Chapter 562

January 1, 1986, the 21st day of the 11th lunar month of the Year of the Ox. Suitable for: marriage, engagement, sacrifice, prayer... Avoid: opening a business, burial.

Before dawn, Li Ye was called up by Wu Juying.

Today is the day Wen Guohua gets married. It is a big event for Teacher Ke's family, and it is also a big event for the Li family.

A month ago, Wen Qingsheng invited Li Kaijian's family to attend the wedding. The day before yesterday, Watching Wen Leyu came over again to notify Li Ye that he had to help his future brother-in-law, Wen Guohua, go to pick up the bride this morning.

"Did you go to sleep after washing your hair last night? Look at this hair, it's sticking up like messy grass..."

Wu Juying helped Li Ye tidy up his clothes and used a comb to help Li Ye comb his hair.

And she also exhorted Li Ye while combing: "When you go to pick up the bride, pay attention to speaking less. If people ask who you are, just say you are Wen Guohua's friend. Don't ever say you are their brother-in-law..."

Li Ye smiled and said, "That might be hard to handle. Xiao Yu is going to go with me to pick up the bride. Once people see our talented man and beautiful woman, they will be able to guess it."

"No glib tongue allowed."

Grandma Wu Juying hit Li Ye lightly and emphasized her tone: "You must be steady. There are so many people today; how do you know how people will look at you? Speak less. If no one asks you, just pretend to be mute. Did you hear me?"

"Got it, got it. I guarantee I won't lose face for Uncle Wen's family."

Li Ye pursed his lips, went out, drove the car, and left.

He knew what Grandma Wu Juying meant; it was to let him be low-key, low-key, and low-key again, and not do anything frivolous that would make people laugh at the country son-in-law the Wen family chose, proving he really couldn't be on the stage.

Now the relationship between Li Ye and Watching Wen Leyu is just one last step away from being completed, so don't let any complications arise at the last moment.

Li Ye drove to the gate of the COFCO compound. Before dawn, he parked the car far away in a low-key manner and then walked over.

Li Ye felt that for people with the status of Wen Guohua and Pan Xiaoying to get married, it shouldn't be popular to have a line of Mercedes and Land Rovers, so Li Ye didn't plan to drive this Santana in to make up the numbers.

After walking into the COFCO compound, Li Ye saw several Volgas and several 130s, and Li Ye knew he had guessed right.

Teacher Ke and Wen Qingsheng both take Red Flags, but today Wen Guohua probably borrowed the car from his own unit, focusing on being low-key.

Okay! The pretty little side-part hair Grandma combed for me seems to be going to be messy in the wind.

Li Ye just estimated and knew that he would most likely end up with the treatment of blowing in the wind in the back of a 130 truck.

Wen Guohua was chatting with friends who came to help at the door of his house. Li Ye looked and basically didn't recognize anyone, only recognizing one Tan Qin.

"Brother is here, come over and chat for a while."

Wen Guohua waved to him after seeing Li Ye, but after Li Ye walked over with a smile, Wen Guohua's brows were tightly furrowed.

"Hey, brother, hurry up and go find Xiao Yu in the house, and let her help you change into an outfit."

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

"Hahahaha, classmate Li Ye, your outfit today makes some people very dissatisfied. Why don't you hurry up and change?"

"Heh..."

Li Ye smiled and had to go find Watching Wen Leyu.

When Watching Wen Leyu saw Li Ye enter the door, she saw several people chatting on the sofa with Wen Qingsheng and Teacher Ke; they were clearly friends who were relatively close to the Wen family.

In front of so many people, Li Ye couldn't address them randomly, so he had to smile and say, "Uncle Wen, Brother Wen asked me to find Watching Wen Leyu to get something."

"Go ahead! Xiao Yu is in her room!"

Wen Qingsheng waved his hand with a smile, letting him go find her himself.

"Old Wen, who is this young man?"

"Hey, you guess!"

"Still guessing? That must be your son-in-law, right? I've heard he's talented, and sure enough..."

"Look at my judgment, how is it?"

"Judgment is not bad. Just this skin, it's top-notch, not to mention he also has talent!"

"That's..."

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

In the eighties, it was the time when the son-in-law party was prevalent. Having a son-in-law who could be shown off was also very face-saving.

After Li Ye knocked on the door and entered Watching Wen Leyu's room, the little girl's eyes could not help but light up.

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

Li Ye shook his head: "Before I could start chatting, your brother asked me to come find you and change into an outfit."

"Change clothes?"

Watching Wen Leyu was stunned, and then her little mouth pouted high, complaining: "Where did he get such a bad habit? Coming to help him, and he's complaining?"

Decades later, it's a rule that everyone knows that the bridesmaid cannot steal the bride's limelight, but I haven't heard that the best man cannot dress too handsomely.

And today Li Ye didn't dress up deliberately; he just took out the new clothes from the closet that he didn't usually wear and put them on.

The reason Watching Wen Leyu pouted was that she knew Wen Guohua thought Li Ye was dressed too eye-catchingly today. But you, the groom, know how to be vain, so does my boyfriend have to be a foil for you?

So many friends are coming to the house today. Is it possible that my partner has to dress specially ugly to satisfy your wishes?

Li Ye said helplessly: "I really didn't consider it carefully today. I didn't really want to steal your brother's limelight. Hurry up and help me change! Otherwise, it won't be good if people mistake me for the groom when picking up the bride later."

"Pfft."

Watching Wen Leyu couldn't help laughing, and her high-pouted little mouth also fell.

Then Watching Wen Leyu went to find Wen Guohua's clothes, picked and picked, and finally picked out a Zhongshan suit that barely fit.

But when Li Ye changed and went out, Wen Guohua's brows furrowed again.

Li Ye looked down and said depressedly: "This outfit still won't work? Everything else I put on is too big, you are too tall..."

Actually, Wen Guohua was only three or four centimeters taller than Li Ye, but Watching Wen Leyu must have picked the one she was most satisfied with. After changing back and forth, it just changed from a fashionable Wu Yanzu to a Jingwu Men Chen Zhen; both were super handsome.

"Hahahahaha."

Tan Qin laughed loudly again, causing many people around to follow suit.

Because of the conflict between Li Ye and Bao Er back then, it spread around, so many people knew that Watching Wen Leyu was dating a country boyfriend. Now looking at Li Ye's appearance, they all guessed who he was.

The brother-in-law being forced by the brother-in-law to change clothes, this topic is estimated to be talked about for a while.

However, Li Ye did not feel embarrassed because of everyone's laughter, but unbuttoned his coat and took off the Zhongshan suit jacket.

Fortunately, he needed to eat at the banquet today, so Li Ye didn't wear the "commemorative edition" sweater that Watching Wen Leyu knitted for him inside his coat, otherwise, it would probably have caused another roar of laughter.

Wen Guohua's brows finally relaxed. Li Ye, who was only wearing a sweater, finally dissipated most of his piercing handsomeness and turned into a sunny big boy.

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

"Brother, this is the first time I've seen Old Wen praise someone! Come, come, come, let's chat..."

"Brother, do you recognize me? That time you did a righteous act in Xiushuijie, it was me who handled it. One against seventeen!

Goodness, I wasn't convinced at the time, thinking it was bragging! Later, Old Wen grabbed me and compared bayonet fighting, and then I was convinced. I heard you are even more powerful than him?"

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

Wen Guohua letting Li Ye change clothes, doesn't it make him stand out? Many of Wen Guohua's friends were seeing Li Ye for the first time, but after this joking process, didn't they all pull closer and start chatting?

Don't look down on my brother-in-law, you guys are far behind.

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

When the sky was just getting bright, the wedding procession finally set off, driving toward Pan Xiaoying's house.

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

It's just that most of the wedding processions were not using cars, but bicycle teams.

Li Ye looked at a group of people pedaling their bicycles hard, looking joyous, and felt it was even more energetic than the line of Audis in later generations.

Li Ye understood that the current worker big brothers hadn't experienced the sense of oppression brought by the wealth gap, so their happiness index was still very high. In the words of the older generation, it was "holding an iron rice bowl with no worries."

The process of picking up the bride was very lively and very smooth. The bridesmaids blocking the door only insisted for a few minutes before opening the door, and the drama of hiding shoes and asking for red envelopes was simply non-existent.

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, one sentence from Pan Xiaoying made everyone lose heart: "Don't you think, would a handsome guy like him not have a partner? He already has someone."

After the bride was successfully picked up, Li Ye and Watching Wen Leyu started to work together on the banquet matters.

Although everything is required to be simple now, Wen Guohua and Ke Zhiyu are sitting in that position after all, so there are really many people coming to congratulate them. Just arranging the seating for the banquet is quite a headache.

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

Li Zhongfa only learned after chatting with the other party that these people were all friends that Wen Qingsheng and Wen Guohua met when they were having a hard time over there. To some extent, they were of the same nature as Li Ye's family.

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

"After I came down from the army, I worked in the unit's transport team. Don't look at me as a director now, but actually, I am the same as Uncle Li and Uncle Bao, we are all the working masses..."

Director Ma is the management personnel responsible for transportation in COFCO. Although he said he is the working masses, Li Ye chatted a little and learned that this "transport team leader" manages thousands of vehicles and thousands of people, a proper real-power division-level cadre.

And as everyone chatted, Li Ye learned that Uncle Bao's youngest son came to the capital this time and wouldn't go back; he was going to be arranged to be a worker in COFCO.

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