Wear the book and be reborn as a group favorite for 50 people

On December 1962, 12, everyone got up early in the morning. Everyone took leave a day in advance and tidied up the courtyard and old house where the eldest cousin would live. It stands to reason that the unit where you get married now requires you to be allocated a room, but the first cousin is in a special situation. His current relationship is still in the Xinjiang Military Region, and the room you want to be allocated is also in Xinjiang Province. As for the hall sister-in-law, due to the shortage of housing in Huada and the short wedding period, there is no house to share with them. Anyway, if she has a house at home, she should give it to comrades who need it more.

After decorating the new house, I stayed in the new house that night with my brother Zhanbo and my third cousin from my uncle's family. They said it was a bed-press, but in fact there were no younger boys in the family, so we could only let the two youngest brothers serve. .

It was rare that the whole family was together, so we started to have breakfast after the two brothers came back. After a while, my uncle and second cousin also came, and the first cousin’s good friends also came over one after another. The second cousin and they were going to have a chat with each other. My cousin went to pick up the bride together.

After breakfast, I changed into brand new clothes. My cousin was still in his military uniform. After being specially dressed today, my cousin looked even more handsome. He was exuding joy on this big day. Several friends laughed and joked for a while, then went out at the urging of the eldest aunt.

Nowadays, the most popular thing for picking up a bride is not a car, but a bicycle. There are about a dozen young guys riding shiny bicycles that are all polished in the same color. There is a big red flower hanging in front of each bicycle. Just looking at the weather outside, Tang Xin really wanted to ask, aren't they cold? The temperature in Beijing is not very high in December. But she didn't dare to ask these questions. Seeing everyone's interest, she decided not to let down the fun.

Jiang Wenbai also came. He and his grandparents were also going to attend his cousin's wedding. Since the wedding was not held at home, there was nothing he needed to help with. The wedding venue was set at the auditorium of the University of Washington. When the time comes, everyone can go directly to the auditorium.

"Are you going to be so stupid when you get married when you grow up? Riding a bicycle to pick up the bride on a cold day?" Tang Xin complained to Jiang Wenbai.

"Well, that's a bit silly. Wouldn't it be better to schedule the wedding in autumn or spring? The weather is just right." I didn't think there was anything wrong with the first cousin and the others riding bicycles to pick up the bride. Even Jiang Wenbai thought it was quite cool. But when Tang Xin said this, he felt a little stupid. It was indeed a bit bad to pick up the bride and let her sit on the back seat of a bicycle and be blown by the cool breeze. If he did, he would not let Tang Xin freeze.

"Sugar baby, have you ever thought about your future wedding? What do you want to marry?" Jiang Wenbai decided to find out first and take note of it.

"Me?" Tang Xin thought of her wedding in her previous life. It was quite cool, but what's the use? It didn't end tragically in the end. It felt a little boring for a while.

"Huh? What's wrong, Sugar Baby?" Jiang Wenbai clearly felt Tang Xin's momentary depression and asked quickly.

"Ah, it's okay. The form of the reception is not important. I hope that my wedding can be held in a warm time, with bright sunshine and colorful flowers. I may not invite many people, but I hope that everyone who comes to the wedding will bring My most sincere blessings. This is enough." Tang Xin looked at Jiang Wenbai and said.

Jiang Wenbai nodded and took Tang Xin's words to heart.

Tang Xin took the Jiang family's car and arrived at the new house first with the Jiang family. Tang Xin did not participate in the specific process of receiving the bride. They had to go to the new house in advance to entertain the relatives from the bride's family.

The courtyard of the uncle's family has been renovated early. Yesterday, they made new decorations. When they opened the door with the red word "Happy" on it, the yard was bright red. Red lanterns were hung on the trees in the yard, and happy words were posted on the doors of each room.

Of course, the main room is reserved for the eldest uncle and eldest aunt. The furniture inside is fully equipped, and the bedding and other things are also arranged. The eldest aunt and the others can come back to live at any time. When the eldest uncle's family was reorganizing the courtyard, it happened that the uncle's family also wanted to install a fire pit for their courtyard. The eldest aunt also took a fancy to Tang Xin's family's fire pit, so she also wanted to install it for her room. Then she asked the eldest cousin and Ning Based on the opinions of Yue and his third cousin, the whole family unanimously agreed to set up the fire bed. It happened that the second uncle's house was also very close, so we might as well just make the fire bed together for the three families. Those days would have exhausted these people.

That's fine. When the weather gets cold, Mr. Tang and Mrs. Tang can come and live here when they have nothing to do. With their three sons nearby, isn't it much better than living in the compound?

After opening the courtyard door, we invited Mr. and Mrs. Tang, as well as Grandpa and Grandma Jiang into the main room. Father Tang, uncles and aunts hurriedly went to each room to light the stoves. In this way, after the team to receive the bride came back, the house was It's just warm.

The eldest cousin’s wedding room was chosen in the east wing. The room was divided into two compartments. There was a living room upon entering. On the wall facing the door were portraits of leaders. Below was a chest of drawers with a black and white TV. The TV is what attracts attention as soon as you enter the house. There is also a radio placed next to the TV. A square table was placed further forward, with four stools around it. On the table were two red thermoses, a tea set and several plates filled with melon seeds, peanuts, candies, and fruits. There are small happy words on them.

On the left side of the room is a large wardrobe and a sewing machine, and on the right side is a large bookshelf, which is already filled with books, all of which must be the hall's sister-in-law's books. Next to the bookcase is a double sofa, which is made of wood and has soft cushions on it.

The bedroom is relatively simple. There is a large kang bed at the door, with a kang cabinet placed on it. Several brand-new bed covers are folded neatly, with big red happy characters on them. There is a desk against the wall on the ground floor, which is convenient for the lobby sister-in-law to work.

This kind of new house is definitely high-end in this era.

The hall's sister-in-law's mother-in-law's family came to visit the new house. They were all very envious. Ning Yue married so well. Not only did she have 72 legs, but she even had three turns and one ring. Look at the TV set in the main room. Ning Yue will be blessed in the future.

After bowing to the elders in the main room, everyone rushed to the school auditorium to prepare for the wedding ceremony. Originally, there was no such step in getting married now, but after all, Mr. Tang has a special status, so this process was added after the two families discussed it. The Tang family's grandson is the first to get married, so the old couple must participate anyway, right?

The auditorium has been decorated, with photos of the leaders hanging in the center, and bright red flowers and the words "happy" hanging next to them. The school staff have long been accustomed to these procedures, and the decoration is very festive.

Relevant leaders of the school and trade union personnel had arrived early, and relatives and friends of the couple also arrived one after another. When the time came, the leader of the school trade union made a speech, blessing the couple on becoming a revolutionary couple and saying some words of blessing. Then bow to the leader's photo and bow to the parents of both parties. The wedding ceremony is over. It's very simple.

"It's so simple. It's over like this." Tang Xin sighed.

"Isn't the process of marriage all the same? Is there anything different?" Jiang Wenbai, who was standing next to Tang Xin, asked.

"It would be best to add a few more rituals, such as exchanging tokens, reading out wedding vows, etc. That would make it more ceremonial." Tang Xin actually wanted to talk about the wedding ceremony in her previous life, but if she said it I'm afraid it's a bit unacceptable to them, so I can only pick a few that are more acceptable now.

"Well, that's right. After all, you only get married once in your life, so you really need to leave more memories." Jiang Wenbai thought for a while and nodded.

Tang Xin was quite surprised. Jiang Wenbai was quite receptive to new things. From now on, she could talk to him more about future events.

The two of them walked out as they talked. All the relatives and friends attending the wedding moved to the school cafeteria to attend the wedding banquet together. The wedding banquet was also prepared according to normal standards. The Tang family had no special arrangements, but it was a wedding banquet after all, and there was still fish and meat, and everyone still enjoyed the meal very happily.

Since everyone is advocating new things and doing new things and opposing bad habits, the custom of having a wedding ceremony has disappeared. After lunch, the others left directly and went home. Only their relatives, the younger generation, and close friends of the newlyweds were left. No matter how lively the gathering of colleagues is, they usually disperse before dinner.

After all the relatives and friends have left, only the closest people are left in the family. For fear of making noise, Mr. Tang and Mr. Chen returned to Tang Xin's house first, so everyone went to Tang Xin's house and planned to have dinner at her house.
