Chapter Three June Fifteen 3
Ivanqiu's grandfather is called Yi Shicai. Where Yi Shicai appears, he always becomes the focus of the crowd. Not only is he old and strong, he is mainly because he speaks very well, so his children and grandchildren are also famous in the local area, which is considered a blessing from his ancestors.
Ivanqiu's father was also well-known locally. He served as a soldier in the 1950s. Although he did not participate in any large-scale wars, he also participated in some small-scale bandit sweep operations. After he was discharged from the army, he was then assigned to work in the army factory. He obtained a graduation certificate for workers' universities through self-study, and he was also considered an intellectual.
However, every time he mentions his four sons, he sighs a little.
The eldest son Ivanchun stopped studying in junior high school. At that time, Ivanchun saw that only his mother Zhao Lilian was with four children at home. Although his father was a little famous, most of the family expenses were on his mother. The slightly sensible Ivanchun made the request not to go to school and was beaten hard by his mother for a whole morning. At that time, the whole social atmosphere was hoped that his son would become successful.
Zhao Lilian herself has no knowledge and has never read any books. So she puts her hope on her most sensible eldest son, Iwanchun. She doesn't let him touch any heavy work, and Iwanchun also sees it in her eyes and feels it in her heart.
But this time he resolutely insisted on helping his mother share some family affairs. Until this incident reached his father Yi Jiasheng's ears, his father took leave and rushed home overnight. He attached great importance to his cultural aspects, but he did not often stay at home and naturally had a good relationship with his son. Every word he said was somewhat acceptable to these four sons.
When he returned home, he notified several of the more important elderly people in the entire family, including the teacher, to enlighten Yi Wanchun, and to go back and study hard. After the persuasion of several elderly people, Yi Wanchun had to agree in person, and the matter came to an end.
Now the fourth child is still studying in the family, and the second child has already got married and started a family. The third child in front of him has not yet got married. The family has always hoped that the third child can get married sooner. Although it is okay to have a family member to eat, it is okay to have a prosperous family at home. The third child needs to do now.
Ivanqiu found a clearing space. It was noon at this moment, and the blind date meeting was usually held at two o'clock. I heard that the village elder had invited people to see the time. A saying in the past was that it was optimistic that the meeting would be beneficial to the men and women who participated in the duet that day. This practice has continued to this day.
Ivanqiu found a place with relatively few people to find a stone to sit down. As soon as he sat down, he suddenly had a hand on his shoulder.
"Which girl is you like?" It was Yi Jiaxing who spoke. If you talk about her seniority, a young man of similar age, should really call him uncle, and they are playmates, so these etiquettes are also saved.
"I heard that Li Simeng came to participate for the first time this year, and I like her." Yi Wanqiu replied without hesitation, obviously he had already thought about it in his heart.
"Oh, Li Simeng is very virtuous." Yi Jiaxing looked at the crowd, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.
"Her mother is so kind, and her daughter will definitely not be too bad." Ivanqiu raised her eyebrows and looked at the crowd.
"That may not be true. She is a person who wants to take the high school entrance exam. How could she consider getting married so quickly? But she has been taking the exam for two years and has not been able to pass the exam. And I also heard that her parents have been looking for a partner for her, but she has been rejected. It is possible... it is possible that there is a partner?" Yi Jiaxing looked down at Iwanqiu who was sitting aside. He saw that there was no expression on his face. Yi Jiaxing pinched Iwanqiu's shoulder.
"Let's go to the venue."
The outside of the venue was full of people. Everyone who came to participate passed by an arch. A big red flower cut with red paper hung on the arch. A gust of wind blew the big red flower hanging on the arch swung back and forth, and below were people constantly drilling into the arch.
At the venue, five drummers in red dress were beating in an orderly manner. Next to the drummer were sitting a row of trumpet-blowing trumpet masters, who danced while beating the drum face.
They seemed to have a tacit understanding and turned around and hit and half-squat at the same time. Everything looked natural and synchronized. Around the venue, there were birds woven with bamboo strips, spreading their wings and soaring. When the wind blew past, the paper on the birds seemed to be coming alive.
On the ground, there was a fiery red dragon surrounding a phoenix. The big dragon opened its eyes wide at the phoenix and opened its mouth in anger. The phoenix stood with one leg and covered its face with wings. There was a huge red cloth in the center of the venue.
