He needs to earn money to feed his mother, and he also needs to feed Mengyao, and their future son who will be like garlic braids. Therefore, while you are young, you must not be idle from home, and it is clear that you can't get married on May Day.

Although you get a certificate, if you don't eat a banquet, you won't get the approval of the villagers, so even if you set up a door, you will definitely not be able to mix it up in the future. Therefore, it is indispensable to call relatives and friends, fathers and villagers to eat, and it will cost a lot of money at that time.

He is still wearing a torn cotton jacket and Lei Feng hat, covering spring and autumn.

1982 in Beijing, cold.

When he came to the construction site, looking at the taller and taller buildings, he estimated the day of completion, and there was hope for the summer.

Mengyao is almost home, right? I shouldn't have lost that thousand dollars, right? Erxi couldn't help but mutter.

On the construction site, Erxi works hard and pays as much as possible, Daxi has been taking care of Erxi for so many years, and every time he sends more money than others, he wants to be worthy of the praise he gets. So he worked harder than others, and he also wanted to make up for the delay of these few days.

Gradually, spring has passed.

I don't know what happened to Mengyao, but suddenly one day, he and Loach were walking to the rest place after eating with a big lunch box, talking and laughing together, and suddenly saw Daxi who was short and strong in the distance, and waved to him.

"Huh? A letter? Erxi hurriedly ran over.

After receiving the letter, he quickly hid in the temporary construction shed, opened the letter and carefully considered the words.

It probably means that thanks to Erxi's 1,000 yuan, my father was treated, and although he is bedridden now, he is still alive after all. She needs to be at home, take care of them with her mother, and when her brother gets married on May Day, she and her mother do it for her brother.

In the end, she thanked Erxi again and promised to see you when she was done.

Erxi hurriedly didn't stop, just for her to reply: "I'm waiting for you." ”

He felt that the fewer words, the more powerful, rather than frivolous...... So, the good spring is spent like this. Erxi is still working hard every day, and 2 more letters came, and finally the work on the construction site was over.

This time, Erxi earned nearly 8,000 yuan, and he had never been so happy. The construction site is gone, and Erxi and Loach are separated.

The letter also said that Mengyao wanted to take a long-distance bus to the lotus pond to find Erxi. The new daughter-in-law is finally about to pass through the door, and Erxi is naturally happy. So when I returned to my hometown, I was in a hurry to pack up the house.

In the outhouse of the east house and the west house, a person was busy, cleaning up inside and out, and even the swallow's nest on the roof was poked down and thrown on the dung heap. Every year, the swallows are the most noisy, fluttering to and fro, not to mention the random urine and urine in the outer room, and often flapping their wings, flying up countless bird feathers, falling on a table, and even a board, which is simply disgusting.

Renovate the house, and Erxi himself will go into battle, he is an expert. On the first day, the roof tiles were rearranged and replaced.

The next day, he painted all the walls with great white, and he himself turned his back to the sky and erected a reed roof. I don't want the sorghum straw on the roof to be exposed, but a flat and snow-white civilized roof like a city person. It's good to wake up from a dream every day and look at the snow white, and have a good mood. All of this was designed by himself, implemented by himself and done independently.

Less than a month.

Sure enough, the hard work paid off, and the room was indeed bright. You don't even need to turn on the lights at night to see people. The old lamp ropes were also replaced, and the two worn-out drawings on the walls were also removed and discarded.

On the wall of the kang, a picture of a baby boy was also specially pasted.

After marriage, in order to seek more children and grandchildren, you should be particular. Not only is it pasted on the wall of the kang, but the rest of the pictures of the baby boy in various postures are also pasted all over the back wall. Some of the fat boys are sitting, some are lying, some are lying down, and some are looking up and turning back...... Pray everywhere for the smooth birth of the little three, the four, and the five......

Finally, the torn curtain was also replaced.

The old windows and doors outside were also repainted, and even the damper was not dropped. The entire three rooms have been renovated from the inside out. In the end, I was anxious to put the word happy on the wind gate. Even the water tank in the outhouse, the pickle tank in the courtyard, and the broken door at the gate were all pasted. On the small peach tree that has just been planted for less than a year, several red double happiness cards are also pasted.

When the old woman saw the Bodhisattva's manifestation, she also burned incense more often, and the household registration book and marriage certificate have been offered, burning incense and praying every day. After being busy, Erxi didn't care about being dirty and tired, and was anxious to send good news to relatives and friends.

September 22 is the most auspicious day. 9 represents longevity, 2 represents love, what a good day, everywhere is full of auspiciousness.

September 20th.

At the Hexi long-distance bus station, Erxi picked up Mengyao. As soon as Meng Yao entered the house, he was amazed by the whitewashed home. When I saw the sticker on the wall, I was stunned...... But suddenly, his face turned red again.

Ignorant and suddenly led by others, awakening the meaning of life and the focus of marriage. It seems to have been manipulated and pointed out by the predecessors.,And the maze that I never realized in the past.。 So she stiffened, not knowing what to do.

No matter how ignorant and shy, in less than two days and nights, a good day was ushered in.

September 22nd.

This day has finally come, and the heavens are also beautiful.

Actually, the night before. sent Meng Yao to a relative's house in a neighboring village in advance, waiting for the next day's marriage. Before leaving, the old woman put on a big red belly pocket for her, and carried a round mirror in her arms, and the plastic shell wrapped in the mirror was also printed with her own physiognomy pattern.

Everything is prepared in accordance with the local customs of the lotus pond.

At three or four o'clock in the morning, Erxi drove a small donkey cart to pick up his new daughter-in-law in a neighboring village, and arrived home in more than an hour. Immediately after, a joyful 100-head firecracker "crackled" in the red and white smoke.

Sewing machine bicycle ......

The order is placed in the outer room, showing to the parents and villagers, just unpacked, shiny and shiny, can reflect the human figure, naturally looks particularly domineering.

A green wedding shed was set up in the courtyard, relatives and friends pushed cups and changed lamps, distributed cigarettes and sweets, and frequently praised the peach blossom luck of the two joys. waited and waited, and actually waited for a fairy daughter-in-law, who was a single for so long, and did not lose at all.

Hearing everyone say this, Erxi bowed his head shyly.

His big black lips trembled, and he didn't know how to answer, although he was so old, he really hadn't experienced it, and he didn't have much mental preparation.

This year, the feeling of joy is like a dream.

Mengyao's cheeks, as early as last night, before going to the neighboring village, were opened by her mother-in-law with cotton thread. The white thread, rolled back and forth, stirred for an hour, and then rolled back and forth with the black thread, making the skin a little painful, but I didn't dare to say it and could only endure it, it is estimated that the hairs on the skin have been disturbed.

This morning, she applied a little powder, her hair was in a high bun, and there was a red flower on the top of the dark clouds, and her coiled hair set off her long neck, like a white swan, upright and bewitching and proud. There is also the pink duck egg face, the peach blossoms on the side, and the crimson on the cheeks, which is as natural and beautiful as Danxia.

When she saw her relatives who came to Lilai, she would bend down and nod generously and decently, no matter how she smiled, her skin was so bright and moisturized, without the slightest wrinkle and flaw.

Although the pearl on the ear is not as heavy as the diamond, it is calm and elegant, light and restrained. Yingying white, in the plain simplicity, with a long-lasting moisturizing brilliance, enough to light up life, there is a lot of moisturizing things silently, the softest to moisturize the feeling of moisturizing.

At this moment, the subtle pearl was quietly striving for glory by the peach blossom with the ear sideburns.

She was wearing a pink sweater on her upper body, a pink tweed skirt underneath, and a pair of red high-heeled wrist boots under her feet, which Erxi bought from Xidan Shopping Mall by vomiting blood.

Standing in the courtyard of the earthen house, she was concave and convex, slim, graceful, exuding a fairy spirit, and all the guests present were amazed.

For a while, everyone didn't know why.

In a trance, I thought that I had come to the Heavenly Palace, which was at the peach banquet, celebrating the festival for the fairy of the Moon Palace, with a strong sense of otherworldliness.

In front of the pictures of naked baby boys in the house, Erxi pulled her tight, and her uncle and aunt introduced her, she shouted shyly, and her voice was also beautiful.

The uncles and aunts all laughed and burst into tears, and they did not hesitate to take out more gifts. Although there are only 2, 5 or 10 yuan, they are all happy, and everyone is happy to be happy and be able to marry a beautiful lady.

After the banquet was dispersed, the newlyweds entered the cave room.

Relatives and friends have long since dispersed, and they all ride their bicycles home early, and if they have good conditions, several families share a walk-behind tractor. I saw that after they sat down with happy flowers, the master shook the iron rod with all his might.

Countless laps later.

There was a loud bang

When I saw the whole body of the tractor, I suddenly trembled, and puffs of black smoke billowed out. The master sat firmly, and when the car left, the scene of waving his hand was really majestic and solemn.

The relatives all came from various villages, some of them were more than ten miles away, and in order not to disturb the couple, they were almost clear at three o'clock in the afternoon.

This night.

They were finally married.

The next day, after the rooster crowed a few times, Mengyao got up early and prepared to hold firewood for the fire. But the mother-in-law seemed to have gotten up, and when she had finished burning incense and praying, she heard the voice, and immediately lifted the curtain and came out.

"Oh, no, the new daughter-in-law doesn't have to do the work, rest, be obedient, go and rest." After speaking, he really pushed Mengyao back into the house.

Mengyao was pushed back to the eaves of the West Inghouse kang where there were no fireworks, sat and rested, and Erxi asked again: "Daughter-in-law, are you thirsty?" Would you like a glass of water? ”

Meng Yao took the water cup handed over, holding the warmth in his hand, and his heart was also warm.

Indeed, as my mother expected, what a good family. My husband is old, but he treats me like a brother and a father, and my mother-in-law is also old, but she also treats me like a daughter. Although he was in a foreign country, he did not have the slightest sense of loss, but he really fell into a blessed nest.

A stream of warmth is scattered and agitated all over the body.

After that, the old woman turned around, moved her half-big feet, and began to work hard again for breakfast. Looking at the big iron pot for a while, squatting and pulling the bellows for a while, and from time to time to pick firewood with a fire stick, seeing that there is thick smoke, I immediately picked up the broken pu fan on the bellows again, and fanned it a few times decisively, until there was no smoke.

But today it will be easier.

All she needs to do is paste the cake and make porridge.

Although yesterday's meal was distributed to the neighbors when I returned the borrowed food, there was still a lot left, so I heated the fried tofu and cabbage.

It was almost ten o'clock, and the old woman finally dared to call for two people to eat.

Mengyao wanted to tidy up the dishes and move the table, but she was pushed away by her mother-in-law, and still said, "The new daughter-in-law doesn't have to do anything, I'll come, I'll come." ”

Mengyao's heart was warm, and he was glad to marry the right person again.
