Chapter 170

Wang Dajun was a man of understanding
Xu Wen certainly wouldn’t be confused either
But the rest of the Xu family were in a hurry
They knew that without a letter of introduction, it would be difficult for them to move forward
In the evening, the Xu family didn’t cook, and had dinner on the same noodles that they had served to the three captains in the afternoon, but none of them had eaten
Zhu Meizhen was worried, “Ask, do you think our captain will really refuse to give us a letter of introduction?”
Xu Wen said, “Mother, don’t worry, if the chief won’t open a letter of introduction, there’s still the commune! If it’s not possible, we’ll just move our household registration I don’t believe the commune will be willing to do that! When my sister and I come back next year, we’ll be ten thousand yuan households We’ll be big names in the city! I don’t believe the commune will let us go
Besides, we haven’t done anything wrong! We’re not talking about being the first to get rich and bringing wealth to the next generation, so if we make money ourselves and are willing to bring money to the townspeople, what’s wrong with that?”
Xu Qiushi glared at Xu Wen, “Nonsense! This is where our family has lived for three generations, and your grandparents’ graves are still there! You can move the account just like that?”
Sang Xiaoqing hurriedly rounded off the conversation, “Father, don’t be angry! Xu Wen was just talking in anger You can’t blame the team leaders for asking the family about such a trivial matter There are hundreds of people in our Taoyuan production team, and we can only take a few dozen people away, so it’s not like we’re hurting the team’s roots, right? As for my mother’s family and Sister Wang’s family, they didn’t enroll as many people as we did, so why did they come to us?”
The team is often labeled as leaving the old and sick behind, so it’s no wonder that Xu Man and Xu Wen are angry
Zhu Meizhen grunted, “Why else? The captain’s authority has been challenged by us! In the past years, all families sent good food and drink to the captain’s house, hoping that the next year’s division of labor would give them lighter and less laborious work with higher scores
Although there are hundreds of families in a brigade, there are only a few dozen families that are smart enough to do things right, and this year most of them are coming to our house It’s no wonder the captain is happy!”
“A woman’s opinion!” Xu Qiushi scolded, “He is at least a captain, that awareness can be as low as you only see the things in the dishes? The captain is really afraid that we will leave behind the old, weak, women and children, and take all the people of the brigade out
It’s good that we left as a family Now there are more and more of us Last year, only a few came back looking for us This year, dozens of families are asking for us to go south with them If we come back next year, will there be more than a hundred families? It’s no wonder that the captain would be happy about it!”
Xu Qiu Shi said this, but Xu Wen hadn’t really thought that far ahead
She was thinking of bringing at most fifty or sixty people with her this time, and she was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to take care of any more
She was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to take care of any more people They were all from the same hometown, so she was strict at home, but she had to take care of them when she went out
The Taoyuan production brigade chose 20 to 30 people, the Lu family brigade had to choose 10 or so, as well as Xu Wang’s mother-in-law’s and Sang Xiaoqing’s mother-in-law’s Today, the Lu family production brigade didn’t come
Today, the Lu family production brigade did not come because the new brigade leader is not familiar with the Xu family, the old brigade leader is Lu Yuanzheng’s uncle, the uncle is a person who wants to face, will not do this kind of difficult things
“Dad has a point One indeed has to give this matter some thought” Xu Man opened his mouth
With the development of reform and opening up, more and more farmers would step out of their homes and work in the city
Especially young people, they would slowly put down roots in the city
The team, no, in the future it would still be changed to a village, the more young people in the village left, the more young people left, and the ones left behind would indeed slowly be old and weak women and children
But, this time shouldn’t be the early eighties
Could it be that it was because of her that Wei Zhuang, a small place that should have never taken off its poverty hat in the twenty-first century, had changed?
If that was the case, Xu Man really had to think long and hard about whether or not to take people out to work
People are not the same as each other
Some people have great ambitions, thinking of the country and the world Always dreaming of changing the world
Some people stop in front of them and work hard, always trying to keep going
Xu Man happens to be the kind of person who loves his country but won’t think about changing the world, doesn’t eat and be lazy, but also won’t give up his family in order to fight for his career
Especially after having died once, she has looked down on many things
In her last life, she didn’t work, but she also interned, just in time for the nine-nine-six, and also rolled without tomorrow
Regarding her last life, the biggest regret was that she never spent time with her family, never slowed down to enjoy life
A three-year-old began to go to kindergarten, elementary school will have to do homework until ten o’clock to bed, third grade will have to boarding, high school at ten o’clock in the evening after school at five thirty in the morning morning reading, and then the university went abroad people, weekend vacations are also a variety of interest in remedial classes Where can I find the time to spend with my family?
Not to mention the family, each time soon after graduation, once classmates can call out the name of not many
The country is so big, except for the school has not seen anywhere
I don’t know if it is corrected delusion, this life Xu asked especially salty, no big ambition, just want to enjoy life, but also happy to do something to enjoy life
In order to use electricity, she cheated and used new energy generation
In order to take a bath, she desalinated seawater
Now for the convenience of taking her daughter, she’s going to go into diapers
She really is a salted fish
Can’t afford this very realistic future Xu Qiushi describes
Dozens of households signed up this year, and if each of the people brought out made more money than they did in the commune, then there was a real possibility that hundreds of households would come to her next year
Maybe that’s a year where she and her family are making their business better in the south, using more workers
That left the commune really all old and infirm?
The dinner on the first day of the year was not a pleasant one for any of the Xu family
Xu Wen is not unhappy, just in the revision of the original plan
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the daughter returned to her mother’s home
Xu Wang went back to the Xu family, Xu Wen went to his old husband’s house
Xu Wang was okay with not saying anything at the dinner table
It was Xie Dechun who kept scowling at Xu Wang, but Xu Wang kept turning a blind eye
In the end, Zhu Meizhen couldn’t stand it any longer and glared at Xu Wang, “If there’s something you want to say, just say it! If you don’t say something, Dechun will be in a hurry!”
Xu Wang glanced sideways at her own man and tugged at the corners of her lips, “It’s not a big deal! It’s just that for the past two days, my father-in-law has been urging us to come and ask for leniency He said that we can’t just take the honest and capable ones, and that we should take Zhang Aiguo from our production team! It’s a good name, but it’s a pity that the boy is not as good as his parents hoped! Since he was a child, he was the bully of the village, and he often went out of the village to fight from the head of the village to the end of the village Now that he’s grown up, he’s even more of a jerk!
Previously, he did not say anything, after the marriage is even more lawless, a few days ago, said he went to his mother’s dinner It was a happy occasion at home, and his mother made dumplings Because his mother wrapped more dumplings for his brother to leave a share, he lifted the table, just because he felt that his daughter-in-law left less!
It was a whole day’s worth of dumplings! His daughter-in-law can’t have all the dumplings even if she’s a pig! Why do you think we’re bringing such a selfish bastard out? Is he trying to make things worse for himself?”
Gaitian is Wei Zhuang Commune this side of the dialect, generally used for large iron pot steamed buns, with the steam drawer is almost the same concept, is a large round, with a bamboo through the middle of the slit but not the edge of the raised is a round plane
According to the commune people commonly used pot, a cover day about four plates of dumplings
After she finished, she rolled her eyes at Xie Dechun, “Our father can’t be too precise in his calculations, right? Zhang Lianguo usually plays a rogue in the brigade, and Dad has a headache Is it appropriate for us to take him out? If he makes a mess, there’s no one to control him, who’s responsible? Father said what you listen to what, let you come to ask you mention, you are embarrassed to have been flirting with me, do you think I should harm ask?”
Xie Dechun busy said: “I do not mean this! I just want to talk about the matter, go back to explain Ask doesn’t agree anyway”
Xu Wen let out a cry, “I didn’t say I didn’t agree”
“There’s still no need to ask about this matter, ask definitely doesn’t agree?” Xu Wang turned around in the middle of his sentence and glared at Xu Man, “What did you just say?”
“I said I agree to take whoever you just said Zhang Aiguo to Rainbow Island!”
Xu Wang: “”
Looking at Xu Wen, with “Are you crazy or am I crazy?” written all over his face”
The others on the table reacted similarly
Zhu Meizhen’s chopsticks fell off, right onto Xiao Xiachu’s lap, and Xiao Xiachu couldn’t wait to pick them up and shove them into her mouth
Xu Wen saw it and grabbed it, returning it back to Zhu Meizhen
Only then did Zhu Meizhen come back to her senses, reaching out to touch Xu Man’s head, “Ask, do you have a fever? What nonsense are you saying? Did you bring this kind of person out to add to your own problems?”
Xu Man avoided Zhu Meizhen’s hand, crying and laughing, “Mom, I’m fine! I’m serious I’m not just bringing Zhang Aiguo, I’m also planning to bring a couple of misfits from our village Oh, sister-in-law’s mother’s brigade has people like this, I can bring them too”
After Xu Man finished speaking, the Xu family dinner table fell into an eerie silence
Only the clueless little Xia Chu remained, babbling at the dishes on Xu Man’s plate
She had only recently added supplemental food, so she wanted to eat everything, but unfortunately, she was limited in what she could eat
So every time it was time to eat, little Xiachu would be so greedy that she would be babbling and waving her little hands
A long time Xu Qiushi sighed softly and raised his wine glass, “It’s hard for you!”
But there was no intention to discourage him
It was Xu Wang and Zhu Meizhen who couldn’t accept Xu Man’s choice and kept asking her why
Xu Man couldn’t say, “I can’t allow Wei Zhuang Commune to enter aging early, so I want to cheat too
She organized her words and chose a statement that both Zhu Meizhen and Xu Wang could accept: “Think about it! Why do all these people from the production team come to our house and beg us to take them to the south?”
Xu Wang could answer this question, “Of course it’s because they’re eager to see our family make money!”
“That’s right! If our family is making money, what does it mean if they don’t make money? Isn’t it just like what they said, that we’re not genuinely bringing them along But if we bring these miserly ones along, they are lazy and can’t make any money outside When we come back, people will realize that money is not for everyone! Maybe they won’t want to follow us out so much!”
Zhu Meizhen said suspiciously, “Is that so?” It sounded reasonable but something didn’t feel right
Xu Wang reacted quickly, “That’s true But if these mixed-up people can’t make any money, won’t they come to the house and make trouble? No, can’t even wait to come home, I’m afraid that in Pengcheng will have no end with you”
“They can’t go to Pengcheng, they can only be on Rainbow Island Have you forgotten what kind of place Rainbow Island is? Do you really think that they are invincible in the production team, and everyone spoils them when they go out?”
Zhu Meizhen’s eyes lit up when she heard this, “Right! Rainbow Island is a troop station Each one of these people is usually a bully in the production team I’m afraid they won’t be able to mix it up on Rainbow Island!”
In terms of fighting, the few gangsters from their production team tied together were no match for her son-in-law!
When the time comes, there’s no telling who will clean up who!
Thinking this way, Zhu Meizhen didn’t object
She thought for a moment and sighed: “You didn’t say so earlier Your brother and sister-in-law don’t know, and I’m afraid they’re making things difficult for their husband’s family right now!”
As soon as the words fell, Xu Wen’s family of three pushed the door in
Xu Wen’s face was quite ugly, Sang Xiaoqing’s eyes were red, as if she had been crying
Only Chunsheng saw Zhu Meizhen holding little Xiachu, and immediately became unhappy, “Grandma, hug!”
Zhu Meizhen immediately couldn’t care less about her son and daughter-in-law, handing Xiachu over to Xu Wen and picking up Chunsheng, “Big grandson, are you happy to go to grandma’s house? Do you miss your grandmother?”
Chunsheng is obviously quite happy at his grandma’s house, he can’t see how he misses Zhu Meizhen, but he just looked at Xiachu and said against his will, “It’s ringing!”
He shouted very loudly because he was weak
Zhu Meizhen was amused, “You are immediately three years old, still eat little sister’s jealousy shy?”
Xu Wang patted down Xu Wen who sat beside her without saying a word, “What’s your situation? Aren’t you going back to your husband’s house? How come you’re back at dinner time? What’s the matter? Did you bring less gifts and your husband didn’t take care of the food?”
Xu Wen still didn’t say anything, only shaking his head
Sang Xiaoqing spoke up, “It’s not that he didn’t take care of the food, it’s that we didn’t eat”
When she opened her mouth, she was still crying
Zhu Meizhen asked, “What’s wrong? Why are you crying? Xu Wen, did you have a fight with Xiao Qing?”
Xu Wen spoke, “I don’t think it’s a fight between them, I’m afraid it’s because of the recruitment matter, right?”
Sang Xiaoqing nodded, “I didn’t expect our captain to be so excessive He ran to our house and pressured my parents He made them persuade me to take Chen Youcai from our production team to make a fortune Chen Youcai is an old bachelor, lazy and greedy What can such a person do if he goes out?”
Xu Wen glanced at Sang Xiaoqing and asked Xu Wen, “Second brother, what are you doing with a sullen face? Those who know are the ones who have been rejected by you, those who don’t think you owe people money and are being chased for debt!”
Xu Wen: “”
He finally opened his mouth and disliked Xu Wen: “Owing someone money to pay back a debt is the natural order of things! Why am I making a face? I’m making a sullen face not because I’ve refused but because I’ve agreed!”
Without waiting for Xu Man to speak, he added, “Don’t worry, I won’t cause you any trouble I’ll take care of that Zhang You Cai myself! Just let him help out at my dumpling restaurant and put it under my nose”
“It’s no trouble! After all, as the old saying goes, ‘Lice don’t itch, debts don’t worry’ Anyway, I’ve already brought three, so you’re not far behind”
“What does it mean?”
“It means that there’s a Zhang Aiguo in brother-in-law’s production team, you have a Zhang Youcai here, and don’t we have two other similar goods in our production team? I’m going to bring them together”
Xu Wen: “”
“What are you bringing them along for? You think you’re living too comfortably, so you’re looking for some trouble for yourself?”
Worthy of being siblings, they all said pretty much the same thing
Xu Man was too lazy to explain over and over again, rolling his eyes, “I’m short of bodyguards, seeing as they’re just right”
“You’ve got to get over it! Zhang You Cai is almost sixty years old, it’s not certain who will protect who between you two!”
“What’s wrong with that? It’s always okay to put in front of the factory to watch the gate, right?”
Xu Wen: “”
That’s a good hand
With things finalized thus far, the four brigade captains were satisfied with the result, and had cooperated with Xu Wen, lending her the large troop’s loudspeaker to announce the list
Originally Xu was planning to pick some hardworking people from the enrollment, this time also do not pick, directly draw lots
A production team of ten places, men and women are not limited, whoever is drawn is who
In addition to that, also bring those four additional famous miserly
After announcing the list, Xu Wen also said a few working rules
You can’t run around, you can’t quit in the middle, and a year is a year
If you work well but can’t make any money, such as if the factory owes you wages, Xu Man will pay for it out of his own pocket
But if you can’t make money because you’re lazy, I’m sorry! Even if there is no money for traveling home, will not give a dime
Those who can accept it all sign the contract, those who can’t accept it stay at home and get another one
Choose a good person, but also have to leave a few days for everyone to prepare their luggage, originally said that the sixth of the year to go south, changed to the ninth of the year
Forty to fifty people go out together, quite lively
In order to take care of the children, the Xu family still bought sleeper tickets
Xu Wen and Xu Qiushi didn’t take the sleeper, saying they had to be with the team to prevent them from getting lost
Most of the villagers have never been out of the house and are instinctively afraid of the outside world, so they are more obedient than at home
They did whatever Xu asked He said he would give a few minutes to go to the bathroom and come back in a few minutes, only ahead of time and not behind
Including the ones who were almost infamous in the production team
In fact, they’re even more disciplined They don’t say anything when Xu asks
Xu said to give ten minutes to go to the toilet, they can come back in five minutes, only in advance and not delayed
Xu Man was at first puzzled by this particularly unusual phenomenon, and only later did he figure it out
These people are illiterate, can’t read a word
They also know that they are usually not good people, and they are afraid that Xu Man will leave them in the middle of the road, and then they won’t even be able to find their way back home
Xu Man was both angry and amused One in the production team, teeth and claws When they were young, they bullied the kids and the team members when they got older When sharing food, they also climbed the wall to steal from others
This out of the door a cowardly as a mouse Really evil is only difficult to deal with the little ghosts
The real kingpin will not be so unproductive
But this also means that, relatively speaking, good training
There were so many people, so much trouble buying tickets, and so many extra layovers that it took nearly eight days to get to Rainbow Island
All the way to the exuberant, full of expectations to make a lot of money team members, once on the island heart half cold
It’s too desolate!
In addition to a few piles of wooden houses on the island, the only thing that could be seen were two tin simple factories, other than that there was nothing!
This is not as good as home!
As for the scenery? That’s for the rich to enjoy, they just want to make money
The ones from the Taoyuan Production Team all went over to the Xu family’s side
“Ask, we’re all neighbors, you can’t sell us out, right?”
“That’s right, didn’t we agree to come and bring us to make money? Why did you come to such a desolate place?”
“Ask, I want to go home now, is that okay?”
Out of a bunch of questions, Xu Wen only picked one to answer, “Who wants to go home? Yes, you can, take care of your own traveling expenses, I’ll send you all back!”
People instantly shut up again
When they came, they had agreed that Xu Man would pay the traveling expenses first and deduct them from the wages
This is to come and go, the road fee is self-care, round trip also need two or three hundred dollars, right? After all, it is a boat and coach and train
Xu asked to bring these people on the island, are Weizhuang commune native people, political examination is certainly no problem
Even if the few people defined as a gangster, there is no record of criminal behavior, it is the character of the people to invite people to be annoyed
It is a moral misdemeanor that falls far short of the legal level
To put it bluntly, they have made minor mistakes but not major ones
Before Xu Wen came to Rainbow Island, he sent a telegram to the island, saying that he would bring fifty to sixty people to the island, and asked Shi Lei to help arrange a good place to stay
Still living in the same place where the female students had lived before
But the wooden house could not fit so many people
In the end, Xu Man proposed that the married ones stay in the wooden huts and the single ones stay in the tents
Eight people per tent
That night, Xu Wen they took Xu Man’s passenger boat back to Pengcheng, but also picked two of the production team know the roots of the store to run around to play the hand
Xu Wen and Sang Xiaoqing’s dumpling restaurant, although still mainly sells dumplings, but the store has doubled, the name has changed, called the taste of the north
Originally called the taste of their hometown, just Pengcheng to work in various places, they can not do people’s hometown flavor
For example, Sichuan cuisine, Hunan cuisine
Pengcheng speed is the name of the game, in this land, every day you can see new changes
Even if Xu knew what it would look like in the future, he would still be shocked by the Pengcheng of this moment
For others, they are the participants of the times, in the middle of it as the authorities, not yet too much feeling
Only Xu Wen, like an outsider spectator, watching the small fishing village in the border area little by little to the memory of that prosperous city change, is really very shocking
This city she is not involved, but Rainbow Island can still be
Send off the Xu family, Xu Man started to open the factory
Otherwise, how would so many new “islanders” be accommodated
In fact, technically speaking, they weren’t new islanders anymore
The first islander was Mrs Li, no doubt about it
Then the first real islanders were the veterans
Every year around December, it’s veterans who are discharged and new recruits who are enlisted
There was a part of the veterans that chose to stay on Rainbow Island as islanders after their discharge
These veterans are either unmarried in their 30s and 40s, with many brothers and sisters at home, and unattached
Either they were seriously injured in the war and have some disabilities, which do not affect their lives, but it is definitely difficult to earn labor points, so they might as well stay on the island and do odd jobs
They also have disability benefits, just not willing to eat and wait for death
Speaking of which, there is a happy event, Mrs Li ushered in her second spring
It’s a veteran in his forties who was also discharged this year, no, last year
He was now working with Sister Li to take care of her kiosk
The reason why Xu Man knew about it was because Sister Li also wanted to participate in the mass wedding
Originally, the wedding was scheduled for February 14th, but unfortunately, Xu Man had something to do and couldn’t make it back
The wedding couldn’t be pushed back any further, it was scheduled for February 22nd, the 18th day of the first month of the lunar year, and the university should have started even later
In fact, this time should also be the beginning of the school year, everyone with the school to ask for a few days of wedding vacation
Things are crowded together, Xu asked all of a sudden lack of time, can only first bring back from the hometown of the old folks first to Luo Zemin, in his a few days of work, such as busy wedding, she then settled
Luo Zemin is particularly righteous, without saying anything first these people to receive
Except for the four Zhang Aiguo Chen You Cai
Xu asked Shi Lei to settle them in the company first, giving the reason on the pre-service militarized training, for the future they do security to prepare
In fact, they don’t want them to stab any basket when she is busy
With the official reasons in place, the authorized soldiers will of course take good care of the four of them
The dresses had been rushed a year ago, and were now ready, but it was just a matter of setting up the venue
The flower girls are ready-made, Toshio and the others
The flower girls are all ready-made, Toussaint and the others
Small things like picking flowers, definitely still Dongsheng them to run errands
In just two days, the scene was set up in a decent manner, but also made time to rehearse
The wedding is outdoor, nearly March rainbow island already not cold
Because the number of people attending the wedding is too much, so it has to be a semi-buffet to act, this time the meals favor Western-style, cold food, so you can eat at any time
The previous ten pairs, for various reasons split three pairs, leaving seven pairs, plus sister-in-law Li’s pair, as well as Li Mao and Jiang Yi Yi, a total of nine pairs
In terms of feelings, Xu Man still admired Jiang Yi Yi, this girl really dares to love and hate, can afford to let go
The girl really dared to love, and she could afford to let go But in the end, she was still trapped by Li Mao, but of course, Li Mao might have let her be trapped
The Command’s Publicity Section rushed over after getting the news to cover the story
Can you not come? It’s not often that such a happy event happens in the whole army
The point is what great publicity material?
The official start of the wedding was at nine-nine o’clock
This is what Xu Man chose, in line with the zodiac Xu Man does not know, but it must be in line with the psychological needs of young people
Seek a long time
Nine brides, height, weight and age are different, so the dress is also different
For example, sister-in-law Li, the same white wedding dress, her is a modified model, the upper body is somewhat similar to the design of the cheongsam buckle
For example, Jiang Yi Yi, she is only in her early twenties, just in the prime of life, people tall and thin, is the fishtail dress design
All of the bridal wear is made by Xu Wang, Xu Wen said the idea, Xu Wang drew the picture
Xu Wang childhood, the Xu family is not rich, then in order to pay back the loan sharks, the Xu family’s life is even tighter
Little Xu Wang and love of beauty, can not afford to buy beautiful clothes, the old themselves painted, painted imaginary clothes
She made all her wedding clothes herself, mainly because it saved her money compared to ready-made clothes
However, Xu Wang’s craftsmanship was really good, only she didn’t know that those pretty dresses she drew offhand were just irregular designs
Now at Xu Man’s suggestion, she enrolled in an evening college to study fashion design
This bridal wear even if she is practicing the work, in fact, is not really her design, most of the ideas are Xu asked out, she is slightly change a change
The wedding dress was made a year ago, and then added a set of Mrs Li’s when she came back
Of course, she came to the wedding, so as to be prepared to deal with some emergencies, she did not only come by herself, but also brought a few sisters who can make up
Nine brides with very different styles appeared at one end of the catwalk at the same time
At the other end stood the groomsmen with uniform dresses
They all wore dresses similar to the one Lu Yuanzheng got married in
Pure white suits
This t-stage was built for the wedding and had enough width to accommodate nine groups of people
It was everyone’s first time attending a group wedding, or an outdoor wedding, and they were all very new and lively, rather less nervous
Xu asked for skin, and covered the brides who came out with opaque red covers, allowing the nine groomsmen to pick out their own brides, and those who picked the right one would get married
“As for picking out the wrong ” Xu Wen deliberately lengthened the tail end, “certainly can also be married But whether or not they can get married at night, we don’t know!”
A burst of laughter rang out from the bottom
The oldest groom, Zhao Aimin, smiled coyly, “I’m the oldest, I’ll give you a sample first”
Saying this, he stepped forward with great strides and half-heartedly chose Sister Li from the nine brides
Frankly speaking, this one was actually no surprise
After all, Sister Li was already little fifty years old, and no matter how much makeup she wore, she was still different from a twenty year old girl
However, they were the first couple in the end, and the people underneath were still very facetious as they applauded and shouted
“Cudos, our soldier brothers are all professionals I’m curious, in a moment in case, I say in case ah! Anyone holds the wrong bride, how will you guys end up?”
None of the remaining eight groomsmen wanted to be the second, after all, the fewer brides left the lower the margin for error
This kind of uncertainty about this simple times, not to mention the occurrence of conjugal relations before marriage, meet are not much, and occasionally see only pull a small hand, can only have a general impression of each other’s height, weight and thinness, very detailed features can not be remembered
So the eight groomsmen have no idea, in case the wrong lead to the bride unhappy can do? The point is that it is also humiliating to the front of the comrades, back to be laughed at to death
The best eight groomsmen chose to draw lots, the order
Waiting for them to draw a good sign, choose out one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight Only then did Xu Man speak slowly and methodically, ”All groomsmen, please listen to the password Please note that I said all groomsmen I will shout one, two, three, and everyone will rush to their brides together! Whoever runs slower, everyone will go to whoever’s house to haunt the bridal chamber tonight! The slow runners obviously don’t want to get married and aren’t in a hurry for the bridal chamber anyway!”
Groomsmen: “”
So what are we drawing lots for?
The people at the bottom all roared with laughter and shouted at Xu Man, “Well done sister-in-law!”
Xu Man waved his hand toward the bottom, signaling that he received it, and started shouting, “One!”
“Three!”
The eight groomsmen rushed out at almost a uniform time, with two of the slower-reacting ones charging Xu Man as they did so, “Sister-in-law, you don’t talk about martial arts!”
The wedding mini-games were just to increase the fun, to figure out the festivities nor did they really want to cause conflicts between husband and wife, so basically every groom and bride stood opposite each other It is especially good to share
Like Li Mao and Jiang Yi Yi have lived a married life for a while, naturally it was easy to elect Jiang Yi Yi, plus sister-in-law Li they sampled, everyone also understood the rule
All stood in front of their brides, waiting for Xu Man to finish shouting one, two, three together to lift the red head
“Now please hold your own brides and walk to my side, no, stand in front of me”
Nine pairs, eighteen people, stood in quite a long row
“Because it’s a collective wedding, so we don’t worship heaven and earth and the high hall, only husband and wife But Li Mao you don’t rush!”
Li Mao, who had already turned sideways, turned his body back again amidst the laughter of the crowd
“However, before the worship, I would like to follow the example of the priests in western weddings to ask each of the bride and groom a question”
Xu Wen said that he was following the questions asked by western priests, but the questions asked were not the two that had been circulating for n years
“Let me ask the groomsmen first, you only have two hands, and often if you can hold a gun you can’t hold your lover’s hand! Your profession predisposes you to protect your country but hardly defend your family So, what kind of promise can you give to your beloved to make her willing to spend the rest of her life with you?”
The question sounds a bit like a trick question, but, well, it’s on point
These questions are meant to be punctuated at weddings, though, so the answers have been right for a long time
Most of the people on stage were attending their first wedding like this, didn’t know the ropes, and were sweating for their comrades on stage
Some even began to ask themselves how they would have answered the question
The new recruit reporter from the Department of Culture and Propaganda tsked, ”This host really dares to ask! A reporter like me wouldn’t dare to ask this question There’s no fear of getting cold feet and not being able to save the day”
Her master, Ding Yufeng, glanced at her, “I wouldn’t say you’re a trainee reporter! This host is a military wife, and the only people in the entire army who have heard of her are probably you new recruits! Since she dares to ask she’s not afraid of the cold”
Xu Man’s legend had been on their minds for a long time, and they always wanted to do an interview with Xu Man Unfortunately, Xu Man didn’t cooperate, saying that she didn’t want to be in the limelight
Ding Yufeng was very depressed, saying that Xu Man didn’t want to be in the limelight! Her college entrance exams are a big deal, her recruitment of students in the newspaper is a big deal, and her students’ advancement rate is so high that it is still a big deal
Said she wanted to make a splash, she really do things, are muffled
Others do not know, she a dry propaganda or know the Kaya left, there is her participation The lights on Rainbow Island had her share of credit Even the rainbow island is so lively she also make a big work
The more Xu Man was like this, the more curious Ding Yufeng became
Curiosity is what a qualified reporter should have
Unfortunately, no matter how and when she invited him, Xu Man would always refuse with all sorts of perfect reasons
Before Ding Yufeng finished lamenting, the groomsmen had already started answering the questions
Sister Li’s lover was the first to answer, “I’ve already taken off this garment this year, and for the rest of the days, I’ll accompany you with firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy, vinegar, and tea!”
Another followed, “I am strong! Holding a gun with one hand and still holding your hand with the other!”
Li Mao said, “I don’t have strength, but I’m thick-skinned and I can run fast! You see, you ran so far to school, but I still chased you back! In this life, I’m relying on you!”
“I’m not strong and I can’t run fast! But I’ll work hard and try to get the qualification to accompany the army, so that you can come to me! We’ll live together on Rainbow Island! I’ll cook and wash your clothes every day”
“I have nothing but an IOU for you! What I owe you now, I’ll pay you back tenfold when I’m discharged! You wait for me for five years, I’ll stay with you for fifty years! One hundred years!”
The nine groomsmen finished in turn, and there was thunderous applause and shouts of approval from the stage
Although these answers were early right, they were all their own thoughts
There were only a few that Xu Wen had helped embellish
The trainee reporter was directly moved to tears
Ding Yufeng slapped her, “Why are you crying? Did you record it? This is going to be put on the front page of the newspaper and made into a videotape for the entire army to publicize! Don’t move yourself!”
The soldier who videotaped the event was busy saying, “It’s all recorded!”
When the groom finished answering, most of the brides’ eyes also contained tears, such an occasion, such a scene is difficult not to let people moved
“Brides, are you still satisfied with the groom’s answer?”
“Satisfied!”
“Alas! It’s too easy to be satisfied! I’m sure I have the potential to be a good military wife So next, brides who are beautiful and kind-hearted, it’s your turn to answer the questions”
