The Era of Hard Work

"The five-star red flag is fluttering in the wind, the singing of victory is so loud, singing about our dear motherland, from now on we will be prosperous and strong..."

The sun was rising, and the loud singing went away with the autumn wind. There were hundreds of people gathered at the gate of Lu Dong's house. The older ones sat drinking water and chatting, and the younger ones stood by the roadside to watch the fun.

Red lanterns, bright colored flags, and flickering colored lights stretched all the way to the south entrance of Xincun.

Eight brand new Audi A6s drove slowly from the north and stopped at the door of Lu Dong's house, waiting to set off to welcome the bride.

Uncle Qi stood next to the head car and called all the drivers to him: "Remember, let's not turn back. We will walk on the tourist ring road in a while, enter the community from the north gate, pick up the bride and come out from the south gate. Go east along Xuefu Road, turn north at the intersection of Luozhuang Road and come back!"

No professional wedding team was invited, and all the drivers were their own people.

Lujiacun Group, Lu's Catering, Wenxin Commercial and other companies can easily collect eight Audi A6s.

"Uncle Qi, don't worry." Li Lin, who drove the car at the beginning, said, "We all took a trip yesterday."

Lu Jianren laughed: "If you run out of business, you brother Dong will have to blame me, and then I will cut you next to each other!"

Lu Tao, who was in charge of driving the Land Rover Defender and pulling the cameraman, answered: "If something goes wrong, you can screw our heads off and kick them like balls!"

From Lujia Village to Xuefu Wenyuan, even if you drive slowly, it will only take 20 minutes if you are full, and you will meet your relatives in the morning, not midnight.

The relevant tasks were all assigned yesterday, and Lu Jianren handed over the bag to Li Lin: "At that time, you and Lu Kun will be in charge of calling the door with me. Learn a little bit, and it will be your job in the future."

Uncle Seven's boss bag was full of red envelopes. Li Lin and Lu Kun opened the bag and stuffed some into their pockets.

"I'll go see how Dongzi is doing." Lu Jianren entered the house.

People who went to greet the relatives came out one after another, and according to yesterday's arrangement, they got into the corresponding vehicles.

Lu Jianren entered the villa and went up to the second floor. In the newly furnished living room, Li Wenyue and Du Xiaobing were helping Lu Dong organize his suit.

"Smile more!" Lao Du reminded Lu Dong, "Don't be so serious, okay?"

Lu Dong laughed: "It's not that I want to be serious, I didn't sleep well last night."

Li Wenyue picked up the bouquet and asked, "Did you fall asleep last night?"

"I was in a daze for a while." Lu Dong looked at the full-length mirror, "I don't know why, but I just couldn't sleep."

Du Xiaobing answered: "Excited, a beautiful wife like Song Na is about to marry back, you are not excited!"

Lu Jianren pushed the door open and came in: "I'll just wait for the three of you, aren't you alright?"

Lu Dong replied, "Okay! Alright! Let's go now."

Lu Jianren waved: "Okay, let's hurry up, let's be sooner rather than later."

Li Wenyue looked around in the room, took everything he needed to bring, and followed Lu Jianren downstairs.

Lu Dong wore big slippers and went down with Du Xiaobing.

As soon as Lao Du and Li Wenyue came downstairs, Fang Yan, who had just given birth to a son, greeted him and gave Du Xiaobing a big apple and Li Wenyue a big pomegranate.

The second grandfather glanced at his watch and said, "Dongzi, wait for a while."

Lu Dong stood waiting in the living room on the first floor. Lu Lanlan came over and said, "Brother Dong, you are so handsome today."

"I wasn't handsome before?" Lu Dong asked.

Lu Lanlan thought for a while and decided to tell the truth: "You are not as good-looking as your sister-in-law."

Li Wenyue picked up a piece of candy from the tea table and stuffed it into Lu Lanlan's hand: "Hurry up and find a place to eat candy."

Hu Chunlan came out of the bedroom at this time and sat under the portrait of Lu Jianjun in the middle of the living room.

The second grandfather looked at the clock on the wall again, waited for a while, and said, "Thank you parents for your kindness!"

Lu Dong took two steps forward, came to the opposite of the portraits of his mother and father, knelt down and kowtowed firmly.

The old woman raised him alone, how much hardship, how much hardship, how much humiliation, Lu Dong is very clear.

When he was young, it was his mother who held up the sky for him. From now on, he will support his mother.

Dad fell in the southern border, and the love he gave without complaints and regrets flowed in the soil of the republic, and together with countless people, he turned into a mountain guarding the frontier.

Lu Dong did not embarrass his father, nor did he humiliate this glorious family. From setting up a street stall to starting a business and now achieving success, he has always adhered to principles and has always been a good person.

In the summer of 1998, under the portrait of Lu Jianjun in the old house, Lu Dong made up his mind to support the house.

He did not slip up, he did what he promised!

The living room was silent for a while, and Lu Dong kowtowed twice before standing up: "Dad, Mom, I'm going."

Hu Chunlan looked at her son with tears in her eyes. After more than ten years of hard work, she finally waited for the moment when her son really wanted to get married.

Thousands of words are reduced to two words: "Go!"

Seventh Uncle led the way, Li Wenyue and Du Xiaobing followed with flowers, apples and pomegranates in their arms, and Lu Dong followed suit and left the villa.

The second grandfather shouted loudly: "The drums are playing!"

The drum band in the village played and sang immediately, playing a festive scene.

When Lu Dong got in the car, Nail brought new shoes, and Hu Chunlan personally changed the shoes for her son, allowing her son to embark on a brand new road.

Du Xiaobing sat in the co-pilot, Li Wenyue sat in the back seat with Lu Dong, and the rest got into the car one after another.

Before the gong beat the head to clear the way, Lu Jianren waved his hand: "Let's go!"

As the long convoy moved forward, the sound of firecrackers and salutes sounded at the same time.

Lu Dong took out his phone and sent a text message to Song Na: "Let's go!"

Song Na replied quickly: "I'll wait for you to pick it up!"

After leaving the village, the convoy speeded up, and whenever there was a turn, a small firecracker would be thrown down from the head car.

The two sides are close, and it is early in the morning to welcome the relatives, so there is no need to worry about the problem of vehicles falling behind.

For example, when Lu Chun greeted his relatives, he had to cross the Yellow River to go to Beihe, and each car was equipped with a walkie-talkie.

The ones that are too far apart, too many people get separated or get lost while running around in the wedding car.

…………

In Xuefu Wenyuan Community, Song Na had already dressed up and was sitting on the big bed in the room.

Vera Wang checked the look in person and gave instructions in English, with Natasha acting as an interpreter.

It is roughly to change the second wedding dress and jewelry when you arrive at the hotel.

Seeing that Wang Weiwei finished speaking, Li Qing came over at this time and arranged three cars to deliver Wang Weiwei's team and Song Na's dress and so on.

Compared with men, women have too much trouble and tiredness when they get married.

At this time, Fu Zhaoxia called Qiao Weiguo, who was welcoming the bride together, and said, "I've entered the university town, hurry up, everyone get ready."

Zhao Juanjuan pulled Song Na's yoga teacher Yang Min and several relatives: "Let's block the gate!"

Yuan Jing and Xia Tian, ​​who were wearing bridesmaid outfits, greeted Fu Zhaoxia, Natasha, Zhou Shanshan and others to close the bedroom door.

Zhou Shanshan was worried: "There is Li Wenyue in the best man, Yuan Jing, you can't let the water go."

Yuan Jing said: "No way, if you don't give enough red envelopes, why don't you open the door!"

Natasha participated in a Chinese wedding for the first time, and she was very curious: "Can I make things difficult for the groom?"

"It's useless." Xia Tian understands the customs here: "It's always the best man and the leader who call the door. The groom waits for the door to be called before coming, unless the bride asks."

She looked at Song Na: "She is reluctant."

Song Na just laughed: "It's fine to make a little noise."

Yuan Jing said, "You, you always think about everything for Lu Dong. If you always do this, when you get married, you will have to let Lu Dong eat to death."

Song Na is confident: "No."

The topic of several people immediately changed, all of them had boyfriends, they would soon enter the palace of marriage, and discussed the art of being a husband.

Even Natasha, a Ukrainian, was in high spirits.

Suddenly there was the sound of a gong outside, followed by knocking and calling at the door.

"Here they come!" Yuan Jing closed the door: "They are here!"

Hearing some chaotic sounds outside, Song Na's breathing was a little short for a moment, and she even felt nervous. The two hands placed in front of the flat belly were tightly churned together.

Starting today, she will officially become Lu Dong's wife.

…………

The entrance of the building unit almost blocked the way in and out. Lu Dong waited quietly behind, and Qishu, Li Lin and Lu Kun were leading the charge in front.

As the groom, just wait.

Uncle Seven is an experienced doorman, but within three or four minutes, he "spoofed" the anti-theft door open.

More than a dozen people rushed into the Song family's house. Fortunately, the house was big enough and not too crowded.

Here, Song Na's uncle greeted Lu Dong and took a seat on the sofa in the living room, and then began to serve food, whether he wanted to eat or not, he meant it.

For the rest, don't worry about Lu Dong, it will be his turn to play when the door is called to open.

Song Na's uncle, an older brother from the same family, and a cousin from a distant room were sitting with Lu Dong in the living room and talking

After about ten minutes, I heard a commotion over there, and the door opened.

Du Xiaobing hurried over to call Lu Dong. When Lu Dong entered Song Na's bedroom, he saw Song Na dressed up sitting on the bed and smiling at him.

When Lu Dong came in, Li Wenyue and Zou Kai had found Song Na's diamond-encrusted high heels.

The overlap between the social circles on both sides is too high, and it is inevitable that insiders will appear.

Song Na's feet protruded from under the white peony-like skirt in full bloom. Lu Dong personally put on high heels for her, took out the ring, knelt down on one knee, and looked straight into Song Na's jewel-like eyes: "My wife, I I'm here to pick you up."

Seeing Lu Dong take out the diamond ring, Song Na pursed her red lips and nodded frequently: "I've been waiting for you."

Lu Dong put on a ring for Song Na, stood up with one arm around her shoulders, and one hand on her knees, picked Song Na up and walked out.

Song Na's skirt hung down, her arms tightly wrapped around Lu Dong's neck, and she buried her head in his chest, not letting the tears of happiness and excitement flow out.

She had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Lu Dong hugged Song Na out of the house, the drums played, and there were cheers from all around.

Song Na looks slender and slender, but in fact she is not low in weight because she keeps exercising all the year round.

But Lu Dong held Song Na firmly and put Song Na in the car.

Lu Jianren looked at his watch and said, "Let's go! Let's go!" He went over to Lao Song and his wife and said, "Brother, sister-in-law, please wait for a moment, the commercial vehicle pulling people will come over soon."

Li Wenyue and Du Xiaobing arranged for the people who saw their relatives to get on the car, and they got into the auxiliary car with the bridesmaids.

As the convoy started, Song's mother kept following, following the convoy forward, thinking about it.

Song Na covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face.

Lu Dong held her hand tightly, and gently wiped her tears with a tissue.
