Chapter 359: The Most Beautiful Gift

The far-reaching impact of television on the backers of the mountains can never be measured by money, as if all of a sudden the small support of the mountains is connected with the whole of China and even the whole world. Unconsciously, everyone's concept is also quietly changing.

Even the language of the group has changed a little: the wild boys now like to sing "we are pests, we are pests", which they learned from pesticide advertisements, and young people prefer to sing "Yan Dance, Yan Dance, a song comes a piece of love", which comes from the Yan Dance tape recorder.

Whenever the fat man sees the little babies ganging up and calling us pests, he will rush up and fan us on the buttocks, and then raise his slap and shout: "Powerful enough", which is the advertising slogan of the Weili washing machine.

It is said that although there were few advertisements at that time, the advertising effect had begun to emerge.

The news broadcast has become the most popular program in the village, from the level of old ladies like Li Wuye and Grandpa Wang, to the small characters like Snot Baby, they will watch it on time at seven o'clock.

Because it officially entered the farming season, the fat man also put the marriage with the big pigtail on the official agenda. Wang Sanpao is a big red medium, and he supports two families with one hand, so he must come forward.

As soon as he heard the fat man say this, Wang Sanpao suddenly became so happy that his beard straightened: "I should have Zhang Luo a long time ago, and I have to place a gift list, a dowry, buy things, and clean up the house, so you can go busy, it's strange if you don't toss off the weight of ten catties and eight catties." ”

The fat man touched the back of his head and sighed: "It's so troublesome!"

"If you don't bother, don't tie it. Wang Sanpao said simply, it's time to pick up the skin. Besides, this is a happy event, so I am not afraid to be busy, and I am happy.

So, on an auspicious day, Wang Sanpao and the fat man rode bicycles and went straight to the county seat. When he was leaving, he was ashamed to answer with his big braids, and when he ate in the morning, he didn't dare to look at the fat man.

Teacher Xiaohua is a big ghost, and she slipped next to her: "We've been living together for two years, what's there to be afraid of." ”

The big braid couldn't say clearly, but he felt panicked, and when he heard Xiaohua say this, his face turned even redder, and he fought back in a low voice: "Dead girl, try it when you talk about marriage." ”

The fat man left the house with a wicked smile on his face, like a fox who stole a chicken, and rode at a gallop along the way. Wang Sanpao shouted vigorously in the back: "Fatty, slow down, be careful not to kick off-"

At noon, I arrived at the pigtail's house. When Aunt Wang saw that the three guns came with the fat man, she understood the general idea and hurried to the kitchen to arrange food.

After a while, Secretary Wang also returned. When the fat man saw it, the old man who was about to leave was flushed, his spirit was much better than before, and he couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart.

At the dinner table, Wang Sanpao took out a folded piece of red paper: "I came to the city today, just for the marriage of the two children, the fat man is thirty years old for the New Year, Xiaoyu is eighteen years old, and the two of them are twenty-four or five years old on average, which can be regarded as late marriage and late childbearing, in response to the call of the country, so I led the fat man to send the bride price list." ”

The fat man's brain is a little sweaty: The third uncle is too, and they all know each other about age, so there is no need to talk about it.

According to the customs of the countryside at that time, before preparing for marriage, the man had to send the bride price list to the woman's home, and then write clearly on it what bride price was needed. I used to have money, but in the past two years, the atmosphere has changed, there are more watches, sewing machines, good conditions, plus bicycles, the three major pieces are together, of course, the most face-saving.

Generally, the bride price list must be written in front of the parents and matchmakers of both parties, as small as a headscarf and a pair of socks, all of which must be listed on it, so as not to admit it when you get it. In short, there are still traces of buying and selling marriages in the old society.

As for televisions, tape recorders, washing machines, and gold and platinum jewelry, they are the most frequently seen on the bride price list a few years later.

And now, many rural areas have returned to the basics, directly asking for money, generally speaking, the bride price is more than 100,000 yuan. Those who did not respond to the call of the country at the beginning, but gave birth to juniors, juniors, and juniors, really can't afford to marry a daughter-in-law.

At that time, the bride price list was also the most likely place to provoke disputes between the two parties, generally the man was too much, the woman was too little, bargaining, disputes, it was easy to fight.

When you are in a hurry, because a set of clothes and pants can make the marriage goodbye. In fact, the main thing is not to be worse at this point, the main thing is to fight for face.

In this case, the role of the matchmaker is reflected, and it must be tough, able to run errands, learn to speak, and be able to calm the scene at critical moments, otherwise you will be waiting to be splinted in the middle.

Wang Sanpao took out the bride price list and slapped it on the table very arrogantly: "Second brother and sister-in-law, you can write it casually, and the fat man will definitely not talk about it with contention." ”

Secretary Wang and Aunt Wang glanced at each other, and then laughed together. Secretary Wang took out a pen, brushed a few words on the red paper, and then handed it to the fat man, he knew that the three brothers didn't know how to read.

The fat man was a little apprehensive in his heart, and when he opened the red paper, he saw the words "Wang Xiaoyu" written on it, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused. raised his head, and then saw Secretary Wang looking at him with a smile:

"Xiao Huang, we gave you the whole of our daughter, do you dare to accept this gift?"

The fat man's heart stirred, and he stood up suddenly: "Uncle Wang, don't worry, Xiaoyu is the best gift in my life, and I will cherish it for the rest of my life." ”

Secretary Wang and the boss smiled and nodded, they believed in the fat man's promise. It's just that Aunt Wang had a thought in her head, and it passed, that is, the age difference between the two was a little older.

Wang Sanpao looked at them and was a little confused: "What's the whole list of this bride price?"

"The two children are willing to buy whatever they want, whatever they want, we don't have to mix. Aunt Wang said with a smile.

"That's not good, our mother's family has to accompany us to send something, otherwise we will make people laugh at us!" Wang Sanpao stood on the fat man's side just now, and now he is starting to call himself his mother's family again, I really don't know which one it is.

"Isn't it enough for us to pay off all the girls!" Aunt Wang clapped her hands and laughed, and cleared all those troubles.

The fat man nodded secretly, and his heart was happy: My old man is worthy of being the secretary of the county party committee, how good this headband is. Doing happy events is how much energy you have to do a lot of things, you can't force up the façade, and then it's the family that suffers, if you owe famine, don't you have to pay it back?

The big pigtail family is so open, the fat man has no pressure in his heart, but he feels that he has to do this thing well, basically he will get married once in this life, and he can't treat other people's big braids badly. After all, judging from his current age, the fat man is a bit suspicious of an old cow eating that.

In the end, the fat man handed over the right to decide the marriage date to the future father-in-law, and Secretary Wang thought for a while: "Just set it on New Year's Day, the beginning of the year, and the beginning of your new life." ”

The fat man doesn't have any opinions, which day to get married and which day is better, of course, he hopes that the sooner the better.

After finalizing some other details, the fat man and Wang Sanpao returned on the same day, and when they got home, they had already started broadcasting news broadcasts.

Seeing the fat man coming back in a hurry so quickly, of course the big pigtail understood what was going on, but in front of a room of people, it was not easy to ask.

However, Teacher Xiaohua had a straightforward temperament, and asked with a split head and a face: "Fat brother, what's wrong with the family, come back so soon, do you want the old mother-in-law to come out?"

"Little girl, don't always worry about this, tell everyone that the date is booked, it is New Year's Day in 1983. The fat man didn't have anything to hide, and announced the wedding date in public.

Teacher Xiaohua smiled on her face: "Sister Xiaoyu, in more than a month, she will be a bride." As he spoke, his face was like a red cloth, and he ran to the outhouse to hide.

The car boss said with a smile on the kang: "The fat man and Xiaoyu are married, and look at Teacher Xiaohua." Then he turned to the fat man: "The fat man is married, but the top priority of our backing mountain must be handled well." ”

"Then it's up to you to be busy!" Everyone was noisy, and Bigfoot and other old ladies ran to the outhouse, and discussed with the big pigtails that they needed to prepare those things: red jackets and green pants are essential, and then prepare two pairs of luggage, the bedding should be red, and resolutely not buy yellow ones, saying that they will be yellow in the future.

The big pigtail blushed and nodded vigorously. Aunt Li rushed into the house again, asking the fat man to buy cotton fabrics, preparing to make cotton jackets, cotton pants and bedding, as well as curtains and curtains, pillow towels and pillowcases, clothes, new shoes and new socks, there are dozens of things, and the fat man has such a good memory.

"Use this to make a note. Kiki grinned and handed over a small notebook and pencil, and asked, "Do you have my share?"

Aunt Li touched her little brain: "Of course there is, I will make you a new dress and get married." ”

Kiki blinked: "Actually, I have been a member of this family for a long time. ”

After Aunt Li finished memorizing here, the fat man was dragged over by the boss: "There are still a lot of things to do, smoking candy and red paper, firecrackers and brazier melon seeds, couplets of happy words and grains, and finally I have to hold a banquet......

"Simply, you also have a list, when you rush to the market, what is lacking to buy, I will give you the money first. "The fat man is used to being the shopkeeper, and if he wants to buy those bits and pieces by himself, it is estimated that he will really have to lose ten pounds and eight pounds.

Over there, the sister-in-law is in charge of the big foot, and she uses the time on Saturday to go to the county seat to buy things; The fat man's family sent them a thousand yuan and was in charge of it.

"The relationship between the fat man and Mr. Xiaoyu is stronger than those who are married in the county, you ask them, whose family can buy a TV when they get married. "The big-footed sister-in-law saw that the fat man was really happy to pay for it, and immediately rendered it.

"If other village girls see this, they will probably rush to marry us in the mountains, isn't it, Teacher Xiaohua. Aunt Li didn't forget to tease Xiaohua twice, and the girl was finally blushed and ran to the outhouse.

When everyone dispersed in the evening, the fat man took out the bride price list and unfolded it to the big braid: "Haha, now your father is relieved to hand you over to me!"

Teacher Xiaohua is really good at coming to things, so she pulls Qiqi and walks out. Qiqi was a little sleepy: "Sister Xiaohua, I want to sleep-" As a result, he couldn't help but say, and was pulled out of the house by Xiaohua and hid in Captain Li's house.

The fat man and the big braid sat side by side on the edge of the kang, the big braid lowered his head and looked shy, while the fat man looked at the braid's innocent face and muttered: "Xiaoyu, you are the best gift from heaven to me-"
