Chapter 251 The ceremony is completed
Gao Zhendong couldn't help his curiosity, so he opened it and took a look, then looked at the leader of the Defense Work Committee with surprise, and the leader smiled and nodded.
Gao Zhendong immediately apologized to him and walked into the south room, seemingly going there to place the calligraphy, but actually using it as a cover, he immediately put it into the storage room.
After Gao Zhendong finished dealing with the calligraphy issue, he returned to the yard. The leaders of the Defense Work Committee, the leaders of the 17th Ministry of Machine Building, Lao Chen, and Director Yang were gathered together chatting.
"Don't fight over it, the master of ceremonies is mine, haha." This is the leader of the National Defense Work Committee.
Now that you're here, you might as well be thorough. It's a happy occasion, and there's no harm in sharing some of the good cheer.
Upon hearing this, Deputy Director Li said, "Then should I leave?"
However, the master of ceremonies and the wedding manager are often not the same person. Although it's a pity for Deputy Factory Director Li, can he beat the previous one?
"Old X, why are you joining in the fun of young people getting married? Hey, who's that? Yes, Deputy Director Li, keep the witness for me." The leader of the 17th Ministry of Machine Building said to Deputy Director Li while complaining about the leader of the Defense Working Committee.
You can do it, but I can't? My beloved general, I must do my best.
Deputy Factory Director Li was hesitant and submissive. He was so annoyed that he asked, "What's the point of you big guys trying to snatch the position of a young man as the wedding master?" Why don't you just drink the wedding wine honestly?
Although he already had a high opinion of Gao Zhendong, he never expected that his imagination was still not enough. As the saying goes, "conservatives think that radicals are not radical enough."
He and Director Yang looked at each other with bitter smiles, and realized that everything was in vain.
Originally, he and Director Yang had thought that one of them would be the host and the other would be the witness. It just so happened that it was only natural for the factory leaders to care about the young comrades in the factory.
For him, this is also a means to get closer to Gao Zhendong.
Who would have thought that two big guys would pop up and launch a dimensionality reduction attack, snatching away everything, leaving nothing behind.
Thinking of this, he looked enviously at Chief Engineer Chen and his wife who were smiling but saying nothing. This old guy was still stable, and no one could take his position away.
Old Chen's disciple is so beautiful.
Turning to look at Director Yang, Lao Li felt balanced again. At least he had a wedding manager. It is said that happiness is achieved through comparison, and it really is true.
As I was talking, I heard a man walk in with a smile: "Old X, it seems that you have divided up all the work. I am late, late."
When Deputy Director Li saw it, he was surprised. It was the leader of the 59th Ministry of Machine Building. He knew him because he had seen him several times when the DJS- was first released.
Like the leader of the Defense Work Committee, even he came. Gao Zhendong is so honored. Tsk tsk~~~
For the leaders of the 12th Ministry of Machine Building, Gao Zhendong is a hot commodity, so how could they not come?
The leader of the 59th Ministry of Machine Building didn't give Gao Zhendong anything special except for the gift money, but he quietly pulled Gao Zhendong aside and said, "Our department has specially approved a DJS- full-configuration model for you. It will be placed at your home when the time comes. Otherwise, it will be inconvenient for you to do your work."
I gladly accepted this. I had originally planned to use a single-board computer when it came out. However, a single-board computer is a simplified version after all, and its performance is not as good as DJS-59. Who wouldn't be happy to have a better one?
As for the safety issue, Gao Zhendong glanced at the leaders of the Defense Work Committee and thought there shouldn't be any big problems.
When the auspicious time arrived, Deputy Director Li held a loud speaker and announced the start of the wedding.
The master of ceremonies and the witness are just titles, and the real work is still done by Lao Li. They just announce their identities in the wedding when necessary.
Mr. Li’s arrangement for the wedding ceremony is also quite interesting. He doesn’t worship heaven and earth, but he still has to worship his parents. Red envelopes can be taken, but the couple doesn’t worship each other. Instead, they bow to each other.
I have to say that Lao Li is really professional when it comes to judging the scale.
The leaders of the Defense Work Committee and the 17th Ministry of Machine Building took the positions of master of ceremonies and witnesses, and watched Lao Li busying himself with smiles.
In the living room of Gao Zhendong's house, Old Chen and his wife, and Lou's father and mother sat in the seats of honor. Under the instruction of Old Li, the young couple bowed to their parents and changed their titles.
Old Chen and his wife listened to Lou Xiaoe calling "Master, Master's Wife", and while they responded with "yeah, yeah", they handed over a red envelope with a smile on their faces, which was 10 yuan and 1 cent, 1001 cents, meaning one in a thousand. As for why it was not 1001 yuan? What the hell was he thinking?
The old couple's children do not work in Beijing, but go to other units, so this time the family is complete.
Gao Zhendong also changed his way of addressing Father and Mother Lou: "Dad, Mom."
At this moment, he was very excited. After several years, he finally had a family again and a wife.
Father and Mother Lou looked pleased. Seeing the grand scale of Gao Zhendong's wedding and the quality of the guests, Father Lou became more and more relieved.
Lou's mother's idea is very simple. This son-in-law, well, what half, this is a whole one!
As for how Gao Zhendong would treat Lou Xiao'e after marriage, they were not worried at all. Lou's father had been in charge of a large enterprise for decades and he was very good at judging people.
After giving Gao Zhendong a red envelope of 100 yuan and 1 cent, Lou's mother agreed to it and quickly helped Gao Zhendong up. She felt sorry for this son-in-law who was picked out of thousands of people. Under the arrangement of Deputy Director Li, Gao Zhendong and Lou Xiao'e bowed to each other. Lou Xiao'e smiled very sweetly, her eyebrows were like crescent moons, her eyes were smart, and she stared at Gao Zhendong, as if to say, "Zhendong, everything depends on you from now on."
The master of ceremonies and the witnesses had to speak at this time. It was not a good thing for only Old Li to be busy. He should do his job well.
The two must have discussed it. "I declare/I testify that Comrade Gao Zhendong and Comrade Lou Xiaoe are officially married as revolutionary husband and wife."
It sounds awkward, right? But it's generally like this these days, especially in cases like Gao Zhendong's.
Inside and outside the house, adults clapped and children laughed. The ceremony was over!
Following Sha Zhu's shout of "Serve the food!", everyone moved into the yard. Tables were set up in the front and middle yards, and the back yard was used as the kitchen. The table was very sumptuous, and one-third of the dishes contained meat.
Where did the meat coupons come from? Don't ask, if you ask, they were given by the master, awarded by the factory, or saved by myself.
During the dinner, several leaders sitting at the main table and Lou's father drank a few glasses, but as they spoke, several leaders smiled with deeper meanings.
Yes, several leaders actually stayed to eat. They had already paid for their share of the meal, so why didn't they eat? These days, the relationship between superiors and subordinates is not so clear, especially for those who have come from the war years.
Father Lou was very satisfied with their laughter. It’s okay for you to laugh.
Deputy Director Li couldn't eat yet. He and Zheng Liangshu, along with Gao Zhendong and Lou Xiao'e, toasted at every table. Zheng Liangshu was the one welcoming the guests, and he followed them because he was afraid that the young couple wouldn't know some of them.
After all, it is not impossible for some people to ask their family members to come over if they cannot come themselves.
When toasting, the leader of the 17th Ministry of Machine Building smiled and said to Gao Zhendong: "It's good that it's done, it's good that it's done. This way I feel relieved."
The leader of the Defense Work Committee smiled when he heard this. He knew what this meant, and he also felt that it was a good idea to end this matter.
Such a Gao Zhendong can play a greater role.
When it was Xu Damao's table's turn, Gao Zhendong still saw hatred in Xu Damao's eyes even though Xu Damao had tried his best to hide it.
You know? It doesn't matter. I'll have plenty of time to deal with you later. As for today, it's my big day, so I won't bother with you for now.
Finally, Gao Zhendong had dinner with Sha Zhu, Zheng Liangshu, Deputy Director Li and other "wedding staff".
What’s interesting is that Deputy Director Li’s nephew ran up to offer Lou Xiao’e a cup of tea, calling her “Master’s wife”, which made Lou Xiao’e, who had not expected to be promoted as soon as she entered the house, blush. The color of her face was almost as red as her new clothes.
After the meal, the guests left one after another. Gao Zhendong stood at the door to see them off one by one. In addition to blessing, everyone who saw Gao Zhendong's wedding guests had a new understanding of Gao Zhendong's influence in their hearts.
The old Chen couple and Lou's father and mother have also passed away. The young couple has always lived their life on their own. Gao Zhendong and the Lou family have arranged everything very well and have explained everything that needs to be said. They have nothing to worry about.
Otherwise, it won’t be too late to talk about it when Lou Xiao’e returns home in three days.
After the guests left, the people who were helping cleaned up and cleaned, and the group of people were busy until the afternoon. Except for a few special ones, the last ones to leave were the cooks and Deputy Factory Director Li. You have to say, Mr. Li really helped a lot.
There wasn’t much left uneaten, and Shazhu’s calculation of the portion sizes was pretty reliable.
Gao Zhendong saved some of the food for dinner and generously distributed it to the chefs, which made them very happy. Director Gao's table was full of delicious food.
The children in the yard ate their fill, whether snacks or full meals, and they enjoyed themselves very much. Even after many years, some of them still remember that "there were so many delicious foods when Uncle Gao got married."
Unlike before, Sha Zhu didn't ask for anything. In his words, if he took the money at his brother's wedding, he couldn't afford to lose face.
Actually, there were quite a lot of people at the dinner, including Wang Dezhuo's family, Xie Jianye's family, Lou Shouxing, Sha Zhu, He Yushui, Lin Lianwei, Su Weihua, Ding Yongnian, and, yes, Comrade Li, who kept calling people "teacher" and "teacher's wife".
Mr. and Mrs. Lou went back home, but the brother-in-law stayed. They were all young people and could talk to each other.
A group of people turned on a TV with few programs and chattered loudly. Anyway, Wang Dezhu, Xie Jianye and Sha Zhu all walked out of the house holding on to the wall.
Gao Zhendong arranged for Ding Yongnian to send Wang Dezhuo's family back home, and Xiao Li to send Xie Jianye's family to the factory guesthouse. Lin Lianwei and Su Weihua stayed at Lin Lianwei's place.
As for himself, he was full of energy and clear-eyed. He was in very good health and sobered up very quickly. He wanted to make trouble in my bridal chamber? No way!
After everyone left, it was already late. Lou Xiao'e sat by the bed, staring at Gao Zhendong infatuatedly. Gao Zhendong smiled and said, "Xiao'e, shall we take a rest?"
Although Gao Zhendong looked calm, he was actually nervous inside. This was the first time in his life, but he had to keep his face intact and not lose the battle.
Lou Xiao'e blushed: "Yeah."
The lights were off and everything was quiet. It was a peaceful and tranquil night.
