
The Qiao family members still had emotions on their faces when they entered the house.
When I saw the furnishings in the room, I was surprised, but also felt jealous.
They thought this was the leader's house.
"Come on, please take a seat." Cheng Hui came out of the room and asked a few people to sit down: "I am Liu Di's leader, Cheng Hui."
There are three people from the Qiao family today, Qiao's father, Qiao's mother and Qiao Dong.
The three of them were stunned, and it took them a few seconds to remember who Cheng Hui was, but they were still a little unsure.
Cheng Hui is a big shot in the newspapers! In recent years, it is still active in newspapers and among the people. Because of the existence of the commercial street, it still collects various handicrafts from all over the country like an inclusive sea.
Nowadays, the quality of handicrafts is getting better and better, the commercial streets are becoming more and more interesting to visit, and every citizen goes there for a stroll when they have nothing to do.
"Cheng Hui? The Cheng Hui in the newspaper?" Qiao's mother asked immediately.
Cheng Hui smiled and nodded: "It should be me."
Qiao Dong asked Liu Di in surprise and astonishment: "Sister Liu, didn't you say you were just a handyman in the office?"
Cheng Hui had seen him before. She saw him upstairs waiting outside the office for Liu Di to go out on a date, but he did not see Cheng Hui.
They thought that the leader was an office director or something like that, how could they have imagined that it would be Cheng Hui?
If they had known Cheng Hui had asked them to come, they should have brought some gifts! You shouldn't go empty handed!
That’s right, his name is Liu Di, Sister Liu, and Liu Di is one year older than him.
It was also the first time that Cheng Hui heard him call Liu Di like this. She looked at him and wondered if he had a low EQ. Or is it that he doesn't have enough feelings for Liu Di?
Shouldn’t people with deep feelings be called daughter-in-law or wife? To put it in a more corny way, it could be called lover or something like that.
What the hell is Sister Liu?
She looked at Liu Di again, her expression natural.
All right.
Liu Di said: "Our office is small, and there are only a few female colleagues. I see my leader every day, so we are familiar with each other."
She didn't dare tell them how good her relationship with Cheng Hui was, for fear that the Qiao family would ask her to do something for them.
What can she do? She can't do anything! She didn't want to trouble Cheng Hui.
The Qiao family believed this statement, but since Cheng Hui was willing to take the lead on her behalf, it showed that Liu Di had some face in front of Cheng Hui.
This made them all sit up straight, with smiles on their faces becoming warm and friendly.
Cheng Hui's smile was very polite, like that of a leader.
"Xiao Liu and I met when we went to the countryside," said Cheng Hui.
The Qiao family's eyes lit up again, which meant that this relationship was even more unusual.
"I also know her parents. They are busy with farming and cannot leave to come to Beijing to arrange her wedding. They came to me and asked me to help arrange the wedding on their behalf. I wonder if you think it's appropriate?" Cheng Hui said.
She said that the Liu family asked her to do this so that she could shut the Qiao family up.
Mother Qiao immediately said, "It's appropriate."
Father Qiao complimented him, "It is their honor that you can arrange the marriage between Liu Di and my son."
Cheng Hui smiled and said, "Then let's talk about the process of the wedding. Where will we host the banquet? How many tables will we host? Who will be the master of ceremonies and witnesses?"
It's been 1978 now. Most people no longer have to go hungry, and city dwellers have spare money to treat their wedding guests to a meal.
If you can’t afford to go to a restaurant, just invite your guests at home.
I can't invite too many people, but at least I have to invite a few tables of my own relatives and friends to make it lively and have a ceremony.
The Qiao family had previously told Liu Di that they did not plan to host a dinner party, but now they politely discussed it with Cheng Hui as if they had never mentioned it before.
"I've already calculated it. We have many relatives, so at least five tables of guests will come," said Qiao's mother.
When her eldest son got married, she had also thought about organizing the wedding, and had thought about it twice. She had even calculated who should be invited. But because of the calculation, when it came to Liu Di, she decided not to invite anyone. Now, if they wanted to organize a good banquet for five tables, it would cost at least 100 yuan, and they were reluctant to spend that money.
It would be embarrassing if it is not organized well, so it is better not to invite them!
"We are planning to invite a master of ceremonies..." Qiao's mother was about to say something when she was interrupted by Qiao's father. He said to Cheng Hui attentively, "Director Cheng has a wide network of contacts. Do you have a suitable master of ceremonies and witnesses?"
Cheng Hui smiled and said, "Of course, I'll find someone to be the MC and I'll be the witness."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the Qiao family members were all very happy. It would be so glorious to have Cheng Hui as the witness. If she had known this earlier, she should have invited 10 tables of people and invited all the colleagues and leaders from their unit...
No, one of them is about to retire and the other has already retired. It’s useless to invite the leaders of their units. We should invite the leaders of our sons to come and take a look!
Well, let’s do it this way. Invite fewer relatives and neighbors and invite all these leaders!
The location should also be changed. It can’t be at home anymore, it has to be in a hotel.
Cheng Hui asked the question: "Where shall we treat you?"
Father Qiao immediately said, "In a restaurant!" He gritted his teeth and named a good restaurant. The five tables might cost 200 yuan.
"I don't think it's a good idea to have them in a restaurant. It's too extravagant." Cheng Hui said, "Let's just have five tables at home. We can accommodate them at home."
Mother Qiao really wanted to say that her house couldn't accommodate all the food. She definitely couldn't accommodate all the food. If she was going to host a banquet, she would have planned to borrow the help of a few neighbors to set up the banquet.
Cheng Hui pointed to the house and said, "The master bedroom won't work. Put one table in each of the two bedrooms, two tables in the living room, and one table in the dining room. That's just right."
"What?" the Qiao family asked in surprise.
Only then did they look around the house and found that there were ribbons hanging and wedding characters pasted on the wall. They had not reacted at all before and thought that the leader's family had just gotten married. Now they were even more surprised.
Are Cheng Hui and Liu Di’s relationship so good that Cheng Hui can lend her a house for her marriage?
Cheng Hui said: "This is the house allocated to Liu Di by the unit."
"What?" Qiao's mother jumped up from the sofa in shock.
