Chapter 52 Wedding

July 12, 1977. The weather was beautiful and it was a sunny day with a slightly wind.

In the eyes of ordinary people, perhaps this is just an ordinary Wednesday. However, in the eyes of many "sea collusioners", this is not the case. Because this day was the happy day for the "General" and Han Ying to hold a wedding banquet at the "Qunying Building".

In this era, getting married in a restaurant and a restaurant was a unique move with advanced consciousness.

This is different from the fact that ordinary people ask the master to help with the flowing mat at home. Although it is a lot of worry-free food and drink level. However, there is no precedent to how to hold the wedding ceremony. This is a question that people have a lot of thought and considerate.

In advance, the "General" and Han Ying had discussed it privately, but because they had no idea, they went to ask the "Old Saberfish".

But although the "old swordfish" is old and knowledgeable, he only understands the traditional process of holding weddings in the fishing village, that is, the old rules of "worshiping heaven and earth" and "sending them to the bridal chamber" in the past.

Considering that if he did this, everything would not match the current situation and conditions, he would have lost his mind. Fortunately, Hong Yanwu was brave enough to take charge of the work and dared to take charge, so he took all the power of preparation alone.

Not to mention, "If you don't have a diamond, you won't take on this porcelain job." Hong Yanwu has a modern consciousness and has seen the world, he is actually organized and can't miss it.

Hong Yanwu sent the seafood ingredients to the kitchen one day in advance. All the things that should be processed were processed and all the things that should be frozen were moved.

But the wine was brought to him that day, a box of Moutai and two bottles of fruit wine. He bought it through the relationship between Manager Xie of the "Victory Guesthouse". He did not ask the boy to help him for nothing. He left him two bottles as rewards, so he was so beautiful.

The second is that the night before, I had to bring people to the private room to set up a table and paste the word "happy".

After all the high-end candies, melon seeds and peanuts, cigarette trays, and these fragments were arranged, Hong Yanwu first pasted a big red "囍" character cut by Han Ying on the back wall of the main seat.

Then he took people to step on the chair and hung chain color strips made of red and green paper on the ceiling. Finally, after a large five-color ball hanging above the character "囍" was hung, the atmosphere suddenly came out, making anyone feel very happy when they saw it.

As for the process and arrangements of the day, it looked very similar. Its meticulous and thoughtfulness not only made everyone present sigh, but its grandeur and dignity also far exceeded the expectations and imagination of the "general" and Han Ying.

Because there is no wedding car pick-up and drop-off process, according to Hong Yanwu's arrangement, the bride and groom stand at the door to greet everyone.

At around 10:30 am that day, almost all the "Hai Mengzi" arrived. In addition to them, two other guests were invited on that day, namely the two cousins ​​who reunite the "General" and Han Ying. The sister was called Xiang Hong and the younger brother was called Fan Gang.

But no matter who it is, I feel quite surprised after I arrive.

Because the "general" dressed up very energetic today, he changed his rough and heroic dishevelled in the past. The beauty of the bride was even more amazing. She shyly blushedly under everyone's gaze, but she followed the groom without falling to the ground. Especially on the two of them, there was a red velvet flower with a word of joy on their chests, which perfectly appropriately showed the identity and festive atmosphere of the newcomer.

Two people with extraordinary demeanor stood at the entrance of the restaurant and waited for everyone, looking like the national leaders meeting foreign guests, both intimate and solemn.

The "Haidaizi" who loves to make trouble and make trouble all changed their tempers. Like gentle and gentle intellectuals, each of them said a few perfunctories. Xiang Hong and Fan Gang also shook hands with the two newcomers in a fake manner. Invisibly, the personal quality of this group of "guests" has improved a lot.

The people who arrived first did not have to stand and drink after they arrived. Hong Yanwu had already coordinated with the "Qunyinglou" with the price of two happy cigarettes. He placed a coffee table and a circle of chairs on the side of the restaurant in the morning. He made tea and placed a ashtray with cigarettes and candy, which was specially for everyone to sit down and rest for a while.

This is actually the current "teabreak", which is translated as "teabreak". This thoughtfulness was unique back then and undoubtedly received unanimous praise from everyone.

In this way, when the time came to eleven o'clock, everyone had already arrived and people exchanged greetings for a while. At this time, they were all invited outside by Hong Yanwu. It turned out that two firecrackers had been hung high at the entrance of the restaurant.

This is a private congratulation of the "Old Saberfish". He quietly bought two thousand-sounding firecrackers and gave the newlyweds a veritable "warm" congratulations to the newlyweds in the traditional Chinese way.

But the most amazing thing is that all the processes today were photographed by Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan with cameras.

It turns out that Hong Yanwu went to the trust bank to "rent" equipment, got two cameras, 120 and 135, and bought six films. He and Chen Liquan each had one, and took photos all the time, making passers-by think that the "Qunyinglou" was entertaining some important leaders, and even the reporters came.

In short, all these novel hospitality methods today not only made the hosts who were treating and the guests who were attending the banquet feel bright and satisfied. Even the service staff who were watching the "Qunying Building" sideways felt that they had opened their eyes and gained insight.

After the "cracking" firecrackers rang, the "outside field" project was all over, and everyone surrounded a pair of newcomers and laughed and entered the private room. The "inside field" process officially began.

Except for the people who came to Hong Yanwu yesterday, the rest of the people who entered the private room immediately felt their eyes lit up.

Because I won’t talk about the arrangement and decoration that fully reflects joy and enthusiasm. On the large round table covered with snow-white tablecloth, in addition to various colors of candies, cigarettes, melon seeds and peanuts, two bottles of Moutai and two bottles of fruit wine, the most amazing thing is that there is a double-layer cake in the center.

This is the best one that Hong Yanwu spent twenty yuan to choose from the side dish restaurant. Unfortunately, due to the lack of service back then, he could not leave any words on it. Moreover, it is also fake cream these days, and to be honest, it is not delicious. However, the curly double-layer cream flower is particularly conspicuous, and it can still achieve a shocking and refreshing effect.

The "general" and Han Ying were also hidden by Hong Yanwu in advance. At this moment, they were very disgusted when they saw the cake. They thought that it was inappropriate for Hong Yanwu to be busy and to spend money to give such a heavy gift.

Hong Yanwu said it was not in the way. While he brought the plates and knives he had prepared early, he asked the "General" and Han Ying to share the cake for everyone. At the same time, he said, "This is the way for Westerners to celebrate their marriage. Today we will also combine Chinese and Western. Just try it, but don't eat too much. If you don't have a stomachache, you will lose money."

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and they all said that the reminder was good. But it was one thing to understand. It would be difficult to not fight for it or not to joke. Before they could eat a few bites of the cake of "Flying Crab", they were snatched away by the "Sanbazi" and the others, so angry that they stared at them.

After the cake was divided, Hong Yanwu stood by the bride and groom again and immediately announced the start of the wedding ceremony.

The procedure he arranged today was actually very simple. He neither bowed to the leader nor bowed to his parents twice. Even the "old rules" of couples' worship were exempted. He just read the marriage certificate in public, which was to congratulate the couple on behalf of everyone.

The congratulations are also quite distinctive in the times, and there is no irrelevant empty talk at all. I only hear Hong Yanwu recite it loudly.

"The red sun rises eastward, the sun shines thousands of rays, the spring thunder rolls, and the war drums rumble. Under this great revolutionary situation, a pair of revolutionary partners get married!..."

All the people present immediately cheered and raised their glasses to celebrate the bride and groom's lifelong companionship. After a burst of "ding-ding-dang" clinking glasses, the boy "Three-wattle" completely ignited the flames.

"Come on, we cheer, we sing, make everything unfair and unreasonable, tremble in the dark corners!"

Everyone did sing very well. They sang "Pick up the pen and make swords and guns" and sang "Fight, fight, kill, kill!" Later, some people were confused and even sang the exclusive song of "Haibiaozi" -

"We are all paupers, we don't have a penny in our pockets. We are all rich uncles, sea cucumbers and abalone are used as dry rice..."

The people were so sang that they were so sang that they were majestic and majestic. On a whim, even the "Sun shining on the butt" was sung, making the two female compatriots blush for a moment.

However, the room was closed and the outside could not be heard so clearly. Even if you heard a half sentence of "pauper" it was nothing. I guess I thought it was singing revolutionary songs inside. Finally, it was not until everyone sang a song "On the Water" together.

Of course, this song was the first time for Xiang Hong and Fan Gang to listen to it. They reacted the same as the ones who first heard this song, and they all felt the tune was melodious and very beautiful. If it weren't for the wedding, they would have caught a person who could sing and asked for advice carefully, and they had to learn this song.

Seeing that the lively atmosphere of the wedding was just right, Hong Yanwu quickly took the time to announce, "The last part is the speech of the groom and the bride."

In such occasions, as usual, I would like to say things, and express my gratitude to everyone for attending the wedding. Especially the "General" is not good at speaking, and even if he has a lot of thoughts, it is difficult to express it completely.

But Han Ying's idea was different. She thought that her lifelong affairs would never be hopeless, but for this, she lived in disappointment and self-harm and narcissism for several months. Now she naturally understood in her heart that it was all due to Hong Yanwu's help that she had made a comeback and she was happy. Therefore, she had long wanted to thank him happily. Since there was such a great opportunity today, how could she miss it?

For this reason, when the "general" stammered and said, "Let everyone eat and drink well today", Han Ying excitedly thanked Hong Yanwu in front of many people.

"Thank you... It's all you who fulfilled our long-cherished wish, turned our dreams into reality, helped us form a family, and gave us a particularly beautiful residence and held such a decent wedding..."

When she said this, emotion arose from her heart, and a tear slowly flowed out from the corners of her eyes. She couldn't continue to talk, so she pulled the "general" to bow to Hong Yanwu three times.

No one expected Han Ying to say such words at the wedding. The "general" did not expect that even Hong Yanwu would not expect.

This time, Hong Yanwu was naturally shocked. He was not to avoid or to stop him. He could only keep saying "'General', sister-in-law, what are you doing? I promised not to worship anyone today, why did you come to worship me in the end? This is not appropriate..."

"Click", "Click", the "Shrimp Crawler" on the side actually raised Hong Yanwu's camera, the flash light lit up a few times, and captured the scene of Hong Yanwu's embarrassment and the newcomer bowing repeatedly.

The "Sea Colliders" all reacted at this time, and half cheered and half moved to applaud. The "San Yaozi" also jumped onto the stool while the iron was hot, raising his arms and shouting.

"Xiao Wuzi, you are capable, and this treatment is unique. But now, don't behave yourself cheaply! Why don't you move quickly and urge the food outside to start the meal! Don't delay our elder brother and sister-in-law having a drink of wine!"

When he shouted, the rest of the people opened their throats and screamed loudly. Some even whistled.

However, the wedding, which was always serious, lively, grand and smooth, reached its most "climax" with the "general" and Han Ying holding hands and raising the glass.
