Originally, tomorrow was the last day for everyone to do corvee service.
Xue Xiaoqi suddenly wanted to get married, so the military camp gave the civilian husbands a day off.
Song Liyun was very surprised by this matter.
Counting from the time we arrived in Ruijin Town, it was only seven or eight days and a month away, and it had only been more than ten days since I moved into Baolin Residence.
She only heard that the flash marriage took one month, but she didn't expect that the marriage would be arranged after Xu Yaner disappeared for ten days in the middle of the night.
However, she felt relieved that she would no longer become a "family" with Xue Xiaoqi, who smiled toothily.
During dinner, under Song Liyun's questioning, Song Zhenping hesitated and explained the reason, leaving Song Liyun speechless for a while.
It turned out that Xu Yan'er stayed away all night and was lying on the bed every day to recover from the cold.
Xue Xiaoqi took great care of me.
The sixteen-year-old girl was fascinated by these greetings, and when she met Xue Xiaoqi, who was obviously a veteran in flowers, she couldn't control herself.
One afternoon, while there was no one around at the migrant workers' accommodation, the two of them were drying firewood and caught fire. They accomplished something good, but they happened to be bumped into by someone else.
This incident immediately caused an uproar.
Fortunately, most of the civilian husbands are men, and some of them are interested in these things, so they don't laugh at them in person.
But when the matter was revealed to the public, Mrs. Cui cried her heart out.
She was just doing corvee work to earn money, and she just wanted to take advantage of Xue Xiaoqi, and ended up hooking up with her own girl.
So he sued the military camp and demanded Xue Xiaoqi's life for compensation.
Raping a civilian girl is a felony no matter where it is, and Luo Baihu immediately wanted to behead Xue Xiaoqi to enforce military discipline.
Still, Xu Yaner was deeply in love and pursued her to the death, saying that they were in love with each other and that they wanted to get married voluntarily, and the military camp could not lose their humanity, etc.
Luo Baihu let Xue Xiaoqi go for the sake of Xu Yaner's plea.
He was only beaten with ten army sticks, his position was reduced, he was expelled from the military camp, and the two of them were allowed to get married.
Xue Zhuang didn't want to leave, so there was a second military household in Suijin Town.
As for Song Zhenping speaking so hesitantly, there is still a follow-up.
"Yun'er, Xue Zhuang invited us to a wedding banquet!"
Song Liyun raised his eyebrows: "That's a good thing! There are only two military households in Suijin Town, so it's appropriate for them to move around each other."
"We are having a wedding banquet... we need to give gifts. Aunt Cui wants me to give a tael of silver."
"Pfft!"
Song Liyun spurted out a mouthful of soup.
A wedding banquet requires one or two silver coins!
What a good Mrs. Cui, she clearly marked the price and asked for gift money, so she thought she was being taken advantage of.
Not to mention whether Song Zhenping could spare a few ounces of silver, even if he had some, he couldn't give it away in vain.
"Yun'er, I asked Uncle Qin, and he said that for ordinary farmers, ten cents for a meal is enough.
We won't go to the banquet, but we will ask Uncle Qin to help advance the gift money, and we plan to give him twenty coins, and we will return it to him after we settle the bill the day after."
Song Zhenping is not stupid. He has never touched any money in nineteen years. How is it possible for someone to just give it away with just a word?
Even if we are both military households in the future, there is no reason to give away one tael of silver for each meal.
Since the food is expensive, it’s okay not to eat it yourself.
Song Liyun frowned, Xue Zhuang also settled in the town, and they will both be military households in the future. The stalemate is really not good-looking.
However, if you only give away money and don’t sit down, you will lose money.
She looked at the acorn cake that Xiao An was pulling, and an idea flashed in her mind, and she quickly asked: "Where will Xue Zhuang hold a banquet tomorrow?"
Song Zhenping thought for a while: "In the new house in the town!"
Although Xue Zhuang was dismissed from his post, he was still a military household settled in Suijin Town. Luo Baihu, remembering his old friendship, let him choose a house and allocate land.
The new home was set up in the town, in the same courtyard that Song Liyun had chosen.
Xu Yaner's mother was in Suijin Town, so she had a natal family, but time was in a hurry. Xue Zhuang also felt that he had been expelled from the military camp and was too embarrassed to go back to his hometown to tell his parents that everything in the marriage would be simple.
Fortunately, the house was ready-made, and the groom's official Xue Zhuang also bought some old furniture in the town. It only took two days to decorate the new house.
The next day, Ruijin Town ushered in a rare happy day.
Early in the morning, Song Liyun got up and got busy.
When the migrant workers were on holiday, Song Zhenping helped her, grinding the flour, filtering the flour, and boiling the jelly. The brother and sister made a big pot of acorn jelly cake.
The most expensive thing was the ingredients, which Song Liyun didn't prepare.
As soon as the cold cake was ready, she put a bowl in a basket.
Xiao An and Song Zhenping were left at home to tidy up the backyard, and they went to town alone.
At this time, at Xue Zhuang's new house in the town, there were several mothers-in-law and daughter-in-laws posting red ribbons inside and outside the courtyard.
A middle-aged man was coming out of the courtyard with a knife of meat. He looked back and complained: "I'm just marrying a soldier. His face is so arrogant that he thinks the meat is not fat enough."
After he muttered and walked from the new house, Song Liyun stopped him and said with a smile: "Uncle Mu, who are you unhappy with?"
Song Liyun knew this person, his surname was Mu, and he ran a grocery store in the town.
His store has a full range of items, and in addition to selling fabrics and clothes, he also sells grains, oils, rice, noodles, and salt.
The used rice and flour clothes that Song Liyun later bought were from his store.
It seems that they got the meat from somewhere today and want to sell it to Xue Xiaoqi who is hosting a banquet.
When Boss Mu saw Song Liyun, he felt like he was seeing an outlet for venting. He immediately stamped his feet and said angrily: "Miss Song, you come to judge.
The Xue family planned to have three tables of wine-drinking guests, but these five kilograms of meat are too thin and too much. Look, the fat on my meat is as wide as five fingers."
Song Liyun had just bought something from his shop, so he naturally recognized it and couldn't help but complain.
Song Liyun pursed her lips and smiled and said: "You said Xue Junhu's banquet is difficult to host, so let the host add a few more kilograms of meat, and it will be organized smoothly."
Hearing Song Liyun's words, Boss Mu was so angry that he slapped his fat palm and said: "To put it lightly, we only have two or three hundred coins in total. What can we do? This piece of meat alone is five hundred cents."
Ten coins, not to mention preparing other side dishes.
Besides, what is neatness? According to the rules, it means ten plates and nine bowls.
What are you thinking about? Where can you find those things in this Broken Gold Town now? If in the past few years, as long as you can spare the money, you can fly in the sky and on the ground, and you can do everything.
Don't brag, I can buy it even for a full banquet. It's better than Tianxianglou in Qili County. Wherever you cut a bowl of steamed meat into eight slices like today, you have to talk about it."
Boss Mu thought he was angry, and he kept talking without stopping since he opened his mouth.
Song Liyun heard that Boss Mu was the one in charge of today's wedding banquet, and he felt happy: he really got what he wanted. Of course, the purchaser and the cook had the final say on cooking matters.
She waited for Boss Mu to finish complaining and then said: "There are ways to eat even if you don't have enough money. Boss Mu, try acorn tofu."
"What, tofu with acorn noodles, hey! Don't say that, that acorn noodles are bitter, just to satisfy your hunger. Who wants to eat that at a wedding banquet?"
When he heard Song Liyun talk about acorn noodles, Boss Mu shook his head repeatedly.
