Chapter 583 - 0583 Collective Wedding 9_1
At the wedding, Feng Qingxue noticed that aside from Sang Hong and the newly promoted platoon leader, Niu Yibao, who were relatively young, all the other grooms turned out to be officers, the youngest of whom were over thirty years old.
Qiao Desheng was also a camp commander, hence considered an officer.
From this, it was clear that the military indeed prioritized addressing the marital matters of older officers.
Even though there were fifteen pairs of grooms and brides holding the ceremony, making the scene even more lively than Su Junlin and Bai Xue’s marriage, there weren’t enough red flowers for them to wear, meaning that none of the newlyweds had any. They were all dressed in clean military uniforms, the decent ones without patches and the lesser ones patched up in several places, including Zu Xiu.
Despite the absence of flamboyant ceremonies, no fancy clothes, no fine wine or delicacies, there were authentic and bright smiles on the faces of thirteen grooms and fifteen brides. The other two brides seemed to be forcing a smile, just like Bai Xue during her wedding.
Feng Qingxue took a closer look at the partners of these two brides and instantly understood.
The women soldiers in the cultural troupe, even if not strikingly beautiful, had regular and fair features. And these two brides, even more so, were quite pretty-looking.
However, their partners, that wasn’t the case. They were quite older, at least 35, and judging by their appearance, they looked like they were in their forties or fifties. They had plain looks, dark skin, faces with red veins, wrinkles at the brows and corners of the eyes, making them appear exceptionally old. But their ranking in the military was not low; one was a deputy division chief, and the other a regiment chief.
Feng Qingxue often went to the cultural troupe, and recognized these two brides, one was Chen Chen, who had reported Fang Ning, and the other was Zhou Fei, who was even younger and prettier than Chen Chen, only 24 years old.
Zhou Fei married the deputy division chief, Peng Hu, so naturally, Chen Chen married the regiment chief, Wan Xinguo.
