In the next few days, Zhang Jizong began to concentrate on collecting money, and he ran all over the homes of the three aunts, seven aunts and eight uncles. Needless to say, there must have been a lot of closed doors.

In that era when every family was still worried about food and clothing, it is no wonder how many families would have spare money.

"I said Jizong! It's not that the uncle won't lend it to you, you see that the uncle is also poor jingle, and he didn't eat the next meal. His uncle fiddled with the tobacco leaves in his hand, with a helpless expression on his face.

"It's okay, then I'll leave first, uncle." Zhang Jizong got up and left in frustration, and his uncle sent him to the door.

This was the last person he could think of borrowing money, but it was as useless as before. The money in his hand is still a big difference, Zhang Jizong thought all the way, and he even thought of selling blood, or maybe selling kidneys or something.

"Why? is depressed, how can there be a little groom official appearance! Tang Boyi suddenly rushed out and punched Zhang Jizong in the chest.

"Why? It's not a gift money, so I'm going to sell my kidney. ”

"Give."

Tang Boyi took out a bag of things wrapped in newspaper from his pocket and slapped it into Zhang Jizong's hand with a snap.

"What?"

"If you open it and take a look, you'll know." Tang Boyi said mysteriously, with a casual expression on his face, kicking the small stones on the ground as he walked.

Zhang Jizong stopped, with curiosity, and opened the package in his hand, which contained a stack of brand-new old versions of money, and a musty smell.

Zhang Jizong hurried up and grabbed Tang Boyi's arm, "Where did you get this money?" ”

"Anyway, it's not stealing, it's not robbing, you can rest assured that you can use it, plus this is enough for 500 yuan, right?"

Zhang Jizong looked at the money in his hand, although he is in urgent need of money now, he can't harm his brother! He thought to himself.

"Say! Where did it come from? ”

"Oops! When did you become such a mother-in-law, my sister said that this is my father's compensation, and it is reserved for me to marry my daughter-in-law. We're brothers! If you marry a daughter-in-law, I will marry a daughter-in-law, you take it and use it first, and then return it to me later, don't say how can this be, otherwise I won't recognize you as a brother. ”

Tang Boyi said everything that should be said and what should not be said in one go, and Zhang Jizong couldn't interject even if he wanted to. At this time, silence is better than sound, Zhang Jizong patted Tang Boyi's shoulder, and the two walked towards the distance with their shoulders.

I vaguely heard Tang Boyi also say: "Be nice to Shumei." ”

With Tang Boyi's charcoal in the snow, Zhang Jizong and Shumei can finally have lovers and finally become married.

After Zhang Jizong and Tang Boyi separated, he got on the boat and couldn't wait to rush to Shumei's house, and as soon as he entered the door, he handed over the money he had collected to Kang Yong, who was sitting in the courtyard.

"Enough?"

"Hmmm! Uncle Kang, do you want to count? Zhang Jizong gasped and said.

Kang Shumei, who was in the back room, heard Zhang Jizong's voice and ran out of the house excitedly, and the two looked at each other to send autumn waves.

"That's still a question." Kang Yong counted the money sent by Zhang Jizong back and forth several times, and made sure that the amount was correct, before he said to Shumei, who was behind him and couldn't wait to go with Zhang Jizong: "Shumei, go with him!" There's no need to toss around for the wedding banquet or anything. ”

But Zhang Jizong did not agree, Shumei is the woman he loves deeply, although he can't give Shumei a wedding like Ma Yaoxiang, but at least he has to welcome Shumei openly.

"Shumei, you wait for me, I will choose an auspicious day, and I will come to welcome you."

Shumei nodded vigorously, Zhang Jizong reluctantly turned around and left, and when he returned home, he asked his aunt to find an auspicious day for the zodiac, prepare a banquet, simply decorate his and Shumei's new house, and invite someone to blow the trumpet. Zhang Jizong and his father and mother were also busy for his marriage.

On the day of the wedding, Zhang Jizong was wearing a brown and yellow shirt, a pair of loose trousers, a pair of big scalp shoes on his feet, and a big red flower hanging on his chest. The greeting team came to the river and got on a boat with big red flowers, and Zhang Jizong came to Kang's house with a simple greeting team.

Although the Kang family did not prepare anything, and no one even knew that Shumei was getting married today, Zhang Jizong's horn still attracted some onlookers.

Zhang Jizong entered the Kang family courtyard and came to Shumei's room, Shumei combed two braids for herself, tied a red bow at the end of the braid, and wore the new clothes that Zhang Jizong prepared for her. Shumei sat on the bed, happiness written on her face.

Seeing Zhang Jizong enter the door, she stood up happily, Zhang Jizong put the big red flower in his hand on Shumei, held her hand tightly, and the two went out hand in hand, with happy smiles on their faces.

Tang Boyi, as their best friend, is naturally among the greeting team, but it's a pity that from beginning to end, Shumei didn't look at him squarely, he was like a transparent person, standing silently in the crowd.

The two kowtowed to Kang Yong and Su Kui, who were sitting in the hall, and the two elders were so bearable, their expressions were very numb, and they didn't have the blessings and red envelopes they should have.

"Let's go!"

Shumei pulled Zhang Jizong to get up, this was what she expected, and she didn't expect them to give her anything, she could be with Zhang Jizong as she wished, this was already a gift from God to herself.

Zhang Jizong looked at the indifferent second elder, and felt very uncomfortable, on this happy day, the second elder's reaction was still like this, it can be seen that Shumei usually doesn't know how much suffering she has suffered at home. He secretly swore in his heart that he would be doubly good to Shumei in the future.

The horn outside the door kept blowing, and the two held hands and squeezed out of the onlookers, followed the trumpeter, and walked towards the river.

In just a few days, Shumei became a bride twice, and the onlookers were talking to each other, pointing and pointing, how difficult the words were, how ugly they heard and how ugly they were, what changed the groom every day to be the bride every night, and what fox broke shoes. Anyway, every word pierces the heart, and every sentence is bloody.

"Shumei, the days are our own, don't listen to their nonsense, we will definitely be happy."

Hearing these gossips, Zhang Jizong grabbed Shumei's hand and tightened it a lot, and comforted Shumei.

"Jizong, did you know me on the first day? If I'm so vulnerable, how can I wait for you. ”

The two smiled at each other and continued to walk forward. Soon they came to the river, got on the ferry that stopped there, crossed the river and went ashore, and they went straight to Zhang Jizong's house.

The Zhang family set up a few tables of banquets in their small courtyard, and the banquets were all relatives and neighbors who did not wear five clothes.

Maybe Shumei's previous "scandal" hasn't spread yet! After crossing the river, the villagers praised Shumei, saying that Zhang Jizong was so lucky to marry such a beautiful bride. Especially those younger men, who saw Shumei were dumbfounded, all of them looked salivating.
