Qu Jie's wedding was very modern. Unlike Chen Weizheng and Liu Yi, who were marrying off their daughters, it was a wedding banquet.
On the morning of October 22nd, they went to Hua Qiao Town to pick up the bride and brought Ruan Lei to Longqing Garden. The wedding banquet was arranged in Hua Qiao Town in the afternoon at a newly opened hotel.
Chen Weizheng gave Ou Jie a generous gift. He bought three pieces of jewelry in Venice and a pair of diamond rings. These were privately given to Ou Jie. Ou Jie looked around the Red River and Nancheng but couldn't find a wedding ring that suited his taste. Just as he was about to find two random ones, Chen Weizheng delivered them to his door. Ruan Lei looked at the rings with certificates and was very satisfied. She praised Ou Jie for having good taste. Ou Jie thanked Chen Weizheng. Whether this thing was valuable or not was another matter. The main thing was that he was satisfied with it. The other gift was for Chen Weizheng and Liu Yi. It was a PT950 platinum necklace. Ruan Lei was so happy that she jumped up and down. She didn't look like a pregnant woman at all.
There was a local custom. Marrying in the same year conflicted with each other. In other words, Chen Weizheng and Liu Yi couldn't attend Ou Jie and Ruan Lei's wedding, and vice versa. In order to solve this problem, Lord Eighteen took the four of them to find a master who was very knowledgeable in Taoism. He spent a thousand yuan to solve this problem. As long as the master had money, there was no problem that he couldn't solve. Thus, everyone was happy. Ruan Lei also got her wish to let Liu Yi be her maid of honor. Chen Weizheng also became Ou Jie's best man.
Ye Tiansheng and Ou Jiansheng came to Gu Yi City early and stayed at Ye Fengchun's house in Gu Yi City. Ye Tiansheng specially came to be the witness of the wedding. Because they still had to go to Nancheng to treat the guests, the guests in Nancheng didn't come.
Jinling Automobile Factory took out twenty Milky Way cars to be the flower cars. Zheng Hua Factory took out twenty TX1 cars to be the cars. A platoon of soldiers were selected from the military station to be the drivers.
Although the Milky Way was a car produced in Hua Qiao Town, it was the first time for the Hua Qiao Town people to see twenty cars lined up. Looking! Everyone who saw it said the words.
There were no plates and there were no decorations on the cars. there was only a small "Happiness" character "character".. Ruan Lei's colleagues in the Publicity Department of the Communist Youth League Committee were in charge of the photography and video. There was a professional HD video camera, three home DV cameras, and almost everyone had a camera.
The fleet went to Ruan Lei's house. This was a branch of the Hua Qiao Farm. Ruan Lei's parents were ordinary workers in this branch. After the farm was restructured, the workers in the farm were no different from the farmers. The only difference was that the farmers' land belonged to them, while the workers' land belonged to the farm. Ruan Lei Qiao lived in an old brick bungalow from more than thirty years ago. It had red tiles and green bricks. It was covered with moss. Some of the bungalow walls even had thin shrubs. Fortunately, the courtyard of the branch was big enough. Even with twenty cars, it wasn't crowded.
The people in the branch came out to welcome them. They were all returned overseas Chinese from Vietnam. They were usually very united. When a family had a happy occasion, it was a happy occasion for everyone. In the courtyard, there were more than ten square tables. The tables were filled with seasonal fruits, grapes, apples, strawberries, cantaloupe … There were also some very Vietnamese delicacies, such as sugar rolls, coconut cakes, dried mango, bread cakes, strawberry cakes, mung bean cakes …
The guests were not greeted with tea, but coffee. It was not instant coffee, but the kind that was brewed on the spot. There was a funnel with many small holes. Coffee powder was added, and boiling water was poured in. The brewed coffee slowly seeped out from the funnel. This kind of coffee had the original flavor. It was more fragrant and tasted better than instant coffee.
The group of people who came to pick up the bride felt that it was very interesting. This was a very western-style buffet. When the neighbors served the Vietnamese spring rolls and Vietnamese sesame seed cakes, the feeling of the buffet reached its peak.
There was no custom of making things difficult for the groom, but there was a custom of greeting. The brother-in-law, Ruan Yue, introduced Ou Jie to his relatives one by one. Ou Jie took out the gift that he had already prepared and presented it to the elders. The gift was very simple. It was just a packet of Sweet Rice Cracker. The meaning was very clear. It was to let everyone feel the sweetness together. The elders had to give red packets. There was no limit to the amount of red packets. Any amount of red packets was a good intention.
After greeting the elders, the wedding procession was about to return. The car returned to Long Qing Garden.
In Long Qing Garden, the festive atmosphere began to appear from the gate.
The property company hung the red lanterns high on the festival day. Long colored streamers fluttered in the wind. The flower beds where children peed were where firecrackers were set off in the community. When the community held a wedding, everyone consciously came here to set off firecrackers. During the New Year, they gathered here to set off fireworks. Here, the newlyweds got off the car and walked along the green belt prepared by the property company into the building. Under the building, the property company set up a dozen awnings. Some tables, chairs, and tea buckets were placed in the awnings. These were prepared for the guests. In the residential community, the houses were not wide. Even if it was 150 square meters, it would be crowded with 40 to 50 people. Not to mention sitting, there was not even a place to stand. There were 20 3x4 awnings. They were bought by Chen Weizheng and given to the property company. If there was a wedding in the community, the property company would take them out for everyone to use. The property company also praised Chen Weizheng on the honor roll of the community. The owner of a timber business in another building felt that Chen Weizheng's approach was good. He specially donated a set of foldable tables and chairs. In September, there was an old man's birthday. He was worried that the house would not be able to show off. The property company opened the awnings and set up the tables. The family was overjoyed. After the event, they bought two large electric tea buckets in the name of the old man as a thank you gift.
The bride and groom went to the bridal room. Chen Weizheng took out 20 boxes of poker cards from the storage space and prepared to start the game in the awnings.
The banquet started on time in Hua Qiao Town. The banquet was held in the biggest hotel in Hua Qiao Town: Mekong River Hotel. This hotel was created because of the prosperity of the industrial park. The first floor was the main entrance, the second floor was the main hall, the third floor was the official reception hall, and the fourth floor was the business conference hall. Each floor could hold 30 tables. Ou Jie's 80-table banquet was held here. The second floor was the wedding venue. In order to celebrate together, the third and fourth floors were equipped with live projectors to let everyone feel the atmosphere on the second floor.
The first to arrive were Ruan Lei's colleagues in Qingshan Town. These people knew that there would be some big shots coming today. It was rare to be able to show their faces in front of these big shots. If they were lucky, they could even say a few words to the leader. If they could leave a shadow in front of the leader, it would be a success.
Pan Changcheng's arrival announced that the guests in Qingshan Town had stopped. None of the county committee members were absent. No one even asked for leave. Huang Shengyuan and Chen Weixin were not with them. As Ou Jie's brothers, they took the lead to smoke. As for Wei Jie and Ruan Yue, as female brothers, they took the lead to smoke.
Huang Chenglong arrived with a group of people from the industrial park. After Wang Yisheng escorted Huang Chenglong and the others to their seats, he came to Ou Jie's side and voluntarily became a staff member.
Fenglin Factory, Battery Factory, Longshan Automobile Factory, Battery Application Center, and Fengtian Machinery arrived. Following them were the main leaders of Jinling Factory, Zhenghua Factory, Tancheng Automobile Factory, Hongshui River Company, and Zhengtu Factory. There were representatives from Western Qin, Xichuan, Nanqiong, and Xiongguan Electric Car Factory. There were about 20 tables in this group.
The first person to arrive from Gu Yi City was Zhao Changfu with Auntie Wei. Together with him were Huang Shengyuan and Huang Chenglong's wife and children. After Chen Weigang escorted the leaders to their seats, he followed Lan Lianhua to the entrance and became a staff member.
Liu Dehou and Chen Xiaomei brought along Xiao Song and Xiao Zhu as they sat in Chen Xiaomei's Mini Sky. It could be said that everyone in Gu Yi City knew about Chen Xiaomei's Mini Sky. It had also caused a lot of harm. The Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee's private car only had Wind in the Sky, causing other officials to not dare to drive their own cars out.
Ye Fengchun was not the one who kept a low profile. A military-style Cavalier rushed into the parking lot with a murderous aura. Four people got out of the car. They were Ye Tiansheng, Xiao Guangyuan, and Ou Jiansheng. The driver was Ye Fengchun.
The Third Sister-in-law, Assistant He, and Ou Jiansheng's wife accompanied the Third Sister-in-law's Mini Sky.
Xiao Song and Xiao Zhu stayed at the entrance to talk to Liu Yi, Ruan Lei, and the others. Huang Shengyuan accompanied the others to enter the parking lot.
The big shots were always the last to arrive. The Red River Provincial Party Committee's Secretary, Lan Shengao, and his wife drove their Milky Way car and entered the parking lot last. They did not expect that there would be another person in the car. He was Gu Yi City's Mayor, Zhao Hengguang.
The people from Qingshan Town and the Industrial Park who arrived first saw the higher the level of the guests. Their hearts were filled with the desire to meet them. The people from the Longshan Battery Plant did not care about these big shots at all. They chatted and laughed. The moment Lan Shengao entered, he saw Wang Hongtao from Longshan Battery, Hu Guoping from Fenglin Battery, and Jiang Guomin from Hongshui River. He walked over to greet them. Chen Liping went over to Chen Xiaomei and greeted Auntie Wu. Zheng Jianyi accompanied Ye Tiansheng to talk about electric farming tools. He told Ye Tiansheng that the next step was to develop electric forestry machinery and solar and wind powered fishing machinery. The electric forestry machinery was planned to be placed in Lingdong City, Red River. The solar and wind powered fishing machinery was intended to be placed in Huanzhu City, Red River Province. Ye Tiansheng told Zheng Jianyi that the technology could be prepared first. As for where it would land, there was no rush. When the conditions were right, they would talk about it. Ye Fengchun, who was listening from the side, knew what his father was thinking. He also knew what his father wanted. It was just that his father dared to do this, but he did not.
When the wedding started, everything followed the procedure. After the host introduced the newlyweds to everyone, the newlyweds gave a speech. Ou Jie stuttered, and Ruan Lei blushed. They only said the same few words back and forth. No one knew what to say.
The male representative was the National League supermarket boss, Ou Jiansheng. All the guests knew who he was. The female representative was the Municipal Party Committee Secretary, Lan Shengao. This was not known to all the guests.
Lan Shengao gave a special speech titled "Adopted Daughters Are Not Necessarily Inferior to Men." He told the guests a humorous story. Last year, the big boss of the In-law District came to Gu Yi City to invest. As the Municipal Party Committee Secretary, he accompanied the big boss every day and carefully observed the investor's expression. But later, the situation changed. Because Little Boss Qu fell in love with Ruan Lei, my good daughter, Ruan Lei. Haha, this time, it was Big Boss Qu's turn to complain. He accompanied me to drink every day, but he still had to look at my expression. Everyone, this is what my daughter has earned for me. That's why I say, having a daughter is not necessarily inferior to a man. I'm done with my speech.
The witness gave a speech. After Ye Tiansheng read the marriage certificate of Ou Jie and Ruan Lei loudly, he said, "If you have any objections to this marriage, can you raise them? I'm very clear. You can raise them, but it's too late!" Everyone laughed.
