Chapter 193: A Succession of Weddings
Feng Jiachong was very lively today, and at noon, accompanied by the sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers, four cars and two trucks with the word "happy" drove in.
The first car was a Mercedes-Benz, naturally one of the ten cars at Jiasheng's wedding, a young man who worked in a cabinet factory in the town, wearing a blue suit and red tie, and a red flower on his chest, smiled and led a girl dressed up in a red wedding dress out of the car.
Today is a big day for both of them.
Although the lunar calendar is only two and a half months, today's incident is Feng Jiachong's third wedding this year.
It seems that all of a sudden, those single young men in Feng Jiachong have become popular all of a sudden, relatives, relatives of relatives, friends of friends...... In short, as long as you can have some relationship with Feng Jiachong, you can either inquire about it yourself, or ask an acquaintance, for one purpose, to find a suitable young man in Feng Jiachong as a candidate for your son-in-law.
It can't be said that they have this plan, they have the mentality of taking advantage, mainly for their daughter to live a good life after she gets married, of course, if her daughter can live a good life at the same time, she can also help her mother's family, it is naturally better.
And nearly ten miles and eight towns to the left, Feng Jiachong's days must be among the best, and it seems that they will get better and better - from the time they came to Feng Jiachong to see it.
In just a few years, the changes in Fengjiachong have been subversive, and after crossing that hill by car, you can see a completely different scene from other villages.
Although there are still some families who live in old adobe houses, most of them have lived in chic two- to three-story buildings, which are not only beautiful and comfortable to live in, but also very suitable.
And those small buildings that have been built are not like other villages. The east building and the west building are obviously planned, front and back, left and right, with very even spacing, leaving a road where at least two cars can walk side by side, and trees are planted on the side of the road.
On the road. While there are flocks of chickens foraging for food, puppies running with their tails crossed, and big cattle being driven by people jumping with burdens, there are also trucks and motorcycles passing by from time to time.
The surrounding fields and vegetable gardens are well tended as in other places, but in the middle of these fields there is a factory and the village from the kindergarten to the activity center to the medical station. From kiosks to farmers' markets to inns, there's something in town, and there's one here.
…………
In short, this is the new countryside where the urban and the rural, the remote and the modern, are perfectly blended.
It's the best to marry your daughter here.
Similarly, Feng Jiachong's girls are also in demand. However, these two years. Feng Jiachong's girl, it is getting more and more difficult to marry.
These girls are also high-spirited now, and if they want her to marry and stay at home to farm and take care of the elderly, it is impossible, and they will not follow you to work on the coast now.
If you don't want to go far, the village is still the town. I can arrange a job, and I can save a lot of money every month.
When girls become financially self-reliant, a direct consequence is that they will start a family later and later.
And. Parents are not like the girls who did not continue to study in the past, as soon as they reached the age of seventeen or eighteen, they were anxious about their marriage, and now they can pick and choose, and a girl can bring at least 20,000 yuan of net income to the family a year, so there is no hurry.
…………
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the machines of several factories in the village all stopped, and Feng Zhenchang also followed the workers to go back to the cemetery to drink happy wine.
The current banquet is also different from the previous two years, it has been undertaken by a professional team, and the tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks are all prepared by themselves, and the host saves trouble and worry.
It's not like before, scattered in various houses, but now it's all concentrated in the enlarged threshing floor - in fact, it should be called a small square, and it's easy to run the hall, and it's even more festive when so many people get together.
The stove is still the same as before, the same is open-air, at this time the aroma is fragrant, the people who have just come back from the factory, laughing and walking around the small square, hurried home to change clothes, and then, the younger ones go to see the bride, and the older ones sit at the table that has been set up, eating melon seeds and peanuts and chatting.
The bride's cousin and his wife, who have been working in the south.
At this time, her cousin was accompanied by an uncle of the man, and watched Feng Zhenchang over there also greet people, go home to change clothes, and asked, "That's Uncle Feng,"
The man's uncle smiled, "He is from my grandfather's generation, but it doesn't matter if you call him uncle, now I don't care as much as before." ”
"Oh, I'm sorry, I really don't know this generation," but that's not what he wanted to say, "Grandpa Feng, their family is really famous now, and they all say that his family is at least the richest family in the county and city, so like these happy events in the village, they won't give a lot of gifts!"
This is a bit of an outsider, the importance of rural gift-giving is only related to the distance of the relationship, and has nothing to do with the rich and poor, like today's family, and Feng Yiping's family is not in the same room, Feng Zhenchang's gift is the same as the big guy, and it can't overshadow the man's uncle's family and uncles and aunts.
"They are as good as everyone else,"
"Oh," the woman's cousin was visibly disappointed.
"However, do you know how many gifts their family indirectly gave for this marriage?" said the man's uncle, "The four cars that greeted the relatives were all their own and the company's cars, and even the drivers were all from them, only the Mercedes-Benz was his girl, and now Yuxuan, who is in charge of the wedding company, was sent back from the provincial capital and received some money symbolically,"
"This is actually nothing, today for this marriage, several factories of his family, three hours early, do you know how much a factory stopped working for an hour, how much the loss is? That's not a small amount,"
The cousin of this bride can still calculate, he also works in someone else's factory, "Hehe, yes, they really have nothing to say about it,"
In fact, what the groom's uncle said, there is also an ambush in it, several factories in the village are off work three hours in advance today, but these three hours, tonight and tomorrow night, will be made up, otherwise a family will get married and take a three-hour vacation, a year, it is several working days.
Whether it is food or tea, it is very popular, there has been no inventory, it is not good to take holidays at will, and the proportion of export orders received now has been increasing, and the delivery date must not be delayed.
"My brother-in-law's house looks like a good life, the newly built building is also well decorated, but I heard that their family still borrowed some foreign debts for this, and my sister has to help pay off the debt as soon as she passes the door.
"I don't know where you heard these words, our village generally saves almost all the money, and then rebuilds the house, even if they have some debts, it is not much, your sister will have a job as soon as she passes the door, the two of them, as long as they don't spend a lot of money, they can save at least 30,000 or 40,000 yuan a year, and in a few years, they can consider buying a car, such a life is not good?"
…………
The ceremony is still according to the old routine, under the auspices of the fourth uncle, everyone surrounded a pair of newlyweds, worshiped in the ancestral hall, worshiped the heaven and earth and worshiped the ancestors, when the husband and wife worshipped each other, several living guys looked at each other, and at the same time pushed the groom and the bride forward, so that the little couple hit a crisp sound head to head.
But the newcomer was not annoyed, touching his head and smirking at each other.
Here, the person in charge immediately set off a firecracker, which was the signal to open the table, and Feng Zhenchang also arrived at this time, and was immediately arranged at the main table - this has nothing to do with his net worth, because of his high seniority.
Now on such an occasion, he no longer dares to drink alcohol, but instead drinks juice, because there are too many people toasting, and they are too enthusiastic, as long as you drink a glass, you must be drunk in the end.
This is him, if he is someone else, someone else toasts you and drinks juice, who does it? But now, rushing to his seniority and strength, no one is unreasonable to compare this truth, touch a glass with him, say a few words, and feel very face-saving.
Feng Zhenchang, who didn't drink and felt a little drunk, looked at the pair of young people with happy faces, and unconsciously remembered the marriage of their children, the son was fine, and the daughter made them a little worried, she is 26 years old this year, but she still doesn't even have a boyfriend.
