Starting from the Year 1960

Li Xu traveled to the year 1960. In this era, which he had never seen before and only heard about in books and from elders, the only thing he could do was ensure his family had enough to eat and li...

Chapter 441 A unique wedding

If Li Xu wanted to get married, he basically didn't need to make any preparations. He just needed to set aside a few days to make new clothes and wedding quilts.

This saves a lot of time because he doesn't have to find someone to build new furniture.

You should know that more than a year ago, Li Jiafu replaced all the furniture in the Li family. Until now, the set in the guest room has not been used, so it is very suitable for wedding.

There is an old saying in Tang County that "no marriage in the first month of the lunar year". In addition, Du Feng's wedding date is set for March, so it is not appropriate for him and Du Hong to get married so close together, otherwise there will inevitably be some gossip from Du's relatives.

There is no way. Many families do not have several stable jobs like the Li family. Instead, they rely on one person's salary to support the whole family. If they spend too much on weddings that month, will they still be in a good mood when attending Du Hong and Li Xu's wedding?

Because of this, Sun Xiu decided to postpone Li Xu's wedding date to give them some buffer time.

However, the sudden social education movement made all her ideas come to nothing, and she couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

Li Ping and the others echoed, "Right, you're not to blame for this. To be honest, we all had a hand in this. This was a decision we made together."

Hearing everyone's persuasion, Sun Xiu couldn't help but sigh.

Just listen to this, how can they have the right to make decisions?

Seeing her like this, Li Xu changed the subject and asked, "Mom, are you going to Uncle Du's house to help tomorrow morning?"

"Go, your dad and I will go there, and we have already asked for leave."

At this time, Li Jiakang instructed, "Third brother, my daughter, tomorrow night, you two will help your sister-in-law take care of Wenbo at home. If your sister-in-law feels uncomfortable in her stomach, you will quickly go to the neighbor's house to ask for help, understand?"

Originally, the Du family wanted their entire family to go, but they did not agree.

After all, outsiders don’t know what’s going on between the two families, and they might think that the Li family is greedy, so it was decided that only Sun Xiu and his wife and the brothers Li Ping and Li Xu would go.

"I understand." Li Chen and Li Ju responded.

After chatting for a while, everyone saw Yang Li and Du Lin coming over.

They came to talk about the wedding arrangements, and after they finished here, they had to go to the homes of other relatives and friends.

After hearing the arrangements, everyone in the Li family felt that they really had to notify in advance, otherwise others who came to the Du family tomorrow would think that the wedding was not going to take place.

the next day.

After breakfast, Li Xu and Sun Xiu went straight to the Du family.

When they arrived, they saw that the gate of the Du family's courtyard was closed. Li Xu did not knock on the door, but reached out and pushed it open. After the three of them went in, he closed the door again.

At this time, there were several people busy in the yard, but they didn't make much noise.

This was all arranged by the Du family to avoid making too much noise and attracting attention from outsiders.

Seeing the three people coming, Yang Li didn't hesitate and immediately instructed them to work.

Then more people came in one after another, and everyone consciously followed the arrangements.

night.

The gate of the Du family's courtyard was still not open, but the yard was full of people.

When it was time to pick up the bride, Li Xu, Du Feng and others walked to Li Qingxi's residence in the city.

This was also just arranged yesterday. The previous plan was to ride a bicycle to Xiawan Brigade to pick someone up.

In addition to the bride Li Qingxi, there were her parents, grandparents, and several uncles and brothers in the room.

As for other brothers, sisters and relatives, none of them came.

It’s not that they don’t want to come, but Mr. Li doesn’t allow them to come.

To be honest, he was quite reasonable. Yesterday, when Du Ming approached him to discuss new wedding arrangements, he agreed without much thought.

The group returned to the Du family, and after the ceremony, Du Ming announced that the meal was ready without saying a word.

The food on the table was similar to the one at Fu Qing’s wedding last year, with chicken, duck, fish and meat, and plenty of alcohol, drinks and cigarettes.

Among Li Qingxi's family members, the older ones could still control themselves, but the younger ones wanted to swallow the entire plate, with no manners at all.

Finally, Mr. Li couldn't bear it anymore and scolded them in a low voice.

They then restrained themselves somewhat, but their eating manners were still not very elegant.

Even though the house was full of people, there was still not much noise. Even those who were drinking and chatting kept their voices down.

To be honest, this scene made Li Xu think of the scenes decades later where some families secretly held funerals to avoid cremation...

He was fortunate enough to participate in it once, and the scene was extremely scary.

In the dead of night, with the courtyard gate closed, a group of people were eating in the yard without talking.

After the meal, they carried the coffin to a pre-selected place and buried it in the dark. Even the funeral procession could not make any noise.

That scene was so real that after he experienced it once, he never wanted to experience it again.

After a long time, people began to leave one after another.

Everyone in the Du family stood at the gate and kept expressing their gratitude for their cooperation.

When most people had left, Li Xu and some relatives of the Du family quickly cleared out a few tables, brought out the food and started eating.

Li Qingxi's family members finished their meal without any delay. They told everyone in the Du family to treat their daughter well, and then returned to their hometown.

Seeing that the only people left in the courtyard were the closest relatives, the Du family members came to the table and ate with everyone.

Everyone ate and chatted, and helped clean up after the meal.

We were busy until after ten o'clock, and then everyone dispersed.

After returning home, everyone went back to their rooms to rest without chatting for a few minutes.

There's no way, Li Xu and Sun Xiu are too tired after a busy day...

Even so, Li Xu couldn't sleep in.

Because the Du family still has some follow-up matters to deal with.

Early in the morning.

When Li Xu arrived at the Du family, he saw the Du Lin brothers moving tables to their neighbor's house, and quickly stepped forward to help.

These days, few families have so many tables, chairs, benches, bowls, chopsticks, plates and basins. If they want to hold weddings or funerals, they have to borrow them from neighbors.

You will naturally have to return it afterwards.

As for whether it will be delivered to the wrong person, I can only say that the possibility is small.

Because those things have marks belonging to each family.

Because it took time to identify the markings, it took a long time before the few people returned the borrowed items one by one.

Li Xu, who was resting on a stool, took a sip of tea and asked, "Brother Feng, where is my sister-in-law? Why can't I see her?"

"I'm going to work."

"Ah?" Li Xu was stunned. "She didn't ask for leave today?"

"No, she said she couldn't bear to give up her salary." Du Feng said with a bitter face.

Good job.

Li Xu really didn't know what to say.

You should know that Li Qingxi did not ask for leave yesterday and did not go back to take a shower and change clothes until after get off work.

This is not a big deal, after all, the wedding starts in the evening and there is still enough time.

But can I still not ask for leave today?

Could it be that last night had no effect on her at all?

Apart from anything else, this was the first time Li Xu had seen a girl who didn't ask for leave on her wedding day.

No matter if there is any real impact or not, most people will pretend to have an impact...
