Chapter 533 Wedding, the home of a first-class hero

Author: Great Master of the East

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the meeting ended.

At two o'clock, Xu Zheng left the provincial office after accompanying his leaders to have a working meal in the cafeteria. As for the simulation portrait artists from the ministries and commissions who wanted to stay with him for detailed discussion, he directly referred them to Teacher Zheng.

Now that he was about to get married, how could he have so much time to accompany them to study acquired factors and simulated portraits? He just wanted to go back as soon as possible to help.

At this time, Shili Jiangnan Hot Pot Restaurant, Han Dongwen and the rest of the family came here to help. In one morning, the hot pot restaurant's back kitchen was renovated and a lot of equipment was moved in.

Han Dongwen's friend, the hotel owner, was also very interesting. He waived the equipment rental and transportation fees, and even came over in person. It was a pity that Xu Zheng, the groom-to-be, was not there.

No one wants to talk to small policemen, but this certainly does not include small provincial cadres like Xu Zheng.

Boss Xie has already agreed with Han Dongwen that he will come in person for the wedding the day after tomorrow. Of course, Han Dongwen warmly welcomes this.

When Xu Zheng came back around two o'clock, Boss Xie had already left.

As soon as he entered the hot pot restaurant, he saw Du Xiaole directing the waiters to decorate the upper and lower floors with red happy characters and various red festive stickers. Even if the stickers were not finished, the whole store was already filled with a festive atmosphere.

"Sister Xiaole is busy. Look at me. I'm sorry that I'm late again." Xu Zheng apologized first when they met. In fact, he was the real owner and had done nothing.

Du Xiaole is in her thirties and is petite and exquisite. She has the fine tradition of hard-working women in Zhongbin Province. Two words: capable!

She is also extremely outgoing and loves to laugh. As the proprietress and lobby manager of a hot pot restaurant, she is qualified. "Look, our groom is finally back. Xiao Zheng is so handsome. Have you eaten? If not, I will go next to you."

I’ll buy you something to eat in the store to warm your stomach.”

"Have eaten, Sister Xiaole, I'm here to work. Do you think there is any other work that I need to do?" Xu Zheng was wearing formal clothes because he needed to meet with leaders at all levels today. No, he was just here

I just changed into short sleeves in the car, just ready to work.

At this time, grandma came over and said with a smile: "Xiaole, if there is any work, you can arrange it for him. He is away from home every day. This is the last time. How can we let him sit and watch us work?"

Du Xiaole laughed and said, "Okay, in that case, the work this afternoon will be enough for our family, Xiao Zheng, but don't worry, after you finish the work, let your brother Shi take you to a nearby massage shop and massage your body.

Just relax."

When a hotpot restaurant entertains guests, the tables and chairs in the hall are not suitable. They need to be replaced with those from the hotel. Then the tablecloths are spread, the chairs are placed, and finally a small stage is arranged against the wall of the hall for the host and newcomers.

For temporary use.

As for the red carpet, it cannot be laid today, and it is not too late to decorate it on the wedding day.

It was busy until eight o'clock in the evening before Xu Zheng's family and the waiters from the hot pot restaurant put everything in order. Everyone must have been hungry, especially since several chefs in the hotel were preparing in advance the food and drinks for the wedding the day after tomorrow.

Hungry.

Han Dongwen asked the chef to prepare two tables of dishes for everyone. Even though they were cooked casually, these two tables also had fish, meat and seafood, which was not much cheaper than eating out. Moreover, he also opened a few bottles of good wine.

While eating, Xu Zheng called Han Rui and Huang Xinyi, who was helping at home, over.

This afternoon Huang Xinyi accompanied Han Rui to the bridal shop to modify the bride's new dress. Although Xiao Rui's belly didn't look bigger during her pregnancy, she was indeed much fatter than when she was wearing the wedding dress.

She was able to eat better than before. No, Xu Zheng watched with his own eyes as she finished half of the salted duck and then ate a yellow croaker without even drinking the soup.

Seeing Xu Zheng's curious eyes, Han Rui puffed up her chest and argued: "This is not for me to eat, but for our children to be hungry. What, do you still have any objections?"

Of course Xu Zheng didn't, he just smiled and gave her some food. Not to mention, he didn't know whether it was because he was hungry or because the chef was a good chef. It did taste delicious. "If you like it, eat more. We also have that private kitchen now."

If you have a membership card, you can order one meal a week. If you want to eat, we can go."

Of course, women should not overeat during pregnancy, especially in the later stages, and should eat small meals frequently, otherwise the fetus will be too large, which is not conducive to normal delivery, and the optimal weight of the fetus after birth is 6.2 pounds.

Of course, Han Rui now occasionally suffers from morning sickness. If she can eat this time, she might not be able to eat at all the next time. Therefore, Xu Zheng has no objections to her diet and will eat whatever she can.

Huang Xinyi was also hungry today. She ate half full before looking up and asking Xu Zheng, "You have been busy all day. You haven't gone through the wedding process yet, let alone the rehearsal. Let's go back later and make the rehearsal simple."

Once again.”

Xu Zheng was stunned for a moment, feeling ashamed, "By the way, where did you and the people from the wedding company decide on the wedding venue? Is it at home or here?"

As soon as he said this, the entire audience was silent. Except for Han Rui and Huang Xinyi, everyone stared at Xu Zheng with their mouths open. Grandma's eyelids were twitching, and she was eager to try the chopsticks in her right hand.

We are getting married the day after tomorrow, and the groom still doesn’t know where the wedding venue is. No one dares to believe it.

But it's really true.

Tian Xinyue reacted quickly and laughed awkwardly, "Xiao Zheng is too busy, and so are you, Xiao Rui. Please take some time to talk to him."

Han Rui actually didn't care about the rehearsal or not. Xu Zheng had already made the decision about the wedding venue, so she didn't want to trouble Xu Zheng anymore because of this matter. "Mom, it's okay. We will go over it briefly with the emcee later when we go back."

That’s fine.”

Han Dongwen quickly smoothed things over, "Xiao Zheng, Xiao Rui and Xin Yi discussed that the wedding venue should be arranged in the East and West Hutong in front of our door. Anyway, the Hutong is relatively wide. When the time comes, the stage will face east and chairs will be placed on both sides.

It's big enough to seat forty or fifty people.

As for the wedding reception process, let Xiaorui explain it to you in detail later."

Du Xiaole quickly diverted from this somewhat embarrassing matter and chatted about their wedding customs in Yudu City, Zhongping Province. As she spoke, she curiously asked her grandma, "Grandma, I don't know if you have a candidate to make the bed for the new house?"

I have two children, so I’ll recommend myself for a spot first.”

Grandma and Tian Xinyue both laughed, "But you can't make the bed. Then your son will have to make the bed."

Du Xiaole's son, Shi Fangyu, nicknamed Little Shitou, is over six years old and is preparing to go to elementary school after this summer vacation. However, when he was picked up from school, he wandered around, but his sister was a quiet little girl.

"Grandma Grandma, Grandma Han, could it be that if I rolled out the sheets for Uncle Xu's new bed, the baby in Aunt Xiaorui's belly would be a boy?"

Xiao Shitou's words really made everyone laugh. Children's words are boundless, and children's words also have meanings. Grandma Su Tongyun even grabbed him and said, "Whether it's a boy or a girl in your aunt Xiaorui's belly, your uncle Xu will like it. I'll wait for you tomorrow."

After you finish rolling the sheets, grandma will give you a big red envelope."

Because Xu Zheng and the others had something to do when they went back, they left early after Han Rui had eaten. Of course, before leaving, Xu Zheng toasted to several chefs and Du Xiaole and his wife one by one.

The hot pot restaurant was less than five minutes away from their home, but Han Rui wanted to eat up, so Xu Zheng and Huang Xinyi walked around with her nearby. It was already nine o'clock in the evening when they got home.

We can't rest just yet, because tomorrow is the wedding day after tomorrow. According to the tradition of Changming, the groom and the bride cannot meet. Grandma reminded Xu Zheng a long time ago, saying that not meeting is a sign of the woman's filial piety to her parents, and for the sake of

If the woman's family is good, it cannot be regarded as a bad habit, but a beautiful connotation.

Therefore, the wedding process can only be briefly reviewed tonight. It is a bit embarrassing to have the emcee come over at this point, but they are all eating this bowl of rice, so it is normal to have a hard time. After helping Xu Zheng and the others go through it, the emcee was able to

Before leaving, Xu Zheng gave him another red envelope.

When they woke up early the next morning, Xu Zheng and the others began to arrange the wedding venue. The stage could not be set up yet because the wedding process tomorrow started from Xu Zheng's house. Walking less than five meters east was the door of Han Rui's house. After receiving Han Rui, they walked around

Walking around the family home of the Municipal Public Security Bureau at the back is about two miles in total.

Then come in from the west gate of the alley, and the people who pick up the bride walk to the door of Xu Zheng's house, so that the process of picking up the bride is complete.

The next step is for the bride to get out of the car and go to the new house to celebrate the wedding. She simply tidies up her makeup. At this time, the family members who come to help take the opportunity to set up the wedding stage.

Anyway, Han Dongwen didn't let Xu Zheng worry about the procedures, because in addition to the master of ceremonies, he also hired a steward who was also a neighbor at the wedding, and Xu Zheng had to call him uncle.

After a busy morning, I have done everything I need to do, and I can’t rest anymore because according to local customs in Changming, the groom has to pay homage to his deceased elders the day before the wedding.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, after dinner, Xu Zheng's family, including his aunt and Ren Mingming, went to the police cemetery, where Xu Zheng's grandfather and parents were buried.

After laying out the tributes and the flowers Han Rui bought for her mother-in-law, Ren Mingming took the initiative to clean the two tombstones. Grandma and aunt squatted in front of grandpa's tombstone and talked for a while, and then chatted with Xu Zheng's parents for a while.

It probably means telling them that Xu Zheng is getting married tomorrow.

Xu Zhengze opened a bottle of Moutai, his grandfather drank half, his father drank half, and he drank the last drop.

It's like three generations celebrating together.

After sweeping the graves of his parents and grandfather, Xu Zheng, led by his grandma, sent flowers and salutes to their former colleagues and friends one by one.

After leaving the cemetery, grandma asked Xu Zheng to drive straight to the Yuhuatai Martyrs Cemetery. Not only are there the revolutionary martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the founding of the New Flower Country, but also a Pingjiang Provincial Public Security Martyrs Memorial Wall was built in 2008.

Over the years, more than 600 names have been engraved, all of them martyrs who sacrificed their lives on public security lines.

When they got here, the Xu family stared at the string of names on the wall in silence for a long time. Among them, the names of Xu Yanlin, Xu Wendong and Shi Yingxue were clearly listed. Grandma and aunt supported each other. She pointed to the memorial wall and said, "Xiao Zheng,

You know what these more than 600 names represent. Since you are here today, you can wipe all their names."

Under the scorching sun, Xu Zheng wiped the names carefully with a towel, Cai Hengyun, Bai Xiangmin, Wang Junliang

When I got home at five o'clock in the afternoon, my grandma and aunt were tired and needed to rest for a while. Xu Zheng took a shower and changed out of his police uniform. He couldn't rest because grandma's theater friends gave him and Han Rui a break tonight.

The wedding brings the everlasting traditional comedy show Bai Bureau.

He had to prepare a small stage.

No, at six o'clock in the evening, as the gongs and drums rang, five old ladies in red cheongsam sang "Qin Huai Mei" on the makeshift stage, while four or five old men played gongs on the other side.

Playing drums, Feng Xiao and Luan Guan.

Grandma, aunt, and nearby neighbors, all older people, sat in front of the stage and listened intently to the play.

At the end of the white game, these old people really didn't charge a penny, and they even handed Xu Zheng red envelopes, saying that they were grandma's friends, and sent them away.

The stage that was built was dismantled.

After working hard for a long time, making other preparations before the wedding, and settling his classmates and friends from afar, he took the opportunity to sleep in the wedding room for a while.

The rest of the trivial matters were left to Han Dongwen and Tian Xinyue.

At six o'clock the next day, he was called up and asked to cooperate with the steward and the master of ceremonies to prepare things and candidates for the wedding.

Han Rui chose a full Chinese-style wedding this time, which is also commonly known as the eight-carriage sedan. Good guy, this is something Xu Zheng had never thought of before. The entire wedding process was designed by the wedding company, Han Rui and Huang Xinyi
