Chapter 298 I am proud to be a soldier and proud to marry a soldier!
Jiang Linhai and Tian Huizhen used to attend other people's weddings, but today their own son finally got married, and they were indescribably happy.
He specially took out a sum of money and gave it to the canteen of the military compound to prepare ten dishes. They wanted to host a banquet for everyone in the compound to celebrate his family's happy event.
Some family members of the compound were very curious about who the Jiang family's daughter-in-law was, how she could win over Jiang Yiming, a man with "high expectations", and how she could be accepted by Jiang Linhai and Tian Huizhen.
Many people wanted to rely on the Jiang family as their big tree, and introduced many girls to Jiang Yiming, but he was not satisfied with any of them. Everyone thought that he would continue to be single or find a well-matched in-law family to help his career.
When Zhou family members appeared wearing work clothes from various factories and carrying dowries, everyone realized that Jiang family's daughter-in-law was the child of a working-class family. They couldn't help but wonder why Jiang family chose a daughter-in-law who was not of the same social status as them.
Due to the status of the Jiang family, they dared not ask directly and could only whisper behind their backs...
Zhou Cai's dowry caused quite a stir in the military compound. It included a bicycle, a sewing machine, a row of bright red wedding quilts, mahogany boxes, pots and pans, bowls, etc. Her family could not afford such a large dowry if it did not have some financial resources.
Everyone suspected that the Zhou family was not a simple working-class family and wanted to find Tian Huizhen to find out the situation and ask whether the Zhou family's ancestors were businessmen.
Tian Huizhen had to guide Zhou Jiahua and others in placing the dowry, and also had to entertain Zhou's father and mother. She was so busy that how could she have time to take care of them?
He only replied: "My daughter-in-law's family has a clean family background and good class background!"
Ignore those who come to cause trouble.
Tian Huizhen gave a red envelope of 8 yuan to everyone who carried the dowry.
She initially gave 6 yuan in red envelopes, but after Jiang Yiming came home yesterday, he said that when the Zhou family's second daughter got married, the Shen family gave 8 yuan, so she added 2 yuan to each red envelope.
Jiang Yiming asked Tian Huizhen to prepare 28 yuan for Zhou Jiaguang's cloth tent bamboo red envelope.
Zhou Jiaguang was so happy after receiving the red envelope.
Zhou Qinghong proposed to distribute the red envelopes, on the grounds that his previous cloth tent bamboo red envelopes were shared equally with everyone, and Zhou Jiaguang's red envelope also needed to be shared.
Zhou Jiaguang didn't take Zhou Qinghong seriously at all. He put the red envelope in his pocket and took his eldest son to visit the military compound.
This child was taken to the steel factory by his parents for a period of time. It seems that his brain is not as flexible as when he lived with his eldest sister. But he is not afraid!
Zhou Jiaguang and a few others promised red envelopes to give to Da Wa and Er Wa, and they agreed to divide the money after returning home, so that he can satisfy the addiction of being a rich man first.
The three brothers and sisters of Da Wa were not afraid that he would default on his debt, but they were also worried that showing off their wealth would bring disaster. Distributing the red envelopes on the spot would attract more children or adults to interfere, so they agreed to his proposal...
After drinking a cup of tea at Jiang's house, Zhou's father said he wanted to take a walk around. Jiang Linhai personally accompanied him and explained to him some of the main sights of the military compound.
The more Zhou's father looked, the colder he felt. There were many soldiers guarding the compound. All the small courtyards where important people lived had guards with guns. There were two guards at the door of Jiang Linhai's house.
The eldest daughter is right. With their flesh and blood, they can't get close to the Jiang family at all.
Jiang Linhai saw that Zhou's father was in a low mood and asked, "My dear, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Father Zhou: "I'm fine. I was just shocked by the soldiers who were on guard. I felt that they were working so hard. Don't they have to rest on weekdays? Do they have to stand like this all the time?"
Jiang Linhai: "No, we rotate every 2 hours, which is definitely a bit hard, but it is also the honor of being a soldier.
The bride should be here soon, let's go to the dining hall to attend the ceremony."
Father Zhou: "Okay."
Zhou Cai sat in the jeep until all the dowry was carried into the Jiang family and the bed was made. Only then were she and Jiang Yiming guided to the cafeteria to attend the formal wedding.
The cafeteria was decorated festively with many ribbons hung.
Not only leaders from the army but also some officials from government agencies attended the wedding.
The commander served as the witness. He first asked the two newlyweds to salute the portrait of the leader, then to salute all the guests, and finally to face each other and salute each other.
It was Zhou Cai’s first time to attend such a wedding ceremony. Looking at the heroic Jiang Yiming, she felt excited and a little shy.
Jiang Yiming looked at the bright and charming Zhou Cai with a silly smile on his face.
After the ceremony, several important leaders spoke, followed by speeches by the two newlyweds.
Jiang Yiming saluted everyone and said with a resolute look: "Thank you leaders at all levels and relatives and friends for coming to attend my wedding with Comrade Zhou Cai.
I am very happy to have found my revolutionary partner. Although I will have an additional identity as a husband in the future, as a soldier, I will not forget the trust of my motherland.
I will defend our country with my lover, and use our backbones, together with thousands of backbones, to build an indestructible Great Wall of Steel for our country!"
After the applause of "pa pa... pa pa...", Zhou Cai spoke.
In view of the scene at Zhou Gui’s wedding, Zhou Rong knew that Zhou Cai’s speech was essential. She trained Zhou Cai at home in advance and taught her several key points.
Zhou Cai was moved by Jiang Yiming's words and the brown-green military uniforms at the scene. At the same time, she recalled the key points of speeches taught by her elder sister and said loudly: "Thank you to the leaders at all levels, and thank you to all the relatives and friends for coming to attend the wedding of Comrade Jiang Yiming and me.
Our acquaintance was very accidental, and I never thought that I would marry a soldier one day.
In my mind, soldier is a loud and noble title. They are the most lovely people, the most loyal sons and daughters of the motherland, and truly selfless and fearless warriors!
It is only with the witness of the blood and sweat of the soldiers that our motherland becomes so strong, prosperous and healthy, and our lives become so peaceful, happy and warm.
I am proud to be a soldier and proud to be married to a soldier!
From now on, I will work with Comrade Jiang Yiming to serve the motherland to the best of my ability!"
"Clap... clap..." After the commander led the applause, the applause in the entire cafeteria continued for a long time.
No one expected Zhou Cai to have such a high level of ideological awareness. Look at what she said, how sincere and touching it sounds. She is worthy of being the daughter-in-law that the Jiang family has chosen!
Jiang Linhai and Tian Huizhen showed no sign of hiding their pride, and even winked at their old comrades, as if to tell everyone, "Isn't our daughter-in-law amazing?"
In the past, several army commanders and generals would have certainly made some sarcastic remarks about Jiang Linhai's boasting, but today, they were convinced that the daughter-in-law chosen by Old Jiang was truly impeccable.
Jiang Yiming was also surprised by Zhou Cai's words. His wife looked weak, but it turned out that she was so strong inside!
Shen Chunheng and Qin Yanhua also attended Zhou Cai's wedding today. They kept giving thumbs up to Zhou's father and mother, praising them for their ability to teach their children.
The other guests also looked at Zhou's father and mother, admiring them for how well they had raised their children.
Mr. and Mother Zhou hold their backs straight. Naturally, none of the children they raised are bad!
The two used to think that their family background was not worthy of the Jiang family, but after listening to Zhou Cai's words, Zhou's father and mother felt that their daughter was so outstanding, not to mention the commander's family, even the emperor, she was worthy of him!
