Chapter 250: Half a year
In fact, only Ye Lin knew that Jiang Yuan was not worship at all, but awe.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is winter, it should be said that it has just begun.
On this day, Ye Lin closed the door for a day, there was no way, Uncle Jiang's son got married, of course Ye Lin had to go.
After talking to Uncle Jiang that day, Ye Lin found a time to talk to Jiang Yuan.
Ye Lin didn't persuade much, just said how difficult it was for his parents, if he got married, his daughter-in-law could at least help the family do some work to reduce the burden on his parents.
I don't know if he thinks Ye Lin is right, or if he is too in awe of Ye Lin, anyway, he agreed.
No, it's booked in the summer, and the wedding will be held just in the winter.
In the city of the sixties, the bride was picked up by a wife on two or three permanent bicycles, and that was a big show.
But maybe none of them are their own, and they are basically all connected.
Bicycle picks up the bride, and it was the same until the seventies.
Except for the bed, which was loaded with a hand-pulled cart, the others were picked and carried by strong men on their shoulders. The bride sits on a bicycle (the road is close to walking, and it was the most fashionable to pick up the bride with a bicycle at that time), and the "driver" is the owner of the bicycle.
At that time, it was difficult to borrow six bicycles from one hutong, and many of them were borrowed from several nearby hutongs.
At other times, the owner of the bicycle generally does not borrow, but knowing that the other party is picking up the bride, he will generally borrow the common name of joy.
It is best to pick up the bride's bicycle with a famous brand of "permanent" and "phoenix", you must know that the "permanent" "phoenix" of this era is no different from the "BMW" and "Mercedes-Benz" of later generations.
In terms of bicycles, Uncle Jiang doesn't need to worry about it at all, Ye Lin has it all.
The fat man had already gone to the military academy at this time, so Ye Lin did not look for the fat man, but let his little brothers come over.
Ye Lin's younger brothers were not admitted to college, and now they are all unemployed at home, that is, waiting for assignments.
Anyway, they didn't have anything to do, so Ye Lin asked some people to come over, but Ye Lin didn't call many people, so he let twenty people come.
Similarly, there were also twenty bicycles, and they were all new bicycles, or phoenix's, which were all provided by Ye Lin.
Originally, Ye Lin wanted to get a few more, but was rejected by Uncle Jiang, in Uncle Jiang's words, this is too high-profile.
Ye Lin thought about it and forgot it, it is indeed not too high-profile, twenty bicycles are used for marriage, and it is a phoenix brand, it is estimated that there are not a few in the entire imperial capital.
This is also because Uncle Jiang's family is a poor peasant of three generations, otherwise, Ye Lin will prepare three cars for him at most.
The new daughter-in-law was quickly taken back, to be honest, to be able to marry Uncle Jiang's family, the new daughter-in-law and her mother's family are very willing.
Because Uncle Jiang's family has a better life, let's put it this way! At least it is many times stronger than the new daughter-in-law's mother's family.
Otherwise, it would not be possible to get married here as soon as it is booked.
Throughout the sixties, the bride price was four dollars, and the bride price was two pounds of sugar.
Uncle Jiang didn't deduct it so much, not only gave a dowry of sixteen yuan, but also prepared a four-color gift.
The four-color ceremony is four catties of sugar, four catties of snacks, four bottles of wine and four catties of meat.
This is unimaginable in this era, you must know that many families may not be able to eat four catties of meat a year.
Of course, these are all supported by Ye Lin, otherwise Uncle Jiang would not be able to get these tickets even if he is rich!
Especially meat tickets and sugar tickets, snacks don't need tickets, but wine also needs tickets, and Uncle Jiang didn't take an ordinary two-pot head, but Yanghe Daqu.
This wine costs more than a dollar for a bottle, and you also need a wine ticket when you buy it.
And in this era, the newcomer's clothes are worn as usual, the same plain.
Not only that, but there is also a popular "four-one project," that is, a double bed, a hot water bottle, a basin, and a spittoon can be married.
In this era, marriage has to be carried out simply and in a low-key manner.
And love and marriage in this era have been endowed with a lot of revolutionary colors.
In the middle of Uncle Jiang's house hangs a portrait of Grandpa Mao, and on the wall there are couplets sent from the street.
It reads: "Start a business and start a family, and ...... at thirty"
Jiang Yuan and his daughter-in-law were wearing the same clothes as usual, and they were wearing a big red flower on their chests.
At the beginning of the wedding, a couple first bowed respectfully to Grandpa Mao's statue.
Then the comrades in the street warmly congratulated, and the congratulatory comrades also cheered with the program, some singing and some dancing.
Finally, with the bride and groom singing "Socialism is Good", the wedding ended.
At this time, marriage was generally carried out at night, because the day was used to do revolutionary work, that is, to work.
Wedding banquets are basically non-existent, and most of them are to ask the person to help to eat a bowl of noodles, and two eggs must be put in the noodles.
Of course, this is a common phenomenon, Uncle Jiang has prepared a wedding banquet, because Jiang Yuan is the eldest of their family, and the eldest gets married, of course, he can't just do it casually.
Because Uncle Jiang still has a son! He has to show it to others, so that others know the conditions of his family, so that the child can find a daughter-in-law.
Of course, Uncle Jiang, an honest man, couldn't think of this, this was basically done by Ye Lin.
Of course, it was also agreed by Uncle Jiang, if Uncle Jiang did not agree, it would be useless for Ye Lin to say anything.
In this era, we also pay attention to the followers, at least two cents, at most two yuan, and for five cents, the whole family can eat a meat and vegetarian meal.
However, the banquet in this era is very simple, buy some pig's head, pig water, stew with cabbage, boil cabbage, add some fat and meat skin when radish, these two things are put on the table, and then put two catties of bulk liquor, even if it is a table.
It seems very simple, but in this era, there are a few that can make it, not to mention the pig in the water, and how many people can buy the pig's head.
To be honest, if it weren't for Ye Lin, not to mention the pig's head, even Uncle Jiang would have nowhere to buy it.
These pig-headed pigs went into the water, they were all given to Uncle Jiang by Ye Lin, and they didn't need money at all, anyway, Uncle Jiang had worked for himself for so long, and it was not a matter of course to send this little thing.
In addition to the accompanying parts, there are also congratulatory gifts, and the congratulatory gifts are mainly three major items, washbasins, thermoses, towels or quilts.
Of course, in addition to these three pieces, there are also Grandpa Mao's portrait chapters and plaster statues, and the plaster statue is the kind that Grandpa Mao went to Anyuan.
Of course, Ye Lin also gave gifts, and he gave all the gifts that everyone gave, what basins, thermoses, towels, quilts, like seals, plaster statues.
Not only that, Ye Lin also gave each newcomer a red envelope, and each red envelope contained sixty-six yuan, six cents and six cents, representing six or six Shun.
In addition to these, Ye Lin also gave the newcomer a bicycle, a phoenix bicycle, but only one, this is Ye Lin's intention, if there are two, it is time for one person to ride one, and one can be carried.
To be honest, Ye Lin really doesn't care about a bicycle.
It's not worth much, compared to the money Uncle Jiang has earned him over the years, it's just a drizzle, not even a drizzle.
Of course, this is just Ye Lin's thoughts, Uncle Jiang's family doesn't think so, they are grateful to Ye Lin!
Ye Lin didn't stay to eat, Uncle Jiang understood this very well, these dishes made today were very rare in the eyes of others, but Ye Lin didn't eat them at all.
There were so many people, and he couldn't do it for Ye Lin alone, so Ye Lin left after the wedding.
Leaving with Ye Lin were the twenty little brothers he brought.
If it weren't for these twenty little brothers, Ye Lin wouldn't have left even if he didn't eat, but with them, Ye Lin had to leave.
Twenty young men, how much do you have to eat! There were not many meals originally prepared, and there was no way, Ye Lin could only take them out to eat.
Ye Lin took his little brother out to eat, so I won't talk about it.
On Uncle Jiang's side, everyone left after the banquet, this is not the afterlife, and there is a new house, which is not allowed in this era.
Uncle Jiang's family sat in the hall to take inventory, counting how much money was spent and how much money was collected.
"Dad, the gift money is a total of one hundred and seventy-three dollars and two cents. Jiang Yuan handed the money to his father.
"Keep the money for yourselves! You two just got married, and you still have a lot of things to spend on. ”
How could Uncle Jiang care about this money, he has made a lot of money with Ye Lin over the years, although he hasn't sold food for a while, but he used to make a lot of money.
Hearing his father say this, Jiang Yuan was ready to put the money away.
At this time, the bride hurriedly said: "Dad, we don't need to buy anything, you should take the money!"
After the bride finished speaking, she took the money from Jiang Yuan's hand and handed it to Uncle Jiang.
"No, you better take it!"
"Dad, we really don't need it, there are younger brothers and sisters at home, and there are many places where you need money, you can put away this money and give it to your younger brothers and sisters in the future. ”
If Ye Lin was here, he would definitely pat Jiang Yuan on the shoulder and say, "How is it? Your daughter-in-law is good, right?"
"This ......" Uncle Jiang hesitated a little.
"Dad! That's it! We don't have much money to spend now. The bride put the money directly into Uncle Jiang's hands.
"Well, if you need money, let me know. ”
"Dad, we don't need it, Jiang Yuan has a job, although the salary is not much, but we eat at home, which is enough. ”
"Why is there so much money?" Jiang's mother asked at this time.
In Jiang's mother's mind, it would be good to be able to collect a few dozen yuan, but there are more than a hundred without ideas.
Uncle Jiang thought for a while and said, "It should be Ye Lin who gave more!"
"Well, Mom and Dad, Ye Lin gave two red envelopes, one red envelope is sixty-six yuan and six cents, and these two red envelopes are more than one hundred and thirty. ”
"I see, I can't say so much!" Mother Jiang nodded.
"Not only that, these meats, vegetables, and those wines were all sent by Ye Lin. Uncle Jiang said with a wry smile.
