Chapter 703: Chapter 482: Full Line Cleanup!
Labor Day on May 1st grants only one day off.
If you don’t work in the Party and governnt organs or public institutions, the concept of having a day off doesn’t apply.
However, for Xiao Yu and Yu Zhen, the wedding banquet had to be arranged on a public holiday, otherwise, local leaders and colleagues wouldn’t be able to attend.
The wedding banquet was set at the Linghai Hotel, with table reservations, wedding candies, and drinks all managed by Lin Xiaohui and Liu Xiaoi.
Since they were going back to their hotown to get married, they had to follow the local customs. They couldn’t sleep together the night before, Yu Zhen stayed at the shipping company’s dormitory, and Xiao Yu had to honestly stay at his own place.
When a good brother gets married, Han Yu has to pitch in, too.
Last night he had arranged for Dongdong to warm the bed for Xiao Yu, and today he, Big Brother, Second Brother, Zhang Erxiao, Chen Zikun, Ma Jintao, and Liu Xiaoi’s fiancé Jiang Bin, as well as Xu Haoran who rushed back from Yan Yang to attend the wedding banquet, all went to Xiao Yu’s house early.
Under the arrangent of Li Weiguo, Old Qian, matchmaker Captain Fan, Old Zhang, Old Ding, and Director Ge, along with the elders, they had morning tea and loaded two sedans from Huii Clothing Co., Ltd and Longgang Rice Industry with the bridal gifts prepared according to Linghai customs to accompany Xiao Yu to the shipping company dormitory to pick up the bride.
Seven people went, and eight returned with the bride, all paired up.
Years ago, when helping Big Brother to pick up Sister Zhang Lan, Big Brother’s cousin was the "spokesperson" for the wedding convoy. Today, helping Xiao Yu with the bridal pick-up, Han Yu naturally took on the role of "spokesperson."
Old Qian was afraid of Han Yu making any mistake and wrote a two-page list of things to pay attention to.
What to do when they arrived sowhere, what to say when eting soone, the instructions were very clear. Han Yu did not disappoint Old Qian and followed the process exactly.
They had tea before setting out from Xiao Yu’s place.
Continued to have tea after reaching the shipping company dormitory.
Had lunch less than an hour after tea.
After lunch, they waited for the bride and groom to finish worshipping the Buddhas under the supervision of an elder from the bride’s family, then headed back to Bailong Port, only to find that they had to have another al according to traditional rules.
Waiting for Xiao Yu to drive the Buick he just bought with Zhang Erxiao, to accompany Yu Zhen on her bridal return visit, all the friends and relatives had arrived at Linghai Hotel. Facing the delicious feast on the table, Han Yu had no appetite left at all, having eaten so many als that he couldn’t eat another bite.
Xiao Yu’s parents couldn’t return from Hanwu where they were taking care of their clothing wholesale business. Like before, Li Weiguo and Old Qian beca the most important male elders.
Director Ge was a bit over the top, bustling about as if he was self-styled to be an elder of the groom.
Just because he was to keep the Master’s wife company, did he think he beca the Master by staying in the sa dormitory with her?
This bothered Han Yu and the Big Brother, but considering that Old Ge was once a prominent figure in Linghai and could give face to Xiao Yu’s family, they decided not to take issue with it.
Moreover, neither Brother Haoran nor Sister-in-law Xiao Qin objected and were quite pleased to see him and the Master’s wife getting along happily. What could the two disciples say...
In fact, although Xiao Yu’s family did not have many relatives, Xiao Yu had an old workplace and old leaders, even many high-ranking elders, and did not need Old Ge to give face at all.
Vice Mayor and Police Chief Yu Xiangqian of Suqian City, along with Director Zhang Junyan from the Changhang Jiangcheng Branch, made a special trip back.
Director He of the Changhang Binjiang Branch ca.
Sister Zhu from the Port Supervision Bureau and Deputy Director Zeng from Customs also ca.
Deputy Mayor Shen had been treated generously by Xiao Yu and Yu Zhen on a previous trip to Hanwu. He returned to the city during the day to be with his family and rushed over in the afternoon specifically to attend Xiao Yu’s wedding banquet.
Suddenly having so many leaders appear, Deputy Mayor Shen and Linghai Police Director Zhou Huixin beca hosts on the spot, keeping company with Li Weiguo and Old Ge.
When Han Yu and Han Xiangning got married, they had invited Chairman Qian of the Port Authority to officiate, and his hosting style left a deep impression on both Yu Xiangqian and Zhang Junyan. This ti, upon their strong recomndation, Chairman Qian was requested to officiate again.
Chairman Qian not only hosted the wedding with humor and wit but also kept up with the tis.
He cleverly linked Xiao Yu and Yu Zhen’s happy union with the upcoming return of Hong Kong and the imminent convening of the 15th Party Congress, earning waves of prolonged applause.
With a presider and MC, there couldn’t be no one to witness the marriage.
They originally planned to have the "Big Fish Bureau" to witness the wedding, but "Big Fish Bureau" politely declined.
Feeling unqualified himself, even "Big Fish Bureau" didn’t take the stage to witness the wedding, leaving the Master’s wife, encouraged and motivated by everyone, with no choice but to bravely go on stage and read the wedding vows written by Han Xiangning.
As for Old Ge, he was put to the side, and it was already giving him a lot of face to let him sit at the main table with the Master’s wife.
Entering the segnt where the bride and groom showcase their talents, Xiao Yu gave a stunning performance.
He sang "Jiu i" almost as well as the original, and under popular demand, he followed up with four more hits like "Only You in My Eyes" and "Overstepping".
Right when Han Yu and the guests were applauding, Chairman Qian unexpectedly invited him and his senior to go on stage, insisting they sing a song with the newlyweds.
Xiao Yu and Yu Zhen, knowing that "Salted Fish" didn’t know many songs, took the initiative to suggest "We Grow Up to Be You
