Rebirth 1958: My Home is in Nanluoguxiang

Many misunderstandings in the world are caused by communication problems.

Some things, when talked about and broken down, and when both parties fully understand each other, can two hearts truly stick together.

Chang Zhengyang quickly caught up with Wang Qianwen, picked her up and gave her a princess hug. She hugged his neck with her backhand, put her chin on Chang Zhengyang's shoulder and whispered: "After I find the ultimate, I will leave the Wang family and change back to my original name, Shen Qianwen, Chang Zhengyang, if I get old, will you abandon me?"

"Let's grow old together!"

Chang Zhengyang hugged the woman in his arms tightly. She just hummed and said nothing, nor did she ask Chang Zhengyang if he could do it.

Early in the morning on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Chang Zhengyang and Wang Qianwen went to the street office to get their marriage certificate. Along the way, they handed out candies and peanuts to everyone they met, and received countless blessings.

At the Chang family's side, the wedding room is ready, with furniture, ornaments, and all the daily necessities. There is nothing to prepare, just waiting for the wedding on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival.

In order to welcome the bride on the wedding day, Chang Zhengyang suppressed his restlessness and had to move back to Courtyard 93. Wang Qianwen was no exception and temporarily moved back to her own courtyard.

The problem is that the two houses are separated by just a wall, so how can they hold the wedding reception?

Could it be that he just walked out of the gate, took a few steps, entered Wang Qianwen's small yard, and led her out?

No, this is too sloppy and lacks a sense of ceremony!

Chang Zhengyang pondered for a whole night and finally came up with a method that has been talked about in the alleys for decades, which is to go far away instead of near.

How can we go far away instead of near?

When he expressed his thoughts, everyone was amazed.

It turned out that what he meant by "going the long way instead of the near" was to walk out of the house to the east, go around and enter the alley from the west end, and then go into Wang Qianwen's small courtyard to pick her up.

Since Courtyard 76 was at the west end, after picking up Wang Qianwen, the team could not turn around as that would be a bad omen, so they had to exit from the east end, make a circle, and then come in from the west end, heading straight to their wedding house, Courtyard 76.

So on the morning of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, people in the alley saw something strange.

Thirty-six bicycles with big red flowers tied to the handlebars, all ridden by young and old men, paraded through Nanluoguxiang twice.

Chang Zhengyang was standing at the front with his head held high, a big red flower tied on his chest. Wang Qianwen had a small red flower on her head. She hugged Chang Zhengyang's waist tightly, with her face pressed against his back. Her face was flushed, and no one knew if it was because she had applied too much vanishing cream, or because of the cold wind, or because she was shy...

She also didn't expect that Chang Zhengyang, who was usually steady, would do this today.

Wang Qianwen quietly pinched the soft flesh on Chang Zhengyang's waist, squeezed it hard and said: "I'm going to kill you, making such a big noise, it's so embarrassing..."

"This is the most important thing in my life. How can I be careless? Comrades, ride one more lap!"

Chang Zhengyang turned around and shouted to the back, and a group of young men who were not afraid of trouble agreed and immediately decided to ride another round.

The mute Zhang in the convoy seemed to be infected by this emotion, his eyes were full of smiles. Adjutant Zhang and the man with black glasses, who were forced to conscript, shook their heads and smiled bitterly.

Especially with black glasses, his iconic black leather jacket wrapped inside a woolen coat makes him look even more uncomfortable.

After riding around the alley again, the cycling team finally stopped in front of the gate of No. 76 courtyard.

At this time, everyone in the yard was laughing so hard that they couldn't stop. Everyone was made to laugh and cry by Chang Zhengyang's behavior.

The yard was crowded with people, and when they saw the groom finally coming back with the bride, they all applauded.

Relatives and friends of the old Chang family, as well as friends of Chang Zhengyang and Wang Qianwen, filled the yard.

Fortunately, the yard is big enough, about 300 square meters, so about 180 people can move around.

However, the elders and important guests were all in the main room, eating melon seeds and chatting, and they didn't crowd with the young people outside.

At today's wedding, the neighbors in the alley finally got to see Chang Zhengyang's connections.

Not to mention several leaders from the subdistrict office, leaders of high rank came from the district, city, even the ministry, and the army.

Of course, these leaders just came over to congratulate, grabbed a handful of peanuts, melon seeds, and fruit candies and left.

Among these leaders, the one with the highest status is Old Zhao, who has been promoted to the first-ranked deputy minister and is at the ministerial level. In fact, he is General Hu, Xiao Hu's father, Lieutenant General Zhang Qishan, and Major General Wang, the father of the fat boy.

The morning passed in such a bustling atmosphere. At noon, as the guests left one after another, Courtyard 76 finally returned to peace.

After lunch, Chang Zhengyang and Wang Qianwen closed the gate, looked at the messy house, looked at each other, and smiled bitterly.

The mess does not mean it is dirty, but the gifts given by the guests are piled up in a mess.

Although the gifts were not expensive, the quantity was huge!

Wang Qianwen held a small notebook in her hand and registered the guests according to the information on it. Chang Zhengyang was responsible for finding the things, classifying the same things, and putting them in the garage.

After cleaning up the physical objects, the next step is to open the red envelopes and write down the name and amount of each person who gave the red envelope. These are favors and must be repaid in the future when there are weddings or funerals.

This was a very boring job, and it took the two of them half an hour to sort out the money in the red envelopes.

Most of the neighbors gave one yuan, those who were close gave five yuan, and a few even gave ten yuan, like He Yuzhu and Xu Damao.

All the relatives, including the leading cadres, were given a big unity card.

As for his colleagues at Institute 607, Chang Zhengyang had informed them in advance that they were not allowed to give red envelopes to each other, and that they were just required to bring a pound of peanuts and melon seeds.

As the director, the top leader of the institute, he must set a good example. As long as he does this, no other leader in the institute will dare to use weddings or funerals to collect money from his subordinates.

Don't think that officials these days are so clean; many of them just don't dare to be corrupt blatantly.

There are many people who make money through weddings and funerals.

They went directly to No. 93 Courtyard for dinner. It was so close to their parents' home, and there were only two people in their small family, so there was no need to cook separately.

When they came back from dinner, there were two little tails following them.

Originally, Zhuzhu wanted to sleep in Yard 76, but she was afraid of sleeping alone, so she dragged Chang Wanyue to sleep there with her.

The whole family was at a loss as to what to do with her, so they had to let her do what she wanted. Fortunately, the No. 76 courtyard had all the bedding and daily necessities, so the two sisters came here empty-handed.

In fact, Ms. Guo didn’t want her two sisters to go because she wanted to have a grandson as soon as possible!

But there are some things that cannot be told to children directly. Ms. Guo thought that the children were just looking for the novelty, and once the novelty wore off, she would definitely have to move back, so she just accepted it.
