Chapter 29: Marriage I
Entering the mall, Gao Jialin tightened Liu Qiaozhen's hand, which made Liu Qiaozhen a little shy, caught off guard, and lowered her head for a long time.
It's not that Gogarin has forgotten the customs of this era, but there are too many people in the mall, and if the two of them don't pull tightly, they may be squeezed out.
Liu Qiaozhen pulled a two-meter-square red flower cloth, bought some cotton, and prepared to go home and sew the quilt by herself. Gogarin chose sheets and pillowcases. Don't think about the pillow core, put some buckwheat husk filling, fluffy and soft.
Finally, the mattress cover on the outermost layer must be a festive red and purple color.
After careful picking, the purchase amount soared directly to 50 yuan.
Seeing Gao Jialin picking up so many things in one go, Liu Qiaozhen felt a little distressed about the money, and pulled his arm: "What are you doing when you buy so much?" I'll sew all of these myself! ”
Gogarin felt that these were just basics. In fact, there are many things he wants to buy, such as radios, sewing machines, televisions, washing machines and modular furniture.
But now I am just living temporarily in the small courtyard of the county seat, and I will soon move to YA City, and it is very inconvenient to buy this large number of things and move. In addition, the current price of these things is too expensive, and there is no need for it. It is better to use the money to improve your life first, eat and dress well, and improve your physical fitness.
The little couple took the things they bought, hung them on their bicycles, and rode quickly to the small courtyard of the county seat, which took a few minutes. It's still convenient to live in the county seat.
After all, the small courtyard is only rented, there is no need to renovate it for others, Gao Jialin just hired a carpenter, straightened the windows and doors, mended them, painted them, and pasted them with the big red word "happy", which is almost the same as new.
As soon as Liu Qiaozhen came back, she rushed into the east room, began to lay out the sheets and bedspreads she had just bought, then picked up the needle and thread, and quickly made the pillow. The only thing left is the big job of sewing quilts, but this is difficult for Liu Qiaozhen, she scissors are like the wind, shuttling back and forth, and Gao Jialin is dazzled.
Gogarin had nothing to do and fought in the courtyard for a while, which was actually the military body boxing he learned when he was in school. Boredom, he simply took out his desk again and began to write the second volume of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty".
September 15, the autumn sun is warm.
The river was rushing and flowing. But the autumn wind is bleak, and it has already blown people's hands and feet to start to chill.
Early in the morning, Gogarin picked up the broom and swept the yard, which really felt like a new look. It didn't take long for Liu Qiaozhen to ride into the hospital.
She rode more in the yard in the spring breeze, for fear that Liu Qiaozhen wouldn't see that she had changed her new clothes from head to toe today.
"It's beautiful!"
Liu Qiaozhen is as light as a swallow on the ground: "My mother bought me a wedding dress, specially worn over, today is not the day for us to take pictures and register!" ”
"I didn't say anything about my mother's craftsmanship. What's more, you are beautiful and look good in whatever you wear. ”
"Flim Flam!" Liu Qiaozhen's face was full of joy, and then she took out a pile of great unity from her pocket.
"What is this?"
"My father gave me the bride price money you gave a long time ago. I see that you need money for your marriage, so I will give it to you. ”
"That's not necessary, this money is not needed for the time being, you can keep it."
"Really?"
"It can't be fake."
Gogarin really had no shortage of money on hand. After the first volume of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" was sent to the magazine "Ancient Legends", the editor-in-chief was very excited to read it and immediately called.
Gogarin chatted with the editor-in-chief on the phone. After the other party learned that this would be a huge work of more than three million words, he was extremely excited. A literary writer of such a small name as Gogarin is willing to write martial arts novels, and he writes them so brilliantly. Naturally, the editor-in-chief does not want to miss it.
He plans to publish 20,000 words per issue first, and about the first volume of eight issues. If this book is popular, I am afraid that the number of words published in each issue will be increased. After all, this book has too many words, and if only 20,000 words are published in each issue, it will last for eight or nine years.
In this way, the editor-in-chief asked Gogarin to come up with a second volume within half a year, and the quality could not be reduced. So Gogarin also had to hurry up with the draft.
Of course, with so many requests, the treatment is also excellent. The editor-in-chief directly gave a high manuscript fee of 15 yuan per 1,000 words. Volume 1 is 180,000 words, and the manuscript fee is 2,700 yuan, and it has been sent to Gogarin. Gogarin took 700 yuan for the wedding expenses, and saved 2,000 yuan into the fold. Now he is a rich man with a deposit of 5,000 yuan!
Gao Jialin put on a brand-new tunic suit, which was a wedding gift from his second uncle Gao Yuzhi, and put on shiny leather shoes. Standing with Liu Qiaozhen, anyone can see at a glance that this is a newlywed couple who are about to take wedding photos.
The two went out and came to the photo studio. can take wedding photos for a big celebrity like Gogarin, and the photo studio also invited the best master to help.
This photo studio already has color photos, of course, because it is more expensive, most people still choose black and white photos. Gao Jialin naturally chose to take color photos with Liu Qiaozhen, which is a memory to be passed on.
"Click", after the flash. Leaving the two grinning and smirking expressions. Gao Garin felt a little stupid, but the master of the photo studio felt that it was just right, there was no way, and there was still a difference in aesthetics.
Next, the two took the letter of introduction issued by the commune, as well as household registration and other supporting materials, went to the marriage registration office, and received two red and glamorous marriage certificates.
Gao Garin looked at the name on the marriage certificate and couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Gao Jialin is finally married to Liu Qiaozhen! The lifelong event that I didn't complete in my previous life, this life has finally been completed!
Next, the wedding preparations Gogarin could hardly intervene, it was all decided by the old people on both sides, and the days passed like this.
Gao's mother undertook the preparations for her son's marriage, from all kinds of purchases to sending invitations everywhere, and she was very busy. On the other hand, Liu's mother is also a help in the preparation.
Gao Yude and Liu Liben were just smoking, running around, and showing off everywhere. Nothing to do!
During this period, there was talk of everything outside.
The most widely circulated is that Liu Qiaozhen is married to a great writer, the nephew of the regional labor director, and a proper Gao Pan.
But there are also voices saying that Gao Yude's family is so poor that Gao Jialin married a cornucopia. Liu Liben has no son, and the family property will be Gao Jialin's in the future.
It is not wrong to say that Gao Yude's family is poor, and Gao Jialin does not mind. But there are still people who rumor him everywhere to join the Liu family, which is pure nonsense.
Daddy Gao Yude has a son of his own, can he let him get rich?
Fortunately, the two families have been working constantly, and they don't have time to worry about these things.
It's September 25 in the blink of an eye. The weather suddenly cooled down.
The temperature plummeted, and it was about to drop below freezing. Winter in the northern Shaanxi Plateau comes very early and goes very late. Half of the year is icy.
Liu Qiaozhen finally brought the quilt she had been tinkering with for more than ten days.
The young couple cleaned up the east wing of the hall and laid out all the bedding.
Two thick quilts, two thin quilts, and two mattresses. It's all made of new cotton, fluffy and warm.
The coat is covered with red and green, which is smooth to the touch and looks festive. plus a pair of mandarin duck pillows, which suddenly gave this marriage bed a soul.
"Do you like it?"
"I like it!"
With a cheerful shout, Liu Qiaozhen threw herself on the bed in a large shape.
Only then did Gao Garin notice that there were a lot of flowers embroidered on the red quilt, which was very beautiful. It's getting more festive! No wonder it's been tinkering for so many days.
"You lie down and try it too!"
Liu Qiaozhen excitedly invited, and when Gao Jialin slept next to her, one side of her face, and the exhaled breath sprayed into her ear, she realized that something was wrong, and her pretty face suddenly turned red to the base of her neck.
Gogarin was dumbfounded.
When he was in a hurry, Zhang Kenan's voice came from the gate: "Garin, are you there?" ”
It wasn't until the two of them ran out of the house with a weak heart that Zhang Kenan showed a lewd smile, and asked in hindsight: "Did I disturb the two of you?" ”
"No, no, don't think about it." Gogarin knew what this kid was thinking, and hurriedly told him to shut up.
Liu Qiaozhen is thin-skinned and has long been too ashamed to raise her head.
"Even if you bother, it doesn't matter, anyway, the day after tomorrow, the two of you get married, and there is time when no one botheres."
Zhang Kenan, this guy is unceremonious.
Gogarin laughed, and if this guy talks nonsense again, kick him.
"Alright, let's get down to business." Zhang Kenan handed over a small box, "Yaping and I gave you a wedding gift, and she asked someone to bring a Shanghai watch." What do you think? Our two old classmates are interesting enough! ”
Liu Qiaozhen even said no, no, it's too precious!
But he couldn't stop Gogarin from going next.
"Good fellow, be so generous! You two have bad intentions! ”
When Gao Jialin said this, Liu Qiaozhen was shocked.
Gao Jialin's words changed, "Soon after we get married, it will be your turn and Yaping." If you send a watch now, I will only be able to send a color TV in the future! ”
"Haha!" Zhang Kenan laughed, "Or Garin understands me, that's right, we're waiting for your color TV!" ”
Only then did Liu Qiaozhen hear that Gao Jialin was joking, this guy spoke several times, and let himself misunderstand.
On October 1, it is advisable to get married and engaged. This is also the celebration of the whole country, and it is naturally full of blessings.
The two families chose this day as the right day for their wedding, and it can be seen that they have put in real effort.
Before dawn, the rooster had just crowed. Liu Qiaozhen got up quickly, changed into a wedding dress, and began to dress up in the mirror. Today is the big day of her life. No one values it more than her.
When Liu's mother pushed the door in, Liu Qiaozhen's wedding clothes were all dressed, and more than half of her makeup was put on.
"Qiaozhen, why don't you eat some mats first? It's a toss for a day, and it's not necessarily when you will be able to eat. ”
"yes, Mom, why did I forget to eat breakfast?".
Mother Liu sighed lightly, this girl was so excited that she even forgot to eat. After all, it's the daughter who got married, and the water that was spilled.
Liu Qiaozhen hurried to the hall, sat down, touched the steamed bun, and took a sip of gruel.
