Chapter 31: Marriage (II)
Bang.
Liu Qiaoling rushed in, also holding half a bowl of dry cut meat slices in her hand. It seems that he is here to bring food to the second sister.
As soon as she saw that Gao Jialin was also there, Liu Qiaoling pretended to be curious and urged: "Brother-in-law, why do you have lipstick?" β
Gogarin really got the trick to wipe it. provoked Liu Qiaoling to laugh loudly, and even Liu Qiaozhen was pretty and crimson.
"This girl!" Gogarin didn't have anything to do with this sharp-toothed little sister-in-law.
By the time the two running water seats were finished and the guests were sent away, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon. Gao Jialin and Liu Qiaozhen said goodbye to Gao Yude and his wife, got up and rushed to the small courtyard of the county seat, where there was still a bunch of things to be packed.
The two came to the small courtyard and opened the door, and now the situation is really different. Gao Shuangxing has already commanded people to put things to the brim, and he just needs to clean it up.
The two of them began to get busy, and this busyness reached seven or eight o'clock.
After dinner, Gao Jialin looked at Liu Qiaozhen, and there were some bad intentions.
In the dead of night, the cold outside the window is pressing, and the inside of the house is as warm as spring.
"Have you washed your feet and brushed your teeth?"
"Washed, brushed, don't believe you smell."
"But I'm ...... Afraid. β
"But our new bed has a bit of a problem, and it's not soft to lie down."
"Impossible, it's been padded several times!"
Liu Qiaozhen fell for the trick, and lay directly on the bed to feel whether it was really embarrassing.
The big bad wolf Gogarin pounced.
β¦β¦
The bell of the hall struck ten times.
The first test on the new bed was announced.
"Our bed is not bad, the experience is very good."
"Hmm."
"But I don't think the test is enough, and one or two times can't explain the problem."
"What can I do then?"
"Gotta go on with the stress test."
"Huh? Hate to death! β
β¦β¦
Outside the window, the cold winter is steep, and the room is full of spring.
The next day, the second day of October.
As soon as the rooster crowed twice in the distance, Liu Qiaozhen endured the slight discomfort and planned to get up in the dark.
Now that she is the daughter-in-law of the Gao family, she has to stand up. I can no longer hide under the protection of my parents, and just want to enjoy pure happiness. Those days will not last long.
Liu Qiaozhen's actions were discovered by Gao Jialin, who woke up, and pulled her back.
"Go to bed, why are you up so early!"
"I have to serve my in-laws."
"Hehe, let's live alone outside, we don't have to serve them!"
"Then I have to clean up the house, my mother said I can't be lazy."
"Now what your mother said is useless, you have to listen to me for everything, come and sleep!"
This time I slept until the third pole of the sun. Gao Jialin and Liu Qiaozhen rubbed their eyes and got up.
The two of them packed up and padded their stomachs. Riding back to Gaojia Village, according to etiquette, the new daughter-in-law has to cook for her in-laws. Liu Qiaozhen also had to go back to help out, which was the right time.
The two rushed back to Gao Yude's cave, and Gao's mother had almost cooked the rice. Liu Qiaozhen kicked Gao Jialin, "It's all your fault, it's embarrassing for me!" Hurriedly entered the kitchen and helped Gao's mother.
Gao Jialin smiled cheekily and greeted his father, Gao Yude.
Gao Yude wanted to say a few words to him, but he still swallowed the words to his mouth, "Alas, you kid, you can't say it!" β
Today, Liu Li's family is going to welcome his daughter back to the door with her uncle.
After a family of four had breakfast together, Gao's mother then took out the things that had been prepared, two cigarettes, two bottles of wine, two bottles of malt cream, honey, and white candy, a net full of nets, which was really a lot.
Liu Qiaozhen took it in her hand and couldn't help hesitating: "Mom, this is too much, right?" β
"Not much, not much." Gao's mother shook her head again and again, and said with a smile: "With such a rich dowry from our in-laws, we can't help but be interested, at least we can get by." β
In terms of personal contacts, Gao Yude and his wife have always been thoughtful.
"Daughter-in-law, listen to Mom." Gogarin was the final word.
Living is not done by saving, but by earning.
Seeing that the time was about the same, the little couple carried their things and walked towards Liu Li's house.
The girl who got married returned to the door on the first day, and the new aunt was the biggest. Gogarin was also treated with the best courtesy. With Liu Qiaozhen, the daughter-in-law who protects the calf, the accompanying guests invited by the Liu family did not dare to pour more wine from Gao Jialin. This is a great writer, I heard that drinking hurts your brain, and if you hurt someone's brain, you can't afford to pay for it.
Satiated.
Mother Liu pulled her daughter into the room and asked quietly, "Is he okay with you?" β
"Mom, it's okay."
"Now your father and they are full of praise for him. Don't get used to him, let him ride on your head. β
"Mom, what do you say, the two of us are fine."
Mother Liu didn't say more. The young couple is now mixing oil in honey, and she knows that it is useless for her to say anything now. This daughter is too naΓ―ve, she is really afraid that Gao Garin will bully her.
The midday sun had just left, and there was a chill in the air.
The little couple went back to their own home. Surprisingly, there are more gifts brought back than there are gifts brought over. It made Gogarin himself embarrassed.
The little couple came home.
The next day, it was set up in the small courtyard, and Zhang Kenan, Huang Yaping and other friends and classmates in the county opened two tables of noodles to eat.
Zhang Kenan asked the canteen master to make the meal, and brought it over to heat it up here. Gao Jialin and Liu Qiaozhen are not able to do this kind of big banquet.
After eating this meal, the marriage is completely over.
Everyone greeted the little two, and Gao Jialin pulled his daughter-in-law and toasted a round of wine. The kind that really drinks!
For Zhang Kenan, he is really grateful, this kid is really a loyal and honest good friend. Huang Yaping has also seen it now, and her relationship with Zhang Kenan has warmed up, and she is talking about marriage. Both parents have met and are now discussing the date of the marriage.
At four o'clock, everyone was full of food and drink, and went back to their homes, leaving behind a large pile of leftovers.
In this age of thrift, these leftovers will definitely be the food for the next few days. Gogarin was a little helpless, so he could only think of it himself. Steamed at high temperature, everything is clean.
It's all over at last.
Liu Qiaozhen pulled Gao Jialin to the room, and without waiting for Gao Jialin to move, he took out an account book and began to check the expenses and gift money of the past two days.
This made Gogarin suddenly bored. It's a good time, what an account!
This year, the gift money is not heavy, most of them are three or five yuan. plus two rounds of running water in a row, so in the end, it still loses money. Fortunately, there are not many losses, and there is no big problem.
The 5,000 yuan in Gogarin's passbook did not move at all, and the two of them still had more than 700 yuan in their hands. It's very rich.
Half a month after marriage, Gao Jialin mainly focused on the outline of the last six books of "Harry Potter", and now that the marriage is also married, there is no reason not to go to Shanghai "Juvenile Literature and Art" magazine, but the editor-in-chief Qian is looking forward to it.
Gao Jialin and Liu Qiaozhen made a special trip to the city, on the one hand, to visit the family of their second uncle Gao Yuzhi on behalf of their parents, and on the other hand, to be interviewed by reporters in the city, and by the way, they met with the editor-in-chief of YA Daily, who was a member of the Municipal Writers Association.
According to the editor-in-chief, Gogarin's application for entry went fairly smoothly and should be approved by the end of November. Gogarin was naturally overjoyed.
The most important reason why Gogarin came to the city was to find some books about Britain, to borrow what should be borrowed, to buy what should be bought, and this thing should not be sloppy. Do your homework and prepare for the upcoming editor-in-chief exam.
This kind of trembling mentality, if the editor-in-chief Qian, who is thousands of miles away, knows, I don't know what his mentality is.
Gao Jialin rubbed for another half a month, and felt that he was almost done, so he called the editor-in-chief of "Juvenile Literature and Art", saying that his wedding had been completed, and the outline had been almost conceived, and he could go to Shanghai for exchanges.
Editor-in-chief Qian is naturally very happy, and for such a trivial matter as adding Liu Qiaozhen to the invitation letter, he naturally handled it as he wished.
Liu Qiaozhen heard that Gao Jialin was going to Shanghai for exchange again, and the newlywed Yier was naturally a little reluctant. But when she heard that she could go with her, she was overjoyed, and although she didn't know anything about honeymooning, she was extremely happy to be able to travel with Gogarin.
Going out is a hassle in these days. Gao Jialin and Liu Qiaozhen waited for the invitation letter from "Juvenile Literature and Art", and waited for three or four days before Shanshan sent it. This is already an urgent item, and it is not unusual for ordinary letters to float on the road for a month.
Gao Jialin and Liu Qiaozhen opened the letter and looked at it, and the words "Invite Gao Jialin writer and his wife to go" came into view. With the word "couple", Liu Qiaozhen can issue a letter of introduction and travel smoothly. Otherwise, it is inconvenient to eat, live and travel.
In this era, for tourists who do not have a letter of introduction, regular guest houses are not accepted, and it is useless to have money.
The two took the invitation letter and went to the village to open a letter of introduction, both of which were available, and they could go out. Of course, the big red book is also indispensable, and without a marriage certificate, you can't live together.
Liu Qiaozhen was proud when she opened the letter of introduction, and when she saw people, she showed off to others that she was going to travel to Shanghai, and when she saw the envious and jealous eyes of the little sisters in the past, her heart was sweeter than honey.
Human happiness is always based on the unhappiness of others.
In this era, as a peasant in northern Shaanxi, being able to go to Shanghai once is similar to the petty bourgeois youth going to Antarctica in later generations, which is something worth writing about. Liu Qiaozhen's showing off is also a matter of course.
Gao Jialin didn't think it was a matter of pride to be able to go to Shanghai, but he was poor and rich, and he also made sufficient preparations to go out in advance. For example, common medicines such as cold medicine, diarrhea medicine, and motion sickness medicine are all prepared. All kinds of documents should also be packed.
In order to prevent theft, Gogarin also sewed a pocket on his underwear and hid hundreds of dollars in it. This kind of thing used to be very popular in the 90s, you see, those who went to the toilet before buying big things in the mall to pay, they all went to the bathroom and took out the money sewn in their underwear.
Gao Jialin also told Liu Qiaozhen about this little trick, and if the other party got a treasure, he not only did it himself, but also secretly told Liu Liben and his wife. Liu Liben also often goes out to do business, and he is afraid of losing money when he runs around, but after hearing this idea, he immediately adopted it, and secretly admired his son-in-law for being well-informed, not an ordinary person!
