A few days after the start of school, Liu Qingtao got married, and Bai Zong and Bai Ke came to attend the wedding.

The wedding in this year was extremely simple, with no host, no wedding dress, and no convoy to welcome relatives.

Even the weddings of people in the city are simpler and shabby than those in the countryside.

This is because the people in the city are more completely broken, and the old rites and customs of the past have all been forgotten.

During this period, people rarely went to the hotel to hold weddings, and they all found a chef to make a few dishes at home, and then stuffed a few tables in the house.

The people at each table are shoulder to shoulder, leg by leg, and the guests between the tables are also back to back.

Life seems to have always been like this, and the more difficult times are, the more people crave to embrace each other.

Bai Zong and Bai Ke came a little late, and Liu Qingtao's family arranged a more important and closer position for them.

The stranger adults who had been seated got up one after another, greeted each other with smiling faces, and turned sideways to give way.

Liu Qingtao's parents are both employees of the Red Star Woolen Factory, and Liu Qingtao and his daughter-in-law are also employees of the Red Star Woolen Factory.

Before the mid-80s, the treatment of large state-owned factories was still good.

Upstairs and downstairs electric lights and telephones, talking about the communist life of the big brother in the Northeast.

Therefore, before the mid-80s, the people of the Northeast were indeed a little arrogant, and some looked down on the southerners who went south and north to seek a living.

It wasn't until a few years later that they themselves had to shed tears in their homeland, abandon their families and businesses, and go north and south.

Liu Qingtao's house is naturally also a building, as soon as you enter the door, there is a big kitchen, and then you go inside is a big house, and then there is a door on the right hand, and there is also a big room inside.

Due to the large space of the kitchen, many families divide the kitchen into a space similar to a dining room.

In this so-called dining room, two tables are placed, and the seats are all immediate family members of Liu Qingtao's family, or neighbors with relatively strong connections.

In the big room inside, there was a table on the kang and two tables on the ground.

The people sitting in this room are basically Liu Qingtao's co-workers or distant relatives and the like.

In the big room on the right, people from the woman's family are basically sitting, or elders with more noble status, leaders in the factory, and the like.

Bai Zong and Bai Ke were arranged in the innermost room.

According to custom, children are generally not assigned seats, even the children of the woman's family.

And Bai Zong and Bai Ke not only have seats, but they are also second only to the seats of the woman's parents.

Bai Zong and Bai Ke were wearing Mao suits made by their mothers.

Mother Qin Yongmei has always been innovative, and the tunic she made is closer to the school uniform of the old society, tighter and more suitable for young people.

The two brothers sat there, they were really heroic and extraordinary, which attracted the attention of adults.

Even the leaders of Liu Qingtao's unit took the initiative to come over to say hello.

At present, the marriage of people in the city does not have the big business of later generations, nor the old etiquette customs of the current rural people.

But cigarette toasts are still indispensable.

In these days, people have not yet been aware of environmental protection, and even children like Baike can't run, so they still have to express themselves.

After eating and drinking, people left one after another, and everyone had a few dollars pressed on the bottom of the bowl, which was called the bottom of the bowl.

This is what later generations called followers.

It was only in the late 70s that this matter began to exist.

Before that, people went to weddings to give things.

For example, send a set of tea sets, send a mirror, send a pair of pillowcases, and so on.

The reason why there is such a thing as entourage is largely due to the fact that people's incomes at that time were too low, and it was difficult for a family to support a wedding banquet.

So everyone huddles together to keep warm, today you help me, tomorrow I will help you.

But at this time, everyone pays attention to etiquette when doing this, and it is not so vulgar and explicit.

The money given to the newcomer is quietly pressed at the bottom of the bowl.

Unlike later generations, when you go to a wedding, there is a person blocking the door to collect money, and then you get a big red piece of paper to advertise who has paid how much and how much.

It's like they're collecting donations.

During this period, the money at the bottom of the bowl was generally three or five yuan, and a particularly good relationship was given at most a big unity.

Therefore, when the two brothers of Bai Zong and Bai Ke got up and left with the last few people, the bride and groom chased after them.

Liu Qingtao was a little anxious with a handful of great unity: "I said, how can you two give so much?"

Bai Zong and Bai Ke each pressed 10 big solidarities at the bottom of the bowl.

The bride is also a real person, and bowed to the two brothers again and again: "Thank you brothers for being so generous, I heard Taozi say that you two brothers have the ability, but the meaning is fine, you can't give so much, this favor is too heavy." ”

When Bai Zongzheng was embarrassed, Bai Ke smiled: "Just keep it with you." ”

Liu Qingtao and the bride looked at each other, speechless for a while.

It will take five or six years for Bai Zong to get married, and it will take more than ten years for Bai Ke to get married.

By that time, everyone's life would be better, and 180 yuan would not be a big burden.

However, at the moment, it seems that Bai Zong's personal life problems are not smooth, and he may even face great obstacles.

Bai Zong met Lu Yanan after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

With Bai Zong's skill, it didn't take long for the relationship with Lu Yanan to be determined.

Lu Yanan also works in a textile factory and is a car stopper.

The textile factory where she works is the largest in the county, and even the largest in the province, called Dayang Textile Factory, referred to as Dafang.

Because Bai Zong's working hours are relatively free, and Lu Yanan always works three shifts.

So they always choose a date when everyone else is at work.

Except for the old and young people who know about it from grandpa and Baike, the other family members basically don't know.

But Bai Ke knew that his mother would soon find out.

Mom is also a detective, no matter how busy she is at work, she still sees every move of her children.

What's more, Bai Zong is not like Bai Bin and Bai Ke, who are thoughtful, and they hide everything in their hearts.

His joys, sorrows, and sorrows were written on his face.

Three days after attending Liu Qingtao's wedding, when the whole family of seven finished eating together, Bai Zong quickly finished eating and got up to leave.

Qin Yongmei suddenly raised her head and said, "Don't go out, I'll look for you in your house in a while." ”

The old mother had a serious face when she spoke, and Bai Zong's expression immediately became nervous.

"Good. He agreed, and hurried back to his room.

Among the four brothers and sisters in the family, only the youngest two, Bai Ning and Bai Ke, are not afraid of their mother.

Bai Zong and Bai Bin began to drum in their hearts as soon as they saw their mother's face.

In their eyes, Qin Yongmei is definitely not a loving mother.

This life is already much better.

In the last life, Bai Ke remembered that whenever the second brother Bai Bin stole his grandfather's snacks.

Bai Ce would only spread his hands and sigh: "Oops!

Qin Yongmei didn't say a word, picked up the broom and hit it.

After everyone finished eating, Bai Ke and Bai Ning cleaned up the table, and the old mother got up to find Bai Zong.

Bai Ke suddenly became a little uneasy.

In the last life, my mother did not object to Bai Zong and Lu Yanan falling in love.

Because Bai Zong was fighting against big bags in the factory at that time, he was a great man.

And Qin Yongmei herself is a sewing worker in a garment factory.

Bai Cekong has a culture, and he is just a warehouse at the head of the West Sea.

Lu Yanan didn't dislike this family, it's not good.

This life is different, Bai Zong is the captain of the construction team with a lot of money.

Bai Ce and Qin Yongmei are also eating imperial food and are engaged in respected professions.

After cleaning up the table, Bai Ning was washing the dishes, and Bai Ke hurriedly came to the door of the eldest brother's room and eavesdropped on the movements inside.

Sure enough, my mother didn't feel good as soon as she opened her mouth.

"Bai Zong, you see how handsome you are, more handsome than your father when he was young. ”

Bai Ke can guess the proud and shy appearance of the eldest brother without looking.

"You see you're so tall, half a head taller than your mother. ”

"You're so tall and handsome, there must be a lot of girls who like you......"

Bai Zongmei laughed out loud: "It's okay, it's not much, hehe......"

Bai Ke couldn't help but say in his heart: Brother, you have a snack, Mom, this is praising you, this is a trick for you. Now it's time for you to know what it means to sit on pins and needles.
