Undoubtedly, the most interesting place on this night was Hong Yanwu and Shui Qing's new house.
So the final shot still has to come back here.
At ten o'clock in the evening, not only Chen Liquan, who had to go to work tomorrow, went to bed early, but almost all the houses in the west courtyard also turned off their lights.
Only the lights in Hong Yanwu and Shui Qing's huts were still on, which was particularly conspicuous in the dark night.
This was the pattern of life back then.
Not only does everyone have to go to bed early and get up early, but even if they stay late to watch TV, there will be no programs until after eleven o'clock at most.
And everyone is used to turning off the lights and watching in the dark.
No one realizes how much damage this will do to the eyes. People only know that it can save electricity bills.
As for the newlyweds' room, Hong Yanwu and Shui Qing had already packed their luggage.
The air tickets and the marriage certificates of the two of them that Yang Weifan helped to buy were also placed in the bag.
But another inevitable item is in progress.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s not time to be intimate yet.
The two of them were just looking at the accounts and counting the money.
It happened that in the afternoon when Hong Yanwu was drunk and asleep, Shui Qingshou was there with nothing to do, so he took the opportunity to do the accounting of the wedding.
Whether it is expenditures or gifts, gifts and money have been clearly stated. Now it is natural to show off your work achievements.
Of course, this is not Shuiqing's greed for money.
The purpose of calculating this detailed account is actually for future reference by others as gifts.
How can you not write it down? When someone else does something, it will be time to return it. What do you use as a reference?
In fact, this is not an account of money, but an account of favors.
As for the actual financial situation of the entire wedding, it was much better than Shui Qing expected.
Because they didn't spend much money on decorating the house for their wedding, Hong Yanwu, Shui Qing and Chen Liquan took care of everything themselves.
How much are those materials worth? The only real money spent is the imported lamps and curtains purchased at Youyi Store.
What about the furniture? Except for a dressing table, everything else was given to me for free by my eldest brother. I only bought a color TV set for electrical appliances.
All of the above together, it only cost 2,400 yuan.
In addition, since the wedding was held in the factory cafeteria.
With Master Pang's careful attention, a banquet of six cold, eight hot and one soup was settled at twelve yuan.
Soda drinks and ice cream after meals are also priced at the factory price.
In addition to the liquor, beer, cigarettes, candies, and dried fruits for each table, the maximum amount is twenty yuan per table.
Only taxis are more expensive, with six cars costing a little over 200 in total.
Add in the money for making clothes, taking photos, as well as return gifts and odds and ends, and the cost of the wedding is 1,100 yuan.
So after returning to Baodu'er, apart from the things the Hong family gave as gifts during the engagement, their total expenditure on the wedding was actually 3,500 yuan. There was really nothing too wasteful.
Although according to the prevailing social standards at this time, this cost is already relatively large.
Most of the neighbors and colleagues contributed very little.
It's just a piece or two, or a kettle or pots and pans.
Shui Qing's own savings was only five hundred, and Aunt Shui took the initiative to add another five hundred to make up the total of one thousand.
If you really calculate it like this, you will undoubtedly lose money.
But the key is that the Hong family relatives gave a lot.
Guanghong's parents gave him five thousand, and his two elder brothers didn't treat their brothers badly, and both gave him one thousand.
Add in the one thousand yuan from Yuntai, the one thousand yuan from Shou Jingfang, and the one thousand yuan given by the Chang family, and that's a total of ten thousand yuan.
With this money, no matter how big a hole is, one can be rich and abundant.
Secondly, Hong Yanwu’s subordinates are also wealthy.
These brothers who came to drink the "Ba Zi" wedding wine, despite Hong Yanwu's forced request, each of them paid a maximum of 100 yuan as a gift.
But there are so many of them, one hundred and eighty people, how many are they?
So the final figure from the water calculation was that there was a surplus of more than 15,000 yuan after expenses.
She never imagined that by getting married, she would end up with a household worth ten thousand and a half thousand yuan.
And this was actually the reason why Shui Qing urgently reported the debt to Hong Yanwu.
The amount of money was really too much. She really didn't know how to keep the money, and she didn't know if she could repay these favors.
But what she never expected was that Hong Yanwu's attitude was not only indifferent, but also revealed a piece of news, which shocked her again.
I'm afraid that's not all.
Those buddies and friends who were close to Hong Yanwu all gave gifts directly to Hong Yanwu, and no one was given less. The figures were even more terrifying when told.
For example, Zhaoqing personally gave 800, and also gave 800 on behalf of Secretary An.
Yang Weifan, the Song family, and "Xiaobaizi" all gave one thousand.
"Shunzi", "Naughty boy", "Sanbengzi", "Chopper", and "Ciermei" each gave two thousand.
The "little daughter-in-law" couple gave 5,000, and the "general" and "Sanjizi" gave 10,000 on behalf of all "Hai Pengzi".
Even Angelo gave me six hundred.
So we have to add this 30,200 to be the full gift money.
Boy, this was a huge sum of money in 1983.
How is this a marriage? It's like running wildly on the road of scattering money in the sky with a big basin on your head.
How could Shui Qing not be frightened when Hong Yanwu said this?
Her mind was completely at a loss.
"Why did you... why did you just accept such a large amount of money? What... what should I do?"
"What should I do? Cold salad."
Hong Yanwu smiled immediately when he saw Shui Qing's confused look.
He said something stupid first, and then explained.
"Friends come from far and near, and great people also understand the meaning of compliments. This is why we give money to those who are close to us and have the financial ability. In fact, it is no different from others' gifts. Don't worry, don't think too much.
.”
But is Shuiqing so receptive?
She thought for a while and then said, "Isn't it right? I remember that my uncle's home is not in a rural area? Why did my uncle give me so much and my cousin gave me so much? And your brothers, they all gave me thousands. Where am I?"
Are you thinking wildly? There is no such polite person in the world..."
Of course Hong Yanwu has some words.
"Hey, I can't explain it to you in one sentence. Let me tell you this. My cousin used to be poor, but after the village set up factories, their lives became better than those in the city. Maybe this year they will all be poor.
A village can become a household worth 10,000 yuan. And it was my idea to set up the factory. My cousin and Secretary An actually thanked me on behalf of the whole village, so is this money still a lot?"
"Others are the same, and they are all living a good life. Yang Weifan and 'General' are both life-long friends with me. When they get married, I will give birth to a rich man. And 'Xiao Baizi' and 'Little Wife',
'San Bengzi' and 'Chop Knife' are living their good lives now because of my guidance. So this is called rolling pancakes with fingers, but actually we are eating ourselves. Don't worry, they definitely have this ability, and they will definitely not do it.
To pretend to be fat, one act of generosity will lead to ten years of pain."
He paused for a while and then said, "I asked Quanzi to help collect this money first. When we come back later, he will give it to you. Along with the fifteen thousand, you can just accept it with peace of mind. From now on, this money
It's up to you to control it."
But it was better not to say this. After saying this, Shui Qing's expression of relief just now turned into panic again.
"This...how can this work? You want me to take care of so much money? No, no, it's better for you to hold this money. Don't you still have to do serious things outside? There are many places to use money..."
Of course Hong Yanwu was happy again and continued to be poor.
"Okay, let's talk. Let me be clear. I know money bites my hand, but I already have too much money in my hand. I have more than enough to do anything. I can't even spend it. Do you have the heart to let me
Are you worried about being bitten by money alone? It’s so uninteresting..."
Unexpectedly, Shui Qing didn't feel "cold" by the ridicule at all. Instead, he looked a little worried and remained silent.
Hong Yanwu saw that she was a little annoyed, so he quickly changed his tone.
"Okay, okay, I'm not kidding anymore. What I mean is that the male is responsible for the outside and the female is responsible for the internal affairs. From now on, I will be busy with the outside affairs, and I will be responsible for continuing to make money. Who will take care of the things at home? Isn't it up to me?
You are."
"To be honest, holding this money is actually something you have to worry about. My husband's family has to rely on this money to pay for gifts and gifts during holidays and festivals. You want me to take care of it, just the interest.
How to save it properly will bore me to death. If all my energy is involved in these things, will I have the energy to do anything else?"
"To put it bluntly, I'm a rough-and-tumble person. If one day I lose all my money outside, I won't be able to earn extra money. Or if I offend the boss and get fired, then our family of three will have a terrible life.
What should I do? So if I hand this money over to you, I feel relieved and have no worries. Because no matter how difficult it is for me, I will never touch this money. This is the insurance that leaves a way out for our family to live a comfortable life.
"
Hong Yanwu said these last words purely to fool Shui Qing, but they did work.
When Shui Qing heard this, he felt that it was the same. There was no guarantee that the clouds would thunder and rain in that area, and it was indeed a long-term plan.
So although I still felt that the money was too high, I didn't refuse it anymore.
On the contrary, he said it seriously, as if he was shouldering some important mission.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of the money. I will never let you worry about family affairs. If it happens like you said, one day, I won't have any problems in our family's life."
And her serious attitude and demure and dignified expression, for some reason, made Hong Yanwu's hidden smile disappear.
Instead, there is a kind of appreciation and touching from the bottom of my heart, as well as the joy and happiness that makes people feel at ease.
So he couldn't help but took Shui Qing's hand and held her in his arms.
Needless to say, on this special day, at such a special time, what kind of hint does this kind of intimacy represent?
When Hong Yanwu kissed her, Shui Qing was so embarrassed that she couldn't help herself. Her heart was beating so hard that she almost melted.
Immediately realize that the most important moment is coming.
But after all, real life is different from the romance shown on TV and movies.
The two of them were very excited, but they couldn't really just fall down on the bed and start talking nonsense.
Then you still have to wash up.
So after being intimate for a while, Shui Qing pushed Hong Yanwu away gently.
He said very tactfully, "Wait a minute, there is no hot water in the house, I have to get the thermos from the outhouse."
Then he lowered his head and opened the door and went out.
After a while she came back, but she didn't expect that Hong Yanwuquan had already made the bed in a hurry.
And he stood in front of the bed and looked at her with a smile.
He actually said, "This bed is really good. My elder brother is very good at it. I just tried it and there was no sound at all..."
How can a girl like Shui Qing endure this?
At that moment, my face was flushed, my heart was so flustered, and I really had the urge to turn around and run away.
But what about this situation?
That's my husband, no matter how blatantly he acts a hooligan, it's legal.
She could only lower her head in fear.
"Then...then I'll pour you some water, and you can wash up first..."
Unexpectedly, the more she behaved like this, the more delicate and charming she appeared, and the more tantalizing she became, making Hong Yanwu's heart itch like a cat.
He was so lustful that he was almost addicted to teasing.
He picked up Shui Qing and put her on the bed. Holding back her pain, she insisted on washing her feet.
How could this Shui Qing be willing to let him do such nonsense?
It's completely beyond the tolerance level.
He exclaimed and resisted instinctively.
So the two of them got into a fight.
Later on, something far more exciting than the wedding ceremony comes.
Qingqing was gradually exhausted, and she watched Hong Yanwu take off her high heels and pull off her socks.
In desperation, he picked up the new spittoon beside the bed and flicked it against his head.
Who would have thought that with just one click, the new spittoon would snap to the bottom and put Hong Yanwu's head in with a "squeak" sound!
A tall spittoon with a red spray painting with the Chinese characters "Double Happiness" on it and a bell mouth pinching the neck. This is a "artwork" of a special era and a congratulatory gift from others.
When placed on Hong Yanwu's head, it resembles the ancient emperor's flat crown. It is simply too unique.
Deserve it or not?
Deserve it!
Funny or not?
funny!
I want you to make a fuss? Just make a fuss!
So Shui Qing was stunned for a moment, and when he came to his senses, he laughed uncontrollably.
In order to avoid being overheard, she covered her mouth so hard that her stomach hurt.
But with such evil nature, although it is easy to put Hong Yanwu's head in, it is not so easy when he wants to get his head out of this "hat" that can be used by Ding Kemao.
Because various organs on the human face have long edges facing downwards to prevent water retention when it rains, and his nose is pointing up.
Hong Yanwu took it off twice and didn't get it out. The screws and nuts fit tightly together.
All he could do was scream for help from the spittoon.
So when Shui Qing heard the muffled voice in the spittoon, she no longer cared about laughing.
I started to worry that something might happen to him, so I quickly came over to help.
But no matter how they pulled, pulled, stretched or pulled out, the spittoon seemed to have grown on Hong Yanwu's head, completely motionless!
You know, Shui Qing is a woman, she doesn't have much strength to begin with, and she is afraid of Hong Yanwu's pain.
After trying it a few times and seeing no results, I decided not to try it again.
I had no choice but to ask Hong Yanwu in the spittoon what to do next.
It should be said that although Hong Yanwu's eyes were darkened, he did not lose his cleverness. After pondering for a while, he actually came up with a trick.
He sullenly asked Shui Qing to get the cream quickly, and then used his fingers to apply lubricant on his neck.
After finishing wiping it, Hong Yanwu asked Shui Qing to lead him to the wall, pressed the edge of the spittoon against the wall, and pushed it out with all his strength.
It really worked this time.
It's a pity, it's such bad luck.
I watched the spittoon being pulled out bit by bit, and I couldn't get it through until I reached my nose.
It's just a little bit short, no matter how hard you try, you can't make room for this thing.
After struggling for a long time, Hong Yanwu became really annoyed and his temper completely exploded.
Regardless of such a pull, the impulse is the devil.
With so much strength, my hands went bald, and there was a "bang"!
The spittoon was tilted and hit the wardrobe directly.
The sound was so loud, like beating a gong, that the neighbors could definitely hear it.
Even Shui Qing was startled. You can imagine what it felt like to have Hong Yanwu with his head trapped in a spittoon, right?
The sky is falling apart!
At that time, I saw this boy holding the spittoon and turning the hat 360 degrees, and then sat on the ground unable to get up.
It also knocked over the clothes hanger, hit the water glass, and caused another loud splash.
Then my legs began to tremble erratically.
To put it bluntly, I was shocked to the point of twitching.
Frightened by the water, he quickly got some cold water and sprinkled it on both sides of Hong Yanwu's neck, and then fanned the spittoon.
Then he cried and asked what to do? Should I ask someone to go?
Hong Yanwu finally regained his breath in the spittoon. He smelled the aroma of the cream, and felt so wronged that he really wanted to cry.
Because don't forget, the spittoon has another name, it's called "urinal".
When word spread about this, someone arranged it and it became like, "Xiao Wu got into his wife's urinal on their wedding day and couldn't get out."
If this spreads out, and the shame that can never be washed away will be with him for the rest of his life, will he survive?
Just at this moment, Chen Liquan's worried voice sounded outside the door.
