That year the flowers bloomed 1981

"Come on, come on, the bride-to-be wedding team is back and ready to shoot off the cannons."

Yang Yumin had just returned to Zhongguancun with the Li family's escort team. Sun Xianxian, who was on guard at the street entrance, ran all the way to the door of Yang's house and directed several classmates from the Gujun Literary Club to give out the firecrackers that had been prepared. Lifted up.

At this time, the firecrackers were not spread out on the ground, and they were all tied up with poles, and they were carried and crackled to move and set off. It was much more exciting than "fully automatic" in a bunk underground.

So setting off firecrackers is a hot job now. Sun Xianxian was able to grab the job of setting off firecrackers with the help of Gujun Literary Society!

Hearing that the wedding team had returned, there was a commotion in the yard of the Yang family. Many people ran to the door, among which three people, two men and one woman, were particularly conspicuous.

Two of the men were both around thirty years old, and both wore ill-fitting suits and brand-new cloth shoes, which were unique to the early 1980s.

Although suits these days do have this "baggy" characteristic, with the emergence of Fenghua brand, fashionable suits have become more and more "slim-fitting", so what do you think of these two men's suits? A little awkward.

The other woman was wearing ordinary clothes, but she was blocking the door, moving left and right to block Yang Yujiao who wanted to come out.

"Go back and stay. What your unrelated sister is doing out today is making people laugh."

Yang Yujiao had a softer temperament, but after being scolded by this middle-aged woman, she burst into tears and lost her confidence.

Sun Xianxian knew Yang Yujiao, and he couldn't understand it when he saw her shrinking inside the door and wanting to come out, but not daring to come out.

The girlfriend next to her, Bian Jingjing, was still good at capturing gossip information, and said to Sun Xian in a low voice: "Those three people don't seem to be right. After we came up last night, we talked with Aunt Yang and Yang Yumin in the room for a long time. Auntie came out. I obviously cried when I was there."

"Are you here to cause trouble?"

Sun Xianxian, a native of Heilongjiang Province, had a straightforward temper, and he immediately disliked the three people.

But Bian Jingjing quietly poked her boyfriend and said in a low voice: "Lao Yang's leader is here today! We are outsiders and can't take the initiative to do anything. Let's see how Yang Yumin responds later."

Sun Xianxian glanced at the three people and suddenly said: "They'd better not make trouble, otherwise someone will let them know what trouble means!"

Bian Jingjing nodded in agreement, expressing his agreement.

After all, Li Ye, as his brother-in-law, must be here to see off his bride today. He is not a frustrated master.

If anyone makes him uncomfortable, he is sure to make others twice as uncomfortable.

It's just that even though Bian Jingjing was astute, he never expected that it wouldn't be Li Ye's turn to take the lead in today's matter because he couldn't be ranked.

"Crack, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle crackle

Accompanied by the loud and intensive sound of firecrackers, a line of cars lined up at the door of Yang's house, attracting the attention of many people and earning a burst of surprised "oh"s.

"There are so many cars. The Yang family who just moved here has a good background."

"Maybe the bride is capable! I often see the new wife driving over in a car. She seems to be the manager of the Fenghua brand, the same Fenghua brand that is shown on TV all day long."

"Hey, she is a manager at such a young age. That's not because she is capable, but because her father is."

"Looking at what you said, if you were capable, wouldn't your son benefit from it? I'm afraid you are incompetent, right?"

"."

I don't blame the neighbors for pointing their fingers. In fact, cars from 1984 are still relatively scarce. Even in the big capital, they are far from being "everywhere".

If a family can borrow the boss's car for a wedding, that will definitely be a great honor.

But now there are not just one or two cars in the Li family's wedding party.

The one with the red flower on the head is Jin Peng's new car, followed by Pei Wenhui's small BMW, and several Santanas from Pengcheng No. 7 Factory.

As for the Volga that was just assigned to Wang Jianqiang, Chen Donggou's Ladaniva, and a Jingcheng 130 that was pulling goods, they could only be ranked at the bottom.

The two men in suits licked their lips and looked at the row of cars in front of them with envy.

One of them whispered: "Brother, when can we get in this car?"

The other one said firmly: "I can sit on it today. I will tell my sister-in-law later that his new wife just came in and she doesn't dare to show off my face."

"But... I don't think our brother likes us very much."

"Does he dare? There is an organization. If he dares to look down on us, I will go to his workplace and sue him so that he can walk around in pain."

"."

The firecrackers prepared by the Yang family were very long, and the firecracker fuses these days were not so urgent. They crackled for a long time before they stopped.

After the firecrackers were fired, the smell of sulfur in the air had not yet dissipated. The man at the door glanced at the woman next to him, and the woman quickly rushed to the back door of the leading car and reached out to pull the door open.

"Welcoming the bride!"

But she pulled twice in succession, but the car door could not be opened, and the window glass was lowered.

The little sister Li Ying opened her big eyes and said cutely and crisply: "Who are you? Don't pull it, otherwise it will break. My family will have to pay for it."

"."

The woman was startled, and then she realized that the bride Li Yue, the groom Yang Yumin, and this annoying little girl were excluded from the back of the car.

"How can I spoil it? Hehe, I'm Yumin's sister-in-law. I'm in a hurry to pick up the bride. We're home now. Can't we miss the time?"

"Are you coming to pick up the bride?" Li Ying tilted her head strangely, suddenly pointed at Yang Yujiao at the door, and shouted loudly: "Yujiao, why don't you come to pick up your sister-in-law? You're hiding behind like a brat. ?”

Li Ying only met Yang Yujiao once when the parents of the two families met, and their relationship was only average.

But after learning about the relationship between Yang Yumin and Yang Yujiao this morning, the relationship suddenly became several times closer.

Because the relationship between Yang Yujiao and Yang Yumin is not the same as the relationship between Li Ying and Li Ye?

Not real brothers and sisters, but better than real brothers and sisters!

Yang Yujiao, who was blocked in the door, immediately gained courage after hearing Li Ying's call. She squeezed past the two "eldest and second brothers" standing at the door, ran to the wedding car with small steps, and reached out to open the car door.

Yang Yumin's "sister-in-law" immediately frowned.

I, the "real sister-in-law", pulled her away twice, but Yang Yujiao, the sister across the wall, pulled her away all at once. Are you making me look bad?

But she hasn't figured out how to attack it yet! Li Ying, who was in the back seat, and Li Juan, who was in the passenger seat, both got out of the car and squeezed to both sides of the door. Together with Yang Yujiao, they pushed the sister-in-law aside.

At this time, Yang Yumin got out of the car and reached out to help the bride, Li Yue, get out of the car.

"Hey, look at this bride, I'm right! She's more beautiful than that movie star."

"Hey, what's going on with that dress she's wearing? But it's so pretty."

"Don't you know? This is a popular women's wedding dress from Hong Kong Island. There is an import store on Xiushui Street that sells this. It is the tradition of our ancestors."

"Her clothes are not entirely ancestral traditions. When I was a child, I saw my aunt's wedding clothes, which are different from hers. However, hers requires a lot of needlework and is not cheap at first glance."

"It's a pity. If there was another red hijab, it would be like filming a movie."

"You don't even look at the groom's official position, and he has a red hijab. It's bold enough to wear it like this."

"What's so bold about it? You're only going to get married once in your life. You don't care about God or earth, and you don't care about whether you wear something different or not? Just wear that foreigner's suit?"

"."

There was a commotion at the door, which was quite lively.

But the two "eldest brother and second brother" who were blocking the door looked very unhappy.

This bride has not yet entered the house, and she is making such a big show. Will she be able to serve her parents-in-law obediently from now on?

So when the three little girls were escorting the bride and groom through the door, the two "brothers" in suits and cloth shoes were not allowed in.

"My sister-in-law is finally here! Why didn't you let your sister-in-law get off the bus just now? Hahaha, if you have any opinions about your sister-in-law, tell me. I'll fix her when I get back. A woman turned against her?"

"You have to blame the third child for this. If you get married secretly and don't tell your family early, won't you just make people look at you? Let's introduce ourselves. I am your second brother. This is your eldest brother. That is you. Sister-in-law. And your eldest nephew."

Weddings at flower-growers have always had the habit of being joyful. In some places, there is a custom of blocking the bride outside the door and laughing.

But generally, a brother-in-law can block the door and shamelessly make things difficult for the new sister-in-law for two pocket money, but it is not appropriate for the eldest brother to block the door.

Yang Yumin gritted his teeth tightly and wanted to go up and beat these two guys.

He knew very well that these two blood brothers wanted Li Yue to call them brother and sister-in-law in front of so many people.

Yang Yumin knows very well that everything has a beginning. If he recognizes this eldest brother and sister-in-law today, there will be many things to climb up in the future.

My mother, Yang Huaihua, was usually a strong person, but today she suddenly lost her mind on this matter. I hate that he, a "younger generation", was suppressed by some bullshit morality.

This kind of moral suppression is very Cao Dan. If there are rumors circulating in the workplace that a certain person is fighting against his biological parents and biological brothers, does that mean that it will not affect the way the superiors view you? Absolutely impossible.

Yang Yumin suddenly had an impulse.

[I’m going to give up this job. The worst I can do is sell clothes to my wife and I. 】

But at this moment, Yang Yumin felt his arm tighten. It was Li Yue who pinched his arm to remind him not to be impulsive.

Then, Yang Yumin saw his youngest sister, Li Ying, walking in the door with her head sullen.

But there are two grown men blocking the door! Didn’t this happen immediately?

"Aww~"

Li Ying suddenly burst into tears. While crying, she asked aggrievedly: "What are you doing? Why are you not letting us in? We have to go to church in a hurry, what are you doing?"

"."

Although Li Ying cried like thunder but no rain, she immediately disrupted the position of the eldest brother and the second brother.

Li Ye, who was following behind, was very surprised.

He was surprised because of his grandmother Wu Juying's eyesight.

Wu Juying told her two younger sisters, Li Juan and Li Ying, in advance that they would cry if someone stopped them, but this crying also had to be technical! I never thought that my little sister Li Ying actually had this "skill".

"Ahem~"

A steady cough came from behind the crowd.

Li Zhongfa crossed the crowd with a sullen expression, his hands behind his back, and walked to the front.

"You two, the time is almost here, why don't we go in first? You see, we have sent our daughter here, so we can't be so disgusted that we won't let her in, right?"

"."

"You old comrade, how can we not let the bride in? We just have that custom. But who are you, old comrade? What is your name?"

Li Zhongfa smiled slightly and pointed at Li Yue at the door.

"This is my granddaughter, and I am his grandfather."

"."

Well, grandpa arrives, what do you call me?

Of course you have to call me grandpa.

The eldest brother and the second brother were a little stupid because this was against the rules.

Generally speaking, there are no direct elders of the bride in the procession of sending off the bride, and the main ones are uncles and uncles.

But Li Kaijian is the only brother, Li Yue has no uncle, and Fu Guiru has no brothers. There is an uncle whose cousin is still in Malay!

So today, the two uncles Zhao Yuanchao and Cui Zhixian, as well as Li Dayong's father Li Zhanjun, were originally scheduled to be the main ones. The woman was the main aunt Li Mingxiang.

But things have changed, and grandpa has no choice but to go into battle himself and "screen" his eldest uncle Cui Zhixian.

When the two eldest and second brothers saw Li Zhongfa, they didn't know how to receive him. They could only call him grandpa!

"Hey, grandpa, why are you here in person? Yumin didn't even say hello. You didn't treat him well. You didn't treat him well."

Yang Yumin's eldest brother had no choice but to receive Li Zhongfa with a smile on his face, and was then led into the courtyard by Zhao Yuanchao and Li Zhanjun who followed behind him.

There is no way to resist!

Today, the main focus of the Li family is to "steal the guests and steal the show."

Li Yue pulled Yang Yumin's arm and whispered: "Let's go! Just don't say anything today. If you don't say anything, there will be nothing wrong. Leave everything to grandpa."

Yang Yumin's nose felt sore and he couldn't help but said: "Thank you, I am grateful to you today."

Li Yue turned around and gave Yang Yumin a roll of his eyes, and said displeasedly: "If you talk about two families again, I won't let you in!"

"."

"You two, stop inking. There are two old people inside! Take me in quickly and see what kind of business this is."

Li Ye pushed Yang Yumin from behind before pushing the two newcomers into the yard.

After entering the courtyard, Li Ye saw that the guests in the courtyard were clearly divided into two parts. One part was Yang Yumin's classmates, and the other part was naturally the colleagues and leaders of the unit.

As for Yang Yumin's biological eldest and second brothers, they are the third part, along with the two other old men sitting in the main room.

The two old men had already moved the chairs and were sitting motionless in the most conspicuous place in the main room, feeling like two masters, waiting for the newcomer to visit.

But after the eldest brother whispered a few words to him, it was impossible for them to stay still. This was a lifetime difference! People are standing in the yard and you are still sitting in the house. Is there super glue stuck under your butt?

The old man quickly got up and came to the yard, and said to Li Zhongfa: "Hey, my grandpa, how can I trouble you to come? This is too troublesome for you."

Li Zhongfa said with a smile: "My daughter is marrying thousands of miles away. My family must not be worried about it. As a result, Yang Yumin told me something today, and his father is even more worried. But his father is soft-tempered and does not want his daughter to marry." Man, why don’t you just drive me over and give me a gift?”

"There's nothing to worry about. Don't worry, her grandfather. We are both kind people and we will definitely not treat Li Yue badly."

The old man patted his chest and made a promise, and Li Zhongfa smiled and nodded. He didn't say much to them, but turned towards Yang Yumin's colleagues.

Li Zhongfa came today not to deal with Yang Yumin's two biological parents. These two people were not worthy of his visit.

Before Li Zhongfa could reach Yang Yumin's colleagues, they all came forward to greet him and greeted him with a smile.

"It's hard work, old comrade. When did you arrive in Beijing? How long was the train ride on the road?"

After Li Zhongfa answered one by one, he said to someone wearing glasses: "Is this Director Yang?"

Director Yang was slightly surprised and asked, "What? Does the old comrade know me?"

[I can guess who you are just by knowing you and judging by their attitude towards you. 】

There are hidden connections within the system. Of course Li Zhongfa can tell who is the boss at a glance.

"Hey, I only heard of his name but not the person," Li Zhong said with a smile: "I read the newspaper every day, and I saw Director Yang's article in the newspaper on the 16th of last month. Later I heard Yumin talk about it , and then I realized it was his leader!”

Director Yang smiled.

"The old man reads newspapers every day. I wonder what your job is?"

"I am the director of a small factory in the countryside, the director of Qingshuihe instant noodles."

Li Zhongfa introduced himself to Director Yang and pointed to the door.

Li Dayong, Jin Peng and others at the door were moving instant noodles into the yard, stacking boxes one after another.

"There are not many good things in this small unit in the countryside. It just so happens that the factory recently had a batch of market research activities. Everyone will bring a box back later to help taste it. It will be regarded as wedding candy.

Of course, if there is any inappropriate taste, you must tell us. If it helps improve our products, our factory will formally thank you. "

"Qingshuihe instant noodles? Isn't it the one advertised on TV?"

Director Yang suddenly said: "I know about this instant noodles, but what does this research activity mean?"

Director Yang is very strict. Although he said he was serving as wedding candy, he still had to ask.

So Li Zhongfa explained to Director Yang how Qingshuihe instant noodles had undergone dozens of taste improvements before they were officially launched on the market, and would continue to adjust to the best taste based on customer feedback in the future.

During this explanation process, Director Yang realized that Li Zhongfa was only half a level lower than him. Although Director Yang was much more powerful, Li Zhongfa had greater freedom, and the two of them could talk together.

There are implicit rules within the system. If it were Zhao Yuanchao who came here, he would probably be able to knock him down with just a few words.

"I shouldn't have come today, but my son is young and can't make up his mind when something happens, and he's also afraid that our family will dislike him."

Li Zhongfa said helplessly: "But how can we dislike it? Yu Min, this child, has had a hard life. It's not easy to get to where he is today. Why don't I come over now? No matter what, I have to let them get the marriage done smoothly, right? ?”

"."

Director Yang nodded slowly and smiled gently: "Indeed, Xiao Yang is a good kid. He only said a few words to me this morning, and he didn't understand.

As an outsider, I don't know much about what's going on, so I can't help him with advice. I was worried just now, but now that the old gentleman is here, I can rest assured. "

"Okay, then Director Yang, please bear with me."

Li Zhong didn't say much, bowed his hands to Director Yang, and turned back to Yang Yumin.

He has already made it clear that what he is going to do later will be caused by him, Li Zhongfa, so please be patient.

"Where is your mother? Why haven't you seen her?"

Li Zhongfa asked Yang Yumin in a deep voice.

Yang Yumin pointed to the west wing and whispered: "My mother said she wouldn't come out today. I didn't want to, so she cried. Just now Li Ye took his aunt in to persuade her, but I don't know what happened."

While he was talking, Li Ye and his sister-in-law Li Mingxiang came out of the west wing and nodded to Li Zhongfa.

Then Li Ye went to mutter a few words to Li Huaisheng and Secretary Li of the Youth League Committee.

Both of them were stunned for a moment, then nodded repeatedly.

"Dear guests, thank you for coming to this couple's wedding. Now all units require that everything be kept simple, so we will invite the elders from both sides to say a few words and then worship heaven and earth."

As the woman's head, Li Zhongfa had the highest seniority, so he was naturally the first to speak.

"Parents have been pulling their children for more than ten years. Today, the task is completed. In the future, the children will naturally have to walk their own path, but you must be grateful and grateful for the upbringing of your parents."

"There is another little episode today. The groom's biological parents also rushed to the scene to congratulate the two newlyweds."

"As for me! I just rely on my old age to make arrangements. If you are born, you will be kind, and if you are raised, you will be kind. In worshiping your parents, no one can be missing."

Li Zhongfa called Yang Yumin and Li Yue over, and then said loudly: "Today was originally a happy event, but there are some things that are not very happy, but I must mention it today."

"That is Yu Min, the child's adoptive father. He died in the war in 1962. He did not see the child today. This is his regret, but the two children can never forget the people who sacrificed for us. .

Mother-in-law, it’s time for you to come out, right? "

"."

The door to the west wing opened, and Yang Huaihua walked out with red eyes, holding a colorful photo frame.

In the photo frame is a color photo, in which a man in a green military uniform is in his prime, strong and upright.

Yang Huaihua hugged the photo frame and sat silently on the chair in the main room.

The two old men and women who were originally entrenched here were still reluctant to leave, but when they looked up, they were shocked.

Everyone looked at them with such unkind eyes, as if they were saying: "Come on, try the green military uniform in this photo.

Try grabbing the August 1st red star on his hat! "

"."

"First worship the heaven and earth, and second worship the high hall."

The newlyweds, with red eyes, kowtowed heavily to the red-eyed Yang Huaihua, completing the most important step of the ceremony today.

But the two old men suddenly didn't want to accept their kneeling for the second time.

Can't compare, it's a shame.

And what kind of thing is standing in line behind Yang Huaihua to kneel down and worship?
