Chapter 317 The Song Family Discusses Lin Qingqing and Song Yiyuan’s Wedding
The entire Song family had arrived, and without even changing out of their military uniforms, they were already sitting in the hall discussing Song Yiyuan and Lin Qingqing's wedding the day after tomorrow.
They had been preparing for the wedding behind Lin Qingqing's back these days, notifying people and buying cigarettes and alcohol.
Zhou Yingying and Zhuang Chaoyue also ran around the city, buying the latest colors and stickers to decorate the house.
They have been busy for so many days, and today the Song family gathered together to talk about their achievements and problems encountered.
Just now, Grandma Song and Grandpa Song went to visit the Tong family, and they wanted to keep Lin Qingqing there to give the Song family time to discuss the wedding matters.
Grandpa Song was away, and Song Yu was the head of the family. He spoke first: "The banquet will be set up in the square in the center of the compound, and the pot will be set up nearby. Yunhui, have you applied for permission from the army?"
Regarding this point, does anyone have any objection? Weddings in their compound are always held in the square, with tables set up so that everyone in the compound can sit down.
The people living in the military compound are all old comrades who know each other for a long time, so no matter who has a happy event, the whole compound will come to participate, just to make it more lively.
It's a happy occasion for Marshal Song's family, so there will be even more people coming, including those from outside the compound, such as Deputy Commander Liao and those who live in the army.
Since they were all soldiers, they didn't engage in capitalist practices. They brought their own rations to the banquet and didn't give gifts.
If you have any thoughts, you will bring some gifts.
When there is a happy event, people just need to prepare cigarettes, alcohol and candy.
The army's logistics department will purchase and deliver the dishes, with one dish for each table. If you want additional dishes, the host will have to pay for it.
The troops would drive large trucks to bring over tables, chairs, stoves, chefs and other supplies that morning.
It's a one-stop service. The army prepares the basics, and if you want more, you have to buy it yourself.
"I've applied. There are 20 tables in the compound, and I've registered another 8, making a total of 28."
Song Yu nodded: "Qingqing's family is coming tomorrow, have you prepared how to receive them?"
Song Yunhui: "Xiao Si said to tell my sister-in-law about the wedding tomorrow afternoon, and then they will go to pick up the Lin family."
"Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow afternoon. Let Xiao Si stay in the compound tonight, and I'll pick him up the next morning."
Song Yunhai interrupted at this time: "Grandpa said yesterday that when the Lin family comes, we should have dinner together in the evening, otherwise it would be too awkward to meet the next day."
Mother Song stretched forward and said, "I'll arrange this. I'll invite Mr. Cai and Mr. Tong along. I was planning to have them have dinner with our family these past two days. They've adopted Xiao Si's wife as their godson, so we have to show our appreciation."
Song Yunhai was worried about the Lin family.
The Lin family are all ordinary people. If they were arranged to have a meal with the three old marshals, they would probably be so scared that they wouldn't even be able to pick up the chopsticks.
However, my mother is used to being strong, and once she makes a decision, no one else can have their say except my grandparents, and my grandfather can't do anything about it either.
Thinking of this, he asked Song's mother: "Have grandpa and two uncles come from G? Do you want to invite them together tomorrow?"
"I called your grandpa and his family, and they can't come until the morning of the wedding. If your grandpa was at home, would I still let Xiao Si and his wife visit?"
Having said that, Song Yunhai quickly shut up.
The whole family knew that their strong and hot-tempered mother had always been at odds with her two aunts, like sworn enemies. No one knew why, but whenever these two people were mentioned, Mother Song would get angry.
They only go to their grandfather's house during the Spring Festival, and usually it is their grandfather who comes home.
Recently, my grandfather took my two uncles to Gsheng for an inspection, and we haven't seen each other for a long time.
"Mom, are you ready for Qingqing to wear her wedding dress on the wedding day?" Zhuang Chaoyue quickly changed the subject.
Mother Song finally smiled when she said this: "When your grandmother was alive, she embroidered a bright red peony cheongsam with her own hands. I've had it cleaned over the past two days, and the waist and chest measurements have also been adjusted."
Zhuang Chaoyue used the excuse that Lin Qingqing's size was taken when she was making clothes. She originally wanted to buy a red skirt for her wedding gown, but she didn't know why Song's mother suddenly changed her mind.
"Only Qingqing can wear that cheongsam so beautifully." Zhou Yingying said sincerely.
They had all seen that cheongsam, which was kept in a box by her mother-in-law with great care and was only taken out when she needed to maintain it.
The entire cheongsam is covered with eight layers of embroidery, which looks very delicate.
It can only be described as dazzling and colorful.
I thought my mother-in-law would keep it as a treasure forever.
Now Mother Song actually took out a cheongsam for Lin Qingqing to wear, and everyone in the Song family was a little surprised.
“No matter how expensive the clothes are, if no one wears them, they are just rags.”
Zhou Yingying and her two sisters-in-law looked at each other, not knowing how to respond. Zhuang Chaoyue tried to change the subject again.
"Then leave the decoration of the new house and other places in the house to me and my eldest sister-in-law. My second sister-in-law can just help take care of the children."
Normally, when they were at work, Wu Fangjie did more work at home than them. When they were at home, they would do what they could do themselves and would not bother Wu Fangjie.
Wu Fang nodded blankly.
Seeing her like this, the Song family knew that she was discussing marriage, which stimulated her and reminded her of Song Yunzhi, the second son of the Song family.
Song Xu simply summarized it again.
"Yunhui, you will come with me to greet the guests outside that morning. Yunhai, you will be responsible for the miscellaneous matters related to the banquet in the square."
"Menghua, just take a few daughters-in-law with you, distribute candy at home, and invite the female comrades who will come to the feast."
Several people nodded, and then went about their own business.
After a while, Lin Qingqing was also dragged over by Grandma Song. Song Yiyuan was still talking to Tong Yiyong at Tong's house.
When Grandpa Song entered the house, he whispered to Lin Qingqing, "Dean Shi gave the medicine to the leader. This method works."
Lin Qingqing smiled brightly upon hearing this: "If there is a way, then go ahead."
This is considered to give myself another point.
