Chapter 201: Yuanxi County Wedding in Progress (Part )
Next, Zhao Dongchuan made a special trip back to Shuangshui Village to discuss some specific matters with his father-in-law Tian Futang, including the issue of the bride price.
Tian Futang really valued Zhao Dongchuan, so he simply followed the example of He Xiu Lian's father-in-law and did not ask for a single penny of betrothal gift.
After Zhao Dongchuan’s persuasion failed, he stopped worrying about it.
Take the prepared invitations and send them to the familiar families in the village.
We repeatedly asked people to just come and not bring gifts... so as not to increase the burden on everyone.
Afterwards, Zhao Dongchuan went back to the Huangyuan City Cultural Center without stopping.
I went to see Director Wang to report my work, told him the good news, and at the same time got a letter of introduction for marriage.
Of course Wu Huiliang and Du Lili were also invited.
Fortunately, the nature of his job does not require him to work in the office, and he has works to his name. He is now a famous poet and writer in Huangyuan and even in the whole country. If he were not too young, he would probably have to bear more "burdens".
Taking advantage of this time, Zhao Dongchuan also met with Huang Laosan several times.
Understand the current product sales and inventory.
What’s gratifying is that the newly acquired bell-bottom pants and sunglasses are selling very well in the south...but they are not selling well locally.
Several large distributors lined up to pay for goods... This made Zhao Dongchuan feel that there was a bright future ahead.
This shows that the business is gradually developing and the time for him to show his talents is coming.
After explaining everything to Huang Laosan, Zhao Dongchuan quietly left the "secret base".
After everything was done, Zhao Dongchuan returned to Yuanxi County and began to prepare for the wedding.
He also specially prepared a new set of clothes for his father-in-law and mother-in-law at the county's clothing store.
Runye was also busy, following Xu Aiyun to the county to purchase wedding characters, red flowers, ribbons, balloons, fruits and other items needed for the wedding.
……
On the afternoon of the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, Zhao Dongchuan and Tian Runye took time out of their busy schedules to go to the county civil affairs bureau with marriage introduction letters issued by their respective units to apply for marriage certificates.
From this moment on, they are a couple that is truly protected by law, certified by the state...
The two looked at the marriage certificate with joy, their faces filled with happy smiles.
Zhao Dongchuan took out a handful of White Rabbit milk candies and distributed them to the staff in charge of the wedding.
"congratulations!"
"..."
Couples were applying for marriage certificates at the marriage registration office, and everyone was in a joyful atmosphere.
In 1977, on the th day of the first lunar month, it is a good time to get married and start construction...
9: AM…
Zhao Dongchuan once again put on his Zhongshan suit with a red silk hanging on his chest, dressed like a groom. He sat in the jeep sent by Tian Fujun, which was tied with red ribbons, and slowly drove towards the Revolutionary Committee compound.
Tian Runye also got up early. Although she had already held the wedding once in Beijing, she was still nervous. This time she was getting married in front of her parents, relatives and friends, so the meaning was naturally different.
Xu Aiyun put the red flower on Runye, and Runye's mother helped her put on the jade pendant given by Zhao Dongchuan's grandparents.
"Oh my, our Runye is so beautiful...it's such a good deal for that brat Dongchuan!"
Xu Aiyun couldn't help but sigh as she looked at Tian Runye, who had beautiful makeup and a beautiful smile.
"Second mother!"
Runye held Xu Aiyun's hand and said with a smile.
"Our Runye is definitely beautiful, but Dongchuan is also a good boy. You two should love each other in the future!"
Runye's mother said with relief as she looked at Tian Runye in the mirror who was immersed in happiness.
Tian Futang is the one who makes the decisions on her daughter's marriage, as long as her daughter is happy.
Zhao Dongchuan came to the yard of the second father's house of the Revolutionary Committee, scattered a handful of candy amid the noise of the female guests, and then took Runye into the car.
In fact, the county guesthouse was very close to the Revolutionary Committee compound, only a few hundred meters away. But in order to make Zhao Dongchuan and Runye look more decent, Tian Fujun, who had always been honest and fair, could not help but "show favoritism" for once.
Zhao Dongchuan and Tian Runye sat in the back seat of the car and smiled at each other, their faces full of happiness.
After a while, the car drove into the guesthouse.
The restaurant was already full of people at this time.
There were Mr. and Mrs. Tian Futang from Shuangshui Village and their relatives, as well as team members who were familiar with Zhao Dongchuan's former production team.
Naturally, Sun Yuhou and his family are also indispensable.
The whole family came, including Shaoan, Shaoping, Lanxiang, and Lanhua also came with Maodan and Goudan. Even Wang Manyin, who was wandering around outside, heard the news from somewhere and rushed back.
Also coming were people from Shigejie Commune, including Bai Mingchuan, Xu Zhigong, Liu Genmin and others.
The people from the county include Tian Fujun's family, Yuanxi County Primary School, Runye's colleagues, and the principal of the primary school.
Of course, many county leaders also came, some came for Tian Fujun, and some came for Zhao Dongchuan, the great talent of Huangyuan City.
Wu Huiliang and Du Lili from Huangyuan City also came, along with Jia Bing and his wife, who were holding a baby, as well as several colleagues from the Huangyuan Cultural Center and the center's director.
In total, there were dozens of large round tables.
They were all covered with clean, snow-white tablecloths.
It was filled with peanuts, melon seeds, walnuts, apples, pears and other fruits, as well as cigarettes, alcohol and tea.
Shao Ping and Shao An temporarily acted as the men's side and helped take care of the guests' seating. He Xiu Lian and Tian Xiao Xia were not idle either. They arranged to serve fruits and pour tea.
Many of the people here are familiar with each other, and they get together to chat and feel quite comfortable.
As Runye's second father and second mother, Tian Fujun was a respectable person, so naturally he accompanied his brother Tian Futang and his wife to welcome guests on both sides of the door.
At the back of the restaurant, in the kitchen, a dozen chefs were busy stir-frying and preparing dishes for the wedding.
Among them was a famous master, Hu Defu, the fat stove head in the canteen of Shigejie Commune.
His several signature dishes were famous throughout the county, the most famous of which was the braised pork elbow.
"Groom, here comes the bride!"
Following a shout.
Zhao Dongchuan took Tian Runye out of the car and slowly walked into the wedding scene.
Looking at the beautiful Tian Runye and the handsome Zhao Dongchuan, everyone felt that they were a perfect match.
Tian Futang was even more filled with pride and pride.
Look, this is my daughter, and this is my son-in-law. What a grand scene!
This son-in-law was willing to spend money to get things done, and the people who came were all capable, including quite a few county officials.
Of course he was very proud, because he was the one who chose this son-in-law.
He was the father-in-law, and according to reason he should have sat at the host table, but there were too many people coming, and Zhao Dongchuan was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable, so he arranged for him to sit at the table for Shuangshui Village.
……
Soon, Zhang Youzhi, as the specially invited master of ceremonies, announced the start of the wedding.
Led by Zhao Dongchuan, the director of Huangyuan Cultural Center served as the master of ceremonies and delivered a warm speech of blessing.
Some of Zhao Dongchuan's works and achievements were introduced, and Tian Runye was also introduced.
Many people at the wedding actually didn’t know Zhao Dongchuan’s true identity and didn’t think about it that way. Only after hearing his introduction did they know that he was a writer and they all exclaimed, “So it’s him.”
