Happy Family Affair (Short Story)

Mid-autumn is the season of fragrant dangui and pleasant climate, the season of harvesting fruits and harvesting sweetness, and it is also a good day for family reunions and full moons. On this night, lao Tian and his wife thought: The marriage of their son cannot be postponed any longer, and it will be set for the Mid-Autumn Festival this year!

Lao Tian originally had two sons. In the early years, the eldest son served as a soldier in the army, once participated in national defense construction, and unfortunately suffered a car accident and gloriously dedicated himself. After graduating from graduate school, the youngest son became a designer at a design institute.

Lao Tian's lover said to Lao Tian: "The children have been going to college, looking for a job, and falling in love all these years, but they have not bothered us, this marriage, we can do a decent point for them, the relatives and friends who should be invited, one can not be less." ”

Lao Tian seemed to be a little sleepy: "Ah, can not be less..."

Lao Tian has three out of fifty this year, and he has been working in the system he is currently working for for 30 years. His long-term passion for his career and passion for his work is well known both inside and outside the system. From an ordinary clerk to the current "number one", he has been conscientious and down-to-earth in every step. In the past 7 years as the director of the bureau, he has successively served in 4 prefectures and cities, and local leaders, colleagues of units, and bosses of subordinates and enterprises have mentioned him, and none of them has said "no". Many people have even said many times: "We must drink the happy wine of your son's marriage!" ”

But Lao Tian, this person, is enthusiastic about work, never publicizes the affairs of his own family, and has always been low-key. He hardly ever gave his son a birthday in all these years. The son took the college entrance examination and won the "first name", everyone was clamoring to "he Yihe", he just ignored this stubble, but the family quietly drank some wine at the small restaurant in front of the house.

It is said that the son's marriage should be handled well, but it is really like his wife said that "one cannot be less", which is not in line with the consistent principle of our work. Lao Tian lay on the bed and thought about it, and he had an idea in his heart. He decided to discuss the matter with his family.

A rain on a summer night gave the next morning a rare coolness. Lao Tian got up early and rarely cooked her beloved seafood wonton stew for her wife. Despite this, when he told his wife his thoughts, he was still strongly opposed by his wife: "For decades, relatives and friends, whose family is married and bereaved, aren't we all out of touch and follow the part?" How come when it's our turn alone, you, you...? Besides, Zhang San is also the bureau chief, Li Si is also the bureau chief, the marriage of the children of others is so beautiful, how can your son get married, you, you...? ”

Women are women after all. Lao Tian felt that this matter should first be said to his son and "daughter-in-law", as long as the two children supported it.

Or young people are good at communicating. The two young couples raised their hands in favor of the Mid-Autumn Festival wedding. How to get married, but also said: it is best not to stick to the old way, simple is the best!

The Mid-Autumn Festival, two months later, is the first Mid-Autumn Festival in China to take the Mid-Autumn Festival as a statutory holiday. On this day, the wedding of Lao Tian's son was held as scheduled in the Dream Hall of the Dream Grand Hotel. The Dream Hall can arrange two large round tables at the same time, one table, sitting on the elderly parents, Lao Tian's two sons, sons and daughters-in-law and the woman's parents; on the other table, sitting on the two uncles, uncles, aunts and other relatives. In addition, no one knows that this day is the big day of the marriage of Director Tian's only son.

That night, the breeze was refreshing, the moon was bright, and the moon was like water. The wedding atmosphere is warm and the family is harmonious. Old Tian, who was overwhelmed by the strength of alcohol, couldn't help but drink three or five more cups and had a feeling of drifting.
