Qiao Xi asked about Zhang Xile and his object, and listened to Zhang Xile's description, he was a very cheerful girl to Wang Xiaoyan, who did not dislike his poor family, and the relationship between the two had always been very good. Only in the etiquette of marriage, Wang Xiaoyan's parents must do a lot of things for the sake of face, and Wang Xiaoyan has no choice.

Zhang Xile, with his current family conditions, can afford it very heavily, and he already owes his uncle Zhang Shouye 48,000 yuan for famine.

Qiao Xi looked at her watch, it was already more than two o'clock in the afternoon, and she said to Zhang Xile: "If you don't have anything else to do now, go to your partner's house with me, and I'll talk to them." ”

"Does it work?" Zhang Xile asked hesitantly.

This is all at the time of marriage, and the gift money has also been given, and then for the last wedding etiquette, the marriage has been messed up. However, he had some expectations in his heart, if Qiao Xi could do a good job in Wang Xiaoyan's family, he would save a lot of money.

"Try it!" Qiao Xi is not sure, but as the resident secretary of Xiaoquanzi Village, she must try to stop this wedding ceremony, which is a document issued by the state, and she must obey it unconditionally.

Wangjia Village is more than ten miles away from Xiaoquanzi Village, and Qiao Xi and Zhang Xile pedaled their bicycles to find it. The mountain road was rugged, and when they arrived at Wang Xiaoyan's house, both of them were tired and sweating.

Wang Xiaoyan's family conditions are okay, red brick and big tile house, because she is about to get married, the family is cleaning up the house.

Seeing Zhang Xile leading people here, the family all went out of the house and led Zhang Xile and Qiao Xi into the living room.

It was covered with tiled floors, two sofas, a television set hanging from the wall, and a few chairs around it.

The wheat was drying in the yard of the house, and it was ready to go to the mill to grind white flour, and it was now mid-afternoon, and the sun had moved westward. Qiao Xi gestured to Zhang Xile, and Zhang Xile went to the yard without saying a word and cleaned up the wheat.

His object, Wang Xiaoyan, was a chubby girl, and followed to the yard and found a woven bag to help clean up the food.

Only Wang Xiaoyan's parents were left in the house, and the two of them were much younger than Zhang Xile's father, both in their forties, and they were dressed cleanly.

Wang Xiaoyan's mother Liu Sujuan went to perm her hair not long ago, and brought Qiao Xi a cup of tea happily, "Secretary Qiao, why did you come to our house with Xile?" ”

"I wanted to talk to you about Joy and Xiaoyan's marriage." Qiao Xi looked in the direction of the sofa, Wang Xiaoyan's father was called Wang Dafu, he was a very stylish man, he was the village chief of their Wangjia Village, and he still had a pen in his jacket pocket, leaning comfortably on the back of the sofa, his hands crossed together.

Wang Dafu picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Secretary Qiao, we have met a few times in the town, and we are acquaintances, so you can just say what you have." ”

"Uncle, you also know that the government has issued a document asking the big guys to simplify the wedding ceremony and not be overly extravagant and wasteful......"

Before Qiao Xi's words were finished, Wang Dafu had already waved his hand and interrupted: "If you came here for this matter, then you can go back, and this matter is not negotiable." Eight wedding cars, a banquet in the town, and a master of ceremonies to record the video are essential. ”

Qiao Xi was silent, raised her head and said, "Uncle, aunt, you must want her to be happy when you marry your daughter!" You must know better than I do about the situation in the Joy Family, is it really necessary to add such a heavy burden to their lives in the future? ”

"If you can't afford to marry, don't marry!" Wang Dafu suddenly became angry, "Do you think I want Xiao Yan to marry into your Xiaoquanzi Village?" Your village is a notoriously poor village, and my daughter will definitely have to suffer if she goes. I'm not married yet, but I'm going to push it around with a wedding ceremony, and I don't think this marriage will be concluded. ”

Liu Sujuan hurriedly glared at him, "Her father, what are you talking about?" The old and young in the village know that they are going to get married, don't you make people laugh? ”

"Joke what? If you want to laugh at him, it's also a joke about him, is he going to marry a daughter-in-law, and in the end he can't even get a decent wedding? Wang Dafu stood up and shouted angrily: "I am also a stupid girl, I don't know where I like this poor boy?" Even the money for marriage has to go around to famine, how will you live this life in the future? ”

Qiao Xi then stood up, "Uncle, Joy must have his advantages, he is diligent, filial, and carpenter, and the furniture in the new house is made by himself, and I also believe that he will give your daughter a happy life in the future." ”

Wang Dafu snorted, "It's useless to say this, it's all in the future, who can see it." ”

Qiao Xi turned around and looked at the yard, Zhang Xile and Wang Xiaoyan opened the woven bag, and the other used a shovel to fill the grain inside, and looked at each other from time to time, and the love in them could not be concealed, which made Qiao Xi turn around with a slight smile.

"Uncle, you see how good your relationship is, can you bear to break them up?" Qiao Xi smiled, his eyes becoming more and more serious, "I can't guarantee how Xile and Xiaoyan will live in the future, but there is one thing I can promise you." From the moment Xiaoyan married into our Xiaoquanzi Village, she was the daughter of our whole village, and we were all her maiden family, and she would not be wronged. ”

When he said this, Wang Dafu frowned tightly and stopped talking.

Liu Sujuan looked at Qiao Xi and said with a slight smile: "Secretary Qiao, I am still very moved in my heart if you can say something." You may not be able to understand the heart of being a mother, other people's daughters are married in a beautiful way, and if our Xiaoyan is too shabby, she will be laughed at behind her back. This is also the last thing we do for our daughter, and the future is up to her. ”

Of course, Qiao Xi understands her feelings, although she is not a mother, her mother's love for her is the same, and she is afraid that her daughter will suffer.

"Auntie, I can assure you that although the wedding of Xile and Xiaoyan will not cost a lot of money, it must be meaningful." Qiao Xi said.

In order to change the bad habits of rural weddings, the state advocates tourism marriages, collective weddings, anniversaries marriages, etc., which are much more meaningful than eating and drinking.

"Then you can hear it." Liu Sujuan is obviously a little tempted, all for the good of her daughter, she also wants her daughter to recall the day she got married, not just a drunk person, but full of good memories.

Wang Dafu glared at Liu Sujuan hatefully, "Say a few nice words, and your ears will be soft." You can do it yourself, anyway, it's your daughter, don't rely on me if you're laughed at in the future. ”

After speaking, he snorted out of the living room, Zhang Xile, who was collecting grain in the yard, went over to say hello, Wang Dafu ignored it and went out of the house directly.

"Auntie, I don't think it's good to go to the restaurant in the town on the wedding day, and set up a few tables in the village. And there's no need for the master of ceremonies or anything, if you want to keep the picture of the time you got married, you can do it with your mobile phone. Qiao Xi smiled, "Because Xile and Xiaoyan will be very busy that day, they will go out to travel after the wedding banquet is over, and they don't have time to be teased by the master of ceremonies." ”

"Tourism?" Liu Sujuan's eyes showed a little surprise, they stayed in the village all the year round, they didn't have any concept of tourism, and they forgot when they had been to the city.

Going to the big city is a tourist for her.

Qiao Xi said with a smile: "Auntie, I have a friend who has opened an attraction development company and has contacts with tourist attractions in various places, so I asked him to help Xile and Xiaoyan arrange a tourist route to go around some commemorative attractions." ”

The person she was talking about was naturally Ji Xuyang, during this time, the two of them sent messages by chance, after all, both parties had gone on a blind date at the request of their parents, and the relationship was much more familiar than before.

Speaking of which, Qiao Xi sent a message to Ji Xuyang and told him what he thought.

Soon the message came back.

"No problem, I'll talk about it when I'm done with the meeting."

Liu Sujuan became more and more interested, "Secretary Qiao, if you go on a trip, can you let Xile and Xiaoyan go to Yanjing to have a look, I want them to go to the People's Heroes Monument to send a wreath." ”

Her eyes suddenly turned red, she shook her head, and tears began to roll, "I won't tell you the truth, my grandfather participated in the revolution and died in the Liberation War, and in the end he didn't even find a body." After so many years, we haven't been to see him, I want Xiaoyan to go and see and kowtow to his old man. ”
