Twin flowers blossom, bond of destiny.
The heavy vermilion gate is made even more festive by the bright red couplets on both sides.
Today is a good day. Although the marriage of Commander Shao’s youngest son has not been publicized in a big way, it has not been deliberately concealed either. Basically, those who are well-informed know about it.
In the past two days, there have been endless calls of congratulations. Even the military families in the family compound have come in groups of three or four to inquire about the bride.
Gao Qing did not hide it either. Whenever someone asked her about it, she would spare no effort to praise her and express her satisfaction with her future daughter-in-law to everyone.
After some people found out about the girl's family background and heard that she was admitted to Beijing Foreign Studies University, they became surprised.
The kind that makes your eyes turn red with envy.
People who are not well-informed these days may not know the value of BFSU, but these people, even if they are not from J City, have taken root here for many years.
I understand the difference between universities.
When thinking about it this way, some people may say congratulations on the surface, but they may feel jealous behind the scenes.
For example, the Shao family usually seems to be very humble, but in fact they are very particular about family background.
After much selection, the youngest son finally picked the one with the best conditions in all aspects at the age of 31.
I just don't know what the bride looks like. I don't think she will look very good. After all, there is no such thing as perfection in this world.
There is also the eldest son of the Shao family, who is already 33 years old and has become a top-class pilot. It is not known whether he will have to wait until he is 40 years old to choose a job.
In a nutshell, to put it simply, I just can't stand seeing others living better than myself.
Of course, the families who had a close relationship with Gao Qing and received invitations to the wedding all knew that the bride was the same beautiful girl who had come to the staff quarters four or five years ago and who made people unable to take their eyes off her.
They wanted to explain this to everyone.
At least it can be said clearly that the couple is truly in love, and Yu Yu is the most beautiful girl.
But Gao Qing stopped her good sisters. In her words, there was no need to explain family matters to others.
But people who know her temper say that she is mean and mean, and she clearly wants to embarrass those who are secretly watching her make fun of her.
But...it is indeed quite interesting.
So, on the eighth day of the New Year, several women who were invited ran to the Shao family early.
Help and watch the fun at the same time.
= The wedding of the Shao and Chen families was very low-key, with only six tables, mostly filled with relatives and friends.
The Shao family consulted Chen Nongmo about the venue for the banquet.
If she wanted to set up a table in a big restaurant, it wouldn't be difficult.
But Chen Nongmo refused.
First, she doesn't like to make a fuss, and second, it's still the 1970s, so everything should be kept low-key.
Even the betrothal gifts and dowries of the two families were kept strictly secret from the outside world.
So in the end, the banquet was held at home.
But the daughter-in-law is sensible and considerate, and the Shao family also wants to give her face. So, not only did they put a lot of effort into the dishes, they also specially hired a chef.
This was a courtesy bestowed by General Shao, and the old man personally invited the person.
It is no exaggeration to say that this chef is not much inferior to the state banquet chef.
Gao Qing's cooking skills have been pretty good in the past two years, but at this moment, in front of professionals, she couldn't even help cut vegetables and could only wash them.
"I saw Shao Qiong and his wife. Is your Shao Yue really not coming back?" Several military dependents who came to help pick and wash vegetables gradually started chatting about the equally outstanding eldest and second sons of the Shao family.
Speaking of which, in this age where strength lies in numbers, the Shao family only had two children, which was really too few.
But they can’t resist winning in terms of quality, each one is better than the other.
When talking about the boss, Gao Qing's face flashed with helplessness: "I can't come back. I heard that he has a flight mission."
"That can't be helped. By the way, when will your eldest brother start dating? He's really grown up."
Gao Qing shook her head: "It's up to the child. I urged my second child very hard, but it was useless. It all depends on fate."
What she didn't say was that she had given up on the eldest brother's marriage.
Ever since the eldest son had a frank talk with the old couple about his inner thoughts a few years ago, Gao Qing never forced her children to go on blind dates again.
She was angry, but more than that she felt heartbroken.
"Hey, if you ask me, you have to fight for fate, and take the initiative to meet girls. If you fly to the sky every day, how can you drop a girl?"
As soon as these words came out, several people burst into laughter. Gao Qing patted her friend and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. This makes me angry. Calculating the time, the second child should be at Chen's house by now."
= Shao Zheng has indeed arrived.
Calculate an auspicious time to find someone.
There are rules for the time when the groom leaves the house and the time when the bride comes in.
Shao Zheng left home at 8:58 and had to bring his wife to the Shao family home before 10:58 noon.
Only two hours in total.
Fortunately, the two sides are not far apart, and half an hour is enough for one way.
There is still an hour of spare time in between.
This was too long for Shao Zheng, and he just wished he couldn't hug his bride right away.
But for Chen Nongmo's five brothers, one hour was too short to bear.
"I've been holding it in for more than three years since you got engaged. I've thought of a hundred ways to stop the groom. What's the point of this? Come on, Old Five, let's move on to the eighteenth question." Outside the courtyard, headed by the groom Shao Zheng, there were more than a dozen tall and strong young men. They were all stopped outside the door by the five brothers of the Chen family and were not allowed to enter.
Especially the eldest brother Chen Wuwen, even though he was wearing a righteous military uniform, he couldn't hide his "successful villain" face at the moment.
Chen Yi held back his smile and brought the basin that had been prepared long ago to the door. He smiled at the handsome man wearing a red flower on his chest and dressed up at the bottom of the steps and said, "Brother-in-law, and the bridesmaids, please come in."
After being embarrassed for half an hour, Shao Zheng was anxious, but he still looked at the rice basin on the ground with a good temper: "What is this for?"
Chen Yi smiled and explained, "There are red dates, peanuts and lotus seeds in the millet. Please use your mouths to find them out, my brother-in-law and the bridesmaids."
Seeing that everyone's faces were stiff, he added slowly: "Everyone, please be careful. We will need to eat these millets after washing them. Don't waste them."
As he spoke, Chen Yi's eyes swept over the crowd of onlookers inconspicuously.
He originally planned to use flour, which would at least increase the difficulty.
But the thought was dismissed as soon as it came up.
Millet can be washed and eaten, but flour is difficult to clean up.
Of course, the biggest crisis is the possibility of being reported for wasting food.
Chen Yi, who would never make a stupid mistake, saw the groom and the best man looking at the basin on the ground in embarrassment, so he added more at the right time: "Look at me, I almost forgot to tell my brother-in-law, it is said that eating the candied dates in it means having a son soon."
As soon as these words were spoken, the groom immediately became excited.
Shao Zheng raised his arms and shouted, "Brothers, for your happiness! Charge!"
People always like to be around other people. Shao Zheng got married late, and almost none of his childhood friends or close friends are single.
Therefore, most of the bridesmaids brought along are relatives or younger brothers of childhood friends.
There were more than a dozen people in a row, all of them young and promising.
But at this moment, they all started laughing and lined up to stick their heads into the rice basin.
This funny scene immediately made the people around who were watching the fun cheer and laugh non-stop.
The noisy sounds even reached Chen Nongmo's room.
She was sitting on the wedding bed, wearing a custom-made bright red wool coat.
Considering the tolerance of the times, the clothes are not tailored to be particularly slim-fitting.
But the style reaches the calf, and the length is pulled down, revealing the delicate curves vaguely, which adds a bit of beauty.
At that time, most people wore military uniforms when they got married.
But in recent years, under the pampering of her family and her partner, her personality has become much brighter, and she wants a warm red color for her marriage.
Not only the clothes, but also the top of her hair, which was piled high, was surrounded by several big red flowers.
Ji Mo and Cao Qiuhua, who had been accompanying her the whole time, talked about how beautiful the girl was countless times.
At this moment, the girl, who was so beautiful that she didn't look like her real life, was sitting on the bed with a smile on her face, listening to her brothers making things difficult for her captain Shao.
"Don't you feel sad at all?" Seeing that Sister Qiuhua couldn't help but run out to watch the fun, Ji Mo asked her daughter with a smile.
Chen Nongmo raised the watch on his wrist leisurely: "There is an auspicious time limit. I have to go to my husband's house at 10:58. It won't take long. Besides, Qiuhua's mother is out."
Ji Mo smiled again, this time lovingly. She patted her daughter's hand and said, "My Yu Yu is really smart. Time flies. You're already married."
Hearing this, Chen Nongmo's heart softened, and he reached out to hug her coquettishly: "Even if I get married, I'm still your daughter, so you still have to pamper me."
"Pfft, don't be ashamed." Ji Mo was amused by her daughter. Just when she was about to say something else, she heard cheers from the crowd outside the door.
She was startled and immediately let go of her daughter: "My son-in-law is coming in. Mom will check you again."
Chen Nongmo sat upright and winked at his mother playfully: "How is it? Am I more beautiful now?"
Knowing that her daughter was deliberately trying to make her happy, Ji Mo nodded in agreement: "Beautiful, my daughter is the most beautiful."
At this time, the wedding party had arrived at the bedroom door.
The ones blocking the door and asking for red envelopes were my third sister-in-law Yunchun and one of her cousins.
The two of them were aware that time was tight and had intended to open the door just for the sake of showing their respect.
But unexpectedly, red envelopes were stuffed into the room one after another, without the girl even having to ask for them.
This scene made everyone laugh again, and they all "ridiculed" the groom's impatience.
But Shao Zheng said that it was not easy to marry the girl he had been dreaming of, so he could laugh if he wanted to. How could he be afraid of this? Unexpectedly, his persistent attitude made everyone laugh even more.
This time, even the best man was amused by Shao Zheng's eagerness. At the same time, he couldn't help but become curious about what the bride looked like that made Shao Zheng, who was usually so steady, be so careless.
Thinking of this, everyone started to make a fuss and shouted at the bride to open the door.
Fortunately, Yunchun and her cousin came back to their senses after they were shocked, stuffed a stack of red envelopes into their pockets, reached out to open the door, and let everyone in.
Seeing the door open, Shao Zheng straightened his clothes and strode in.
But when his eyes fell on the girl sitting on the bed with a beautiful smile on her face, he was completely stunned.
They have been in love for so long, but he has never seen his girl wear makeup.
In the past, her temperament was elegant, like a noble lady floating down from a painting of court ladies, and he thought he liked girls like that.
But at this moment, the passionate Yu Yu in front of him still made his heart beat out of control.
At this moment, Shao Zheng was extremely sure that he just liked this girl named Chen Nongmo.
No matter what she looks like , "Hahaha! The groom must be stunned, right? But the bride is indeed pretty!"
I don't know who spoke, but everyone was stunned in an instant.
The bridesmaids cheered and laughed, but at the same time they were extremely envious. They all complained in their hearts, wondering why Shao Zheng worked so hard and yet had no shame.
If this was their bride, she would fight even harder than this!
After coming back to his senses, Shao Zheng ignored the commotion behind him. He strode forward, bent down and extended his hand to the person, saying in a gentle tone: "Yu Yu, I'm here to take you home."
Due to environmental constraints, it was impossible to carry the baby out, but Chen Nongmo was not disappointed. He raised his hand and placed his hand on the baby with a smile on his face.
Suddenly, the small room was filled with thunderous applause and cheers. = The wedding procession was carried out in four military jeeps.
This was also the only high-profile thing about this marriage.
Shao Zheng led the person out of the bedroom, out of the living room, and then out of the yard.
After stepping out of the door, he took his wife's hand and said goodbye to the elders and several uncles. He solemnly promised to love his wife all his life, and accepted the "threats" of the five uncles one by one. Then he got into the car with Yu Yu, who had red eyes, and set off.
"Don't cry, your parents will come in the car behind, and we will have a feast later." After the car drove out, Shao Zheng didn't let go of her hand and comforted her in a gentle voice.
At times like this, even if you are mentally prepared, you will still feel your nose sore when the atmosphere is created.
Especially, she just saw her mother and Qiuhua's mother wiping away tears.
Thinking of this, Chen Nongmo turned his head back, leaned his face on his shoulder, and said in a muffled tone: "I'll just take a break."
In fact, at this moment, she wanted a hug more, but the person driving the car was her father-in-law's guard, so she still had to save face.
Shao Zheng pinched her fingertips and asked softly, "Do you want a hug?"
It is no exaggeration to say that Chen Nongmo clearly felt the car shake slightly.
Apparently the guard driving the car didn't expect to hear such explosive words.
Yes, in this era, it is definitely explosive. Look how scared the young man is.
Because of this, Chen Nongmo was so amused that he started laughing.
She sat up straight, patted him lightly, and said with a smile, "Shut up."
Shao Zheng smiled and cooperated: "Okay."
I felt relieved in my heart, just smiled. = Military compound.
The guests are basically all here.
Gao Qing and her husband stood at the door waiting for the newlyweds.
"Why haven't you arrived yet? There are only 5 minutes left."
Shao Wei'an patted his wife soothingly and said, "You don't know your son yet. He will definitely arrive at the door on time at 58 minutes."
Gao Qing knew that, after all, when calculating the time to find someone, people said that the more accurate the time, the better the meaning.
Given how much the second son cares about his daughter-in-law, he will definitely set time limits.
But she was worried. She was really afraid that this kid would exceed the time limit.
Thinking of this, Gao Qing looked at her watch again, and her heart ached.
There is only one minute left. Is that brat really going to exceed the time limit?
Just when I was thinking about how to deal with him, someone suddenly shouted:
"Here comes the bride! Here comes the bride!"
This sound was like pressing a start button.
Not only Gao Qing and Shao Wei'an, but also many of the guests who were sitting in the house waiting for the bride ran out and looked at the first military jeep.
The adults were more reserved, but the naughty kids in the compound didn't care. They gathered outside the car window and looked inside at the bride.
After seeing the bride's appearance clearly.
The little kid, who was only seven or eight years old, laughed and shouted, "What a beautiful bride!"
As soon as this was said, everyone burst into laughter and started to joke. "Huzi, do you still know what beautiful means?"
"Our Huzi wants to get married at such a young age?"
"Haha, the little brat is still peeing on the kang, right?"
As soon as these words were spoken, even louder laughter was heard.
The kid named Hu Zi, who was being teased, got so angry that he jumped up and down and retorted that he had stopped wetting the bed a long time ago.
But the adults had already started to show their bad taste and would not listen to any explanation.
They started the second wave of teasing.
The chubby little guy was so angry that he scratched his ears and cheeks. Chen Nongmo looked outside the car and smiled.
She thought, even though her wedding had no firecrackers, balloons or flowers.
But in the crowded crowd, the smile on everyone's face is beautiful enough.
Shao Zheng looked at his young wife and said gently, "We're home. Shall we get off?"
Chen Nongmo smiled and said, "Okay, Captain Shao."
