Chapter 38: Accepting the bride and serving wine
The next day, when Gu Jianing went out, he heard people in the village talking about Bao Shanyan taking Wen Zhuqing to the county town to take pictures and collect the certificate.
It seemed that Bao Shanyan still listened to her words.
It seems that after temporarily getting rid of the scumbag Wen Zhuqing, Gu Jianing's life will be relatively peaceful and he will officially enter the stage of getting married.
During this period, Huaihua Village was bustling for two days because pigs were slaughtered at the end of the year and the pork was divided.
Of the 9 pigs, 5 were eventually handed over to the commune, and the remaining 4 were all slaughtered. On that day, every household in the village received pork.
During those two days in Huaihua Village, the chimneys of every house were filled with the smell of meat.
As the excitement passed, the day for Gu Jianing to get married arrived.
Half of the pork that the Gu family received two days ago was eaten, and the other half was used at today's wedding banquet. The second brother went up the mountain to hunt some pheasants and rabbits to make up for it. There was enough food, and he could trade it with other people in the village.
Today is a rare good day. Although it is winter and very cold, the sun comes out early in the morning. The three aunts and six women who are close friends with the Gu family came early in the morning light and went to the Gu family's kitchen to help prepare for today's banquet. Everyone was chatting and laughing as the food was served.
As the bride, Gu Jianing also got up early and dressed herself up in the room.
The red woolen coat really showed off her complexion and figure. Gu Jianing bought it with points in the system mall.
Red fabric is very precious in this era.
Especially woolen coats made into ready-made clothes are even more rare.
Even if you go to the department store in the provincial capital, it is basically impossible to buy it. After all, red is a festive color and the color that everyone wants.
As for the origin of this coat.
Gu Jianing told the Gu family that it was given by Sheng Zexi.
And if Sheng Zexi asked about it later, he would say that it was prepared by the Gu family.
Before, Sheng Zexi came here just to take her to buy a wedding dress, but he drove to the provincial capital and couldn't find anything suitable.
That's why Gu Jianing bought it at the exchange mall.
These things needed for food, clothing, housing and transportation are sold very cheaply in the mall.
She not only bought this red woolen coat, but also a set of modern cosmetics.
Today is her wedding day, in front of so many people, and after rebirth, she is heading towards a new life, so naturally she wants to be beautiful.
Therefore, she rejected the idea that her sister-in-law and some little sisters in the village would help her dress up.
This cosmetics cannot be seen by others.
Gu Jianing was very skilled at makeup, and she finished it in half an hour. She also had to do her hair. She didn't plan to tie her hair up, but planned to braid it to give her a princess hairstyle.
No man can resist the beauty of a woman.
As time passed, the food in the kitchen smelled more and more fragrant, and the folks who came to the banquet also came one after another.
After giving money to the members and saying blessings, everyone's face was filled with joy.
This time the Gu family invited almost everyone in the village. Except for one or two educated youths at the educated youth point who were friendly with the Gu family, none of them had bad words to say about Gu Jianing. Also included in this invitation were the shy young man Lu Wei. First there is another female educated youth who is less talkative and usually works more diligently and goes to the countryside relatively early.
The female educated youth has given up on going back to the city. She has recently made eye contact with a young man from a family in Huaihua Village. She has already made an engagement. In a few days, she plans to get married, so that she can take her home and celebrate the New Year together.
As the sound of the jeep came from far to near, the children who saw it from a distance came running to report the news with cheers and encouragement. "Here it comes, here it comes, the officer groom is here to pick up the bride."
Many people heard it and came out to see it.
The jeep stopped in front of Gu's house, the door opened, and a man in a straight military uniform with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes stepped out with long legs.
Grandpa Sang, Grandma Sang, are here today to witness the marriage of his grandson. He had been staying in a hotel before and was reluctant to go back, just to wait for this day.
After Sheng Zexi got out of the car, they were also helped down.
"Today is the day when I, Sheng Zexi, get married. Folks, let's all have some wedding candy and be happy." Sheng Zexi took out a few bags of candies that he had prepared early, and when Grandpa Sang and Grandma Sang entered Gu's house, he started at the door. Wedding candy.
As long as those who say blessings, whether they are old or children, will have candy to eat.
Sheng Zexi was not stingy and gave several pills to one person.
Candy is a scarce item in this era and everyone loves it, especially children.
As a result, the children kept saying auspicious words, and even some who were one or two years old were unable to speak at all. They saw that their older brothers and sisters were eating candies.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
He stumbled and said a vague auspicious word in front of Sheng Zexi, staring at the candy in Sheng Zexi's hand with his big eyes. When Sheng Zexi stuffed the candy into his hand, the child immediately showed a smile with only a mouthful of small teeth and followed him aside. Grandma showed off, "Tangtang, Tangtang, Tiantian~"
After all the bags of candies he brought were distributed, Sheng Zexi also entered the Gu family.
He saw Gu Jianing coming out of the room, dressed in red like fire.
The moment Gu Jianing came out, everyone exclaimed.
Beautiful, really beautiful!
Bright and charming, cute and cute, like a blazing flame, it jumps in everyone's heart and warms the whole winter.
"Our Ningning is really more beautiful than the girls in the city. I have never seen her prettier."
"Even those female educated youths from the city can't compare."
"No wonder Officer Sheng is so concerned about it."
"We Ning Ning and Officer Sheng are exactly the same thing. How do you say that word?"
The shy Lu Weixian also saw Gu Jianing, and was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously added, "A man is talented and a woman is beautiful, a match made in heaven."
"That's right, that's what I mean. A talented man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven. We are an educated youth on a small road. Your culture is really good."
Lu Wei, who was praised, reacted first and blushed, but his eyes were bright.
Gu Jianing's hand was held by Father Gu and placed on Sheng Zexi's big palm.
"Xiao Xi, I will leave my Ning Ning to you. You must take good care of her. If you dare to treat her badly, our entire Gu family will not agree and will not let you go." Dad Gu became red. Eye sockets.
As the head of the family and the backbone of the family, Father Gu has always been relatively reserved and not very good at expressing his emotions.
But it is undeniable that the person he loves most is his daughter Gu Jianing.
Now, the daughter he has raised for 17 years is getting married, and he is reluctant to bear it.
Only his wife knows that he has been suffering from insomnia at night. He feels uncomfortable thinking that his precious daughter will get married and then join the army in the northwest. He may not be able to see her even once a year. He even secretly cried several times. There is no need to tell Ning Ning.
