That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 621 You Look Good in Everything
January 1, 1986, is the 21st day of the 11th month in the lunar year of the Ox (Yichou). Good days for: getting married, getting engaged, accepting marriage proposals, offering sacrifices, and praying. Unsuitable days for: opening a business, and burying people.

Before dawn, Li Ye was called by Wu Juying.

Today is Wen Guohua’s wedding day. It is a big event for Mr. Ke’s family and also for the Li family.

A month ago, Wen Qingsheng invited Li Kaijian's family to attend the wedding. The day before yesterday, Tian Leyu came again and informed Li Ye that he had to help his future brother-in-law Wen Guohua to welcome the bride this morning.

"Did you go to bed after washing your hair last night? Look at your hair, it's all sticky like weeds."

Wu Juying helped Li Ye put his clothes in order and combed his hair.

While combing her hair, she also reminded Li Ye: "Be careful not to speak too much when you go to meet the bride. If someone asks you who you are, just say you are Wen Guohua's friend. Never say you are her brother-in-law."

Li Ye smiled and said, "That's not easy to do. Xiaoyu wants to go with me to pick up the bride. When people see that we are a handsome man and a beautiful woman, they can guess it."

"No glib talk."

Grandma Wu Juying hit Li Ye lightly and said in a more serious tone: "You must be steady. There are so many people here today. How do you know what they think of you? Talk less. If no one asks you, just pretend to be dumb. Do you hear me?"

"I know, I know. I promise not to bring shame to Uncle Wen's family."

Li Ye pursed his lips, went out and drove away.

He knew what his grandmother Wu Juying meant. She wanted him to be more low-key and not do anything frivolous that would make people laugh at the Wen family's choice of a country son-in-law who was indeed not presentable.

Now the relationship between Li Ye and Wen Leyu is only one step away, so don't let anything unexpected happen at the last moment.

Li Ye drove to the gate of COFCO compound. It was still dark. He parked the car far away in a low-key manner and then walked over.

Li Ye felt that when people of Wen Guohua and Pan Xiaoying's status got married, it would not be popular to have a grand ceremony with a row of Mercedes-Benz and Land Rover cars, so Li Ye did not plan to drive this Santana in to make up the number.

After entering the COFCO compound, Li Ye saw several Volgas and several 130s, and he knew that his guess was correct.

Teacher Ke and Wen Qingsheng both drove Hongqi cars, but today Wen Guohua probably borrowed the car from his own unit to keep a low profile.

[Okay! My grandma helped me comb my hair into a beautiful side part, but it looks like it’s going to be messy in the wind.]

Li Ye only made an estimate and knew that he would most likely end up being treated like a 130 car driver.

Wen Guohua was chatting with his friends who came to help at the door of his house. Li Ye took a look and hardly recognized any of them. The only person he knew was Tan Qin.

"Brother, come and chat for a while."

When Wen Guohua saw Li Ye, he waved at him, but after Li Ye walked over with a smile, Wen Guohua frowned tightly.

"Hey, brother, go find Xiaoyu at home and ask her to help you change your clothes."

"."

Li Ye was stunned for a moment, and then he heard Tan Qin next to him laughing.

"Hahahaha, classmate Li Ye, your outfit today has made some people very dissatisfied. Why don't you go and change it?"

"Ha~"

Li Ye smiled and had to go find Wen Leyu.

When Wen Leyu saw Li Ye come in, he saw a few people chatting with Wen Qingsheng and Teacher Ke on the sofa. They were obviously friends who were close to the Wen family.

In front of so many people, Li Ye couldn't call him anything, so he smiled and said, "Uncle Wen, Brother Wen asked me to find Wen Leyu to get something."

"Go ahead! Xiaoyu is in her room!"

Wen Qingsheng smiled and waved his hand, letting him find it himself.

"Lao Wen, who is this young man?"

"Hey, guess!"

"Let me guess, that must be your son-in-law, right? I've heard that he's a handsome man, and it turns out he is..."

"How do you see me?"

"You have a good eye. He looks great in this outfit, not to mention his talent!"

"That's~"

Wen Qingsheng crossed his legs proudly. Compared to Pan Xiaoying, a daughter-in-law who was a good match for him, he actually felt that Li Ye was more to his liking.

In the 1980s, when the son-in-law party was prevalent, it was very prestigious to have a son-in-law who was presentable.

After Li Ye knocked on the door and entered Wen Leyu's room, the girl's eyes couldn't help but light up.

Then she thought of something and asked quietly, "What's wrong? Can't you chat with those people outside?"

Li Ye shook his head: "We haven't even started talking yet! Your brother asked me to come to you and change my clothes."

"Changing clothes?"

Wen Leyu was stunned for a moment, then pouted her lips and said angrily, "What's wrong with him? I came to help him, but he's still complaining about me?"

Decades later, it is a known rule that bridesmaids cannot steal the limelight from the bride, but no one has heard that best men cannot dress too handsomely. And today Li Ye did not dress up deliberately. He just took out new clothes that he rarely wore in his closet and put them on.

The reason why Wen Leyu pouted was that she knew that Wen Guohua complained that Li Ye's dress was too eye-catching today. But you, the groom, only know how to show off. Does that mean my boyfriend should serve as a foil for you?

A lot of friends are coming to my house today. Does that mean my partner has to dress up a little uglier to please you?
Li Ye said helplessly: "I really didn't think it through today. I didn't really want to steal your brother's limelight. Please help me change quickly! Otherwise, it will be bad if people mistake me for the groom when we pick up the bride later."

"Pfft~"

Wen Leyu couldn't help but laugh, and her pouting lips fell down.

Then Wen Leyu went to look for Wen Guohua's clothes, and after choosing for a long time, she finally picked out a Zhongshan suit that barely fit her.

But when Li Ye changed and went out, Wen Guohua frowned again.

Li Ye looked down and said depressedly: "This one is not good enough? The others are too big for me, and you are too tall."

In fact, Wen Guohua is only three or four centimeters taller than Li Ye, but Wen Leyu will definitely pick the one that he is most satisfied with. He just changed from the fashionable Daniel Wu to the Fist of Fury Chen Zhen, both of them are very handsome.

"Hahahaha~"

Tan Qin burst into laughter again, causing many people around to laugh as well.

Because of the conflict between Li Ye and Bao Er that had spread around, many people knew that Wen Leyu had a boyfriend from the countryside. Now looking at Li Ye's appearance, they all guessed who he was.

My brother-in-law was forced to change his clothes by his elder brother-in-law. This topic can probably be talked about for a while.

However, Li Ye did not feel embarrassed by the laughter of the crowd. Instead, he unbuttoned his clothes and took off his Zhongshan suit jacket.

Fortunately, there was a banquet today, so Li Ye did not wear the "commemorative edition" sweater knitted for him by Wen Leyu under his coat, otherwise it would probably cause another burst of laughter.

Wen Guohua's frown finally relaxed, and Li Ye, who was only wearing a sweater, finally got rid of most of his overwhelming handsomeness and turned into a sunny boy.

"I have to say, Li Ye, you look good in anything you wear."

"."

"Brother, this is the first time I've seen Lao Wen praise someone! Come on, let's talk."

"Brother, do you know me? I was the one who handled the heroic act you performed in Xiushui Street. It was a one-on-seventeen situation!

Well, I was not convinced at the time and thought he was just bragging! Later, Lao Wen caught me and had a stabbing match, and then I was convinced. I heard that you are better than him?"

When Li Ye started chatting enthusiastically with the people around him, he suddenly felt that he had misunderstood Wen Guohua.

Wen Guohua asked Li Ye to change his clothes, didn't it make him look different? Many of Wen Guohua's friends were meeting Li Ye for the first time, but after this joking process, didn't they become closer and started chatting?
[Don't look down on my brother-in-law. You are all far inferior to him. ]

"Let's go, it's time to pick up the bride, everyone get in the car!"

When the sky just got light, the wedding procession finally set off and headed towards Pan Xiaoying's home.

Today is a good day in the lunar calendar and it is also New Year's Day, so Li Ye stood on the 130 carriage and saw many wedding processions along the way.

However, most of the wedding processions are not transported by cars, but by bicycles.

Li Ye looked at a group of people pedaling their bicycles with great effort and joy, and felt that it was more exciting than the Audis of later generations.

Li Ye understood that today's working class brothers have not yet felt the oppression brought about by the gap between the rich and the poor, so their happiness index is still very high. In the words of the older generation, "having a stable job means no worries."

. . . . . . .

The bride-welcoming process was lively and smooth. The little sister who was blocking the door only persisted for a few minutes before opening the door. There was no scene of hiding shoes and asking for red envelopes.

The only surprise was that several bridesmaids on Pan Xiaoying's side were whispering to Pan Xiaoying and kept looking at Li Ye.

As a result, Pan Xiaoying's words made everyone lose their temper: "Don't you think about it, how can a handsome guy like him be single? He already has a boyfriend."

"."

After the bride was successfully brought back, Li Ye and Wen Leyu began to work together to prepare for the wedding banquet.

Although everything was kept simple at the moment, Wen Guohua and Ke Zhiyu were sitting there after all, and there were quite a few people coming to congratulate them, so just arranging the seating at the banquet was quite a headache.

Today, five people, Li Zhongfa, Wu Juying, Li Yue, Yang Yumin and Li Ye, came to the Li family and sat at a table with several guests from the north.

After talking with them, Li Zhongfa found out that these people were friends that Wen Qingsheng and Wen Guohua met a few years ago when they were living a hard time there. To some extent, they were of the same nature as Li Ye's family.

Wen Qingsheng also arranged for Director Ma to accompany the guests, whose personality and temperament were very compatible with the temperament of the guests at this table.

"After I got off the army, I worked in the transport team of my unit. Don't be fooled by my current position as director, but I am actually just like Uncle Li and Uncle Bao, we are all working people."

Director Ma is a manager in charge of transportation at COFCO. Although he says he is a working class person, after a brief chat Li Ye found out that this "transportation captain" is in charge of thousands of vehicles and thousands of people, and is definitely a powerful director-level official.

As everyone was chatting, Li Ye found out that Uncle Bao's youngest son would not go back after coming to the capital this time, and would be arranged to work as a worker in COFCO.

So it can be seen that Wen Qingsheng is a person who cherishes old times.
