Although Yan Bugui and the third aunt were not satisfied with Zhang Hongling's aura of prostitution.
but.
Zhang Hongling has a job. The textile factory is a popular unit these days. Even as a temporary worker, she gets more money than Yan Jiecheng every month.
Moreover, Zhang Hongling didn't want any betrothal gifts. Such a good thing could not be found even with a lantern.
So, the two agreed to their marriage without much thought.
Since Zhang Hongling had no elders, she had to make the decision on her own marriage. Yan Bugui was not polite and asked directly: "Hongling, my family members are quite old, and you are in your twenties. Shouldn't you arrange the marriage as soon as possible?"
Done."
When it comes to marriage, a hint of shyness appears on Zhang Hongling's face: "It all depends on the two elders!"
"Okay!" Yan Bugui was overjoyed when he heard this.
He ran into the house, took out the calendar, flipped through it, and said with a smile: "This Sunday is an auspicious day. Otherwise, we will set the day on Sunday."
The third aunt said a little worriedly: "Today is already Wednesday, and there are only three days until Sunday. Isn't it a bit too hasty, Lao Yan, otherwise, you can find a better day."
"wait"
Seeing that the third aunt was against him, Yan Bugui glanced at her sideways, but in front of Zhang Hongling, he could only pick up the calendar and pull at it for a while.
He said with a bit of regret: "I also know that time is tight, but there will be no good days next month and the month after that."
The third aunt already understood what Yan Bugui meant, so she naturally did not dare to say anything more and turned her attention to Zhang Hongling.
"Son, marriage should be done quickly. Since you have no objection to the solution, how about you get married on the weekend?"
Zhang Hongling lowered her head and squeezed out a sound from her throat: "I will listen to the second elder."
As soon as these words came out, Yan Bugui immediately burst into laughter.
In fact, there will be several good days in the next month, but he is afraid of long nights and many dreams.
If the bad things that Yan Jiecheng did were spread to Zhang Hongling's ears, then the marriage would be considered a scandal.
Zhang Hongling's unexpected agreement made Yan Bugui feel that he could not treat her badly.
At that time, Yanbu Gui collected scraps and made a lot of money under Li Donglai's care.
Although Yu Li had some separation when she got married, her family's financial resources are still thicker than those of ordinary families.
Yan Bugui thought about it and said angrily: "Hong Ling, if you marry Jie Cheng of our family, I can't treat you badly. Let's do this. In addition to asking Jie Cheng to buy you a new dress, our Yan family
Add a new pair of pants. Just wait, I'll get the money for you right now."
Yan Bugui returned to the house and pulled out a jar from under the bed. The jar was covered with dust and looked old.
Yan Bugui gently opened the lid, took out a pile of banknotes, counted out a few, then put the remaining banknotes back into the jar and hid them under the bed.
He walked to the main room with the money and said to the third aunt and Zhang Hongling: "You need cloth tickets to buy clothes. We don't have that stuff at home, so we have to go shopping with others. Just wait a moment, I'll be back soon."
After asking the third aunt and Yan Jiecheng to greet Zhang Hongling, Yan Bugui left the house and walked quickly to Li Donglai's house.
These days, cloth stamps are more valuable than food stamps and meat stamps. As a veteran teacher, Yan Bugui gets less than one foot of stamps every year, which is only enough to make one pair of pants.
People's clothes are often patched one after another. This is called three years of new, three years of old, and another three years of mending.
In the courtyard, the situation of other families was similar. It was impossible to have any extra cloth tickets to lend to the Yan family.
The only exception is Li Donglai's house.
Li Donglai is now the factory leader and the director of the laboratory. His monthly material supply quota is a little higher than that of ordinary households.
Of course, Yan Bugui wouldn't do it for free, because he brought the money.
Inside the Li family house.
After Li Donglai returned home, he took a rare day off and played a horse riding game with two boys, Wei Dong and Wei Guo.
A few people were having a great time when Yan Bugui knocked on the door.
"Are you busy? Come east."
Li Donglai took Wei Dong off his body and took a deep look at Yan Bugui.
Since Yan Jiecheng was released, Yan Bugui has not visited the Li family's door again. Now that he suddenly came to the door, he must have something to talk about.
He took out a wooden pistol from the drawer and handed it to Wei Dong: "You and Wei Guo come together to play in the courtyard. The third uncle and I have something to discuss."
The wooden pistol was a gift from Qin Fen to his two children. Although it looked very simple, it was deeply loved by the two children.
Wei Dong excitedly took the pistol, laughed twice, raised the wooden pistol, and said vividly: "Wei Guo, let's play the game of police catching thief. I am the police and you are the thief."
Weiguo said, "No, I also want to be a policeman."
Wei Dong looked at Wei Guo, tilted his little head and said, "Then let's take turns to play, okay?"
"good."
The two children giggled and ran out of the house.
Li Donglai asked Yan Bugui to sit down and poured tea for Yan Bugui.
"Third uncle, I haven't been here for a while. What happened this time?"
Hearing this, Yan Bugui felt a sense of embarrassment and hurriedly put down the enamel jar and explained: "Donglai, it's not that the third uncle doesn't want to come, but because of the things that guy Yan Jiecheng did, I feel embarrassed and I really have no face to come.
.”
Li Donglai chuckled and said: "Don't mention the past things anymore. As long as Yan Jiecheng can change his ways, your and my hard work will be considered in vain."
"He can definitely change. Yan Jiecheng has become an honest man since he was released from prison. Not only that, he also has a girlfriend and is about to get married."
Yan Bugui said with a smile: "That girl is an honest child. She didn't ask for any gifts or anything like that, but we still have to have the etiquette we should have, so I thought about buying a new set of clothes for the girl. As you know, I went to the supply and marketing department
You need cloth tickets to buy clothes in the club. The few cloth tickets I had at home were spent before the New Year, so I thought I could borrow some from you."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li Donglai was stunned when he heard these words.
What the hell, Yan Jiecheng is getting married?
When he entered, he met Yan Jiecheng and the girl. Judging from the girl's appearance, this must be the first time they had visited the Yan family.
Getting married as soon as you get married is faster than the flash marriages of later generations.
To be honest, Li Donglai didn't have a good impression of that girl.
Girls in this era are more conservative and would blush if a man looks at them.
When the girl met him, she looked at him openly several times, and her eyes were not normal, as if she had a hook.
There won't be any problem here, right?
Li Donglai frowned, looked at Yan Bugui and said, "Old Yan, is Yan Jiecheng's marriage too hasty? Have you found out about the girl's family background?"
"Ahem" Yan Bugui smiled awkwardly: "That girl's name is Zhang Hongling. Her background is very simple. She has no father or mother. She is originally from Baoding."
Yan Bugui introduced Zhang Hongling's situation and sighed: "Donglai, our two families have a good relationship. I won't hide it from you. With the current situation, it's good that a girl is willing to marry him. Zhang Hongling
If you are willing, why don’t I hurry up and get it done?”
"That's what I say, but what if that girl"
The words came to Li Donglai's lips and he swallowed them back. Even though he had a good relationship with Yan Bugui, some words should not be said carelessly.
Seeing that Yan Bugui had made up his mind, Li Donglai said nothing more.
He stood up and took out the cloth ticket from the cabinet and handed it to Yan Bugui.
Yan Bugui paid the money and said with a smile: "Dong Lai, I really want to thank you this time. In two days, Yan Jie will get married. I will definitely let Jie Cheng give you a toast."
"Okay, go back quickly, I have something else to do."
Yan Bugui was acting more and more out of tune now, and he refused to listen to advice. Naturally, Li Donglai was not happy with him.
Yan Bugui was very happy at this moment and did not notice that Li Donglai's expression was abnormal. After saying thank you, he held the cloth ticket and hurried home with his head buried in his head.
As soon as he reached the middle courtyard, he was stopped by Qin Huairu.
Ever since the Jia family was attacked by pig manure, the Jia family's life has become even more difficult.
The furniture at home, including sheets and quilts, were all stained with pig manure. Qin Huairu spent two days cleaning them but still couldn't get them clean.
Qin Huairu wanted to buy new sheets and quilts, but she had no money. The house still smelled like pig manure. If it hadn't been cold outside, their family would have slept in the courtyard.
This morning, Qin Huairu saw Yan Jiecheng leading a strange girl into Yan's house. She seemed to have seen the girl somewhere, but she couldn't remember it for a while.
Seeing Yan Bugui running around in the courtyard as happy as if he had drunk honey, Qin Huairu felt that something big might happen to the Yan family.
Qin Huairu is very concerned about the situation of the residents of the courtyard house because she believes that opportunities always come to those who are prepared.
A major event for the Yan family might be an opportunity for the Jia family.
"Third uncle, what are you doing? You are so happy." Qin Huairu pretended to be concerned.
Yan Bugui originally didn't want to talk to Qin Huairu, but today he was so happy that he probably wouldn't be able to sleep at night if he didn't share it with others.
"My Yan Jiecheng is getting married, and the woman is a worker in a textile factory." Yan Bugui was so happy that he took out the cloth coupons in his pocket and waved them: "No, I just bought some cloth from the uncle's place.
I'm going to buy a new set of clothes for my daughter-in-law."
"Yan Jiecheng is getting married?"
Qin Huairu was shocked by the news. She originally thought that Yan Jiecheng would have to work hard for the rest of her life after what happened, but she didn't expect to get married so soon.
So, the girl Yan Jiecheng brought back this morning is the future daughter-in-law of the Yan family?
Where did you see it?
Qin Huairu frowned and thought for a long time, but did not want to get better.
Seeing that Qin Huairu remained silent, Yan Bugui thought Qin Huairu had something in mind and quickly said: "Qin Huairu, now you are the head of the Jia family. I will officially inform you that my family will get married on the weekend. The wedding banquet will be held on the weekend."
It will be arranged in our compound, and I hope you can participate when the time comes."
In this era, when people in the capital held wedding banquets, they usually borrowed the canteen of their workplace. However, Yan Jiecheng made a mistake and was fired from the steel rolling mill, leaving him without a workplace.
And Yan Bugui is a primary school teacher, and there is no canteen in Hongxing Primary School.
In addition to the work canteen, the second option is to go to a restaurant on the street and set up a few tables of food and wine.
but.
The food and drinks in restaurants are relatively expensive.
Isn't Yan Bugui the kind of person who spends money in vain? In the end, the wedding banquet was held in the courtyard.
At that time, I will ask Sha Zhu to be the chef, and then go to the vegetable market to buy some vegetables and meat, cook a few tables of dishes, and everyone will have a lively meal.
You can eat well and save money at the same time.
As witty as I am, Yan Bugui.
Just when Yan Bugui was happy with his wit, Qin Huairu felt a little embarrassed.
When she married Jia Dongxu and gave birth to three children, the Yan family all came to the wedding banquet and handed over gifts.
Logically speaking, she should also attend the Yan family's wedding banquet on behalf of the Jia family.
but.
She really had no money in her hands.
"Well, third uncle, I have to discuss this matter with my mother-in-law."
"Discuss, what's the point of discussing?" Yan Bugui felt strange: "Your Jia family won't be so ungrateful, right?"
"No, absolutely not"
Qin Huairu waved her hands quickly: "I remembered, the kettle at home was sitting on the coal stove. I have to go back quickly. Let's talk next time."
Qin Huairu rushed back to Jia's house and told Jia and Zhang that Yan was going to get married.
When Jia Zhang heard this, her face suddenly turned livid, and her triangular eyes became slanted: "Damn Yan Jiecheng, I originally thought that he would be a bachelor for the rest of his life after divorcing Yu Li, but I didn't expect that a woman would actually marry him!"
"Oh, mother, stop scolding and think about what to do. Our family doesn't even have the money to go to the Yan family for a wedding banquet now." Qin Huairu stamped her feet anxiously.
Jia Zhang sneered twice, stood up and said, "Oh, Huai Ru, you have been the daughter-in-law of our Jia family for so many years, why are you still so stupid! When did our Jia family spend money on wedding banquets?"
"Isn't this too embarrassing?" Qin Huairu swallowed.
"What a shame!" Mrs. Jia Zhang said confidently: "Our Jia family is having a hard time now. It's wrong for them not to want to help our Jia family. Now they even want to ask for gifts from our Jia family. They are really wishful thinking.
.”
"From today on, our whole family will not eat. When the time comes, we will have a big meal at the Yan family's wedding banquet."
"Also, bring our two enamel basins. Let's pour the leftovers into the enamel basins while we eat."
"Maybe we don't have to buy groceries this month."
After listening to Jia Zhang's words, Qin Huairu couldn't help but give a thumbs up. Ginger is still spicy.
but.
Qin Huairu said timidly: "Mom, we only have one clean enamel basin at home, which is for washing your face. The remaining one is your footbath."
"What's wrong with the footbath? As long as it's washed, it's the same as the dishes!" Mrs. Jia Zhang glared at Qin Huairu: "This is an excellent opportunity for our Jia family. You must not miss it."
Qin Huairu wanted to cry but had no tears.
Yan Bugui didn't know that his family's wedding banquet had been targeted by Jia Zhang, and he was busy arranging the wedding banquet.
He had good calligraphy skills and quickly wrote the invitation and handed it to Yan Jiefang: "Go and deliver it door to door according to the list on the invitation."
