Chapter 53 Picking up the Bride

"I passed the unit test a few days ago." Xie Jingyan smiled slightly: "Because it is relatively simple, I got full marks."

"Listen to this." Luo Yulian said with a smile: "Er Niu still thinks the questions are simple. This perfect score is not something you can get on the exam casually."

"Didn't I say that you had a composition in third grade?" Chen Zhen kneaded the glutinous rice dough and said, "You didn't get any points deducted."

"No." Xie Jingyan shook his head slightly: "The teacher said that my current level has exceeded that of an ordinary primary school student, so there is no reason to deduct points, and it is not the final unified examination.

Therefore, based on the current situation, it is normal for my composition score to reach full marks in the unit test.”

Xie Jingyan is not showing off, these are really Teacher Ruan’s actual words. The main reason is that the requirements of the unit test itself are looser than the final exam.

"Only the second girl in our family can read." Luo Shang also said from the side.

"I look like you, but I don't like to read." Luo Jinlian glanced at Xie Ruyan, who was standing aside, and teased, "Is this another sign that my nephew is like my uncle?"

Xie Ruyan seemed stunned, and then said: "Mom, I was very good today and didn't offend anyone. Why are you talking about me?"

"I didn't say that about you, I said that your uncle doesn't like reading as much as you do." Luo Jinlian said.

"Mom doesn't say much. In fact, it's not that we don't like reading, but our interest is not in reading. You see, I like Guqin. Don't I work very hard to read Guqin music scores every day? And the teacher at the cultural station said that I

You still have talent for playing the guqin." Xie Ruyan expressed his dissatisfaction.

Just because she doesn't like mathematics and Chinese doesn't mean she doesn't like reading. She still likes piano music.

"I agree with Da Niu on this point." Luo Shang said hurriedly: "Although I don't like studying, I am still very good at the economics I study in night school."

"Forget it, you nephews and uncles can just talk about what you like." Luo Jinlian shook his head slightly.

On the wedding day in Luobu, both Xie Jingyan and Xie Ruyan took leave because they wanted to welcome the new couple on behalf of the Luo family.

One was carrying a borrowed tape recorder, which was playing joy; the other was carrying a brass stove.

The two of them lead the way, which is a custom in the countryside when welcoming a bride.

Here, there is a custom for welcoming a bride. The girl who welcomes the bride must be the unmarried daughter of the man. The closer the blood relationship is, the better. It is best to be a junior. If there is no junior, a commoner can also be used.

The two sisters in Luobu were already married, so naturally they couldn't be found, so they had to look for nieces or nephews.

Luo Bingbing is two years younger than Xie Jingyan, only six years old. Unless there is really no one, it is not easy to let her go.

So I chose two sisters, Xie Ruyan and Xie Jingyan.

Their sisters are also about the same age, one is eight years old and the other is thirteen.

Originally, Xie Ruyan was older and should be calmer, so it would be better for her to carry the brass stove, but it happened that the Xie sisters had very different personalities.

Xie Ruyan is more out-of-the-box, but relatively speaking, Xie Jingyan is more steady.

So Xie Ruyan brought a tape recorder, and Xie Jingyan brought a brass stove.

There is already a small charcoal fire burning inside the brass stove. It is hot, which means that life is prosperous.

Fortunately, it's the second month of the lunar calendar and it's still a cold day, so you don't have to worry about burning your hands while carrying it like this.

To pick people up, Luobu went out to find a tractor.

Nowadays, people usually get married with bicycles or better tractors. If you get married with a car, it will definitely be with a rich and powerful family.

Luo Bu was able to find the tractor because he knew the people at the freight station. Because it was a happy event, they were naturally willing to help after Luo Bu said this.

Helping to pick up people is a great job. Not only can you get wedding wine, but you can also get wedding money and cigarettes. Overall, your income in one day is a little more than working.

Xie Ruyan and Xie Jingyan sat down on the small chairs placed inside the tractor.

There was nothing I could do, the two of them were not very old, so I asked them to be the rim of the tractor, fearing that there would be danger.

The bride's name is Li Xiaoli and she is from Huangjiabu Village in the neighboring town.

It took the tractor more than 40 minutes to get from Luo's house to Lijia. It can be seen that it is still quite a distance.

Moreover, Huangjiabu Village is relatively close to the sea, so most of the people living here are fishermen.

Today's fishermen are not like later generations. No matter how poor they are, they always have a boat. If you have a boat, you are not really poor.

Today's fishermen are really poor, and their daily livelihood depends on catching fish from the sea.

The Li family is okay. Li Xiaoli's father can fish on stilts, so the family has no problem with food and clothing.

Others are not as comfortable as Li Xiaoli's family.

When Li Xiaoli married into Jiuge Town, even though the Luo family's conditions were not good, for the people of Huangjiabu Village now, she was still in a high position.

Therefore, many people came to express their congratulations.

Especially when the wedding guests came, they all came out to watch the fun and get some wedding candies and cigarettes.

Naturally, Luobu is not stingy in this aspect. After getting off the tractor, he will give candy or cigarettes to people when he sees them. It can be said that Luobu's emotional intelligence is not very good in this aspect.

Xie Jingyan met this aunt for the first time in her life.

In her previous life, Li Xiaoli was neither good nor bad. This was for Xie Jingyan and his family.

Probably because she was born in poverty, Li Xiaoli attaches great importance to money.

After passing through, the Luo Qi family no longer had any control over Luobu's money.

But when Li Xiaoli got money, she was unwilling to spend it. She would eat and drink whatever Luo Qi could afford, and she would also wear it on top of her clothes.

Although the old saying goes that when it comes to clothing, it takes three years to sew and mend, and three years to sew and mend, but when it comes to Li Xiaoli, it doesn't just take another three years to sew and mend, but it takes 13 years to sew and mend, and it's almost the same.

What Xie Jingyan remembers most clearly is that one summer, Luobu brought them a harvest of watermelons. After arriving at their home, he took off his coat. As a result, they found that the undershirt and vest worn by Luobu were all full of holes, which was no different from the rags they used at home.

Some people struggled and asked and found out that Li Xiaoli hid the money and refused to buy new ones.

But you have to say that Li Xiaoli doesn't know how to be a good person. She still pays attention to the gifts during the New Year and holidays. For example, if her family has a good harvest of fruits and vegetables, she will have them delivered to her relatives from the commercial port.

In short, in Xie Jingyan's heart, Li Xiaoli is a relatively contradictory person.

Nowadays, Li Xiaoli is still young and has just married. Xie Jingyan wonders if she should remind the Luo Qi family that since the family has not been separated yet, let the Luo Qi family be in charge for the time being.

It will take a few years until Luo Shang gets married. When the family is separated, Li Xiaoli will be allowed to take charge of the family. Over the past few years, I think Luo Qi's daily behavior will still have a certain impact on Li Xiaoli.

After all, this is Jiuge Town, not Huangjiabu Village. Being frugal is a good thing, but there is no need to use rags as an honor.

What's more, as time develops, the economy will also improve. Especially in this era, in rural areas, they can create their own economic life with just one hand.

There is really no need to be so skimpy on life.
