Chapter 55: The Mournful Wedding

Li Chuanlin's wedding was very low-key and polite, the banquet was very polite, the cook was the best in the township, and each table was made with four special wines and 'Baisha Wang' cigarettes; each of the eight sisters who gave the wedding a big red envelope, which contained nine brand-new tickets for ten yuan; the return gifts sent by the guests were also very polite, and the guests would return as many gifts as they wanted; the women's dowry was even more polite, and when the convoy of relatives passed by, everyone envied those motorcycles, color TVs, refrigerators, Washing machines and other household appliances are said to be the most expensive dowry in the township, and when the bride enters the door, the dowry money (pressure box money) placed in the tea tray also startles the guests, 18,008!

It's just that Li Jiaming didn't show up as a son, he sat quietly in front of his mother's grave alone, talking to his sleeping mother. thought that he was very rational and even indifferent, but when there was really a woman who wanted to replace his mother, Li Jiaming still couldn't calmly attend his father's wedding.

Mom, my sister is quite obedient and serious in her studies, and this time she scored a double hundred points in the exam. My sister said a few days ago that she wants to study abroad when she grows up, and as long as she wants to in the future, I will definitely send her to study abroad.

Mom, I'm not filial, I taught my sister how to please Zhang Xiangfeng and let her treat her sister as her own daughter. I also have no choice, my sister used to ask me, everyone else has a mother, why doesn't she have it?

Listening to the firecrackers under the mountain, Li Jiaming choked up and lit his award, and the green smoke curled.

Mom, you used to always say that the eldest brother and the second brother can read, and I can read better than them, this is the certificate that I won the first place in the county mathematics competition last year, and this is the certificate that I won the first place in the county's Chinese and mathematics competitions this year.

In the end, Li Jiaming dug a small pit in front of the grave with his hands and buried the two hero pens from the last school award in them.

Mom, this is the pen that won me in the school, you can take it to your parents-in-law and mother-in-law, I will help you fight for it.

…………

Generally speaking, the funeral should be done for three days and four nights, and the marriage is two days and two nights, and the couples are auspicious.

The Li family has been preparing for the marriage for more than a month, and when the noon banquet is over, it is basically over, and the few guests begin to leave. On the eve of the Chinese New Year, who doesn't want to buy New Year's goods, kill pigs, make rice crackers, and fry fried tofu? Not to mention that people are married for the second time, and it is not even good to make trouble in the cave room, so it is better to go home early to prepare for the New Year.

When the guests were almost gone, Li Jiaming, who had not been seen for two days, also appeared as usual. It's just that the eldest sister closest to him can see the sadness in his eyes.

"Brother, where have you been? I was looking for you to eat, but I didn't see you anywhere!"

"Oh, I'm eating in the kitchen. ”

"Brother, isn't it good-looking? My mother gave it to me, and my aunt said it was made of silver, what is silver?"

Aunt Zhang has a heart.

Li Jiaming, who was full of smiles, hugged the little sister with happiness on her little face, and flicked the delicate silver bell bracelet on her slender and white wrist with his fingers, and the silver bell sounded softly and crisply and pleasantly. In the past, wealthy families liked to wear silver bells for their children, which had the meaning of tranquility and warding off evil spirits.

"Silver, it is a precious metal, the one you wear on your hands. Study hard, and by the time you're in junior high school, you'll know what metal is. ”

"Hey, I'm going to play with Sister Man!"

"Hmm"

The greedy silver hand circle of the full sister hugged her sister's little head and discussed: "Sister, borrow me to wear it tomorrow, okay?"

"Well, I'll wear it today, and you will wear it tomorrow. ”

Li Jiaming watched the two little guys run away, and couldn't help but smile slightly. The eldest sister next to her looked at her younger brother calmly like an adult, and couldn't help but feel sour, holding his head, directing his attention to other things, and whispering: "Mingya, are you matching the military with Honghong?"

"How do you know?

"Cut, do you think I can't see it? Sister Gui didn't even listen to Mao Yan's words, it's not Sister Lan, it's not me, who else is there besides you?"

Seeing that her younger brother's attention began to shift, the eldest sister hurriedly dragged him upstairs, and when she got to the study, she whispered: "Mingya, this matter is no joke." Honghong transferred the national grain, and he could go to work in a big factory, and the military could drive and earn more than 1,000 yuan a month, but it didn't last long.

Can you still work for a lifetime?

If they get better, and your uncle doesn't agree, you'll kill the soldiers!"

This is a serious matter, a big matter, Li Jiaming's attention was successfully diverted, and he hurriedly asked, "Eldest sister, how are they doing?"

"You don't know?"

"What do I know?"

"You", the eldest sister grabbed his ear angrily and whispered: "The military has always liked Honghong, and I have never dared to tell her." ”

Hey, this is not right, didn't it mean that Sister Lan still helped him Zhang Luo's girlfriend? Sister Lan didn't know, how could the eldest sister know?

"Hmph, what will Sister Lan pay attention to besides scolding? As soon as I arrived in Dongguan last year, I saw that the military likes to be red. Do you think he's stupid, Sister Lan introduced him to a girl who sits in the office, and she looks good, and the house is good, he sits there all night without squeaking, isn't he just thinking about Honghong?"

Crush is the most pitiful, I want to confess but I am afraid of rejection from others, I am afraid that I will not even have an illusory hope. I had to think and think silently, and I always thought that people fell in love with someone else, and then I regretted it. With the character of Brother Jun, he can really do such a stupid thing, if he knew this, he shouldn't have helped his cousin transfer the national food!

People are always realistic and short-sighted, and not everyone sees that in the future, large state-owned factories will go bankrupt one by one. As a cousin of a rural girl, she will fall in love with her brother in the army, but Sister Hong, who has become a person in the city, may not like him, even if he is really handsome and very good.

regretted it a little, Li Jiaming felt that he couldn't always 'keep his wealth open', people in the city looked down on the countrymen, except for some virtual things, in essence, money was still making trouble. Even a few years ago, when the difference between urban and rural areas was like a moat, people in the city looked at the 10,000 households in the countryside and said that they were hillbillies, and they were not envious in their hearts? Uncle asked everyone to be cautious, but they should not be too cautious and misguided.

"Eldest sister, you also go and help Brother Junhan say good things, as long as Sister Hong likes him, I have a way!"

"Really?"

"Really, I don't know about my maternal uncle, you just need to help say good things, so that Sister Hong feels that as long as the two of you like it, she doesn't have to worry about other things. ”

The eldest sister was still not at ease, so Li Jiaming had no choice but to whisper: "Eldest sister, I have the ability to make a storefront and a house on the street, but I don't have the ability to convince my maternal uncle?"

In the past few days since I came back, the eldest sister has heard a lot of second aunts praising her younger brother like this, and she knows that this kid is becoming more and more capable.

"That's the same, Ming Yan, why do you have such a head?"

A man's head and a woman's waist can't be touched, but the head is rubbed by the eldest sister, but Li Jiaming is happily rubbed by her. Calculating the time, the eldest sister should also know her future brother-in-law, Li Jiaming suddenly said narrowly: "Eldest sister, you also found a partner outside, right?"

The eldest sister is not a shy girl like Sister Hong, and said with a big grin: "I'm picking, I don't want those who don't have the ability, and I can't ask for those who don't have ambition!"

"That's that, my sister is so good-looking, I don't even think about it below high school!"

"As far as you will say, I thought you had changed, but I didn't expect that it was actually the same starling (talker)."

The eldest sister grabbed her younger brother's ear, laughed and scolded, and whispered with a slightly red face: "Mingya, you are smarter than the eldest sister, you give me an idea." There is a college student who likes his sister, and I am afraid that he will be like others, and he will talk with his mouth. ”

The eldest sister is the eldest sister, much more generous than the cousin, and the temper of daring to speak, dare to do, and change is like this all his life, Li Jiaming said in a low voice: "Simple, you just say that our house is very poor, and the younger brothers and sisters still have to study, so don't consider these for the time being." ”

"Huh?"

"Eldest sister, you can't just listen to what he says, if you know that our family is poor, and he doesn't give up and is willing to help, it is because he likes your person, not your appearance. ”

"It's too", the eldest sister pondered for a while, it's really so reasonable, there are too many people outside who can speak well, but there are few who can really have the ability and be reliable.

The two sisters and brothers chatted for a while, and the eldest sister, who was very close to the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt, leaned into the younger brother's ear and whispered: "Mingya, I heard from my mother, you pulled the uncle to invest in the decoration store and made a lot of money." Have you ever thought about the fourth uncle, if you want to say that you can speak well, the fourth uncle is not bad. Uncle has made a fortune, have you thought about what the fourth uncle will think?"

Li Jiaming hurriedly explained: "Eldest sister, the fourth uncle was 15600 yuan a month at that time, how did I know that the decoration business would be so good? ”

"It's too", how can the eldest sister have Li Jiaming's treacherous behavior, echoed, and also helped the younger brother come up with an idea.

"Ming Yan, why don't you go and help the fourth aunt walk, and go to work in a state-owned factory like Honghong?"

The cousin has a gentle temperament and can't do business, the fourth aunt is shrewd, the fourth uncle is lively, it's a pity to go to the factory to prepare for the laid-off workers, Li Jiaming hurriedly objected: "It's not good, the factory will collapse if it doesn't do well, you can tell me, how many factories have collapsed in the county in recent years." The fourth aunt is not as good as Sister Honghong, and she can still marry if she has no job in the future, so it is better to find another way, don't urge me, I will think about it again. ”

The satisfied eldest sister rubbed her younger brother's short hair and comforted: "It's okay, the eldest sister just reminded you that the fourth uncle is easy to talk to, and the fourth aunt has a lot of eyes." People are good to us, so we don't want her to feel uncomfortable. ”

That's for sure, the fourth aunt will make a small calculation, but two clothes a year, a New Year's money, never missing their own brothers and sisters; in the previous life, the father and the little sister could not afford to send themselves to study in self-financed college, the fourth uncle wanted to use the money in the house to help, the fourth aunt was a little unhappy but did not die, these kindnesses can be remembered in their hearts.

The eldest sister is more simple-minded, she only thinks about making her younger brother good, and her parents say that her younger brother has the ability, so she should think of more ways to make the fourth uncle good, and don't make the aunt who is good to everyone feel uncomfortable.

"It's good that you know! Mingya, you can help the uncle and aunt, and the fourth uncle can't forget it, you know?"

"Know"
