After such a fuss, Duan Zetao and the others were no longer in the mood to go shopping. They hurriedly said goodbye to Xu Huaishan, Liu Chunhua and others, and returned to Duan Zetao's hometown.┏ _┓
Duan Zetao's hometown has also undergone tremendous changes in the past few years. The low mud houses in the past have disappeared. Now they are all beautiful brick buildings with ceramic tiles on the outer walls. The mud road into the village was donated by Duan Zetao.
A sum of money had already been spent to build a spacious and clean cement road. Originally, the villagers wanted to erect a monument at the intersection and name the road "Zetao Road". Duan Zetao firmly disagreed, so he named it "Hope Road".
It means that this is the promising road to making a fortune.
Now Duan Zetao has become the pride of the entire village. People in the village hold their heads high when they go out, saying "Secretary Duan is from our village!", and people from other villages also give him extra face when they see him.
As soon as Duan Zetao's car entered the village, many villagers greeted him along the way. Duan Zetao had to ask Hu Tielong to slow down and greeted the villagers along the way. When he met an older man, he had to stop the car and hand him a cigarette.
, said a few greetings, and told them about his marriage and asked them to come for a wedding banquet. It was a short journey, and it took him more than half an hour to get home.
After arriving home, her mother Zhang Guihua was overjoyed. She held Li Mei's hand and kept glancing at her slightly pregnant belly. The wrinkles at the corners of her eyes stretched out and blossomed into two beautiful chrysanthemums. Duan Zetao added another
I told Zhang Guihua about the wedding, and Zhang Guihua was so excited that she shed tears.
With tears in her eyes, she choked and said: "It's good to get married. Once you get married, you will truly start a family and start a business. If your father is still here, I don't know how happy I should be to see such a beautiful daughter-in-law..." After that, he quickly looked for money for incense candles.
, saying that he would offer incense to Duan Zetao’s father and tell him the good news.
Jiang Xiaoxue also came after a while. She is now a very busy person. She is responsible for the operation and management of the entire "Utopia" project. Currently, she has opened several new projects in Hengzhou and several nearby prefecture-level cities.
But no matter how busy she is, she will spend a few days every month to accompany Zhang Guihua. Her sister Duan Xiaoyan has also come back with Zhang Dali. Zhang Dali has now opened a building materials company and is doing business honestly. The family is also very prosperous.
I also bought a car and my life is very happy.
Jiang Xiaoxue looked very happy to see Li Mei. She put down her things and held her hand. The two walked to the side and chatted quietly, giggling from time to time. When her sister asked Duan Zetao why he came back empty-handed, Duan Zetao looked at him with a complicated look.
Jiang Xiaoxue glanced at him and told him the purpose of his trip.
Sister Duan Xiaoyan and brother-in-law Zhang Dali were also very happy. A trace of sorrow and loss flashed in Jiang Xiaoxue's eyes, and she turned around and said with a smile: "Okay, this must be done in a lively manner. Sister Mei is the daughter of the provincial party secretary."
, Zetao is now also at the deputy department level
I have become a cadre, but I can't lose face. Sister Xiaomei is pregnant and can't work hard. Zetao is a big man and can't take care of such trivial matters. The preparations for the wedding are left to me. I will talk to my colleague tomorrow about how to start from the company.
Deploy some manpower to help...".
Tan Hong also saw that Jiang Xiaoxue was a little uncomfortable, so he interrupted and said: "Xiaoxue, don't compete with me for business. I am the chief planner of this wedding..." Jiang Xiaoxue rolled her eyes at him and said: "
With your carefree personality, you are still the chief planner
Now, you have to be able to plan a wife for yourself first..." This hit Tan Hong's Achilles' heel. He touched his bald head and laughed awkwardly, and everyone was amused by his funny look.
Had to laugh out loud.
After dinner, the old party secretary from the village came with several old village cadres. Duan Zetao hurriedly greeted him, took out his cigarette and scattered it. The old party secretary took the cigarette and said with a smile: "Xiao Tao, I heard that you are getting married.
, you are the pride of our village
Ao, your wedding is also a big happy event in our village. We have discussed it. On the wedding day, the whole village will come to help you organize this big happy event. The running banquet, the pigs and sheep used for the wedding will all be provided by the village.
…”.
Duan Zetao quickly waved his hand and said: "Why are you bothering the folks? I won't accept any gifts for my wedding this time. Just bring your mouth."
The old party secretary straightened his face and pretended to be angry: "Why, you have forgotten your roots when you become a high official. I tell you, no matter how big an official you are outside, you have to listen to me in the village. That's all."
It’s settled, you are young and don’t understand many customs. I will be your steward, and you can just be the bridegroom..." Duan Zetao couldn't resist him, so he had no choice but to nod in agreement.
The elderly went to bed early, and their mother Zhang Guihua went to bed early. Her sister and brother-in-law went back to their old house. Tan Hong and Hu Tielong didn't want to be light bulbs and went back to the guest room to rest. Duan Zetao accompanied Jiang Xiaoxue and Li Mei on the second floor.
Watching TV in the living room
, the three of them didn’t speak, and the atmosphere was a bit weird. Suddenly Jiang Xiaoxue stood up and walked outside the balcony to get some air. Li Mei pushed Duan Zetao and said softly: "Go and stay with sister Xiaoxue, she is feeling miserable.
, I’m going to bed first…”.
Duan Zetao opened the door to the balcony. It was already winter, and the night wind was very cold. Jiang Xiaoxue had her arms folded in front of her chest. Her petite figure looked very bleak and lonely in the night. Duan Zetao felt his heart suddenly twitching, and his nose
The roots are a little sour and fell off.
The coat walked over, draped it over Jiang Xiaoxue's body, hugged her tightly with both arms from behind, and softly whispered in her ear with guilt: "Xiaoxue, I owe you too much, I will definitely be there for you."
I’ll have a grand wedding with you abroad…”.
Two lines of crystal tears fell from Jiang Xiaoxue's fair and smooth face. He sighed quietly and said: "Tao, I don't blame you. This is all fate. If it weren't for my parents' strong opposition, we would have been together sooner."
Just be together...".
Duan Zetao hugged Jiang Xiaoxue tightly. What else could he say to this girl who had selflessly sacrificed for him except that he vowed to protect her with his life? Suddenly Jiang Xiaoxue turned around suddenly, looked at Duan Zetao with burning eyes and said:
"Tao, I also want to give birth to a child for you. When you are not with me, let the child accompany me...".
That night, Jiang Xiaoxue completely abandoned the shyness of the past and acted particularly crazy. From time to time, she pressed Duan Zetao under her, galloping wildly like a dexterous white horse, with her long black silk hair undulating like waves. Duan Zetao repeatedly
The essence of life was sprayed out from the ground, and finally both of them exhausted their energy, hugged each other tightly and fell asleep...
The next day, Tong Debo also rushed over. He also brought two full trucks of necessary wedding items, and even took on the purchase of all items. In the next few days, despite the preparations for the wedding,
Being taken over by Tan Hong and others, Duan Zetao was not idle either. He went to pay homage to his father's grave, told his father's spirit in heaven about his marriage and Li Mei's pregnancy, and even went to distant relatives' homes to send invitations.
Post, wait.
On the day of the wedding, the whole village was in a festive mood. Red arches and colorful balls were erected from the entrance of the village, leading all the way to Duan Zetao's family's threshing floor. Every household was decorated with lights and colors, as if their own family was holding a wedding. Bo brought hundreds of red tents and lined them up. The villagers all moved out their Eight Immortals tables and set up a long row of running water mats.
Jiang Xiaoxue made very detailed arrangements, including special arrangements for parking spaces for vehicles. Not only all the villagers came, but also many villagers from neighboring villages came. There were crowds of people everywhere and it was very lively. Duan Zetao was dressed in black. The suit looked more and more upright, while Li Mei was wearing a long white wedding dress, which was charming and charming. The two stood together, holding a beautiful pair, which made the guests marvel.
According to the custom in Duan Zetao's hometown, the old party secretary specially arranged for an old gentleman with a loud voice to set up a welcome desk at the door. All distinguished guests who congratulated him would shout out loudly, so that it would appear that the host's family was respectable.
Many of Duan Zetao's college classmates came, including the eldest son Sun Liansheng, the fourth eldest brother Jiang Yunchuan, the seventh eldest son Zhou Yunbo and others all came from other places. It was natural for everyone to have a warm and affectionate time when they met. At this time, I heard the old man shouting from outside. Loud voices shouted: "Xu Huaishan, Secretary of the Xinghua Municipal Party Committee, and Liu Chunhua, Mayor of Xinghua City, congratulate you!".
The relationship between Xu Huaishan, Liu Chunhua and Duan Zetao is only average, especially when Liu Chunhua turned to Chu Lian when Duan Zetao resigned, which also left a grudge in the relationship between the two. He came to congratulate and also wanted to repair the relationship with Duan Zetao. This time Duan Zetao didn't notify them of his marriage, so they came too. Duan Zetao quickly apologized to his classmates and rushed out.
When Liu Chunhua saw Duan Zetao, he was still a little embarrassed. He cupped his hands and said: "Zetao, today is your happy day. I wish you a happy birthday. I am sorry for anything in the past...".
Duan Zetao chuckled and waved his hands and said: "Since we are here, we are friends, don't say anything, go sit upstairs..." Liu Chunhua was overjoyed, and just as he was about to speak, he heard another shout from outside: "Mayor of Xingning City Ji Mo, Xingning Army Division Commander Fang Li congratulated you!"
Since Duan Zetao was assigned to Tibet Province, he has had very little contact with Ji Mo and Fang Li. He was busy and did not have time to notify them of the wedding. He did not know where they got the news and rushed here. Duan Zetao hurriedly contacted Xu Huaishan. Liu Chunhua welcomed him out together...
From a distance, I heard Ji Mo's bold laughter: "Brother Zetao, you are not very interesting. You didn't even notify me of such a big happy event. I still want to be an uninvited guest..." Duan Zetao hurriedly said He confessed: "Brother Ji Mo, please forgive me, I was really too hasty in preparation and didn't even have time to notify many of my friends. It's really a blessing that Brother Ji Mo can come...".
Fang Li smiled mysteriously at Duan Zetao and whispered in his ear: "I'm here to call the front station. There will be distinguished guests arriving soon..." Duan Zetao was stunned for a moment. The mayor and the commander of the military division came to congratulate him. This is shocking enough, why are there any mysterious guests coming?
