…
Baoshan Village.
Deng Shilan and her family have packed their bags and are ready to go to Beijing to attend Deng Yunsong's wedding.
Whether it is the rural people of this era or the rural people of later generations, it is not easy to travel far away. The popular "go-anywhere" travel in later generations is only suitable for city dwellers, not rural people.
Because when rural people want to travel far away, they have to worry about too many things, such as feeding the pigs and dogs at home, feeding the chickens and ducks, and watering the vegetables. If it is the busy farming season, they also have to sow seeds, plant rice, harvest rice, and dry grain, etc.
In short, no rural person can go out with peace of mind without making proper arrangements.
Although Deng Shilan's family has long been the richest in Baoshan Village, as a rural family, she naturally raises livestock such as pigs, dogs, chickens and ducks, and grows various vegetables in the vegetable fields. The most important thing is that their family also grows hundreds of acres of sugarcane like in previous years.
With so many things to worry about, how can you feel at ease going on a long journey without leaving someone at home? Fortunately, Deng Shilan had arranged everything. At this time, she looked at her eldest daughter-in-law's mother and said, "Mother-in-law, you will have to work hard at home!"
Mother Liu said with a smile on her face: "You are welcome, mother-in-law. It is rare for us to go to the capital this time, so you have to stay there for a few more days. I am at home, so you can rest assured."
Deng Shilan said happily: "I do plan to have a good time there for a few days this time. After all, it is the capital. I may only go there once in my life. If I come back without taking a good look, it will be a waste of my trip."
While the two families were talking, everyone in the village knew that Deng Shilan's family was going to the capital to attend the wedding of her nephew from her mother's side, and they all gathered around to express their envy.
After all, Deng Shilan and his family went to the capital. For the people of Guangxi, who live in a border area, the capital, which is thousands of miles away, has a special status. Especially for those rural people who may not even have been to a county town, the capital is like the holy land of martial arts in martial arts novels.
Even in later times, ordinary rural people could go to the capital and brag about it to the gossips of the old ladies in the village for several days. In this era, if you could go to the capital, you could brag about it to the old ladies in the village for years, not to mention a few days.
Soon, Deng Shilan and his family got on a truck with their luggage and, under the envious gaze of the villagers, went to Shuangwang to take a bus to Nanning.
…
At this time, a similar scene was happening in Zhouwang Village.
Brothers Chen Dacong and Chen Daming also brought their family to Beijing to attend their third nephew's wedding amid the envious gazes of the villagers.
…
Naye Village.
Deng Yungui, Deng Yunqiang, Deng Yunfeng, Deng Yunjun and other clansmen also carried their luggage and set off for the capital with beaming faces.
…
Bobai New Village.
Zhang Guangzong and Zhang Guofu, the chef of Suifeng Hotel, also put on their most respectable clothes, packed their luggage and prepared to meet up with the boss Deng Yunzhen and others, and then set off together.
…
On the afternoon of the twelfth day of the fifth lunar month, Deng's relatives and friends finally arrived in the capital.
Deng Shirong first arranged for everyone to have dinner at the restaurant before taking them to his third son's courtyard.
Half an hour later, everyone was moved by the festively decorated courtyard in front of them.
Because when they came, Deng Shirong told them that this was the place where the wedding would be held, and it was also the wedding room he prepared for Deng Yunsong.
To be honest, those who are qualified to come to Beijing to attend the wedding are basically the closest relatives and good friends, who have all seen the Deng family’s mansions in Bobai and Nanning.
Although this courtyard house in Beijing is quite beautiful and has a large area, it is still quite far from the 3,000 square meter mansion in Nanning. It should not be enough to impress these relatives and friends.
However, don't forget where this is, this is the capital! The houses in Nanning and Bobai are incomparable to the houses here.
But then again, all the relatives and friends were only slightly moved, but far from being shocked. They even felt that the house was natural. After all, everyone present knew Deng Shirong's financial resources, so buying a house here was the most normal thing.
Next, Deng Shirong arranged rooms for his relatives and friends one by one. The three-in-one courtyard house he bought was a relatively large one with more than thirty rooms. Even if the main room had to be reserved for the bride and groom and no one else could live in it, the rest of the rooms were enough to accommodate many relatives and friends.
Because his second son and his family would not arrive until tomorrow, and Deng Shirong did not want others to know that he had six other courtyard houses like this, he was not in a hurry to allocate houses to his children. It would not be too late to allocate houses to them after his second son and his family arrived tomorrow and his third son's wedding was held the day after tomorrow.
…
The next day.
Deng Yunheng, his wife, children and Deng Damei boarded a plane to Beijing.
…
Now, as his children are getting married one after another, the number of relatives in Deng Shirong's family is increasing. However, this time, the wedding of his third son is not planned to be a big one, so he only invited the closest relatives and did not invite his children's in-laws.
By the time the second son and his family arrived, all the people on their side were present.
"dad!"
After Gu Caiwei greeted him, she taught her son, "A-Mao (many cousins think Ergou's nickname is ugly, so they change it), call me grandpa."
Deng Changmao was only a few days away from being 15 months old. Perhaps he had inherited his parents' high IQ, and he could already speak a lot. When he heard his mother say that, he shouted, "Grandpa!"
Deng Shirong responded with a smile on his face, then stretched out his hand to him and said, "My dear grandson, come and give grandpa a hug."
Although he didn't have much impression of his grandfather, Deng Changmao was never afraid of strangers. When he saw his grandfather reaching out for a hug, he smiled and waved his little hands and leaned forward.
Seeing this, Deng Shirong held him up high, making him giggle, and he obviously found it very funny.
Whether in his past life or this life, Deng Shirong was pretty good to his children, but he was never too close to them. Instead, he was closer to his grandchildren.
This idea of grandparents being closer is obviously not groundless and does have its truth.
He played with his grandson for a while and fed him half a bowl of porridge until he was too sleepy to sleep, then he handed him over to Deng Damei, who was responsible for taking care of him.
On the other side, Deng Yunheng looked at his third brother and smiled, "Xiaosong, congratulations. You just became a deputy director and are getting married soon. It's really a double happiness!"
As soon as Deng Yunsong said this, before he could reply, Deng Yunzhu asked in surprise, "Xiaosong, you were promoted to deputy director? When did it happen?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Haidong stared at his third brother-in-law with his eyes widened. This third brother-in-law started working two or three years later than him, but he was still a section chief with no signs of promotion, while this third brother-in-law took the lead and became a deputy director. Is it so unreasonable for this top student who graduated from Tsinghua University to be promoted?
Zhu Junjie's eyelids also twitched. Back then, he was at the same level as his second brother-in-law, but after a few years, his third brother-in-law has caught up with him. Fortunately, his promotion has also been in sight, and the result will be announced next month at the latest, otherwise the pressure on him as a brother-in-law will be too great.
Although my third brother-in-law will catch up with him and surpass him sooner or later, that is a matter for the future.
The other brothers and sisters also looked at Deng Yunsong happily. Their family is becoming more and more prosperous.
Deng Yunsong smiled and replied, "I was promoted to deputy director last month, which is nothing. I am still a whole level lower than my second brother!"
Deng Yunheng smiled and said, "I just worked a few years longer than you, and I was lucky. When you get married tomorrow, our family will have another deputy director-level official. This is not only a double happiness, but a triple happiness."
Deng Yunzhu said excitedly: "Xiaosong, your wife has also been promoted to deputy director?"
Deng Yunsong smiled and nodded, "Yes, we were promoted together."
Deng Yunzhu smiled and said, "Amazing, really amazing!"
Zhou Haidong was very excited at this moment. His father-in-law's family had two more deputy division-level officials. This momentum was simply incredible, far surpassing their Zhou family.
Deng Yuntai, Zhang Xiuping, Deng Yunzhen, Zhu Junjie and the rest, one by one, became excited.
Suddenly having two more deputy directors in the family is a huge happy event for 99% of families. It is hard not to be happy and excited.
Deng Shirong also heard his children chatting. He was not surprised at all to hear that his third son and daughter-in-law were both promoted to deputy directors.
After all, the in-laws had already told their third son and daughter-in-law about this when they set the wedding date.
Now, Deng Shirong feels it necessary to have a chat with his in-laws about their future path.
(Deleted) Thinking of this, Deng Shirong made up his mind that he would talk to his in-laws after the wedding for his third son.
When Deng Shirong's family was excited and happy, their relatives and friends didn't know about it because they had gone out to play together early in the morning.
After all, it is rare for all the relatives and friends to come to Beijing, and it is unknown whether they will have the opportunity to come again in the future. Naturally, we must seize the time to walk around and have a look, otherwise after returning from the wedding, when others ask us where we have been in Beijing, we will not be able to answer. Then we can’t brag about it anymore.
In the afternoon, the master chef Zhang Fugui came back, and several chefs that Deng Shirong had found in Beijing also came one after another. Although the wedding would be held tomorrow, they had to start preparing for tomorrow's banquet from now on.
…
Most of the Pei family’s relatives came to the Pei family’s old house.
The Pei family does not have many relatives. Although there are three brothers in Pei's father's generation, the eldest brother died on the battlefield. Pei's father is the second among the brothers. Another younger brother made a big mistake because his son was not ambitious enough. Pei's father refused to come forward to protect his son, which eventually led to the brothers turning against each other and never having any contact with each other until they died.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
So those who came today were all Pei's mother's relatives.
Of course, since Pei Qinghua, the younger sister, was getting married, her eldest brother and his wife and her second brother and his wife naturally rushed back to attend her wedding.
Seeing that his sister was about to get married, Pei Yuanba couldn't help but sigh: "Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, the crying little girl is also going to get married!"
Pei Qinghua blushed and glared at him: "Second brother, stop talking nonsense, who loves to cry?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Pei's father, Pei's mother and eldest brother Pei Yuanlong couldn't help but smile. It was obvious that they all remembered the crybaby little girl.
Because Pei's father and mother had given birth to two sons in a row and welcomed this little daughter eight years later, they naturally doted on her. As a result, she was very spoiled and willful when she was a child. She had to be given whatever she wanted, otherwise she would cry and make a fuss, causing people a lot of headaches.
It was not until he was ten years old that he slowly got rid of this crying habit. Later, he read more books, understood more things, and became more and more outstanding.
Pei Yuanlong said, "Little sister, we haven't met this brother-in-law yet, and we don't know what kind of person he is, but you have to remember that your second brother and I will always be your backers. If your brother-in-law dares to bully you after marriage, you can tell us and we will definitely help you vent your anger."
Pei Yuanba nodded and said, "Brother is right. We will always be your backers, just like when we were kids. If anyone bullies you, come back and tell us. No matter where we are, we will rush over to support you as soon as possible."
Thinking of how her elder and second brothers had always protected her when she was a child, Pei Qinghua said with emotion: "Thank you, elder and second brothers, but you don't have to worry, he won't bully me."
The day before her wedding, the girl was in a very complicated mood and had endless things to say to her family and relatives.
In addition to reminiscing about the past, family members and relatives also give various instructions.
When they talked about touching things, they all wiped away tears quietly.
At night before going to bed, Pei's mother would go to her daughter's room to teach her some knowledge about the boudoir.
In later generations, the Internet is full of resources. A large group of experienced teachers such as Mr. Wu, Ms. Cang, and Mr. Mikami have devoted themselves to producing many educational films, allowing men and women in later generations to learn various skills and become experienced people before they even get married.
At that time, the Internet in China had not yet taken off. Although there were learning materials such as videotapes, except for a few people, most men had never been exposed to this new thing, let alone women.
Especially for women from a family like the Pei family, it is even more impossible for them to come into contact with such things.
Therefore, although Pei Qinghua is not young, her knowledge of the boudoir is actually not as good as that of a junior high school student in later generations.
Therefore, Pei's mother chose to come and teach her daughter some knowledge about the boudoir on the eve of her wedding.
It was a bit awkward for mother and daughter to talk about these things. Pei Qinghua blushed as she listened, and Pei's mother also felt a little uncomfortable.
Soon, Pei's mother simply finished imparting the knowledge, left a sentence "Go to bed early", and left in a hurry.
Pei Qinghua lay on the bed, thinking about what her mother had said would happen that night after she got married. She was both afraid and expectant. She tossed and turned for an unknown amount of time before she fell asleep.
…
May 14th of the lunar calendar, Sunday.
It is suitable for getting married, getting a haircut, decorating, bathing, offering sacrifices, making stoves, coming-of-age ceremonies, and paving roads.
Avoid traveling, planting, and breaking the ground.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the wedding procession set out from the Deng family's courtyard and headed for the Pei family's old house.
This time, the third son's wedding was in Beijing, and the woman's background was not high-profile, so Deng Shirong did not make such a big fuss as he did for his second son's wedding. There were no cars in the wedding procession, only two temporarily rented buses.
We didn't even hire a photography team, we just let our family members take some photos with their cameras as souvenirs.
Picking up the bride was a very lively event. In addition to the Deng family, most of the relatives and friends also went.
I won't say much about the whole bride-picking process, it went very smoothly anyway. No matter now or in the future, as long as the couple has the approval of their parents and truly want to get married, it is impossible for them to really make things difficult for the man during the bride-picking process. The various checkpoints set up in the future are just to add to the fun.
But then again, there are all kinds of birds in the forest, and there are always some people in this world who are confused and really want to make things difficult for the bride and groom with the purpose of breaking up the bride and groom.
The rule in Bobai is to complete the "worship ceremony" before noon, and it just so happens that the capital also has similar rules.
It's not even eleven o'clock yet when we bring the bride back.
After entering the courtyard, the girl's family and relatives all showed surprised expressions, even Pei's father, Pei's mother and Pei Qinghua who had already been to the courtyard were no exception.
The courtyard at this time was decorated very festively and beautifully, with red lanterns, happiness decorations, potted flowers, Chinese knots, paper-cuts, red window grilles, paper lotus lanterns, butterfly lanterns, red porcelain and other items used just right.
There is also a background wall decorated with large flower-shaped "囍" and "囍" character stickers, as well as some fresh flowers, green leaves and calligraphy works as embellishments, creating a comfortable and romantic atmosphere. You can tell at a glance that this arrangement was thoughtfully put into it.
After the bride was brought back, the distinguished guests invited by the bride's family also arrived one after another. The identities and status of these distinguished guests were extraordinary.
(Deleted) This also shows how powerful the Pei family’s network of connections is.
After all, it is not something that can be achieved with ordinary relationships. If the relationship is not in place, even if you personally invite the other party to attend the wedding, at most they will only be present as a gift but not in person. But now that the person is here in person, it is enough to explain the problem.
(Deleted) But he never expected that the Deng family was even more awesome than he had imagined. Although the scene of the third son’s wedding was far from comparable to that of the second son, it was simply incredible.
(Deleted) At this moment, County Magistrate Song was extremely excited.
He must do his best to make friends with the Deng family. After Uncle Jiu's eldest son-in-law is promoted to the county magistrate and settle down for a year or two, he will take the initiative to retreat to the second line and then help Uncle Jiu's eldest son-in-law take the position. Anyway, he is about to retire, so retiring to the second line more than a year in advance is not a big deal.
As the parent of the groom, Deng Shirong naturally had to greet each of the guests when they came.
His mental age is over a hundred years old and he has lived two lives. He has also had dinner and chatted with his second son's leader. He speaks naturally and freely and is not at all stage-frightened.
Pei's father naturally saw Deng Shirong's calm and composed performance, and his evaluation of this relative-in-law soared again. But this relative-in-law did it.
(Deleted) Soon, the wedding ceremony began.
As the parent of the groom, Deng Shirong was the first to go on stage and speak. His speech was relatively simple, mainly blessing the newlyweds and thanking the guests who came to the wedding, then leaving the stage to the parents of the bride.
Pei's father's speech was slightly longer than Deng Shirong's, and the content was basically the same, both blessing the newlyweds and expressing gratitude to the guests.
Then the bride and groom expressed their gratitude and got married in the presence of all the guests.
The third daughter-in-law of the Deng family is married back! (End of this chapter)
