At half past nine, a military jeep with big red flowers on it stopped at the door of the guest house. The groom, who was sitting in the passenger seat, opened the door and got out of the car. Wearing a neat and straight military uniform, he rushed into the guest house in three steps at a time.
Lu Jingyang accompanied his brother to the wedding today and acted as the driver. After parking the car, he took the prepared wedding candies and threw them in a circle among the passing people. He also distributed wedding candies to all the staff and guests in the guest house. Let everyone feel happy.
Gong Linglong got up early today, went out to have breakfast, and then came back to change into her wedding clothes, put on a red scarf knitted by her aunt, and put on a light makeup with the cosmetics she bought yesterday.
Her hair was tied by her mother's own hands. The hairstyle was delicate and gentle. She also wore the red beaded flower she bought at the state-owned store yesterday, which was simple and beautiful.
After Lu Jingchuan pushed the door open and came in, his eyes were glued to her body. If his mother-in-law and younger brother weren't there, he might have been unable to control himself and pounced on her.
After all the luggage was loaded into the car, the newlyweds went out side by side and set off amidst everyone's congratulations.
Half an hour later, the jeep drove into the military family area.
"The bride is here."
The children who were placed on sentry duty in front saw the jeep coming and shouted and reported in a swarm.
Zhou Lanqin had been waiting at the door for a long time. Today, she, the new happy mother-in-law, also wore a small red flower on her chest and her hair was combed meticulously. When the car came, she smiled and stepped forward to open the door for her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
"Wow, the bride is so beautiful."
Gong Linglong was the focus of everyone's attention today. She was shocked by the enthusiasm of the family area as soon as she got off the car, and she quickly took the wedding candies she had prepared and threw them into the crowd.
Lu Jingchuan attached great importance to today's wedding. He had invited the commander of the army to be the officiant and the political commissar to be the witness. The entire wedding process was traditional and serious.
Today there is no interesting wedding ceremony like that of later generations, and the wedding process is not cumbersome. The officiant and the witnesses each said a few formulaic words of blessing, and then the two of them took an oath and saluted the portrait of the great man, and then paid homage to the two people who raised them. The Great Mother salutes, and the couple bows to each other again.
Weddings are rarely held in the army. Most military marriages are held in their hometowns. After reaching a certain military rank, their family members will be brought to join the army.
Today, Lu Jingchuan, the young, promising and famous deputy commander, is holding a wedding within the military region. The army attaches great importance to it. Not only are the red characters for happiness posted at home, but there are also many red festive couplets posted in the family area, making it even more lively than the Chinese New Year. .
Eight banquet tables were also prepared for the wedding banquet. All leaders and military family members were invited to attend the wedding banquet. Military family members were also asked to help prepare the meals for the wedding banquet.
After Gong Linglong paid his respects, he returned to the couple's new house. The decoration in the room was very simple, but very warm and festive. All the furniture and items had hand-cut happy words on them, and towels, thermos bottles, cups, etc. were all in pairs. Yes, they are arranged very neatly.
Lu Jingchuan had just received a group of guests outside, and now he opened the door and came in, "Linglong, the wedding banquet is about to start. Let's go out and toast together."
"good."
The leaders and family members of the army were here today, and she happened to get to know them.
Bai Narcissus has long been arranged to sit at the guest table. The people at this table are all leaders. She has received a higher education and good etiquette. She communicates with the leaders calmly and naturally, her attitude is neither humble nor overbearing, and her temperament and conversation are elegant, which makes the guests present appreciate her. She was quite impressed.
After the wedding banquet officially started, the newlyweds came to toast. Gong Linglong only needed a brief introduction from Lu Jingchuan, and the conversation and thank you speeches that followed were so perfect that there was no fault in them.
Zhou Lanqin accompanied her son and daughter-in-law throughout the whole process. She was very satisfied when she saw that her daughter-in-law seemed to be used to big scenes. She was not nervous at all, spoke well and humorously, and joked generously with the leaders. She was extremely satisfied and even whispered to her younger son: " Jingyang, when you look for a wife from now on, just follow your sister-in-law’s choice."
Lu Jingyang laughed softly: "How about I ask my aunt to arrange a big surprise for me?"
"Okay, your aunt is good at judging people, and the ones she likes will be good."
After paying respects to the leadership table, the newlyweds came to the military wives. Gong Linglong first picked up the wine glass and thanked them: "Sisters-in-law, thank you for your hard work today."
"Sister, you don't have to be so polite. You are welcome to join our big family."
Jiang Yaping, the daughter-in-law of Captain Sun, stood up, clinked the cup with her, and introduced her: "The people sitting at our table are all family members of the regiment. This is Yu Ximei, the political commissar's wife, and Liao Qiuhua, the head of the first battalion. The second battalion commander’s family is Xu Lu, the third battalion commander’s family is Yang Xiaolan, the deputy battalion commander’s family is Wang Yumiao, the second deputy battalion commander’s family is Chen Eryan, and the third deputy battalion commander is unmarried and has no family.”
"Hello sisters-in-law, I have never understood the situation in the army before. I am new here and I don't know much about the family area. I will ask some sisters-in-law to teach me later. Please don't dislike me for talking too much."
Gong Linglong knows the importance of interpersonal relationships very well. She will live here for a long time in the future, so it is necessary to have good relationships with these family members and sisters-in-law.
"Sister, don't be so polite. If you need anything in the future, you can always come to us. We will ask you to participate in group activities."
Jiang Yaping is the core figure in the family area and the women's director. She has a high level of thinking, is very enthusiastic and cheerful, and most importantly, conscientious and has a high status in the family area.
After she drank a round of toasts, most people in the family area had the impression that Gong Linglong was beautiful, generous, polite and talkative. Standing together with Deputy Commander Lu was like a match made in heaven.
Of course, there were a few who had other thoughts, but since the leaders were all here, they didn't say anything.
Gong Linglong returned to the new house after toasting. Zhou Lanqin brought her food and said, "Linglong, Jingchuan is having two more drinks with the leaders outside. You can eat in the room. If you need anything, call me."
"Okay. Mom, thank you for your hard work. Go and eat."
Zhou Lanqin brought her some of each dish, and a bowl of chicken soup was placed in her hand. "Linglong, remember to drink the chicken soup and add tonics to replenish your body."
Seeing that there was very little soup in this bowl of chicken soup, it was all chicken, and the chicken legs were the meatiest. Gong Linglong was moved: "Okay, thank you, Mom."
Finally having his own meal, Gong Linglong took the bowl and ate happily, taking a big dumpling in one mouthful and eating it happily.
Lu Jingchuan came in midway and saw his young daughter-in-law eating pork belly. He asked with a smile: "Linglong, are the dishes enough? Do you want me to help you get some more?"
"No, that's enough."
Gong Linglong spoke inarticulately, his mouth was full of oil, and his eyebrows were crooked with smiles: "I'm almost finished eating, you probably haven't eaten much, go and eat more, don't be hungry on the wedding day My stomach is full.”
"You won't be hungry, you will definitely be full."
Lu Jingchuan stared at her with deep eyes. He had to eat enough today. Only when he was full would he have strength. Going to the bridal chamber tonight would be very strenuous.
