Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li went to the department store and bought towels, toothpaste, shampoo and other toiletries, wash basins, kettles and other daily necessities.
I was torn between buying a sewing machine and a radio for a long time. After some discussion, I chose to buy a sewing machine. I spent 25 industrial coupons and 140 yuan to buy a (standard brand) small 44 household sewing machine produced by the Shanghai Sewing Machine Factory. This machine
The sewing machine is equipped with a sleeping bucket. The sleeping bucket can put the sewing machine head into the box. This kind of box where the sewing machine is placed is called (lying bucket). When not in use, you can put the sewing machine head into the sleeping bucket.
The lid of the box is flat, which makes it clean and can be used to store things.
Although Yan Jiecheng still has the money given by the system, the situation of the Yan family is understandable for Yan Jiecheng to buy one big item. If he buys two items, he will cause no idea how much trouble he will cause. His wife and children will soon be in trouble. Wait for a while.
There is no rush to buy other big items.
At the entrance of the department store, I asked a trolley to help pull the sewing machine back. When I returned to the courtyard, there was a lot of excitement. Everyone came over to congratulate and watch. The third uncle and the third aunt were also very happy. The third uncle felt that the Yan family had bought another new product.
A large piece of clothing has a reputation, and it is because the third aunt has a sewing machine that makes it much easier to make clothes and mend them.
After having dinner together in the evening, Yan Jiecheng sent Yu Li home. Yan Bugui was still waiting for Yan Jiecheng, "Jie Cheng, there is a wedding next Sunday. Who do you need to invite?"
"I'll just call a few classmates and Liu Shitou and Huzi over. The unit will ask our section chief and Li Gong to come over."
"Do you need to prepare a table for them when they come?"
"The section chief and Engineer Li need it, I can just hire the others individually later."
"We only need two uncles to accompany the guests in our courtyard. How many people from Yu Li's family are coming?"
"Yu Li's family will come over and arrange a dinner for Yu Li's parents."
"Then it's almost enough to have a banquet. You and Shazhu have made an agreement, right?"
"This has been booked with Shazhu a long time ago."
What was finally decided was similar to the scene at Liu Guangqi’s second uncle’s house. They invited Yu’s parents and the leaders of the steel rolling mill to a table. In the courtyard, relatives and friends who came over had a big pot of food and steamed buns with Erhe noodles. The scene looked similar,
But when Liu Guangqi got married, it was during the most difficult period. The gold content was far from comparable, and the money spent might be ten times different.
When he got off work on Friday, Yan Jiecheng went to section chief Liu Gong to ask for leave, write a letter of introduction, and invite him to the wedding. It can be said that the wedding leave was only two days, Saturday and Monday.
"System, sign in!"
"Congratulations to the host for getting: ten yuan in money and ten pounds of pork belly."
Yan Jiecheng also roughly understands the system. On Yan Jiecheng's important days, there will be critical attacks. Today is the day to decide to get the certificate. The system generously gave ten yuan and ten pounds of pork. I just don't know and decided not to get the certificate today. I understand.
Go get the certificate again and see if there is a bug. It shouldn't be that simple.
After picking up Yu Li, the two of them went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to queue up to get the certificate. They arrived early and there were not many people in the queue. They gave wedding candies and melon seeds to the staff, and soon received a marriage certificate that looked like a certificate. Six five-star red flags were on it.
Right above the marriage certificate, it means that the couple is a revolutionary young man who grew up in the new era of New China. The ears of wheat entrust the country and the people's wish for a good harvest. The pomegranate next to the ears of wheat represents the blessing of many children and good fortune in traditional culture.
After receiving the marriage certificate, the two people returned to the street, changed their household registration, and applied for grain, non-staple food, and coal books. From now on, the two people will be a separate household. Because in this era, many bills were issued to each household, and marriage
In the future, the household registration will be separated. When you receive your marriage certificate, you can also receive a certain amount of peanuts, melon seeds and candy coupons.
After everything was done, I sent Yu Li home and waited to pick up my wife tomorrow.
On Sunday, I started busy early in the morning to entertain relatives and friends who came over.
At ten o'clock, Yan Jiecheng put on his Chinese tunic suit and set out to pick up his wife with big red flowers.
Yan Jiecheng, Liu Shitou, and Hu Zi rode three bicycles to Yu Li's house. Yan Jiecheng picked up Yu Li, and Liu Shitou and Hu Zi brought Yu Li's dowry.
When we returned to the courtyard, the wedding ceremony began. At this time, the ceremony did not change much. It was still similar to the process when Liu Guangqi got married. It started with the singing of "The East is Red" and ended with "Sailing the Sea Depends on the Helmsman".
I was very happy when I watched it, but I was very tired when I was the groom, opening the banquet, and eating.
The banquet includes roasted chicken nuggets with potatoes, braised pork with pickles, braised pork ribs, roast duck, steamed fish, peanuts, scrambled eggs with green onions, cabbage and tofu, fish-flavored shredded pork, spicy and sour potato shreds. A large pot of pork stewed with vermicelli, two sets
The steamed buns were made by Shazhu and his aunties all morning.
Today, the four members of the Yu family, Mr. and Mrs. Yan Bugui, Mr. Liu, Section Chief Liu, Mr. Li, the first and second uncles, Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li were seated.
As a groom, you can't just focus on eating, although Shazhu's serious cooking is more delicious. After a little pampering, he will start to toast, express his gratitude to the guests, and accept the blessings of relatives and friends. There is a circle of people in a large courtyard
After the toasts were over, there was nothing left on the table. If it hadn't been for cheating, he would have been lying on the floor by now.
Waiting for the banquet to end, send off all relatives and friends to help clean up the mess in the courtyard.
In front of all the neighbors, I gave Shazhu half a catty of pork and five yuan. I couldn’t break the rules. If Shazhu didn’t accept the payment, I would ask Shazhu to serve as a banquet for free for all major and minor events in the courtyard. How could Shazhu refuse in the future? Even so.
All the aunts and sisters who are helping in the kitchen can prepare some extra big pot dishes for dinner.
Only after taking Yu Li and the two of them back to the house could they rest.
Yan Jiecheng said: "Yu Li, after all this time, I finally got you married. Don't worry, you can live a good life by following me."
Yu Li: "I married you because I believed that I could live a good life and be happy with you."
"Let me tell you, the situation in our courtyard is quite complicated. You need to pay more attention when you want to live here in the future." Yan Jiecheng said.
"What you need to pay special attention to in the courtyard is the family of Widow Qin in the Intermediate Court. Their two widows and three children are very troublesome. As time goes by, you will know. Just don't have any contact with them now."
Yu Li: "I know, I also grew up living in a courtyard, and there are everyone in the courtyard."
"It's okay that the first uncle is the talkative person in the courtyard. Normal matters can be handled fairly if they don't involve the widow's family. The second uncle is an official fan and likes to get involved in the affairs of the courtyard. He beats the children at home and plays for three days.
Fight, one fight every five days, just be mentally prepared and don't be too surprised."
"Our dad is the third uncle, nicknamed Yan Laoxi. Usually no one comes to mess with our family. Don't lend things or money to others, and the problem won't be big."
"There are also people in our courtyard who borrow money and don't pay back the things they borrow. I don't know the situation and I won't make the decision." Yu Li said.
"Not bad, not bad, come here and have a nice one." Yan Jiecheng hugged Yu Li and kissed her.
In the evening, Yu Li helped the three aunts to cook dinner together. All the large pot dishes cooked at noon were given to the helpers. For dinner, they had millet porridge, Erhe noodle steamed buns (cooked more at noon), scrambled eggs, and stir-fried cabbage.
