Chapter 137: Not Ruthless Enough

Hongqi Commune. Nianzi Mountain Village!

On July 10th, the 23rd day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar, it is advisable to marry and pray for blessings!

Early in the morning, the old Li family in the east of the village continued to hear the sound of cannonballs, and the festive suona sound resounded throughout the village.

Today is the wedding day of Li Yi and Tang Xue, and the men, women and children in the village all came to Li's house early to have a banquet and helped by the way!

In these days, marrying a daughter-in-law is not a simple matter, and it often requires the help of many people.

At this time, you can see the status and prestige of a family in the village, and the prestige of the family does not need to be greeted by the head of the house, and there is an endless stream of people who help.

People with low prestige greet the people in the village many days in advance, and no one may be willing to help.

The Li family is obviously not worried that no one will help, and now there are many people in the village who owe Li Yi favors or want to follow Li Yi to make money, and they don't need Li Shankui to greet them, and many young people come over early in the morning to help carry water and chop firewood.

Regarding this wedding, the Li family had already greeted the people in the village, and they only held it for one day.

According to the custom of Saibei Province, it usually takes three days to marry a daughter-in-law.

That is, the first day of paving, the second day of the main day, and the third day of return.

The man's side had the best table on the second day, and it belonged to the main seat.

Although the other two days were also in charge of the guests' meals, the meals were relatively simple.

The woman was on the right day when she returned to the door, and the food she ate two days ago was relatively simple.

However, since Tang Xue's maiden family was not here, there was no return, so Lao Li's family simply canceled the shop and the return.

Although it was only held for one day, no one said that the Li family was stingy, because everyone knew that the Li family invited a cooking master from the city in order to entertain guests, and it was said that a table of banquets cost 18 yuan, all of which were delicious things that the big guys had never eaten.

And the masters who made the banquet went to the old Li family's new house yesterday afternoon and were busy, and the tempting fragrance wafted all over the village, I don't know how many little dolls cried greedily.

At seven o'clock in the morning, as soon as the cannon fire rang out, the Li family beckoned the villagers to eat crispy cakes at the new house!

This is also the custom here in Saibei, fried cake in the morning with flour soup and cold dishes!

Although it was not a main seat, after a while, the courtyard on the side of the new house was full of villagers waiting for dinner.

When the guests were almost here, Chef Liu beckoned the chefs to serve the dishes to the guests!

The fried golden and crispy fried cakes and cold vegetables were served on the table one by one, and the noodle soup was served in an enamel basin.

What surprised the villagers even more was that the Li family actually put a plate of white sugar on each table, which was used to dip fried cakes, which was really too luxurious.

Deep-fried cake is a food that southerners may not know, but it is actually a delicacy made with millet noodles.

The one that has not been fried is called vegetarian cake, and the fried one is called fried cake, which is a unique delicacy that only marriages and funerals will eat in Saibei.

It can't be helped, this thing is too fuel-intensive.

In this era when there are only 2 taels of oil per capita a month, it is really a luxury to want to eat a fried cake.

White sugar is even more of a luxury, and ordinary people can't buy it even if they have money.

These two things alone are enough to see how much the Lao Li family values this happy event, and the big guys can also feel the sincerity of the Lao Li family in entertaining guests.

When the Li family entertained the guests to eat crispy cakes, the educated youth were also jubilant.

Due to the absence of Tang Xue's mother's family, several female intellectuals became her mother's family.

Since yesterday, these female intellectuals have pasted the entire dormitory with big red happy characters, and red cloths have been hung on the doors.

And early this morning, they got up early.

While packing up for Tang Xue, he helped her put on wedding clothes, and he was very busy.

.........

At around nine o'clock in the morning, a jeep drove into the village, and then stopped at the Li family's new house.

When Li Yi saw it, he knew that it was Wang Anguo and they were coming, so he immediately came out to greet them.

Sure enough, as soon as he walked out of the courtyard gate, he saw Wang Anguo and Li Gang take the lead in getting out of the car.

Then they opened the back door again, and Mr. Wang walked down with the support of a middle-aged woman.

Li Yi took a closer look, wasn't that Wang Anguo's sister-in-law, that is, the wife of Wang Anmin, the number one in the county!

Obviously, it was not convenient for Wang Anmin to attend today's wedding banquet, so he asked his wife to come instead of him.

"Old man, you're here, please!" Li Yi immediately stepped forward and said.

"Hahaha, can I not come when you kid marries a daughter-in-law!" Old Man Wang said with a smile.

"Inside, please!"

As soon as these people were invited in, I saw a car parked in front of Li Yi's house.

Li Yi immediately confessed to Old Man Wang and went out to greet him.

This time it was Director Liang Yukui Liang, and several cadres from the sugar factory also came, including Director Ge, Captain Zhou and others.

As soon as the general was welcomed into the house, Liu Jingshan also came with a few acquaintances from the state-run hotel.

These people deal with Li Yi every day, and they are familiar with him, and they know that he is going to get married, so they come together.

Looking at the two cars parked outside and so many bicycles, the members of the village were stunned.

They all know that there are some relatives in Lao Li's family, and there are those who can afford to drive a car.

Obviously, these guests are all friends of Li Yi.

The big guys all know that Li Yi has developed during this period of time and has a lot of hard relationships in the city, but they didn't expect his friends to be so powerful that they all drove cars.

At ten o'clock in the morning, seeing that the time was almost up, Li Yi immediately asked the third sister to bring the big red happy characters and the newly picked flowers in the morning.

Later, in front of Wang Anguo's jeep, he began to drum.

After a while, a special wedding car was freshly baked!

Seeing that the police car of the county bureau was directly dressed up like this by Li Yi, Wang Anguo said with some tears and laughter: "No wonder you kid must wash the car before I come, it turned out to be this idea!" ”

Li Yi smiled and said: "I actually wanted to use Director Liang's car, but I thought that you are the patron saint of our people, so it's better for you to drive and marry the bride with me!" ”

"I believe you have a ghost, I think you dislike Brother Liang's car is too old!" Wang Anguo said with a smile.

Li Yi smiled and said, "You say you can see through it, you have to say it!" ”

"Hahaha, it's my fault, it's my fault!"

At this moment, the eldest brother-in-law Yang Wenguang came over and said, "Xiao Yi, it's almost time to pick up your relatives!" ”

"Okay!"

Then Li Yi tidied up his small suit, and then carried a red quilt to the jeep.

Then Li Yi said loudly to his father and mother standing at the door of the house in front of all the guests and relatives: "Father, mother, my son has gone to marry his daughter-in-law!" ”

Li Shankui and Zhang Yuehong said at the same time: "Go!" ”

After calling his father, the eldest brother-in-law took a pocket containing cigarettes, sugar cubes, and large and small cannons, and went out with Li Yi.

Walking outside the courtyard, Li Yi and Wang Anguo got into the car, one sitting in the driver's seat and the other sitting in the back seat.

And Yang Wenguang, the eldest brother-in-law who accompanied the marriage, first kicked a second at the gate, and then got into the co-pilot of the jeep.

Subsequently, the engine of the car started and went straight to the educated youth point not far away.
