Youyou's mother, Zhiyuan, Zhiliang, and Haohao went to Linshui to take the train with the whole family of Aijun, and the winter vacation was over, and they all had to go back to school.

Zhibin Zhixin Zhiping and Zhiru live in their grandmother's house, and the old people like to be next generation, making grandpa and grandma happy, and they can't keep their mouths together all day long.

The family is still cooking and eating at home, and when everyone is gone, the responsibility of cooking falls on Youyo, and Zhiru will also help.

Didi studied with Wu Xin'er's aunt and grandmother, and was affectionately called Dr. Wu by the patient, and he kept a straight face all day long.

Wu Xin'er and David stayed, and the bedding designed by David was on holiday due to the Chinese New Year, and the garment factory was on holiday, and it was not yet processed, so he stayed in Hantun and waited for the finished product.

Hantun Lianzhong School opened on the eighteenth day of the first month, Zhibin, Zhixin and Zhiping all became new students in the school, Zhibin and Zhiru were in the third grade, and Zhixin and Zhiping were in the first grade.

After the start of school, the children in Hantun Village all ate in the student cafeteria, and the three of them felt particularly fresh.

Zhibin said: "The school in our village is much better than the school near the water, and there are people who go to school with food. ”

Zhiping also said: "It's better than the army's school, and the food is delicious." ”

Zhiru told them: "You can't just eat, study well, and don't disgrace our family." I can tell you, everyone in our family is the first in the class. ”

Zhiru is right, the exam results of the previous year, Yoyo Didi and Zhiru are both first, Zhigao is definitely second, he is in the same class as Yoyo.

Zhibin was the first to react and said to Zhiru: "The two of us are in the same class, I am the elder brother, and you will be the second in the future." ”

Zhiru was dumbfounded, and said with annoyance: "Zhigao is younger than Sister Youyou, he is the second." Brother Zhibin, you're back, and I'm going to have to be the second one.

Alas?? The ancients did not deceive me!"

Zhixin said happily: "I know, this is what the Three Kingdoms said. Zhiping, I'm also my brother, and you will be the second in the future. ”

Zhiping said unhappily: "You are a few days older than me, let's discuss it, take turns to be the first line, I am in school, but I have always been the first." ”

Zhixin said domineeringly: "I am also my brother in a few days of college, and we both take the double hundred exam, and we are both first." ”

In the first and second grades, you can take the double 100 exam, and in the third grade, there is an essay in the Chinese exam, and it is too difficult to score 100 points.

Zhiru looked at the two of them and became even more entangled: "If I don't have an essay in the third grade, I can also take the double hundred exam." ”

Zhibin said to her: "Don't be naïve, Sister Youyou can't even take a hundred Chinese exams." ”

In this family, Yoyo is a role model and benchmark for children.

After several contacts, Dongmei and Han Zhiming felt that they were suitable. Han Daowei's family happily engaged the two.

They invited Han Daocun's grandmother "old mule" to be a matchmaker, she herself is the "understanding person" in the village, and the red and white affairs in the village, related to women, all rely on her to Zhang Luo, and the engagement process is clear.

The two children agreed, and the two families had no opinion, the matchmaker of the "old mule" should be really smooth.

Dongmei's family means that since the two children originally intended, the marriage is just a formality, and there is such a thing, and they don't want to make a big deal.

Dongmei's grandfather said: "I know that Hantun Village is doing well, and Daowei and their family are also talkers, but my family is not greedy for the bride price of the girl, but the big thing is eye-catching, and the two families just exchange a Geng post." ”

Han Daowei's family wanted to make a big deal, and their statement was: "Dongmei is such a good child, I can't wronged her." It's not that there is no money, this is a happy event for children, so it has to be lively. ”

The "old mule" said to Hongying in private: "Hongying, you go home and persuade the old man, since Daowei and their family want to do a big deal, they will follow them, so it shows that their family likes the child."

We know that Zhiming and Dongmei are married, and their family asked for it first. But from an outsider's point of view, it's still our Dongmei climbing. In the past few years, we Hantun young people have been looking for objects, and they are all looking for them, and Zhiming is a college student, so don't you think that Dongmei is climbing their home.

To tell you the truth, if they hadn't said it first, I would have thought about telling Dongmei to my morality, just thinking about the difference in seniority, but I didn't expect to be robbed by the Daowei family. ”

Hongying was stunned by her, thought about it carefully and said, "Grandma, this is really inappropriate, our two villages are so close, it's not good to call it because of the difference in seniority." ”

The "old mule" said regretfully: "We all thought wrong, Guijin and your family Shengying are even more outrageously wrong, they are not married, and they are living well now." There is no blood relationship, and each parent is called by his own name.

Alas, it's too late to say anything now. Daowei and their family, don't look short, they have a lot of eyes. ”

After listening to their discussions, Yoyo suddenly remembered that there seems to be a famous saying in later generations: what is condensed is a fine product, and what is said is that you are short.

The day of the engagement of the two is the sixth day of the second month, and the big thing that Han Daowei's family said is really big enough.

According to the custom here, the engagement banquet is held at the woman's house, but it is organized by the man's family. The man took his things and the cook and went to the woman's house in advance to prepare.

The engagement banquet is troublesome enough for both men and women. Therefore, the man's family would rather give more bride price than hold an engagement banquet.

In the past, the engagement was carried out in the afternoon, and the man followed the matchmaker, took the engagement items, and sent them to the woman's home.

In the past two years, life has been good, and the engagement banquet has been held again, and most of them will be organized by people who have lived well.

The engagement banquet prepared by Han Daowei's family is not only the highest standard "three tables", but also two "three tables" for both men and women.

Originally, Han Zhiming had already started school, and he deliberately asked for leave from school in order to get engaged.

Their family's bride price is not out of line, and like most of the engagements, it is also 300 yuan. But in addition to the bride price, they prepared a pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets for Dongmei. This is Han Daowei's daughter-in-law, who bought it at the Friendship Store in Kyoto last year.

Today's bracelets are all pure gold and sufficient amounts. Or according to the original one-pound sixteen taels system, each bracelet is 31.25 grams. The price of gold in the country is 32 yuan per gram, and a bracelet is 1,000 yuan. A pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets, but 2,000 yuan.

In 1976, the country's gold price was $21.96 per gram. Since the implementation of the country's reform and opening up in seven or eight years, the price of gold has risen year by year, and gold shops in provincial-level cities have also resumed business.

The brand-new golden bracelet was packed in a red satin box, and when it was opened, it won a piece of exclamation, and the rural people had only heard of gold jewelry, but they really didn't see much.

Everyone said: "I didn't expect to see real gold in this life, dip in the light of winter plums, and follow the long knowledge." ”
