Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 475
(The date of the previous chapter was wrong and has been significantly revised. If it seems incoherent, please scroll up.)
Han Li was not surprised at all after hearing this. Everyone has their own small circle. They may not know who they heard the news from, but they probably had incomplete information. If they knew that they already had a partner and were engaged, they probably wouldn't. So many people are looking for it.

And don’t think that girls in this era are not materialistic, vain, or ambitious. It would be a bit ridiculous for anyone to think so.

Materialism, love of vanity, and comparison are almost engraved in the bones of human nature, and they will not change much no matter what era it is.

Otherwise, where did the jingle come from that the first army, second cadre, and third worker will never marry a farmer? Moreover, this jingle is almost the standard for choosing a spouse for most women in this era. If this is called not materialistic and not fond of vanity, , It would be really ridiculous not to climb the high branches.

They were only limited by the information of the times, as well as the current environment, communications, the inability to circulate people, the ratio of men to women, and other reasons, which resulted in that each of them had only a limited number of targets and people to choose from.

The reason why you don’t want a house is because the current houses cannot be bought or sold. All houses are allocated by the state, work units, and factories.

If you don't want three golds, it's because no one dares to wear three golds now, unless you want to be dragged out to the street to enjoy rotten vegetables and leaves.

The reason for not wanting a car is because there are no cars at all now, otherwise Han Li riding a three-span car would not have caused a sensation.

But they will choose based on the existing ones, such as industry, job, pacesetter, etc.

If they have the same job and the same personality, but different family conditions and living environment, what do you think they will choose?

And before girls in this era get married, they can also ask for several pieces of bride price, three rings and one ring, and new clothes.

Of course, it cannot be said that there are no immaterial girls. There are such people in every era, but whether they are in this era or in future generations, they are all phoenix-like existences. You must cherish them when you meet them.

There is also the kind of thing that later generations will say: Grandpa married grandma with only half a bucket of rice, dad married mom with half a pig, but my marriage cost my parents half their lives.

But have you ever considered that in Grandpa’s time, rice was expensive and not everyone could afford it? Moreover, taking out half a bucket of rice would definitely save the lives of a whole family, or perhaps this half a bucket of rice would be the life of their entire family. human life.

In my father's time, pork was expensive, and formal workers only had a few taels of meat stamps per month. What would it be like for the family to save half a pig?According to the standards of workers in [-] cities, heavy manual laborers only get [-] taels of meat stamps per month.

The country's current standard for purchasing pigs is no less than 120 kilograms. Half a pig is 75 kilograms. It would take [-] months for one person to save, which is nearly six and a half years.

During this period, the family cannot eat any meat during the New Year, holidays, or when they are sick, so that they can collect the gift of half a pig. Not counting other expenses, these things together can cost half the life of the family. ?

In later generations, houses became more expensive, cars were more expensive, and betrothal gifts became more expensive. Therefore, marriage has never been an easy thing from ancient times to the present, but the needs of each era are different.

Those marriage partners with good conditions, regardless of whether they are men or women, are scarce in any era. As long as you are not stupid, you will know how to choose.

However, the value of bride price in this era is still very high. Basically, there will be no takers, or some men can’t bear it and write dozens of pages of apps to expose their wives’ cheating.

A man like Han Li is handsome, an only son, and has a good family situation. He has been like this since he was in school, and it is still like this now.

Han Li's casual answers made Yu Daqiang ask again from the side.

"Then they are really going to organize it, will you go?"

"Go, why not go?"

"Didn't you hate this situation before? Did you change your nature after going to the countryside?"

"I didn't like to get together with my classmates before. It was because they were doing things all day long and had no peace of mind. If I was implicated, I would be wronged. Now everyone jumps in and goes to the countryside. What else can we do? Besides, we are all grown up, so we should participate in these social interactions to maintain the friendship between classmates."

"Then you're not afraid that they will stalk you then?"

"I'm already engaged, so it's useless for them to pester me. This time I just announced it to make some people who are still thinking about me give up."

"Okay, anyway, you can make up your mind. We will decide the date when the time comes."

After Han Li sent Yu Daqiang away, he returned to the house to read, practice calligraphy, and play chess with his two sisters. He lived a simple and unpretentious life.

But just as Yu Daqiang said, Han Xiaomei was found by several classmates today.

When she looked at these classmates, their skin and mental outlook were completely different from when they were in school. It was just a little better than when she was idle on the platform watching those people who came to Sijiu City from below. If this happened again, I'm afraid it will look exactly the same in two years, right?

Thinking about it, if her brother hadn't gone to the countryside for her, she wouldn't be much different from these classmates. Thinking of this, Xiaomei Han became even more grateful to her brother.

When Han Xiaomei was looking at these classmates, they were also looking at Han Xiaomei. Looking at her face that had not been exposed to any wind or sun, the feeling in their hearts was not to mention how uncomfortable it was, but the two sides soon came to terms with each other. They held each other's hands affectionately and started chatting.

"Jiahui, Yuhong, and Dajuan, I'm so happy to see you. When did you come back?"

"We have just arrived recently, but Chunying, you are so awesome. In the blink of an eye, you have become a worker of the Railway Bureau, and you still work in an office. You are really envious of us."

"That's right, that's right, Chunying, you are the best among our classmates. When I heard it for the first time, I thought I heard it wrong? I didn't expect it to be true." "Chunying's We are so lucky. When I went to the countryside, I had my brother to replace me. Now that we have such a good job, we can’t do anything anymore. We can only jump in and go to the countryside. But where is your brother Han Li? How is he now? "

Xiaomei Han knows all about the little thoughts of these classmates. It was like this when she was in school, and it is still like this now. If she had done this before, she would have directly helped her brother to block these bad ideas, but her time in the office was not in vain. Yes, he said with a smile facing these classmates.

"We are all the same. No matter what we do, we are serving the people. This is what my brother thinks and does. To be honest, my current job is from my brother. He said that he also served the people in the countryside. I wanted to work hard for the construction of the country, so I was given this job.”

"What? Your brother Han Li got this job?"

"Yes?"

"But how can Han Li get a job in Forty-Nine City when he goes to the countryside to jump in the queue?"

"Haha, my brother has such luck and ability."

"So how is your brother now? Does he really plan to stay in the country for the rest of his life?"

"My brother has already found a close friend there who will work hard and share the joys and sorrows with him for the rest of his life. If he comes back, they will come back together."

"What? Your brother actually found a partner?"

Next, Xiaomei Han talked nonsense with the group of classmates, which directly broke away their original little thoughts. She didn't mention the class reunion until they separated, but she didn't know what would happen next.

After Xiaomei Han came home from get off work, she immediately came to Han Li's room. She hugged someone's arm and talked about it.

After hearing this, Han Li didn't take it seriously as before, he said without caring at all.

"It wouldn't be bad if the class reunion is canceled for this reason. At least we can see clearly who they are. If we have a chance to get along with each other in the future, it will be acceptable. There is no need to include this classmate friendship in it."

The Yun sisters have often heard Miss Han talk about these things when they were in school, so they also didn't take it to heart, but Yun Jingjing said it in order to thank this sister-in-law.

"You're right, little sister. I'll buy you whatever you want to eat."

"Really, then I want to eat ice cream."

When Miss Han talked about ice cream, the Yun sisters were also greedy, and they all turned their attention to Han Li.

Seeing this, Han Li smiled and said: "It's not easy to eat ice cream. I will make the tools tomorrow and we can make ice cream at home. Then you can eat as much as you want, and you can eat whatever flavor you want."

"Brother, can you make ice cream?"

"Isn't it just an ice cream that's so difficult? I can make it if you want to eat popsicles or ice cream. Just wait and see tomorrow. Just be careful not to make yourself uncomfortable."

Xiaomei Han was overjoyed when she heard this. Although she went to work, she paid all her wages in. She just wanted her family to save more money to buy a good job for her brother, or to buy a few big things when she got married. If it weren't for Han After her mother received the money every month, she would force some money into her hand as an emergency, and she would jingle when she walked.

Thinking that she could eat enough ice cream, Xiaomei Han shouted out the cries she heard when she was a child.

"Ice cream, eh, it's really cool. Ice cream, eh, snowflake cheese. If you like it cold, just say it."

Xiaomei Han's shouting made the Yun sisters also shout the same shouts they had made when they were children, and for a while the room turned into a concentration camp of vendors walking around the streets.

"The buns are so hot, the buns are so hot, keep chewing them, this buns are so hot, and the dough buns are so hot.

"Hey, there's honey, there's so much gourd rock candy."

"Hey, the sour plum soup has the flavor of osmanthus, water from Yuquan Mountain, and ice from Dongzhimen. It makes your mouth cool when you drink it. You gave me a lot, so the soup is delicious."

"Selling leeks, pheasant necks covered with leeks."

"Grinding scissors, choking on kitchen knives."

"Whether you like it or not, mix more cold water with it."

"Tender toon with buds."

Han Li watched them playing together like children, with a smile on his face and he deliberately joined in the shouting, but he was really a little frustrated.
