Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 330: Wedding Night, Counting Gifts (Subscription Plus)
After the wedding banquet, the young people clamored to make trouble in the bridal chamber.

The bridal chamber pranks in those days were relatively simple. Fang Yan and Zhu Lin would just bite an apple and drink wedding wine together in the bedroom.

Then I'll put on a show for everyone.

Fang Yan and Zhu Lin sang a song together.

Li Jun, a boy from the compound who could play the harmonica, also joined in the accompaniment.

Finally, the girls who had learned dancing with Zhu Lin started dancing around them.

Fortunately, Fangyan’s bedroom is big, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to move around freely.

Every lively scene was recorded by Chen Huaikai with his camera.

Finally, I finished shooting until I had used up all the film for the day.

The bridal chamber prank only lasted for a little over an hour. Fangyan and his family had been busy all day and had just quickly eaten a couple of bites of food. They needed to rest.

The guests left one after another, and Fangyan and his friends saw them off one by one at the door.

Everyone who leaves will receive a portion of prepared red peanuts, red eggs, red dates, and a red Double Happiness towel.

From beginning to end, the wedding was of very high standard.

Chen Huaikai wanted to record this scene with his camera, but he ran out of film and was scratching his head in anxiety.

Then I saw Deng Min from the People's Medical Publishing House taking pictures, so I hurried over to discuss sharing the film.

Deng Min agreed to Director Chen's request, but she also wanted the photos developed by Director Chen's Hasselblad camera.

The two agreed to the exchange terms and began to record the scene in front of them with satisfaction.

After seeing off most of the people, only some relatives living in Fangyan's home were left.

Zhu Liangchun, Mr. Zhu, oh, now Fangyan should call him uncle, he lives in the front yard of Fangyan’s house.

And his senior brother Chen Youqing, who came to Beijing with him, also lives here.

There are also relatives from my mother's family, namely my eldest uncle and aunt, as well as my second uncle and aunt.

My uncle is a railway worker. He became disabled due to rescue work. Now he receives money every month. He had planned to study the medical books left by my grandfather, but unfortunately too many medical books had been lost and he could no longer understand them.

My second uncle is a high school teacher. He suffered a lot a few years ago and has not yet returned to work. His life is not very good. The family depends entirely on my second aunt who works in a food factory to support them.

As for my cousins ​​at home, none of them came this time.

The main reason is that their life is not that good to begin with, and they have to pay a gift when they come here.

What's more, they are not close to Fangyan, they just know that he has this cousin.

Only when my eldest and second uncles came over did they discover that my youngest sister's family was living much better than they had imagined.

This big courtyard, this grand wedding scene, and today's banquet.

All of these show that dialects have great potential.

And the wife he married was also extraordinary. The dowry was brought here by truck.

They were piled up in the main hall and in the study.

It was a stark contrast to when their son got married.

I didn’t interact with Fang Yan’s family before because they had suffered a disaster, and Fang Zhenhua was even directly exiled.

Now that Fang Zhenhua has returned, he has become a professor at the school, and He Huiru will become an associate chief physician at Union Medical College as soon as the National Day is over.

My son is awesome, and my daughter-in-law is awesome too.

It made them so envious.

He Huiru, Fangyan's mother, also wanted to let her elder and second brothers from her natal family see them, so she let them stay at her house for one night.

It's also an alternative way to feel proud.

Fangyan also has two aunts, but they both married and moved to other places and cannot come this time.

As for the old Fang family, the situation was even more tragic. The eldest uncle, the third uncle, the fourth uncle, and the youngest aunt all went to other places for various reasons. The only news was that they were all still alive. In comparison, the luckiest person in the old Fang family in the past few years was Fang Zhenhua.

At least his wife is still in Union Medical College and his family has not moved away from the capital.

The news of Fangyan's marriage was just a telegram sent out by my father. Before Fangyan got married, only my uncle and aunt replied to the message.

He said he was sending some local specialties to congratulate his nephew on his wedding.

……

That afternoon, Fangyan's family packed up some of the leftover dishes in the kitchen and gave them to nearby neighbors.

It is mainly people from Director Feng’s street office, as well as experts and professors in the Union Villa District.

There is a police station not far away.

This is a popular way these days so that leftovers don’t go to waste.

What's more, the dishes of Fangyan's family are all very delicious, and the food in the pot has never been touched.

The neighbors all gladly accepted the vegetables.

After delivering the leftovers, Fangyan’s family had another meal in the evening.

Then the couple returned to the bedroom and began to count the gifts everyone had given them today.

The father of the apprentice Anton Sofia, the Russian Bachukayev, directly sent a color TV to her.

Fangyan originally wanted to buy it herself after she had the baby, but he delivered it to her.

This thing is too valuable, I can't even show it to others.

If other people saw it, the contrast would be too stark and I would be embarrassed to give them gifts.

In addition, the gifts from my eldest sister and brother-in-law were also very special. They gave the largest bezoar to Fang Yan and Zhu Lin.

If it were sold now, it would be worth more than two thousand.

Fangyan originally wanted to refuse, but the eldest sister said that her brother-in-law’s work would depend entirely on Fangyan’s help in the future, so he had to accept it.

Fangyan had no choice but to accept it, but he had no intention of selling the bezoar.

If you keep it, maybe you can use it to make Chinese medicine or something.

The fourth brother Fang Chen didn't know where he got the money from, but he bought an antique record player for Fang Yan and the others.

Placed in the main hall.

Then came a large pile of red envelopes and bills sent by the Zhu family.

Since they came from far away, it was not appropriate for them to bring anything with them, so they prepared the most practical things.

Old Zhu gave Fangyan a set of nine ancient needles and a book of palace secret recipes that he used when he was studying medicine. Those were things that were passed down from Ma Huiqing, a family of imperial physicians in Menghe, when he was studying medicine in his early years.

The prescriptions in it all use extremely expensive medicines, but the effects are very powerful.

It doesn’t make much sense for daily use, after all, there are other cost-effective options, but the life-saving formula in it is effective.

It is also a very precious thing for dialects.

Then there was Le Miao, who gave Fang Yan an ancient painting. Fang Yan hasn't studied it yet, but looking at the densely packed seals on it, it should be worth a lot.

As for the others, they all gave some commemorative or practical items.

My brother-in-law and sister-in-law just returned to the city and didn’t have much in their hands, so these were relatively ordinary gifts.

Fang Yan and Zhu Lin finished the count at 11 o'clock in the evening.

Although the wedding was quite expensive, the gifts received were also quite generous.

In general, after the wedding, the amount of money in the couple's small treasury has increased several times, and their interpersonal relationships have expanded a lot.

PS: After finishing this chapter, I still owe you 11,000.
