Chapter 6: The Bends of the Road (11) (2)
The people, of course, did not dare to tell the truth. He replied with a squeak that it was only after the idea of her mother that her mother agreed to the two of them.
Sour Apricot will definitely not believe the nonsense made up by the people. He guessed that there must be some kind of episode story in this. He didn't insist on continuing to ask. As long as the family agrees, they still care about what they do. It is only right to set a wedding date as soon as possible and prepare for the marriage as soon as possible. So, ask someone to come to the door to propose, and then according to the customs of the village, complete the routines such as housekeeping, expiration, etc., and the marriage will be determined. Under the repeated urging of osmanthus, the two families set an exact wedding date, and held the wedding on the 28th of the lunar month, and they didn't even dare to miss the New Year. Such a hasty marriage arrangement caught the sour apricot family off guard.
Sour Xing had carefully discussed with her in-laws osmanthus whether to wait until the New Year and hold the marriage in the spring. First, it is better to prepare for the marriage affairs well. Second, it will not be in a hurry and make the villagers laugh. Osmanthus firmly disagreed. She scolded in her heart, you old ghost knows what. If you drag it out any longer and drag the stomach of the waiter out of the bulge, it will make the whole village laugh.
Sour apricot didn't dare to disobey this young and easy-to-turn new in-law. He had to do as she told him. So, the family went to the construction site during the day and worked desperately. When I got home, I stayed up and fought at night.
The people of the village knew that the people and their children were going to get married before the end of the year. Every day when I came back from work and left my job, many * women took the initiative to come and help Zhang Luo with some trivial chores. In this way, it can make the sour apricot woman gasp. Four Seasons Lanxiang and his family were even detained in Sour Xing's house overnight, as if they were hardcore relatives who had been dating for many years.
Although the time is pressing, fortunately, the sour apricot woman has already prepared some necessary items for the people, such as cotton, quilts, fabrics and so on. On weekdays, I also saved some money by eating and saving. Sour apricots aren't so anxious about these yet. What really makes Sour Apricot anxious is that the people's new house has not yet been settled. I wanted to build a new house for the people next spring. No matter when the people can marry a daughter-in-law, there must be a courtyard placed there. What I never expected was that the people's marriage would be so anxious that they didn't even leave time for preparation.
Just when the sour apricot was in a hurry on the roof beam, Zhenshu rushed over. He said to Sour Xing, I know that you are worried about the people's new house. Don't you panic, don't I still have an old courtyard that is not used. Just clean it up first, and finish the marriage. Wait for the spring of the Chinese New Year, and then start rebuilding, it's too late.
When Sour Apricot heard it, it was like grabbing a life-saving straw in the ocean. He said, "Okay, okay, you've done me a great favor." Otherwise, I'm going to move into the pot house first, and let the hall house be used as a new house for the babies.
Thus, the people's comfort nest has finally been settled. All the preparations for the marriage were also done overnight.
At this time, the construction site has also come to an end. Because the closer you get to the town outside the mountain, the flatter the terrain and the easier it is to repair the road. In some places, as long as the roadbed is paved, the road surface can be smoothed to some extent. As a result, the still rough roadbed has opened up the passage in and out of the mountain, and it is far away from the street in front of the town hospital. The villagers finally breathed a sigh of relief. They crowded at the intersection and laughed and played for a long time.
Zhenfu didn't care about asking for xylophones. He told a few cubs to run to the supply and marketing cooperative's store, bought thirty elongated firecrackers, and hung them in a long line on the intersection. Mao Lin stepped forward and made a gesture to light a whip to celebrate. Sour Xing hurriedly stopped him, saying that he was not in a hurry, and waited. Tell Brother Zhenshu to make a good calculation, and then whip it at an auspicious hour.
Zhenshu, who had been hiding behind the crowd, was pushed to the front. Everyone urged him to hurry up and calculate, when to whip it.
Zhenshu is waiting to be left alone. But seeing that it was Sour Xing who personally ordered his own mao, it was difficult to shirk it. He pondered for a long time, calculated for a long time, and said, "It is best to rush at eleven o'clock at noon, and the gods of fortune, wealth, and joy just look around." Although there are evil gods haunting the left and right, after all, the three gods can't gather auspicious qi to collide. No matter how big the evil spirit is, it will lose its majesty, so why not. Zhenshu's words, the villagers all believed it, and they all said that such a big thing had to catch up with a good time.
While waiting for the auspicious time, the villagers took the initiative to devote themselves to the easy work of repairing the road surface with joyful energy. [End of Chapter]
