At Song Yuping's insistence, her family did not ask for a penny in gifts, which already moved Fang Hanmin. If Song Yuping had to spend money to purchase wedding supplies, he would have no place to put his face!
Fang Hanmin was busy working all day and had no time to consider the practical problems in daily life. After Song Yuping's reminder, he not only fully agreed with Song Yuping's statement, but also immediately stated that all the expenses for purchasing wedding supplies would be fully borne by him.
"This is a matter between the two of us. I also have a salary, why should you bear it alone?" Song Yuping didn't seem to appreciate it.
"Yuping, I'm very grateful that your family didn't ask for any gifts from me. If you share the cost of wedding supplies with me, how do you expect me to behave?"
"My self-esteem is still so strong, okay, you will bear the cost of wedding supplies. We need to buy a few sets of clothes. I will pay for it." Song Yuping was not stingy.
"It has nothing to do with self-esteem. I should spend this money to get married and start a family. Besides, why do we need to buy a few sets of clothes? We don't lack clothes!" Fang Hanmin has always been frugal in terms of clothing.
"Compared with the rules in the countryside back home, we have changed customs and done new things. It is already simple enough! You and I both have salary income. Not only does it not cause any burden to our parents, but we are not short of money. Marriage is a major event in life. Wouldn’t it be too shabby if you don’t even buy a few sets of clothes?”
After hearing Song Yuping's words, Fang Hanmin immediately came to his senses, "Yes, yes, you must buy clothes. I usually don't take care of them. I just took this opportunity to buy you a few more sets of clothes. However, like other wedding supplies, I will pay for them." bear."
"Didn't you agree that I would pay for the clothes? Why did you change your mind again?"
"Yuping, we are going to become an official couple in a few days, why are we so clear about it? Otherwise, I will hand over the financial power to you now, and you will be fully responsible for all expenditures. I will take care of the money. do not care."
This was a serious question. Song Yuping did not agree immediately, but asked: "Do you really think so? I have no intention of taking over financial power."
"Oh, look at your serious look, what's the point of this? Isn't it just to give you my salary? To tell you the truth, I hold multiple jobs in the company and I am so busy all day long that I have no time to take care of my family. Only by handing over the financial power to you can I concentrate on my work. The key is that I am not good at managing daily expenses. In the future, this work in the family can only be left to you."
Although Fang Hanmin said it very sincerely, Song Yuping did not show interest immediately, "We will talk about this later. It is popular to travel and get married now, but you definitely don't have time. I want to know how you plan to marry me home." ? You can’t just sneak into the same bed that night without any form, right?"
For this question, Fang Hanmin was not prepared at all. After several minutes, he frowned and asked hesitantly: "What form? Didn't we get the marriage certificate half a month ago? What other forms are needed?"
Song Yuping rolled her eyes at the other party, "Looking at what you said, although we are in a free love relationship, we can still be considered married to a matchmaker, right? There should be a witnessing ceremony anyway, otherwise, what's going on?"
Fang Hanmin had never experienced anything like this before, and he was really stumped. "Yuping, how about I ask the people in the labor union at my unit for an idea?"
"You are the director of a large factory. If the people in the labor union know that you are married, will they give you a job? Do you want everyone in the factory to know?" Song Yuping reminded.
Fang Hanmin waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, no, I don't want people in the factory to know about this, I'm afraid they will follow suit and the impact will be too bad!"
Song Yuping covered her mouth and said with a smile: "I'll scare you. Once the people in the factory know that their factory director is married, they probably won't be able to sit at eight or ten tables just for the people from the agency, right?"
"Stop talking, I won't let them know! Even if I don't consider the impact, I won't do that, because I hate reciprocity! But, where can I get you the witness ceremony you want?"
Seeing Fang Hanmin's very embarrassed look, Song Yuping thought for a moment, "Is there no one you want to tell the most about our marriage?"
"Yes," Fang Hanmin blurted out, "The old leader of the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory, who is now Director Yuan of the Municipal Industry Bureau, not only made it easy for you to transfer your work, but also spent a lot of troubles to solve the problem for us now. I must tell him about this house and our marriage."
"How do you want to tell Director Yuan? Just give him a call?"
Fang Hanmin thought for a moment and said, "On our wedding day, I want to treat him to a meal."
Song Yuping nodded in agreement, "Okay! But only him? Just the two of us, plus Director Yuan? How boring that would be! I guess he won't stay for dinner even if he comes."
"How about inviting a few guests to accompany him and form a table?" Fang Hanmin became enlightened.
"That's right! Director Yuan is an old leader. If you don't have someone to accompany you, they won't eat your food. But can you gather a table of people?"
"This...let me think about it."
After some comparison and weighing, Fang Hanmin counted with his fingers. Among his best friends inside and outside the factory, Jiao Tiehui from the factory was his best friend. Liu Gong from the Guichun County Water Conservancy Bureau was a noble person in his life. And has always been concerned about his marriage. He must be counted as one. Hou, the head of the human resources department of Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory, tried his best to help Fang Hanmin during the process of his temporary job becoming a regular worker and his subsequent promotion. Section Chief Hou should be counted as one, "Plus The two of us and Director Yuan can make up six people."
"Six people can only form a small table. Isn't the number of people a little small?"
Except for Section Chief Hou of the Personnel Department and Jiao Tiehui of the Labor Discipline Inspection Office, Fang Hanmin didn’t want any colleagues in the factory to know about this, so he didn’t care about the number of people. “I don’t want other people to get involved, less Just a little less.”
"Okay, in this position, you have to pay attention to the influence and not let other people participate. You have your own reasons. However, before we were assigned to this house, Xiao Min facilitated our meetings many times. I think she You should be invited; in addition, your old classmate Yu Dongmei has contributed a lot to my transfer. I suggest you give her a message. It is her business to come or not; and your classmate Lu Hui, he is your classmate. Are you the best friend in the movie? If you keep it secret from him, will he be angry when he finds out about it in the future? "
Song Yuping's reminder made Fang Hanmin suddenly think of something, "Yes, Lu Hui is not only the best buddy among my classmates, when he knew that my hometown was short of money to repair a house, he took out a sum of money from the working capital to borrow money without saying a word. Give it to me. The money was only returned to him last year, and every time we met or talked on the phone, he asked about our marriage. We really should inform him. Yu Dongmei, forget it, after all, she and I had a bad time. , I’m afraid she will be resentful. As for Xiao Min, do you think it’s appropriate for her to participate in such an occasion?”
"What's inappropriate? Xiao Min knows Director Yuan, Section Chief Hou and Jiao Tiehui. You and she used to work in the same office. It's normal for her to attend your wedding! The relationship between you and Yu Dongmei Hasn't the barrier been eliminated? She is also your classmate and helped me a lot with my transfer. Don't you want to thank her?" Song Yuping seemed to be quite generous in treating Fang Hanmin's female colleagues and ex-girlfriend.
"You can invite Xiao Min, but Yu Dongmei is a bit emotional. I don't want to cause any unpleasantness on our special day, so I think we should forget it."
It's not that Fang Hanmin stubbornly insists on his own opinion, but that he knows Dongmei too well! After he broke up with Yu Dongmei, more than half a year passed. On the surface, it seemed that Yu Dongmei no longer hated him. In fact, every time they met, Yu Dongmei would take the opportunity to beat him and even make fun of him. Ironically, Fang Hanmin didn't want to be acquainted with her, so he had to meet her as little or as little as possible.
Song Yuping's suggestion is certainly reasonable. If Yu Dongmei had not found a teaching position in Shuangling No. 6 Middle School with her own ability, it would have been two years before Song Yuping could be transferred to work in the city. Fang Hanmin and Yu Dongmei were classmates. She should be invited to a wedding banquet.
However, Fang Hanmin has lingering fears about Dongmei's emotional personality. If she gets emotional on Fang Hanmin's happy day, she will inevitably say something unpleasant. Not only will Fang Hanmin and Song Yuping be unable to come to the stage, but it will also embarrass other guests. If that happens, wouldn't it be self-defeating?
Since Fang Hanmin refused to invite Yu Dongmei, Song Yuping had nothing to say, "Anyway, I'm reminding you. Just don't accuse me wrongly of your ex-girlfriend in the future."
"It has nothing to do with you. If you have any questions in the future, let her come to me."...
On Sunday morning, Fang Hanmin accompanied Song Yuping to buy all the wedding supplies he had chosen yesterday. After lunch, Fang Hanmin wanted to go to the technology center to see yesterday's test results. Song Yuping stopped him, "Where are you going? There are still some in the afternoon. Something happened."
"I've bought the wedding supplies, what else can I do?"
"You can't remember anything other than work in your mind. No wonder you say noble people forget things. We agreed with you last night that after buying wedding supplies, we also need to buy clothes. Have you forgotten about it?"
"Oh, oh," Fang Hanmin really didn't take this matter too seriously. Knowing that he was in the wrong, he hurriedly said perfunctorily: "Don't forget, I have handed over the financial power to you. You can just take care of the purchase of clothes. "
"What should I do? What you said is too simple! Do the clothes I bought for you fit? Do the colors and styles match your body and skin tone? What should I do if you don't come to the scene? Besides, even if the clothes I bought , whether it looks good on me or not, I also need you to help me advise. Give me the financial power, do you just want to be the hands-off shopkeeper and not worry about anything? "
"But, I want to see the results of yesterday's test and I'll be back soon."
"What time is it now? By the time you come back from the factory, it will be time for the mall to get off work. Your tests should not be completed in one day. You will see the test results when you go to work tomorrow. How much impact will a half-day delay have on your work?"
Fang Hanmin really couldn't find a reason to escape, so he had to follow Song Yuping to the clothing department of the mall and went straight to the men's clothing counter. Since he had already chosen his target yesterday, Song Yuping asked the salesperson to take out two sets of casual wear and two sets of suits that she designated, and then turned around Xiang Hanmin ordered: "Try it on and see if it fits."
"Buying clothes for you, why do you ask me to...?" Fang Hanmin followed Song Yuping absentmindedly, a little confused for a moment.
"Sir, this is the men's clothing counter. Which one do you want to try on first?" The two salesmen held the clothes and waited next to Fang Hanmin.
"I..., Hi!" Fang Hanmin looked at Song Yuping, not knowing what to say.
Song Yuping didn't pay attention to Fang Hanmin's complicated expression at all. She said nonchalantly: "I asked you to try it on to see if it fits. Why are you looking at me?"
