attend a wedding

After putting all the things I received today into the space, I thought about it and took out a few imported snacks sent by Zhang Xu from the space. I have never eaten the imported snacks of this era, so I don’t know if they are delicious.

A book, a cup of tea, a few small desserts, and a leisurely afternoon spent in the yard.

After cutting the pig grass and sending it to the pig factory the next day, I met Zhang Weiye on the way home. He invited me to attend his wedding to Liu Meimei, the daughter of the Party Secretary of the First Production Brigade, which would be the day after tomorrow.

Zhang Weiye is a pretty good person. Since he invited himself, he will definitely go. I wonder if weddings in this era will be like those on TV.

Since I didn't know how to attend Zhang Weiye's wedding, I went to the educated youth spot to ask Liu Xiaomei, who had no holiday with me.

She said that because Zhang Weiye had a good relationship with everyone, they jointly bought a pair of thermos kettles for him, and later gave each person 50 cents as a gift.

After hearing what she said, she knew what she was saying. Since they gave a hot water bottle plus a gift of 50 cents, then if she didn't give a hot water bottle, she could just double the gift. This way, people would not be able to make a mistake.

The wedding day soon came. Because Zhang Weiye was getting married and it was inconvenient to live in the educated youth spot, he applied to the team for a homestead to build a new house. Now he is walking towards Zhang Weiye's home with the people in the educated youth spot.

As soon as he arrived at Zhang Weiye's house, he saw a gay man who asked the educated youth to quickly go with him to the party secretary's house to pick up the bride. He was afraid of missing the auspicious time.

Zhang Weiye's family bought a bicycle for his wedding. Although his home was very close to the bride's home, he still rode his own bicycle to pick up the bride. These days, it is very prestigious to pick up a bride on a bicycle.

Curious about what the wedding was like, I followed them towards the bride's house.

When he arrived at the bride's house, he saw Zhang Weiye saying hello to his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and he was waiting at the door with his bicycle. When he was curious about what he was doing, he heard everyone shouting that the bride is here, the bride is here...

Looking in the direction where everyone was looking, they saw the bride being carried by a man and walking toward Zhang Weiye. When Zhang Weiye saw the bride arriving, he quickly stopped his bicycle and reached out to take the bride off the man's back, and also I said thank you to my brother-in-law.

Zhang Weiye carried the bride to the back seat of the bicycle and sat on it. He did not get on the bicycle but pushed the bicycle. The gay men who came with him carried the bride’s dowry and followed behind the bicycle. There were many small children along the way. The children followed the bicycle to see the bride, and the scene was very lively.

It didn't take long for them to return to Zhang Weiye's house. The bridegroom and the bride became a real couple after they took the oath in front of everyone.

The next step is to open the banquet. This time there are six dishes in total, including cabbage and tofu, pork and sauerkraut, pork and vermicelli, braised fish, braised potatoes and egg soup.

When Zhang Weiye said that everyone should eat and drink well, he saw that all the dishes in front of him were gone. He was dumbfounded when he saw this scene. This was even more exaggerated than what was shown on TV. It really took a few seconds for the dishes to be sold out. .

He swallowed his saliva and silently put the chopsticks on the table. When he saw everyone finishing the food in their bowls, they got up and said hello to the groom and left. He also quickly said hello to Albert Zhang and left.

After returning home, I slipped into the space and thought that although the whole process of Albert Zhang's wedding today was very simple, it was very warm. Compared to the complicated and cumbersome formal weddings of later generations, I still prefer the simple and warm ones now.
