After the banquet, the guests left in groups of three or three.
Ahu's mother brought several nieces and Chen Min to see off the guests at the door. Anyone who came to have a wedding banquet could get a pack of wedding candy and two packs of cigarettes.
Everyone came happily and left happily.
It was cold and the guests went back at almost three o'clock.
Ahu's mother and Chen Min's sisters cleaned up and down the store together and cleaned it up and down.
At this time, Cuiliu called Chen Min to go upstairs.
"My sisters have to go back to the village. Is Ah Hu's cousin awake? I want to ask him to help take them back to the village."
Cuiliu's bridesmaids are all from the village, sisters and friends, and they all live in Hejia Village.
Chen Minwei said: "He drank too much at noon and is still sleeping."
Cui Liu asked again: "What about Brother Ayuan? He should be able to do it?"
"He... helped me block too much wine and is still asleep now." Chen Min explained with a wry smile.
Cui Liu looked at the sky and said, "What should I do? There might be snow again at night. It's really not that the weather is too late to go back."
Chen Min thought for a while and said, "Don't be afraid, I'll ask Sister Ling Ling to send them over."
"Yes!" Cui Liu said excitedly: "I almost forgot! My sister-in-law can drive too!"
Chen Min hurried down to find Xue Ling.
Xue Ling was holding Xiao Ranran who was asleep and sat not far from the stove looking at the water pot.
After Chen Min said that, she immediately agreed.
Liu Ying, who was beside him, carefully hugged Xiao Ranran and lowered his voice: "Go quickly! It's nothing to do when I come back after sending it. Don't worry, Xiao Ranran is with me and your father!"
Cheng Muhai nodded slightly and whispered: "There is a lot of snow on the road, be careful, don't be too fast."
"Hey! I understand." Xue Ling drank half a bowl of warm water and set off quickly.
Soon, four bridesmaids wearing big flower cotton jackets said goodbye to Cuiliu and Chen Min, and got into the car one after another.
Xue Ling started the car and drove them to the road in the next county town.
"I don't know much about the route. When I arrive in the next county, please help me guide me."
"No problem! Sister-in-law, how old are you this year? Why can you drive?"
"That's it! This is the first time I've seen a woman who can drive! You're so awesome!"
"Is it difficult to drive? Such heavy cars are made of iron, so they must be very heavy, right?"
Xue Ling smiled and replied: "It's not heavy, just control the gears and clutch, step on the accelerator and brakes, and you have to worry about whether the size of the car can pass through. Look at the rear mirror and the mirrors on both sides. As long as you are proficient, it will not be difficult.
”
"We don't understand!"
"That's it! It's very difficult to understand! It seems very complicated!"
"Sister-in-law, your car is very expensive, right?"
Xue Ling couldn't answer too carefully and whispered: "Thirty to forty thousand."
"What?! So many?!"
"If you have that much money, you should build more than ten large tiled houses!"
"That's it! If it were me, I would definitely build this money into a large tile house. How could I bear to buy a small iron house?"
Xue Ling was amused by this concept and said, "Girl, although the big tiled house is good, there will be a better house! With a car, it is convenient to enter and exit, and it can go a long way, which is safer and more convenient.
For example, now, it’s very cold and snowy outside, so the bicycles are definitely not able to ride, so we can only walk. Think about it, it will take two or three hours to walk along the way.”
"Yes, it will definitely take three or two hours if it snows. If there is no snow, there is no need."
Xue Ling said: "It's very cold outside, but we sit inside but don't feel it. We can walk on the snow quickly. Even if we drive slowly, we can get there in more than half an hour."
"But... it's too much money!"
"Yes, yes! You can buy a lot of things with so much money!"
Xue Ling just smiled and thought that these girls were very simple, but the little girls in the countryside didn't go out much, had little knowledge and had no broad vision, so their ideas would inevitably be a little behind.
"Girls, people are greedy. When you were young, the problem of food and clothing might not be solved. At that time, what you thought was to eat enough. Now the economy is better, and we can still eat enough for meals, but we can't do it yet.
Eat so well. Therefore, when we are satisfied, we will inevitably think about eating well occasionally. We have some pork belly, and even want to eat some pork ribs during the Chinese New Year and the holidays. We will be able to eat big fish and meat every day.
, what else would you want to eat?”
"It's hard to think about it! I guess what seafood I want to eat! Big shrimp! Big crab!"
"Maybe I wanted to eat that kind of smelly at that time!"
"Eat what I like, you can become beautiful after eating!"
"Hahaha!"
Xue Ling finished laughing and said, "Yes! People are like this. When you have it, you will pursue higher enjoyment. I already have a house at home, so I will pursue a car. With a car, go out.
No matter whether it is windy or snowy, I don’t have to be afraid. There are elderly people and children at home, and it is safe and convenient to carry them in the car."
"It's right! If you have a house, you need something else!"
"Sister-in-law, I thought you were from a big city, and maybe you would be very proud and look down on us small rural girls. I didn't expect you to be very angry and speak very gently and makes sense!"
Xue Ling smiled and said, "The difference between big cities and rural areas is quite large at present, but it may not be much better. In the future, the distance between rural areas and cities will be narrowed, and people in big cities may still envy rural areas! My parents went to
I came here to play for a month, and they all liked it very much because the food was delicious, and the water and air were better than those in big cities.”
"Yo! It's so strange!"
"People in big cities actually think that our place is good?! Hahaha!"
"Impossible?"
Xue Ling replied: "This is a fact. Don't always think that rural areas are not good. Things here are cheaper than big cities, with better air and better water quality. There are many cars and people in big cities, so it is inconvenient to go out once."
"Sister-in-law, you're really good at joking."
"I know you don't look down on us rural people, but I can't believe you at all! Haha!"
Everyone laughed happily.
Xue Ling could only laugh. Now they can't understand what she said, and they just listened to it as a joke.
When the big cities develop faster and the county towns develop, they will sooner or later find that she is not wrong. But she has not reached that level of development yet, so she will only listen to it as a joke.
I soon arrived at the next county town and headed around Hejia Village.
"Sister-in-law, our village is ahead! Then you can stop the car and we will walk in!"
Xue Ling said: "Anyway, we've arrived, so it's not too long. I'll send you in."
"No, no! The road in the village is too small. Your car is so big. I guess you won't be able to get out if you go in later."
"Yes! Cuiliu's family is at the entrance of the village, so don't be afraid. Our family is inside, and the road is too small."
Xue Ling had no choice but to nod, "Okay, you will call me to stop when it comes."
It was deserted all the way, with only one or two pedestrians occasionally.
Xue Ling was afraid of the cold, so he took the initiative to talk about Cuiliu's family.
"I heard that the old man injured his leg last night, but fortunately his bones are fine."
"Her grandfather is very strong. Don't be too thin to see that he is thin, he doesn't have to be bad for young people when he does work. However, the fall is really serious, and his legs are so swollen."
"Cui Liu's grandfather ran a boat when he was young. I heard that he had been to many places and went abroad once, all the way to Luzon Island in the south!"
"Later, I got older and couldn't run anymore, so I stayed at home. Cuiliu was raised by her grandfather and grandma when she was a child, and her relationship was very good!"
