He had never really experienced marriage in the Northeast, so he obeyed the arrangements of his elders. After working hard for a long time, he finally rode his bicycle and took a few people to pick up Zheng Juan.
Being able to get married on a bicycle these days is already a very prestigious thing. When Zhou Chen came to visit, the folks in Taiping Hutong were all talking about it and were envious of it.
Finally, a large group of guests arrived at the house rented by Zhou Chen to prepare for the noon banquet.
As the host, Zhou Chen is also responsible for welcoming guests.
Today he prepared a total of four tables, two in the house and two in the small yard outside. Because the weather was cold, a shed was set up outside, and there was a stove nearby for cooking, so it wouldn't be too cold.
This place is not difficult to find, and Zhou Chen gave an accurate address, so friends and family can find it.
Xiao Guoqing and Sun Qianchao, who came early, helped Zhou Chen entertain the guests. Both of them held cigarettes and scattered them when they saw people.
Zhou Chen arranged for Ma Shouchang, Qu Xiuzhen, Shao Jingwen, and several leaders of the publishing house to sit at the table in the room. The other elders also sat in the room, as did the rest of his friends and relatives.
A table was arranged outside.
"Zhou Chen, I heard that it's your big day today, so we're here to congratulate you."
Suddenly several young people came over. Zhou Chen saw them and immediately greeted them. Lu Chuan among them said with a smile.
The arrival of Lu Chuan and others surprised Zhou Chen because he had not notified them and did not expect them to come.
"Welcome, welcome. You are here to give me face. It's too late for me to be happy. On National Day, these three are my friends. Please arrange for them to sit down."
In addition to Lu Chuan, Cao Debao and Tang Xiangyang also came.
Speaking of Tang Xiangyang, Zhou Chen didn't know him before, but later Lu Chuan came to Zhou Chen several times to borrow books and brought Tang Xiangyang with him. After going back and forth, they got to know each other.
As for Cao Debao, Zhou Chen only met him once at Ma Shouchang's house. Unexpectedly, all three of them came.
Looking at it this way, the "Six Little Gentlemen" in the TV series are inexplicably reunited. Is this God's will?
Cao Debao did not sit down immediately. Instead, he walked around the room first and then returned to the table outside to sit down. As soon as he sat down, he started discussing with Lu Chuan and Tang Xiangyang.
"Chuan'er, Xiangyang, Zhou Bingkun looks very rich this time. His house is very large, with three bedrooms."
Cao Debao's face was filled with envy and jealousy. Their family was now crowded into the same room. Compared with Zhou Chen's place, it was a million miles away.
In fact, their family was not that poor originally, but it began to decline during his father's generation. When he came here, he did not enjoy a few days of happiness.
Precisely because his father's generation was prosperous, he always wanted to rebuild the family business. However, he had no ability, so he could only hope to marry a princess from a high-ranking official's family who was in trouble.
It's a pity that after searching for so many years, he still hasn't found the right one. The violin princess he originally yearned for has ended up in an unknown place.
Lu Chuan couldn't stand Cao Debao's behavior and warned: "Debao, we are here to attend a wedding today. Don't wander around."
Cao Debao was dissatisfied and said: "I'm just looking around. If I can come, it's to give Zhou Bingkun face. We are all friends. Why can't we take a look?"
"Okay, keep your voice down so that no one can hear you."
Lu Chuan was helpless. He had never thought of bringing Cao Debao here, but if Cao Debao insisted on coming, there was nothing he could do.
Cao Debao continued: "I just went in and took a look. Qu Shuji and her old man were inside, and there seemed to be a few leaders inside. I don't know who they were. I couldn't tell, but Zhou Bingkun's reputation was quite high.
."
Tang Xiangyang said: "Zhou Bingkun is a very capable person and very knowledgeable."
He had been in contact with Zhou Chen several times, because both of his parents were teachers. He had a certain discernment in looking at people, and he could tell that Zhou Chen was different.
"Really, but in this current situation, what if you are knowledgeable?"
Cao Debao looked disdainful. He had no objection to Zhou Chen. He just saw that Zhou Chen lived a better life than him, lived better than him, and was praised many times by Tang Xiangyang and Lu Chuan, so he felt a little unhappy about something.
Lu Chuan and Tang Xiangyang didn't bother to talk to him. They all knew what kind of character Cao Debao was.
Soon, all the guests had arrived. Nowadays, there are no weddings or anything like that. After everyone arrived, Zhou Chen notified the chef to serve the food.
