NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 133: necessary
Chapter 133 is necessary
"Your arms and legs are old, who dares to touch you? If you touch you, you will fall apart. Who will you rely on then? But to be honest, the boss of the Cui family is not a thing. When Cui Goudan was able to make money for the family, She was so good at pretending that she wished she could personally carry the foot-washing water! Now that she saw that Cui Goudan had nothing to gain, his reputation was extremely bad, and there was no prospect of a future, she kicked him out and gave him nothing. It’s a dirty and dark old quilt. I guess the compensation money from the leather shoe factory was stolen by the owner, right?”
"Who says it's not the case? Cui Chengjun and his wife usually love their youngest son, but last night they had a quarrel with others. Fortunately, they didn't show their faces today, otherwise they wouldn't be so arrogant."
“Look, Mr. and Mrs. Cui Goudan are in a state of poverty now, but they are very clever, so they don’t know what will happen in the future. The Cui family will be lively at that time!”
The An family brother and sister looked at each other. Anyway, they will return to Beijing soon. In recent years, they have been unable to touch each other. Out of sight, out of mind. They can't imitate these two people and risk their own futures just for the darkness in their hearts.
Isn’t it good to have sunshine in your heart? Wouldn't it be beautiful with a brighter smile?
As for the future, it can only be done by soldiers to cover up the water and the earth. The way of heaven is reincarnated and will never bypass anyone!
The next day, Aunt Hua came to the door early in the morning, followed by many villagers watching the fun.
The An family brothers and sisters also packed up neatly. They still carried the door-to-door gifts in a net bag and hung them on their bicycles. The contents inside refreshed everyone's understanding every time. The words of envy and hatred seemed to have wings and soon spread throughout the commune and even the town. Word spread.
"The brothers and sisters of the Ren'an family are really wealthy. They gave such a heavy gift for the first time. Do you know what to give for the second time? A Swiss watch! It's so beautiful that it can blind your eyes in the sun! This doesn't count cigarettes. Wine, sugar, tea, and a beautiful woolen coat for Fang Hongye!”
As soon as this word spread, many marriageable women could not sit still at home, and the sky turned dark. Taking advantage of the fact that the Fang family did not agree, they took their matchmakers and daughters and went directly to the An family to promote themselves.
But An's family didn't even open the door. Seeing people making a fuss, An Zhixia poured out a basin of cold water and said loudly: "I've really opened my eyes today. How many girls in your family can you marry?" I have to hold my brother. My brother is seeing Sister Hongye now, who doesn’t know? Didn’t you come here because we gave the Fang family a generous gift? Is this what people do? Yelling arrogantly outside the door, afraid that others won't come out to see it, and then accuse my family of having your reputation damaged?
I tell you, no way! Don't let your families become enemies if you are not married. As long as you are a member of the Five Flags Commune, then I can label you as a person with bad character. Not only will it have a negative impact on the income of the commune, it will also shake the determination of the members to work hard and distribute dividends. Not a penny to be gained! "
As soon as these words came out, there was no movement outside. They also knew that the chance of this happening was very small, unless An Zhiqing was a scumbag who would not refuse anyone who came. If the commotion continues like this, they will really lose their wife and lose their troops, so they can only leave in despair.
By the third day, not to mention the entire Hetang Village, even the surrounding villagers who had nothing to do came to join in the fun with their sleeves folded and their necks hunched early in the morning.
As soon as the An family brothers and sisters opened the door, it was like an emperor leaving the palace, and the crowd automatically dispersed into a passage.
"An Zhiqing, Director Xiao An, today is the third day, what good things have you prepared? If there are no accidents, the Fang family can handle this trip, and the next step will be a formal engagement. , What else are you preparing at that time? It can’t be anything less than a door-to-door ceremony, right?”
“Yeah, let us all open our eyes. Put it in the basket, we don’t know the Chinese characters and we don’t understand any of them. Yesterday I gave you a Swiss watch, what do I give you today?”
Everyone was booing, and some people even blocked the car and refused to let them go.
This is a happy event, and as long as it is not too excessive, the host family cannot fall out.
An Zhiqiu didn't care, and An Zhixia really wanted to make a face for her future sister-in-law, so she nodded with a smile and said, "You can see, but don't get started, otherwise the rolling pin in my hand will be disrespectful." , stretch out one paw to knock one, stretch out two paws to knock one pair!"
As she spoke, she lifted it up and waved it. The rustling sound made everyone nod in assurance.
"Here, there is a radio in this box." An Zhixia patted the contents of the cardboard box on the back seat of the car. "Our village will become more and more prosperous in the future. We must listen to the sounds of the outside world to gain insights and save ourselves for the future." It's okay to go out to play with a big pocket and be regarded as a bumpkin or a nouveau riche. If you are defrauded of your people and money, you will have no place to cry.
The radio is placed at Uncle Fang's house, and everyone can go and listen to it when they have nothing to do. However, our village has not yet received electricity, and we need to put in batteries before we can listen, so the money will be deducted from the dividends allocated by the commune to the village. Is it okay with you? "
Everyone nodded repeatedly, so curious that they couldn't move their eyes away. They used the sketch on the cardboard box to imagine the shape of the radio inside, and they felt so beautiful.
“Where are the people from our neighboring villages?” People from other villages asked anxiously.
An Zhixia rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Okay, our commune has made money for a year. We are thinking that after the scale is expanded next year, the profits will double and we will distribute dividends to everyone. Now it seems that the commune's decision is a little biased. Big money We still need to invest in the construction of our hometowns, but it is still necessary to equip every village with a radio.
When the time comes, put the speakers in front of you and work while listening to inspiring songs. After work, there are soothing ditties to relieve stress. After dinner, there are operas, storytelling, allegro, stories, cross talk, and new articles to kill time and learn about the outside world. Development, this is the main way to improve the quality of the people in our commune! "
“Okay, okay,” the guy clapped his hands excitedly.
“I discussed it with the president a year ago and tried to let everyone have a different New Year!”
The third time they came to the door, the Fang family did not face any further difficulties and came down directly. The old lady of the Fang family also held the almanac tremblingly, searching line by line for suitable days for getting married and getting a certificate, and finally chose the nearest date, which was the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month and the twelfth day of January 1973 in the Gregorian calendar.
There are only eight days left, and there are quite a lot of things that need to be prepared.
Coming out of Fang's house, An Zhixia first took her brother and Aunt Hua to ask for advice on matters that need to be paid attention to when getting married in Hetang Village, and wrote them down carefully. Even if the outside world promotes simplicity in everything, in rural areas we still need some forms to express some good wishes.
Even though there were three wedding gifts, An Zhixia still prepared a decent betrothal gift for her brother. According to the mid-range standards in Fujiang County, it was 399 yuan, plus a bicycle and a sewing machine.
