Chapter 389 Deng Yunheng's Wedding
seven in the morning.
Regal Hotel.
20 wedding cars lined up from the Regal Hotel to Weiwei Alley. Fortunately, there were few cars in this era. Ninety-nine percent of the cars traveling in the county were bicycles, and the remaining one percent were motorcycles and other vehicles.
Therefore, this long convoy of wedding cars did not cause traffic jams.
However, there was no traffic jam, but people were.
People in the county have never seen such a grand reception. After seeing such a scene, not only did everyone come up to watch, but many people also went back to call their family members to open their eyes.
In just ten minutes, thousands of people gathered near the Regal Hotel, completely surrounding the place.
In addition to these onlookers, there are also leaders of the county government and guests from all over the country who have also gathered here.
"We came to the Regal Hotel to pick up the bride. It seems that the bride is not a local!"
"Now I'm not interested in where the bride is from. I just want to know who the groom is? Why is he so awesome?"
"It's really awesome. This ostentation is really huge. 10 cars and 10 buses are used to pick up the bride. Who the hell would dare to think about this. For ordinary people, having a wedding car like this is already awesome. Okay?"
"You only know that it is a car. I'm afraid you don't know what kind of car it is and how much it costs, right?"
"What, do you know this car?"
"Of course I know it. This car is called Santana. It is a very high-end car. I heard that one costs at least 200,000 yuan. The price of these 10 brand-new Santanas is already more than 2 million yuan, let alone 10 buses. Woolen cloth!"
"Awesome, so awesome, who is this groom?"
"..."
The onlookers were talking a lot, and they were all very curious about the identity of the groom. After all, the ceremony was really grand, and it was the first of its kind in Bobai's marriage history.
While everyone was whispering, more than ten people came down carrying exquisite bamboo woven baskets filled with candies. They came to distribute wedding candies to everyone.
Chinese people pay attention to a good start. On a wedding day like this, as long as conditions permit, it is normal to give out wedding candy to everyone. However, there are too many onlookers today. If it were someone else getting married, I guess I can't afford this wedding candy.
After all, there are at least two to three thousand people at the scene. Even if each person is given only one wedding candy, it will cost two to three thousand candies. How many grooms can afford it?
However, for the Deng family, this is not a problem, and each person is not given one wedding candy, but each person is given a handful of wedding candy.
This handwriting undoubtedly shocked the onlookers.
Immediately, someone who received the wedding candy asked: "Hello, I would like to ask, who is the groom today? We have eaten the wedding candy and want to give him a few blessings."
Then, the person in charge of handing out wedding candies replied with a smile: "Thank you everyone, today's groom is Deng Yunheng, the second son of the head of the Yedeng clan."
As a result, the news quickly spread around the scene, and everyone who heard the news was relieved.
It turned out that the son of the head of the Nayedeng clan was getting married. No wonder it was such a grand event.
Nowadays, in Bobai, everyone knows the prestige of the Naye Deng family. Everyone knows that this clan is the richest clan in the county. According to rumors, every family of the Naye Deng family now has a rich family. They all have at least tens of thousands in savings, and they are really rich.
And as the head of the Nayedeng clan, it goes without saying that his financial strength is even greater.
When giving out wedding candies to passers-by at the scene, the photographer also recorded these scenes.
As for guests like Zhao Jing and others who came from all over the country, they were not shocked when they saw these twenty "luxury" wedding cars. They had experienced the shock of the house in Naye Deng's community. Although this wedding car was also powerful, it was already shocking. No more for them.
Needless to say, the leaders of the county government know the strength of the Naye Deng family best. They use so few wedding cars, which is already very low-key.
When the wedding candies were almost distributed, the bride and groom walked out of the Regal Hotel, accompanied by the receptionists and wedding guests.
The overall looks of the bride and groom were carefully designed by stylists. They were the focus of the audience as soon as they appeared, and the onlookers were amazed.
"Wow, this bride is so beautiful!"
"Yes, she is so beautiful, just as beautiful as those beautiful female stars on TV."
"The groom is not bad either. He looks quite impressive. He is worthy of being the son of the leader of the Yedeng clan."
"What a talented man and beautiful woman, a match made in heaven!"
"..."
Amid the discussions of the onlookers, the bride and groom, the wedding guests, and the people who picked up the bride got on the car one after another.
Needless to say, the bride and groom took the first car. The bride-to-be and the receptionists also got into the car. There were still some seats left, so Deng Shirong arranged for his second son's old boss, Zhao Jing, and a few old colleagues to take the car.
As for my second son’s classmates and alumni at Peking University, as well as leaders from the county government, they were arranged to take buses.
There are also people from my own family and other helpers in the clan, all riding in buses.
After everyone got on the car and the photographers were in place, the 20 wedding cars slowly left the Regal Hotel and headed towards Naye Village under the gaze of thousands of people.
It is about 80 kilometers from the county seat to Naye Village, passing through the towns of Yashan, Wangmao, Hejiang, Dongping and Songwang along the way.
In this era, highways had to pass through the streets of various towns. Every time they arrived at a town, these 20 wedding cars would cause a huge sensation, making everyone who saw the wedding car fleet salivate with others who did not see it. Brag.
From the county seat to Songwang Town, it is a county-level highway. The road condition is not bad. After all, it is an asphalt road. Although the roadbed is a bit small, the road is a bit curved, and there are many uphill and downhill, but at least the road surface is smooth and there are no There were a lot of potholes, but it was pretty smooth to walk on.
Along the way, the woman and her party, as well as the guests who came from all over the country, looked at the scenery outside the window with great interest. There were low mountains everywhere, the roads were winding and winding, and the architectural style was completely different from theirs. The place feels quite new to them.
However, when we started to take a small road from the Tanlian intersection and drove towards Shuangwang, the narrow and bumpy road conditions caused the cars and buses to start to shake, shaking the wedding guests and most of the guests until they were dizzy. Dazzling.
In the front car, Gu Caiwei was shaken so hard that she could only lean on Deng Yunheng's arms and said, "Brother Heng, why are the roads in your Shuangwang Township so dilapidated?"
Deng Yunheng sighed: "There is no way. Our Shuangwang Township is not on the county road, and the geographical location is not good. In addition, there are many mountains here and the roads are not easy to repair. This is the only way we can do it for the time being."
Gu Caiwei asked: "How far is it from here to home?"
Deng Yunheng said: "It's about ten kilometers. The road is not easy to walk. It will take a long time. Please bear with it!"
Gu Caiwei hummed and said, "I'm fine."
There was a certain bus, and many leaders of the county government were also there.
At this time, the bus kept shaking, causing many leaders to sweat.
They, the county leaders, basically know this section of the road and know that the road needs to be repaired.
However, the development of the county must have priorities. Compared with building this section of road, they believe that there are other more important things to do. This is why the Shuangwang Township Government reported that it wants the county to allocate funds to build the road. County leaders like them Reasons no one wants to agree to.
But now and then, the leaders of the county government, one by one, are eager to repair this road immediately.
Because today, it is not just county leaders like them who are taking this path, but also leaders from all over the country, including provincial leaders.
If someone just passed by by chance, it would be nothing, but now this provincial leader has become the in-law of the head of the Yedeng clan, which means that this leader will not only come once, and there is no telling when he will come again.
Such poor road conditions allow such a big leader to run back and forth. How can any of the leaders in charge of these places stand still?
Although they are not the leaders of their province, but the leaders of Hubei, there is still a province in between!
But they have all been involved in the system, and they all know how wide the official network is.
The bigger the official, the wider the network of connections. For such a big official, who can guarantee that he will not have any familiar leaders in Guangxi?
When the time comes for people to complain in front of the leaders in Guangxi and complain about the road conditions here, I am afraid that all of their leaders sitting here will not be able to bear the burden and walk away.
Therefore, the deputy county magistrate in charge of the Transportation Bureau took the lead and said: "Last year, the Shuangwang Township Government submitted a report, hoping that the county could allocate funds to build roads in the township. Before, the conditions were not mature, so I submitted this report to Pressed down.
Now, I think the conditions are mature. I wonder what everyone thinks? "
The deputy county magistrate raised his head, and another deputy magistrate immediately answered: "I also think that the conditions for road construction are now mature."
Another deputy county magistrate said: "This section of road has indeed reached the point where it has to be repaired."
The county magistrate nodded and said: "Now this section of road is related to the image of our county. Coupled with the rapid development of Shuangwang Naye Deng's family, sooner or later it will drive the development of the entire village and even the entire township. Build a wide road." Asphalt road, I think it is very necessary, what do you think, Secretary?”
Secretary Song said: "The county magistrate is right. This road is indeed related to the image of our county. Let's hold a meeting tomorrow to implement this matter!"
The other leaders nodded one after another, and with just a few words, the leaders unified their thinking.
…
The more than ten kilometers of road, if it were a highway in later generations, would only take a few minutes to get there, but on such a bumpy and winding road, the entire convoy took more than half an hour to reach the area of the Nayedeng clan.
Then, the road conditions changed drastically.
From these dirt roads with narrow roadbeds and bumpy roads, they instantly turned into 60-meter-wide cement roads with green belts in the middle.
At the same time, a very domineering arch was built at the junction of the cement road and the dirt road. This arch is certainly not the inflatable arch of later generations, which did not appear until the mid-1990s. The current arch is made of bamboo wood. It was set up with red cloth and balloons hung on it.
There is a line of words written on the top. In the front are the two big characters "Congratulations". In the middle is the groom Deng Yunheng at the top, the bride Gu Caiwei at the bottom, and the newlyweds at the back.
Gu Caiwei, who was sitting in the lead car, saw it immediately, and her heart was really full of surprises. The groom's family really put their best efforts into this wedding.
Behind this arch, there are colorful balloons all the way, with countless 囍 characters mixed in among them.
Not only Gu Caiwei saw this scene, but also the bridegroom and many guests, all of whom were amazed.
In later generations, such arrangements can be said to be commonplace, and no one would find it strange.
But such an arrangement in this era would really be a massacre, shocking everyone.
You know, the balloons were not only deployed for a few dozen meters, but the entire 60-meter village road was deployed. The number of balloons used was astonishing.
The photographer recorded all these scenes and took a lot of photos. They have taken a lot of videos and photos, but they have never taken a big scene like today’s wedding banquet. As a photographer, I am also very excited. Incessantly.
Of course, in addition to the decoration of the groom's house that amazed everyone, there was also this 60-meter avenue that should not appear here, which also attracted everyone's attention.
It would not be surprising if such a wide cement road appeared in a big city, but when it appeared in such a remote mountain village, the feeling was different, especially compared with the narrow and bumpy dirt road before. Than, the contrast is really huge.
In addition to the 60-meter avenue that shocked the guests, the contiguous buildings dozens of meters to the left also surprised the guests.
Although these buildings are only the foundations at present and there is still a long way to go before they are actually completed, the building complex is really too big. It starts from the 60-meter Avenue and continues continuously. How long is this road? The building is as long as it is.
This sight made the guests talk a lot.
This 60-meter road is all made of concrete pavement. It takes more than two kilometers to reach Deng Shirong's home. Because the road is wide and easy to walk, it only takes less than three minutes to get home.
The area in front of Deng Shirong's house is still adequate, and there is no problem in parking 20 wedding cars.
At home, Xiao Donger and Dongzi had been waiting eagerly. When they saw the wedding car coming back, the two little guys cheered excitedly. As soon as the car stopped, the two little guys couldn't wait to run over.
When the bride and groom got out of the car, Xiao Donger exclaimed: "Wow, Second Aunt, you are so beautiful today!"
Gu Caiwei reached out to touch her little head and praised with a smile on her face: "Xiao Dong'er, you are also very beautiful today!"
Deng Yunheng laughed and said: "Xiao Dong'er, Dongzi, is your second uncle handsome today?"
Xiaodong'er nodded and said: "Handsome, my second uncle is very handsome today."
Dongzi nodded along like a yes man: "Second uncle is very handsome today."
At this time, other guests also got out of the car. Seeing the Deng family's large blue brick house with tiles, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The building was finally normal.
Deng Shirong came to Zhao Jing and said with a smile: "Boss, you can rest at home first, or you can go to the place where the wine is placed."
Zhao Jing smiled and said, "Okay, where is the place where the wine is placed?"
Deng Shirong reached out and pointed to the low mountain on the left and said, "It's right there."
Zhao Jing looked in the direction Deng Shirong pointed and saw the exquisite building at a glance. She was surprised and said: "Uncle Deng, is that?"
Deng Shirong said: "That is our Naye Deng's Ancestral Hall. If the leaders are interested, they can visit it."
Zhao Jing nodded and said: "Okay, then Uncle Deng, please go ahead and do your work. My colleagues and I will go over and visit."
Deng Shirong hummed, then came to the in-laws and guests and said the same thing.
The Deng family made the wedding so grand today that Gu's father and mother also wanted to see the wine scene, and the other guests had the same intention.
So, everyone marched toward the Naye Deng Clan's Ancestral Hall.
As for the bride and groom, they have to go to Grandpa first according to the custom here.
Naye Deng's Ancestral Hall is very close to Deng Shirong's home. The straight-line distance is less than 50 meters. To go further, you need to make a circle, which is only more than 100 meters away, so the guests quickly walked to the wine place.
At this time, the entrance of the ancestral hall was already filled with tables and chairs. There were at least several hundred tables, arranged neatly.
The layout of the tables and chairs was also full of celebration, with all kinds of 囍 characters everywhere, making it easy for people to know that this was a wedding reception.
On the left and right sides, there are two rows of temporary stoves, and more than a dozen chefs hired with money are busy.
However, these only gave everyone a glance, and they were soon attracted by the majestic ancestral hall.
Then, all the guests, including Gu's father and Gu's mother, all walked to the ancestral hall.
When they got closer, they were even more shocked.
The entrance of the ancestral hall is carved with dragons and phoenixes, and various lifelike reliefs show that this ancestral hall is definitely not an ordinary ancestral hall.
After entering the ancestral hall, it was an eye-opener for all the guests.
They had never heard of such a magnificent ancestral hall before, let alone seen it before. This ancestral hall was definitely the most exquisite and exquisite among the ancestral halls they had ever seen.
After appreciating this picturesque ancestral hall, everyone stood in front of the family merit monument and began to read the preface of the ancestral hall.
After reading the preface to the monument, the next step was for the family to donate and erect the monument. The first thing that caught everyone's attention was undoubtedly the Deng Shirong family's family merit monument, which occupies the largest space.
Originally, the guests did not know much about the Deng Shirong family. Only after reading the introduction of this merit monument did they truly understand the situation of the Deng family.
"Oh my God, Uncle Deng is so awesome!"
"Yeah, it's really incredible. In less than ten years, it has developed from nothing to where it is today. It's really incredible."
"No wonder County Magistrate Deng never lacked money when he was studying. He was recognized as one of the richest people in the school. It seems that Uncle Deng was already rich at that time, and his family was indeed not short of money!"
"I admire you. He led the whole family to become rich. Uncle Deng is really amazing."
"Uncle Deng's mind is really great. If it were someone else, such a good way to make money would have been done by themselves long ago. How could he be willing to lead the whole family to do it together!"
"It is said that like father, like son. It seems that County Magistrate Deng's success is not accidental, but inevitable."
"With such an excellent parent as Uncle Deng leading, the whole family is thriving, and the children are all promising. He is really a model for our generation to learn from."
"Uncle Deng donated more than 300,000 yuan just to build this ancestral hall. This financial strength is really terrifying."
"..."
After reading this family merit monument, all the guests praised the Deng family. Even people with extraordinary family backgrounds like Zhao Jing and Li Haibo felt amazed.
Indeed, from ancient times to the present, my country has always been an official-oriented country. Rich people are nothing in front of powerful people.
However, this comparison also depends on how big the official is and how much money he has.
They all know from the side that Deng Shirong's family's assets should have reached tens of millions, and this wealth is still growing rapidly. This asset was really awesome in the 1990s.
The key is that people have earned money in just a few years by their own strength, which is completely different from those who have earned money through dishonorable means.
In short, from this moment on, all the guests valued Deng Yunheng more.
He was already excellent and awesome enough, and now he has become the son-in-law of a provincial leader, and he has a father with super ability. Who wouldn't make friends with such a promising person?
After reading the introduction of the family merit monument, the Gu family also showed a surprised expression. Their family originally only valued Deng Yunheng, an excellent son-in-law, and didn't care much about the son-in-law's family background. Gu's father and mother were not the kind of people who valued the right family.
However, when they came to Nanning to visit their family last year, the Five Mountains Square at the son-in-law's house still shocked the Gu family a little, letting them know that the son-in-law's family is still very well-off. Although he was born in the countryside and has no background, his economic conditions are better than most people in the country.
Now, it goes without saying that this in-law is even better than they imagined, which is naturally a pleasant surprise for their Gu family.
While everyone was admiring the family merit monument, the bride and groom who had already offered sacrifices to the grandfather came to the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors of the Deng family.
When these procedures were completed, it was almost noon.
At this time, the people in charge of receiving guests in the clan began to greet the guests to take their seats. The guests who sent off the bride and the guests who came from all over the country and the leaders of the county government were naturally arranged to the better seats in the front.
Others, such as the leaders of the township government and the well-known clan members from all over the country, were slightly inferior.
The rest of the seats were for relatives, friends and clan members.
There is no other way. Since ancient times, my country has attached great importance to seats. Many of the guests present today are officials. Deng Shirong naturally cannot arrange them randomly. Basically, he arranges seats according to their ranks and closeness.
Another thing is to try to classify everyone so that everyone can feel more comfortable when eating and drinking.
For example, Deng Yunheng’s colleagues in the ministry, let them sit at the same table.
Peking University classmates, alumni, fellow villagers, etc., also try to arrange them to sit at the same table.
The leaders of the county government sit at one table.
After all the guests are seated, Deng Shirong, the male parent, will come on stage to give a speech.
…
