"Second brother, it's a little to the left, a little higher to the right." Ming Nuan stood in the living room, Ming Cheng happily listened to her dispatch, stepped on the sofa in socks, and obeyed Ming Nuan's command to move the photo a little bit.

The photo is not big, about fifteen inches, Mingyang has a haircut, between his eyebrows and eyes is a rare warmth in this era, the corners of his mouth are raised, showing his good mood, revealing the lapels of his tunic and the pocket on his chest, Guan Xia next to him is also smiling with a happy face, and his not too long hair is smashed into two braids and hangs down on his chest, revealing the upper part of Lenin's suit.

After finding a free time, Huo Jianguo and Chen Guiyun went to Guan Xia's hometown and finalized the marriage date with Guan Xia's parents, which was set for the National Day.

The wedding date of Mingyang and Guan Xia was set, and Chen Guiyun also temporarily put down Mingnuan's marriage and concentrated on preparing for Mingyang's marriage.

Mingyang and Guan Xia's wedding house is in the family courtyard of the court, the house is not big, it is a very common building at this time, the stairs are outside, three or four households are on the first floor, and the corridor outside is also a balcony.

The layout of the house is also very common, with a long kitchen and two bedrooms, but it is such a house that many families cannot get for many years of work.

For example, the two largest units in Jishi, the Jishi Iron and Steel Plant and the Jishi Coal Mine, many workers have worked in the factories for more than ten years, and they can only squeeze a few families into a small room of more than 10 square meters.

Mingyang was able to get this house, in addition to the court's attention to him, a college student assigned from Beijing, the most important thing is that the court has few people, and some multi-family houses are empty.

"Hey, look, how do I feel that this happy word is not symmetrical?" Bai Weilie pinched a big red word of joy with both hands and said to everyone.

Qi Junze turned to him on crutches, looked at him for a while, and said, "Symmetrical, your eyes are crooked." ”

"Hahaha."

Mingcheng laughed unkindly.

"What are you laughing at?" At this time, the door was opened, and Mingyang came in with a large bag of things, followed by Guan Xia with a smile on his face.

They're shopping for something to get married.

Candy, melon seeds, peanuts, bits and pieces.

"It's nothing, sister-in-law, look at it, isn't it festive?" Ming Nuan pointed to the room and said.

A few of them came to Mingyang's new house early in the morning to clean and decorate.

"It's very festive, I like it very much, thank you Ming Nuan." Guan Xia nodded and said.

"I also helped, why don't you thank me?" Mingxi walked up to Guan Xia and said with his head tilted.

"Okay, thank you Mingxi too." Guan Xia bent down and touched Mingxi's small short hair and said, "Come, reward you with a piece of candy." Guan Xia took out a piece of white rabbit from his pocket and put it in Mingxi's palm.

"Hehe, you're welcome, thank you, sister-in-law." Mingxi smiled and the corners of his eyes were slightly raised, looking very playful.

"Big brother, Mom asked me to ask you, have you counted the guests?" Mingcheng jumped down from the couch and asked.

"It's already done." Mingyang walked to the master bedroom, took out a piece of paper and handed it to Mingcheng, "This is my friend, and that side is Guan Xia's." ”

Bai Weilie also looked at it from above, and said to Guan Xia: "Didn't you deal with Meng Dongxia from the Personnel Department, why did you invite her?"

"What's going on?" Mingyang hurriedly asked.

Guan Xia said indifferently: "It's nothing, it's just that she usually likes to say sour things, so I invited her to come and make her jealous." ”

After saying that, Guan Xia couldn't help but laugh first, and then everyone laughed too.

Bai Weilie gave a thumbs up and said to Guan Xia: "Your trick is really high, let her say it in the future, she used to just say sour words on her lips, and she will have to sour in her heart in the future." ”

"Knock Knock"

"It should be Uncle Zhao who helped deliver the sewing machine." Ming Nuan walked to the door and said.

When the door was opened, it was Zhao Chunhua, and of course there was another person, standing in front of the door with a sewing machine.

"Uncle Zhao, come in."

Zhao Chunhua came with a young man.

"Where?" Zhao Chunhua asked after putting the sewing machine on the ground.

"Uncle Zhao, don't be busy, we'll just get it." Mingcheng alone lifted the sewing machine and put it in a corner of the living room, Guan Xia took out the water cup and poured two glasses of water and handed it to them.

"Uncle Zhao, thank you so much." Mingyang said sincerely.

At this time, the materials are tight, and it is really not easy to purchase the things needed for marriage in the short term, thanks to the acquaintance of Zhao Chunhua.

"You're welcome?" Zhao Chunhua waved his hand and said, "This is Xiao Xie." ”

Everyone exchanged a few words, and when Zhao Chunhua and Xiao Xie left, Guan Xia gave each of them a bag of candy and cakes, which were all stained with joy, and everyone would not refuse.

Ming Nuan pulled the sewing machine head out of the table, the butterfly brand sewing machine, the spine of the machine head was written with the words "Shanghai Sewing Second Factory", and the body was engraved with golden patterns, a combination of black and gold, which looked rich and dignified.

Ming Nuan sat on the stool, stepped on it out of thin air, and said, "It's good, it's not sinking." ”

If the pedal of the sewing machine is heavy, it will be very tiring to use.

"Sister-in-law, let's ignore them, tell them to clean up, let's go see if the clothes from the previous two days are ready?" Ming Nuan stood up and said.

Guan Xia looked at the house that had not yet been cleaned up with some embarrassment.

"Go ahead, we're here, it's enough." Mingyang whispered to Guan Xia.

"Hehe, the eldest brother feels sorry for the sister-in-law!" Mingxi said in a hurry.

"What do you know about this little girl?" Mingcheng gently grabbed Mingxi's ear and said.

"Don't bully me, I'm a backer." Mingxi broke free from Mingcheng's clutches and ran behind Qi Junze with a smoke, "Brother-in-law, help me quickly." ”

"Don't worry, hide behind me, your second brother won't dare to beat you." Qi Junze patted her behind the back of his hand and said.

Hearing Qi Junze's words, Mingxi proudly stretched out his little head and stuck out his tongue towards Mingcheng.

"When your brother-in-law is away, see how I clean you up." Ming Cheng deliberately squeezed his fists and said.

"Don't you dare, I'll tell Dad." There are a lot of amulets for Mingxi.

"Hmph, ignore you, sister-in-law, sister, let's go!" When Mingxi said this, he had a domineering feeling.

The one they were looking for to make clothes was an old tailor, the one Gu Wenjing found for them before, and after the wind tightened, he no longer made clothes for people openly, but secretly made some subsidies for the family.

The old tailor's surname is Jiang, in fact, his surname is Jiang, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he changed his surname, he is already fifty or sixty years old, with a reading glasses, and his fingers are still flexible.

"Here we are." Tailor Jiang opened the door, saw that it was them, looked left and right, and the neighbors were not at home, so he let them in with confidence.

There wasn't much in the room, but there was a sewing machine under the window, and a lot of rags scattered on the large table next to it, as well as some chalk and tape measures.

"The tweed coat you asked for is ready, and the vest will have to wait two days." The ginger tailor wears a tape measure around his neck.

"Alas~ People are old, and their work is not as good as before." He said with a wry smile.

"It's okay, Uncle Jiang, we're not in a hurry, you do it slowly." Ming Nuan said.

"Okay." Tailor Jiang nodded and said to his wife, "Old woman, go to the back room and take out the little girl's clothes." ”

Aunt Jiang put down the half-knitted sweater in her hand and entered the back room.

Ming Nuan picked up Aunt Jiang's sweater, "Huh?"

Guan Xia and Mingxi were also attracted over, "Grandma's weaving is so beautiful." ”

"yes, I've never seen this pattern before." Guan Xia also said in surprise.

Knitting sweaters is now a must-have skill for every woman, but everyone usually uses a flat needle, at most to change the color, or weave a twist pattern.

Aunt Jiang came out with her clothes in her arms, and saw everyone looking around the sweater she knitted, "This is called osmanthus needle." ”

"Aunt Jiang, you are so skillful." Ming Nuan sighed sincerely.

"Alas~ people are old, not as young as they are."
