"Everyone, please help clean up these dishes."
"Old Song, have you brought the table and dishes we borrowed from the neighbors?"
"Oh, you're all still yawning! Today is Tianshun's wedding day, so all of you need to pay attention."
Song Jiayu was woken up before five in the morning, with drooping eyelids. She had played the game of disciple and master with Brother Bai Zhou last night, and she just wanted to crawl into bed and take another nap.
Suddenly, a cold towel was thrown on my face.
Hum.
The person who was still sleeping was awakened by the stimulation.
Song Jiayu glared at the man and was about to find Song Beiwang to settle the score, but the younger brother made a face and pointed at Song's mother and said, "Our mother ordered it, there is nothing I can do."
Song Jiayu:!!!
At least her sleepiness was gone and she started to help.
Today is January 1, 1965, the wedding day of Song Tianshun and Tao Meng.
Although the weather is cold, the hearts of the Song family are warm.
This time the wedding banquet was not held in the small courtyard, but in the large courtyard where Song Tianshun was allocated a house.
The firewood piled up outside was burning brightly, the hot water in the big pot was boiling and bubbling, and the woman who was asked to help was washing vegetables in a mixture of hot and cold water.
“I didn’t expect there would be hot water!”
"Qiuqin's family is still very good."
"I saw today's meat dishes. They are simply too extravagant."
"Their son-in-law, Jiang, an electrician, is already a level eight technician, their daughter is a level eleven technician, and even the second child, who got married today, has been promoted to a higher level. The three of them have earned nearly two hundred in total."
"Oh my God, how can there be three smart people in one family!"
"Why not? You know what? The bride is a small clerk in the propaganda department of the military factory."
“…”
With everyone talking, the most lively scene of the day arrived.
A row of five bicycles and a tricycle were driving on the street of Tianshui Lane. The big red flowers tied to the front of the bicycles and the red ribbons tied to the vehicles behind them showed that this was a wedding procession.
In this era, it was also considered a very powerful team for welcoming the bride.
Probably similar to Mercedes-Benz and BMW in later generations?
The leading Song Tianshun is the protagonist today.
Tao Meng's home is not in Tianshui Lane.
After the wedding procession left Tianshui Lane and walked along the main street, the pedestrians on the street were far less cheerful than in later generations, but their eyes did give the newlyweds a little congratulations.
"Here he comes, here he comes, the bridegroom is here."
The Tao family is also bustling today.
The first sound was the crackling sound of firecrackers.
Tao's father and mother as well as Tao Meng's two brothers and sisters-in-law were all there. They blocked the door and gave the wedding party the first pass. After giving them a lot of good cigarettes and scattering a few handfuls of good candies, they entered the Tao family's gate.
But when he got the beauty, he fell into the second level.
Due to the difficulties caused by Tao Meng's good sister, Song Tianshun personally promised a lot of things before carrying Tao Meng out of the house. At the same time, Song Jiayu and others were moving Tao Meng's dowry.
The most precious items are a sewing machine and a radio, which are conspicuous and luxurious, and attract more attention.
"The Song family gave a sewing machine as a betrothal gift, and the Tao family wasn't one to sell their daughters. They gritted their teeth and bought a radio as a dowry. This young couple will have a good life."
"That's right. The adults on both sides are thinking about the young couple."
“…”
Tao Meng, who was sitting on the back of the bicycle, reached out and grabbed Song Tianshun who was riding. Her heart was pounding wildly. She would live with Song Tianshun from now on, but she didn't feel any fear in her heart, only yearning. Perhaps it was because Song Tianshun gave her too much sense of security.
Tao Meng looked at the people in the wedding procession, met Song Jiayu's gaze, smiled shyly, and then looked at Song Beiwang, who was riding the last one on the tricycle, and couldn't help laughing. It seemed that his little brother was almost desperate because of the weight of the tricycle.
They returned to Tianshui Lane. Tao Meng had been to the new house many times and was very familiar with it.
Faced with the enthusiastic congratulations from the people in the compound, Tao Meng was still shy.
Sitting on the kang in the room, I finally relaxed.
"Sit down for a while. I'll go out and toast with Tianshun later. By the way, are you hungry?"
The kind elder sister stayed in the room and talked to Tao Meng, which made people feel less nervous.
But not long after, Song Jiayu went out, leaving the two little kids in the house to accompany their aunt.
There were three tables in total today, each with nine dishes, including braised fish, seafood, radish and pork ribs soup, potato stewed chicken, etc. There were four meat dishes and five vegetarian dishes, which were far inferior to modern ones. But in the eyes of those who came to the banquet, it was a very good banquet, not to mention that the two chefs today had very good cooking skills.
As soon as the banquet started, the newlyweds began to toast.
After a round of toasts, Tao Meng returned to the house again. There was a clean meal on the table. She finished her dinner with a smile.
It's late at night.
In a room with only newlyweds.
At this moment, even though the two of them had been together day and night for a while, they still began to feel shy.
"I..." Tao Meng was about to speak.
After being shushed by Song Tianshun, he looked at him confusedly, wanting to know why.
Song Tianshun, who knew his sister's personality, took Tao Meng's hand, and the two of them tiptoed to the window. They didn't say anything, but communicated with their eyes and actions.
Song Tianshun pointed out the window: Do you think there is anyone outside?
Tao Meng also thought of Sister Jiayu's character of loving to watch a show, and said: Are the two of us really going to become a show tonight?
Song Tianshun raised his head and said: Just open the window and you will know.
Tao Meng nodded.
The newlywed couple opened the window.
Just then, I saw a person with his ear pressed against the window.
Both of them: ...
Song Jiayu:!!!
"Ahem."
"I'm here to look for the bowl, don't get me wrong."
"Really? Where is the bowl that Lin Xue borrowed? This is the only one missing."
As they were talking, Song Jiayu disappeared from the sight of the new couple.
Song Tianshun closed the window and pulled Tao Meng back to sit on the kang. The two looked at each other and laughed out loud.
"Oh my! I'm dying of laughter! How did you know Sister Jiayu would be there?"
"I'm not sure, I'm just trying it out. I don't know for sure."
"Then tonight...will Sister Jiayu still come?"
"Knowing that we are prepared, they won't come again."
The newlywed couple looked at each other and then looked away awkwardly, feeling that the other person was like burning firewood. Just by looking at them, they felt that the fire was being drawn to them and burning them.
"Let's... go to bed..."
"good……"
That night, no matter which direction the wind blew, the warmth in the cabin seemed to make the seeds sprout and bloom like the arrival of spring.
…
Song Jiayu struggled to get out of the picture: "Hey! Where's me? Author, have you forgotten me?"
