Chapter 294: Wedding
The wedding was scheduled for a week after they got their marriage certificate.
When a few gossipy family members in the army heard that the wedding was so rushed, they thought that most of them would not take it too seriously and just hastily hire a few chefs, set up two tables of banquets, and hurriedly eat and consider the ceremony complete.
In this era, being able to go to a department store and buy a well-fitting Lenin suit with three bells and a turn when getting married was already considered a great achievement.
Unexpectedly, Yan Ye's wedding was held in a grand manner. The gongs and drums started in the morning, and a master of ceremonies was specially invited. Even three groomsmen were invited. As one of the groomsmen, Wang Jianhua even put on a suit and tie, and it really looked like a real wedding.
In addition to the best man, Yan Ye also specially gathered a few cars. He originally wanted to arrange thirty cars to drive around the capital, but that would be too ostentatious, so Xu Xiaoyue persuaded him not to do so.
However, despite this, the fact that four or five wedding cars came specifically to pick up the bride was still eye-catching enough.
This was the first of its kind in the entire army, and even the girls in the art troupe couldn't help but be curious and envious.
The wedding banquet was held in a state-owned restaurant. Yan Ye booked the place, and several chefs discussed the dishes a few days in advance. It's not like they haven't been responsible for wedding banquets before, but they were always eaten at home. Preparing seven or eight dishes and having two tables of people was already very prestigious.
This time was different from the past. There were about thirty tables, and the only request for the dishes was to cook more meat dishes.
Even after several months, those who attended the wedding banquet still drool when they think about it.
Meat dishes like braised tripe with soy sauce, pork elbow, roast duck and roast chicken were served up in plates as if they were free. Cigarettes, alcohol and tea were indispensable. Even the wedding candies on display were not fruit candies at one dollar per pound, but White Rabbit milk candies that could only be bought with candy coupons in state-owned supermarkets.
He Zhiyu also came here with her eldest brother. She didn't want to come at first, but Grandpa He forced her to come and repeatedly told her to build a good relationship with Xu Xiaoyue.
He Zhiyu bit her teeth hard, swallowed down her anger, took the wedding gift specially prepared by Mr. He, and came with He Zhishu.
"Didn't they say that Commander Yan married a country girl and didn't value her?"
"I also heard that the new bride was originally the one that the youngest daughter of the Yan family had arranged to marry, but then she was replaced for some reason."
Several people were talking to each other.
Someone interrupted and said, "Even if they don't care, they still ordered five cars and gave a betrothal gift of 300 yuan. Add to that the banquet, and it will cost at least 1,800 yuan."
The implication is that if this is considered as not taking it seriously, then isn't it even more shabby for them to just hastily set up two tables and call it a wedding?
The few people who were still making sarcastic remarks suddenly fell silent.
The sound of firecrackers rang out, and the whole street instantly began to be filled with the sound of gongs and drums.
Yan Ye was wearing a neat suit and looked energetic and neat. The man was walking in front. When he saw the car coming, he strode forward and opened the door. He held the front of the car with one hand and carefully got out of the car holding the bride's hand with the other.
The guests who were originally leaning their heads to look over here secretly, all widened their eyes the moment their eyes fell on the bride.
Xu Xiaoyue was wearing a pure white gauze dress with a special hairstyle. She stepped out of the car with the gauze dress trailing behind her, looking holy and inviolable.
In that era, people wore Lenin suits when getting married, so she specially asked Aunt Zhang to make this gauze skirt for her, and she modified it according to her imagination.
Although it is a skirt, the shoulders and arms are not exposed at all. It will only look good when worn and will not cause any controversy about being immoral.
This kind of trendy skirt was the first time for many people to see it. Even He Zhiyu couldn't help but stare at it. After she realized what was going on, she began to feel secretly jealous.
I don’t know how Xu Xiaoyue could be so lucky that she could even hook up with Yan Ye. Now she can be said to have turned from a wild chicken into a phoenix.
As for the other unmarried gay men, they stared at them intently. Who would have thought that Yan Ye, who usually wanted to stay eight hundred meters away from female lesbians, could actually be so tender.
They all thought that Yan Ye would probably never get married and start a family in his life, but who knew that he would find such a beautiful wife.
It turns out that it’s not that I don’t want to get married, but that I haven’t met the one I really like.
Xu Xiaoyue had no idea about these people's psychology. She held Yan Ye's hand and stepped out of the car.
She designed her own makeup and look today. She also permed her bangs and combed her hair into a flower bud style bun at the back, looking delicate and cute.
White wedding dresses are quite picky about skin tone. If you are a little darker, it will look a little strange.
Fortunately, Xu Xiaoyue is naturally fair-skinned. After putting on makeup and dressing up carefully, she looks even more dazzlingly white when standing in the crowd. She has lipstick on her lips, and her bright red lips are like ripe peaches, bright red, pure and sexy.
As they walked along, everyone's eyes were on the newlyweds.
After a long while, someone finally said, "This bride is really pretty."
"The skirt she is wearing is so beautiful too. I wonder where she bought it." The little girl said with a hint of envy.
A skirt like this is enough to be stunning at first sight.
When worn by Xu Xiaoyue, it is no exaggeration to say that she looks like a fairy from heaven.
Liu Ye sat in the chair. Both parents of the Yan family had passed away, and she, as the sister-in-law, became the only elder.
Listening to the exclamations around her, Liu Ye couldn't help but sigh that Xu Xiaoyue was lucky.
A man loves you and is willing to spend money on you.
As a sister-in-law, she is not a mother-in-law after all, and she cannot control the two of them too much. Instead, the young couple lives an easy life.
Xu Xiaoyue had her lips raised the whole way, and no matter who she looked at, she looked well-behaved and polite.
Yan Ye carefully held her hand in front, and looked back at the hem of the girl's skirt from time to time, as if he was afraid that something was not done well.
Apart from getting the marriage certificate, today was the happiest day for him. He now had a wife and children. They were now a legitimate couple, and from now on they were tied together, and no one could separate them.
Yan Ye's anxious heart finally felt like a huge stone had fallen to the ground, and he felt a sense of belonging.
The man was in a good mood, so good that even when facing He Zhishu and Lu Zhao, he was still able to maintain a smile on his face and drink glass after glass of wine.
Throughout the entire banquet, the only person with a serious expression was probably Yan Shuli.
Yan Shuli had a stiff face and tried to force a smile, but it looked uglier than crying.
After all, he was still a step too slow. When he wanted to win back Xu Xiaoyue, she had become someone else's wife.
