Chapter 244 Utilization
Old man Shen quarreled with Xiaofang's mother for half a briquette for more than half an hour, and finally even shouted out the words that his son, who was the mayor, would come over to help. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Shen Mei came out of the house when they were halfway through the quarrel, and Xiaofang's mother immediately became nervous when she saw her momentum, and she was afraid that she would not be able to resist it.
But Shen Mei walked past them with her head held high and did not squint as usual, and went upstairs directly to find Zhou Xiao'an.
Shen's mother, who was hiding behind the stove and boiling the old man's footwater, was even more frightened when she saw her daughter gone, and rubbed her hands in fright, and whispered behind Shen Mei and told her, "Xiaomei, don't make your father angry, don't get involved in adult affairs......"
Shen Mei didn't plan to get involved, she treated Old Man Shen as a stranger at all, and she didn't even glance at him.
Zhou Xiaoan was puzzled, "Your grandfather moved your father out, don't you go to persuade him?" "How bad the impact this is on Mayor Shen, Shen Mei is Mayor Shen's daughter after all, and she still has to defend him at this time.
Shen Mei smiled, "Just like him, who believes him when he says that Mayor Shen is his son?" What mayor's father can quarrel with someone over half a briquette? I also want to pull my son over to help! What mayor can be so worthless? Everyone was able to dream about his old foolishness! ”
"It's not the first time he's done this kind of thing, when he was in the liberated area, in order to take advantage of a few millet seedlings in his neighbors, he also asked Shen Weiguo to lead the troops to collapse the family!
When he lived in the family building of the municipal party committee with Mayor Shen, the neighbor's newly bought meat was hung on the handlebars of the bicycle, and when he went into the house to deliver something, he let him slip to the house, and the person lost it couldn't be said. ”
"He feels that his family has been donated to the revolution, he is a great hero, he is so unreasonable and unreasonable wherever he goes, he loses a circle of people when he moves, he has done a lot of embarrassing things, you will know in the future."
Shen Mei stayed with Zhou Xiao'an for more than an hour, and when she left, Old Man Shen's fight came to an end, and finally Xiaofang's mother paid him a briquette before returning with a satisfied victory.
Who is Xiaofang's mother? That's the famous one in the whole building, only in but not out! can actually let Old Man Shen just give a briquette to him, which shows how high Old Man Shen's skill is.
Of course, Xiaofang's mother is not easy to bully, and since then she has been pinching with Old Man Shen, and they can be heard arguing one after another every day after work in the building, and everyone is more energetic than before when they come out to cook.
The family is lively, and the factory has also ushered in the peak period of marriage.
It's about to be July 1st, and many newlyweds are rushing to get their certificates during this time, Shen Mei compared with Zhou Xiaoan when she was having lunch, "Ten marriage introduction letters will be issued in one morning!" The union is busy! ”
Their factory committee is only responsible for issuing a letter of introduction, and the trade union has to be responsible for political review, and has to represent the organization to send warmth and make on-site speeches at the wedding.
There are many marriages, and the gift money is also spent. The factory committee must follow, each pair of five cents, and the workshop depends on personal wishes, generally three cents.
Zhou Xiaoan went out with sixteen organs a week, and followed Sister Niu out with two workshops.
Generally, if they don't know each other in the workshop, they don't follow it, and Zhou Xiaoan almost doesn't know anyone, so he follows Sister Niu.
I went out with so much gift money, and I participated in a lot of wedding ceremonies, but I didn't eat a wedding banquet.
At this time, unless you are particularly fond of your children, you can afford a wedding banquet, and the vast majority of people will buy a few catties of sugar cubes and melon seeds when they get married.
In addition to the gift money, the people who go to the wedding banquet must also bring their own food stamps, four taels for men and three taels for women, and the dishes are considered to be a treat for the host's family.
Zhou Xiaoan not only didn't eat the wedding banquet, but even ate a little candy and melon seeds, after all, a small plate was wheeled in the hands of his colleagues, and in the end, he had to give the host's family a little bit back, and no one dared to really eat it.
Therefore, many people get their certificates during the day, and when they get off work at night, they invite their leaders, colleagues, relatives and friends to come over and hold a marriage ceremony.
It was another wedding after work, Zhou Xiaoan pinched the four or five melon seeds brought from the wedding banquet, and watched with great interest that Sister Ning brought a small secretary of the trade union to send warmth, an enamel basin, a towel, and a soap box, which is the standard for the trade union to send warmth.
Shen Mei had enough of the same congratulatory messages of "support each other and work hard for the revolutionary cause", stuffed Zhou Xiaoan with a few sugar cubes she brought, and dragged her to visit other people's new houses.
It is said to be a new house, but in fact, it is a double bed separated from a small room of more than ten square meters, and the reed mat is nailed with wooden strips, separated from the parents and siblings outside, and it is a most common new house.
On the marriage bed, the old bedding of two people is put together, and there is not even a double sheet, and the two single sheets of blue and white plaid and red and white plaid are put together, and a couple of newlyweds are about to start a new life.
"There are many brothers and sisters in the bride's family, and the marriage certificate has been received early, and the things bought with the marriage certificate are all deducted by the mother-in-law and kept for her brother's marriage!"
Shen Mei instructed Zhou Xiao'an, "Just look at the faces of your mother-in-law and sister-in-law!" I'll have to make trouble about this in the future! ”
At the end of June, Zhou Xiaoan and Shen Mei were not in their families, and they didn't want to go home, so they ran to the wedding almost every day after work, looking at the excitement and complaining, anyway, there was no entertainment in this era, and it was quite interesting for a group of people to get together and make a fuss.
Zhou Xiaoan even became famous, and Sister Zhang from the Transportation Department made a special trip to find her, "Xiao Zhou, eldest sister sees that you are very enthusiastic, my niece will get married next week, and her parents are gone, so I have to help her Zhang Luo, you can help the eldest sister to do her work!" ”
It just so happened that Shen Mei was sent to the municipal party committee study class for further study, Zhou Xiaoan had no one to play with her during this time, although she was not familiar with Sister Zhang, but people took the initiative to ask her for help, no matter how they said it, they trusted her, so they readily agreed.
I went to the department store to help line up to buy candy, to snap up the new flower sheets in the store, and even helped to cut the big red happy characters to decorate the new house.
In the end, on the wedding day, I also helped to collect the gift money.
The bride and groom are both front-line workers, and it stands to reason that they should not come to the factory committee to receive gifts, and those who have personal relations with them here will naturally send them over, and those who do not have personal friends will not go to the wedding.
But Sister Zhang shouted at the door, "Xiao Zhou, you help me collect the gift money", Zhou Xiaoan will go back again, and everyone will be ready to wait for her for three cents.
Procurement department, personnel department, factory committee, a total of sixty or seventy people, Zhou Xiaoan received nearly 20 yuan in gifts, and even people from other departments saw that Zhou Xiaoan was helping to collect gifts, and would take the initiative to come over with the gifts.
Sister Zhang was so happy with the gift money of more than 20 yuan that she couldn't keep her mouth shut, "Xiao Zhou, you can come early on the wedding day!" ”
Sister Zhang's niece's wedding was still held at night, and the two newlyweds were both factory workers, but their working experience was not enough, and they were not qualified to divide the house, so they could only squeeze in a small bungalow with their parents.
The house is too small, even the marriage ceremony is held in the yard, after the ceremony, everyone entered the new house one after another to visit, Sister Zhang pulled Zhou Xiao'an, "Xiao Zhou, you go to help the eldest sister see, why hasn't this hot water come yet!" There is nothing to entertain colleagues, and you can't even let everyone drink saliva! ”
Zhou Xiaoan has also been to the new house a few times, familiar with the way to see the hot water, and when she came back with a large pot of hot water and a shortcut, she happened to hear Sister Zhang complaining to the bride's section leader:
"She was young, she was ignorant, and she was eager to help, and I was embarrassed to refuse her. How unlucky it is for the divorced person to enter the new house! If I don't take her away, I'll just stare at her! Tell me, if the man knows about this, how much more reckless! (To be continued.) )
