Chapter 255: Giving Away
On the day of Sister Lingling's wedding, Shen Guodong drove a two-and-a-half-ton Dongfeng brand truck from the grain company, with a high front and a shiny army-green body, and stopped at the door of Sister Lingling's house, and everyone in Tunzi ran over to see the excitement.
The relatives and comrades-in-arms who accompanied Zhao Zhigang to pick up their relatives were shocked by this formation. Doesn't it mean that the bride is a widowed mother and an only daughter? How can there be a big truck to send relatives? This is not something that the average person can afford! How rich and powerful is that?!
When they saw the dowry of the bell, the expression on their faces could no longer be controlled, which is to marry a daughter, just these things to dowry, it is enough to marry a few daughters-in-law!
Now in the countryside to marry a daughter, the most common dowry is two new beds, some thermoses, basins and other daily necessities.
People who have good conditions and love their daughters will buy some tables, chairs and other furniture for their daughters, with sixteen legs, thirty legs, thirty-six legs is very good, and the most is said to be seventy-two legs, which is very, very rare.
These legs are counted by the sum of the legs of various furniture.
As for the three turns and one ring of the people in the city when they marry their daughters, the countryside does not dare to think about it at all. I just had enough to eat for a few years, and no one had the ability.
Therefore, when Zhou Yang and the others carried out the legendary sewing machine, bicycle, and radio from the house, everyone's eyes widened.
At least seven or eight sets of bedding, tables, chairs, wardrobes, basins, thermoses, large mirrors, four large boxes full of clothes, and dowries were carried out of the house like flowing water, so that everyone could look around and wait for the bride to come out and load the car.
"Holy shit! This Zhao Zhigang has married a wife! This is to marry a golden egg and go back! A comrade-in-arms who followed Zhao Zhigang to pick up his relatives couldn't help but admire.
They were a little awkward when they came. This Zhao Zhigang is half of the son-in-law who is inverted, and he feels a little disgraced when he goes to pick up his relatives, he never expects the bride's family to be so rich! Such a wide range of people!
Just rush to these families. It's okay to let them plug the door upside down! Not to mention that I can follow other lights in the future.
Those with sharp eyes have already noticed the row of bicycles parked in front of Sister Ringing's house, there must be more than a dozen!
How many good relatives are here! It's the commune compound, where officials go, and there have never been so many bicycles!
When the newly dressed bell came out, more than a dozen young people who came to pick up their relatives were stimulated and screamed, such a beautiful bride! Plus so many dowries! What kind of shit luck did this Zhao Zhigang take!?
Taking advantage of the large number of people, a group of young men made a lot of noise. Pushing each other and squeezing forward, screaming more happily.
Squeeze, squeeze his turtle grandson!
If you don't clean up today, Zhao Zhigang is too unbalanced in his heart!
Zhou Yang winked at the person he had found to help. A few members of the commune basketball team, who were tall and had an average height of more than 1.85 meters, immediately stepped forward, and they didn't have to do anything, just standing there, and the group of people who made trouble had no room to play at all.
There were two individuals who were not convinced. I still want to squeeze forward. Dunzi and Shen Guodong grabbed one by one and greeted each other with a smile, "Dude!" It looks familiar to you! ”
Cold sweat immediately broke out on the foreheads of the two people, and they felt as if they were being clamped tightly by a large iron pliers, how could they still dare to make trouble.
Zhou Yang hurriedly commanded another group of people who were responsible for carrying the dowry to load the car, and asked Aunt Zhao and a few of the mothers who sent her relatives to help Sister Ling to the truck, and carefully counted the things and the number of people who sent her relatives to confirm that they were correct. Only then did he tap the driver's door, "Let's go!" ”
The truck let out a long whistle. Booming start, majestic departure!
Zhou Chen took the bicycle team that had been organized a long time ago, and overtook the big truck that was deliberately driving slowly, and more than a dozen bicycles rang the bell all the way, occupying the entire highway like a tide, and went to open the way for Sister Ringing's wedding car.
Zhao Zhigang had already been let on the big truck by Zhou Yang to send relatives, as for the people who came with him to pick up relatives, according to the rules here, they couldn't get into the car of their mother's family, so they could only stand stupidly next to the carriage they were sitting in, how did they come and how to go back.
"Big brothers, I'll take your car with my uncle, let's go!" Zhou Yang helped Sister Ling's uncle and waited beside him with a smile.
The most powerful maternal uncle of the woman's family and the actual operator of the wedding came to entertain them, and they couldn't find any fault with this kind of reception specification, and the dozen or so relatives who ate a cart of black smoke could only swallow the puff in their stomachs, and they had to accompany Zhou Yang and Sister Ling's maternal uncle with a smile on their faces.
They can't find fault with others, this is their mother's family, today's VIPs, if they let people find out their faux pas, then today's matter will be troublesome.
Zhou Wanwan sat on the beam of Shen Guodong's bicycle, tilted his head slightly against the warm wind of June, closed his eyes, and slowly hooked the corners of his lips.
The new life that Sister Bell has been waiting for for so long has finally begun. Over the years, she has watched this hard-working, kind, tenacious and intelligent girl go all the way, and she is really happy for her.
"Sister Ringing is a brave person." Zhou Wanwan muttered to herself.
If you want it, go for it. Not afraid to pay, not counting gains and losses, persistent and pure.
This is what she lacks most in this life.
Although she doesn't have any expectations for love, and can even be said to be like a snake and scorpion, at this moment, she wants to make herself believe, at least to believe that Sister Ringling's love will definitely blossom and bear fruit, and be happy.
Zhou Wanwan really hopes that Sister Lingling's love can be sweet for a long time, so that she can be a simple and happy little woman who dares to love and dare to break through for the rest of her life.
"Why are you upset?" Shen Guodong turned Zhou Wanwan's head, looked at it carefully, and covered her eyes with his hand, "Don't laugh, you don't want to laugh." ”
Zhou Wanwan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.
This time it was a real smile, with bright eyes, and a warm smile welled up from my heart to my eyes, and then slowly spread to the corners of my eyes and eyebrows.
Shen Guodong, this guy, sometimes has a sharp intuition like a beast in the forest.
Shen Guodong also laughed, every time he saw Zhou Wanwan laughing like this, he would be infected unconsciously. He laughed along.
"Happy again?" Shen Guodong pressed his chin against the top of Zhou Wanwan's head, poked her small hair curls, and muttered to himself. "If you want to ring Sister Ling, I'll send you to see her, and it's not far away. It's guaranteed to be the same as when she was at home, and she can go whenever you want. ”
"Hmm." Zhou Wanwan nodded lightly, "There can still be an excuse to come out and eat sorbet by the way." ”
Zhou Chen took Mr. Guo's words as a holy decree, he said that Zhou Wanwan's physique was cold, and he should not eat more cold things in summer. Zhou Chen strictly monitored Shen Guodong, and only allowed his sister to go out to eat sorbet once a month.
"Not really! It's good that Sister Bell is married! Shen Guodong was happy when he heard it, and he exerted force under his feet. After stepping on it a few times, he rushed to the front like an arrow, and waved at the mighty army of bicycles behind him, "Roar!" Comrades! Come on! ”
More than twenty young men on a dozen bicycles screamed and whizzed by. The old man who was herding cattle in the woods by the side of the road was so frightened that he clung to the reins of the cow and shook his hands.
Damn! Is this going to make a fuss again or what?!
arrived at Zhao Zhigang's house. Everyone was shocked by the big trucks and bicycle teams that sent off their relatives, and the brigade accountant invited by the Zhao family to help preside over the situation almost stumbled to receive the group of mothers and family members who took the lead.
When Sister Ling's wedding car stopped, seeing the dowry on the car, the expressions on the faces of the relatives of the Zhao family were wonderful.
No one expected that Zhao Zhigang, the daughter-in-law who was helpless and needed him to support his mother, would have such a rich dowry.
I didn't expect that the mother's family who came to marry would be so magnificent.
Even if you marry a city girl, there are not many people who can come up with such a dowry!
According to the rules of marriage here. When the wedding car arrived, the bride and her family did not get out of the car. The dowry is not allowed to be moved, and the mother-in-law's family wants to give the boy who "presses the sedan chair" to the mother-in-law.
When the mother's family is satisfied with the "sedan chair money", they will let the boy get off the "sedan chair", and then the bride can get off, and then the dowry can be moved into the door.
There is a lot of money for this sedan chair, and it is generally determined according to the bride's dowry.
The new daughter-in-law brought a lot of dowry, and of course the in-laws had to make face for the daughter-in-law, and the "sedan chair money" was also generous. It's an unwritten rule.
Therefore, when the little cousin sitting in Sister Lingling's arms stretched out his little fat hand to pick up the dime handed over by Zhao Zhigang's mother, the eldest cousin sitting next to Sister Lingling snapped off her son's hand.
Now the work of the production team is worth more than before, one is worth at least four or five cents, and a person can earn at least three cents a day. Who is this cold in your old Zhao family?!
If someone marries an ugly daughter-in-law who doesn't have anything to dowry, they have to pay five cents!
The eldest cousin said nothing with a gloomy face, but the expression on her face said anything.
There was silence in the car to send off relatives, and no one spoke, waiting to see how Zhao Zhigang would say anything.
Zhao Zhigang's face was flushed, and he pulled his mother to the side and asked her anxiously, "Mother, what about the five yuan I gave you yesterday?" ”
"I only have the five dollars in my hand, and I don't keep any of them? In the future, we will have a big family of people? Zhao Zhigang's mother was thin and dry, her eyes were a little dazed, and she looked like she didn't rely on her son wholeheartedly at all.
"Let's take it out first! Let's talk about it after the wedding! Zhao Zhigang was so anxious that he couldn't care about anything now, everyone's eyes were staring at him, and his face was almost on fire.
"It's too late to say anything after the wedding!" Zhao Zhigang's eldest sister Zhao Yuxiu pulled her mother away and confronted her brother, "Big brother, my sister-in-law's family is so rich, do you still care about this 'sedan money'?" She hasn't entered the door yet, she wants to press our family, will my mother and us still have a foothold in this family in the future? ”
Zhao Yuxiu pulled her mother who lowered her head and wiped the corners of her eyes over to show Zhao Zhigang, "Look at your mother!" Is there such an ignorant one?! I don't believe it, she won't get out of the car and get married without these five yuan! ”
"Don't follow the mess! Didn't you give mom out of the eye?! "Zhao Zhigang knows his mother too well, if it weren't for his sister to give her ideas, she would have said and listened to what she said.
"It's me! Am I wrong? She has to scrape our whole family clean when she enters the door before she is willing? We're all stuck up and we're not alive! She can do it alone! ”
Zhao Zhigang didn't have time to entangle with his sister about this matter, the wedding car was still parked there, he had to talk about his daughter-in-law first!
Seeing that her son was really anxious, Mrs. Zhao hurriedly lifted the hem of the green cloth shirt, and hurriedly untied the belt made of wide strips of cloth on her waist, "Boss, don't worry, my mother will give you the money, and you can spend it as much as you say!" It's all for your daughter-in-law, and your mother doesn't want any of it. ”
Zhao Yuxiu was so angry that she stomped her feet, "Big brother! What are you doing so hard!? ”
Zhao Zhigang didn't have the energy to care about his sister at all, and his mother was about to take off his pants in public!
"Mother! Go inside and get it! Let's go! I'll go in with you! ”
"I don't believe it! If she doesn't have these five dollars, she won't get out of the car today?! Brother, look at me! Zhao Yuxiu turned around and walked towards the wedding car.
Zhao Yuxiu walked quickly to the wedding car, stepped on a broken wooden box that was temporarily moved over as a pedal, and looked at the little nephew in Ringbell's arms and smiled, "The little boy is so good-looking!" Auntie takes you to eat something delicious! Come! ”
As he spoke, he grabbed the little guy and forcibly carried him out of the car.
The rules of the wedding here, the child who "pressed the sedan chair" got off, and the bride had to get off with it. Zhao Yuxiu wanted to snatch the little boy down, and forced the bell to follow him to get out of the car, saving the "sedan money".
The eldest cousin-in-law sitting next to the bell was prepared, snatched her son back, and with a wave of her hand, pushed Zhao Yuxiu away.
Zhao Yuxiu was already unstable standing on the wooden box, and when she was pushed like this, she stumbled twice, grabbed a few handfuls with her hands, but didn't catch anything, and fell down with a thud, and fell on the ground.
Zhao Yuxiu sat on the ground and immediately cried, not to mention that the bride's maiden family beat her, several young daughters-in-law who had been watching the excitement also came to help, and other relatives of the Zhao family who didn't see the situation clearly also came over and shouted.
A large group of women in the wedding car, such as aunts, sisters-in-law, and cousins, were already very angry, and when they were provoked like this, they immediately rushed to the Zhao family like a lit cannonball.
Zhao Zhigang persuaded this and that, and he was anxious.
Sister Ringing is not around, she is so anxious that she is about to cry.
The entire Zhao family was immediately drowned out by a woman's shouting and scolding, and someone had already begun to push and shove to find the other party to do it.
A wedding is about to turn into a scuffle.
Zhou Chen threw down the bicycle, took out an iron rod from the cab, and knocked it the thick iron sheet in the back compartment of the big truck.
Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! The loud noise and the aftermath that lasted for a long time made everyone in the scene cover their ears and stop arguing.
Zhou Chen's eyes were cold and expressionless, facing everyone's eyes, pointing at Zhao Zhigang with the iron rod in his hand, dignified and sharp, "My sister is married to you, none of us will look at you, just look at you." You can give my sister an explanation for this matter today! (To be continued......)
