The sun hung high in the sky and set on the figures below.
"Congratulations to both of you on your happy marriage, haha."
"Uncle Liu, thank you for coming to our wedding. Haha, Xiaobin, this is Minister Liu from the Ministry of Health."
"Director Wu, are you here? Please come in quickly. Let me introduce you. This is my lover. This is Director Wu from the National Development and Reform Commission."
"Haha, Aunt Chen, this is Xiaobin, Xiaobin, this is our cousin, and that in the distance is our cousin."
"Hey, Xiaomei is here too? I heard that your mother is hospitalized. I also said that I and Xiaobin should go over to see how auntie is doing?"
The yard was very lively.
Xie Huilan has lived in this kind of environment since she was a child. Whether she has been exposed to it or is used to it, she is more than enough to cope with this kind of scene, and she knows most of the people. However, Dong Xuebin is almost interesting. He has been with her for an hour.
Standing next to Xie Huilan and at the door, he greeted the guests one by one, sweating drop by drop, almost soaking his suit, and he was as tired as a grandson. Dong Xuebin had been mentally prepared and knew this kind of politics.
A wedding with a lot of meaning may be very tiring, but I didn't expect to be so tired, my throat is dry, and I don't even have time to go to the toilet. If you go to the toilet and the boss arrives outside, what should you do?
They would think that you don't pay attention to others, and even a small detail can complicate the relationship, so Dong Xuebin suffered the same sin.
People are still coming in one by one.
Dong Xuebin and Xie Huilan were waiting at the door. After the guests entered, Xie Guobang, Xie Guoliang, Han Jing and others were responsible for ushering them in.
Suddenly, Xie Jing walked up and said, "Sister, brother-in-law, the general secretary is here."
Dong Xuebin's expression became solemn, and he immediately became more energetic, and his palms became sweaty.
Xie Huilan was very calm, nodded and said "I understand", and continued to greet the guests with a smile on her face.
After a moment, the general secretary came over with a smile on his face.
This was the first time Dong Xuebin saw the General Secretary up close, and he couldn't help but feel nervous.
Xie Huilan immediately pulled Dong Xuebin forward a few steps to meet him, and the chatter behind him suddenly became much quieter.
The general secretary smiled and pointed at them, "Huilan, haha, okay, I haven't seen you for a few years, you are getting more and more beautiful, I can hardly recognize you."
Xie Huilan smiled gracefully and said, "General Secretary, you said I'm blushing."
"Are you still blushing? I haven't seen you blushing since you were sixteen years old. Haha, is this Xiao Dong?" The general secretary patted Dong Xuebin's shoulder lightly, "Heroes emerge from youth, young man is doing well.
of."
Dong Xuebin hurriedly said modestly.
The general secretary did not say much to them, and walked into the villa after congratulating them.
Over there, Mr. Xie walked out with the support of the health doctor and nodded to the General Secretary with a smile.
Upon seeing this, the General Secretary immediately rushed forward to greet him, stretched out his hand to support Mr. Xie, "Old man, why did you come out in person?"
Mr. Xie smiled and said, "Here you come? Sit inside."
The general secretary nodded with a smile and helped Mr. Xie in together.
No one was surprised when they saw it. Although the General Secretary is the supreme leader of the Republic, in terms of seniority, Mr. Xie is the same generation as the General Secretary’s father. The old man and his father are old comrades. After all, Mr. Xie is also the General Secretary.
As an elder, the General Secretary should also treat himself as a junior. In the power class of the Republic, there are basically few people who can be equal to Mr. Xie.
As soon as the General Secretary left, Dong Xuebin breathed a sigh of relief. Dong Xuebin was really flattered that the General Secretary could come to attend his and Huilan's wedding in person, but he also understood that the General Secretary was not giving them face, but giving Mr. Xie face.
, even most of the leaders present came here for Mr. Xie. As long as Mr. Xie is here, the Xie family will be as stable as Mount Tai. Dong Xuebin heard this from Huilan before, and now it seems that it is true.
Soon, the Prime Minister's wife also arrived.
Dong Xuebin raised his voice again and became more energetic.
The Prime Minister's wife first congratulated Dong Xuebin and Xie Huilan, and then said that the Prime Minister had some troubles, so she asked her to congratulate them on their behalf and gave them gifts.
Dong Xuebin naturally thanked him quickly.
Everyone has basically arrived and the wedding banquet has officially begun.
The General Secretary chatted and laughed with Mr. Xie for a while. After sending his blessings to Xie Huilan and Dong Xuebin again, he excused himself and went back. The General Secretary's time is precious, and it is obviously difficult for him to accompany him throughout the whole process. Besides, Xie Huilan is here.
The third generation of the Xie family is only the eldest sister, not the eldest grandson, so the attitudes of others will be slightly different, which is expected.
Xie Huilan and Dong Xuebin personally sent the General Secretary out.
Over there, the Prime Minister's wife did not leave, but chatted with Mr. Xie with a smile and paid attention to the old man's physical condition.
At this wedding banquet, Mr. Xie has a bigger role.
As soon as the dinner started, Dong Xuebin and Xie Huilan started to toast.
This kind of wedding is also a big test for drinking capacity. There is no other reason. At least there are leaders at the department level and above, and even leaders at the ministerial and deputy national levels. Of course, it is impossible to toast table by table.
That would be too disrespectful. You can only toast one by one. How many cups will so many people drink? You can’t even count them. Fortunately, Han Jing was prepared in advance and replaced the Moutai that Dong Xuebin and the others used to toast.
I drank boiled water. This is not disrespectful to others. The main reason is that no one has such a good drinking capacity. Even if the guests here know about it, they will not point it out.
Dong Xuebin and Xie Huilan first paid respect to their elders, Mr. Xie, Fourth Grandpa, Xie Guobang, Luan Xiaoping and others, and then went down to the table to toast.
"Minister Liu, we and my husband would like to propose a toast to you."
"Director Chen, I respect you for taking the time to come over despite your busy schedule."
"Aunt Liu, let's do it first as a token of respect. I know you don't have the ability to drink. Haha, you can do whatever you want while we do it."
Most of the words were spoken by Xie Huilan, while in Zhang Luo, Dong Xuebin echoed a few words at the right time, and then drank all the "wine" in the cup.
A cup of...
Five cups...
Ten cups...
While Dong Xuebin was smiling and talking politely to the guests, he clearly felt that his stomach was getting more and more bulging.
Even if it wasn't wine, drinking so much water would be enough to choke you.
My stomach was so swollen that it was almost bursting!
It turns out that getting married is so painful. If I had known it would be like this, why would I be so anxious?
Dong Xuebin complained in his heart, but when he saw his mother Luan Xiaoping happily drinking wine with her in-law Han Jing, Dong Xuebin had no complaints at all.
