My brother didn't get married until two years after I got married.

I don't know much about my brother's emotional world, and I have never talked to my brother about related topics, my brother once had a relationship with my aunt's little cousin, because my mother is an adopted daughter, in fact, they are not related by blood, but my mother is resolutely opposed, and in the end that relationship ended without a problem. My brother stopped paying attention to emotional matters for a long time, maybe he was angry with his mother, or for other reasons, I don't know.

I am very familiar with Xiaoyuan, who eventually became my sister-in-law, I knew her as early as when I was in the Lin family's elementary school, her mother was a music teacher, and I was in the same class as her.

It's also interesting to talk about their marriage. Back then, a matchmaker introduced Xiaoyuan to my brother, and after seeing him, there was no follow-up, and he didn't say he agreed, nor did he say he didn't agree, anyway.

The next year, another matchmaker introduced the two people together, and this time, the matchmaker was enthusiastic and walked back and forth, and they had no opinion, so it started to go everywhere. When they chatted, Xiaoyuan mentioned that when she was in Linjia Primary School, she had an argument with me, and my brother slapped me, my brother doesn't remember this incident, and I don't remember it. But Xiaoyuan can mention it, it must be like this, when I was a child, my brother always protected me desperately.

He is not young at the age of two, and he talked about marriage after less than a year.

Dad asked my brother to see the house, and my brother chose a house in the south of the city, which has a total of 7 floors, and my brother chose the east house on the 7th floor, with two bedrooms and a living room, a total of 84 square meters.

When it was time to pay the money, Xiao Kou and I drove Xiao Kou's car to the credit union near my father's house, and my father took several regular folds and took out all the money on the folds, a total of 110,000 yuan, which was a big bag. Finally took out the money, me, Xiaokou and my father drove straight to the sales department of Chunmanyuan Community in the south of the city and paid the full amount. The lady of the sales department counted the money and found a fake 100 yuan banknote, and I explained to my father for a long time to no avail, so I had to change it.

On the way home after the money was paid, my father told me that he had done what he had to do, and asked me to help my brother prepare the rest, and I agreed.

The wedding room was prepared, and the person my brother found to decorate it took 3 months to complete the decoration and two months to dry, and the two of them were ready to get married at the end of the year.

Mom and Dad in the countryside is not convenient to prepare anything, my brother booked a hotel, I am responsible for contacting the car and buying some odd things, remember to go to the vegetable market early to order lotus dishes, must be four sections of lotus dishes, to order two, but also to set pork, with bones, as well as wine and snacks, commonly known as the four kinds of gifts, to marry the bride to send to the mother's family. A colleague of mine reminded me that those who take the four gifts must bring chopsticks and tape, and I was puzzled, and he smiled and said that if the lotus flower breaks when marrying the bride, you can take the chopsticks and put them on, and then glue them with tape. I blame him for talking foul-mouthed, but in order to prevent accidents, I was still prepared, I was really afraid that there would be a mistake in this link, but fortunately, there were no accidents.

The weather was very good the day before the wedding, but I was dumbfounded at 3 o'clock in the morning the next day, it snowed so much, there was six or seven centimeters of snow on the road, my heart was anxious, at five o'clock in the morning, there were 3 drivers who said that their unit was closed, and the car could not get out. I was dumbfounded, where is this car?

At the end of the 90s, there were still very few wedding companies, and the cars used for weddings were basically the cars of the borrowed units. In desperation, I had to beg our deputy director Tian Suo, so heavy snow, Tian Suo went to a few friends to find a car, and finally found 3 cars for emergency relief in front of Tian Suo. I will always remember the back of Tansho running in the wind and snow in a fur coat that day, and I am grateful for his enthusiastic help. It is precisely because of this that when he was in trouble in the future, I firmly supported him and helped him get through it.

That day, I shuttled between the wine tables, all kinds of hectic things, a lot of things that I didn't prepare, a lot of things I didn't think of......

Mom and Dad are so cute, always smiling, and when the wedding is over, I will arrange to send them home, grateful to Mom and Dad like relatives, I seem to be in charge.

But anyway, the wedding is over, and my brother has his own little family.

Between our original family of four, it has become three small families.

The days are running on their own tracks, and the two newborn families have begun to get on the right track on the basis of the original family, integrating into the lights of thousands of homes, and continuing the story of firewood, rice, oil and salt.

In traditional Chinese thought, even if parents work hard to start a family, they must fully pave the way for their sons. In the countryside, they are working hard to build a new house for their son to marry their daughter-in-law, and people in the city will always cut down on food and clothing to prepare a wedding house for their son, which seems to be a matter of course, so Chinese parents are very hard and great. If children can see that they feel sorry for their parents, it is not in vain to honor their parents, but when they encounter a white-eyed wolf, their parents can only be desolate and helpless at night. Because they have left little for themselves for the sake of their children.

My brother and I were two years short of buying a house, and my parents took out a total of 150,000 yuan. The 150,000 yuan is what these two people need to shrink their clothes and diet. When I learned about the salary income at that time, I was shocked, and the money they took out was their life savings, and they didn't hesitate to take it out, what a great thing it was.

Our family's rural house was built in '87, and when we built the house, we were stretched thin, and we borrowed a lot of foreign debts, and it is estimated that it will be possible to pay off the foreign debts in '88. If Mom and Dad started to save money from 89 to 92, Mom and Dad's salary was less than 100 yuan per month, and they could save less than 10,000 yuan in 4 years; In 93 years of wage reform, Mom and Dad's salary was less than 500 yuan, until 1999, the salary rose by 200 yuan per year, that is, Mom and Dad could save less than 120,000 yuan in 7 years, which was only 130,000 yuan。

When the accounts are clear, they will be sad, how heavy the hearts of Chinese parents are for their children, they give everything they have, and they have no regrets.

Although our family is a resident, but after all, it is in a rural environment, my parents strongly supported me when I wanted to buy a house, they did not have the idea of patriarchy, the most important thing is that they felt sorry for me to live without a fixed place, and did not dislike the little Kou family is poor and white, now I think about it, my parents are really generous to me.
