Chapter 1329 The Process of an Ordinary Wedding in Lizhou's Hometown
On the morning of October 1st, seven or eight young villagers wearing red armbands stood at each entrance of Zhoushui Village. There were also police cars stationed near the main road, and police officers and auxiliary police officers stood in groups of three or four, totaling no less than 30 police officers.
In addition, there are no less than 50 urban management officers wearing uniforms and armbands.
There are rows of warning signs placed above the white lines in the middle of the road as a sign of lane separation, ready for action.
Of course, this is not because Zhou Shui Village hid the grand ceremony of the wedding of the richest man's brother. Even if Zhou Anan had that face, he would not be so ostentatious. He has always liked to keep a low profile.
All these big events were purely because Huatian Town, to which Zhoushui Village belongs, pre-ordered nearly 30,000 tickets on several online shopping platforms. One can imagine how popular the scene was on the National Day.
As a model for old village renovation in Lizhou City, it is only natural for the municipal government to instruct relevant departments to maintain the image of this new business card of the city.
"Let's leave early, so as not to be inconvenienced by the large number of tourists."
Looking at the time, it was almost eight o'clock. Zhou Youliang, the eldest uncle, received news from villagers waiting at the village entrance. Knowing that more and more tourists were coming, he prepared to let the wedding procession set off early.
At this time, many curious villagers gathered at the edge of the square to watch Zhou Youfa getting rich and getting married. There was a long row of Bentley luxury cars, and it was said that each car cost several million.
This might be the first time in their lives that they have seen such a grand scene. Zhou Youfa is really rich.
When we come back to pick up the bride in the afternoon, we will at least have one or two packs of Liqun or something when we stop the wedding car.
Zhou Youliang felt very proud that his son could borrow so many luxury cars of the same model, and he had no pressure in hosting today's ceremony.
My nephew used a fleet of Bentleys for his wedding, so why would his son need several Rolls-Royces for his future wedding?
"good."
Zhou Youfa naturally would not object to his brother's order. On the contrary, today's groom Zhou Shun did not have any say and just had to wait quietly for his elders' orders.
According to the customs in Lizhou, the groom does not need to be present to pick up the bride. Usually, the elders of the family will come forward, that is, Zhou Anan's father is the person in charge.
The real highlight for the groom is to carry the bride upstairs, which is extremely easy.
"Set off."
At Zhou Youliang's command, Zhou Anan, who was sitting in the driver's seat of the front car, slowly started the Bentley. There were two younger and prettier bridesmaids sitting in the back seat.
One of them is Chen Peizhi, the daughter of my father’s childhood friend Chen Xinqi, who just graduated from college this year and is currently helping out in her mother’s factory; the other one seems to be Chen Chunchun, who was temporarily brought over from the village. She graduated from a medical school and is a young nurse at Lizhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital.
Young and beautiful, with the pink bridesmaid dress, it is also a beautiful scenery.
As for why Zhou Anan knew it so clearly, it was because the other second-generation people who were responsible for driving asked about it during a casual chat, and he just stood by and listened casually.
"Brother Zhou, are all these Bentleys of yours borrowed?"
Chen Peizhi, who had a closer relationship with the other party, took the initiative to ask the driver in the front seat.
"Yes, but the one I'm driving belongs to Zhou Shun."
Looking at the young girl in the rearview mirror, Zhou Anan answered with a smile.
"Really? Brother Zhou Shun is so rich, this Bentley must be worth several million, right?!!!"
Upon hearing that the silver Bentley they were sitting in belonged to the groom today, Chen Peizhi exclaimed in surprise, and Chen Chunchun next to her also gave her a strange look.
"I think so. Zhou Shun has made a lot of money in the past two years."
"So Brother Zhou, you are doing it now, right?"
"I just graduated from college this year and am currently studying for a master's degree."
"Your mother has such a big factory and also opened a Tianrun Supermarket. She will definitely not have trouble finding a job in the future."
"Perhaps."
“.”
Along the way, with the chatterbox Chen Peizhi around, the atmosphere in the wedding car quickly heated up, and even Chen Chunchun, who was originally very quiet, joined the chat.
Because it was less than eight o'clock in the morning, the road into the city was still relatively smooth. It took Zhou Anan and others half an hour to reach the Longyu Tiancheng community where the bride lived.
Since Qian Yuqin's hometown was too far away, the destination for picking up the bride was arranged to be the newly purchased house of Zhou Shun and his wife.
Qian Yuqin's family also rushed over from her hometown, but there were not many people, just her closest parents and a dozen brothers and sisters.
"Xiao Qing, you are lucky to be married into such a wealthy family."
In the new house, He Siyu, the bridesmaid, looked at her best friend in a red wedding dress and said with envy.
She knew very well how wealthy the family the other party married into was.
"If there is a chance, I can also introduce you to some rich second-generations."
After hearing her friend's words, Qian Yuqin made a joke with a smile on her face.
She had been guessing the identity of that cousin, but He Siyu accidentally saw a video on the Internet and confirmed the origin of that mysterious cousin.
Even with the boldest guess, Qian Yuqin could not have imagined that her cousin was actually the mysterious founder of Mingliu Group, worth tens of billions.
And the future cousin-in-law, whom I had met twice before, is also an executive of an entertainment company, with an annual salary of several million, and her identity and background are even more mysterious.
Marrying into such a family, what else could she be dissatisfied with?
Only those short-sighted relatives in her hometown would think that it is short-sighted for her, who is now worth millions, to marry into the other party's family and give the other party so much money for nothing.
This is also the reason why Qian Yuqin strictly ordered her family not to bring too many relatives from her hometown to attend the wedding, so as not to affect the impression of her husband's family. She even did not plan to go back to her hometown to hold a banquet.
Qian Yuqin did not have much sense of belonging to that family due to the many years of poverty she lived in as a child, the lack of attention from her parents, and her brothers and sisters who always treated her as a money bag.
From today on, she will have a new home and her brilliant life is about to begin.
"I'd better forget it, but I'm not as lucky as you, nor as pretty as you."
"Don't be discouraged. After all, you are a partner of our Bird of Paradise Foot Bath. Your net worth will be tens of millions in the future."
"Humph, if that's the case, I'll just keep a gigolo, that's great."
"Just be poor."
The wedding party had to have lunch at the bride's place. Qian Yuqin had already made arrangements and had three tables at a restaurant near the community, with a rich variety of food and wine.
At around one o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Youfa, who had asked someone to estimate the time, asked the wedding party to go upstairs to pick up the bride.
Since there were not many people from the bride's hometown, there were no relatives or friends causing trouble. Only a few of Qian Yuqin's immediate relatives and friends blocked the door. Zhou Anan and others were able to enter with red envelopes of less than 2,000 yuan.
Afterwards, the bride was carried into the elevator by her eldest brother and taken to the back seat of the first wedding car.
From beginning to end, the bride's feet never touched the ground, and she could only sit on the bed after the groom carried her back to the bridal chamber.
At this time, the two bridesmaids on the groom's side sat on the left and right sides of the bride, each holding two red lanterns with candles lit, while the two bridesmaids on the bride's side sat in the second Bentley, also holding red lanterns with candles lit.
On the way to pick up the bride, someone will keep lighting the candle in the lantern, which means a happy and lasting marriage.
"Beauty, give me the shoes, give them to me."
"Beauty, I'm more handsome than him, please give me the shoes."
"Beauty, give me the shoes, I'll split it with you when I get the stuff."
"Beauty, excuse me, the shoes are mine."
"Kao, Lao Chu, you don't follow the rules."
“.”
Feng Erdai and others, who had long been familiar with the customs, hid the shoes and fruit bags of the bride and four bridesmaids early, waiting to redeem the things from them before the wedding banquet began in the evening.
The driver who was responsible for driving the truck to transport the fake items naturally also hid a few important items, preparing to exchange them for red envelopes, cigarettes, and wedding candies in the evening.
Zhou Youfa, who was in charge of the wedding procession, didn't care at all about this. He even asked relatives and friends to hide their things and not lose them.
"Beep, beep."
At this time, Zhou Anan, who was in the lead car, honked the horn twice, signaling the father behind to deal with the onlookers blocking the way in front and several small cars blocking the road.
Although Longyu Tiancheng is considered an upscale residential area in the urban area of Lizhou, there are also people who come to make a fuss about the bride-welcoming ceremony. The host family is always polite about such behavior and regards it as a festive occasion as long as the other party does not go too far.
“Thank you all for coming to join in the fun!!!”
"Thank you, it's just a token of my appreciation."
Zhou Youfa, who knew the process, was well prepared. He took a big bag of wedding candy and bulk Liqun and distributed them, and soon made the people blocking the road in front of the convoy drive away.
“Come on, come on.”
As the driver of the first car, Zhou Anan could not violate the rules of picking up the bride just to save money for his cousin.
The so-called "refueling" is just a benefit for drivers.
If Huazi is given enough, the team will naturally be able to move forward.
"You can refuel next time when you are out of town."
Zhou Youliang, the team leader, took out two packs of cigarettes and handed them to his son, saying seriously.
"OK."
Zhou Anan accepted Huazi with a smile, and of course she wouldn't go too far.
Then, Zhou Youliang gave each driver two packs of cigarettes and the convoy continued to move forward.
The city roads were very empty in the afternoon. Zhou Anan and others quickly drove to the edge of the village and waited for the time to come before entering the village. During this time, they refueled three times on the road.
Since Zhoushui Village restricts the entry of foreign vehicles into the village, they are all arranged in the newly opened large parking lot and on both sides of the provincial road, so the paths in the village are not crowded.
However, the villagers who had received the news long ago had already set up barriers near the entrance of the village, and many tourists who came to watch the fun gathered on the old main road of the village.
It took the convoy half an hour to get from the city to the entrance of Zhoushui Village, and it took nearly an hour to get from the entrance of Zhoushui Village to Zhou Shun's home next to the village square.
Zhou Youliang's voice was almost hoarse from bargaining with the villagers who blocked the road. During this time, he asked the groom Zhou Shun to run over and deliver a backpack of Liqun to replenish ammunition, and only then did they successfully remove the obstacles.
At 3:30 in the afternoon, the motorcade stopped at the door of Zhou Shun's house on time, and the groom Zhou Shun carried the bride upstairs.
The second generation who completed their tasks also gathered together to drink tea and chat.
"Daan, next time you get married, we won't be so easy to talk to."
Feng He said with a smile, "After going through the wedding process in the hometown of the great Yuanlao, he found it very interesting."
If it were at their home, it wouldn't be such an interesting experience.
By the way, it was his first time driving a wedding car and the experience was quite novel.
"That's right. I only drove six packs of Huazi along the way. For Brother Zhou's wedding, he needs at least six."
"Yes, Brother Zhou must be graceful when getting married."
"Rokujo Hanako, that's the most basic."
"Six Huazi are not enough, we need at least six Huanghelou."
"Alas, how can you do this? I think perfection is in line with Brother Zhou's identity, and ten supremes are almost the same."
"You guys are going too far. Ten pieces can show Brother Zhou's status. There must be a box."
"Yes, I think one box can show Brother Zhou's sincerity."
"Don't make a fuss. I'll take charge of the first car for Brother Zhou's wedding."
"I say, Lao Li, when did you become so shameless?"
"I'll order one, too."
“.”
A group of second-generations gathered together, and the topic quickly shifted from Zhou Anan's future wedding to the question of who has the thickest skin. As half of the parties involved, Zhou Anan and Miss Wang sat there quietly drinking tea, which was quite comfortable.
As there were so many guests at the wedding banquet, it was naturally not held in the village, but at the higher-end Lizhou Hotel in the city, with nearly 50 tables.
The members of the Tang Dynasty Club alone occupied 9 tables, and the actual number of people who came was much more than the previous statistics of the group.
"Congratulations."
"I wish you a happy marriage."
"Happy wedding!"
"I wish the bride and groom a happy marriage!"
"I wish you a baby soon!"
As the bride and groom, Zhou Shun and Qian Yuqin stood at the door of the banquet hall early waiting for the guests to enter, while the four bridesmaids next to them were responsible for keeping the red envelopes and records.
Feng He and others arrived earlier, and they all handed a thin red envelope to the groom.
The elders in the group strictly forbid red envelopes with amounts exceeding five digits, and a simple red envelope cannot contain much cash, but that does not mean they cannot write a check for 99999.
Beforehand, everyone discussed privately and reached a unanimous agreement on the red envelopes.
99999, no more, no less, forever.
Chen Peizhi, who was in charge of temporarily keeping the red envelope, felt something strange. She secretly took a look at the check inside and went up to the groom in surprise and whispered a few words.
Such a huge number, can it be fake?
"Mom, come here for a moment."
Zhou Shun was also shocked after taking a look at the red envelope. He discussed it with his wife next to him and called his mother Li Aili who was not far away.
Tell me, why are there so many friends who vote for this book? It would be better to vote for my new book "Rebirth 2011". Why, why, why? ? ?
