Era: 1979 From mountain man to richest man

Chapter 175 The second brother got married and sat at the same table with Song Li

Recently, Song Chaoyang's family has been basically busy with the marriage of his second brother Song Chaodong.

Getting married in this era is much simpler than in later generations.

Take the letter of introduction to the commune to get a marriage certificate, then go to a photo studio to take a group photo, and then go back home to treat relatives and friends to a meal.

The wedding is considered complete.

In rural areas, there will be more rituals with hometown customs. Here in Qingsong Bay, families with a stronger family will eat from morning to night.

Invite relatives and friends to eat three meals a day.

When life gets better later, a three-day banquet will be held.

It's more lively than in the city.

The Song family and the Qin family are now both well-known families in Qingsong Bay. After discussion, the two families plan to follow the highest standards this time.

One autumn rain and another cold, the temperature dropped quickly.

I borrowed the bullock cart from the brigade for a trip, but got stuck in a mud pit halfway along the way.

When the Song family built their new house, they had already made it wider. The current room is enough to accommodate people, and it will still be spacious even if there are children in the family in the future.

He continued to stay at the construction site.

It’s just that the weather has been unfavorable recently and it has been raining since the Hungry Ghost Festival.

When we arrived at the Song family, we washed our feet in a pond not far from their home.

There was no choice but to let the eldest sister Song Xue come back alone.

In this way, the young couple's small family will also have start-up funds, so that they will not be stretched thin.

It takes a whole day.

The air humidity in the mountains is also quite high, and it feels like fog all day long.

At this time, those who could come to the Song family to have a meal were those who left their jobs in the production team and came here.

But every one of them is covered in mud.

The second brother Song Chaodong wanted to go shopping in the commune, but he couldn't ride his bicycle at all.

This is the effect of rainwater soaking the soil.

As for the gift money received, according to the discussion between the two families, it was not much in the first place, so they did not divide it and gave all the money directly to Song Chaodong and Qin Rou.

All the people in the production team are busy collecting grain.

The wedding reception will begin tomorrow.

Fortunately, the front and back of Song Chaoyang's house were leveled with cement, which made it feel much cooler.

Most people come here barefoot.

The Qin family and the Song family will bear the cost of hosting the banquet.

It's white dew time, the weather is gradually getting cooler, and the cold air causes condensation.

He said that he would make up for it for the second brother later and treat them to a meal alone.

Even the tractors on the brigade were skidding wildly on the road, leaving shell craters on the tractor path.

Relatives of the Song family came over one after another.

Song Chaoyang took a tractor to the county town and picked up the little girl back to the village on weekends.

In addition, because of the last tiger incident in Yangjiagou, Yangjiagou and the others were talking nonsense about robbing other brigade's fields of grain. At this time, everyone did not care about Gangqing and hurriedly started harvesting.

The Wangjiahe Dam construction site has now started. The eldest brother-in-law originally wanted to come back with his eldest sister, but he really couldn't leave.

After the rain stops, people organized by production teams can still be seen in the fields, holding sickles and busy harvesting crops.

Along the way on the muddy road, Song Chaoyang also felt the feeling of a tractor drifting.

There is no need to worry about where you will live after marriage.

Most of the other relatives of the Song family have arrived.

By the time Song Chaoyang and the others returned home, it had stopped raining.

The two families were so close to each other that they could return to their parents' home in a matter of minutes.

Besides, the Qin family is not a patriarchal family. Even if Qin Rou gets married, the boudoir will still be reserved for her.

The thing skidded and swung around on the road, making people's toes grip.

Invite relatives, friends and Murakami who are willing to come, and eat three meals a day.

You can live wherever you want after getting married.

The roads are also very muddy. If you go out and take two steps on the tractor path, you will be covered with mud on your pants legs.

The White Dew Festival is coming soon.

In addition, the uncle's pig farm in the county town has also reached a critical moment. Neither he nor his uncle can leave, so Song Chaoyang can only ask Song Chaoyang to come back with fifty yuan as a gift.

As the saying goes, "Seize the autumn to seize the autumn. If you don't seize it, you will lose it."

When he came back, Song Chaoyang saw that Yangjiagou was also collecting.

There was a lively scene everywhere.

That is to say, Song Chaoyang's family is currently busy with Song Chaodong's marriage and has not participated in the harvest work.

This year's crop growth is average due to drought, but the impact should not be too big.

As long as they are not robbed by Yangjiagou, every household can definitely get enough food.

Of course, they haven't confiscated all their own food yet, and they are unlikely to go to other villages' fields to rob them.

If we really want to rob him, there will probably be another armed fight.

In order to avoid this situation, the villages close to Yangjiagou arranged to harvest the fields close to their villages first.

So as not to start a fight when the time comes.

Yangjiagou's tyranny and madness always leave a deep impression on people.

There's nothing they can't do unless you think of it.

A passing dog barked twice, and they all chased out those who bite dogs.

It seems that most of the people in the whole village are violent maniacs with super male genes.

Their reputation has been very bad in recent years. Many girls from all over the country do not want to marry here. Therefore, most of the young men in Yangjiagou marry people from their own village.

As time goes by, the generation of people born after them also become naive and evil.

Let Yangjiagou's reputation become even worse than before.

……

When he returned home, Song Chaoyang saw that most of the family members were busy with tomorrow's banquet.

Since the banquet will start early in the morning, we will start preparing the ingredients this afternoon.

This time the person in charge is still Song Chaoyang.

It's just that it's a bit too much to ask him to eat three meals in a row, so he only eats the most important meals at noon and evening.

Someone else is responsible for the first meal in the morning.

To be precise, I am responsible for the morning meal.

After all, for breakfast, even though it was a banquet, no one had much appetite.

Do it casually and no one will care.

The main banquets are at noon and evening.

It's just right to let Song Chaoyang do it at this time.

The recipes for the banquet are all based on the ingredients. You can cook whatever you want, and there are no rules about what to do. There isn't much to eat these days, so there aren't as many rules as in later generations.

When I saw Song Chaoyang coming back with the little girl, I immediately dropped my daughter and walked up alive after not seeing her for a week.

He took the little girl and asked.

The little girl has been living alone in the city for these seven days.

For a little girl who has never lived alone, I am very worried about how her life is going.

That is simply more concern than the second brother who is about to have a wedding.

"How is your life? Are you keeping up with your studies? How are you getting along with your classmates?"

"Has anyone bullied you? Do you have enough money? Did you sleep well? Is it convenient to cook and buy food?"

As soon as they met, I started asking a series of questions. The little girl Song Yu first glanced at the third brother Song Chaoyang and then said to my mother:

"Everything is fine, no problem, life is good." "I eat well, sleep well, my classmates are good, and no one bullies me!"

On the way back, the little girl told her third brother everything she had encountered while studying in the county town.

She is quite accustomed to life. In addition to cooking for herself, Luo Qian and the daughter of Lao Jin's family often bring her food.

There was a classmate in the class who made trouble for her, and was punished by the head teacher Huang Meiling.

Then this female classmate was beaten again by Lao Jin's daughter and others outside the school.

Then the two of them became friends.

Although he didn't dare to bully her on weekdays, this person still liked to make trouble and make other students isolate Song Yu.

This female classmate comes from a working-class family, and both her parents work in a factory.

It is said that my father is still a small cadre.

Knowing that Song Yu came from the countryside, and seeing that she was better dressed than him, I felt unbalanced and wanted to cause trouble, but ended up hitting the wall the first time.

Unexpectedly, Song Yu was actually helped by her head teacher, and not only that, but also by senior girls.

In this way, she obviously couldn't do it, so she started to make small tricks secretly.

This was something I never experienced when I was in commune school.

Fortunately, Song Chaoyang had done some psychological construction for Song Yu before.

I told you that after you go to junior high school, people in the city are different from those in the commune.

There is a high probability that you will encounter bullying.

Reasoning is useless at this time.

Rather than being bullied by others, it is better to strike first.

Let this person also experience the experience.

If you want to do this kind of thing in the first year of junior high school, don't be afraid that I will do it in the fifteenth year.

Courtesy reciprocates, that's it.

But the little girl obviously can't do what Song Chaoyang said.

When Huang Meiling and Lao Jin's daughter did not dare to deal with this guy, she did not continue to expand the conflict.

Although she knew that this man was behind the scenes, but it had no effect on her, the little girl still did not choose to continue chasing him.

After knowing her choice, Song Chaoyang told the little girl, just click until the other person is frightened by you.

She is still continuing to make small moves, but she hasn't done enough yet.

The person she is afraid of is someone else, not you.

A person has to be strong outside. A good person will be bullied by others, and a good horse will be ridden by others.

When you encounter this kind of beast, you have to hurt her and beat her to scare her.

Sometimes taking a step back will not lead to a brighter future, but will only leave people with illusions.

Kindness must also be used in the right place.

The little girl thought about it when she came back after hearing Song Chaoyang's words. Although she still didn't quite understand, she knew that the third brother would definitely not harm her.

In the past, my father and mother taught her not to cause trouble and not to be afraid of trouble, but they never said such things to Song Chaoyang, and also said that she would let go and he would handle it if anything happened.

Song Chaoyang's words undoubtedly gave the little girl confidence.

A kind of confidence that my parents never gave me.

But so that her parents wouldn't worry, after she came back, she would tell her good news but not her bad news.

After hearing what the little girl said everything went well, I was immediately happy.

He also said to Song Chaoyang, look, the county is actually similar to a commune, and it is not as evil as the small society he said.

Song Chaoyang could only smile at this.

Being able to solve the problem, he didn't want to waste time explaining it to his mother.

There was no use telling her.

On the contrary, it made her worry or feel that she was doing something wrong.

After finding the second brother who was working, Song Chaoyang gave the fifty yuan gift to his uncle to the second brother.

Fifty is a lot in this day and age.

When most people give gifts at this time, they only cost a few cents, or only a few yuan more.

For example, the second uncle gave 50 cents as a gift, and he and the second aunt came without mentioning anything.

But they are all relatives, and the Song family doesn't care about them.

Just have some idea.

It’s just that those who give gifts to a lot of people need to give different gifts in return, otherwise the difference won’t be reflected.

The second brother also prepared a lot of wild goods during this time, all of which are used as gifts in return.

The more precious thing is that there was a lot of Gastrodia elata left at home. After Song Chaoyang sold it out for the last time, there was still a lot left on the mountain. He made more money writing books and was too lazy to dig up the mountain.

After telling the second brother the address, the second brother went to dig a lot and came back.

After I came back and sliced ​​Gastrodia elata, I made Honey Gastrodia elata directly from the wild honey in the mountains.

This kind of thing can be used to treat headaches and can be eaten directly after taking it out.

Much easier to use than dried Gastrodia elata.

The second brother brewed several cans and kept a lot for his family. He also gave a few cans to his father-in-law, Qin Wanshan, and later sold some of them. Now he plans to take the rest to his uncle to thank him for giving such a big portion. present.

The next day soon came.

At 3:30 in the morning, many people in the Song family woke up.

The first banquet will start after six o'clock this morning, so I have to get up at this time to work.

By the time Song Chaoyang was woken up at six o'clock in the morning, guests had already begun to arrive in the Song family's yard.

At this time, it was still dark, and the banquet had been set up. People came one after another to eat, including people from the Song family and Qin family. Song Shouyi and Qin Wanshan were waiting at the door to receive them.

Most of the people who came to collect gifts came with their families. They gave a few cents and a bag of candy or a few kilograms of noodles, and the whole family came to eat them.

People who come at this time are relatively close.

There are also people who are farther away and have to wait until noon to come.

Song Chaodong and Qin Rou were in the courtyard wearing new clothes and invited everyone to take a seat.

Greet everyone you know and don't know warmly.

Song Chaoyang washed his face with cold water. After waking up, he was already called to help hang up the firecrackers.

When I went out, I found that at some point, my grandparents, my uncle, my third uncle and his new wife were also invited over.

I guess it was my father and mother's idea. After all, it was the second brother's wedding, so people from the Song family had to be invited over.

They were arranged to sit at the table next to their grandparents.

It can be regarded as the elder's high position facing the door of the main room.

This is how it is in the countryside. Even though he has fallen out, he still pretends to be nice in front of others. Song Chaoyang doesn't know how to comment.

By about 6:40, the sun shines into the valley from the east.

When the first ray of morning glow fell in the yard, there was a burst of crackling firecrackers outside the Song family's house.

This time is not considered the main banquet, and the setting off of firecrackers is just considered the official banquet.

Dad and Qin Wanshan briefly said a few words of thanks in the courtyard, and then invited everyone to take their seats.

Song Chaoyang and the others were placed at the young people's table.

The little girl, Cao Wei, Qin Tie, Ye Qingshan, Song Lan, Song Zhu, Xu Song, the son of her third uncle's family, and even Song Li and her new partner Zuo Qiang were all there.

Song Li held her head high, looking quite proud.

As soon as it was served, no one spoke yet.

Zuo Qiang, who came with Song Li, held the wine glass in both hands and introduced himself to the people present:

"Hello everyone, my name is Zuo Qiang, and I am Song Li's fiancé."

As soon as she finished saying this, Song Li said proudly:

"We are getting married in a few days, and we will go to the city then."

After speaking, he also raised his glass:
"This is the last official meeting for everyone. I propose a toast to everyone, and the past grudges have been wiped out."
