Witness?
Zhao Weihong looked at Mr. Yu in confusion and wanted to ask what the witness did.
Lin Jingshu, who was standing aside, obviously knew more than Zhao Weihong. At this moment, his face was red, his head was lowered, and he said nothing.

The reason why Lin Jingshu knew clearly what a "witness" did was not because he had ever learned about this matter privately.

Rather, due to the closed environment and inconvenient transportation in their area, newlyweds still maintain a very traditional way of getting married, which is the way of getting married in the 1960s and 1970s.

If a young couple wants to get married, they will not go through the trouble of registering at the county civil affairs bureau, but will invite respected elders from all over the neighborhood.

This person could be the village chief, or a clan elder of high generation, who comes to be the witness for the couple's wedding.

And the higher the status of the witness, the more face the couple will have.

The witness will also use his own reputation or status as a guarantee to help the couple complete the marriage procedures and obtain a marriage certificate.

It is not surprising that Lin Jingshu has some understanding of the witness through what he has seen and heard.

However, as transportation conditions become increasingly convenient, the role of witnesses has gradually lost the meaning of their existence.

But there are still families that follow tradition and invite a respected witness to come forward and give their blessings to the newlyweds.

Especially for "institutional families" like Zhao Weihong and Lin Jingshu, the leaders of their unit will definitely be present at their wedding.

And because Zhao Weihong and Lin Jingshu are both military personnel, they need to submit a report to their superiors when they get married.

From a certain perspective, the person who approved this report could also be considered their "witness."

Judging from this, Zhao Weihong's future wedding witness will most likely be Wang Chuan.
But it is unlikely that Wang Chuan will be Zhao Weihong's witness.
Not to mention whether Zhou Kehu would agree.

As the biggest "matchmaker" between Zhao Weihong and Lin Jingshu, Deputy Chief Wei has been waiting to attend their wedding.

If he were to show up, there would certainly be no other candidate for the witness.

Deputy Chief Wei himself also thinks so.

But today, Deputy Chief Wei suddenly discovered.

My position as the "witness" doesn't seem that secure.
"Wait a minute!"

"Old Fisherman, what do you mean by that?"

"If these two little guys get married, an old man like me will definitely be the witness."

"What do you want to do by bringing this up now?"

Seeing Deputy Chief Wei's nervous look, Old Yu smiled, first put away the box containing the gold medal, and then spoke to Deputy Chief Wei in a light-hearted manner.

"Wei Hong, this kid, gave me such a great gift."

"As an elder, I can't just accept it for nothing. I have to do something for him."

"I'm a retired old man with no special skills. I can't help with anything else."

"But I think it's okay to be a witness for the wedding of these two young couples."

"It's okay!"

Before Mr. Yu could finish his words, Deputy Chief Wei no longer cared about maintaining his composure in front of the younger generation, and just glared at him and said angrily!

"You want to be Wei Hong's witness?"

"Then what am I going to do?"

Old Yu didn't even look at Deputy Chief Wei, and replied quietly.

"Sit down below and have your meal."

"What else do you want to do?"

Deputy Chief Wei: “???”

Listen!

What a word!

Although in Deputy Chief Wei's heart, he really wanted Zhao Weihong to get closer to Yu Lao and strengthen their relationship.

From the two meetings between Zhao Weihong and Yu Lao, it can be seen that Deputy Chief Wei has been trying every means to get Zhao Weihong in touch with Yu Lao.

But this definitely does not mean that Deputy Chief Wei will give up his role as "witness"!
Deputy Chief Wei cares more about Zhao Weihong's lifelong affairs than Zhao Jianguo and his wife, and even dreams about having a great-grandson at night.

With just a few words, Mr. Yu wanted to cancel the favor of giving Zhao Weihong the gold medal, and even snatch the identity of "witness" from Deputy Chief Wei?

Why do you, old man, get all the good things?
With this in mind, Deputy Chief Wei rolled up his sleeves and had a good talk with Mr. Yu about the role of "witness".

But before he could open his mouth, Old Yu continued speaking lightly.

"Let me ask you, am I the elder of Comrade Wei Hong and Comrade Lin Jingshu?"

"Yes"

"Let me ask you again, although I am retired now, I am still qualified to be the witness for the wedding of the young couple, right?"

This time, Deputy Commander Wei was silent for a long time, and then he reluctantly squeezed out a "hmm" from between his teeth.

"If I remember correctly, Wei Hong has to call you Grandpa in private."

"Look at you, you've been talking about principles all your life, why can't you figure it out now?"

"You are Wei Hong's leader and her elder. You should know how to avoid suspicion, right?"

"Besides, how can a relative of yours be a witness at a wedding?"

"Actually, I don't necessarily have to be the witness, but aren't you afraid that someone will gossip about Wei Hong behind her back?"

"."

After listening to Mr. Yu's analysis, Deputy Chief Wei, who had just been filled with indignation, slowly lowered his head and fell into silence.

Although what Mr. Yu said still sounds reasonable.

But Deputy Chief Wei knew clearly that Mr. Yu was just trying to control him!

After waiting for so long, Zhao Weihong and Lin Jingshu are about to get married.

How could Deputy Chief Wei be willing to give up the role of witness just because of a few words from Mr. Yu?

After thinking for a moment, Deputy Chief Wei felt that he should not give in so easily. He was about to continue arguing with Mr. Yu when he saw Zhao Weihong on the side suddenly speak.

"Master, Mr. Yu."

"I understand now! Please stop arguing."

"You two are my elders and leaders."

"They are also the two greatest witnesses of Jingshu and I's journey together."

"In that case, why can't you two be my witnesses together?"

"Although I'm not sure what the witness does, there shouldn't be only one witness at a wedding, right?"

It must be said that Zhao Weihong is quite quick-witted.

It seemed that Deputy Chief Wei and Mr. Yu were about to quarrel over their own affairs.

Zhao Weihong immediately proposed a "fair and equal" solution! Isn't it just a witness?
Dan! Dan! Dan! Dan together!

If Deputy Chief Wei and Mr. Yu don't mind, it is not impossible to include all the elders who have helped Zhao Weihong, such as Yan Wenyuan and Zhou Kehu, and set up a "marriage witness group"!

Anyway, Zhao Weihong has no objection to this, and Lin Jingshu is even less likely to have any objection!
However, it is predictable.

Even if they couldn't come up with the grand "wedding witness group" that Zhao Weihong had planned.

But with the participation of Deputy Chief Wei and Mr. Yu, the wedding of Zhao Weihong and Lin Jingshu will definitely be of extraordinary standard!
To describe it as “clouds of wheat ears” is an understatement!
As a party to this wedding, Zhao Weihong fully deserves the phrase - bringing honor to the family!
"Two witnesses."

After hearing Zhao Weihong's proposal, Deputy Chief Wei immediately became conflicted.

From the perspective of tradition and formality, there is nothing wrong with having two or even more witnesses at a wedding.

But this can be seen from Deputy Chief Wei’s past performance.

He is actually a very possessive person.

If Yan Wenyuan, Xie Guoliang and others dare to set their sights on Zhao Weihong, Deputy Chief Wei will turn against him!
This is no ordinary protection of one's own child, it can be described as "strict defense", for fear that Zhao Weihong would be abducted!
Of course, Deputy Chief Wei does not need to worry that Zhao Weihong will be "kidnapped" by Mr. Yu.

But when she thought about the ceremony and process that originally only she could participate in and that was very meaningful to Zhao Weihong, she now had to "share" with one more person.

Deputy Chief Wei always felt a little uncomfortable.
"Okay, Lao Wei."

With just one glance, Yu Lao saw through his old partner's thoughts and immediately explained to Deputy Chief Wei.

"That child Wei Hong said so."

"As elders, what else do you and I have to consider?"

Upon hearing this, Deputy Chief Wei rolled his eyes in annoyance, thinking to himself that this "cabbage" was not grown with great effort by you, and at most you just fertilized it once, so of course you don't care, old man!

But looking at Zhao Weihong's expectant yet slightly nervous eyes.

Deputy Chief Wei could only let out a sigh and said with difficulty and reluctance.

"That's all. Let's just leave it at that."

At this point, the witness for Zhao Weihong and Lin Jingshu’s wedding has been chosen.

One is Deputy Chief Wei and the other is Mr. Yu.

These two are truly “heavyweights!”

With these two elders showing up, it would be impossible for Zhao Weihong's wedding to be low-key!

However, for Zhao Weihong and Lin Jingshu, it is really too early to consider getting married now.

Zhao Weihong hasn't even started her internship yet, but Lin Jingshu will stay in school to pursue graduate studies in the future, and will be pursuing both a master's and a doctorate degree.

For their future development, these few years are undoubtedly the most important. During the stage of laying the foundation, there is really no time to think about personal issues.

This was the answer Zhao Weihong gave when Deputy Chief Wei asked, "When do you plan to get married?"

Deputy Chief Wei also agreed with this.

As for Mr. Yu, he had a meal with Zhao Weihong and Lin Jingshu that night and then left overnight.

Including Deputy Chief Wei, who took time out of his busy schedule today to meet with Zhao Weihong.

Even this year's New Year's Eve, Deputy Chief Wei will not spend it at home.

Instead, they will go to the western border outposts to celebrate the New Year with the border guards who are defending the motherland's territory there.

After the New Year, Deputy Chief Wei has to return to his tedious work.

For an old man over 60 years old, such work intensity is undoubtedly overload.

But Deputy Chief Wei was full of passion and vitality that Zhao Weihong had never seen before. He even said in a flamboyant manner during the meal that it was very likely that they would reach a military training plan with some small countries in the near future.

We will completely refer to the organization of Yan Country's Class A troops and help them train their troops.

Not only can they collect training fees, but the weapons and equipment equipped by the other party are naturally purchased from Yan Country.

Although Yan Country has never stopped exporting its weapons and equipment over the years.

But this kind of standardized purchase and deployment is the first time!
This is also the first time that the "Flame Equipment Division" has appeared on Blue Star after the so-called "American Equipment Division", "French Equipment Division" and "German Equipment Division", which is of extraordinary significance!

At this time, Yan State was in an important transformation stage of informatization construction.

Countless equipment that lacks informationized combat capabilities will be replaced by equipment that has or partially has informationized combat capabilities.

Among these rotated equipment, there are many new equipment that have only been put into service in recent years.

Previously, Deputy Chief Wei was still worried about how to deal with this batch of equipment.

But now, this batch of old equipment will be transformed into foreign exchange of Yan Country, and will continue to contribute to the research and development and popularization of a new generation of information equipment!

More importantly, no matter how advanced the weapons and equipment are, they will be eliminated one day.

And once they get used to the cheap, durable, and abundant Yan Country equipment, will they still look down on weapons and equipment from other countries?
This is a long-term business with huge profits and steady income, so Deputy Chief Wei will naturally take it seriously!
As for the construction of informationized troops and the research and development of various equipment, which one can be done without Deputy Commander Wei?

Although it was very tiring, Deputy Chief Wei enjoyed it.

People of their generation are not afraid of hardship or fatigue, but they are afraid that the country will not become strong and they will be bullied!

Now, the opportunity for development and growth has finally come, how could Deputy Chief Wei let it go?

For this reason, Deputy Chief Wei did not even allow Zhao Weihong to stay for a few more days.

The next morning, he sent Zhao Weihong home quickly, and he himself left home early and devoted himself to work.

The person in charge of sending Zhao Weihong and Lin Jingshu back was Staff Officer Wang.

Zhao Weihong understood that Deputy Chief Wei was very busy, but was also worried about his health. He wrote a letter himself and asked Staff Officer Wang to give it to Deputy Chief Wei. Then Zhao Weihong and Lin Jingshu set out on the journey back home.

Along the way, Zhao Weihong, who was eager to return home, did not stay but went straight home. Even before arriving in Lantian County, he took Lin Jingshu to change into casual clothes.

It is said that wealth does not return to its hometown, just like walking in brocade at night.

But Zhao Weihong didn't want any irrelevant people to disturb the warm moment of her reunion with her family.

soon.

Zhao Weihong returned to the entrance of Zhaojia Village, which felt unfamiliar to him.

Broad and clean cement roads and clean brick houses with bright windows
Everything he saw reminded Zhao Weihong that his hometown was very different from the past.

As if to welcome the return of this wanderer.

In the sky, fine snowflakes slowly floated down, and soon covered the ground like a pure white carpet.

Two lines of footprints started from the village entrance, gradually extended on the carpet, and finally stopped in front of Zhao Weihong's house.

"Squeak."

Pushing open the thick door, Zhao Weihong raised her head, looked at her parents who were standing there in a daze, and spoke with a smile.

"Dad, Mom."

"I am back."
