Chapter 135, hold the hand of the son, grow old with the son
Of course, he was in favor of his tribe's desire to get married, but Xu Wei wanted them to finish their autumn harvest before agreeing to resolve their personal issues.
Now the young people in Mayi were full of motivation to harvest wheat. They went to work in the fields before dawn every day. When it got dark, they had to work until midnight even if they held a torch.
Such a scene of fighting was seen by Xu Wei and he said: "Sure enough, human potential is infinite. If you don't put any pressure on yourself, you don't know how much potential you have!"
With more than 2 million acres of land, it took less than half a month to complete the process of harvesting, threshing, grinding into flour, and even planting winter wheat.
The most important autumn harvest and planting in Mayi were completed. Xu Wei not only did not restrict their right to pursue a happy life, but helped them find their significant other.
He studied the modern blind date method, arranged for 2,000 women and 2,000 bachelors every day, found a large venue, put some food on it, and everyone ate, drank, and chatted about cattle and sheep, fields, and work.
When both parties see eye to eye, the man takes the woman to see his house, his own fields, his own horses, his own cattle and sheep.
Xu Wei was worried about their happiness, and basically divided the spoils among them. Everyone got a horse, two cows, and a new house.
This is equivalent to having a house, a car, and land. No shepherdess can control such a diamond king.
In fact, this is also true. As soon as they saw the man's family property, many people slept together that day, and a new family was formed.
But Xu Wei felt that this was a bit hasty, and life still needs a sense of ceremony, so he thought that Mayi would pay for it to hold a group wedding for everyone. Firstly, it would reward everyone for their hard work, and secondly, it would also make the couple more happy.
Quickly integrate into the Tengjia Army group.
Autumn is crisp and the weather is pleasant!
A festive atmosphere filled the surroundings of Mayi, and everyone had a cheerful smile on their face, because today is a good day in Mayi.
"Song Shuang, I'm almost exhausted. You're still free there. Come and help them draw their eyebrows!" Zhang Ning, who was busy, called out.
In a huge warehouse, thousands of women are busy dressing up.
Among the busy girls in the room, Zhang Ning's forehead was dripping with sweat, and he kept using the gouache in his hand to slap a woman's face.
The women in Mayi are basically from the lower class here, and the barbarians on the grasslands, let alone the barbarians, basically don't know how to dress up, not even rouge and gouache.
The only one with a better background is Zhang Ning. His father, Zhang Niujiao, had a background in selling private salt. Although he was not born high, his family was rich. Zhang Niujiao had always raised him as a daughter-in-law. This kind of grooming and grooming
Naturally, she is the most familiar with things.
So Zhang Ning became the chief makeup artist, leading hundreds of women from Mayi to dress the brides and wear jewelry and clothing.
"Has the new dress for the bride arrived?" Zhang Ning continued to ask.
Song Shuang said: "It's still in the process of being made, it should be here soon! There is no way, there are too many clothes needed, and everyone is too busy, so we can only wait!"
Zhang Ning complained: "I don't know what this Lei Gong is thinking all day long. How could so many people get married together in one breath? It's such a mess now."
Zhang Ning had complaints against Xu Wei. When she said she wanted to join the army, Xu Wei agreed, but she didn't expect that this so-called joining the army was to become a female nurse. What she did every day was to follow the doctor and take care of the wounded. She couldn't do it at all.
Go to the battlefield.
During the last battle with 100,000 Xianbei cavalry, she only saw seriously injured Xianbei people in the medical tent and did not go to the front line at all. This was completely different from what she had imagined.
She went to Xu Wei to settle the score, but Xu Wei said plausibly: "Nurses are also a type of soldiers. Can you say that fire-headed soldiers are not soldiers?"
"No way!"
"Then why can't medical soldiers be considered soldiers?"
"In this battle, you personally saved hundreds of people. This is a greater contribution than if you killed hundreds of enemies on the battlefield. With such a great contribution, how can you discriminate against medical soldiers? We just have different divisions of labor.
, each using his or her own strengths!”
Zhang Ning was dizzy after being deceived by Xu Wei. It didn't take long for her to wake up. She knew that she had been deceived by Xu Wei, and she didn't have a good look towards her from then on.
And her uncles also came to persuade her, saying that the Tengjia Army has a bright future and can destroy the big man, and it must be the Tengjia Army who helps him avenge his revenge, so she should not give up her current position.
In the past few months since she came to the Tengjia Army, she has also found that the Tengjia Army is full of vitality, which is not comparable to the previous Yellow Turban Rebel Army, so she has not given up her position as a nurse and has stayed in the Tengjia Army.
It wasn't until this time that there was really no one in Mayi who knew how to make up, so she was hired as the chief make-up artist.
Song Shuang on the side said with envy: "What's wrong with getting married together? How festive! And there are new clothes to wear, and they can share a house. Even the wedding banquet was prepared for them. They only need to eat and drink to get a wife.
Why haven’t I caught up with such a good thing!”
"No, when my son grows up, I will definitely ask Qu Shuai to hold a group wedding like this!"
Song Shuang is one of the few lucky ones in the Tengjia Army. His family has gone through several wars. Except for his father-in-law and mother-in-law who died of starvation, the rest of the family was lucky enough to survive and they were all together.
"The new clothes are here. Please pick them up according to your name. They are all made according to your size. If they are too big, you can change them immediately!" Xu Juan came here with the female workers from the garment factory and the new clothes.
Then he wiped his sweat and said: "You will be the daughters-in-law of Han people in the future. You must learn to cut your own clothes. You don't even know how to make clothes. If you were in Han Dynasty, people would definitely laugh to death!"
Xu Wei moved his mouth and broke his legs. He said that he wanted to hold a collective wedding for the tribesmen in Mayi. The banquet was okay. Mayi was used to eating from a big pot. At most, the food served on the wedding day was just a little better, and it was not difficult.
So, everyone regarded it as an autumn harvest celebration.
But we also have to prepare new clothes for the bride and groom, which is very tiring. It takes several days to cut one piece of clothing. If these are Han Chinese wives, just give them woolen cloth instead of new clothes in three days.
They came out, but it happened that most of them were Xianbei wives. If you ask them to make a sheepskin jacket, they might be able to make it, but don't even think about Chinese-style clothes. They don't understand it at all.
Do.
With no other choice, Xu Wei could only leave it to Xu Juan's female textile workers and ask them to find a way to make the bride and groom's clothes.
But these clothes were not for one or two people, but for thousands of couples, and the time was tight. Xu Juan told Xu Wei on the spot that she couldn't make them.
Fortunately, Xu Wei had an idea. With the funds accumulated by the New China for construction, he claimed to have used 800 million shirts to buy a Boeing aircraft, making clothing a trivial matter.
Xu Wei first asked them to set the standard for size, small, medium, large, extra large, and then set the standard for a sleeve and a standard for a collar. After the standard was established, he cut these sleeves and collars from the cloth.
The tailoring is done, and then the pieces are sewn and pieced together. It only takes less than an hour to make a piece of clothing, and the quality is guaranteed.
Xu Wei also went to the textile factory to guide them for half a day, and only then did Xu Juan and the others understand how to use the assembly line method to make clothes.
After being guided by Xu Wei for half a day, Xu Juan and the others instantly opened up the Ren and Du channels, and discovered for the first time that making clothes was so simple.
Only Xu Wei still looked disgusted. He still remembered the news he watched when he was a child, which seemed to say that a piece of clothing could be made in 10 minutes. But now even with the assembly line, it still takes half an hour.
There is no way that such efficiency would be achieved without a sewing machine. Xu Wei felt that it was necessary to get a sewing machine as well.
Xu Juan's words were in vain. Why did the bride see these beautiful clothes? Her eyes were straightened. She immediately surrounded them and was extremely happy, but she did not dare to touch these clothes.
Zhang Ning said helplessly: "It's all in vain for you to tell them all this. Most of them can't even speak Chinese, let alone know Chinese characters. Song Shuang took the sisters to give them clothes and help them wear them."
.”
People like Song Shuang, after more than a year of training by Xu Wei, already know thousands of Chinese characters. They know most of the names on them. Even those who don't know them will know them by asking each other.
They led the brides to change their clothes!
Only Xu Juan said with a look of astonishment: "Didn't they decide to get married? How can they communicate with their men if they can't even speak Chinese? I don't remember how many men in Mayi can speak Xianbei dialect."
Zhang Ning said with a look of disgust: "This kind of thing doesn't require communication. Most of them just met once, gestured to each other for a while, and then got together."
Xu Juan said in astonishment: "Is this okay?"
At this time, the brides changed their clothes one after another. They used to be 50% beautiful with makeup, but now after putting on the bridal clothes, they instantly became 80% beautiful.
A group of sisters who were helped by Song Shuang all praised in amazement and even showed jealousy.
Even Zhang Ning was surprised and said: "Sister Xu Juan, the clothes you make are so beautiful. Such beautiful clothes would cost at least 2,000 yuan in Jizhou! My little sister wants one!"
Xu Juan said: "How do I understand this? Qu Shuai taught me how to make these. They say they are the special clothes of the Xianbei people!"
In fact, Xu Wei copied the ethnic minority costumes of later generations. The most outstanding point is that they are beautiful. But in fact, in this era, Xianbei people could not even afford to eat, so how could there be so many beautiful costumes!
"Lei Gong, he also knows how to make clothes?" Zhang Ning asked in surprise.
Xu Juan smiled and said: "Our Qu Shuai is omnipotent, there is really nothing he doesn't understand. I am an old man, otherwise I would definitely marry him as a concubine!"
Then she looked at Zhang Ning and said with a smile: "Sister, do you like our handsome guy?"
"If you like it, sister, let me go and ask with you?"
Zhang Ning blushed and said, "My little sister is ignoring you!"
After saying that, he ran away.
Xu Juan clapped her hands and said: "Sisters, after the bride has put on her clothes, take them to the wedding banquet. Don't let them get lost, otherwise it will be a joke!"
"Sister Xu Juan, don't worry, we can't lose it to the bride!" Song Shuang and the others replied with a smile.
At the wedding banquet, the grooms had been waiting for a long time.
Men are much simpler than women. After washing up, Xu Wei got a set of the same style as Li Xiaoyao, and every groom looked dashing.
Under the guidance of the soldiers who temporarily acted as wedding officiants, they all stood in their positions one by one. Thousands of people stood in a long line, extending several hundred meters away.
The old tribesmen in Mayi were sitting at the banquet, looking at these nervous grooms, and making fun of them from time to time.
Soon someone called: "The bride is here!"
Everyone saw thousands of brides in formal dresses slowly walking towards them.
The groom looked straight at the group of beautiful brides.
The same goes for the people below! They have never seen so many beauties gathered together.
"These young people are really blessed. Qu Shuai helped them find such a beautiful bride!"
"If I had known these Xianbei people were so beautiful, I would have looked for a Xianbei bride!" A middle-aged man said, looking at these brides with envy.
But a voice said angrily: "I am not good enough for you? You still want to find the younger one. I think you want to die!"
"Madam, I'm just praising these brides. Don't we know how beautiful these Xianbei brides are?
It's just that people rely on clothes. Madam, please wait. After this monthly salary is paid, I will also get you a set of bridal clothes like this!"
When the woman heard this, she said in embarrassment: "You are talking nonsense again. This is the dress the bride wears. I am already old and yellow, so what else am I wearing!"
But the middle-aged man said: "Who said the lady is old? You must be the most beautiful one in this dress!"
At this time, the bride and groom were already standing together on the stage, and the wedding officially began.
Xu Wei first came to the stage with a tin speaker and said to everyone: "Today is a happy day. We have thousands of brothers who have ended their single lives and have their own families!"
His loud voice reached everyone's ears through the loudspeaker.
Everyone was very excited when they heard this. Just two years ago, they were living in dire straits. Even more than a year ago, they were hunted down by the Han army.
But today they finally have a place to rely on, where they can live as one person and continue their bloodline. And all of this was brought about by the man in front of them. Thinking of this, everyone admires Xu Wei even more.
"From today on, you will start a family and start a business. You must shoulder the responsibilities of a husband and father. Take good care of your wives and sons and make them live a happy life. This is a man's responsibility. Finally, I use the words of an ancient poem to bless you!
"I hope you will hold my son's hand and grow old together with me!"
The people in the audience also cheered: "Hold your hand and grow old together with me!"
