Volume 2 Strange Place Chapter 62 Mass Wedding

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Before dawn, relatives and friends called me to urge me to get up early.  Yu Zhe ignored the exercise and started to tidy up. Just after seven o'clock, he got into the van with his father-in-law, wife and son, including the pet fat cat who was often invisible during this period.  All the residents of Ski Village came out to support and formed a convoy of hundreds of vehicles to set off for the Agnew Spaceport.

    For the Agnew people, the wedding of Yu Zhe and Diaka is a big event. Maintenance engineers at the Agnew Spaceport began inspecting the six passenger spacecraft at five in the morning.  The wedding attendees arrived at the landing pad without delay. After counting their number, they boarded the spacecraft and set off for their destination.  []

    The ship was traveling very fast, and just after half past eight, the Wesson Spaceport appeared in front of us.  To the consternation of the family and friends, the spaceport's No. 1 and No. 2 landing pads were full of spaceships, and six of our own spacecraft could only land at No. 3 landing pad. The scale of the collective wedding may be much larger than imagined.  When we left the space port, the staff said that the public shuttle bus was full, so we asked him to wait, which further confirmed this speculation.

    "Are there many people getting married today?" Yu Zhe asked Walikama.

    Vali was a little confused, "Probably not. I asked friends in Dongzhou, Xizhou and Beizhou, and there were not many people going to Locker Hotel for weddings. Ah, could it be that Mr. Zhuang is coming over, let's all come together  join in the fun?"

    Yu Zhe muttered, "Maybe it was arranged by various departments. I just had a whim at the beginning and never thought of joining in the fun."

    Diaka chuckled and said: "Thank you for joining in the fun, otherwise I wouldn't be able to bear it."

    There was laughter all around, and everyone was discussing the reason for the sudden increase in weddings, but no clue was found. Maybe it had something to do with Mr. Zhuang, maybe it had nothing to do with it.  New Year's Day is a good day. Shantouxing is rich. Although the Rocker Hotel is expensive, the divorce rate in Shantouxing is extremely low. Most people only have one chance in their lifetime. It is entirely possible to bite the bullet and use up their savings to hold a wedding.

    Time passed by minute by minute. Just when the crowd was anxiously preparing to choose the subway, the public shuttle bus arrived like the wind. I was overjoyed that I would not be late at last.  Normally it's fine for a walk, but today everyone was wearing formal clothes, so it wasn't suitable for long walks.

    At 8:50, a group of nearly two thousand relatives and friends finally arrived at the Rocker Hotel.  The scene in front of me was very spectacular. There were brides and grooms wearing all kinds of wedding clothes everywhere. Mao estimated that there were at least five thousand pairs.  The tables and chairs in Wesson Square are neatly arranged, as far as the eye can see.  There are many new faces among the hotel staff who are being divided, and they should be coming from the Dongzhou and Xizhou branches.  Rocker Travel Group is one of the large enterprises in Shantou Star, covering all aspects of catering, entertainment and tourism. Rocker Hotel has chain hotels in Dongzhou, Xizhou and Beizhou, and in Nanzhou and Luntzhou.  It is under construction and there will still be some time before it is officially open for business.

    In the past, Yu Zhe would definitely have thought it over carefully, but that didn¡¯t work today. He went straight to the busy general manager Montparnasse.  The two met three years ago, and one of the guys who joined in the fun and gave gifts when Yu Zhe got married was Montparnasse, so he was not polite and asked directly why.

    "I don't know what happened. It turns out that everyone who was planning to hold a wedding at the hotel chain came to the Wesson Square headquarters. I got up at around four in the morning and have been busy until now." Montparnasse complained.

    Yu Zhe was surprised, "No way? You are a powerful general manager, don't lie to me."

    Montparnasse waved his hands repeatedly, "Oh, big boss, how could I lie to you? Please give me a break, I'm very busy."

    There were huge crowds of people outside, and there were beads of sweat on the general manager¡¯s forehead. Yu Zhe didn¡¯t bother and went to the second floor to find the director of the wedding service center.  As soon as he went up the stairs, there was a roar of mountains and tsunami in Wesson Square, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.  There were so many people today, and anything could happen with so many people. He didn't take it seriously and continued to climb the stairs.  When we arrived on the second floor, we found that the makeshift wedding service center was full of ecstatic people. Unable to remain calm any longer, we grabbed the hotel waiter and asked him carefully.

    "You don't know yet? Zongren Mansion released a big news on the website at nine o'clock sharp." The waiter said.

    Yu Zhe asked: "What's the big news?"

    The waiter was speechless, "You can check the website. I have something else to do, sorry."

    The management of Rocker Hotel is very strict. Yu Zhe has been to Shantouxing for almost five years and has never encountered such a situation. He was curious and quickly took out his mobile phone to visit the Zongren Mansion website.

    "Compared with a week ago, there is an additional document in the information release column of the website. To be precise, it is not a document, but a "Interim Plan for Marriage and Childbirth Subsidies for Family Members" signed by Mr. Zhuang himself.  The name of the interim plan is very simple, but the content is very attractive.

    "Since the date of the family meeting, that is, November 16, 2872, each pair of family members who receive a marriage certificate will be subsidized by the family common fund with 500,000 Shantuan as the wedding fee. The parents of the newborn will submit the birth certificate to the family common fund of the Zongren Mansion.  Receive birth certificate at the management office??Subsidies are NT$1 million for the Ife people; NT$2 million for the Lunte people; NT$1.5 million for the Gotina people; and NT$1.2 million for the Kabamba people.  See the attachment for details.  "

    There is also a line of small words above the signer, "This plan is valid while I am alive and will not wait until it expires."

    Yu Zhe couldn¡¯t laugh or cry. The old man actually played the temptation of naked profit. I don¡¯t know when he will die. It is conceivable that the next few years will be the peak period of marriage and childbirth in Shantou Xing.  The family mutual fund is his private property, and no one else has the right to interfere with how he wants to distribute it, unless he signs a document to transfer the ownership of the family mutual fund to the Ministry of Civil Security.

    The wedding service center was in chaos for a while, but soon returned to normal. Some people were dejected, while others were extremely happy.  Yu Zhe didn't care so much. After discussing with the supervisor in charge of his wedding preparations, he went downstairs to meet his relatives and friends.

    "Teacher Zhuang is playing population war again." Walikama said.

    Just as Yu Zhe was about to speak, Qu Long pushed the handsome guy Vali away and said, "Go aside, no matter what the population war is, it's always a good thing to have money to share. Don't wait until it's overdue. You're happy. Yu Zhe, we've all caught up. Unlike  Some people can only think about it.¡±

    Xia Ze was indignant on the side, "Bullying people, right? How could anyone add fuel to the fire like you? God, please give me a wife. It's pity that I'm so talented, but I'm still a bachelor."

    The group of relatives and friends burst into laughter, and Lagueta said: "It's because of your high demands and your personality that few girls can rest assured."

    Xia Zeze scratched his head hard, "Is it because of my identity?"

    Su Dan interfaced, "My identity problem is bigger. I haven't found a wife yet. So it can be seen that it is your own problem. Don't blame everything on politics."

    There were so many people in agreement that Xia Ze had no choice but to step aside and listen to the crowd discussing the details of the interim plan.  Old man Zhuang's decision is different from that of Min'an Mansion and Cathay Mansion. It is not a government announcement and he does not need to be responsible to anyone.  The details are very precise and consistent with the clan rules, so there are very few loopholes that can be exploited.  Changing the time of marriage and childbirth to defraud subsidies can only be thought of, and no one knew that he would do such a thing.

    ¡°I estimate that after the new year, the clan government will release a new subsidy plan for all family members,¡± Feis said.

    Walikama immediately supported, "Yes, everyone has a share of the family mutual fund money, and they must be treated equally. Besides, there are many people born before the family meeting. It is difficult for people to feel comfortable if they lose one million or even two million a day.  .¡±

    Zeyani interrupted, "The money in the family mutual fund belongs to Mr. Zhuang, so don't mess with it. Judging from the fact that both the Wigo and Wika families can also get subsidies, the family mutual fund has industries in Godina and Kabamba.  , the Federation must have it, at least half of this wealth was not created by the four generations of Guotai Minan, let alone the descendants of the earth."

    Vali was at a loss for words. Braz came to the rescue for his friend and asked Ibakula: "Is there any action from the D&E Investment Fund clan?"

    Ibakula shook his head, "I don't know, the Federation is still in a hostile state, and the D&E investment fund has been almost emptied by others. It is a paper tiger. There is no possibility that the Federation Army's Strategic Star Village teacher will be returned. Although he  I don¡¯t care much about money, but I won¡¯t suffer from dumb losses. The Cathay Fleet and the Civilian Fleet have no strategic stars except the immovable Weiguo Star, so I just need to use it. I think what Faith said makes sense. The family mutual fund will have 10% chance after the new year*  * will implement dividends for all employees. It would be a waste to have so much money sitting idle. It is better to invest it in the market to free up idle strategic reserves."

    Yu Zhe said: "I always feel that Shantouxing is not short of money now, but that there are too few people and too many supplies. It seems that there is no shortage of everything."

    Ibakula scratched his head in pain, "I have never encountered such a situation when I was studying economics. The proportion of food, clothing, housing and transportation expenses in Shantou Star is very low, and the gap between rich and poor is very small. Last year's Engel coefficient was 9%.  The Gini coefficient is 0.12. In theory, it is almost dead, but in reality, it is completely opposite and full of vitality.¡±

    Walikama smiled and said: "The Engel coefficient of Yu Zhe's family is definitely more than 9%. I even suspect that his family's Engel coefficient is over 60%."

    The crowd laughed together, and Qu Long said: "The Lunt people do eat too much and are not easy to maintain. Warriors and warriors eat more. The five major legions of the Wei Kingdom consume more food than the other legions combined. Fortunately, it is not  You are a loser. I suspect that the real purpose of Shanyang Mansion¡¯s desperate research on biotechnology is to easily support the people of Lunt Continent.¡±

    Bratz interfaced, ¡°Agnew and Masabubu are both very strong in biological research, probably because of their stomachs.¡±

    Everyone was talking to each other, and soon the topic turned to the issue of Lunt people eating, and they were chatting lively together.  Yu Zhe smiled bitterly at Diaka, who chuckled. She didn't eat much.

    The weather is good today. The winter sunshine is very warm. Outdoor banquets are not a problem. Of course, with the technical capabilities of Shantouxing, the weather can always be good in the 10,000 square kilometers centered on the ancestral temple.  Weddings are a lot of trivial matters.After listening to the chat for a while, Zhe took Diaka everywhere to receive the guests who arrived one after another.  He was wearing the traditional wedding clothes of the Tabersrent people today, as was Diaka. The two of them stood out among thousands of brides and grooms.  Diaka was a little restrained at first, but then she gradually adapted and socialized with her husband.

    Wesson Plaza is crowded with people. The smallest group of relatives and friends has about a hundred people, and the largest one is Yu Zhe's, which is over 80,000.  More and more people were joining in the fun. At a quarter to ten o'clock, nearly two million people had gathered in Wilson Plaza, which made the staff of the Rocker Hotel feel guilty.

    The arrival of Old Man Zhuang pushed the atmosphere of the scene to a climax. In addition to the senior officials and staff of the Zongren Mansion, there were also a large number of transport vehicles with him.  Millions of people eating and drinking are beyond what Rocker Hotel can handle. The reason why the hotel management dared to take such a large order has something to do with their boss. The largest shareholder of Rocker Tourism Group is Zongrenfu.

    Old man Zhuang led the senior officials around to visit the newlyweds and give them red envelopes and small gifts. The ordinary staff of the Zongren Mansion were very busy placing fruits, snacks and other food on the dining table.  Some of the people watching the live broadcast in front of the TV were beating their chests. They knew they had gritted their teeth earlier. Although the Rocker Hotel is expensive, there will always be some advantages when there are more people. Now it's better, the red envelope is gone.  It is impossible for the old man to give less red envelopes, not to mention small gifts that can be shown off in the future.

    The large number of newcomers and guests requires sufficient service personnel. Although Shantouxing has many robots, the hotel rarely uses robots. Staff from the branches of Zongren Mansion came on stage as guest waiters, including Lanzhi and Lanying.  Hundreds of thousands of tables were busy, and almost everyone was exhausted.

    After Yu Zhe finished his work, he found that there was one more follower of Mr. Zhuang. He knew Jilongjia. He didn't know who the other one was, but from the look on Jilongjia's face, he was definitely not a small role. The other one was most likely Ge.  Members of the royal family of Dina.  Zilonga is in his early twenties, and his companion is even younger, appearing to be a teenager. Shantou Xing's camouflage technology is so advanced that his racial identity cannot be completely determined based on his facial and body features alone.

    "Who's next to Zilonga?" Zeyani gently poked the entranced big man.

    Yu Zhe was surprised, "You actually know Jilonga?"

    Zeyani said: "He visited the Federal Academy of Sciences in Iifo with Radamosh. He was not disguised today and I recognized him at a glance."

    Yu Zhe shook his head, "I don't know. I will definitely introduce him when Teacher Zhuang comes over."

    Zeyani was puzzled, "Given your relationship with Teacher Zhuang, he should come to us first."

    Yu Zhe bared his teeth, "I'm sorry, Teacher Zhuang came here at dusk yesterday, but he only stayed for less than ten minutes and left."

    Zeyani suddenly realized it, and then became a little confused, "Why does he like to take foreign followers so much?"

    Yu Zhe said: "Thunder Bay, Li Bingrong, Li Yunge, Wuyiai, Li Xiaoqi, Li Weisheng, Shan Lanying, Shan Lanzhi, Gai You, Li **, etc. were all his followers."

    "How do you know?" Walikama interjected.

    Yu Zhe laughed, "Do you think Mr. Pi Di is just talking? I know a lot of things, such as the ins and outs of the 'Six Book Boys' Siltu, Laila Pula, Wu Ai Yi, Li Wei Sheng, Bian Shun and Yin Ronghua.  Like the Thunder Bay experience, etc.¡±

    Walikama was a little unhappy, "Why didn't you tell me when I asked before? And you lied to me and said you didn't know!"

    Yu Zhe smiled and said: "I only found out last year. Besides, aren't you hiding something from me? For example, your father and grandfather."

    Vali was furious, "I'm very busy all day long. Unlike you, you never asked me."

    Zeyani was busy making peace, "Okay, okay, don't argue, everyone has secrets." After saying that, he said thoughtfully, "According to what you said, Teacher Zhuang actually doesn't have any preference. Familiarity and compatibility are the first choices for the students."  One element.¡±

    Yu Zhe nodded, "Yes, whether it is public or private, it is often impossible to know a person's true thoughts when the amount of information is not enough, especially for people like Teacher Zhuang who like to hide things and work hard."

    "Why do I like to hide it?" Old Man Zhuang's voice came from nearby.

    Mr. Pi Di, who was pretending to be sophisticated, was in a panic and was at a loss.  Old man Zhuang walked over with his two followers and Kalemi. There seemed to be no bodyguards. People along the way greeted him and were a little worried.  The two followers are both minors. Kalemmi is small in stature, and his movements are full of elegance. He is obviously an intelligent character.

    "I always talk to people and talk to ghosts. Sometimes I'm long-winded, sometimes concise. I don't talk much when I'm very busy. And I basically never have a busy time. It's not that I like to hide it." Old man Zhuang smiled.  say.

    Yu Zhe was embarrassed, and Qu Long came to the rescue for his friend, "We have little contact with you, and we have little contact with you.Most of it comes from listening to what others say. Everyone has a different opinion. As time goes by, it becomes that you like to hide it.  "

    Old man Zhuang laughed loudly, "Everyone speaks for himself, the explanation is approved, today is another happy day, I won't care about it."

    Audiences near and far were speechless, old and young, and it was indeed true.  Qu Long added: "Ancestor, you are too kind to one and the other. Remember that Yu Zhe got married, and the others didn't even say hello."

    Old man Zhuang chuckled, "Everyone can ask questions, what's the solution?"

    Qu Long is speechless. This seems to be an unsolvable problem. There are too many descendants and they are widely implicated. If everyone is greeted, the old man will not be able to survive.

    Old man Zhuang took the initiative to help Qu Long, "So I came up with this idea. In order to balance other people's ideas, the Zongren Mansion will inject capital into the social security fund under the Min'an Mansion tomorrow. Everyone gets married before the family meeting is held and in  Couples living on Shantou Star will receive a marriage subsidy of 250,000 Shantou Yuan.¡±

    ¡°What about maternity subsidies?¡± Qu Long asked.

    Old man Zhuang said: "Isn't it fair to decrease the average life span of each department by one equal fraction every year until all deductions are made?"

    The simultaneous live broadcast brought the old man¡¯s words to all parts of Shantou Planet. The planet was filled with joy and countless people applauded.  It's better to do some good than just talk empty words. The old man obviously understood the essence of it and captured the hearts of most people at once.

    Qu Long had nothing to say, and Old Man Zhuang had no time to chat, because it was almost twelve o'clock and he had to eat.  In the remaining few minutes, the master of ceremonies of the collective wedding asked Mr. Zhuang to speak.

    The old man waved his hand, "Don't make a mistake. I'm not the protagonist today. I've already said what I need to say."

    The master of ceremonies had no choice but to say some words of blessing himself, and then announced the start of the banquet.  Guests were seated one after another. Millions of people were dining together. It was a spectacular sight. The Rocker Hotel dispatched an aircraft to conduct all-round video recording.  This is a rare advertising background that cannot be missed.

    The tables placed in Wesson Square are all standard ten-person tables. Old man Zhuang and his two followers sat with Yu Zhe's family, plus old man You Jin and old man Saltner.  The three old friends talked happily, with Yi Kazan and Li Lai interjecting a few words from time to time.  The others listened for a while and found that what the three old men said were old antiques. They were too lazy to listen anymore and just chatted on their own.

    "Let me introduce myself, Ge Hongtao. My grandfather Ge is kind-hearted. I am very lucky to attend the wedding of Brother Yu Zhe and Sister Dia." said the young man.

    Yu Zhe thought to himself, he is indeed from Weige, so he was busy being polite.  Ge Hongtao is very polite, and he is not pretending. If you look closely, his movements have been strictly trained. Although he has not grown up, he already has a vague royal style.  The Qi nourishes the body, and the education has been strict and open for a long time. As long as you are not stupid, it is difficult to think or succeed.

    There were so many people that the Rocker Hotel had to use robots to deliver meals in a targeted manner according to the guests at each table. The dishes were more or less, but the total value was basically the same. The hotel's management level was extraordinary.  Although Yu Zhe's table was rather special, with people from Iafu and Lunte, Godina and Kabamba, the hotel staff still made no mistake, and every guest was very happy with their meal.  Five-star hotels are not just words.

    Ge Hongtao was young and the city was not deep, so he talked about Caloponi endlessly.  After he finished speaking, Zilonga continued to talk about Kabamba. He was more eloquent than Ge Hongtao, and his words were garish, but they were basically common sense in tourism.  After Zilonga finished speaking, Yu Zhe talked about Tabos.  His style is different from Zilonga, focusing on Tabos' characteristics and his own adventure experiences.  When he said he was tired, Ge Hongtao took over and started a cycle.

    The nearby guests pricked up their ears to listen to the stories told by the three people with special status. People with rich experiences will never lack things to tell.  After two hours, everyone was still satisfied and asked for more ingredients.  Ge Hongtao, who was the least eloquent, unexpectedly gained the greatest recognition, followed by Yu Zhe, and Zilongga, the smartest, fell behind.

    The banquet ended at one o'clock in the afternoon. The heavyweights took photos with the newcomers and then left. Yu Zhe, as one of the representatives of the newcomers, saw off the senior officials of the Zongren Mansion and stopped more than one kilometer away from the banquet place.

    Before leaving, Mr. Zhuang said to Jilonga: "Do you understand?"

    Jilonga smiled, "I understand."

    Yu Zhe laughed and Ge Hongtao giggled.  The others were confused and didn't know what riddle the four were playing, so they didn't bother to pay attention.

    When we returned, the staff of the Rocker Hotel were cleaning up the banquet site, and the guests stepped forward to help.  The Locker Hotel has a big discount this time, and it doesn¡¯t make much money. It¡¯s mainly for public welfare.  Cleaning hundreds of thousands of tables is very hard, and if we don¡¯t help, we don¡¯t know when it will be completed.  There is power in numbers, and if millions of people work together, millions of tables, not to mention hundreds of thousands, will not be a problem.

    At three o'clock in the afternoon, Wesson Plaza was clear and refreshing again, and the newlyweds and guests dispersed.?Return to origin.  There were too many people to walk, so Yu Zhe simply walked with a group of relatives and friends. The space port has changed a lot in the past four years, and there are many places to see. It took a fast walk and a slow walk to reach No. 3 landing pad at 4 o'clock.

    As soon as we boarded the spacecraft, everyone started discussing the marriage and childbearing subsidies. The cabin was very lively. Although they were tired after a long day, everyone except the children were very excited. They did not expect that the division of family property would come so quickly.  The fine print is not that simple and requires careful consideration.  The descendants of the earth have the least benefit from this feast, but people from Beizhou can understand that Yu Zhe's circle of friends are all young people, and he doesn't care much about what older people think.

    As we talked, the topic went off the rails. The content discussed by men and women was obviously different. Gossip was popular.  The men's topic was mainly politics, while the women discussed the groom's and bride's dress and performance, plus some extraterrestrial fruits sent by the clan.

    When the spacecraft arrived at Agnew Spaceport, night fell, and the group of relatives and friends dispersed and went back to their homes.  Yi Kazan and Li Lai took Spin back to Shayi Street, while Yu Zhe drove his family of three and the sleeping fat cat all the way back to the small castle.

    Opening the door, closing the door, entering the house, putting his son in the crib, then lying down on his back and putting his feet on the coffee table, Yu Zhe's movements were smooth and smooth, all done in one go.  Diaka was startled, a little uncomfortable. Since her marriage, there had never been a family of three in the small castle.

    "Wife, cook, I'm starving." The good man who always likes to cook ordered.

    Diaka agreed obediently, washed her hands and started cooking.  After a while, the sound of cooking and singing came from the kitchen.

    Yu Zhe pricked up his ears and listened, very proud, and said to Xiao Zhe: "Son, our happy life as father and son has finally begun."

    The little kid didn¡¯t know what his father was talking about, so he laughed instinctively. The whole family had a great time.

    Ten minutes later, a smell of paste came out of the kitchen.  Yu Zhe rushed into the kitchen, kicked out the busy Diaka, and took matters into his own hands.

    The newlywed wife and the newlywed mother, who were not ashamed at all, took off their aprons, washed their hands and picked up their son, "Son, our happy life has finally begun."
