90s Little Struggle

Now the wages of workers are getting higher every year.

The life of the big guys is getting better and better, food and clothing can be guaranteed, but most people are a little bit reluctant to eat good food.

People who have no long-term worries must have near-term worries. Always save some money for emergencies.

So much so that when there are weddings and funerals in the village, it is extremely lively.

Because it means that you can let go of your stomach and eat a big meal.

Moreover, Xiao Jianhua has also earned some money now, so he has already said that he will invite the whole village to eat the flowing water mat for lunch today.

Of course, he is not a fool, but the village is small, with only about fifty families.

There are also some young and middle-aged people who go out to work, and some work in factories, so there are only about 200 people in the village now.

Moreover, about half of them are children, and they don't need to go to the table to eat, they all eat standing beside adults.

Together with some relatives and friends, Xiao Jianhua prepared twelve tables for noon.

As a matter of fact, very few people would hold such a large-scale engagement nowadays, and it is almost enough to hold two tables.

Except for the table where the unmarried couple sits is the Eight Immortals table, the other eleven tables are large round tables borrowed from various families.

Now there are happy events in the village, all of them borrow dishes, chopsticks, tables and chairs from neighbors.

When Xiao Hong went out, she saw tables and chairs already set up in the yard. After taking a glance, she followed everyone out to watch the excitement.

Santanari in front, the one who came down was really an acquaintance.

Zhao Long, who is just over 1.6 meters tall, used to be considered pretty and pleasing to the eye.

But now I don't know if the family conditions are so good that people develop horizontally.

He was originally short, but now he is fat, which makes him look even more slender.

When he saw Xiao Jianhua and Liu Meijuan, he smiled and called out, "Mom and Dad, we are here."

When you are not smiling, you can still see the eyes.

When he laughed, his eyes couldn't see.

When Xiao Hong saw this scene, the turbid breath in his heart dissipated, and he felt refreshed immediately.

Could it be that the way of heaven favors reincarnation, the legendary saying that harming others is not enough to harm oneself?

If it wasn't inappropriate, she really wanted to look up and laugh.

Xiao Jianhua took a deep breath before forcing out a smile: "In-laws, in-laws, Aaron, you are here, please come inside."

A few years ago, the Zhao family also came to the village when they wanted to marry Xiao Hong for their son.

But not many people have seen them, and the three of them are all fatter than a few years ago, and they dress differently, so no one really remembers them.

Zhao's father is also wearing a light gray shirt, glasses, black suit pants, and leather shoes. He looks very refined and has the air of a cadre.

Mother Zhao was wearing a fuchsia short-sleeved cheongsam, her hair was permed into curly hair, she was holding a bright red leather bag in her hand, and she was wearing a large gold bracelet on her wrist.

As for Zhao Long, even in a red shirt and black suit pants, he looked even uglier.

It's not as good as his father looks more energetic and more pleasing to the eye.

Zhao Long's eldest sister and brother-in-law got out of the car behind.

In the van at the back were some relatives, and in the van at the end were all dowry gifts from the man.

The villagers were also very surprised. How could Xiao Jianhua and Liu Meijuan find such a family for Lou Fenfang?Now that I see the dowry, I feel that I am the truth.

There are color TVs in large cardboard boxes, as well as washing machines, refrigerators, and electric fans.

There are also baskets of wedding candies, boxes of cigarettes and liquor, all in pairs, which is really surprising.

Most people suspect that Xiao Jianhua is a stepfather, so he is not interested in the oily daughter brought by Liu Meijuan, and finds her a man who is rich but has no good looks.

This is really the live version of flowers stuck in cow dung all the time.

However, sympathy is all sympathy, and there is no one who dares to stand up and speak for Lou Fenfang.

After all, in everyone's mind, even if Xiao Jianhua was a bit too much, he was also surnamed Xiao, raised Lou Fenfang, and helped her go to college, so he couldn't be said to be vicious.

Xiao Jianhua was really suffering and couldn't tell, so he could only greet everyone's strange eyes and greet the Zhao family to go in.

According to their customs, today's engagement banquet is also for the new son-in-law to get to know the woman's family, relatives and friends.

Therefore, when everyone went in and sat down, Xiao Hong found that Lou Fenfang hadn't come down yet.

Xiao Jianhua looked at Liu Meijuan very dissatisfied: "Where is Fenfang, you go and call her down, don't be rude."

Liu Meijuan could only squeeze out a smile: "She must be shy, I'll call her."

Xiao Mengqiu couldn't help being curious. Seeing that the adults were drinking tea, eating melon seeds and peanuts and chatting, she also dragged Xiao Hong upstairs to listen to the corner.

Xiao Hong hesitated a little: "Would it be embarrassing if I got bumped into?"

Xiao Mengqiu is thick-skinned now: "Hey, if we really run into each other, can we just say that we are going to urge people to go downstairs?"

The mother and daughter were still in the house when they went upstairs.

Lou Fenfang's weeping voice came from inside: "...you are patriarchal, so you let me marry him."

"Okay," Liu Meijuan was not angry: "Who made you stupid, was calculated by others, who is to blame?"

Xiao Hong and Xiao Mengqiu looked at each other, thinking they heard Dagua, they continued to eavesdrop outside the door.

"That's your fault too. I offended someone surnamed Zhao before, so he would hold grudges and treat me like that..."

After speaking, he began to cry again.

Liu Meijuan was about to cry with anger: "Are you blaming me? I'm not thinking of your siblings? You still say this to poke my heart, you are heartless!"

Lou Fenfang's voice was sharp: "Then why did Xiao Hong marry in the provincial capital? How handsome is her husband? But I want to marry a dwarf."

Liu Meijuan also seemed to be angry: "Okay, if you don't want to marry, then don't marry. Anyway, you don't like what I say, so you go and tell the Zhao family yourself."

When she became strong, Lou Fenfang's tone softened: "Mom, I was wrong, I'm going down now."

After all, this is Liu Meijuan's biological daughter, and Liu Meijuan couldn't bear to let it go like this, and told her in a low voice: "Anyway, it's just an engagement now, you should be soft in front of them first, and when you get it..."

The following words became lower and lower, and Xiao Hong couldn't hear her. She gave Xiao Mengqiu a look, and the two left quietly.

Xiao Mengqiu speculated curiously: "It sounds like they want something from the Zhao family? Forget it, they are a nest of snakes and rats, and they are not very good people. Let them eat dogs?"

Xiao Hong was a little strange. According to the situation in her dream, the Zhao family didn't have any treasures that people could peep at?

What is there in the Zhao family that Lou Fenfang is so concerned about?
After they went down, they sat next to Xiao Fang and watched the two families with cold eyes.

Yan Hong also came over quickly, leaned close to Xiao Hong and complained in a low voice: "Is Lou Fenfang really born to your stepmother? How could you choose such a family for her?"

I didn't know what Xiao Jianhua was thinking, so I took him with me and introduced his identity to everyone I met, saying that he was from the provincial capital, or a police officer, and his parents were also workers.
