Second Marriage in the 1970s

In a blink of an eye, January, Jiahui and the others rushed back from the provincial capital on the Laba Festival, and the school began its winter vacation.

"The preparations are almost ready. I played six beds of cotton wool, two double happiness thermos, mandarin duck porcelain pots and spittoon pillow towels, gift money for her to carry, plus another one hundred and eighty-eight bottom of the press box, and needles and threads. The box mirror combs these small pieces."

Ji’s family gave a lot of money for the bride price, it’s a lucky number, eight hundred and eighty-eight, the money, Zhang Qiaoer didn’t plan to keep it, and the bicycles and watches were naturally brought back by Meixiang. Only the tobacco, alcohol, and candy were kept by the family. .

With the return of the bride price money, plus the bottom of the press box and other objects, Meixiang's wedding outfit is definitely one of the best in the village.

You must know that in many families, the natal family wants to deduct the gift money. After all, many people are not wealthy and have many children in the family. They take turns to get married for the wedding, and the family is hollowed out.

"I bought woolen cloth from the provincial capital and came back to make a coat for Meixiang. In addition, these dragon and phoenix double happiness earrings are also our wedding gifts to Meixiang."

Originally, Jiahui wanted to buy a bracelet or necklace, but these are not popular at this time. The earrings are just right, but they are not overly ostentatious and make sense.

The price of gold in this era is affordable, Jiahui herself took the opportunity to buy some jewelry, and in the future, if the style is not good, she can melt it and make it again.

"Oh hello, these earrings are really well made, and there are paintings on them."

"No, the double happiness of the dragon and the phoenix implies auspiciousness."

Meixiang took it from Jiahui, looked and looked at it in her hand, and liked it very much.

"Thank you sister-in-law, thank you brother, it cost you money again."

"Married once in a lifetime. You have to marry happily. However, marry Zhenfeng. You must be happy without these."

"Oh, sister-in-law, don't make fun of me."

"Why, I'm embarrassed to hear it?"

Zhang Qiao'er also laughed, "Big girl, thin-skinned, I can't hear you."

"Then you have to get used to it. There will definitely not be fewer people making fun of you these days."

Meixiang pouted her mouth and said coquettishly, "I don't care about the others, just don't make fun of me, sister-in-law."

"Yes, Mika, after becoming a teacher, I can talk more than before."

"That's not it, the boss of progress is now a kid before, but now he looks a bit grown-up."

Zhang Qiaoer has always been proud of the fact that her little girl can become a junior high school teacher in the county.

Time soon arrived on the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, and Zhao's family got up just after Meng Mengliang. This day is the day Meixiang gets married.

It was warm in Meixiang's room, and there was a stove for heating. Meixiang was dressing up for Meixiang.

Put on top cream, put on foundation, and big red lipstick, hair curled up with hairpins, earrings with dragon and phoenix double happiness earrings, pair of silver bracelets on the wrists, wearing a big red woolen coat and red dress And black thick heel leather shoes.

That pair of silver bracelets were bought by Zhao Caixia and his wife. They made some money by opening a restaurant in the county. The days are much better than before. Another one. After the store opened, Meixiang and Zhenfeng often came to the store to help. What about this bracelet? , One is a blessing from my sister and brother-in-law, and the other also means thanks.

Zhang Qiaoer and Zhao Caixia were all in the room, watching Jiahui dress up Meixiang a little bit, and when the makeup was done, Zhang Qiaoer looked at her daughter with pride in her heart.

"Our house, Meixiang, is so beautiful."

Jiahui dressed up according to her own aesthetics. The makeup was extremely light, and she had the beauty of "naturally carved out", and Meixiang was shocked by her self in the mirror.

She never dreamed that she would be so good-looking one day. Perhaps every girl had imagined that she would be the most beautiful bride in the world on the day of her marriage. She used to think about it unrealistically, but today, she feels that her dream has come true. NS.

"Sister-in-law, thank you, you are so kind to me."

The dress she wore was made for her by her sister-in-law, and the earrings and hairpins were all bought by her sister-in-law. Of course, these are trivial matters, and the sister-in-law can't finish her three days and nights.

Thinking of this, Meixiang’s eyes began to sore. Today she is going to marry Ji Zhenfeng. He is a good man. She has been looking forward to the two living a good life like a prince and princess, but she also understands that after marrying, she can’t be like now. I often meet with my sister-in-law, and it feels terrible, even if my brother and sister-in-law say that they are married to a girl from the Zhao family, but they do not live in the same yard and become a family member.

Just like the eldest sister, she was once the eldest girl of the Zhao family, but nowadays, it is rare to go back to her natal family, and eventually she has her own small family and lives her own life.

Meixiang’s bridesmaid is a colleague of the school, Qin Qing, who is also a young teacher assigned to the school this year. Qin Qing lacks the luck of Meixiang in love, and has not waited for a "Supreme Treasure" who is here with colorful clouds. .

Meixiang was already dressed when she arrived at Zhao's house, and she couldn't recognize Meixiang when she saw her.

Even though Meixiang has a good foundation, there is still a big difference between makeup and no makeup.

"Mixiang, I really envy you."

"What do you envy?"

"You married well, and your family treats you well, I haven't seen anyone around me marrying more grandiose than you."

What Qin Qing said was completely truthful. She really envied Meixiang, but there was not a hint of improper emotion in this envy.

Meixiang smiled and nodded, "My family treats me very well, but you don't have to be envious. My sister-in-law said, what kind of pot is with what lid, no matter when and where, there will always be someone waiting for you."

Qin Qing was overjoyed when he heard this statement for the first time, "Your sister-in-law is really funny, how does she know that someone must be waiting for me? It must be comforting."

Mika blinked at her and said in a sly tone, "Because there is no girl in this world who can't marry, you just haven't met the right one now."

Qin Qing sighed and Meixiang said it was right. She really does not need people to introduce her to her. After all, she is a teacher, has a stable income, and is respected, but none of them satisfies her, at least none is like Ji Zhenfeng. That way, a handsome and upright man with a good family background and a good character.

Of course, she doesn’t have to find something that’s good. For example, she doesn’t look as good as Meixiang, but the other party uses one or two things, such as the one that is not good-looking, works well, or has a family background. Well done.

"I'd better wait slowly, I hope I don't wait to be an old girl."

After speaking, the two laughed together.

"Well, today is your day of great joy, so I won't mention anything about me."

"It's okay, anyway, I'm idle, let's just chat for a while."

…………

Today, the Dong family are also here. As the eldest daughter-in-law, Jiahui will also help to greet the guests.

"Your sister-in-law's wedding is pretty decent."

The Dong family came from the eldest brother Dong Aihua and his sister-in-law Zhou Yindi, who came to show favor.

"It's pretty good. After all, if you marry in the county seat, your husband's family is also someone with identity."

Zhou Yindi nodded, "It's really different for those who go to school. It's better to even marry someone."

If Mika hadn't been admitted to the university, it would be impossible to find such a husband.

"This illustrates the benefits of reading more."

"By the way, how is the house? How good is the vegetable harvest?"

When it comes to the land at home, Zhou Yindi has a lot to say.

"The cabbage and radish grow well. Your brother listens to you. You have already negotiated with several restaurants to supply them. In addition, the chickens at home have already begun to lay eggs. Forty to fifty eggs a day are collected by the supply and marketing agency. Our eggs taste more fragrant than others, the yolk is fatter, and there are double-yolk eggs."

I was worried before. Now the vegetables are growing well, the chickens are growing well, and the fish in the river are getting fatter and fatter. The family caught ten lamb lambs. Although the money I saw this year is limited, everything is still there. Moving in a good direction, the whole family feels that life is getting more and more exciting.

"When the first fruit trees arrive, the house will be busier."

"What are you afraid of being busy? The busier you are, the more you rush."

The whole family worked out the accounts together. There were fifty eggs a day, and an egg supply and marketing cooperative would receive five cents a day. A moonlight egg would have an income of seventy-five yuan, which would cost nine hundred yuan a year.

This is only the initial stage, and the income will continue to increase when the chickens are raised more and more.

In addition, waiting for the ten or so sheep to grow up is also a lot of income. After these two items are counted, half of the rent can be earned back.

Zhou Yindi really admired her aunt. At first, she suggested that the family engage in contracting. After signing a contract for 35 years, she thought it took too long to sign. Now looking back, I can’t wait to sign it for ten years.

Ji Zhenfeng came in a car, wearing a brand-new uniform. His left chest was hidden from the little red flower to highlight his identity as the groom’s official. The best man was a young comrade in the same team. He did not wear a uniform in order not to take the groom’s elegance A navy blue tunic suit.

There were also several other comrades in the team who drove two other cars to support the deputy captain.

"The bridegroom is here, the bridegroom is here!"

The adults and children were all smiles. The children clapped their hands and sang nursery rhymes around them, "The groom, riding a white horse, with a big red flower on his chest, the bride, in red, with a red hijab..."

The best man smiled and smashed candy at the door. The children stopped singing and all rushed over to grab the candy.

"Wow, baby candy, this candy is delicious."

"I have eaten it once, and my dad brought it to me from the city."

There are also those who can't wait to put the sugar into their mouths, and are instantly overwhelmed by the sweet taste.

Zhao Donglin Zhao Donghe was in the yard, Ji Zhenfeng came over, and Zhao Donglin patted him on the shoulder.

"Congratulations."

"thanks."

After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled.

In the hall, Jiahui accompanied Zhang Qiao'er and Zhao Manzhu. The old couple looked out the house eagerly. Hearing that Ji Zhenfeng had arrived, Zhang Qiao'er couldn't sit still, looking around and waiting for the future son-in-law. When Ji Zhenfeng approached, dressed in uniform, he was so energetic, that Zhang Qiao'er was so happy and reluctant to let her tears come out uncontrollably.

"Mom, are you too happy to cry."

"No, just so happy."

Ji Zhenfeng walked in with a smile, and bowed to Zhang Qiaoer and Zhao Manzhu, "Dad, Mom, I'll pick Meixiang through the door."

Zhang Qiao'er's tears burst out again when the voice hadn't died down.

"Hey, okay, Meixiang is in the house."

Zhao Manzhu held the cigarette stick, not knowing whether he was happy or sad, his voice was slightly trembling and hoarse.

In the room, Meixiang sat nervously beside the bed, and the bridesmaid Qin Qing stared out the window and saw Ji Zhenfeng entering the hall, and then seeing Ji Zhenfeng coming out of the hall into this room.

"Mika, here he is, here he is."

Zhao Caixia held Linlin and stood by the window with a smile, and said with a smile, "Today Zhenfeng is really handsome. You two, you are born with a talented girl and a natural-looking pair."

This sentence somewhat eased Meixiang's nervousness. When Ji Zhenfeng pushed in, Meixiang was smiling and bowing her head. At this moment, Ji Zhenfeng only saw the beautiful bride in front of her, and could not see anything else.

"Humph."

Qin Qing coughed and brought Ji Zhenfeng's thoughts back to reality. Meixiang blushed and raised her head. The eyes of the two met in the air, once again stunned.

Everyone covered their mouths and laughed, and some joked directly.

"The bridegroom officer should have looked silly when he saw the bride."

"Such a good-looking bride, I would be stupid to ask me."

"The groom is also very handsome."

Qin Qing stood in front of the two of them with a smile, and said to Ji Zhenfeng, "This Xi Niang is not so easy to take away, you have to show something."

Ji Zhenfeng nodded, "Of course, I am ready."

He turned his head to look at the best man Xu Zhiyi. Xu Zhiyi immediately took out a red seal from the Zhongshan suit pocket and stuffed it into Qin Qing's hand. Qin Qing was stunned, and Ji Zhenfeng also shook his head helplessly.

"Who asked you to give it this way, you have to give it one by one."

"This baby is true and sincere."

"No, there is no such thing as a red envelope."

"Looking at him, he doesn't look like a foolish man."

Xu Zhiyi finally realized that he was silly, but he couldn't take it back from the bridesmaid. He touched the back of his head awkwardly.

"The auspicious hour is coming soon, the newcomer hurriedly went to offer tea to his parents."

Ji Zhenfeng helped Meixiang walk to the hall.

Zhang Qiao'er's eyes were already red from crying, Zhao Manzhu was also smoking dry cigarettes, and when he saw his daughter and son-in-law coming, Zhao Manzhu hurriedly put out the cigarette.

After serving the tea, Ji Zhenfeng was about to take Meixiang away, and the mother and daughter held hands reluctantly.

"I just can't bear it, I have loved you the most since I was a child, and you have been with me the longest..."

Zhang Qiao'er held Meixiang's hand and babbled deeply.

"Let's live a good life with Zhenfeng from now on."

"Well, mom, don't worry, we will live a good life, and you and dad will take care of yourself at home."

The matchmaker saw that the time could not be delayed, and urged again and again, Meixiang finally got on the car, and Jiahui and Zhao Donglin, as parting off, also went with the car.

The car moved slowly, Meixiang looked out of the window reluctantly, Zhang Qiaoer and Zhao Manzhu kept waving their hands, until they could not see anyone at the intersection, Meixiang turned her head and wiped her tears.

"I'll add makeup later when I get out of the car, my face is crying."

Fortunately, there is no mascara or anything, so when I cry, I really become a panda.
