172 hours arrived

"Lao Lu is fishing this time." Zhang Wu said, "As soon as I went, I was startled by what they were holding. ”

"I'll tell you what I saw, let's not talk about the quilt and mattress, this is the rule of marrying a daughter, and a pair of basins, toothbrushes and towels, you know what I saw, I saw toilet paper, and wire brushes for washing dishes, as well as chopsticks, spoons, not only these, but also underwear and underwear, all new, and toothpicks. You say, isn't it just marrying a girl, and what are you doing with a toothpick? Zhang Wu said indignantly there.

"I don't know what to say, anyway, the old father-in-law has put it on, I can't say no, Xiaoju means that as long as they give it, we won't say it." Lu Fangjun said a little arrogantly.

"When are you going to do something?" Zhao Guodong asked.

"I'm going to go to the class tomorrow for the marriage certificate, and the rest is to do the banquet, Xiaoju and their family won't come, and you all know that one person is full and the whole family is not hungry, so I plan to just celebrate with a few of us, there's no need to be so troublesome." Lu Fangjun said.

"Don't your school colleagues invite?" Zhang Wu asked, "All this is income?" ”

"I really don't have any friends in the school, most of them just know each other, including the leaders of the school, if I didn't teach the students a little way, they would have opened me a long time ago, where to keep me until now, I don't plan to invite them. A lot of people is lively, but there are a lot of people, so it's better to just be lively and lively. Lu Fangjun said.

"You didn't ask Xiaoju what she thought? For a girl, a wedding is very important. Xiaoxue's mother asked beside her, she is a woman, and she knows best what women care about most.

"You don't have to ask me about these things." At this time, Bai Xiaoju came out of the house with the two children, "Lao Lu is in charge." ”

"Xiaoying, where did you get these clothes?" Zhao Guodong saw that Xiao Yingzi and Xiao Xue were both dressed new.

"It was given to me by Aunt Bai, and I said don't come." Xiao Yingzi lowered her head, Zhao Guodong taught her since she was a child, don't take other people's things.

"Brother Zhao, don't blame her, I bought it for her, Xiaoying didn't want it, I forced it for her. Such a big child, she doesn't even have a decent clothes, even if she is strong, those children in the school will laugh at her, which is not good for the child's growth. Bai Xiaoju said.

Zhao Guodong sighed, lowered his head and stopped talking. Lu Fangjun also saw what Zhao Guodong was thinking, and patted Zhao Guodong on the shoulder, "Don't care too much, do you think this is given to you for free?" We will buy a pair for Xiaoying now, when we have children, it will be your turn to buy our children, the clothes are cheap now, and when we have children, I can't afford the clothes at that time, so I can only rely on you. ”

Zhao Guodong knew that Lu Fangjun's words were comforting him, so he smiled and put this matter aside.

"Xiaoju, you really don't care about this wedding, let me tell you, this is only this time in a woman's life, you have to think clearly." Xiaoxue's mother is still talking.

"I know that I think so, first, I honestly don't plan to work in the hospital, so I won't have any contact with them anymore, and there are few sisters who have a better relationship, so I'll come when the time comes. Second, we just got married, and there are a lot of things waiting for us to do. ”

"The house divided by the school is too small, and it is really impossible to live for two people, so I plan to buy a yard and make a small door. It's simpler, and our burden is smaller, so it's easier to wait until our child is born. Bai Xiaoju held Lu Fangjun's arm.

"Your business, you can do it, I'm just making a suggestion." Xiaoxue's mother is no longer insisting.

"You're going to make a face?" Zhao Guodong asked.

"Yes, with the little salary of the two of us, it's okay to support ourselves, but if we have a child, it won't be enough to spend at all, so we have to think of a way." Lu Fangjun said.

"Okay, you're pretty thoughtful." Zhang Wu said.

"I also happen to have this idea, I plan to use this house, and then get my old business, in addition to my lot will definitely make money, I am also short of a helper here, just the two of you look at it, let's work together." Zhao Guodong said.

"Dad, didn't I talk about medicine until your body is completely healed, are you talking about work? How did you forget again. Xiao Yingzi pulled Zhao Guodong's arm and said coquettishly.

"I just have an idea in the early stage, and the specific ones haven't been implemented yet, so let's discuss it now and see where we need to add, and when we start to do it, we won't be able to cross the river by feeling the stones, so we can be considered prepared." Zhao Guodong patted Xiao Yingzi's hand.

"Lao Zhang, you are a businessman, do you think so?" Lu Fangjun looked at Zhang Wu and said that Zhang Wu was in business, let him say a word, which was worth them thinking about all night.

"This lot is really good, against the street, and then next to the school gate, business is easy to do." Zhang Wu looked around, "It's just that the place is a little small, if you buy the next door and open up the two sides, this place will be about the same." ”

"I know you can see the problem." Lu Fangjun said.

"But let me tell you, isn't it recently rumored that a new county party secretary is coming, and the new official has taken office with three fires, and you have to prepare everything for this, like any business license, or everything is ready, otherwise it will be difficult to do." Zhang Wu said.

"Didn't you say that the new county party secretary came last year, why is there another one now?" Lu Fangjun said in wonder.

"It seems that someone above doesn't want him to come down, otherwise he can let Li Limin's two brothers cause such a disaster to Liu Town." Zhang Wu mentioned this is a belly of fire, when Liuzhen changed the county, made a lot of big projects, Zhang Wu also contracted a project, seeing that the project is about to be completed, the money that should be given is not given, Zhang Wu has come to the door many times, the county government just said, no money. There was no way for Zhang Wu to stop the project, otherwise he would not be able to live his life.

"Forget it, it's too early to talk about this, let's take care of these two people's affairs first." Xiaoxue's mother said, "Is your new house ready?" ”

"No, I'm going to settle in the school house first, and then find a place to buy a yard." Lu Fangjun said, "No matter what, the house must be there, so let's put it aside first, so that I can be regarded as having a home." Bai Xiaoju happily hugged Lu Fangjun's arm when she heard this.

"Then let's do it, let's eat first, and then go to the street to buy some things for relatives, candles, red things, it's simpler, and it's better to have a lively time." Xiaoxue's mother is still careful.

And when they had decided the matter, they went about their own business.

In the blink of an eye, there are only five days before the start of school, and firecrackers begin to be set off at the school gate.

"Yo, this school is open? So lively? Passerby A said.

"It doesn't look like it, when the school opened so lively, it shouldn't be the school open." Passerby B.

"What, someone in this family only set off a string of firecrackers when they got married, and it wasn't the little girl who set off the firecrackers just now who just ran back." Passerby C said.

"It's fun, it's fun." Xiaoxue jumped back to the house, this house is Zhao Guodong's house, Xiaoxue ran out of here to set off firecrackers just now.

Today the house is definitely brand new, newer than it was during the Chinese New Year. There are two big red happy words on the door, and a brand new couplet is hung on both sides, the upper one is "a good fate in the same place for a long time", and the lower one is "a hundred years of good couples and a long time". The windows on both sides are all pasted with bright red paper cutouts of early born Takako.

When I entered the door, I looked up and saw a big red happy word, hanging high in the middle hall, burning two wrist-thick candles below, and all kinds of melons and fruits were placed in the middle of the candles.

There are tables on both sides, two tables on one side for a total of four, all of which are covered with brand-new plastic tablecloths, on which are placed seven plates and eight bowls, with melon seeds and red wrapped candy in the middle, and dishes and chopsticks around them.

Relatives and friends gather in twos and threes, standing or sitting, smiling, but when the time comes, they meet the bride and groom. The kitchen is in full swing, with pots and spoons and dishes touching bowls, which is very lively. There are two or three busy figures in the kitchen, one is Xiaoxue's mother, one is Zhao Guodong, and the other is Zhang Wu.

Is it the two little girls who rushed in, it was Xiaoxue and Xiaoyingzi, the two little girls came in from time to time, or put the fried dishes on the table, or came in with dishes and bowls.

"Brother Zhao, there are no dishes here, right?" Xiaoxue's mother put the cut vegetables in her hand in the basin and asked.

"I'll see." Zhao Guodong wiped his hand on his apron, took out a piece of paper from his pocket and counted it, this paper was the menu they set, "No, this dish is the last one, and there will be no more when it's done." ”

"Right away." Zhang Wu laboriously turned over the wok, and then poured the vegetables that Xiaoxue's mother had just cut into it, and heard the sound of "stinging, stinging, stinging" oil, and after a while, Zhang Wu scattered the dishes in four plates, "Okay, let's go!" Xiao Xue and Xiao Ying each held a wooden tray, put Zhang Wu's fried dishes on the table, and skillfully brought them to the table.

"It's almost time, let's clean up." Zhao Guodong said.

"I'm tired to death, Lao Lu's marriage has made me tired enough, but he is gone." Zhang Wu said.

"He is the groom's officer." Xiaoxue's mother said.

When everyone sat down, Zhang Wu raised his hand and looked at his watch.

"The hour has come! Newcomers are invited! ”
