Every village would have one or two "village guardians." They were often simple-minded and foolish, yet kind-hearted.
The older generation often said that village guardians came to th...
In the fulfilling and busy daily life, more than half a month has passed in a flash.
In the past half month, Chen Wang has not gone into the mountains to hunt. He gets up early every day to sell lobsters in the town, and rests at home with his wife in the afternoon.
My daily income exceeded one thousand, and I saved nearly fifteen thousand in half a month.
The total deposit amount on the bank passbook has reached yuan, and there is more than one thousand pocket money at home.
As for the Qiang brother at the market, he never appeared again.
Chen Wang and his companion also heard from nearby stall owners that several young men beat up Brother Qiang severely that day, and when the police arrived, they had already run away.
Brother Qiang was taken back to the police station by the police. Later, someone made an anonymous report and provided some information about Brother Qiang’s past crimes.
In this severe crackdown environment, Brother Qiang will definitely not be able to get out in the short term.
Of course, it’s not just Brother Qiang who is eyeing Chen Wang and his partner’s business.
Other stalls selling lobsters appeared one after another in the market, with the price dropping from two yuan per pound to one yuan and a half, and finally to eighty cents per pound, starting a price war with Chen Wang and his companions.
However, after tasting it, customers felt that the taste was very different from Chen Wang’s.
Not only are some of them not cleaned properly, they even have a strong earthy smell.
All in all, those who followed suit have failed so far.
Moreover, since the cost of making crayfish is not low and requires various seasonings and spices, the stall owners who followed the trend lost a lot of money.
In addition to being busy with his stall business, Chen Dazhuang was also preparing for his second marriage.
June 22nd!
This day is the wedding day of Chen Dazhuang and Yan Yulan.
At daybreak, Chen Wang and Lin Xiuqin were awakened by the little girl.
The little girl put on a new set of clothes and asked Lin Xiuqin to help her tie two buns into her hair, making herself look beautiful.
"You are so beautifully dressed that if you don't know, you would think it's your brother's wedding!"
On the way to Chen Dazhuang's house, Chen Wang couldn't help but make a joke.
Lin Xiuqin smiled slightly.
The little girl held her sister-in-law's hand, glared at Chen Wang unhappily, pouted her lips and said, "Brother Dazhuang is also my brother!"
"That's not wrong, but I think you just want to show off."
Chen Wang smiled and said.
“How annoying!!”
The little girl blushed and gave him a punch.
Lin Xiuqin also slapped Chen Wang on the arm, reproached him with her eyes, and signaled him to stop saying that.
"Okay, it's my fault, it's nice to dress nicely."
Chen Wang rubbed the little girl's head with amusement.
"Ouch, don't mess up my hair."
The little girl angrily slapped his hand away.
Chatting and laughing, the family of three walked to Chen Dazhuang's house.
At this time, almost all relatives and friends had arrived and were eating the breakfast prepared by Chen Dazhuang's family.
After breakfast, we set out to pick up the bride.
Getting married these days was far less troublesome than it is in later generations. There was no need for a fleet of luxurious cars; a bicycle was more than enough.
Most people don’t even have a bicycle when they get married.
Breakfast is cooked white rice porridge, pickles, steamed buns and dumplings, all placed directly at the door. You can take what you want to eat, as long as you are full.
Porridge made from refined rice, steamed buns and dumplings made from white flour, this kind of treatment is already very sumptuous.
Many families do good things when they get married. If it is not a formal meal, they will use mixed grains in the morning.
Chen Dazhuang and Chen Wang have made a lot of money recently, so they won’t be stingy on today’s happy day.
Some people who were not so particular even ate as well, putting some steamed buns and dumplings in their pockets, or taking them directly home.
As long as it's not too excessive, no one will care.
Chen Dazhuang and Chen Jianjun were both busy at the moment and had no time to take care of it.
Chen Wang and the other two also did not have breakfast. After they reached the door, Chen Wang helped to serve three bowls of millet porridge, took some steamed buns and started eating.
Many familiar faces from the village were there.
Chen Wang held the bowl in his left hand and the bun in his right hand, eating while chatting and joking with Lao Qian and Lao Wang.
"Have you paid your share of the money?"
"I gave it to you. You haven't given it to me yet, have you?"
Lao Wang asked with a smile.
"Didn't I just get here?"
Chen Wang rolled his eyes.
"How much have you prepared? Given your relationship, you must give a big red envelope, right?"
Old Qian joked with interest.
Chen Wang ate the remaining bun in his hand in one bite and took out a red envelope from his pocket.
Seeing how generous the red envelope was, Lao Qian and Lao Wang's eyes lit up and envy appeared on their faces.
"How much does this cost?"
Lao Wang couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked in a low voice.
"Guess!"
Chen Wang smiled, put the red envelope back into his pocket, and started drinking the porridge in the bowl.
“It’s all about unity?”
Lao Qian followed up with a question.
Chen Wang smiled mysteriously and shook his head.
"You can't pack them all in one piece, there's not much!"
Old Qian curled his lips.
"It's not just one dollar, my brother paid 999 for it!"
The little girl suddenly took over the conversation.
"hiss……"
Both of them gasped.
Even those who were eavesdropping nearby were extremely shocked.
These days, giving three or five dollars as a gift is considered a large sum of money.
They had never seen or even heard of a big red envelope of 999 yuan.
"Awang, you are really willing to give it up!"
Lao Qian couldn't help but sigh.
It was considered a big red envelope, but he only gave 10 yuan.
"My relationship with Zhuang Ge is nothing."
