Chapter 166: A Meal of Engagement Wine
Although Mao Yuzhen's words were rough, the reason was not rough.
But how could Han Chunlei not think about the stakes involved?
At the beginning of last year, the tea was tampered with, and I still remember it vividly.
In these years, people have done things, in the spirit of contract, far less important than forty years later, relying on integrity and word of mouth. So at this time, blood kinship is particularly valuable.
But, there is a point!
Once nepotism is employed, the consequences are also quite serious.
Han Chunlei fell silent.
Mao Yuzhen saw that she knew that it was reasonable, but it had no effect, so she had to move with emotion: "Chunlei, your little aunt is a very strong person, since she married your uncle, she has never asked our Mao family for a matter. It's really unprecedented to open this mouth today. I want to ...... in the first place."
Mao Yuzhen seemed to fall into the memory, and said slowly, "At the beginning, our Mao family was really poor, so after your aunt married in, your uncle and your grandparents separated from each other, although they both lived next door, but the two families lived by themselves." If they want to go to your grandfather's house next door for dinner, they have to pay rations. At that time, she and your brother-in-law were busy in the field late, and the two children had no food, so she would rather let the children go hungry than beg your grandmother. You say, she is such a stubborn person, and today she suddenly opened her mouth to ask me for your cousin's business. Can I still stand aside with my hands on my hips and not help her with this?"
When he was a child, Han Chunlei had no impression at all, let alone his grandparents, and he had no memories at all.
However, after starting a family, they were separated, which is very common in rural areas, and most of them are from poor families.
Especially during the famine in the past five years, it is not easy for your parents to pull you up and help you start a family.
To be honest, it's rare for my mother to play the emotional card with herself, and Han Chunlei is really hard to refute.
He suddenly hugged Mao Yuzhen's shoulders and asked with a smile: "Mom, I remember that you had a fight with your aunt back then, and our family had a falling out with your uncle's family over this matter, why are you still talking to her like this now?"
Mao Yuzhen slapped away her son's hand: "Can this be the same? One yard is one yard, after all, it is a family." Besides, what is the current living standard of our family? What is the level of their family? Your mother and I can still have this pattern?"
Han Chunlei smiled knowingly, or a knife-mouthed tofu heart.
"Okay, don't talk nonsense. Hurry up and get this done!"
Mao Yuzhen made the final decision.
Having said that, and this is also a good opportunity to mend the relationship between his mother and his mother's family, Han Chunlei no longer insisted, and agreed to his mother's proposal, and let his cousin Mao Shigui enter the Chunlei tea industry after the New Year to replace Han Chuntao's position.
As for Han Quanyou, according to Han Zhanshui's intentions, he took his place.
After Han Quanyou and Mao Shigui came in, he planned to stay in Han Zhanshui for another two months, let him be the master again, and help bring the two newcomers on the road.
After the New Year, this matter can be handled.
The day after the two uncles left, the marriage between Han Chuntao and Wei Jianshe also officially began to enter the process, arranging the eight characters, counting the days, making a big decision, and ordering a banquet......
Preparation before marriage, a lot of big and small things.
Han Chunlei was going back to Shenzhen on the sixteenth day of the first month, and the two families wanted to get the engagement wine of Chun Tao and Jianshe before he left, so they discussed and decided that on the eighth day of the first month, the two families would have a meal together, which would be considered an engagement.
As for why he wanted to put the engagement wine before Han Chunlei left, the reason was very simple, because Han Chunlei was not only the backbone of the Han family now, but also affected the Wei family's business to a large extent.
If this engagement is not there, there is something missing.
The engagement wine is set at the man's house.
On the morning of the eighth day of the first lunar month, Han Chunlei's whole family set out, and his maternal uncle's side, because the uncle's legs and feet were inconvenient, the younger uncle was the representative and attended together.
Hulala, a large group of people, stepped on the green train to Shaoxing.
......
Nose Brigade.
Since cooperating with Chunlei Tea Industry, in the past seven months, the front brigade has also undergone earth-shaking changes.
Especially in the first month, on the beams and windowsills of every house, there are strips of meat with white flowers, and this day is obviously better.
The villagers of the Chetou Brigade know very well in their hearts that all these changes in the Chetou Brigade are inseparable from Wei Yunsuo's father and son leading them to grow tea and roast tea, and it is inseparable from Han Chunlei of Chaijiawu who bought their tea at a good price.
Therefore, when the villagers heard that their village party secretary was going to get engaged to the Han family in Chaijiawu, they were so happy.
The Wei and Han families have become in-laws, so won't they be a family in the future? Then the cooperation between the tea of their Chetou Brigade and Han Chunlei will only become more and more reliable in the future, so there is no need to worry that Han Chunlei will not accept their tea.
After tasting Han Chunlei's good price, they no longer want to go back to the days when the supply and marketing cooperatives purchased and sold tea at a low price.
When Wei Jianshe went to the station to pick up Han Chunlei's family and came to the village, the villagers of the front brigade spontaneously came to the village entrance early to greet them.
"Is anyone coming?"
"It's coming, it's coming. ”
"Which is the daughter-in-law who is going to pass through the door?"
"The girl in the middle!
"See, you're so handsome!"
......
By the time Han Chunlei and the others arrived at the entrance of the village, both sides of the road at the entrance of the village were already full of villagers from the front of the car.
The onlookers and the welcome of the villagers made Mao Yuzhen feel that she had a lot of face, and when she walked, her neck was subconsciously raised high, for fear that if she lowered her head, the crown would fall.
Han Chuntao is a big girl after all, and being watched and discussed like this, the deer in her heart is bumping, and she can't help but be a little shy. Fortunately, with Wei Jianjian by his side, he felt a lot more at ease.
In this way, Mao Yuzhen's family entered Wei Jianjian's house lively.
The Wei family is a good family in the Chetou Brigade, and the layout of their house is a fence yard with a few bungalows, and the houses obviously have traces of renovation.
At this time, there were already two tables of banquets in the courtyard, and the people sitting were all old relatives of the Wei family.
And the empty table in the hall is the main table, reserved for the Han family.
"Mother-in-law, looking forward to the stars and the moon, I can be regarded as looking forward to you. ”
Wei Yunsuo smiled at Mao Yuzhen enthusiastically: "Come in and sit, come in and sit." ”
"I'm looking forward to meeting you, too. Mother-in-law, mother-in-law!"
Mao Yuzhen was quite satisfied with the arrangement of the Wei family since she entered the village and enjoyed the VIP treatment, and naturally, she also smiled at Wei Yunsuo.
"Hahaha, Chunlei, don't stand in the yard, sit inside. Wei Yunsuo, father and son, welcomed everyone into the house.
After the Han family entered the hall, Han Chunlei also introduced his brother-in-law to Wei Yunsuo and his wife: "This is my brother-in-law, and I will accompany my sister today." ”
"Okay, good," Wei Yunsuo warmly shook Mao Bingrong's hand and said with a smile, "Since ancient times, my uncle is the biggest, come, my uncle will sit on the head!"
"It's not going to be okay. Mao Bingrong said politely.
Wei Yunsuo said with a smile: "What's the matter? This is our rule here, guests enter the countryside, and they have to follow the customs." ”
"Brother, if you want to sit down, you can sit down, my father-in-law said so. ”
Mao Yuzhen was very impressed by Wei Yunsuo's enthusiasm, and pushed Mao Bingrong to sit on the top.
Then, everyone took their seats, and soon the table began.
Wei Yunsuo likes to drink two cups on weekdays, which is very good for Mao Bingrong's appetite, and he has three or two cups, which makes Wei Yunsuo a brother and a brother, and praises his sister's family for a good marriage.
After eating a meal until two o'clock in the afternoon, Mao Bingrong was directly drunk and lay down, and Wei Jianshe and his cousin put him on the bed and fell asleep.
Taking advantage of the rest after dinner, Han Chunlei proposed to visit the newly built tea factory of the Chetou Brigade.
Party A's father is going to see the production base, and Wei Yunsuo is of course warmly welcomed.
Mao Yuzhen and Han Chuntao happened to have nothing to do, so they also went to visit.
The tea factory was built on the edge of the tea mountain, Wei Yunsuo said, here was originally a large abandoned cowshed, now by the brigade, the whole village contribution, built a bungalow.
A neat bungalow, not whitewashed, with eye-catching slogans painted with white paint on the brick walls.
"Whoever gets out of poverty is glorious, and whoever is poor is incompetent. ”
Han Chunfeng is in the second grade and knows a lot of words, so Lang Lang read out the slogan on the wall.
Then Wei Yunsuo led them into the tea factory.
Because it is still the Spring Festival holiday, there is no one in the factory at this time, and there is a row of bamboo baskets, bamboo baskets, and bamboo dustpans under the eaves.
"This is the tea farmer who picks the tea leaves. Wei Yunsuo pointed to the bamboo baskets, "According to the idea of our home construction, the tea picking of our tea factory should also form norms and standards, and keep as much as you want, so as to ensure the stability of tea quality." ”
"Yes! Han Chunlei nodded, very much agreed.
"This room in the east is specially fried tea in our tea factory. ”
Wei Yunsuo said as he opened the door to the east room with the key.
There are ten large iron pots for roasting tea in the room, and each one is wrapped in a circle of wood on the outside.
"Now, we have ten of the best skilled chefs in charge of roasting tea......"
Wei Yunsuo walked all the way and introduced all the way.
If the door of the room is locked, it will also be opened for Han Chunlei to see, without the slightest reservation.
"Mother-in-law, your Chun Tao is a capable girl who has seen the world. After she got married, I asked her to come over to the tea factory to take care of it. She is the daughter-in-law of the old Wei family, and she is her own person! She is in charge of affairs, and I can rest assured. Wei Yun locked.
When Han Chuntao heard this, her face flushed.
"Dad, Tao'er hasn't married yet. Wei Jianshe muttered, a little embarrassed in front of so many people.
Wei Yunsuo smiled and said, "I've drunk all this engagement wine, even if I don't get married, it's also the daughter-in-law of my old Wei family, can I still run away?"
Wei Yunsuo's words made the old relatives of the Wei family laugh, and Wei Jianshe and Han Chuntao were even more ashamed.
Mao Yuzhen nodded seriously and responded, "I think what my father-in-law said is reasonable." ”
At this time, Wei Yunsuo continued to lead the way and led everyone to continue to visit the tea factory.
Han Chunlei slowed down, came to Mao Yuzhen's side, poked her lightly with his arm, and said in a low voice: "How about it? My sister has found a good partner, right? Mother, can this in-law still enter your eyes?"
"Bastard, it's no big or small with the old lady!"
Mao Yuzhen knew that Han Chunlei was teasing her, and resolutely opposed Chuntao and Jianjian together.
She glared at Han Chunlei, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and said softly, "If it weren't for the old lady, I was so opposed at the beginning, and his old Wei family would be able to treat your sister as a baby pimple now? Besides, if they weren't still in charge of our family's business, would his old Wei family be so relieved and bold to hand over the affairs of the tea factory to you? ”
Han Chunlei: "......"
