Chapter 80
All the clothes for the Meng family were prepared by Zhen Zhen.
She had good taste and prepared three-piece suits for her two sons.
Meng Daguo and Meng Eryong are both tall, and suits are their comfort zone, especially Meng Daguo, who has broad shoulders and long legs and a strong body. When he wears a black suit and tie, he looks indescribably suave.
Jiao Huilan blushed, "Mom is really good at buying clothes. This dress suits you very well."
Meng Daguo smiled innocently, "You look beautiful today too. I was stunned by your beauty."
Jiao Huilan's face turned even redder. She wore a waist-hugging long-sleeved dress today. At her mother's suggestion, she went to a hair salon in Jingshi and had her hair done in fashionable curls. She also asked someone to put on makeup for her.
Jiao Huilan has a gentle temperament and three-dimensional facial features. She has not done farm work in the past few years, and her skin has become noticeably whiter. When a person becomes white, his temperament is different. When he dresses up, it is almost unrecognizable.
Not to mention Meng Daguo, even Zhen Zhen felt that Jiao Huilan had changed a lot.
Meng Eryong wore a grey suit and Tao Aihong wore a black suit skirt. It was the first time for her to wear them and she found it quite fresh.
Several children were also wearing dresses.
Many people at the dinner table thought that since Tan Wenyin had married a farmer, her in-laws would definitely not be presentable. However, they found out that not only were their in-laws dressed fashionably, but their speech and manners were also very decent.
Everyone was amazed and suspected that the message they received was wrong.
What kind of country folks are these? They are even more fashionable and well-dressed than city folks.
Meng Nan walked around and talked to Wenyin, "Auntie, you look so beautiful today! You are more beautiful than a natural fairy!"
Tan Wenyin blushed and hugged her, "Be good, eat whatever you want, don't be hungry."
Meng Nan chuckled: "It doesn't matter what we eat, the main thing is to see the bride."
Tan Wenyin is like a searchlight of happiness, emitting a soft light.
She and Meng Hua both have outstanding looks, and they look a perfect match when standing together.
Zhen Zhen stared at them and felt inexplicably at ease.
If Meng Hua hadn't been with Cheng Su, he wouldn't have had to follow the old path of being a villain and cannon fodder. He would have a new life after leaving the plot.
Meng Hua drank a few glasses and felt a little tipsy, so he asked his brother to stop him from drinking.
Zhen Zhen explained:
"Drink less."
"Hehe, I know mom cares about me."
Zhen Zhen laughed, "Your wife is too embarrassed to care about you. If I, as a mother, am not annoying, then who is annoying?"
Meng Hua pretended to be upset, "Mother doesn't care whether I live or die. Her biological son is different."
Zhen Zhen's smile deepened, "Pfft! What's the use of life and death? It's not appropriate to talk about this on a happy occasion."
"Mother is still the best."
"Today is my son's big day, and I am happy for you from the bottom of my heart. Remember, once you hold my hand, don't let it go easily. I hope you and Wenyin live a good life, accompany each other, tolerate and understand each other. I wish you a long and happy life together."
Meng Hua hugged her mother tightly.
Tan Wenyin happened to come over and after hearing this, she wiped her eyes with tears in her eyes.
If her mother saw her getting married, she would say the same thing, right?
"Thank you, Mom."
Zhen Zhen patted her shoulder and said, "Wen Yin, marriage and happiness are not necessarily equal, but Mom hopes that your marriage and happiness are equal."
Tan Wenyin cried so much that her makeup was ruined.
Many leaders came to the Tan family's banquet, and Meng Hua also wanted to take his brother to see the world.
Meng Daguo had a good alcohol tolerance and looked very dashing in a suit, which made Meng Hua proud.
After several years of experience, he became more cautious and not only took care of his brother, but also blocked a lot of alcohol for Tan Zheng.
Tan Zheng was also very satisfied with him.
Talking about the three sons of the Meng family, the eldest and the third are both outstanding, and the second oldest is a little behind, but he is not a drag either. The spirit of Meng Hua's father will surely rest in peace in heaven.
"By the way, you three brothers, follow me."
Tan Zheng took them to the leaders' table. He put his arm around the two leaders' shoulders and said familiarly:
"Guoliang, Jingshan, look who's here!"
Zhong Guoliang and Xu Jingshan were both extraordinary people. Just by looking at the attitudes of those at the table, one could tell that they were all high-ranking leaders.
Zhong Guoliang drank quite a bit of wine and was slightly dazed. He was over fifty years old and a little presbyopic. He squinted his eyes as he looked at the three brothers.
"Could it be Meng Changzheng's three sons?"
Zhong Guoliang looked at the three of them with surprise.
Tan Zheng Xiaoxiao:
"Who else could it be besides them? Time flies. Think about how many years it has been since Meng Changzheng passed away."
The son of his deceased comrade was standing in front of him. After not seeing him for many years, Zhong Guoliang's eyes were moist.
"Yes, we had the best relationship among the four of us back then. Meng Changzheng was an honest man and even helped me block a bullet. We often slept together. Thinking about it now, it seems like just yesterday."
Xu Jingshan slapped his thigh after realizing it belatedly, "Is it Meng Changzheng's son? What's his name?"
"Daguo, Eryong, and my son-in-law Meng Hua."
How could Zhong Guoliang and Xu Jingshan still have any leadership demeanor? They held the hands of the three Meng Daguo brothers, chattering about this and that, just like the middle-aged men you often see at the wine table, revealing true feelings in their ordinariness.
Since Meng Changzheng passed away, the three brothers have tried their best to avoid mentioning Meng Changzheng's name in front of their mother.
Meng Hua hung his head and wiped away tears, "My father died too early, and he never enjoyed a single day of happiness."
Meng Daguo put his arms around his two younger brothers' shoulders and said:
"My brother and my father have the best relationship, and my father loves my brother. If his spirit in heaven sees my brother getting married, he will definitely be very happy."
Tan Zheng and the other two also became furious.
Meng Daguo held up his wine glass with tears in his eyes:
"Uncles, Meng Hua is the only one in Beijing, and he has no relatives to take care of him. To be honest, I am worried about him. My brother is young, and it is inevitable that he is not stable in his work. He needs more guidance and care from the three uncles. I, Meng Daguo, would like to offer a toast to the three uncles, as if I am drinking for my father. I hope that the three uncles will be successful in their careers, healthy, and live a long life!"
Meng Daguo's words were sincere and his tone was simple. These words were an elder brother's blessing and concern for his younger brother.
Tan Zheng patted Meng Daguo on the shoulder and asked Zhong Guoliang and Xu Jingshan:
"What? Meng Changzheng's son is toasting you two, and you dare not drink?"
Zhong Guoliang laughed, "How dare I not drink this? If I don't drink it, be careful that Changzheng will come out from the ground to find me."
Xu Jingshan stood up and raised his glass to Meng Daguo.
"You are a good kid, you are a great guy! Your father deserves it to have three sons like you!"
After two rounds of drinking, the three Meng Daguo brothers had drunk a lot.
Tan Zheng was holding a glass of wine and was about to go to the next table to toast, but Zhong Guoliang grabbed his clothes.
"Why, only the three children are here? My sister-in-law is not here?"
Tan Zheng glanced at Zhen Zhen who was not far away, and the two of them followed his gaze and were both stunned.
"The one in the black dress?"
"Yeah." Tan Zheng took a sip of wine.
Zhong Guoliang clicked his tongue twice:
"I was wrong. Meng Changzheng died in vain!"
Xu Jingshan: "What a loss! A huge loss!"
People are strange. When they get older, they don’t understand young people, and they can’t become old all of a sudden.
If you say that when she first came here, Zhen Zhen was still a girl in her twenties in her mentality, but after being an old lady for seven or eight years, all she had left was an aging soul.
The wedding went on as the guests filled the seats. The children all surrounded the bride, the sons went to toast, and the guests at the table were unfamiliar with each other.
She smiled happily and poured herself a glass of wine. Even though no one paid any attention to her, she still found a moment of peace and contentment.
Jiao Huilan came over from another table and said, "Mom, my brother is getting married. Are you happy?"
Zhen Zhen smiled and replied:
"Happy, why not?"
When people get older, they have to find their own happiness.
Even if there is nothing happy, it might as well be happy.
Zhen Zhen drank a few glasses of wine, and then Tan Zheng came over with two comrades, and the four of them had to chat for a while.
Zhen Zhen was pretty and well-spoken, which won her a lot of favor, so she took the children back to the hotel.
The next day, she went to see Cheng Su as promised. Cheng Su saw her from a distance, ran over excitedly, opened her arms and hugged her neck tightly.
"Auntie Zhen."
Zhen Zhen smiled and patted her back, his eyes gentle, "Why are you still acting like a child?"
The people in Cheng Su's family treated her badly, and she had long regarded Zhen Zhen as her own mother. This time when Zhen Zhen came to see her, she felt like someone loved her even though she was an unlucky child.
Cheng Su burst into tears, "Only in front of you do I act like a child."
Zhen Zhen brought several bags full of things for Cheng Su, including snacks, gloves, clothes, and books, as if she was worried that Cheng Su was not having a good time in school.
Cheng Su felt warm in her heart and wished she could be Aunt Zhen's close-fitting little cotton-padded jacket.
"You're so nice to me." Cheng Su rubbed her neck clingingly.
Zhen Zhen smiled and didn't push the person away.
Cheng Su asked her why she came to Beijing, and Zhen Zhen told her about Meng Hua's marriage.
Cheng Su's eyes widened. "Meng Hua got married? Why didn't you tell me?"
Zhen Zhen smiled and waved his hands, "It's a banquet held at the girl's house, how can I invite too many people? Just a few people at home will fill one table."
Meng Hua likes Cheng Su, and Zhen Zhen is afraid that Tan Wenyin will feel uncomfortable.
It’s such a happy day, she couldn’t possibly cause trouble for others, right?
