Starting out as a drug dealer in 1988

At noon that day, after lunch, Zhao Wenhao took his driver to Ping'an County.

In addition to checking out the hotel venue and setting the dining standards, the more important thing is to send out invitations.

Whether others go or not is one thing, but you should be polite and considerate.

Moreover, when Zhao Wenhao first started his business in the county, many people offered him help, and a close relationship was established between the two parties.

Regardless of anything else, my father, mother and sister still live in Ping'an County.

There will still be a lot of things that need to be taken care of in the future, so it is necessary to hold a wedding at home so that both parties can get together and strengthen their relationship.

After a few days, all preparations were finally completed.

October 1st was also the day of Zhao Wenjing's wedding.

In the early morning, the sun shines through the clouds onto the streets and alleys of Zhaojiayu, as if covering the small village with a layer of golden glow.

The villagers woke up early and helped to prepare for the wedding.

The red carpet stretched far away, colorful flags fluttered in the air, and a festive atmosphere filled every corner.

"Wow, the cars are coming, lots of them. They're coming in a row!"

A child shouted excitedly, pointing at the convoy approaching in the distance.

"Quick, light the firecrackers!"

Someone shouted hurriedly, and then the sound of firecrackers and cheers intertwined and echoed throughout the village.

The convoy slowly drove into Zhaojia Island. Luxury cars were neatly arranged, with wedding characters pasted on the windows and big red flowers hanging on the front of the cars, making it look particularly festive.

"Let's go stop the wedding car. If they don't give us a pack of cigarettes, we won't let them pass. Hehe..."

A group of young people said with a smile, holding firecrackers and fireworks in their hands, ready to stop the wedding car and ask the groom for red envelopes and cigarettes.

"That's right. Zhao Wenhao's family is so rich, and Zhao Wenjing's boyfriend's family is from the provincial capital. We absolutely can't let them get away with it easily."

Another group of people echoed, their faces filled with joyful smiles.

As the convoy got closer, the villagers gathered around and looked curiously at the luxury cars coming from the provincial capital.

An elderly man pointed at the cars and exclaimed, "What kind of cars are these? I've never seen them before!"

"Wow, so many luxury cars, this wedding is so prestigious! When I got married, I was picked up by just two bicycles. I feel so lucky when I think about it!" said a woman enviously.

The people around him laughed along: "How about you get married again? Zhao Wenhao isn't married yet. If you go and get him married, it will definitely be a bigger deal than this!"

"Get lost. I'm already 35. I want to get married and there's someone willing to marry me!" The woman rolled her eyes and walked away.

At this moment, firecrackers rang out again, and the deafening sound echoed in the air.

The smoke was so thick that it was almost impossible to see the road ahead.

"Hurry, block the road and don't let them pass easily." A young man shouted.

"Yes, give us red envelopes and cigarettes first, otherwise we won't let you pass." Another group of people echoed.

As the sound of firecrackers gradually subsided and the smoke dissipated, the wedding car stopped at the entrance of the village.

The car door opened and the groom, dressed in a suit and holding flowers, got out of the car. He smiled and greeted the surrounding villagers.

"congratulations!"

"I wish you a happy marriage!"

"Happy wedding!"

……

The villagers offered their blessings one after another and stretched out their hands to signal the groom to give red envelopes and cigarettes.

"Don't be anxious, we have them all, we have them all." Gu Qiang was sweating profusely, but he showed a happy smile and followed the matchmaker.

This time we are well prepared and there will be no shortage of candy and cigarettes.

But soon after the convoy entered the village, it was immediately surrounded, which still made Gu Qiang somewhat at a loss.

Especially when seeing the dense crowds, many people had already pulled ropes on the road to block the way.

What's worse, some people even put their own carts in the middle of the road, with several people sitting on them and closing their eyes to rest.

Two of them were Zhao Wenhao’s old friends: Zhao Dagou and Zhao Mingliang.

Zhao Wenjing is considered a flower in Zhaojiayu. I wonder how many young men are thinking about her.

Now, he was unexpectedly picked by a guy from the provincial capital. They were so angry that they naturally wanted to give Gu Qiang a lesson.

Among them are Zhao Dagou and Zhao Mingliang.

"Brothers, smoke, smoke."

After finally getting rid of the women and children, the matchmaker saw a cart parked across the middle of the road and hurried over to say hello.

"Oh, guys, we are too tired today. We can't pull the cart, so we have to stop here to rest." Zhao Dagou said nonchalantly.

The matchmaker smiled again and handed out cigarettes to each of them.

Unfortunately, Zhao Dagou, Zhao Mingliang and others showed no intention of moving.

Gu Qiang looked at the time and saw it was almost 10 o'clock. He was getting anxious because he didn't know how long it would take if it continued like this.

The last time he came to Zhaojiayu, he met Zhao Dagou and Zhao Mingliang, and knew that they were Zhao Wenhao's brothers.

So he hurried forward, took out two packs of Hongtashan liquor from his pocket, and stuffed them into the two men's pockets: "Two brothers, you see, we are in a hurry. Can you move the car first? I will treat everyone to dinner next time we come!"

However, Zhao Dagou and Zhao Mingliang did it on purpose, so how could they let them go easily?

"Brother Qiang, there's nothing we can do! We've been waiting for you for so long, and you want to send us off with just two packs of cigarettes? It's not that easy!"

"How could that be possible? You said that I would do it as long as I can do it." Gu Qiang patted his chest and promised. Now he just wanted to get there quickly, otherwise he didn't know how long he would be delayed.

Of course, he couldn't keep a straight face on such a happy occasion. He could only smile and pass out cigarettes and candies again.

"Hey, what are you dawdling for? Get out of the way! They're getting impatient over there, and you bastards are still blocking the way!"

At the critical moment, Zhao Yuanchao appeared and rescued Gu Qiang.

After all, this time Zhao Yuanchao also acted as the matchmaker for the woman, and he was also the village party secretary of Zhaojiayu.

His words naturally carried great weight. Even though Zhao Dagou and Zhao Mingliang had become rich now, they did not dare to openly confront the village party secretary.

In desperation, they had to let him go.

But the two men secretly thought that although the road was cleared, welcoming the bride next would probably not be so easy.

Finally, after nearly half an hour of struggle, the convoy arrived smoothly at the gate of Zhao Wenhao's yard.

At this moment, the sound of firecrackers and gongs and drums resounded through the sky, and the whole scene was extremely lively.

Gu Qiang hurriedly got out of the car with flowers in his hands.

Zhao Aiguo and Wei Chunlan stood at the door to greet them with smiles on their faces.

Seeing Gu Qiang coming, they went forward to greet him with joy.

"Dad, Mom!" Gu Qiang called out respectfully twice.

"Hey!" Zhao Aiguo and his wife responded in unison, and then happily introduced the relatives present to Gu Qiang.

Then they urged, "Come into the house quickly! Wenjing is waiting for you inside!"

Gu Qiang couldn't wait to see the bride, but his way was blocked by a group of people.

It turned out that Zhao Dagou and Zhao Mingliang had been waiting there for a long time. How could they let him pass so easily?

Thus, a joyful yet tense wedding scene is about to begin...
