Chapter 718 On the Wedding
Song Huaiming knew that Chu Zhennan's attitude towards him suddenly changed for this reason, not because Chu Zhennan really forgave him. He knew more about his father-in-law's painstaking efforts. Chu Zhennan didn't want him to be separated from Yanran forever.
Chu Zhennan held Yanran's hand. Until now, Chu Yanran still didn't know how to face her father. If her grandfather hadn't forced her and her father to face it like this, she would have chosen to avoid it. Chu Zhennan said, "In the past, I have never been convinced of old age, but after all, I am old. When I grow up day by day, I can manage such a large consortium. I don't need to worry about it, but in my eyes, she is still a child, and I still can't rest assured."
Song Huaiming smiled and said, "Dad, in the eyes of parents, whether the children grow up or not, they are always children."
Chu Zhennan said, "In retro for the past ten years, I have tried my best to protect Yanran. I want her to grow up healthily, and I will do my best to protect her."
Song Huaiming said with emotion, "Dad, you have done a good job!"
Chu Zhennan shook his head. He whispered, "It's not good enough. Do you know why I want you to come here?"
Although Song Huaiming understood it in his heart, he didn't say it.
Chu Zhennan said, "Since Jingzhi's death, I have blamed you for her death, and therefore refused to let you take care of Yanran. It can be said that the gap between you and Yanran is caused by me."
Song Huaiming said, "Dad, don't mention it after so many years."
Chu Zhennan said, "I finally found out that I was wrong. I shouldn't have deprived you of your rights as a father because of Jingzhi. Yanran has lost her maternal love, and I let her lose her father's love. I'm sorry for Yanran."
Chu Yanran said with tears, "Dear grandfather, don't say that. I have been happy for more than ten years."
Chu Zhennan shook his head: "Mother's love is irreplaceable, and father's love is also irreplaceable." He turned his eyes to Song Huaiming and said, "As a father, I have the responsibility to protect my daughter."
Song Huaiming nodded vigorously and said, "I will protect Yanran."
Chu Zhennan smiled and said, "It's time to return this responsibility to you."
Chu Yanran said, "Dance, I can take care of myself."
Chu Zhennan smiled and said, "I believe that my concern for you is selfless. It's not only me who really cares about you in the world, but also your father." He took his granddaughter's hand, solemnly put it in Song Huaiming's palm, and held their hands together.
Chu Yanran originally resisted, but her grandfather's persistence made her have to do so. Her father's big hand was very warm, which made her feel secure and gave her a sense of security. Chu Yanran raised her head and met her father's kind eyes, and her heart trembled for no reason.
Song Huaiming looked at his daughter and whispered, "I'm sorry!"
Chu Yanran clenched her lips and forced herself not to shed tears.
Chu Zhennan said, "Yanran, he will always be your father!"
Chu Yanran nodded and whispered, "Dad!" Although the voice was very low, the sound hit the most delicate part of Song Huaiming's heart like a bullet. Song Huaiming, who had never easily expressed his feelings in front of people, his eyes turned red at this time, and his eyes flashed with tears. Over the years, he has been looking forward to his daughter to recognize his father all the time, and Yu became a reality. Song Huaiming couldn't even believe his ears. He couldn't believe that all this was true.
Song Huaiming clenched his daughter's hand: "Good daughter..." His voice trembled a little.
Chu Zhennan patted the back of Yanran's hand and whispered, "Yangran, you go out to help decorate. Your father and I have something to say alone."
Chu Yanran got up and left. There were only Song Huaiming and Chu Zhennan left in the room. Song Huaiming said, "Dad, thank you!"
Chu Zhennan sighed and said, "People are about to die. I don't have much time, and I finally figured out a lot of things. Whether I forgive you or not, I can't deny the fact that you are Yanran's father. I have no right to deprive Yanran of the father's love she deserves.
Song Huaiming knew that Chu Zhennan did not really forgive himself. He whispered, "Dad, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Yanran."
Chu Zhennan said, "I can't rest assured. Although Zhang Yang has just proposed to her, I still can't trust this boy."
Song Huaiming said, "He is uncertain, but with me, he dares not bully my daughter!"
Chu Zhennan said, "There is something I always want to ask you. In those years, why did you insist on letting Jingzhi stay?"
Song Huaiming was speechless. He squeezed his lips, and the expression on his face was extremely painful. Suddenly, he knelt down in front of Chu Zhennan: "I'm sorry, Dad! If I had thought more about Jingzhi at that time, it would not have happened. I just wanted party members and cadres to lead by example. I was afraid that others would gossip, so..."
Chu Zhennan shook his head and said, "Do you want others to say that you are selfless, and you want to add chips for your political future?"
Song Huaiming said with red eyes, "Dad, I really didn't think of my political future in that situation at that time. I swear!"
Chu Zhennan said, "Get up, I won't mention this matter again. If you are really good to Jingzhi, then take good care of Yanran and don't let her be hurt in any way."
"I promise!"
Zhang Yang and everyone arranged in the living room. There was a string of red lanterns hanging in the room, and there was a string of red peppers and golden corn on the wall. Margaret was arranging the wedding scene according to her past memory. The old lady sat on the sofa and cut the happy pair with her own hands.
Chen Chongshan entered the small building accompanied by Xie Zhiguo. The scene in front of him surprised him. With everyone's joint efforts, it almost became the revolutionary base in those years. Margaret put down the scissors and greeted Chen Chongshan with a smile, "Lao Chen, welcome to our wedding!"
Chen Chongshan nodded vigorously. On the way, Xie Zhiguo had told him everything.
Hong Changwu came in with a stack of clothes in his arms. This was the Eighth Route Army uniform he specially borrowed from the art troupe. Hong Changwu said to Chu Yanran, "Yanran, give these clothes to everyone!"
Chu Yanran took it over and distributed the military uniform to everyone. Everyone changed into the eighth-way military uniform. Chu Yanran tied up two braids, and Chen Chongshan demonstrated how to tie her legs on the spot.
After changing his military uniform, Chu Zhennan came out of the room and looked energetic. He strode to Chen Chongshan, happily holding Chen Chongshan's hands and said, "Book nerd, you're finally here!"
Chen Chongshan smiled and said, "How can I not come to your marriage? Where's the bride?"
Chu Yanran smiled and said, "The bride went to the room to dress up!"
Chu Zhennan looked around the small building and muttered, "It seems that something is missing?"
Chen Chongshan said, "The portrait of Chairman Mao is missing!"
Chu Zhennan said: "Yes, right, Changwu, go quickly! And! Party flag! Party flag!"
Zhang Yang hung up the lantern and got off the escalator. Although the work was not heavy, his forehead was full of sweat. In order to wake up Chu Zhennan, he lost a lot of power this time, and it took quite a long time to recover.
Chu Yanran saw that he was sweating profusely and walked over sadly. She helped him wipe the sweat off his forehead with a white lamb tripe towel.
Zhang Yang wiped his sweat and put on his military cap again.
Chu Zhennan came over, solemnly helped Zhang Yang buckle the wind buckle, and helped him straighten his military cap. Sheng Ruohong Zhong said, "Being a soldier must look like a soldier!"
Zhang Yangpa! The ground stood upright and saluted the south of Chu Zhen, saying, "Yes! Chief!" "
Chu Zhennan laughed. He re-slapped Zhang Yang on the shoulder and said, "Okay! This is just like my granddaughter-in-law!"
Song Huaiming also came out in military uniform, but Chu Zhennan was quite dissatisfied with his dress. He shook his head, came to Song Huaiming and helped him tidy up his clothes: "You, you have no military temperament at all!" In fact, this is also the reason why Chu Zhennan was dissatisfied with Song Huaiming, the son-in-law, who wanted his daughter to marry a real soldier.
Chen Chongshan called Song Huaiming over and taught him how to tie his legs.
Grey military uniform, white cotton socks, round cloth shoes, bright red party flag, red peppers, golden corn, the small building seemed to shuttle through time and space in an instant, and came to the era of war.
In the cheers of everyone, Margaret wore a red cotton-padded jacket, a dark blue tweed skirt, a braid like Chu Yanran, a gray military hat, and a bright red five-star on the military hat. She walked to Chu Zhennan in the company of her granddaughter.
Chu Zhennan looked at Margaret with infinite affection in his eyes. He seemed to see the beautiful and affectionate female reporter in those years. The vicissitudes of time changed their faces, but he could not change the deep affection in their hearts that was comparable to Jin Jian.
The two stood together, standing in front of Chairman Mao's portrait, under the bright red party banner.
Chen Chongshan shouted with excitement: "I declare that the transnational wedding of Comrade Chu Zhennan and Miss Margaret has officially begun!"
Applause, firecrackers and laughter are intertwined to make this ordinary night warm and romantic.
Chen Chongshan said, "Comrade Chu Zhennan, would you like to marry Margaret? Love her and be loyal to her, whether she is poor, sick or disabled, until her death, are you willing?
Chu Zhennan nodded vigorously: "Yes, I do!"
Chen Chongshan said to Margaret, "Margaret, would you like to marry Chu Zhennan? Love him and be loyal to him, whether he is poor, sick or disabled, until he dies? Would you like to?"
Margaret smiled and said, "I do. I have loved him with my life. I will always be loyal to him. Whether he is rich or poor, whether he is proud or frustrated, whether he lives or dies, there is nothing in the world that can separate us..." When Margaret said this, she cried. The water has fallen. It has fallen.
Chu Zhennan held Margaret's hand, and Margaret said gently, "Am I beautiful?"
Chu Zhennan nodded excitedly: "You are the most beautiful bride in the world!"
