Chapter 636 Marriage 4
When the newlywed couple Lin Yu and Su Yu walked into Courtyard No. 98, Fang Yuandong and the old leader were standing in the courtyard of the middle yard with a smile on their faces.
Lin Yu stood at attention and raised his hand to salute and say hello: "Hello, Chief."
The old commander smiled and said after returning the gift: "Today is your big day. On behalf of all the officers and soldiers of our army, Xiao Fang and I wish you a happy marriage and a son soon."
After Lin Yu thanked him repeatedly, he invited the old leader and Fang Yuandong, who was looking at him happily, into the living room.
At this time, Su Yu had been accompanied by Lin Nan and Huang Ying into the new house. Little Lin Zhou and Little Sun Ming were rolling around on the bed covered with a bright red bedspread, and they kept shouting, "Press the bed, press the bed."
Lin Nan stretched out his hands and grabbed the two little guys' ears, scolding them with a smile: "I let you two press the bed, but I don't want you to mess around on it. Okay, go out and play."
The two little guys happily climbed out of bed, put on their shoes, and ran out shouting.
The originally spacious living room was now filled with distinguished guests who came to celebrate. In addition to the old chief, Deputy Army Commander Fang Yuandong, Commander Yang, Political Commissar Qiao and others, there were also five military bigwigs that Lin Yu had met in the Beidaihe sanatorium. Each of them had a golden star shining on his shoulder. Director Wan and Deputy Director Yao of the Municipal Bureau also appeared in the living room. As for Qin Ming, he and Deputy Minister Sun had already arrived in the yard and greeted other guests who came to congratulate.
Sun Yong walked into the living room and came to Lin Yu who was sitting at the eight-immortal table. He asked in a low voice: "Brother, it's almost time. Should we invite all the distinguished guests to take their seats?"
Without waiting for Lin Yu to answer, Zhou Tian, who had been standing silently beside him, said, "Wait a moment, the witness will be here soon."
Although the two men's voices were not loud, many people still heard their conversation and were secretly surprised. Everyone present today was a powerful figure. Originally, everyone thought that Lin Yu would invite the old leader to be the witness, after all, the relationship between the two was not ordinary. But what no one expected was that the witness was someone else. So everyone talked in a low voice while waiting silently, wanting to see who could serve as the witness.
Less than five minutes later, Zhou Tian leaned close to Lin Yu's ear and whispered, "That person will be here soon."
Lin Yu immediately stood up and said with a smile: "Excuse me for a moment, I'm going to greet a distinguished guest."
The old leader smiled and stood up: "Let's go, let's go and greet them together."
So everyone followed Lin Yu and walked towards the gate together. Some guests who were originally sitting at the eight-immortal table in the yard drinking tea and chatting, saw this scene, and couldn't help but stand up and follow out. Of course, they knew that the person who could be greeted by so many powerful leaders, how could he be an ordinary person?
At this time, there were fewer people watching the excitement on the street outside No. 98. After all, many people still needed to go home to prepare lunch. Those who were still standing on the street were chatting with acquaintances beside them with great interest, while looking at the courtyard opposite with curiosity from time to time.
When Lin Yu and the guests appeared at the gate, they immediately attracted the attention of those onlookers.
A black sedan slowly drove along the street and stopped in front of the gate of Courtyard No. 98.
As soon as the car stopped, Director Wan, who was standing in the crowd, saw a familiar middle-aged man push open the door of the passenger seat. After getting out of the car, he did not walk towards the people waiting in front of the gate, but turned around and opened the back door of the car. It was not until then that he realized that this person was Director Ye. When Lin Yu moved to a new house last year, Director Ye had come on behalf of the two to present two handwritten inscriptions.
An old man with gray hair and a thin face appeared in front of everyone. The leaders present were of course very familiar with the old man in a dark gray Zhongshan suit who had just stepped out of the car. Everyone's heart was filled with shock. Although they had been guessing who would be the witness today, no one had expected that it would be this gentleman.
Yu Lin, accompanied by Zhou Tian, came over with a faint smile on his face.
Mr. Z stretched out his skinny hand, shook Lin Yu's hand and said with a smile: "Today is Consultant Lin's big day, I'm a little late."
Lin Yu smiled and said, "On behalf of my family, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Mr. Z for taking the time to visit us."
Mr. Z turned to look at Zhou Tian, who was standing aside with a calm expression, and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhou, today is the wedding of Consultant Lin. It is truly a cause for celebration."
Zhou Tian's expression remained the same, he just smiled slightly: "Thank you Mr. Z for coming, please come in." Then he made an inviting gesture.
At this time, Director Ye handed a long brocade box in his hand to Mr. Z, who took it and handed it directly to Lin Yu: "Mr. M specifically asked me to bring this calligraphy to wish Consultant Lin a happy wedding."
After thanking him, Lin Yu handed it directly to Zhou Tian, and then the few of them walked towards the door.
After shaking hands with the leaders who came to greet him one by one, Mr. Z walked into the gate of the courtyard surrounded by the crowd.
A crowd standing by the street watching the excitement suddenly burst into a scream: "That's Mr. Z!"
Hearing this voice, many people nearby also reacted. Yes, the old man who just walked into the courtyard of No. 98 was Mr. Z from the State Council. So, waves of endless discussions suddenly rang out. No one thought that they would see that gentleman appear here with their own eyes today.
He Yuzhu, who had just slipped out of the kitchen to watch the fun, wanted to run into the kitchen and said excitedly to He Daqing, who was sitting on a bench smoking and taking a break, "Dad, guess who I saw just now?"
As many ingredients had been soaked several days ago and some dishes that needed to be stewed had already been put on the stove, He Daqing was not too busy today. The cold dishes for six tables had already been served on the table, and they would start cooking immediately after the wedding ceremony. He Daqing took the opportunity to take a break, as cooking these six tables of dishes would be no small task.
Hearing his son's words, He Daqing couldn't help but glare at him and reprimanded him in a low voice: "Among the people who can come to the secretary's wedding banquet today, except for the directors and deputy directors of our security department and Director Wang of the street office, who else is not a big leader? How could I have guessed it?"
He Yuzhu grabbed the teacup beside him and drank it in one gulp. He calmed down his excitement and said excitedly, "Dad, the secretary and others went out to greet us just now. I followed behind to watch the excitement. Do you know who they were welcoming? It was Mr. Z."
He Daqing widened his eyes in surprise: "Say it again, did I hear it wrong?"
He Yuzhu didn't say anything, but just nodded very seriously.
