On the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, Xu Shide got married.

Early in the morning, the courtyard of the Xu family was particularly lively, with helpers and congratulations, coming in and out, in an endless stream.

From the Dongjiang River to Qingling Balidi, the road is not far.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the four horses stopped at the door of Xu's house to climb the plow, which had been borrowed from the brigade in advance.

The groom official Xu Shide, in the eldest uncle Zhou Anping, the eldest aunt Li, the younger brother Xu Shixiang, the cousin Zhou Wanxing, the younger sister Xu Shiqin, and the cousin Zhou Lirong.

As well as the matchmaker Jianjian Niang, Chunming Niang, and a few young men in the village, accompanied by a few young men in the village, they drove the horse and climbed the plow all the way to Qingling.

When the relatives went out, the Xu family hurried to open the noon banquet, and the congratulatory guests also came one after another.

Xue Xiulin and Wei Mingrong's mother's family also arrived at this time, and it was naturally a joy for the relatives to meet.

Even Zhou Changhe, who lives in Donggang, came with his son Zhou Qingguo, and brought a rich congratulatory gift.

"Second aunt, second aunt, congratulations."

Zhou Changhe saw Xu Chenghou and his wife, and came forward to congratulate him with a smile.

"Young, Changhe, how do you know about Xin'er?" The arrival of Zhou Chang and father and son made Zhou Guilan a little surprised.

You must know that the two families are not really related, they are just fellow villagers, and they are not too close to each other on weekdays.

When the eldest Xu Shixian got married, Zhou Changhe came, and when Zhou Changhe's father died, Xu Chenghou went to mourn.

Later, Xu Shi'an and Xu Shiyan got married, but they were not notified.

The main reason is that there are too many sons of the Xu family, and it is not good to notify them every time, and it is not easy for anyone to come back these years, how can they come back to catch up with the gift?

"Well, I heard someone say it the other day.

Second aunt, you are too outside, and these younger brothers in the family get married, and they don't send me a letter. ”

Zhou Changhe said with a smile as he motioned for his son to step forward.

"Second aunt, this is Qingguo, can you still recognize it?"

Zhou Qingguo stepped forward and saluted neatly, "Second aunt is good, second aunt is good, I am Qingguo." ”

"Hey young, is this Qingguo coming back from a job change?

Let the second aunt take a look, she is stronger than before she went to the army, look at this appearance, she does have the style of a man who protects the family and defends the country, good, good. ”

Zhou Guilan has seen Zhou Qingguo a few times, and she can still recognize it, and Zhou Guilan is also happy to see the younger generation so promising.

"By the way, do you have any work arrangements for coming back?"

"Second aunt, my work has been arranged, in Donggang Commune, militia company commander and public security assistant." Zhou Qingguo replied honestly.

"Okay, okay, good, let's go into the house."

Xu Chenghou and his wife were very happy, leading Zhou Chang and his father and son into the house, looking for a place to sit down and chat.

The Xu family has also made a lot of friends over the years, and there are many people who come to congratulate him, and they can't always accompany Zhou Chang to chat with his father and son.

Fortunately, Zhou Changhe and Zhou Anping are also familiar with each other, and everyone is quite lively when they get together to talk and laugh.

Zhou Qingguo is a young man, and he has nothing to talk to the older ones, so he goes outside to see where there is a job to help.

As a result, I happened to see Xu Shiyan holding the table under his left arm, and walking out with a few stools in his right hand.

"Third uncle, what are you doing here?" Zhou Qingguo hurriedly stepped forward, took the stool, and asked casually.

Xu Shiyan turned his head and saw Zhou Qingguo, "Hey, Qingguo is here?"

I moved a few tables to the neighbor's house in the West Courtyard, the house is small, and I can't set up a banquet, so I borrowed the place of Jin Hai's house in the West Courtyard for use. ”

The Xu family has a total of three rooms, even if the east and west houses are all north and south kang, they can't put too many tables.

So I discussed with my neighbor's house in advance and borrowed the neighbor's place to set up a banquet.

The person who went out to borrow tables and chairs just now didn't understand that there were fewer tables on the other side of Jin Hai's house, and more on this side. So I'm going to move the table and bench over there.

"Oh, that's the case, then I'll be with you."

Zhou Qingguo followed Xu Shiyan and walked to the neighbor's house in the west.

"By the way, Uncle San, the house you are looking for, my mother has found it for you."

Walking on the road, Zhou Qingguo suddenly remembered this and hurriedly talked to Xu Shiyan.

"Just east of the Martyrs' Tomb, on the edge of the woods, there are three adobe houses.

There is a large clearing next to it, a small hill behind it, and a large slope to the east. ”

"That family, it used to be an old couple with a daughter, but then the old couple was gone, and the girl married a young man from the countryside.

The relationship between the two is very good, and they have children.

Isn't this the resumption of the college entrance examination? The educated youth was admitted to the university in our provincial capital, and it happened that his family was in the provincial capital.

So people want to sell their houses and take their wives and children back to the provincial capital. ”

While the two were walking, Zhou Qingguo told Xu Shiyan about the situation of the house.

In his previous life, Xu Shiyan lived in Donggang for so many years, and he knew which house it was when he heard it.

When Xu Shiyan moved to Donggang in 87, he lived in the house in front of the martyr's tomb, not far away.

I've also heard others mention the matter of the house in the back.

It is said that the woman sold her house and returned to the provincial capital with the man full of joy, but she was disliked by her in-laws' family.

Fortunately, the man is not bad, he is very good to his daughter-in-law and children, and the woman is also competent, so she found a temporary job in the university cafeteria.

The two rented a house outside, and a few years later, the man graduated and went to work in the hospital, and the woman set up a stall to do a small business, and then life was quite good.

The house is indeed like what Zhou Qingguo said, the surrounding area is quite large, and several more houses can be built to the west.

"That's good, how much does his house cost?"

Although the place is large, it is not in the center of the town, close to the woods, it is already on the edge, and it is an adobe house, so it is estimated that the price will not be too high.

"The asking price is four hundred and five, and my mother said that if I talk about one piece, I can take it for about four hundred."

The price Zhou Qingguo said was about the same as Xu Shiyan's estimate, and Xu Shiyan nodded.

"Okay, you go back and tell my second sister-in-law and ask her to help me talk about it.

After a year, I went to make a trip, and if it worked, I decided directly. ”

For more than 400 yuan, I bought three rooms, and there was a lot of open space around, which was still very cost-effective.

The adobe houses were to be lived in for the time being, and then five large tiled houses were built on the west side, and after a few years, the adobe houses were rebuilt.

When the time comes, there will be eight big houses, spacious to live in, and how many goods houses can be left, how good is it?

In his previous life, Xu Shixian followed Xue Xiulin back to the city, settled in Donggang Commune, and then built a house in front of the martyr's tomb.

When Xu Shiyan moved in 87 years, Donggang had been changed into a town, with a large population, and the homestead was not easy to approve.

It happened that there was a vacant land to the west of Xu Shixian's house, and Xu Shiyan gave his brother some money to buy the land and build four houses.

It is precisely because of this incident that he left a message.

Xue Xiulin later said that it was his family's house that was occupied by Xu Shiyan.

also said that Xu Shiyan moved out of the big house because he was exposed to their family, and said that Xu Shiyan didn't know what to be grateful for.

This time, Xu Shiyan moved out first, bought a piece of land to build a house, and his household registration was not with his parents, so I don't believe they will have something to say in the future?
