Wu Jianye will definitely not be able to attend the marriage between Wu Shuangqing and Geng Xiao'e. Although it is Wu Shuangqing's wedding, Wu Jianye is the most promising person in the Wu family, and Wu Dahai naturally hopes that Wu Jianye can support him.
Keep up the facade.
As soon as he walked out of his yard, he saw two brothers, Zhou Tao and Zhou Hao, coming to him.
"What's wrong?" Wu Jianye asked.
"Go smash the flowers, didn't you agree to it yesterday?" Zhou Tao said happily.
During the Lantern Festival, flowers are smashed on the main road in the village. At this time, the rural areas are all dirt roads, so there is no such thing as the so-called difficulty in digging holes.
However, it was impossible for Wu Jianye and Zhou Tao to smash flowers on the street. They chose the empty space next to their home and planned to smash flowers today. It happened to be New Year's Eve next year, so they could take their family to see the flowers after dinner.
.
Wu Jianye said: "Let's talk in the afternoon. I have to go to Shuangqing's house in the morning. Today Shuangqing's house is meeting with the Geng family. I hope I can go there."
Zhou Tao didn't care and said, "Okay, I'll come back in the afternoon."
After bidding farewell to Zhou Tao, Wu Jianye walked towards the west end of the village. Their home was at the east end of the village, and Wu Shuangqing's home was at the west end of the village. In fact, the entire Wu family was also at the west end of the village. Only Wu Jianye's home was at the east end of the village.
.
It is inevitable that you will meet many villagers on the road, and everyone will say hello to each other.
It only took Wu Jianye more than half an hour to reach Wu Shuangqing's house, which was only a ten-minute journey away.
Wu Shuangqing's family also built a new house early. The three large tile-roofed houses are the most impressive in the west end of the village.
"Why so early!" Wu Dahai was standing at the door of his house at this time, looking at a house not far away with a somewhat proud expression. Wu Jianye knew what was going on. When Wu Jianye was reborn, Wu Dahai
Dahai told Wu Shuangqing about his in-laws, which was the direction he was looking at now.
In fact, things were going well at the beginning, and it was time for both families to talk about marriage. But the girl suddenly went back on her word and said she would never marry Wu Shuangqing, saying that it was not like marrying a fool. This incident made Wu Shuangqing angry.
Dahai was very angry, and the two families stopped communicating with each other from then on.
Now that Wu Shuangqing is married to the daughter of the former richest man in the village, and his son is working in Yanjing, he is naturally arrogant.
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "It's okay anyway, let's see if there's anything we can do to help."
After Wu Jianye's father passed away, Wu Dahai took great care of the two of them, and Wu Jianye is now reciprocating the favor.
Wu Dahai smiled happily and said: "I don't have anything to help with, just let your sister-in-law do it."
At this time, Wu Shuangqing also walked out, wearing a well-tailored suit, a pair of leather shoes that could be seen, and even some wax on his hair.
This outfit is not a simple suit sold at a street stall for a rural wedding, but an outfit that Wu Jianye bought for Wu Shuangqing, Dai Zhen and the others when they were in Xiangjiang.
This outfit alone is enough to offset the 30,000 yuan Wu Jianye invested in Zhao Xiaochun.
After seeing Wu Jianye, Wu Shuangqing was also a little embarrassed. After all, he was still not used to this kind of image.
"Uncle."
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Okay, after the New Year, you will be an adult. After returning to Yanjing, I will give you the courtyard house near my home as your wedding gift!"
Wu Dahai hurriedly said: "Why do you do this? It's too valuable, we can't have it."
Wu Jianye said: "It's okay, you don't have to shirk it. In the past few years, Shuangqing has followed me all over the world. Without him, I would have been blind."
Wu Dahai rubbed his hands and said awkwardly: "Isn't this what we should do? They are all members of our own family."
Wu Jianye waved his hands, not wanting to dwell on this matter any more: "That's it!"
After a while, Geng Xiao'e's family also came. Geng Xiao'e's parents were both doctors. They were dressed differently from ordinary farmers in the village, more like people from the city. Geng Xiao'e was wearing a red down jacket and looked very shy.
Wu Jianye also had an impression of this down jacket. Wu Shuangqing bought it specially in Yanjing.
Geng Xiao'e's father is called Geng Jinyou, and his mother's name is Xu Jingping.
Geng Jinyou also smiled when he saw Wu Jianye, "The second fat man is here."
"Yes, Uncle Geng, we will be a family from now on." Wu Jianye smiled and handed Geng Jinyou a cigarette.
Geng Jinyou saw the cigarette case in Wu Jianye's hand. It was a light green iron box with "Panda Cigarettes" written on it. He was one of the few people in the village who read newspapers every day, so he naturally knew that this cigarette represented "Panda Cigarettes".
What's up.
If you ask future generations what the best cigarettes are in China, most of them will say Zhonghua. Although there are many high-end cigarettes outside of China, Zhonghua is still the most representative.
But in the 1980s and 1990s, the best cigarettes in China were actually pandas in iron boxes.
When the People's Republic of China was first founded, the domestic high-end cigarettes were actually the '555' brand cigarettes produced in England. However, after the slogan of 'catching up with the United States and England' was put forward, the Tobacco Bureau asked the Shanghai Tobacco (Group) Company to produce special cigarettes, and then Shanghai
Hai Tobacco (Group) Company handed over this task to the Second Shanghai Cigarette Factory to produce this kind of panda cigarettes in iron boxes. This brand of cigarettes is the favorite cigarette of two generations of great men, so naturally it also carries this
Cigarettes are very popular in China.
But it is a pity that ordinary people cannot buy them at all. When Wu Jianye smoked these cigarettes for the first time, he snatched them from a senior leader of the Ministry of Culture.
Later, Wu Jianye fell in love with this flavor, but ordinary people couldn't get this kind of cigarettes. Wu Jianye asked Ye Daying and others to help at first, but the quantity was limited and could not be supplied at his speed. In the end, he had no choice.
I had no choice but to use Zhou Tao's face.
Whether it was his relationship with domestic high-level officials or his local connections in Shanghai and Shanghai, Zhou Tao could easily obtain this kind of cigarettes.
So Zhou Tao became Wu Jianye's cigarette supplier again, and Wu Jianye looted all the cigarettes specially given to him every year.
"This is a good thing!" Geng Jinyou said reluctantly while holding the panda cigarette.
Wu Jianye laughed and said: "It's nothing, isn't this thing produced just for people to smoke!"
After saying that, Wu Jianye gave Geng Jin some cigarettes, then he took out two boxes from his pocket and handed them to Wu Shuangqing, asking him to pass cigarettes to the guests who came over.
It's just that at this time, everyone's attention was on the panda cigarettes, but no one saw the twitching of the corners of Wu Jianye's eyes.
The landlord's family doesn't have much food left...
Although other good cigarettes were brought out, the villagers couldn't tell the difference between good and bad, but Wu Shuangqing had been following him for the past few years, and Wu Jianye would naturally give him enough face.
When the parents of both parties met, they mainly discussed the marriage issues between Wu Shuangqing and Geng Xiao'e. In fact, these issues had been conveyed by Wu Shuangqing and Geng Xiao'e before the meeting. Now it is more of a face-saving project.
At this time, marriage in rural areas did not require many requirements. Three houses with red bricks and white tiles and a bicycle were enough. However, Wu Shuangqing's situation was quite special. Because of Wu Jianye's relationship, he would definitely not be in the village in the future.
Yes, but even so, the house that should be built still needs to be built.
As for bicycles, looking at the car parked not far from Wu Shuangqing's house, what kind of bicycle do I need?
In this era, cars are much more powerful than houses.
This is why it happens that two people win a car or a house as a partnership, and then they turn against each other because of who wants the car.
At this time, Wu Jianye actually acted more like a mascot. He smiled when he spoke. At the dinner table, Wu Dahai excitedly talked about what Wu Jianye had just told Wu Shuangqing and them.
Something happened.
Geng Jin was even happier when he heard that his girl had married and not only had a house in a farmhouse, but also a courtyard house in Yanjing. This meeting was definitely held in a very harmonious atmosphere.
.
It was when I heard that Wu Jianye could not attend their wedding that I was a little disappointed.
"Uncle Geng, I'm really sorry. I really had something to do at that time and couldn't come back." Wu Jianye poured a glass of wine for Geng Jinyou and said.
Geng Jinyou suddenly remembered the news he saw yesterday and asked: "Were you in Berlin at that time?"
Wu Jianye nodded, "Yeah!"
"Oh, it's really you who was mentioned in the news yesterday. I thought you had the same name?" Geng Jinyou said excitedly.
Everyone in the village knows that Wu Jianye is the director, but they always feel that even if he is a director, he cannot be a very good director. How can he fly like a phoenix in such a poor village as his own?
So even if Geng Jinyou read the news yesterday, and even if there was a photo of Wu Jianye on the news, he still couldn't confuse the two people.
But now that he saw Wu Jianye admitting this matter personally, he was naturally extremely shocked.
When Xu Jingping arrived, he laughed and said, "I'll just say that person is Director Er...Wu...but you still say he's not."
Geng Jin tried hard to recall whether his wife had said this yesterday, but he couldn't remember it no matter how hard he recalled it.
Naturally, there was not much drinking during this meal. Both families hope that the marriage can be settled as soon as possible. Wu Dahai is because of Wu Shuangqing's age. Wu Shuangqing is already 26 this year. If he had been married in the village, he would have been married long ago, while Geng Jin and his wife
I'm worried that this matter will go viral.
So the two parties finally decided that the wedding would be on the Lantern Festival.
After finishing his time as a mascot, Wu Jianye also went back. Not long after he walked home, two brothers, Zhou Tao and Zhou Hao, came over again with Zhou Fei.
Wu Jianye changed his clothes, and several people went out to spend money.
On the way, Wu Jianye asked: "Are everything ready?"
There are actually two types of flower smashing. One is to dig a pit with a diameter of ten centimeters and a depth of more than forty centimeters on the ground, then pour in the prepared gunpowder, and finally seal it with soil. However, you must pay attention to the use when sealing.
Leave a hole in a thin branch to put the guide.
There is another method, that is, if the conditions are relatively good, you will prepare some iron pipes with a diameter similar to the dug pit, but much longer, with a hollow in the middle, one end is completely open, and the other end has only a small hole for the introduction.
Then put the prepared gunpowder in, with the empty side facing the ground, and smash it into the ground until it is solid.
Whether it is the first method or the second method, they need to be implemented thoroughly, otherwise it will be easy to create a failed product.
Zhou Tao said excitedly: "Don't worry, the guy's style is all ready."
Several people arrived at the venue, and there were already various types of guys on display. These things were all borrowed by Zhou Tao from the village committee.
You have to put it back after use.
The three of them didn't waste any time and started working directly. However, they still underestimated this craft. Although it was very glamorous, it was really troublesome to actually do it.
Several people tried several experiments without success. Finally, they had no choice but to invite Zhou Tao and his father over.
Under the command of Zhou Tao and his father, the three of them were truly introduced.
It is hard to imagine that Wu Jianye and Zhou Tao are already worth hundreds of millions. At this time, they are still very motivated to do such a thing.
They even laughed at each other's works.
It’s lively, it’s lively, and it’s happy.
But when Wu Jianye and others went back after finishing their work, they felt what it means to have back pain.
"Looking at how you are doing, your body is not as good as mine!" Zhou Tao's father said dissatisfied.
Zhou Hao held his waist and complained: "Brother Angkor, my brother and I are the same. What's so easy about this thing? I want to see the fireworks, but the ones over in Xiangjiang are not as beautiful as this one."
Wu Jianye and Zhou Tao did not quibble, but looked at each other and smiled. Some things are really not as simple as Zhou Hao said, such as the sense of satisfaction the two of them feel now...
"It hurts, it hurts...be gentle!"
There was a sense of satisfaction, but the pain in the body was also real, so when Wu Jianye came back, he lay on the bed, while Zhu Xian massaged Wu Jianye angrily and funny.
"You have smashed the fireworks today, so you are not afraid that children will order them for you at night?" Zhu Xian said with a smile.
Wu Jianye lay on the bed and said with a smile: "Don't worry, whose child can be so bored at night."
Zhu Xian smiled and said: "I heard that some people would light fires and play with wheat stacks when they were young. There were such naughty children at that time, so why can't they be there now?"
Although Wu Jianye was a little dissatisfied that Zhu Hao had insinuated that he was a naughty kid here, but thinking about what Zhu Hao said was reasonable, he climbed up on the bed and said worriedly: "What you said is reasonable. I have to let him go tonight."
Zhou Tao, go and keep an eye on it."
"Just be bad, it's so cold at night, how can you keep an eye on me?" Zhu Xian said.
Wu Jianye said regretfully: "I knew it would be smashed at noon tomorrow."
Seeing Wu Jianye's regretful look, Zhu Xian covered his mouth and chuckled.
"Okay, don't think about it. It's time to cook. You can lie down in bed for a while and then come out to eat!"
"Well, I know!"
While eating, Wu Jianye was still a little worried. He was going to have dinner to see if any naughty children were around. But what Wu Jianye didn't expect was that the naughty children did appear, but they were not other people's children.
By his side.
Zhou Fei!
"My son must go and see how the flowers are planted!" Zhou Tao held Zhou Fei's hand and said helplessly.
"Hey, the traitors inside are the hardest to guard against!" Wu Jianye sighed, then called Zhou Lin, quickly wrapped Wu Nianyi up, and went out to see the flowers!
