August 1, 1963.
Early in the morning.
The Yan family all got up early and ran to the small courtyard to help.
Yan Jiecheng wore new clothes and carefully combed his hair into a three-quarter length.
He put on his shiny leather shoes, carried his bag and went out.
The third aunt has tied a big red flower on the handlebar of the bicycle.
Yan Jiecheng felt a little uncomfortable when he saw the big red flower, but didn't say anything, so he rode his bicycle to Chang Kexin's house.
On the way, Yan Jiecheng felt a little funny.
Getting married these days is really simple if you say it is simple, and it is quite complicated if you say it is complicated.
Yan Jiecheng has always known that marriage requires a letter of introduction from the employer.
He went to the unit the day before yesterday to open a letter of introduction and found out that he had to make a report first.
It is necessary to write down the process of two people from the moment they realized they fell in love.
A letter of introduction will be issued only after it is submitted to the unit for review.
The letter of introduction said: After review, the two of you meet the marriage conditions and agree to get married. Please go through the marriage registration procedures.
Yan Jiecheng and Chang Kexin also went to the hospital for a physical examination, and the hospital issued a physical registration form.
Only with these things in hand can you register.
When Yan Jiecheng arrived at Chang's house, Lao Chang was not at home.
Chang's mother and Cuihua were at the door. When they saw Yan Jiecheng, they smiled and said, "Here you go, hurry in. This kid, Ke Xin, is waiting impatiently."
When several people walked inside, Chang's mother said: "Your uncle was summoned away by the Government Affairs Council early this morning.
It was said that the Prime Minister of Somalia, Shemak, was visiting, and your uncle and the people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were in charge of welcoming him. "
After finishing speaking, he said with some worry: "I don't know if I can come back in the afternoon."
What Yan Jiecheng could say, he could only comfort Chang's mother: "National affairs are important, Ke Xin and I both understand."
While talking, several people arrived in the living room.
At this time, Chang Kexin was about to go out. She just heard Yan Jiecheng's voice and was ready to go out and take a look.
Seeing Yan Jiecheng come in, he smiled stupidly at Yan Jiecheng.
Chang Kexin was wearing a light cyan shirt and black trousers today, looking very capable.
In fact, Chang Kexin was worried about clothes during this period.
She also wanted to dress beautifully when getting married, but since the year before last, everyone stopped wearing skirts and wore floral clothes.
Everyone was dressed in black, gray and green, and all her beautiful clothes and skirts were burned that year.
Just like sixteen-year-old Yan Jiecheng, he saw Qin Huairu wearing a dress that summer.
There was no ink mark on either of them, so Yan Jiecheng took Chang Kexin to the civil affairs department on his bicycle.
After a period of questioning, it was confirmed that the two were voluntarily married. The staff then went through the formalities.
Finally, the two received the marriage certificate handed over by the staff.
This marriage certificate looks like a certificate of merit and looks very festive.
Exited the registration office.
Yan Jiecheng wore Chang Kexin while riding his bicycle, and he felt different from before.
I couldn't help but sing in a low voice:
rest of life
The wind and snow are you
Ordinary is 伱
You are also poor
Ronghua is you
The gentleness in my heart is you
The sight is also yours
…
Chang Kexin couldn't help but close her eyes as she listened, holding her hands tightly around Yan Jiecheng's waist.
The two went to the department store and bought five kilograms of packaged toffee with their marriage certificate.
These days, there are extra candy quotas for weddings. There are still some differences according to levels and types of work.
Some weigh two kilograms, and some weigh five kilograms.
Some are jelly beans, and some are packaged milk candies.
Yan Jiecheng's level just met the highest standard, five kilograms of packaged toffee.
Don't be surprised. Thinking about the mainstream people getting married, the director is considered to be a high-ranking person.
On the way, I went to the police station to handle household registration transfer and grain transfer.
It was already noon when the two returned to the small courtyard.
As soon as they arrived at the door, Yan Jiecheng lit a long string of firecrackers, which frightened Yan Jiecheng and the two of them and almost fell off their bicycles.
Yan Jiecheng thought that setting off firecrackers would no longer be allowed, but unexpectedly it was still allowed.
In fact, this is Yan Jiecheng's misunderstanding.
Now in the early days of the founding of the country, everything is waiting to be done.
At this time, domestic culture was influenced by Western culture and then personalized and integrated to form a culture with its own characteristics.
Therefore, everything now needs to reflect the new and get rid of many old customs.
At least in Han Chinese society, the traditional and combined Chinese and Western weddings disappeared, and a new kind of wedding took their place.
Take care of your father-in-law, be filial to your mother-in-law, forget it.
Playing and playing to welcome the bride, taking wedding photos in cheongsam and suit, otherwise I wouldn’t dare.
However, three old elements are clearly visible in even the newest wedding.
Married men and women can live together legally;
The wedding tells everyone that they can legally live together;
Marriage certificate is the legal certificate for living together legally.
After setting off firecrackers, Yan Jiefang shouted: "The bride is here, the bride is here."
Everyone came out of the yard when they heard the sound of firecrackers.
In addition to Yan Jiecheng's family, there are also some friends he invited, such as Xu Damao, Lao Xie and others.
There are also some people invited by Laochang, but these people are not like the young people who like to join in the fun and stay in the courtyard without coming out.
Under the gaze of everyone, Yan Jiecheng and Chang Kexin were preparing to walk into the yard.
At this time, other children in the alleys came to pick up firecrackers.
Just pick up the ones that haven't been fried. You should pick them up and fry them yourself.
Yan Jiecheng looked at the children, took the wedding candies from Chang Kexin's hand, grabbed a large handful, and threw them towards the children.
When the children saw that it was wedding candy, they pushed me to the ground and scrambled to pick it up.
Some of them just picked them up from the ground and hurriedly put them into their mouths and started eating.
In the courtyard, there is an Eight Immortals table in front of the main room, with several long benches on both sides. A large double happiness sign is posted on the wall directly above the table.
The first part of the wedding was to firecrackers and music. Firecrackers meant setting off firecrackers. Yan Jiefang had set off a long firecracker.
As for gongs and drums, there really aren’t any.
In the courtyard, the witness was invited by Lao Chang. His status was too high, and Yan Jiecheng did not dare to show off in front of him.
This boss is an important member of the core leadership group who came from the southwest.
Under his auspices, a group of old comrades asked Yan Jiecheng to talk about the history of revolutionary marriage.
Then the two sang two more revolutionary songs, indicating that they would work hard for the revolutionary cause and promote each other's progress in the future.
Several big bosses even expressed their intention to leave the seeds for this great cause as soon as possible so that there will be successors.
Yan Jiecheng naturally follows goodness.
Then he bowed to the statue of the great man.
Although the wedding was also festive, the overall process made Yan Jiecheng feel that it was more like a swearing-in ceremony.
The process is over, but Comrade Lao Chang hasn't come yet, so it seems he won't be able to arrive.
Seeing this, Chang Kexin was somewhat disappointed.
Yan Jiecheng noticed that Chang Kexin was a little depressed, so he patted her hand to comfort her.
Fortunately, not long after, Chang's mother arrived with Cuihua.
Pulled Chang Kexin to talk privately.
Yan Jiecheng saw that someone had set up a stove in the front yard and started cooking.
So the Romanians quickly set up two tables in the courtyard.
Yan Bugui was pulled to talk by some big guys, and he was already laughing like crazy.
He just kept nodding and smiling, and he didn't know what to say to these big guys.
He had no choice but to nod and smile at everything they said.
Xu Damao saw this kind of scene for the first time, and his cleverness took action.
I was working everywhere, and there was still mud on my face to put on the stove.
Director Long March and Director Dai now have nails under their butts and can't sit still.
The people carrying the tables and placing the benches were very busy.
After a while, the chef prepared the meal and everyone was ready to eat.
Xu Damao didn't go to the banquet, but he wanted to serve food.
How can this work?
The people who served the dishes were all arranged by Lao Chang and did not give him a chance at all.
This guy is still depressed and doesn't know what he thinks.
You know, there are some core leadership figures sitting in this courtyard today. How could their food be allowed to pass through other people's hands?
Although Xu Damao's background has been reviewed, no one dares to take this risk.
When Yan Jiecheng brought Chang Kexin back, with his superhuman perception, he found that there were several pairs of eyes staring at him in the alley outside, and there were also some more people on the street outside the alley.
Presumably they are all from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
After the dishes were served, the bosses simply ate the first two dishes with their chopsticks and prepared to leave.
After all, they all have a lot to do, and they all took time out because of their friendship with Lao Chang.
At this moment, a person Yan Jiecheng didn't recognize came into the yard.
Seeing the visitor, several big shots were a little surprised. Chang's mother hurriedly greeted: "Secretary Chen, why are you here?"
The secretary smiled and said: "The dean asked me to give a gift to Comrades Yan Jiecheng and Chang Kexin."
Chang's mother quickly called Yan Jie to the two of them and said, "This is the secretary to the president of the Government Affairs Council. Your name is Uncle Chen."
"Uncle Chen."
Secretary Chen then took out a roll of banners from his briefcase, opened it and handed it to Yan Jiecheng and said, "This is the gift the dean asked me to deliver to you. Please keep it well."
Yan Jiecheng quickly took it and saw that it was an embroidery of the scenery of West Lake in Hangzhou.
Embroidered with an inscription written by Mr. Yan Jiecheng and Chang Kexin on their wedding anniversary.
When everyone saw the gift, they all congratulated Yan Jiecheng and Chang Kexin.
Under Yan Jiecheng's enthusiastic persuasion, Secretary Chen drank a small glass of wedding wine before leaving.
The remaining big guys also got up and left together.
Seeing these people leaving, Director Long March and Director Dai heaved a sigh of relief, and their hands were no longer cautious when picking up food.
After half an hour, the banquet dispersed and the guests left.
The chefs and others from the internal affairs department also left with their belongings.
Only Yan Jiecheng's family was left in the courtyard.
After Yan Bugui arranged for everyone to clean up, he also took the whole family back to the courtyard.
In the small courtyard, Yan Jiecheng and Chang Kexin were left alone.
Seeing everyone leaving, Yan Jiecheng felt itchy in his heart. But after all, it's broad daylight, and some things won't be urgent for a while.
The two of them put the banner in a box under the statue of the great man in the main room and put it away.
Then, like many newlyweds, they looked at the gift list.
Today's guests all give gifts, and these Yanbu nobles have detailed records.
What surprised Yan Jiecheng was that all the trainees in the academy also gave gifts.
After looking at the gift list, I realized that they were all brought by the Director of the Long March.
Why does Yan Jiecheng know this? Because when Yan Bugui recorded it, there was a code on the gift list.
For example, Shen Youliang gave a box of wedding wine and went on a long march.
Looking at the gift list, there are many names and gifts.
Yan Jiecheng and the others stopped looking and went directly to the west wing to see the gifts.
Today the gifts were placed in the west wing, so they were going to take a look.
As soon as they opened the door to the west wing, both of them were shocked.
The room was slowly filled with gifts, and no one could get in.
Yan Jiecheng saw this scene and felt that he had something to do again.
After that, he had to go find Director Dai. After all, the gift he received had exceeded his imagination.
Chang Kexin was also frightened and said: "Brother Yan, there are so many, will everything be okay?"
Yan Jiecheng said: "It's okay. Let's not touch these gifts for now. I will report to Director Dai with the gift list after work and see what the department says."
Chang Kexin thought for a while and that was all she could think of.
The two went on to look at the gift list and found that although the things everyone gave were not too expensive, they couldn't stand the crowd.
There are 280 students in the academy, and 256 of them gave gifts.
There were also some colleagues from the college, comrades from the ministry, and people from the technical college who were close friends who all sent their wedding blessings.
What's more, some of the road bureaus below, who heard the news from nowhere, also had gifts present.
Seeing the names of these people, Yan Jiecheng couldn't help but sigh that these people are all capable people.
If these people were put in the Jianghu, it would be fine. I guarantee that all of them would be Jianghu agents and Bai Xiaosheng!
After counting the gift lists, the two of them were very tired, so they slumped down on the sofa and looked at each other.
In the end, Chang Kexin was no match for Yan Jiecheng and ran away as if running away.
A man ran to the master bedroom and started to tidy up the bedroom.
The third aunt had put jujubes, peanuts, longans, and chestnuts on the bed in the bedroom.
As a top student at Huaqing University, Chang Kexin saw through this homophone at a glance.
Seeing that Yan Jiecheng didn't pay attention, he quickly found a food box and put all these things away.
Yan Jiecheng smiled when he saw Kexin's little gesture. The third aunt asked Yan Jiecheng to prepare these things. How could he not know about it.
Seeing Chang Kexin already looking like a hostess, she was cleaning the house.
Yan Jiecheng couldn't bear it anymore, hugged Chang Kexin's waist from behind and said, "Hey, wife. We should listen to the opinions of our elders.
Leave a successor to our great cause as soon as possible. "
Chang Kexin slapped Yan Jiecheng's hand and said, "What are you doing? Let me go, it's broad daylight."
Yan Jiecheng chuckled and said, "Just scream, no one will save you even if your throat is broken."
Chang Kexin was also amused by Yan Jiecheng's words. Yan Jiecheng took the opportunity to turn Chang Kexin around, preparing for a long and passionate kiss.
Chang Kexin also realized something and quickly closed his eyes in panic.
At this moment, I heard the sound of footsteps outside, accompanied by a voice: "Xiao Yan, Kexin..."
