Summer is like a fire.

"Lianlian, open the window a little more to let the air flow, it's too hot."

Among the busy girls in the room, a girl was sweating on her forehead and turned her head to call her female companion near the window.

"This is a mountainous area in high altitude, only 31 degrees, I don't feel hot? Besides, the fan is also on." said the female companion who was packing the bouquet next to her. There was also a little sweat on her nose, but she was not as hot as her companion, and she said she couldn't stand it.

The fan on the wall was blowing, and the wind blew on her body. Although there was still a trace of heat, it took away the heat from her body, making people feel very comfortable.

Since the beginning of summer, the military sub-district has purchased hundreds of wall-mounted fans from China and distributed them to the troops and schools, allowing each dormitory to use electric fans.

"Liu Yan is from the north, and she can't get used to the humid and hot weather in the south." Xue Zhen asked someone to help her comb her long hair and said quietly.

"Yes, our summer is also hot, and the temperature sometimes reaches 37 or 8 degrees, which is much higher than here. But the heat there is dry and hot, and there is no moisture in the air. As long as you don't stand in the sun, it will cool down when the wind blows. Although it doesn't look that hot here, the air is very humid. I feel that every pore seems to be soaked in water, which is very uncomfortable." Liu Yan prepared the bouquet and carefully placed it on the wooden board that serves as the dressing table.

These bouquets were finally found by the Military Sub-district. They were not large in number and were just taken out of the vase. In order to prevent the flowers from falling off quickly, some water was sprinkled on them, which looked very beautiful.

Xue Zhen is not the only bride in this dormitory. Her roommate Zhao Xue is also making nervous preparations before the wedding with the help of her friends.

That’s right, today is the day for the military sub-district to hold a collective wedding!

The news that Kong Lingchen received was officially announced at the end of last month that for dual-employees who are both in the military sub-district, a five-dollar subsidy will be added every year. Families with children can receive another three-dollar subsidy.

Everyone is not stupid, knowing that this is another policy that the military sub-district has come up with in order to retain people.

Chinese people attach the most importance to family, wherever their home is, their hearts are. Once both parties get married, it is basically equivalent to staying in the military sub-district and no longer planning to return to the city. Especially for children, husband and wife are birds in the same forest, and they fly away from each other when the disaster strikes, but the children are different. The blood of their father and mother flows on them at the same time, which is a natural bond that connects the relationship between the two parties.

Before, there were also educated youth who couldn't stand it before. They married locals or even had children, which meant that they had basically cut off the idea of ​​going home.

The Military Sub-district provides extra care to married families and families with children, which means that after tempting everyone to stay here, live and work with peace of mind.

Everyone can see clearly, but they are not disgusted.

Compared with the farm, the life here is one in the sky and one underground. Even compared with the domestic cities, although there are still many shortcomings now, the basic living conditions are already good, and there is no need to worry about food, clothing and expenses. In addition to the a little boring cultural life, there are not many entertainment facilities, and it is not much different from the life in the city before.

What's more, the construction of the new city is very fast.

They just organized a collective effort to participate in a day of voluntary labor last month. In fact, they were to let them feel the speed of the construction of the new city, and to establish future urban planning maps and real-life propaganda signs on construction sites, so that they can be more confident in the future of the military sub-district.

The foundation of the new city was completed by the end of May.

The design institute helped to modify the drawings, and two thousand engineers and 20,000 selected people formed hundreds of joint engineering teams. Under the guidance of four engineering brigades from China, a vigorous construction movement was launched.

Twenty-two thousand construction workers were divided into three shifts, and they worked 24 hours a day without stopping work, working at night. Light bulbs were pulled up on all the construction sites, lighting up the construction sites at night like daytime. In order to reduce the labor intensity of everyone and speed up the construction progress, the military sub-district urgently purchased dozens of mixers, more than a dozen cranes, more than fifty Jiefang trucks, and ten sets of cement pouring equipment from the country.

At the same time, a daily overtime allowance of 50 cents was granted to construction workers who participated in the work.

The foundation was poured for only about twenty days, and then it grew rapidly at a rate of one floor a week.

Fast speed does not mean bad quality.

Their voluntary work or field inspection that day gave them an exciting feeling. On the construction site of two or three square kilometers, there were cars and people everywhere, with red flags waving and the atmosphere was warm. There were tweeters playing majestic songs outside the venue, which made the entire construction site even more energetic.

With experienced personnel commanders, although the scene was crowded, they were busy and not chaotic. Hundreds of engineering commanders holding small flags and whistles in their mouths made the construction project go in an orderly manner.

This kind of scene is a completely replica of the domestic battle, but the dispatch is more scientific, the planning is more detailed, the implementation is more detailed, and more modern equipment is used.

In a residential building in a residential building in the community under intense construction, they saw with their own eyes that the dense steel bar support bars, each of which was as thick as a little finger before pouring cement. According to the team's engineer, this was Commander Guan's instructions and was constructed in accordance with the seventh-level earthquake-proof standards. Moreover, in order to improve the building strength, not only the foundation, pillars, floors, but also the exterior walls were reinforced with steel bars.

Judging from the on-site display board, each residential building is a small high-rise building with a twelve floor elevator!

There is no such elevator apartment even in China! Every student who sees the real-life picture board wishes to have such an enviable residence immediately.

On the construction site of the University of Science and Technology, they saw real-life pictures of teaching buildings, libraries, student dormitories and other buildings that were so beautiful that they were surprised.

The various measures and various practical and visible progress of the military sub-district are all indicating that the military sub-district will have a bright tomorrow.

With such promotion, no one felt that the military sub-district had any malicious intention to induce everyone to settle down here, but they were just happy for their good times.

Those who already have children and are talking about friends will not talk about them. Even those educated youth who were still insisting on the farm and wanted to find a partner after returning to the city, all gave up their initial thoughts and actively began to find a suitable partner.

The Military Sub-district is enthusiastic about organizing blind dates once a week, using picnics, independent pairing, learning to help students find their favorite other half.

Not only are educated youth students, but also take care of the soldiers of the army.

The new policy announced that as long as educated youth students who have married soldiers with troops will enjoy employment benefits in advance from the day they receive their marriage certificate!

After such a series of measures, couples in love can be seen in the entire military sub-district location at all times. What’s even more funny is that when the news reached the country, it actually attracted more than 2,000 educated youth, and there were more girls than boys!

It is not just the educated youth, so intensive and tempting decisions have made many local people in China envious of it.

Xue Zhen and Kong Lingchen completed the marriage registration procedures early, and the couple who registered for marriage like them reached 382 pairs!

The Military Sub-district naturally supports such good things and said that it will never let everyone down and will hold a grand collective wedding for all registered couples, including those who have been married before.

For this purpose, the Military Sub-district spent more than 200,000 yuan. From China and Hong Kong, they purchased a large number of silk scarves, gauze scarves and fabrics. They invited famous domestic tailoring masters to tailor their clothes for each person attending the group wedding. They made bride wedding dresses and groom dresses according to the patterns given by Guan Fei. The Military Sub-district also promised that after the wedding ceremony, this set of wedding dresses will be given to the newlyweds for free as a commemoration of their lives!

In order to make this batch of wedding dresses, the wedding was only postponed for a month and was not released until yesterday evening. Each couple was organized to try it on.

When Xue Zhen first saw the wedding dress she was about to wear, her eyes shone brightly and she was so excited that she almost fainted.

It's so beautiful!

It was so beautiful that she was about to suffocate!

I was used to seeing all kinds of dull and serious Zhongshan outfits and cadre uniforms in China. Looking around, I looked dark blue, gray, black and other dark colors. When I first saw the snow-white wedding dress and the elegant appearance, she couldn't control her emotions and cried with excitement.

When Kong Lingchen changed into the white suit, his strong and tall figure became even more tall. With the bookish aura he always had, Xue Zhen felt as if she saw the prince charming in the painting standing in front of him.

She would be willing to die immediately if she could have such a romantic and meaningful wedding in her life!

Only Kong Lingchen, who didn't understand the mood, muttered, as if he said that such clothes could not be worn at all, and he could only wear them for a day when he got married. Instead of giving such flashy wedding dresses to newlyweds, it would be better to pay for everyone to pay for them.

She couldn't hear such disappointing words, and she pretended not to hear them after hearing them. Her heart was completely surrounded by excitement and could no longer enter other emotions.

After an unprecedented long night, she finally sat in front of the mirror and began her final look before the wedding.

Behind her, Liu Ying carefully helped her to organize her wedding dress, making it look more relaxed, her eyes full of envy: "Zhenzhen, I'm so jealous. I didn't expect that there would be such a beautiful wedding dress. If I had known that I would have been in the first batch of marriages!"

"Aren't you registered with Shui Hongbo? As early as the farm, we said that you two are very compatible, but you insisted that it doesn't matter. If the military sub-district hadn't helped this time, I wouldn't know when you would drag it to!" Xiaolian, who came out of the same farm, scolded.

"Hmph, it's not that dead wood Hongbo. I never understand other people's hearts. I'm afraid I'll reject it. I've given him many opportunities, but he still dared not confess. If I had known that the first group wedding was so grand, I would have pulled him to register the first batch!" Liu Yan said with a tantrum.

"You guys are just trying to save face and suffer!"

Xiaolian opened the makeup box and used chalk to help Xue Zhen put on makeup. She first gently slapped a layer of foundation on her face, then gently rubbed a little blush. Then she used lipstick to draw the lip line, and then used charcoal to help her draw curved eyebrows.

I heard that this makeup method was also casually said by Commander Guan. It is completely different from the big red makeup like a monkey butt in China. It looks much more natural and has a classical beauty.

However, it seems that Commander Guan has a little understanding of the fur for women to wear makeup, and he has no idea how men should wear it. So the grooms also threw on a layer of powder and added a little blush. In addition to not wearing lipstick and eyebrows, they basically compared to the bride's makeup.

"Wow! Zhenzhen, so beautiful! It looks like a fairy in the painting!" After helping Xue Zhen repair her makeup, Xiaolian took a step back and looked at it carefully, and was amazed.

She is not too exaggerated.

Xue Zhen looks pretty good, but she usually wears simple clothes and looks no different from others, just like everyone else. But today she wore a white wedding dress, put on some makeup, and blew the lip line, and her eyebrows. She suddenly looked particularly beautiful.

"Really, I never found out that Zhenzhen, you are so beautiful!"

"Look at it very well. In front of the real person, I feel more beautiful than the ancient ladies in the painting!"

The group of sisters who helped in the dormitory praised in surprise, and even the bride next to her who was also going to attend the group wedding showed jealousy. In fact, she was not bad either. After all, youthfulness is the greatest beauty, but her face is a bit round, and she is not as beautiful as Xue Zhen when she put on makeup.

"No! I think it's very ordinary!"

Xue Zhen felt happy and looked left and right in the mirror, extremely satisfied. She also felt that she was unprecedentedly beautiful today, but she said modestly.

While the girls were playing, the music of the wedding march sounded from the tweeter outside.

"It's about to start!"

Everyone was in a hurry. A female companion who acted as a bridesmaid held the bride's hand, while the other helped hold the wedding dress behind her back, and hurried to the wedding scene.

The grooms have been waiting for a long time.

As for men, there is not much to be busy, just put on a white suit. Under the guidance of the logistics officer who temporarily acted as a wedding ceremonial, he stood one by one to his own position. Hundreds of people stood in a long row, from the ceremonial stage to hundreds of meters away.

News of the group wedding had long been spread. People who had no jobs in the village came to watch the fun. There were also tens of thousands of curious educated youth students who surrounded the wedding scene. Even the sun above their heads did not dispel everyone's enthusiasm.

Xue Zhen was led to her standing position in order, one meter away, next to her was Kong Lingchen. He seemed a little uncomfortable with the suit and kept pulling and pulling. However, Xue Zhen, who had been familiar with him for a long time, saw his bloodshot ears, he knew that he was actually embarrassed.

The wedding march was over, and the leaders of the military sub-district all came to the emcee stage with a smile on their faces. Everyone was humble and Guan Fei walked to the microphone.

"Today is a festive day. We wanderers who have been wandering outside for many years will have a companion from today!"

His loud voice came out through the speaker and reached everyone's ears.

It seemed as if a fragile string was being plucked in Xue Zhen's heart. She looked at Kong Lingchen beside her, unable to help but feel sad and joyful in her heart.

"... From today on, you are no longer alone. In your life, there will be another person - your most loved one, who will work hand in hand with you, bear the hardships of life together, share the joy of success together, and face the challenges of the future together. No matter how poor or wealth, health and disease, you will not be able to separate you, share life and death, and remain unswerving until death!..."

The eyes were blurred, as if covered with a layer of gauze, and tears surged in the corners of Xue Zhen's eyes.

Hold your hand and grow old with you!

From today on, that person will become the other half of his life, sharing life and death with both sides, and growing old together! The poems I read in the book will become reality now!

She held the bouquet tightly with her fingers, her eyes blurred with tears.

Dad and Mom, have you seen it? Your little daughter, whom you love and care for, has finally grown up today and got married!

The handsome young man standing there is your son-in-law and my husband!
Chapter completed!
