Chapter 178 Wang Xinxin Gets Married
Lu Xiao's study arrangements are mainly for his personal improvement.
The army has this quota every year, and Lu Xiao has never applied for it before.
This time it turned out to be an unexpected success.
His superiors had assigned him a six-month study task, and it was a confidential project, so he couldn't call Su Tang.
More than a month after Lu Xiao left the Northwest, the Lu family held a full-moon banquet for little Cheng'an.
After the lively event, it was Wang Xinxin's turn to get married.
The Lu family joined forces to buy all kinds of dowry for Wang Xinxin.
Su Tang also gave her a red cheongsam that she had bought at that time.
The regulations are not so strict now, and you can wear cheongsam.
This is not a high slit, but Wang Xinxin looks particularly beautiful in it.
According to the rules, Wang Xinxin and Chen Zhengnian were not allowed to meet before getting married.
So Chen Zhengnian could only find Su Tang and ask her to deliver messages from time to time.
Su Tang joked with a smile, saying that he had become the head of the secret service and was the one who introduced them to each other.
After the excitement, Su Tang would also think of Lu Xiao.
She and Lu Xiao had never been separated for so long.
The pull of distance brings endless longing.
On the day Wang Xinxin got married, the place was extremely lively.
Wang Xinxin sat on the edge of the kang covered with a bright red quilt, twisting the smooth satin of the cheongsam she was wearing with her fingers.
It was bright red, with a nipped waist and a stand-up collar, which made her face look rosy and stunningly beautiful.
"Look at our bride."
Mother Wang came in, still holding a handful of unscattered wedding candy in her hand, but her eyes were red.
"This dress looks like it came out of a painting. Tangtang has good taste."
After saying that, Mother Wang stepped forward and stuffed a big red envelope into Wang Xinxin's hand.
"Take it. If you go to someone's house and get wronged and don't have enough money, use your own money so they don't look down on you."
That was the savings that Wang's mother had accumulated for half her life, waiting to give it to Wang Xinxin when she got married.
Before he could finish his words, there was a noise outside the courtyard gate that was loud enough to blow the roof off the house.
The sound of gongs and drums was deafening, mixed with the men's powerful roars and roars of laughter.
"Here he comes! The groom is here to pick up the bride!"
Someone in the yard shouted at the top of his lungs, and the entire Lu family compound instantly became boiling.
Chen Zhengnian was wearing a neat military uniform with a big red flower pinned on his chest.
Following behind him was a row of young men who were also wearing neat military uniforms and had bright eyes.
They are all carefully selected handsome guys as groomsmen.
The momentum was not that of a wedding, but more like a battle of decisive importance.
"Open the door! Sister-in-law! Open the door quickly! Our Chen Lu is here to pick up the bride!"
The groomsmen banged on the door, bang bang bang, with such force that it seemed as if they were going to break it down.
Inside the door, Su Tang, along with a group of young women and wives from the compound, blocked the way and shouted back through the crack in the door, "What's the rush? Where's the red envelope? You want to take our Xinxin away without a red envelope? No way!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Enough!"
Chen Zhengnian waved his hand, and thick red envelopes whizzed in from under the door like snowflakes.
The girls screamed and tried to grab it, but Su Tang sat back and watched, his voice rising an octave: "A red envelope alone won't do. You have to show sincerity! Sing a love song for us!"
There was silence outside the door for a moment, and then even louder laughter broke out.
Let a group of Northwestern men who are used to shouting slogans on a daily basis sing love songs?
This is more difficult than asking them to do an armed cross-country race of ten kilometers.
Chen Zhengnian's face flushed. He cleared his throat and said boldly, "Sister, just go forward bravely! Go forward! Don't look back..."
The voice was loud, but the tune was so out of place that it made everyone inside and outside the room burst into laughter.
This is not a love song at all. If you don’t know, you might think it’s a slogan.
"No, no! Chen Lu, your tone has gone beyond the Helan Mountains!"
The girls in the door were laughing so hard that they bent over. It was a rare opportunity to tease Chen Zhengnian, so they tried their best.
The situation remained deadlocked until a clever groomsman rolled his eyes and suddenly spoke up: "Listen, the horn of a new journey is blowing..."
The majestic melody was instantly picked up by a group of loud voices, in unison and with great momentum: "The goal of a strong army calls to us from the front!"
The girls blocking the door were startled by the sudden song, then they laughed so hard that they fell down, and after a few more symbolic noises, they finally opened the door with a smile.
Chen Zhengnian was the first to rush in, his eyes burning as he went straight to his beloved who was sitting on the edge of the kang in a gorgeous dress with a rosy cheek.
He walked up to Wang Xinxin and looked at the dazzling red cheongsam.
This dress made her look more beautiful than the geranium. His throat was a little tight, and after holding it in for a long time, he only managed to squeeze out one powerful sentence.
"Xinxin! I'm here to marry you!"
He stretched out his big hand and steadily picked up the bride.
Wang Xinxin let out a low cry, and subconsciously wrapped her arms around his neck. The corners of her mouth curved up, revealing a row of white teeth in her smile.
The yard suddenly exploded with whistles, cheers, and the sound of gongs and drums.
Mother Lu smiled helplessly: "Look at this silly boy! He put all his energy into this!"
The wedding banquet was held in the large dining hall, with dozens of tables filled to the brim.
Father Lu was chosen as the witness. Standing in front of the makeshift wedding stage, he spoke in a resounding voice: "Comrade Chen Zhengnian, Comrade Wang Xinxin, from now on, you are revolutionary partners! You must respect and love each other and make progress together!"
After the ceremony, the newlyweds toasted each table.
Chen Zhengnian brought Wang Xinxin to the main table first.
Mother Wang looked at her daughter wearing a bright red cheongsam and being protected by her tall and handsome son-in-law. She could no longer hold back her tears and her voice choked with sobs.
"My Xinxin... my Xinxin... Zhengnian, you must treat her well..."
These words were said with such sadness and sincerity that the people around him laughed and wiped their eyes.
Wang Xinxin's eyes also turned red, and she held her mother's hand tightly: "Mom..."
Chen Zhengnian straightened his back, picked up his wine glass, and said solemnly, "Mom, don't worry! I, Chen Zhengnian, guarantee with my military honor that I will never let Xinxin down in this life!"
Looking up, he finished the glass of white wine in one gulp.
Then Wang Xinxin followed Chen Zhengnian to toast Chen's father and mother, and Chen's mother smiled and handed over a thick red envelope.
When the toast arrived at the table where Su Tang was sitting, Su Tang was holding little Cheng'an.
The little guy was wearing a festive red bellyband, and his big eyes like black grapes were watching the excitement curiously.
Su Tang pushed his son into Lu Ma's arms, picked up the juice and stood up.
Her eyes moved, with a mischievous smile on her face, and she deliberately raised her chin towards the groomsmen behind Chen Zhengnian.
"I say, you have to keep an eye on your Chen Brigade. Our Xinxin is now an organized person. It's not easy for us to be military wives, but we have bright eyes!"
The young men in the groomsmen group burst into laughter and patted their chests, saying, "Don't worry, sister-in-law!"
"You can't run away with us here!"
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
Chen Zhengnian also laughed, waved his hand, and drank another glass, but his eyes fell quietly on Wang Xinxin, full of tenderness.
