In the next few days, Zhang Junping had a very relaxed life. Every day when he went to work, he would drink tea and chat with the heads of various departments.
Find Wu Xinping to discuss calligraphy, painting, and Chinese studies.
Wu Xinping didn't want to discuss this with Zhang Junping at all. When Zhang Junping came to discuss it with him on the first day, he was quite happy.
However, it didn't take long before Wu Xinping became numb.
Who among us is the master and who is the disciple?
When the master and his disciple discuss, shouldn't it be the master who teaches the disciple? Why is it the other way around?
Although the harvest was great, Wu Xinping was still unhappy.
I bought a watch last year.
Wu Xinping wanted to curse.
However, the other party is also his disciple, and scolding him is tantamount to scolding himself.
As a result, Wu Xinping became diligent. Every day when he went to work, he went to the company to order a meal, then went out to drink tea and chat with old friends, and brought back some calligraphy and painting works by the way.
The artist contracting plan of an art company can be said to be the core of the entire company's operation.
Now this core, under the guidance of Zhang Junping and the wisdom of everyone, has been initially improved.
And distributed to everyone in the business development department for study.
If anyone has questions or doesn't understand the artist signing plan, Zhang Junping will call him into the office to drink tea and chat until the other person understands.
Zhang Junping doesn't just sit around and chat with people for tea. This is a kind of instillation of ideas. Through drinking tea and chatting, he instills his own ideas into the other person.
During the Republic of China and at the end of the Republic of China, why were we able to achieve final victory even though our equipment was far behind our opponents?
It depends on the concept!
Everyone has a strong idea behind them.
"*** Thought" is our philosophy.
Zhang Junping is now instilling a concept in everyone, which belongs to the future development concept of art companies.
The future of the art company he outlined is so grand that he alone is simply not enough to support such a huge company.
Therefore, he has to select and train comrades.
Drinking tea and chatting, in addition to instilling one's own ideas, also has another meaning, that is, selecting future comrades. If you approve it, everyone will fight side by side to create glory and share the future; if you don't approve it, then I'm sorry and stay cool.
go.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it’s the day of Zhang Junping’s wedding.
Two days before the wedding, Zhang Junan came with his wife and children, and Zhang Lihong also brought her son over.
Not only them, but Zhang Junping’s grandfather, grandmother, and uncle’s family also came over.
One of the ways in which mother-in-law is older than mother-in-law is that at weddings, mother-in-law is one of the most important guests.
It would be a very shameful thing to get married without an uncle, unless there is no uncle.
Therefore, Zhang Junping drove early to pick up his grandparents and uncle.
Anyway, the place at home is large, and my grandpa and his family can live comfortably there.
On the first day of their wedding, Xu Shaomin and Ye Lihua took their children to the Dashilar Courtyard.
Zhang Junping had no brother, so Xu Shaomin and Ye Lihua came over to help Zhang Junping make the bed and fold the quilt.
Then I asked my nephews Tiedan and Liuwa to get on the bed and press them, which was actually rolling on the bed.
This job, Tiedan, Liuwa likes to do the most. Rolling on the uncle's bed is the most comfortable.
This also symbolizes the wish to have a son.
If you study carefully, you will find that the custom of marriage contains a lot of patriarchal ideas.
However, it is now 1979, and there are really not so many customs about getting married.
The next day, Zhang Junping and a group of his comrades rode bicycles to the city government compound to pick up the bride.
Picking up the bride on a bicycle is a characteristic of this era.
Call two or three friends, each with a bicycle. The groom will carry the bride, and the friends will carry the dowry on their bicycles.
In this era, dowries were usually very simple, just one or two packages.
If it can be accompanied by a quilt and a mattress, it is considered a very good dowry.
When they arrived at the door of the city government compound, Qiu Wenlong was already waiting for them at the door.
The city government compound is no better than the district committee compound. It is heavily guarded, with armed police standing guard at the door with guns drawn.
If Qiu Wenlong doesn't come to pick him up, Zhang Junping can get in, but his comrades can't.
Qiu Wenyan's family now lives in a two-story Western-style building with a garden in front of and behind the building.
Zhang Junping and his party entered the yard, and there were many neighbors standing in the yard to watch the excitement.
Although these neighbors are not ordinary, and they are all people whose stamping of feet can make the city tremble, they still do not prevent them from watching the fun.
The mind of gossip does not distinguish between men, women, old or young, nor does it distinguish between high and low.
Zhang Junping came to the front of the small building with familiarity, and the door was closed.
Stopping the bride and calling the door may be one of the few remaining wedding customs.
Zhang Junping stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"Dad, Mom! I'm here to take Yanzi home!" Zhang Junping shouted while knocking on the door.
There was no response from inside.
Zhang Junping glanced at Qiu Wenlong standing next to him.
Qiu Wenlong made a helpless expression at him.
Zhang Junping had no choice but to shout again.
"Third brother-in-law, it's not that easy to get in.
Don't say I'm bullying you, just sing a song to my third sister!
I heard that when you first met your third sister, you sang a song to her.
If you sing another song, it must be something none of us have heard before.
As long as you satisfy us, I will open the door for you!" The voice of my sister-in-law came from the room.
"Okay! No problem!" Zhang Junping smiled.
Isn’t it just singing? It’s so simple.
"The warm spring flowers bloom and take away the sadness of winter.
The breeze brings a romantic atmosphere
Every love song is suddenly full of meaning
I suddenly saw you at this moment
…………
listen to me
Walk hand in hand with me
Create a happy life
You were too late yesterday
It will be a pity tomorrow
Will you marry me today?"
Jolin Tsai's "Today You Will Marry Me" is definitely a nuclear bomb-level love song in this era.
This is also the most commonly used song at weddings in later generations.
Because the singing is beautiful, there is no explicit love, only unpretentious lyrics and warm melody.
The song moved everyone. Many unmarried girls had the urge to get married the moment they listened to the song.
Inside the house, Qiu Wenyan was even more cautious, almost rushing over to open the door, and then followed Zhang Junping home.
Be his bride.
As a result, he was ruthlessly suppressed by Qiu Wenyu.
Qiu Wenyu, who was full of jealousy, told Qiu Wenling that one song was not sincere enough, so she had to do another one.
"Third brother-in-law, after everyone's vote, it has been agreed that you must sing two more songs. You said it yourself, three threes make nine, nine nines return to one." Qiu Wenling's voice came from inside.
Zhang Junping smiled bitterly, could he still explain it this way?
"Lingling! It doesn't matter if I sing! It's just three songs! There's no problem in singing the Nine Capitals.
It’s just that singing consumes brain cells. If I sing a love song to your sister, I won’t be able to write songs for you in the future.” Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"That won't work!" The door opened and Qiu Wenling stuck her head out and shouted.
"Hahaha!" Zhang Junping stretched out his hand and pressed the door panel.
"You stupid girl!" Qiu Wenyu cursed, covering her face.
Unfortunately, it was too late to scold him anymore. Zhang Junping had already done a forward somersault, jumped over Qiu Wenling's head, and entered the house.
Only a group of people outside were left with their mouths wide open in shock.
The son-in-law of the old Qiu family is amazing!
Able in literature and martial arts.
"Dad, Mom! I'm here to pick up Yanzi! Please don't worry, I will treat Yanzi well and won't let her be wronged." Zhang Junping promised while kneeling in front of Father Qiu and Mother Qiu.
"Okay!" Father Qiu didn't say much, just nodded slightly.
"Good boy, Mom believes in you. You couple should unite and live a good life. If Yanzi does anything wrong, tell Mom and she will teach her a lesson!" Qiu's mother said, wiping her tears.
Although Zhang Junping and Qiu Wenyan had already registered and were mentally prepared, when it came time to get married, Qiu's father and Qiu's mother still couldn't control their reluctance.
"Mom and Dad, Yanzi and I will visit you often in the future!" Zhang Junping comforted.
"Okay, okay!" Mother Qiu wiped away her tears and stood up to make some noodles.
While the noodles were cooking, Mother Qiu couldn't help but shed tears into the pot.
This is called Li Niang Noodles.
Marriage customs of northerners.
After cooking the noodles, Qiu's mother took the bowl and fed it to Qiu Wenyan one by one, her tears falling into the bowl.
"Mom, didn't we agree not to cry? Since we are close, I can come back to see you often." Qiu Wenyan said as her tears dripped down her cheeks and into the bowl, mixing with Qiu's mother's tears.
Eating Li Niang Noodles means growing up and becoming a member of other people's family.
This has nothing to do with distance.
Zhang Junping could only watch silently and couldn't help humming in a low voice.
"The swallows are about to leave the nest when they grow up.
My daughter is getting married when she grows up
Wearing a wedding dress and hairdo
Wave goodbye to mom and dad
The seedlings are connected to the melons for thousands of miles
How many things are on my mind that I can’t let go of
…
Oh, mom and dad
I'm getting married today
I don't want to be the one who pours out the water
I'm still not a flower in the house
………”
One of Zhang Junping's songs made Qiu's mother and Qiu Wenyan burst into tears.
Qiu Wenyu and Qiu Wenling even burst into tears.
Even Father Qiu couldn't help but turn around and wipe his tears.
"Brother-in-law, are you sincere? My mother was a little sad to begin with, but you deliberately sang such a sad song!
If today wasn't your wedding day, I would have to beat you up." Qiu Jianguo shouted loudly.
Qiu Jianguo's words, although a little out of tune, pulled everyone out of the sad atmosphere.
"What did you say, kid?" Mother Qiu complained with a tearful smile.
Finally, I am no longer sad.
Help Qiu Wenyan wash her face again and clean up neatly.
Thanks to this era, women only need to put on some facial oil to put on makeup, which would be really troublesome in future generations.
When I cry like this, all the makeup on my face is gone.
Zhang Junping took Qiu Wenyan and kowtowed to his father and mother Qiu to say goodbye.
When I leave, I have to take the mother-in-law’s meat with me.
While chopping the meat, Mother Qiu couldn't help but her eyes turned red and she needed to cry.
This knife cuts into the flesh and hurts in my heart.
Children are all meat that fell from their mother’s body.
When you leave your mother's meat, you take away your father's and mother's heart.
Finally, Qiu Wenyan was taken out, and Zhang Junping left Qiu's house with Qiu Wenyan on his back on his bicycle.
"Pingzi!" Qiu Wenyan hugged Zhang Junping's waist and shouted softly.
"Um?"
"Sing that song again!"
"Which one?"
"That's what you sang at the door!"
"good!"
…
listen to me
Walk hand in hand with me
Live a stable life
You were too late yesterday
It will be a pity tomorrow
Today you are going to marry me
…
Zhang Junping sang songs all the way and rode his bicycle quickly back to the Dashilar Courtyard.
"The bride is here!
The bride is here..." A naughty child was shouting quickly at the door and ran into the courtyard to report the news.
Parking his bicycle at the door, Zhang Junping took Qiu Wenyan's hand and walked into the yard.
As she stepped towards the door of the courtyard, Qiu Wenyan became a little uneasy.
Qiu Wenyan has been to this courtyard many times, but this time is different. From now on, she will officially become the mistress of this courtyard.
When getting married in this era, there are no customary rituals such as worshiping the heaven and the earth, worshiping the high hall, or worshiping each other.
After Zhang Junping and Qiu Wenyan kowtow to Zhang's father and Zhang's mother and receive red envelopes, they have completed their wedding ceremony.
Then Zhang Junping took Qiu Wenyan to kowtow to his grandfather, grandma, and uncle, and receive red envelopes.
Finally, I kowtow to my master and my wife and receive a red envelope.
You can't kowtow in vain, you must have red envelopes.
For the remaining relatives and friends, it was considered a courtesy for Qiu Wenyan to light a cigarette for them.
Then sprinkle a few handfuls of wedding candies in the yard to fulfill the naughty child's wish.
After a lively moment, everyone went out to the restaurant together.
In this era, people who get married don't go to restaurants to hold weddings. Basically, they set up a few tables at home, or in the canteen of their work.
Zhang Junping has set a precedent.
Today, Zhiweizhai is closed to the public. The third floor and the backyard are all filled with friends who came to congratulate us.
From this we can see how many relationships Zhang Junping has had over the years.
Zhang's father and Zhang's mother toasted, Zhang Junping and Qiu Wenyan toasted, and thanked the cook.
Then Zhang Junping took Qiu Wenyan back to a box in the backyard.
The people in this box are Zhang's father, Zhang's mother, grandma and grandpa, and Wu Xinping, all of whom are elders.
"Pingzi, Yanzi, you must be hungry! Sit down and have something to eat!" Seeing Zhang Junping and Qiu Wenyan come in, grandma held Qiu Wenyan's hand and said distressedly.
"I'm really a little hungry. Getting married is really tiring." Zhang Junping took his seat with a smile, then unceremoniously picked up his chopsticks and started eating. After taking a few bites, he said again: "Getting married now is so tiring.
In the past, if we got married according to the old etiquette, we wouldn’t have tortured people to death!”
"Child, don't talk nonsense today on this special day!" Grandma hit Zhang Junping lightly and blamed him for talking nonsense, which was unlucky.
"I'm tired of getting married. I just want to tell you that marriage is not easy and you should cherish it." Wu Xinping said with a smile.
After eating something, Zhang Junping and Qiu Wenyan hurried out and went to the door to see off the guests.
After a lot of trouble, the guests were finally sent away.
Those who haven't left yet are waiting to go back to the wedding ceremony later.
In this era, the wedding ceremony is still relatively subtle, that is, the bride is asked to light a cigarette, and when lighting the cigarette, the fire is deliberately blown out so that the bride can light it again and again.
The most outrageous thing is to ask the bride to peel off the candy and stuff it into her mouth.
However, what they met was Qiu Wenyan, who generously peeled off the candy, stuffed a piece into each person's mouth, and said: "Here, sister-in-law will feed you candy."
It directly made several people preparing for the wedding blush.
Zhang Junping watched happily.
Qiu Wenyan is the daughter-in-law she trained herself. How can you keep your daughter-in-law with such little tricks?
There won't be any trouble in the wedding room at the back.
A group of people were chatting and laughing in the new house, very harmonious.
After talking for a while, everyone left one after another.
If you don't leave, it won't look good. Are you planning to stay for dinner tonight?
In this era when everyone is not rich, those who drink wedding wine and help only have one meal. Anyone who eats two meals at someone else's house is ignorant.
In the evening, the family gathered together to have dinner, and Zhang Junping took Qiu Wenyan back to the central courtyard.
He couldn't wait any longer.
It's a night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber, and the waiting time is not short.
Qiu Wenyan sat on the bed, her face flushed, and she clenched her fists nervously.
Although she had been honest with Zhang Junping a long time ago, she knew that she couldn't do it tonight.
"Daughter-in-law, it's getting late, let's wash up and go to bed!" Zhang Junping took out a set of clean bath towels from the closet and handed them to Qiu Wenyan, saying with a smile.
"Why did you give me this?" Qiu Wenyan said blankly, holding the bath towel.
"Let's take a shower! How about we take a shower together?" Zhang Junping said with a smile.
Only then did Qiu Wenyan remember that this was not her parents' home.
She had lived here for several days before, so she naturally knew the new tricks Zhang Junping was up to.
Next to the bedroom is the bathroom, which is also heated. You can take a shower directly in the bathroom without being cold at all.
"Virtue!" Seeing Zhang Junping's mean look, Qiu Wenyan forgot her nervousness and rolled her eyes at him.
I took a bath towel and entered the bathroom.
Zhang Junping turned around, opened the door, and shouted outside: "Anzi, if you want to be beaten, just say it and I will do it for you!"
"Ah! No, I didn't! I was just passing by!" Zhang Junan was startled and hurriedly ran out from the shadow of the tree.
Also accompanying him were Zhao Yuzhi and his sister Zhang Lihong.
It seems that he is usually too kind to them, but he actually dares to eavesdrop on the corner.
Because it is a private house, you don't have to worry about outsiders coming to listen to the bed.
But there is also a house thief.
When they were just having dinner, Zhang Junan and Zhang Lihong winked at each other, and Zhang Junping knew that the younger siblings had no good intentions.
When Zhang Junping exploded, Zhang Junan and Zhang Lihong were blown up.
After chasing away a few people, Zhang Junping returned to the house, hurriedly took off his clothes and got into the bathroom.
"Ah! Why did you get in? Get out quickly!"
"Let me rub your back!"
After taking a bath for more than half an hour, Zhang Junping returned to the house holding the limp Qiu Wenyan.
He threw Qiu Wenyan on the bed and jumped on him.
On the wedding night, here I come.
The next day, Zhang Junping and Qiu Wenyan slept until about eight o'clock in the morning.
After getting dressed, she took Qiu Wenyan, who had some difficulty walking, to the backyard, kowtowed to Father Zhang and served tea to Zhang's mother.
Seeing Qiu Wenyan's walking posture, Zhang's mother was stunned for a moment, then she pulled Qiu Wenyan to her side with a smile and spoke thoughtful words.
After getting married, Zhang Junping took three days off. During these three days, he didn't go anywhere except back to his home.
Just stay at home.
There is no better place to go than to stay at home with your beautiful daughter-in-law.
