Chapter 19: A new son-in-law comes to the door
(The frog apologized to everyone here, a few days after the National Day has been on the car turnover, last night on the highway due to the typhoon, it took twelve hours to get stuck in traffic jams on the road, and I couldn't find an Internet café at night, I started to rush again this morning, and now I walked for half an hour to find a place to update, because there are not many manuscripts, so I went back to code words, two more yesterday, two more today, two more tomorrow, a total of 18,000 words, and will be made up before twelve o'clock tomorrow night.)
We look forward to your support. )
The wind in February is sprinkled, blowing away the thick frost of the cold winter and the moon, but also blowing the hope of spring, this season is very cold, the cold is a little biting, the hand can not be stretched out, dripping into ice, there are still a few days before the Chinese New Year's Eve, Liu Minghua is a little impatient to urge his son to Zhang Luo to start the marriage, the family things are ready, just wait for the bride to come back can do wine.
In fact, these extraordinarily simple things are piled up together but it is really a bit of a headache, Zhang Zhenyi spent two days to visit a few teachers and some familiar leaders in the county, and now in the last two days of the year, finally to do the marriage of the old uncle, I am afraid that it will be later, the two old guys will be on fire, and the thirty-year-old baby in the countryside who is not married can find a few, and our old Liu family will occupy one, which is not a shame.
Since the family's manpower has been withdrawn from Carrefour, the three sisters have been staying at home, occasionally going to the Carrefour Skills Training Center to see, although they do not directly participate in the company's operations, but Zhang Zhenyi still allows them to exert their residual heat there.
Liu Hongyuan and Xu Mulin also rushed home yesterday, uncle Liu Runping has already been on vacation, except for his father Zhang Wenming is still preparing for the next round of expansion in the south, almost all of them are complete, a large family of people under the command of the young man has a clear division of labor, gathered a large number of aunts in the original village, busy all day long, fortunately the house is big, otherwise I don't know what to do, that's it, I also rented several hostels to live in.
"Zhenyi, or I can follow the customs of my family and just do it, you see, with so many people, I can't be busy when the time comes."
Liu Siping was a little worried, looking at this scale, he almost called the whole village, and on the side of the future daughter-in-law, there were also visitors from the company, guests from the county, and his classmates, I am afraid that there will be more than fifty tables in total, where to put it.
Zhang Zhenyi pursed his lips, and couldn't help but want to scold, this is still called a lot, have you never seen those rich second-generation officials and second-generation marriages, people have dozens of hundreds of luxury sports cars, and the hotel is only afraid that it is a five-star whole package, although we are not the rich second generation, but it is really indispensable when it is time to be famous.
"Uncle, don't worry about this, you will be your groom's official, and we will handle the wedding for you, what are you worried about with me."
The entire Liu family is busy, Zhang Zhenyi didn't have time to toss a good dress for himself, he was pulled to a car covered in red and colored, it is not bad to have such a four-wheeled car in this era, as a representative of the south, Zhang Zhenyi was arranged in the chief position of greeting relatives, this is a nephew and a talker, and he can't get a child's reason.
"Uncle, are you nervous? Introduce to everyone, what is my aunt like, as far as my grandparents have seen it, I haven't even glanced at it, this is our aunt, and you don't bring people to the house to get to know the big guys. ”
For the first time in his life, Liu Siping looked a little nervous, picking the collar of his clothes with both hands from time to time, but Zhang Zhenyi on the side was tossed miserably, and from time to time he was asked if it was right here, and whether it should be tied up here.
Ignoring the young man's words, Liu Siping began to be silent, as the eldest son of the Liu family, he is not a fool, can he be a fool after graduating from Jiangnan University, and he understands that the old man of his family is afraid that he is not very satisfied with this marriage, but he can't bear his face.
Thinking of the few classmates who confessed to themselves in college, my heart was a little blocked, if I hadn't promised the old secretary to marry the current girl, I am afraid that I should also start a family, and then I thought of the partner who was about to become my lifelong partner, and I was a little glad that no matter what, she was still her last choice.
In fact, the idea of rural people favoring sons over daughters is really profound, Liu Siping never expected that after he gave birth to his first daughter, he was forced to not have a second child due to the policy, and finally lasted until he was in his forties before he dared to have a second child, and the result was still a daughter, as the eldest son in the family, this simply became a root of the old man's heart.
The peasant family has the custom of marrying a dowry, so if you want to marry in style, you must prepare a rich dowry, which is actually the big head in the south, and it is not excluded that the woman has good conditions and brings a lot of things, and as far as the Liu family is concerned, naturally he does not owe such a little money, the old man generously took out tens of thousands of yuan from his grandson's pocket and wrapped a big red envelope to the in-laws, the only requirement is that the dowry does not need to be prepared, the family has it, as long as there are many people.
This time the greeting team is not humane, there are more than a dozen cars of different shapes gathered around, and they are slowly full of people, Zhang Zhenyi has already ordered, in addition to the relatives and friends at home, all of them are good hands selected from the village, a large number of them, it is simply a full forty or fifty mobile wine barrels, and the only goal this time is to drink all the men, women and children of Maojialing.
"Uncle Xueyou, don't forget to drink my cup later!"
Zhang Zhenyi has a headache about what to do with this wine, it stands to reason that he doesn't need to drink as a child, but the key is that people don't treat themselves as children, and they are not small, and their bodies look stronger than in their previous lives, and more importantly, in addition to their grandfather, they are themselves and their second uncle Liu Hongyuan, grandfather is good at drinking but doesn't drink much, and the second uncle can drink but can't stand the crowd, according to the customs of this place, the family members who came to greet their relatives, But you have to drink all the women's family members before you can start the next step, which is to welcome the bride into the car.
Seeing the big man around him, Zhang Zhen asked for help, and the object of asking for help was the man who pulled him back from the ditch, this short year of experience, the man has changed a lot, and he worked with Liu Hongyuan, and now he is the construction team leader of the construction company.
"I can't drink your wine, it's still a word if people don't let me, I'll teach you a trick, let your uncle drink when you drink, you will toast those people, call people who won't, how affectionate you can be, don't drink in a hurry, you toast as soon as they put down the glass, you can't refuse wine at this wedding banquet, I guarantee that they can't bear it anymore."
"Hahaha, Uncle Xueyou, I think you have done this lack of morality, it will be a belly of bad water, maybe you did it when you asked your wife to marry your aunt, no wonder you can come back alive, it's not easy."
The man was obviously right, and suddenly there were bursts of cheers in the carriage, this idea is still good, southern Anhui, just this custom, it is inevitable.
Maojialing is not very far from southern Anhui County, but it took more than an hour to walk into the local boundary, and the similar landform villages in the entire southern Anhui region are scattered in the fields.
In my memory, the eldest uncle Liu Siping at that time was very partial to several boys from his father-in-law's family, one was Mao Wang, the youngest son of his uncle's family, who was smart since he was a child, went to Southwest University of Finance and Economics in college, went to Germany to study after graduation, and brought a foreign girl back, and the other was Mao Tiantian, who was naughty and tight, but the university was a blockbuster, and he was admitted to the master's and doctoral studies of the National People's Congress, and he was coaxed all of a sudden.
There is also a little guy who came to the top, that is, the daughter of the eldest aunt and sister Mao Aihong, the elder brother Wang Jun is an ordinary goods, and the younger sister Wang Lan is a cow, and she studied abroad in high school.
Thinking of this, a strange smile appeared on the young man's face, which scared a few Chinese characters on the side.
"Shinichi, you're not an evil person, are you?"
Liu Hongyuan pushed the young man, and then woke up Zhang Zhenyi, who was sleepwalking, this baby was really dizzy, and he could be distracted in the car.
"It's here!"
Just when Zhang Zhenyi just woke up, the car in front of him had already found a good place to stop, Zhang Zhenyi immediately heard someone in front of him shouting to stop, in fact, there are not many people who can find more than a dozen cars to marry their daughters-in-law at this time, it should be too rare, it doesn't matter what kind of car you are, even if it's all tractors, it's amazing, it's the only one in a radius of ten miles and eight towns.
The men, women and children of the entire Maojialing know that the four girls of the Mao family are going to get married today, and the uncle is still a famous college student.
"Aunt Mao, your Aiping is terrible this time, and she has entered a good portal!"
"Yes, Aunt Mao, your new aunt is still a college student, and he is serving a national iron rice bowl, and the baby will be blessed in the future."
"Uncle Mao, you have to take out all the good wine and food from your house today, don't hide it, you see your uncle's situation, it is clear that he wants to come to beg for wine and drink, I look at this offspring, but there is no one who can not drink."
Mao Mingzhong was a little funny when he heard this, smiled and said a few words with everyone, and then sweated profusely and drilled out of the house, today is the new aunt who came to marry his daughter-in-law, although he has been here a few times before, but this time he is going to call the old man his father, which makes him a little happy.
Her daughter knows that she can find such a son-in-law, but she has dragged her aunt's blessing, her aunt is the old secretary of the five textile factory, and she has taken a fancy to such a young man, I heard that the person is very talented, and the surname is good, so she introduced the baby to the past, but I didn't expect this to become, although the son-in-law seems to have resigned this year, but I heard her aunt say that the future is better, and she has entered the country's top private enterprise, and she also has a good nephew, I heard what kind of writer comes.
"You hurry up and go to the house to prepare, let Aihong accompany her sister to talk, stand here and be stunned like something, the person in front has arrived, I will go to Zhang Luo Zhang Luo.
Aiwen, you go to your Uncle Qiang's to help, let them quickly get all the food and drinks, today your brother-in-law came to dozens of people, don't let people come to the house without food, you have to take care of enough wine.
Aifei, you go with me to pick up your brother-in-law. ”
The farmer's hospitality is true, the whole Maojialing town has caused a sensation, the Mao family has opened a small shop in the town for more than ten years, every family knows each other, and every family has received a big or small favor, and now the Mao family is married, naturally inside and outside to help, don't look at a lot of people, but the Mao family secretly held back a lot of energy, may not be able to be looked down on by outsiders.
Father Mao has a large stack of banknotes given by his in-laws, but he is not stingy, everything is picked and bought, and the wine and food are pulled two large carts, and at this time it is not close to the Chinese New Year's Eve, there are many things, and Liu Minghua also directly pulled a cart of things from the supermarket to be regarded as a dowry.
"In-laws, you're here, come on, hurry up and sit in the house!"
"In-laws, today we are really a family, today my son came to marry your daughter home, we will have to come and go back and forth in the future."
"Hahaha!"
Zhang Zhenyi looked at the thick smoke rising not far away, his heart was very calm and comfortable, if he didn't return to this time and space, and if he didn't change these status quo, perhaps, he was just a mortal in fate.
The weather was very funny on this day, the breeze was rippling, the waves were not alarming, and the first round of the sun was a round of fiery red, although it was not hot, but it was enough to warm people's hearts.
