Official Ladder [Grassroots Civil Servants]

The eighth day of the first lunar month is suitable for marriage.

Before eight o'clock, Secretary Guo Mingxiong was in place and greeted everyone warmly. Hu Feng stayed around like a bodyguard.

At eight o'clock sharp, the convoy set off, and the bear did his part.

Wang Hongtao was elegant in a suit and looked particularly energetic.

Three hours later, the convoy arrived at Liu Mengyao's home.

Wang Hongtao got out of the car with flowers in his hand, and was about to enter the new house to "please". Unexpectedly, he was blocked by relatives and friends.

After being lively for a while, the manager Hu Feng presided over the wedding with four gifts: "tobacco, wine, meat, and lotus root".

Then came the farewell, the bride said goodbye to her parents by knocking, and the groom just bowed and saluted.

After the ceremony, the seats will begin.

The uncle of the bride was in charge, and with the help of relatives, 8 tables of banquets were set up. Everyone had a lively feast, and a couple of newcomers toasted everyone one by one.

After the banquet, the welcoming team will leave.The two families have been in contact for many years, and they both know the basics. They have been like the same family for a long time, so they are basically not sad or crying. The chat was in full swing.

Liu Mengyao often went back to her natal family, and Wang Hongtao was very satisfactory in all aspects, so the two families felt that marriage was just a formality, and they were all beaming.

There is an expressway from Yanzhou to Shuanglong, and it takes more than an hour to drive there.

When the wedding team arrived in Saibei, night was about to fall, and it went well at Liu Mengyao's house, but when classmates and friends stopped the wedding car with firecrackers a few kilometers away from home, Wang Hongtao knew that it would be difficult to pass, and he had to carry his wife, otherwise everyone It is served with sticks.

Secretary Guo Mingxiong didn't care about it, and followed Wang Hongtao's jokes. This is a folk custom.

Amidst everyone's pushing and shoving, Wang Hongtao walked several miles with his wife on his back, and almost collapsed from exhaustion, Liu Mengyao laughed happily.

Finally arrived at the door of the house, and performed the ceremony again according to the local customs. Hu Feng is very professional and probably learned it specially.

After entering the bridal chamber, Liu Mengyao started to recognize relatives again. Liu Mengyao took out the prepared underwear, met every relative, and received a lot of red envelopes.

After it was completely over, Wang Hongtao collapsed on the bed from exhaustion.

After seven o'clock, the students came and prepared to have a bridal chamber. This was the part that Wang Hongtao was most afraid of, so he begged everyone to show mercy.

However, everyone was unmoved, each of them had a show, and if they couldn’t finish it, they still had to play. There were more than 80 people, and they couldn’t stay in the house, so they came in wave after wave until twelve o’clock in the middle of the night. After they dispersed, Wang Hongtao felt that his legs were not his own, and his body was bruised and purple.

Liu Mengyao was also tired and paralyzed, but she was not beaten much, after all, everyone took care of the lesbians.

It's over, the night is quiet, and you're getting married!

Marriage is a happy decision. It is the holding hands of two lovers.

There is a kind of tacit understanding called tacit understanding, there is a kind of feeling called indescribable, and there is a kind of happiness called being with you.

Wang Hongtao said with some emotion: "Mengyao, we got married today! With you, I miss you more, and with you, I have more tenderness. I am willing to shelter you from wind and rain forever, and spend the day and night together. , all I can think of is growing old with you! Hold your hand and grow old with you!"

Liu Mengyao turned around and lay down in Wang Hongtao's arms, and said softly: "Honey, do you know? I want to be with you when I graduate. If you don't look for me, I will look for you too. I have decided a long time ago. I must be with you, and I can only be with you. I have been together for four years, and you have not made me feel wronged. I believe in you, we will be very happy, and I will do what a wife should do , so that you have no worries."

The two are so affectionate that nothing needs to be said.

The next day, the wedding banquet is about to begin.

The largest hotel in Saibei can only seat 20 tables.

Hu Feng reserved 5 private rooms in advance, one to entertain his natal family, one to entertain county leaders, and the rest to entertain department leaders.

Because it was within a week, all the county authorities were talking about the marriage of Wang Hongtao, the head of the county party committee, who was just married at such a young age.

When it was almost twelve o'clock, the guests came one after another. Wang Hongtao was in charge of welcoming them, and colleagues from the county party committee office and government office entertained the guests.

Guo Mingxiong arrived early and sat in the main seat of the private room.Then the county-level leaders came one after another, and they found the right position. Basically, no one was absent, which gave Wang Hongtao enough face.

After several years of training in important positions, the county's important leaders above the sub-section level basically know each other, and they all have intersections in their work, not to mention the bureau chiefs.

Wang Hongtao felt his face was almost swollen from laughing.

At twelve o'clock, the wedding banquet started on time.

Wang Hongtao led Liu Mengyao to toast table by table, and the first table was Secretary Guo Mingxiong's table.

Secretary Guo was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Hong Tao, a century-old love knot, a marriage of thousands of miles, I wish you a happy wedding and a happy marriage for a hundred years!" Everyone also wished the two newcomers.

Those who are interested have figured it out, the county-level leaders are basically all in place, almost all the county bureau chiefs are absent, more than half of the deputies come, and some come uninvited, and the two offices are all working.This may be regarded as the most powerful wedding banquet in the history of Saibei, because many people were still junior staff members when they got married and did not have such great energy. This shows how popular Wang Hongtao is in Saibei!

There were 20 tables in one round, and there were 5 rounds, nearly 100 tables. The wedding banquet lasted for three hours.

After the wedding banquet, Wang Hongtao was so busy that he didn't even bother to eat a meal. Toasting was also a physical effort, and Liu Mengyao was so tired that he sat motionless on the chair.

The two said in unison: "Never get married again!" They looked at each other and smiled.

Xiao Bin and Wei Wei were in charge of recording the ceremony, and in the middle of the recording, they hurriedly asked someone to bring a black bag to put money in, and they dared not settle accounts until they returned home.

The two carefully checked the gift book several times, and finally handed it over to Wang Hongtao, receiving a gift money of 38.6. This was the beginning of 2006. Thanks to the fact that the eight regulations had not been issued, no one paid much attention to it, otherwise it would still be troublesome.

But this is also reasonable, after all, the gift money received has to be returned, and except for Guo Mingxiong's gift money of 1000 yuan, most of the others are [-] yuan, which is reasonable.

Wang Hongtao gave the gift money directly to his parents, saying that it was the start-up capital for the kindergarten.

The next day, all the classmates left, and so did the relatives. The house finally became quiet, and at least we could talk.

My parents have already discussed with my uncle that I still have to go to the capital, but they will come back after May Day, and they have also decided to run a kindergarten in Yanzhou. My father still doesn't want to go back to Saibei, and he tries not to show up at the wedding. Embarrass my son.

On the third day, my parents left, and Wang Hongtao drove Liu Mengyao "back home". Even returning to her mother's house is also a custom, and both sides have this particularity.

The two were warmly received by the father-in-law's family, and the two younger brothers-in-law were also very warm, and the brother-in-law shouted long and short.

Wang Hongtao learned about the situation of the next two brothers-in-law, basically the same as his own memory, the second brother Junjun is in the third year of junior high school, and the third brother Yongyong is in the third year of high school. Like his younger brother Haowei, he is facing the college entrance examination, but he is not as good as Haowei. good.

Wang Hongtao taught the two brothers-in-law that they must study hard and complete their studies smoothly.The two brothers-in-law, Wang Hongtao, would definitely manage it. In my memory, Junjun joined a state-owned enterprise and was a technician all his life. He bravely searched for a job for several years, and finally joined the private company Mengniu.

After returning home for a day, I returned to Saibei.After arriving home, the two stayed quietly for a few days. It was still the first month of the lunar year, and the secretary and work unit were not busy. Wang Hongtao took a few days of marriage leave with peace of mind, enjoying the rare comfort since he started working.

In the past few days, no one disturbed me, I just stayed with my beloved wife, and didn't go to work until after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
