Chapter 152152 The Wedding is in Progress
Song Yuling suddenly became nervous.
Because in addition to the sound of car horns, other residents in the alley also came out to watch the fun.
The whole alley was filled with discussions.
Some people were curious about who the family was getting married to, as they had never seen anyone living there, and it turned out that the daughter of this family was getting married.
Some people also exclaimed at the car driving in from outside.
"With this style, the family that married the daughter-in-law must be of no ordinary family." A gray-haired lady muttered.
The person standing next to her said, "I've seen him a few times. He was wearing a military uniform. His family members came over as well, also wearing military uniforms. I guess they live over there."
The person who spoke pointed in the direction of the most famous military compound in the capital and said, "He's driving a military car, so his position must be high."
"What about the family where the woman got married?"
"I don't know, I've never seen it..."
Ding Dayong felt a little nervous listening to the discussions outside.
Song Yuling ran back into the house with a smile on her face and shouted, "The groom is here, come out and block the door to ask for the red envelope."
Huang Aifeng and the others ran out in a rush. Pei Yu also ran out with a smile, saying as he ran, "It's not that I won't open the door for a big red envelope. Then who... Brother Dayong, ask your brother-in-law for good cigarettes later. If they are not good, throw them back to him."
Yu Shaofen was surprised to hear this in the room and asked Ding Guo in a low voice: "Isn't that your eldest sister-in-law?"
Ding Guo smiled and nodded: "Yes, but my eldest sister-in-law said that she came to accompany me today and she is on my side."
Yu Shaofen and Wu Fang laughed out loud.
Ding Guo was not nervous at first, but when he heard the noise coming from outside, he couldn't help but sweat in his palms.
It seems like a lot of people have come.
Is the Pei family’s wedding procession spectacular?
wrong!
Ding Guo listened and identified that it seemed that someone was watching the fun outside the gate. It must be a neighbor in the alley!
Yu Shaofen patted her hands and said with a smile: "I'll go out and take a look!"
Get up and go out.
Wu Fang saw that she looked a little uneasy and asked with a smile, "Are you nervous?"
Ding Guo nodded: "It's my first time getting married, I have no experience!"
Wu Fang laughed and said, "It's only this once in a lifetime, it's normal to be nervous."
After waiting for a while, Yu Shaofen and Pei Yu smiled and led a few unfamiliar female comrades in, holding the gifts from the groom.
Pei Yu introduced several girls to Ding Guo, including his uncle's sister-in-law and the daughter-in-law of a certain teacher in the compound.
The room suddenly became lively.
Not long after, Huang Aifeng was heard outside, smiling and shouting, "The groom is here."
Pei Che walked in from outside.
Ding Guo looked over and their eyes met in the air. They each saw the shyness and joy in each other's eyes.
Pei Che was wearing a neat military uniform with a big red flower on his chest.
"Guoguo, I'm here to pick you up!" Pei Che's eyes were filled with smiles, and his expression was tender and gentle.
Ding Guo felt his face slightly hot.
Yu Shaofen laughed happily and said, "What a talented man and beautiful woman."
Others also laughed and joked, and the lively atmosphere almost blew the roof off.
Ding Guo and Pei Che left the house surrounded by relatives and friends.
Someone outside lit firecrackers, and amid the crackling sound, Ding Guo stepped out of the door, and in the alley there were exclamations from unfamiliar neighbors.
"Oh, this bride is so beautiful."
"Don't you see how handsome the guy next to her is?"
"That's right."
"Wow, I'm already old, but I've never seen a young person with such good looks."
Children were running around in the smoke of firecrackers, shouting, "The bride is coming out, look at the bride."
Ding Guo glanced at the ground in the alley in front of the station. In addition to firecracker confetti, there were also scattered candy wrappers in groups of three or two. She thought that the cheers she heard before should be Pei Che and his friends throwing candy.
Pei Che opened the car door and helped Ding Guo get in. After closing the door, he said something to a young man in his thirties and Pei Yu behind him, then he walked around to the other side, opened the car door and got in.
"Dayong will be taken care of by my eldest uncle's cousin, and my sister will take care of Aunt Yu and Aunt Wu. After checking the house, lock the door and leave in the two cars at the back."
The arrangement was very appropriate.
Ding Guo uttered a soft "hmm".
Someone outside lit firecrackers again, and the car started slowly, passing through the smoke of firecrackers and drove out of the alley.
Pei Che took her hand and asked, "Did you sleep well last night?" He then said, "I came back after midnight last night and went straight to the compound."
They had just separated yesterday morning, but Pei Che didn't know why, as if he hadn't seen his partner for a long time.
Ding Guo smiled and said, "Fortunately, Aunt Yu came over at around 8 o'clock last night and stayed at home for one night."
Pei Che was a little surprised. The old man had asked Song Yuling to accompany Ding Guo at night, but Ding Dayong arrived as scheduled. With Dayong around, it would be difficult for Song Yuling to stay at home.
I didn't expect Aunt Yu to go over to accompany Ding Guo in the evening.
Pei Che said: "Before we return to Fengning, let's go to Yu's house."
Aunt Yu is good to Guoguo, and he and Guoguo are husband and wife, so naturally he should also return the respect together with Guoguo.
As for what will happen in the future, we’ll talk about it later.
"Okay!" Ding Guo asked him with a smile, "How did you open the door?"
But she saw Song Yuling's posture, and her elder sister-in-law was still shouting and jumping up and down to trick her younger brother.
Pei Che couldn't help laughing.
He stuffed several big red envelopes into the room and threw a whole carton of cigarettes over the wall to his brother-in-law, which caused his cousins who came with him to pick up the bride, as well as his brothers in the compound to make a fuss.
Said he was too flattering.
Pei Che never thought that the word "flattery" would be used to describe him one day.
As for why he was instigated like that, it was because he threw a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes to his brother-in-law, and Daqianmen cigarettes to his brothers, and he gave them a whole pack, one to each person.
Dayong was also so exhausted by the cigarette that he was the first one to open the door for him.
But he heard Dayong screaming inside, as if he was being beaten up by several female comrades inside.
In short, it is festive and lively.
Soon after the car arrived at the military guesthouse, Yu Shaofen and her group also arrived.
Ding Dayong got out of the car sweating profusely, with the bag his sister gave him hanging on his body. He tiptoed to look for his sister, but before he could find her, someone hooked his shoulder and walked forward: "My dear cousin, we have to have a few drinks today."
Pei Che's third uncle's cousin, two years older than Ding Dayong.
Pei Che asked them to entertain Dayong well. From the tone of their voice, it was clear that his cousins seemed to have misunderstood the meaning of "entertainment".
The restaurant of the guesthouse made temporary adjustments, moving all the tables, chairs and benches to both sides, leaving an open space for them to hold their wedding.
There is no wedding march of later generations, only the simplicity unique to this era.
Ding Guo and Pei Che stood side by side in front of the statue of the great man and took an oath. Then one saluted Mr. Pei and the other bowed deeply.
The two also saluted and bowed to their parents in the distance, facing the northwest.
The red envelope that Mr. Pei gave to Ding Guo was a passbook and two red envelopes.
The red envelope was given on behalf of Pei Che's parents, but Pei Che said that his parents sent a remittance slip here, and it would probably take a few days to arrive.
After the formal ceremony ended, several young men who seemed to have a good relationship with Pei Che came up. One of them was holding an apple tied with a thin string and asked the two to eat the apple.
The elders consciously moved away and walked aside to talk and chat.
Ding Guo's group didn't make too much noise. After a while of symbolic excitement, a middle-aged female comrade came over with a smile and dispersed the noisy people: "If you keep making noise, you won't have lunch."
Everyone ran away laughing.
The middle-aged woman came over with a smile and helped Ding Guo fix her slightly crooked hairband.
Pei Che also introduced Ding Guo: "This is our aunt."
Ding Guo hurriedly said, "Hello, aunt."
"Hello, Comrade Xiao Ding. During the Chinese New Year, I heard your mother say that her future daughter-in-law is very beautiful. Today we finally see her in person." The second aunt praised with a smile, and pointed to the chair over there, "Go sit down and take a rest first, clean up and wait for the feast to start."
The tables and chairs that had been placed on both sides of the restaurant were being carried back to their original positions by the waiters and people from the Pei family.
When the guesthouse was bustling, Gao Jiaye sneaked out, stood at the door, looked in one direction, and looked at his watch several times.
Sun Dongliang came out, walked to Gao Jiaye, and said, "Not here yet?"
Gao Jiaye: "No, he won't come, will he?"
Sun Dongliang took out a cigarette and lit it, saying, "No, I guess something is holding him back."
Today is not the weekend after all.
Gao Jiaye asked him to come as early as possible so that he would have time to talk to other elders in the compound who came to attend the wedding. If he came at dinner time, he would not have time for greetings.
The relationship between these two people and Pei Che was not too close, but because they were all from the compound, they would go to join in the fun when there was a wedding in the compound, not to mention that it was the wedding of Pei Che, the most promising man in the compound.
Not only the two of them, but the heads of both families came.
But they didn't make it into the wedding procession.
They were neither Pei Che's relatives nor his best brothers.
Gao Jiaye also lit a cigarette for himself, turned his head to look at the guesthouse behind him, listened to the noise inside, nudged Sun Dongliang with his arm, and whispered, "Hey, the Pei family is really careful to set up this standard! I think they must have set up a few tables in the largest restaurant in our capital."
Many people in the compound heard the news and wanted to go to the Pei family to give gifts, but were politely declined by Mr. Pei.
If the Gao and Sun families had not lived in the same compound with the Pei family for more than ten years, they would probably not have been able to attend the Pei family's banquet today.
If the Pei family wanted to hold the wedding banquet in an open manner, they might not have enough space for the banquet tables in the restaurant of the guesthouse.
Being able to arrange a car for the bride pick-up today is the most special feature of the entire wedding.
Sun Dongliang exhaled a puff of smoke, looked around, and then whispered, "Didn't Mr. Pei almost get himself killed a few years ago? He has been living very cautiously since then."
Gao Jiaye had also heard people talk about it, but the two of them didn't know who specifically targeted the Pei family.
"What are you busy with? The banquet is about to start, why hasn't he arrived yet?" Gao Jiaye stood on tiptoe and looked towards the main road. From a distance, he saw a figure riding a bicycle towards them and said hurriedly, "Fuck, the guy is finally here."
Pan Dingfeng stopped the car in front of the guesthouse, panting. Gao Jiaye and Sun Dongliang jumped down the steps and said with a smile, "If you are any later, you won't even have a hot meal."
One said, "Hurry up, we're waiting for you."
Pan Dingfeng laughed breathlessly, "You two wait until I catch my breath."
As he spoke, he took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead and straightened his clothes.
Gao Jiaye took his bicycle, pushed it aside, and helped him lock it.
Sun Dongliang hooked his arm around Pan Dingfeng's shoulder and said, "Let me tell you first. When you see the bride later, don't stare at her. I'm telling you, the wife that Brother Che found is really not exaggerating. She looks like this!"
He gave a thumbs up and said, "There's no other like him in the entire city."
Pan Dingfeng wiped the sweat off his neck again and followed the two brothers to the guesthouse, asking, "What's the background? Whose family is the girl from?"
"I don't know. The Pei family is famous for keeping their mouths shut. How can anyone find out?"
In the guesthouse, Ding Guo took her bag from Dayong, asked the waiter for an empty private room, went in to change clothes, and put on makeup.
Pei Che said that a few elders would come over at noon, and the two newlyweds had to go to the door to greet them.
This is not a good thing about getting married in summer, it makes you sweat easily.
The makeup on your face also needs to be touched up. The waterproof and sweat-proof effect of the cosmetics at this time is really average. If you don’t clean it up, your face will be smudged soon.
Ding Guo closed the door, drew the curtains, slipped into the space, took a quick shower but didn't wash his hair.
After all, there was no place to take a shower in this private room, and it would be strange if she went out with wet hair.
She changed into that yellow plaid suit.
The hair was disheveled and combed again.
She removed her makeup and stopped putting on powder. After washing her face, she only applied a light lipstick.
On the other side, Pei Che was talking to his two aunts. From the corner of his eye, he saw a figure being brought in by Gao Jiaye and Sun Dongliang. He paused, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and continued talking to his two aunts.
After Pan Dingfeng came in, he was somewhat unable to move freely because of the awkward situation he was in.
Obviously, most of the people he saw were acquaintances, and they would greet him warmly when they saw him in the past. But when their eyes met his, they all looked away calmly, pretending not to see him.
Pan Dingfeng took a deep breath, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and swept his eyes across the hall. He saw Pei Che talking to two women over there. Just as he was about to walk over there, a familiar face came into his sight.
Yu Shaofen!
Why is Nianjun’s biological mother here?
Yu Shaofen actually has such a relationship with the Pei family?
For a moment, Pan Dingfeng's heart was beating like a drum, but it only jumped for a few seconds and then stopped.
Last time, after being ridiculed by Yu Shaofen on the street, he asked someone to help him find out about the situation of the Yu family. He broke out in a cold sweat.
Unexpectedly, one of the victims in the case that eventually brought down his family was Yu Shaofen's father, Nianjun's maternal grandfather.
The place where his parents were sent was temporarily changed, reportedly because of the report made by Mr. Yu to his superiors.
God really knows how to play jokes.
With such a relationship, how could he interact with the Yu family?
So, even if he realized at this moment that his mother-in-law seemed to have a good relationship with the Pei family, so what?
It was already a blessing that Yu Shaofen didn't use her connections to torture his parents to death. Did he really expect Yu Shaofen to help him find the Pei family to redress his parents' grievances?
His heart, which had been beating twice, finally calmed down. Pan Dingfeng pretended not to have seen Yu Shaofen and went over to greet Pei Che.
"Brother Che, long time no see. Happy wedding."
Pei Che smiled faintly and said, "Long time no see, thank you."
Pan Dingfeng didn't see the person who looked like the bride, so he asked with a smile: "Where's my sister-in-law? Why can't I see my sister-in-law?"
Pei Che tried hard not to raise his eyebrows, still smiling faintly, and said, "I'm going to change clothes. You'll see me soon."
As he said this, he waved to Xiao He, waited for Xiao He to come over, and said, "Add a seat for Ding Feng in the family business and pillars."
Xiao He looked at Pan Dingfeng: "Comrade Pan, follow me."
Pan Dingfeng didn't know what he would face next. He smiled and said to Pei Che, "Brother Che, you go ahead and get busy. I'll go over first and have a couple of drinks later."
Gao Jiaye and Sun Dongliang did not come with him. Seeing that Pan Dingfeng ended the conversation with Pei Che in just a few words, they were worried about this brother, but because Mr. Pei's guards were next to them, they did not dare to ask anything.
When they got their seats, both sides were filled with people who came to the wedding, all of them were young men from large courtyards who were about the same age as them. When they saw Pan Dingfeng, some of them greeted him with a smile, while others teased him with open and veiled ridicule.
Gao Jiaye and Sun Dongliang were noisily laughing and scolding this and that, trying to find ways to protect Pan Dingfeng without offending these second-generation rich kids.
In such an atmosphere, Pan Dingfeng was so embarrassed that he wished he could find a hole to crawl into. As a result, he not only did not see Ding Dayong who was sitting two tables away, but also did not see Ding Guo who had changed his clothes and walked towards the door with Pei Che.
Pei Che and Ding Guo walked to the door and stood there for a while before Uncle Liao, who had been to Yangjiawo to propose marriage last time, arrived.
Uncle Liao congratulated him with a smile and was about to take out a red envelope on the spot. However, Xiao He, who had followed him out, led him to the door of the guesthouse, where the money for the wedding was collected.
Uncle Zhang and Uncle Huang arrived one after another.
The two of them took a stroll around the compound in the morning, then went to their respective units, and took advantage of the lunch break to come over to attend the wedding banquet.
After Uncle Zhang and Uncle Huang went in, two people from the Pei family came over.
One of them was the mayor's secretary, who came to deliver a gift on behalf of the mayor. Pei Che and Ding Guo escorted him to the guesthouse.
Back at the door again, Ding Guo couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you say we were going to just have a simple banquet?"
Pei Che smiled and said, "Isn't this simple?"
It’s already very low-key!
A car slowly stopped not far away. Pei Che looked at the person getting out of the car and said, "Commander Wang, from the Northwest Military Region, who is also the leader of our parents. He happened to be having a meeting here..."
As he spoke, he went forward with Ding Guo.
Xiao He at the door saw people getting off the car and hurriedly turned around and went into the guesthouse.
As soon as Mr. Pei finished greeting the mayor's secretary, he walked forward with a smile: "Old Wang, what brings you here?"
Most of the people who came to the banquet recognized the epaulettes on military uniforms. Even if they didn't know the other party's background, they stood up with surprise when they saw the patterns on the epaulettes.
Gao Jiaye muttered in a low voice: "Oh my god, another big boss has come. Who is this big boss?"
Pan Dingfeng had never seen the person who came in. His eyes swept over the epaulettes on the other person's shoulders. Before he could wonder in shock about the person's identity, he seemed to see something he shouldn't have seen from the corner of his eye. His heart skipped a beat. Before his eyes completely moved away, he thought to himself, I must be dazzled. How could he see Ding Guo in such an occasion?
His gaze then shifted and landed on that face.
