The booming era begins with the director of the Propaganda Department!

Chapter 271 Do it together? ?
"You only get married once in your life, can't you be less hasty?" Zhang Shenfei couldn't help but retort to Siyan'er.

This guy is good in every way except that he is always tedious and wastes his energy. For example, his marriage with Wen Ruanruan, they are obviously a perfect match, but he always makes himself look like a victim, which is annoying.

"You're so unlucky, and Wenruanruan is your poverty alleviation! Why can't you give her a grand wedding?" Li Youbing spat on the ground.

Well, after being criticized by several brothers in unison, Siyan was completely speechless.

Now that we have dealt with the four eyes, the rest of the process will be much simpler.

Zhang Shenfei asked Tian Xiaozao to take the neighbor's widow, Grandma Zhang, and Tang Danniu to decorate the wedding scene together.

Before, Siyan, Fatty and Li Youbing slept on the same kang. Because Siyan got married, a room was specially prepared for him.

Grandma Zhang directed Tian Xiaozao and the others to take action, covering the kang with a brand new bed sheet with pink peony flowers, and covering the pillows that had been dried in the sun in advance with red Double Happiness pillowcases.

These things are very common in later generations, but in this era they attracted the envy of many neighbors.

“These sheets are so nice!!”

"They are all brand new!!! I'll be satisfied if I can have one of them when I get married."

"Ren Siyaner is now working in a transportation company and has this condition!!!"

"A transportation company and a meat processing plant, this is a powerful combination."

"Hey, doesn't Old Liu have a grudge against their family? Why are you here to give gifts?"

"Need I say more? Wen Ruanruan can get people into the water without tickets, and Siyan can help buy food from other places. Shouldn't Old Liu curry favor with them?"

Everyone was muttering.

Everyone has a scale in their heart. In times of material scarcity, those who can obtain materials will be the objects of flattery and wooing by everyone.

So when Siyan'er got married this time, people from the surrounding alleys, both familiar and unfamiliar with their family, all came.

Everyone gathered together to discuss how much gift money you should give and how much I should give.

Zhang Shenfei and the others did not hear the little plans of the people in the room.

The four of them pushed the decorated bicycles to the next door. When they arrived, Qin Huairu and Xu Huizhen blocked the door and refused to let them in. They asked Siyan to sing, Fatty to dance, and Zhang Shenfei to perform push-ups.

After everyone made a fuss for a while, Zhang Shenfei did 200 one-handed push-ups, shocking all the female comrades in the room, and then Siyan finally picked up the bride.

Wen Ruanruan was wearing a brand new Lenin suit today. The big braid she used to wear was now tied up into a big bun at the back of her head with a red velvet flower inserted on it.

Her face was specially opened with fine cotton thread by someone, and then she applied a light layer of powder and dyed her lips red, making her lips look rosy and her teeth white.

The soft and gentle style is quite simple compared with the brides in later generations who wore Xiuhe clothes and wedding dresses.

But Zhang Shenfei saw it and felt that this design, which revealed the flavor of the times, was also quite festive.

Although Siyaner and Wenruanruan grew up together, this was the first time he saw her put on makeup. For a moment, he felt his heart beating non-stop.

This feels so strange... Is spring coming?

Seeing him like this, Zhang Shenfei couldn't help but tease him: "What's the matter, brother? Are you stunned? Now you know that our Ruanruan is good, right?"

Siyan came back to his senses and said stubbornly: "What's the good? Isn't he still the same? Like a big fool."

"You are just a cooked duck, just talking nonsense!" Zhang Shenfei said as he pushed him and said, "Hurry up and carry your bride out."

What the hell? ? Hug warm and soft? ? ? Siyan was a little timid and his legs were weak.

Although Wenruanruan is tall, she is not fat. She is over 1.8 meters tall and weighs only 150 kilograms.

If it were an ordinary man, it would be a piece of cake for him to take her away.

But Siyan was short, less than 1.7 meters tall, looked like a stick, and had little strength.

To be honest, they both used Q multiplication on the kang. Now let him hold her softly? ? ?
Seeing Siyan'er looking at Wen Ruanruan in embarrassment, Zhang Shenfei crossed his arms and smiled: "What's the matter, brother? Can you do it? If not, brother, I will help you hold it."

As he said this, he rolled up his sleeves, looking eager to try.

"I can do it too! I used to carry big buns when I opened the shop before, so I have experience!" The fat man also laughed, but before he could finish laughing, he was hit on the head by Wotou's face.

"I'm not bad either. Soft girl, just choose one among the three of us." Li Youbing grinned.

It's not only a joke for Siyan, but also a joke for Fatty. After laughing, I feel aggrieved. Damn it, four brothers and only one of them has no partner! !

"Go to hell!!! Does my wife need you to hold her?" Siyaner gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and carried Wenruanruan on his shoulders as if she were carrying food.

Although the posture was not very elegant, at least he managed to carry Wen Ruanruan to the side of the bicycle.

Siyan was panting with exhaustion as he carried Wen Ruanruan, Fatty carried Wotouer, Li Youbing carried Xu Huizhen, and Zhang Shenfei carried Qin Huairu.

Eight people rode four bicycles all the way along Gulou East Street, attracting countless eyes along the way.

The fat man pedaled his bicycle very fast, imagining that there were big red flowers hanging on his bicycle and his sweetheart was sitting on the back.

If you round it up, isn't this the same as getting married by yourself???
Qin Huairu grew up in Changping since she was a child. That place used to belong to Beihe Province. It was only assigned to Sijiu City last year, but to this day, it is still considered a real rural area.

The village girl married into a courtyard house, which was considered to be marrying into a wealthy family. But even though she had been married to Jia Dongxu for so many years and had two children.

Today was her first time riding a bicycle.

Sitting in the car, the warm winter sun shining on her face and feeling the envious eyes of passers-by, Qin Huairu felt mixed emotions.

She still remembered that when she first came to Siheyuan for a blind date with Jia Dongxu, she met Zhang Shenfei.

At that time, she was stunned by the other party's handsomeness. At that moment, the uneducated girl understood the meaning of spring love without any instruction.

After meeting Zhang Shenfei, she was never satisfied when she met Jia Dongxu again, and she was restless during the blind date.

After realizing that she was just lusting after Zhang Shenfei's body, she even pretended to go to the bathroom and secretly ran to the backyard, hoping to see him again and convince him to marry her.

Who knew that after arriving at the backyard, I heard the second aunt and the deaf old lady discussing Zhang Shenfei behind his back, saying that he was a useless alley urchin...

The temptation of marrying into the city and living a good life was too great for Qin Huairu. At that moment, she restrained her love for Zhang Shenfei, returned to the central courtyard, and agreed to Jia Dongxu's marriage.

She did not mention the failed attempt to sacrifice herself to anyone, and no one knew about it except Qin Huairu herself.

Over the years, she has always coveted Zhang Shenfei's body, and even fantasized countless times that if Zhang Shenfei treated her like Sha Zhu treated her, they would probably have been married long ago.

But fantasy is always fantasy...

Unless Jia Dongxu died and she became a widow, otherwise... the two of them would never have a chance.

Sitting on the back seat of Zhang Shenfei's bicycle and looking at his broad figure, Qin Huairu once again resented the second aunt and the deaf old lady in her heart.

Because of Wen Ruanruan, Xu Huizhen is familiar with Zhang Shenfei's friends. In addition, she runs a tavern business, so her emotional intelligence is relatively high.

Now sitting in Li Youbing's car, he was quietly inquiring about the relationship between Qin Huairu and Zhang Shenfei.

When he heard that these two people were just neighbors, a strange look flashed in his eyes.

Not knowing what she was thinking of, she looked at Qin Huairu deeply again.

……

After riding for a long time, they returned to Heizhima Hutong. As soon as the bicycles entered the hutong, the sound of firecrackers rang out. The air was immediately filled with a familiar smell of gunpowder.

A group of boys surrounded the firecrackers, waiting to pick up the duds.

After entering the era of planned economy, weddings have become much simpler than before.

When the newlyweds entered the house, they first bowed to the photos of the top leader and the general manager, and then bowed again to the elders of Wen Runrun's family.

Finally, bow to the guests and the ceremony is over.

Due to insufficient food supply, few couples held wedding banquets. Instead, most of them served mutton noodle soup, noodles with gravy, or stewed vegetables with steamed buns instead.

There was still wedding candy, but only two per person. There was no other way, candy was now a luxury item, and the candy tickets were sold at a very high premium on the black market.

Siyan'er's wedding meal was noodles with egg gravy, and according to reason, Shazhu was the chef. Before the meal was ready, everyone chatted and ate candy in the bridal chamber.

Zhang Shenfei took a piece of red shrimp cake and stuffed it into Tian Xiaozao's mouth. The two smiled at each other.

Li Youbing, who was standing by, saw this and immediately started shouting, "Brother Dafei, what do you think of Siyan'er getting married? Tell us what you think."

"What ideas could I have about Siyan'er getting married? Even if I did, would Siyaner agree?" Zhang Shenfei grinned.

"Get lost." Seeing him start playing the cymbals again, Siyan'er was speechless, "Does Li Youbing mean that you don't plan to get married?"

"That's right! You and our Zao'er have been together for so many years, isn't it time to give her an explanation?" Tang Danniu joined in the fun.

"Brother, you haven't had enough wedding candy today! Qing is waiting for you."

"Brother Dafei is the section chief. He has a ration of one pound of sugar every month..."

"You're almost an adult, why don't you get married???"

A group of people started to make a fuss, and even the bride Wen Ruanruan came over to force the marriage.

Getting married? Zhang Shenfei looked at Tian Xiaozao, whose face had already turned into a lotus flower due to shame.

"Director Tian, ​​what do you think?" Zhang Shenfei smiled evilly, "Do you want to get married?"

"I...why are you asking me?" Tian Xiaozao covered her face and spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito.

I feel so embarrassed in front of so many people.

Zhang Shenfei laughed again: "How refreshing! I want to marry you, who else should I ask?"

"I, I do..." Tian Xiaozao's voice became even softer, but everyone who should have heard it heard it.

"Good, good, good. I'm going to have a granddaughter-in-law soon!!" Grandma Zhang slapped her thigh with joy.

"Zao'er, from now on we will be real sisters-in-law." Tang Danniu also laughed.

When eating,
Xu Damao came up to Zhang Shenfei with a big bowl of noodles and said, "Brother Dafei, when are you and Director Tian going to hold your wedding???"

Zhang Shenfei was enjoying a mouthful of garlic and noodles. When he heard Xu Damao's words, he swallowed the noodles in his mouth: "The sooner the better, while there are fewer things to do in the neighborhood committee before the New Year... Why are you asking this?"

Xu Damao also slurped a mouthful of noodles: "Aren't Liu Lan and I also planning to get married? I was thinking, why don't we do it together?"

Zhang Shenfei glanced at him and asked, "Why do we have to go together?"

He and Xu Damao grew up in the same alley and worked in the same unit, so there were always some conflicts among the guests they invited.

Xu Damao chuckled: "It's more fun when there are more people."

Zhang Shenfei: "Tell the truth."

"Well, I can't hide anything from you." Xu Damao scratched his head, "Actually, I was thinking that we just happened to be in time, and if we do it together, it will be more lively with more people.

On the other hand, we can also get our two families together and hold a wedding banquet..."

Because of the food rationing problem these days, not many people can afford to hold wedding banquets. But Xu Damao thinks that he is also a capable person, so he has to stand up, right? ? ?

Ah, this...

Two families holding a wedding banquet together? Why does it feel so awkward? Zhang Shenfei wanted to refuse.

In fact, the food in his space is enough to host not only one wedding banquet, but also ten or twenty ones.

But I can’t bear to take it out.

These days, the rations are fixed. You can just stay at home and eat something good without telling anyone.

But what if you hold a grand wedding banquet? ? The food and drinks will be on display. Anyone with an eye for details will know there is something fishy going on.

"Forget it. It would be nice to have some noodles with gravy at my wedding." Zhang Shenfei refused.

"Brother Dafei, you only get married once in a lifetime, so you have to do it well? Besides, you are the secretary of the director of the steel mill, and the deputy commander of the collective housing. When a lot of cadres and leaders come, you will let them squat on the ground and eat noodles? "

"And Xiaozao, she is the deputy director of the neighborhood committee, she must not lose face!!" Xu Damao was unwilling to give in and kept persuading her.

Sha Zhu joined in the fun and said that he hadn't had the opportunity to book a table for a long time.

Before, he could earn five yuan each time he went out to serve a table, and he could also bring the leftovers home to give to Sister Qin.

Only at this time would Sister Qin give him a smile...

But now people don’t hold wedding banquets anymore, and making a bowl of noodles with gravy only costs fifty cents, and there is no leftover to give to Sister Qin, so Sha Zhu is also anxious! ! ! !
In order to persuade Zhang Shenfei and Xu Damao to hold a wedding together, he patted his chest and promised that he would use all his life's knowledge.

"Brother Dafei, I will definitely do my best to prepare a wedding banquet for you and Xu Damao! Let everyone never forget it after having it once. Who would hold a wedding banquet these days? If you hold one, wouldn't it make you look very proud?"

The nine boys of the Zhang family heard that their second uncle might hold a wedding banquet, and they immediately became excited and rushed over, clamoring for meat and a banquet.

I haven't had a banquet in several years, I'm craving for it!!!
Well, Zhang Shenfei had no choice but to agree after being pestered by them.

After attending Siyan'er's wedding, it was already past three in the afternoon.

Zhang Shenfei rode his bicycle and took Tian Xiaozao all the way back to Yard No. 93.

After the wedding date was set, the atmosphere between the two of them quietly changed, not to mention the tenderness.

Just when Zhang Shenfei got up from Tian Xiaozao and was about to take a breath, he heard the door of the Tian family ring.

He immediately jumped off the bed: "Uncle Tian is here? Come in and take a seat."

After saying that, he motioned Tian Zhigang to sit down on the kang, and instructed Tian Xiaozao to pour water.

Tian Xiaozao felt guilty for having done something bad, so he immediately poured the water and handed it to Zhang Shenfei.

Zhang Shenfei took it and put it on the table: "It's cold outside, Uncle Tian, ​​drink some hot water to warm yourself up."

Tian Zhigang: “…”

What's going on? Why can't I tell who the guests are?

Is this in my house???
