It's the weekend in a blink of an eye.
Liu Haizhong's face was flushed and he was dressed neatly, as if the one getting married was himself instead of his son Liu Guangqi.
It seems that it is also because the previous manager of the compound was removed. According to common sense, the Liu family should ask Yi Zhonghai to be the guest, but the guest there today is indeed a relative of the Liu family. However, even if Yi Zhonghai does not show up, it is more than enough to arrange Yan Fugui. Is it because Yan Fugui charges too much?
I heard Xu Damao mention this before when we were drinking. I heard that Liu Guangqi's father-in-law was the second-in-command of some bureau. He was very dissatisfied when he talked about it, and said that he would find a bigger leader in the future.
However, Lin Tian is arranged to follow these young men in the courtyard to pick up the bride today. He should be able to see what the specific situation is by then.
The bride-picking ceremony at that time was still very simple. They just pushed three bicycles with red flowers on them, and more than ten people went to Liu Guangqi's father-in-law's house in a mighty manner.
Before I left, I heard that it was quite close, and it was indeed quite close. It took us an hour and a half to walk there from five in the morning.
When they arrived at Liu Guangqi's father-in-law's house, these people immediately became obedient. In that era, the top-ranked compound was the military compound, followed by the government compound.
Lin Tian was also secretly shocked. Regardless of the size of his father-in-law's official position, it seemed that the elder had some status. He never expected that no wonder his bangs were so swollen. This was a bit like marrying down. But after thinking about it, this was not marrying down, but being a live-in son-in-law.
Originally, Lin Tian wanted to see the bride-receiving ceremony in this era, but in the end, nothing happened. The people from both sides simply couldn't get along with each other, so they quickly picked the people up.
By the time everyone had picked up the bride and returned to the courtyard, it was already past 10 o'clock. As soon as they reached the gate, the firecrackers that had been arranged in advance went off. It was estimated that in two years, no one would set off firecrackers.
After the parents of both parties sat down, the two bowed to the portrait, then bowed to their parents, sang a song together, and hung up the marriage certificate that had been obtained in advance. The ceremony was completed.
After sending the bride back to the room, Liu Haizhong and Liu Guangqi began to invite everyone to take a seat. When Lin Tian passed by the kitchen, he took a look and saw that there were more than ten tables prepared.
Banquets in this era were no different from those in later generations. Basically, except for real relatives, other families would send one person to the banquet.
Lin Tian followed the others in the compound and gave gifts, all of them 50 cents, and some were Liu Haizhong's colleagues in the factory, some gave extra money, some gave less, but Lin Tian saw that the relatives of the Liu family gave more, about two or three yuan.
Lin Tian was arranged to sit at a table in the courtyard. At the table were Yi Zhonghai, Yan Fugui, Jia Dongxu, Lin Tian, Xu Damao, as well as Zhu Jia, Zhu Yi and Zhu Bing.
"Liu Guangqi is really lucky to have such a good father-in-law." Xu Damao said unconvincedly after drinking a glass of wine.
"Second uncle has something to show off now, but then again, he only graduated from a technical secondary school and became a cadre when he joined the company. He is different from us ordinary workers." Yan Fugui said with a bit of envy, but he also had a headache, because his eldest son graduated from junior high school for more than two years and now he has not been assigned a job and is still doing odd jobs everywhere. He doesn't know when he can get a job. If he had studied better and been admitted to a technical secondary school, he could have married the daughter of the leader now.
"By the way, it's time for all the children in our hospital to get married. The older ones, Dongxu and Guangqi, are already married. Shazhu, Damao, Jiecheng, and Xiaolin all need to hurry up and get married. Old Yan, see if we can find a matchmaker named Wang to introduce them to each other." Yi Zhonghai started arranging the work directly, but the others were not convinced.
"Uncle, my mother has already found one for me, so you don't have to worry about this." Xu Damao didn't give him any face at all and cursed in his heart, thinking that if he let you arrange it, I don't know what kind of person you would arrange for me.
"If it works out, I won't be in a hurry. Let's wait until work is arranged. Now it's too crowded for our family to live together. We can arrange a house once work is arranged." Yan Fugui said so, but Lin Tian guessed that Yan Fugui might be reluctant to spend the money on the matchmaker.
"Haha, I'm still young, only 16 years old, and I just started working. I have no experience at all, so how can I get married? I'd better wait a few years before talking about it." Lin Tian also laughed it off.
Yi Zhonghai's face suddenly turned dark. It seemed that he was no longer a big shot and was no longer able to do so. He took the initiative to introduce someone to a date, but no one responded.
Jia Dongxu was quite sensible. "Master, drink some wine. I tell you, our fat boy Banggeng is almost able to turn over."
"Haha, let's drink." Hearing his apprentice say this, Yi Zhonghai felt much better. It seemed that he would have to rely on this apprentice for his retirement. Just when Yi Zhonghai was feeling quite relieved, a quarrel broke out at the other table.
When everyone saw it, they immediately looked upset, especially Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai.
No one knew when Jia Zhang came to the banquet. If she wanted to come, she came. No one would bother with her on such a happy occasion. But as soon as she sat at the table, she picked up the plate of meat and started pouring it all into her bowl.
The relatives of the Liu family couldn't bear to see this and said, "You old woman, others haven't eaten yet."
"Oh, Old Jia, you just watched the Liu family bully others. Even when I came to the banquet, someone wouldn't let me eat." Jia Zhang didn't know what was wrong with her, and she started howling. Even an old lady at the same table couldn't stop her.
Xu Damao, Lin Tian and the others were almost laughing out loud. If it happened in the past, they would have no place to seek justice even if they were beaten to death by someone calling him "Old Jia" at someone else's wedding.
