Chapter 19: Marriage (II)
Mu Dong hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Director Wu is good. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½β
Wu Juntian snorted lightly, almost inaudible. Then he said: "It's a good thing that you pay attention to safe production." But we're here to enforce the law, so what kind of hat should we change? Don't be so rigid in doing things. β
The official voice is full.
Mu Daodao stood beside him with his head drooping, he felt that he had caused trouble, and he was annoyed in his heart.
Mu Dong hurriedly said: "Yes, what you said makes sense, we will pay attention." β
Then he welcomed a few people into the office, handed cigarettes and made tea, and was busy.
Seeing that Mu Dong was busy, Wu Juntian said: "Mu Dong, in this way, your yard is operating without going through industrial and commercial registration, which is an illegal operation and will be fined." β
Mu Dong nodded and said: "Punishment, punishment, is our responsibility, we admit punishment." β
In a word, Wu Juntian and Mu Jinqian both nodded secretly.
Wu Juntian felt that Mu Dong was sensible, so it was good to admit punishment.
Mu Jinqian felt that Mu Dong knew how to be measured. Such a thing, the most afraid of all kinds of justifications, do not accept fines. It is not the main thing to deny the penalty, the main thing is to strive for less fines.
Mu Dong continued: "We have just been established, nothing is sound, you look at the punishment, look at the punishment." β
Hey, that's a bit interesting. Nothing is sound......
Mu Jinqian hurriedly handed over the sentence: "Director Wu, you see the mess here, let's let Mu Dong go to the institute to accept the punishment, and by the way, make up the industrial and commercial registration procedures." β
Mu Jinqian's words have two meanings. The first is to stop Director Wu from issuing a penalty notice on the spot, but to go to the institute to accept the punishment and give Director Wu a home advantage, and some things can be operated privately.
Wu Juntian also understood, Mu Jinqian protected this kid.
Yes, Mu Jinqian's face has to be given. If you can't bite the fat, just tear it off.
Just think about it: "Come to the office on Monday to go through the procedures." β
After saying that, he said goodbye and left. Before leaving, he also shook hands with Mu Jinqian and Mu Dong respectively.
Watching the van of the industrial and commercial office drive away, several people breathed a sigh of relief.
Mu Dong said to Mu Jinqian: "Grandpa, thank you, thanks to you for breaking the siege." β
Mu Jinqian said: "My family doesn't talk about it, but I invested money in you." β
Mu Dong patted Mu Daodao's shoulder again and comforted: "Great Dao, it's okay, you did the right thing." They're here to find fault, and if they don't have that, they have to find something else. β
Mu Jinqian whispered to Mu Dong: "You go by yourself on Monday, go to Director Wu to report to work first, do you know the rules?"
Mu Dongdao: "I understand the rules, it's just that this specification ......"
Mu Jinqian stretched out two fingers, and Mu Dong nodded. It was about the same as I expected.
Then they took their leave.
The next day was Sunday. Mu Dong went to the county seat, bought a few shopping cards, and thought about buying a few more. It's better to prepare a few to spare, maybe you'll use them sometime, hey.
A peaceful day passed.
October 6th, the eighth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, Monday.
After breakfast, Mu Dong called his sister Mu Xiaoxia first and told him about the weekly settlement of the yard today. Today is the first transfer day for the full implementation of the settlement every Monday, and many drivers are staring at it.
After making the call, Mu Dong went out with ten gift bags and went to the industrial and commercial office.
The gift bag is a red cloth bag with the word double happiness printed on it, and it contains snacks, candy and a box of cigarettes.
Mu Dong asked Mu Jinqian in advance, and there were about seven or eight people in the industrial and commercial group, and they brought ten copies, only a lot more.
The industrial and commercial office in the center of the town is an independent courtyard, and Director Wu's office is in the easternmost room.
Mu Dong knocked on the door and entered. Wu Juntian was sitting behind his desk reading the newspaper when he saw Mu Dong coming in, stood up, and said, "Boss Mu is here." "Talking about making tea.
How could Mu Dong let him make tea, he took it quickly, made tea for himself, and refilled Wu Juntian's teacup.
Then Mu Dong said: "Director Wu, just in time for me to marry today, I brought some candy, and I have to trouble you to send it to the leaders." β
As he spoke, he took out a pack separately and put it on Wu Juntian's table: "This is for you alone, don't dislike it." β
Wu Juntian said with a smile: "How can you dislike it, let's be a little happy, thank you Boss Mu." β
As he spoke, he picked up the phone on the table and dialed the number: "I'll find someone to take you to apply for industrial and commercial registration first, and I'll talk about the fine later." β
After a while, someone came over and took Mu Dong out.
Wu Juntian opened the gift bag on the table and took out two shopping cards in the cigarette box, with a note in the lower right corner of each card, 1,000 yuan.
Wu Juntian sighed in his heart, talking is better than nothing. Boss Mu is quite sensible.
After a while, Mu Dong returned. The formalities have been completed, and it will take a few days to collect the certificate.
A few minutes later, Mu Dong got a penalty notice: a fine of 1,000 yuan.
It's not too much and it's not too little, Boss Mu can accept it, and Director Wu can get by on face.
Mudong paid the fine. Then take your leave and leave.
Before leaving, Mu Dong invited Director Wu to take the leaders of the institute to the town hotel to "have a glass of wine". Director Wu politely refused, it was inappropriate, it was too ostentatious.
Mu Dong went home and waited for the guests of Xiao Xiao's family to come to the door.
The family was very lively, and relatives and friends from all walks of life gathered at the Mu family. Aunt and aunt are very familiar with these relatives Mu Dong, and other aunts, uncles, aunts and grandmothers, relatives who have not seen each other for many years have also come.
Red and white ceremonies, no matter where they are, are important social activities.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, firecrackers rang out and the woman's guests arrived.
The people from Xiao Xiao's family, led by Xiao Xiao's mother, are mostly female guests. It was also the gathering of relatives from all walks of life of Xiao Xiao's family, about forty or fifty people, who rented a city and city bus.
On such an occasion, according to the rules of the countryside, Xiao Xiao's father does not participate.
Xiao Xiao's family also prepared a new set of clothes for Mu Dong and brought them over.
The group entered Mu's house. Mama Li took a few important elders into the hall and sat down to drink tea and talk. The elders of the Mu Dong family are accompanied together. The other guests chatted in pairs and threes in the courtyard or on the street. There were so many people that I couldn't sit in the house.
In a pleasant atmosphere, the guests and hosts exchanged information about their children and explained the production and living conditions of their respective families. The two families have similar family backgrounds and comparable living standards, and the marriage of the two families follows the trend and is a good match.
Both sides expressed respect for each other's customs and habits......
It's far away, anyway, it's just some auspicious words.
After a brief conversation, everyone set off together and moved to the second scene, the hotel in the town.
The people from Xiao Xiao's family made 5 tables, and the relatives and friends of the Mu family made 7 tables, a total of 12 tables.
There were 11 tables sitting in the hall, and there was a single room upstairs, which was a separate table for male guests such as Mu Jinqian.
Wait a moment, open the table.
Each table is about 10 people and there are 26 dishes in total. Among them, there are 6 cold dishes, 4 dim sum, and 16 hot dishes. In the hot dish, whole chicken, whole fish and stewed elbow are must-haves, and pig face is a must-have, which means to make fun of the face. Braised pork is a must-have, and here the braised pork is called "square meat", which means cube-shaped meat. Sixi balls are a must-have, in fact, they are braised lion's head.
In addition to these 6 must-have hot dishes, the other dishes are played by each family. The Mu family also prepared turtle soup, mutton soup, beef stewed tomatoes, braised prawns, clear water balls, and a few vegetarian dishes.
The price of the local liquor arranged by the liquor, Lu Nanchun, is about 50 yuan per bottle, and the wine at this price is not bad at the local wedding banquet.
The Mu family discussed it before this, and the wine was not used in the cellar. First, because of today's wedding banquet, there are mostly female guests, few male guests, and female guests basically don't drink liquor; second, the number of Mu family's cellars is not much, and good steel is used on the blade, and there is Mu Dong getting married later, and Mu Dong wants to add children.
This is a great disappointment for some people who are holding back their energy and waiting for a good drink.
There's no way, it's still Lu Nanchun. Besides, this wine is not bad.
There were some happy people at the door of the meal. Mu Dad was busy greeting him.
The so-called joy is actually a beggar. In the early years, when someone had a happy event, they would come to the door to make a bamboo board and say some auspicious words. Generally, there are several people, one person plays the board and talks, and the others shout: Okay.
In recent years, this industry has slowly become a bit industrialized, and it used to be a beggar to catch up with the joy, but now it is a special way to catch up with the joy and no longer be a beggar.
Mu Dong heard the excitement at the door, and also came out to see, a lame old man in his fifties and sixties, half-squinted, was playing a bamboo board, happily rapping, and was limping left and right while talking, the corners of his mouth were foaming at the mouth, and several people followed his voice, saying okay.
Walking through the streets and alleys - good
Come to the gate of the Lord of Joy - all right
Glad the Lord is beaming today - good
I'm glad the Lord has a good son---good
Admitted to the university hall in the provincial capital - good
Plant a plane tree at home - good
A phoenix falls from a plane treeβgood
Today I had a wedding feast -- okay
Wedding in the coming year and eat candy - good
Today I drank the Dingqin wine - good
Marry a pretty bride next year - good
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Mu Dong listened to it funny, this person can really talk about it, and he also makes up his own words.
After a group of people finished rapping for a while, they surrounded Mu Dad and asked for money, and one mouth was twenty yuan per person, five people, a total of one hundred yuan.
In the early years, people who generally came to the door to catch up with the joy were to order leftovers and steamed buns. Later, I slowly asked for a small amount of money, and it has developed to the present. The amount of money asked for is getting bigger and bigger.
Of course Mu Dad will not agree, and it is not just this group that will be happy, there will be others later. Besides, such a happy event is just a commotion, and bargaining is interesting.
In the end, 5 yuan per person, a total of 25 yuan, sent these people away, and gave an extra pack of cigarettes.
Mu Dong looked at it for a while to see how the food was served.
The efficiency of the meal is very high, and it takes about half an hour before and after the dishes are ready.
Mu Dong called Xiao Xiao, and the two went to the upstairs room first.
There were eight people sitting in the single room, Mu Jinqian, Mu Huafeng, Second Uncle Mu, Third Uncle Mu, Wang Shaoqiang, Second Brother-in-law Xie Zhikun, Zhong Guodong, and Mu Tongqing. Mu Tongqing is the youngest, and he is busy pouring tea and water.
Zhong Guodong didn't come, but Mu Dong made a special call and asked him to come and show his image, even if he ate a few bites of food and went back. As a result, he came, but Mu Daodao and Xie Donglin didn't come.
Mu Dong introduced everyone to Xiao Xiao. In fact, Xiao Xiao knew most of them, and according to the order introduced by Mu Dong, he called people in turn.
"This is our grandfather. "Hello grandpa!"
"This is our second uncle. "Hello Second Uncle!"
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Finally, I introduced Mu Tongqing. Mu Dong said: "This is our nephew." β
Xiao Xiao almost said "Hello nephew", stopped the car all of a sudden, wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and his face was red.
Mu Tongqing nodded, and hurriedly said, "Hello, auntie." β
Xiao Xiao's face turned even redder, gave him a blank look, and snorted.
The old rule in the countryside is that if you don't get married, you can't call your aunt, you have to call your aunt.
A table of people laughed.
Then Mu Dong and Xiao Xiao toasted everyone, let everyone eat and drink well, and then went to other tables.
Each table is Mu Dong's introduction, Xiao Xiao shouts, and then toasts slightly.
At the wedding banquet here in Lunan, you don't need to accompany the guests to drink, you can serve the wine to the guests.
After the man's relatives have met, then the relatives of the woman have been acquainted.
This time it became Xiao Xiao's introduction, and Mu Dong shouted. Then a toast.
After a busy circle, the two of them each returned to their tables and hurried to eat something.
What a dish, I can't eat enough. And in such a wedding feast, there are many meat dishes and few vegetarian dishes, and the vegetarian dishes are eaten cleanly, and the rest are meat dishes.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the woman's guests were the first to finish eating and began to leave. Mu's father and mother hurriedly beckoned the guests to go home and sit down.
The table was full of leftovers of all kinds.
Don't worry, the female customer on the man's side appeared on the stage, went to the front desk of the store to ask for a plastic bag, and began to pack.
Yes, packing, this tradition, the countryside has always had.
Whoever packs what he takes, he takes.
Soon, the table was empty.
Aside from the hygiene factor, this kind of packaging is actually beneficial and does not cause waste.
The woman's guest sat down at Mu Dong's house for a while, had a preliminary discussion on some issues of concern to both parties, and then offered to leave.
When leaving, each person will have a goodie bag. It was the kind that Mu Dong brought to the industrial and commercial office.
A red cloth bag with the word "Double Happiness" printed on it, containing snacks and candy and a box of cigarettes.
So far, the family activity has been successfully concluded. Since then, the Mu family and the Li family have been officially relatives, and they can participate in the red and white ceremonies of each other's families and move around each other.
That night, Mu Dong asked the restaurant in the town to deliver food, opened two tables in the yard, and feasted a group of employees in the yard. Mu Dong didn't drink at noon, and he was busy before and after, and he didn't even eat well.
In the evening, Mu Dong was very drunk. I was happy and wanted to drink a little, and with the constant persuasion of everyone, I finally drank high.
The next day, October 7th. Mu Dong was called by Mu Ma early in the morning, he had a terrible headache, and the whole person was not very good. Mu Ma nagged and blamed Mu Dong, thinking that he drank too much last night, that he didn't get up early this morning, and that there were important activities today.
Mu Dong was helpless, so he dressed up as soon as possible and ate breakfast silently.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, Wang Shaoqiang drove, and Mu Dad and Mu Dong took some gifts and went to Xiao Xiao's house. This is the first time to walk around after the marriage, and it is also the first official meeting between the male in-laws of both sides.
You can't go too early, it's best to sit for a while and it's lunchtime. I went early, and I took a lot of thought about entertaining.
The Li family warmly entertained the Mu family and asked for food in the restaurant. and took out the cellar wine sent by the Mu family last time to entertain Mu's father.
Mu Dad was very happy and said, "Brother, I am not willing to drink this wine at home, but I can satisfy my cravings with you today." β
Dad Li said: "Borrow flowers to offer Buddha, I am also stained with your light, so I can drink such a good wine." β
Mu Dad said: "Brother, you like to drink, I'll take the time to bring you another jar." β
Dad Li said: "I can't help it, I can't help it, this wine is too expensive, and it's of great use to keep it." The last time I brought those, there was a jar that I hadn't opened yet. I'll talk about it later, I'll talk about it later. β
Mu Dad said: "Then I'll listen to my brother." "That being said, Dad Mu still thinks in his heart that if he has the chance, he still has to send some to his brother. You can send two bottles of one pound.
Dad Li found two brothers from his own family to drink with him. The atmosphere is very relaxed, new relatives, I don't know much about it, I talk about some parents, what I have seen and heard in Wuli Sanxiang, and I don't drink much.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the banquet ended.
On the car back, there was more Xiao Xiao.
Wang Shaoqiang first sent Mu's father back to Mu Village, and then sent Mu Dong and Xiao Xiao all the way to Lunan Railway Station.
Mu Dong wants to return to Quancheng with Xiao Xiao.
The yard is now basically stable, and all kinds of processes have been straightened out, and Mu Dong is there and not, all of which operate like this.
As soon as he got married, Mu Dong also wanted to accompany Xiao Xiao in Jinan. Recently, the two have always been together less and more away, and they both miss each other a little.
Moreover, Mu Dong still has the lottery in his heart, whether there are dates or not, let's hit three poles.
Dreams still have to be had, in case they come true. Mu Dong remembered what a certain big boss said later.
Xiao Xiao had a return train ticket, but Mu Dong didn't have a ticket, so he went to the ticket window to buy a ticket, but he didn't even have a station ticket. There's no way, buy a platform ticket, mix it up and then make up the ticket.
After the two got married, they felt a little different from before. The relationship between the two is first the mutual recognition of the two people, then the two are accepted by each other's families, and then the two families recognize each other. Now it's the families of both sides, and they're all recognized.
The two have gone through a long love run, and finally brought the two families together. After such a ritualistic event as a marriage, the two of them felt very warm in their hearts.
The train started to start, Xiao Xiao sat on the seat with his head tilted, and Mu Dong stood next to her with his back leaning, talking to Xiao Xiao with his head down.
For a while, Mu Dong was afraid that Xiao Xiao would be uncomfortable with his head tilted, so he used the excuse to go to the conductor to make up the ticket, and he came back for a long time.
Seeing Mudong come back. Xiao Xiao asked Mu Dong to sit for a while, and he stood next to him. Mu Dong didn't refuse, and sat down as he said.
This is how it feels, Mu Dong thought to himself, in another time and space, Xiao Xiao has always been silently caring for him and supporting him.
Xiao Xiao, this time and space, I will let you live better, Mu Dong said silently in his heart.
The sweet journey did not have too much fatigue, but more warm feelings. The two of them sat three or four times, and the Quancheng train station arrived.
The two got off the bus hand in hand and went to the bus stop. I'm used to it, and I don't want to take a taxi.
What's more, at that time, taking a taxi near the train station was one of the major problems for the people of Quancheng.
The two sat on the bus, Xiao Xiao snuggled lightly on Mu Dong's chest, and quietly discussed where to go for dinner. Outside the car window, the lights are on, the traffic is busy, and the whole city is full of lights.
Some distant or near memories floated around in Mu Dong's mind.
Such a scene, so snuggled on the bus, so familiar.
Mu Dong was a little confused, it was a long time and space that thought of distant memories. Or in another time and space, I saw my current self through the distance.
I'm back, with my love.
