Chapter 87 Chapter 87 "You don't have a wife, so you naturally don't understand...
Finally, Cheng Jin rode his bicycle to bring people into the yard.
Jiang Shuangshuang pedaled twice and found that the object behind him was too big and it took too much effort to pedal, so he simply stopped and changed position.
The back seat was padded with cotton and had two footrests on the sides.
I wasn't blown by the cold wind by hiding behind Comrade Cheng, and there was no sense of urgency on the way. I just rode my bicycle all the way to the textile factory's compound, chatting on the way, and it seemed that time passed very quickly.
When the two came back, it was already around three in the afternoon.
When Jiang Xiaozhou saw his brother-in-law, he started to cheer and led his group of younger brothers to scatter red confetti into the sky, and shouted, "The bride has brought the groom back!"
After he finished speaking, a kid nearby asked in confusion, "Boss, didn't you send Shuangshuang off when you were sending the bride? Why did you bring the groom back?"
"It doesn't matter!"
Jiang Xiaozhou didn't understand either, but it didn't matter!
Rather than carrying his second sister out the door on his back, he would rather his second sister bring his brother-in-law back home.
Although the price he paid was to move into a wooden house, the treatment there was not bad at all. He had a new bed and a new desk. There was also a coal stove in the room with a charcoal fire burning. He didn't feel cold even when he opened the window to let in the air.
The new desk is piled with countless books, but there are always some delicious cakes and fruits in the corners, and there are also long-lasting snacks such as date biscuits in the drawers.
And I don’t know if my brother-in-law “drove” him out of the house out of guilt, but on the night he moved, my brother-in-law gave him a box full of bullet shells and said that he would take him to shoot when he joined the army in the future!
Where can I find such a good brother-in-law?
He was eager to ask his second sister to take him home as soon as possible.
Jiang Xiaozhou saw the two people in front of him get off the bicycle, so he shouted again, "Ready, get up!"
As soon as the voice fell, a dozen children nearby raised their heads and shouted with all their strength, "I wish my second sister and second brother-in-law a happy wedding, a happy marriage, and a happy life as sweet as honey!"
A dozen children shouted in unison, the volume so loud it was shocking.
The sound could be heard from several streets away.
Comrade Cheng Jin could no longer hold back his excitement, and he didn't know when the corners of his mouth started to smile. He was extremely satisfied with these children. It was a pity that he had nothing in his pocket, otherwise he would have stuffed each child's hands with a handful of wedding candy.
But he didn't have Jiang Shuangshuang, so he said to Jiang Xiaozhou: "Everyone has one, take them to get the wedding candy!"
“Okay!”
"Sister Shuangshuang, you are so nice."
"I wish my sister Shuangshuang and her husband a happy and harmonious life together!"
"!!" Cheng Jin couldn't hold it back for two seconds, and said to his brother-in-law, "Give this kid a few more."
Who can resist after hearing this?
The young guys swarmed over and said flattering words over and over again. If Xu Yingxia hadn't heard the noise and ran out, the young couple would have been trapped for who knows how long.
She hurriedly shouted, "Hurry, hurry, hurry into the yard as soon as you get here. Everyone is waiting for you."
It's not the time to have a big wedding nowadays, but setting up five or six tables in the yard is not considered a big occasion. The meal hasn't started yet, so some peanuts and melon seeds are placed on the table for relatives and friends to eat.
Seeing two people coming over, they all waved and greeted them.
Xu Yingxia pushed Jiang Xiaozhou and said, "Take your brother-in-law in to change his clothes. I have folded his military uniform and put it on the bed." Then she took Shuangshuang to greet the guests.
At this time, Gu Gaofei came over from the side. He had already changed his clothes and prepared a basin of hot water for the boss to wipe his body. "Boss, why did you come back so late? If I had known earlier, you should have taken the bus with us, so that you could have taken some time to take a shower."
After they chased out of the train station but didn't see the boss, they had no choice but to take the bus back. They thought the boss had come back a long time ago, but they took a shower, changed their clothes, and stayed in the yard chatting with people for a long time before they saw them come back.
What's the point of running so fast? It would be better to take the bus back with them.
Cheng Jin glanced at him and said calmly, "You don't have a wife, so you naturally don't understand."
Taking the bus is faster, maybe they can get back an hour earlier.
Or if he had pedaled faster just now, he could have arrived home 20 or 30 minutes earlier.
But is this a matter of time?
What he wants is feeling!
It is to feel the time of riding bicycles with Shuangshuang. He will never forget this journey in his life. If he hadn't thought about the many relatives and friends waiting in the yard, he would have wanted to go slower!
But Gao Fei doesn't need to waste his time on these.
What can a single man understand?
There is no point in saying more. He just took the hot water kettle and went into the house with his brother-in-law. When he came out, he was already dressed in a military uniform. His figure looked particularly tall and straight, and the aura he exuded was particularly eye-catching.
With the big red flower in front of her, she looks beautiful no matter how you look at her.
Not only Cheng Jin, Jiang Shuangshuang also had one on her shoulder. The two of them looked so dazzling standing together.
As the person in question appeared, the yard became even more lively.
Getting married is both exciting and tiring. Jiang Shuangshuang was glad that this was the only time in her life that she would have such an experience. Fortunately, time passed quickly and the dishes were served on the table at 5pm.
I have to say that Master Cao is quite fond of Cheng Jin.
He cursed harshly, and when he got angry he pointed at his nose and cursed, and even wanted to kick him twice.
But when the food was served, he found that Chef Cao had still met his requirements.
He couldn't do such a thing as making the sauce red, and he had no way of doing it. Although red is a festive color, it would look like a bloody mess when poured on the dish. Who would dare to pick up their chopsticks?
So he made a special trip to the countryside, used some connections to buy a sack of dates, and then took his apprentice to peel the dates for an entire afternoon.
Sticking red date peels on the edge of the plate is considered festive.
Mash the red date pulp into a paste, add it to cornmeal and steam it. It tastes fragrant and sweet. Isn’t it perfect for this festive and sweet day?
There aren't many dishes, but there are two big ones.
Aunt Wu had originally promised that she would prepare all the ingredients for the main dishes on the table on the day of Jiang Shuangshuang's wedding banquet. She did not lie and came here yesterday with the Xu couple, bringing with them half a wild boar and a lamb.
Of course, five or six tables of food would not require so much meat, but she also said that the remaining meat would be given to Shuangshuang as a wedding gift.
Chef Cao didn’t make any special dishes, but they had to be tasty and filling, so he served two large stews, one was wild boar stewed with vermicelli, and the other was lamb slices in clear soup with radishes.
The two dishes looked ordinary, but the aroma as soon as they were served made everyone in the yard unable to calm down and chat.
Even though he was still talking, his eyes would glance at the table from time to time, and he couldn't help but sniff while he was talking.
Apart from the two main dishes, the rest were some green vegetables and pickles. The green vegetables were also brought specially by the Xu couple. They picked all the vegetables from their own fields and finally asked the people from the team for a lot more, carrying two large baskets into the city.
The pickled vegetables are purchased out of Master Cao’s own pocket. They are the best he has saved in his closet. He starts pickling them in the fall and can eat them for half a year.
Whether it is served with pancakes or eaten with rice, it goes especially well with rice.
When all the dishes were placed on the table, everyone found a seat and sat down without any prior arrangement. They didn't even have the energy to chat, they just wanted to eat quickly.
But even if you want to start eating, you have to go through the process.
The dishes were prepared in the evening, but the chopsticks had not yet been distributed. At this moment, Director Wei walked up to the temporary platform with a piece of draft paper to give a speech.
In fact, it was called a high platform, but it was just a small platform made of two stools put together. After he went up, he cleared his throat first, and then said: "Hello, comrades. I am very happy to be here to extend my warmest and most sincere blessings to Comrade Cheng Jin and Comrade Jiang Shuangshuang. As... ahem, as the matchmaker of the two comrades, I am very..."
As he was talking, he couldn't continue.
When he was secretly reciting it in the office, he spoke with great dignity. After all, speaking in front of many people like this was already a common thing for him.
I am no longer nervous or flustered, and can express what is written on the draft paper very well.
But that sentence just now...
Not to mention others, even he himself could feel the trembling in his voice and he was obviously choking up.
I really can't help it.
Xiao Cheng and Comrade Xiao Jiang always remind him of the past between him and his wife. Those years were really not easy. It can be said that the two of them went through many hardships to be together.
When I think back to this, my emotions burst out.
He is the director of the Public Security Bureau, but he actually choked up at someone's wedding banquet. How embarrassing it would be for him if this were spread out...
But he had to continue speaking no matter how embarrassing it was. Director Wei couldn't stand it anymore, so he just took the draft paper and read it. He didn't care about whether it was adjusted up or down. He just wanted to finish reading it quickly!
The plan was supposed to take about ten minutes to read, but he shortened it to two minutes. As soon as he finished speaking, he got off the stage and hid at the back of the yard, fearing that he would be seen.
"Hey! This old guy has embarrassed himself so much. If he doesn't treat us to a drink in the future, we will tell his comrades about his embarrassing stories!" Mr. Zhang was so happy that he couldn't help laughing. It was a pity that he couldn't record it, otherwise he would have to watch it several times a day to have a good time.
Master Cao nodded while eating melon seeds, "Just do as you say."
After saying that, he pulled Cheng Jin over and said as if to take credit: "Look, I am more reliable, right? I don't know where the old guy surnamed Wei is crying now."
"All reliable!" Cheng Jin was actually very satisfied.
No matter where Director Wei hid to cry, at least he cried.
As for the shortening of time, he actually felt it was too slow. He had originally wanted to entertain all his relatives and friends well. After all, this was a once-in-a-lifetime event for him and Shuangshuang!
But now he just wanted them to have a good meal and leave quickly. Although the marriage certificate had been obtained, it was not until the wedding banquet that everyone knew that he and Shuangshuang were a couple.
That means Shuangshuang is his wife!
From today on, the two of them can sleep in the same bed!
"Boy, why is your face so red?" Master Zhang looked puzzled. He frowned and said, "Did you drink alcohol secretly? That's really not kind of you. How could you leave us here and drink alcohol secretly?"
"..." Cheng Jin didn't really want to pay attention to this old man, but he just followed his words and said, "Cousin, take your bowls and chopsticks and start eating!"
The dishes and chopsticks were placed on the table and the drinks were served.
Everyone is having fun and eating!
"Why does this wild boar taste so good?"
"This pickled mustard tuber tastes just right. Why can't I make pickled mustard tubers this tasty?"
"Mutton is delicious too. The meat is so tender."
"Stop eating, stop eating. Xiao Jiang and her man are here to toast."
He had to put down his chopsticks, stand up and have a drink with the young couple. After six tables, they toasted each other. Xu Tan, who was following them, was so drunk that his face turned red and he was a little unsteady on his feet.
As soon as they entered the room, Xu Yingxia hurried over to help him up, "Why are you so drunk? You are too honest, you just take a sip when someone toasts you."
There is a custom here that when a couple goes to toast, they have to be accompanied by one or two people to help block or return the wine to prevent the bride and groom from getting drunk.
Xu Tan smiled shyly with a red face, "I saw my brother-in-law drink it all in one gulp, so I drank it all too embarrassedly without even taking a sip."
“I drank water.”
"ah?"
Cheng Jin smiled helplessly, "The cup is filled with water."
He had informed his comrades in advance that anyone who dared to make trouble at his banquet would have to undergo double the training and would not be able to escape!
So his comrades helped him cover for him, and the cups were filled with water, thanks to them not being stupid enough to replace them with boiled water. In order to show his satisfaction, he decided to continue the training tasks as usual after the wedding leave, and would not let them make up for the workload they had missed before.
"Mine is also water." Jiang Shuangshuang waved the cup in her hand. She didn't need anyone to help cover for her. After all, no one was ignorant enough to force her to drink.
"Silly boy, I'll let Lizhu take you to the next room to rest for a while." Xu Yingxia helped the man out.
As soon as they left, the young couple were the only ones left in the room.
Cheng Jin was a little nervous, and was still thinking about what to say when Jiang Shuangshuang sat next to him and leaned on his arm. "I'm so tired."
Actually, there is nothing to do, but I just feel tired.
Now she just wanted to find a place to sit quietly, not wanting to move or talk.
Cheng Jin let her lean on him like this, and to make her more comfortable he changed his posture slightly, putting his arm directly on her shoulders and letting her lean on his waist.
This part is not painful without an arm.
When Jiang Xiaozhou came in with two bowls, he saw his sister and brother-in-law being intimate, and said in a strange tone, "Ehhhh~"
"Tell me to kick you out again!"
"...Oh." Jiang Xiaozhou, who was threatened, immediately became obedient. He placed two large bowls on the table and said, "Mom told you to fill your stomachs first. It will be our turn to sit down at the table after the guests are seen off."
There was not enough space in the yard for too many tables, and there were so many friends and relatives coming, so they finally decided to send some of the guests away first, and finally the family set up a table each and had a lively time.
Jiang Xiaozhou didn't dare to joke, but he still made a look at his brother-in-law when he left. Seeing that his second sister was about to glare at him, he turned around and ran out.
But he was considerate enough to close the door when he left.
"Master Cao's red date corn cakes are delicious. Would you like to try some?"
"Yes." Jiang Shuangshuang opened her mouth, but her hands did not move.
Cheng Jin understood immediately, picked up a small piece with chopsticks and fed it to her directly. Seeing her eat it bite by bite, he said: "When we return to the army, we don't need to set up a feast at home. We can go to the cafeteria and set up two tables. After we finish eating, we can leave."
When I return to the army, I must treat my comrades to a meal.
As far as I can remember, when several of my good comrades got married, they would ask their wives to host a banquet at home.
At first, he didn't really feel anything. After all, he was the type of person who came to eat and left after eating. After leaving, he just chatted with other comrades about whether the food was delicious.
But now he feels bad staying at home.
It's so tiring! Look how tired his wife is!
They still eat in the cafeteria, just like any other meal. After they finish eating, they leave. There is no need to worry about entertaining them or cleaning up. Who knows, they may even go for a walk around to digest the food.
Jiang Shuangshuang behaved very well. She took a bite of the corn cake and nodded, "I'll do as you say."
This is a good idea, and of course we have to listen to Comrade Cheng.
She didn't eat much of the corn cake, which tasted really good, but she still wanted to save some space for a big meal, so she ate most of the cake, and the rest, along with the two pieces in the bowl, went into Cheng Jin's stomach.
After sitting for a few more minutes, the two left the room together.
After all, they are the hosts, so even if everyone is eating and drinking, they cannot leave for too long and have to stay by their side.
We ate until about six or seven in the afternoon, when most of the relatives and friends had left, and only a few particularly close relatives were left.
It was just right for them to sit at one table and have a quiet meal.
"Do you want to wait for Jiang Xiaozhou..."
"No, no, just leave some food for him." Xu Yingxia was just thinking about taking a bowl to put some food out when she heard the sound of a bicycle outside. She turned around and saw Jiang Xiaozhou walking towards the yard. "How is it, have you sent Aunt Wu to the car?"
"I sent it to the car. I came back after watching the bus leave."
Xu Yingxia nodded in relief, "Auntie Wu is too anxious. Why don't you stay for one more day and leave together tomorrow?"
"She's just worried about Xinxin. Xinxin's belly is getting bigger and bigger. Aunt Wu has already spent the night here. How can she stay here any longer?"
Xu Yingxia thought about it and realized that if it was her own daughter...
No, no, you can't think in that way.
We just got married, and you're already thinking about babies?
"If the belly is really big, remember to remind Aunt Wu to take Xinxin to the hospital to give birth." Jiang Shuangshuang reminded carefully, "Her family is not short of money, so it will be more reassuring to go to the hospital."
"Okay, I'll tell her when I get home tomorrow." My aunt nodded. She said, "She will definitely listen to you, but it's really not safe to give birth at home. The people from the brigade next door... Bah, bah, bah, look at what I'm saying."
Halfway through her speech, she felt that some of the words were too taboo, so she quickly spat a few times and continued, "When you have a child in the future, you must tell your sister-in-law, and then I will knit some tiger-head shoes for the child and send them to her."
When someone mentioned children, his face turned red as if he was drunk.
"If my sister has a child, can I become an uncle?" Jiang Xiaozhou found a seat and sat down, and said excitedly: "I can take him out to play, he will definitely like me as an uncle!"
"You should graduate successfully first." Jiang Shuangshuang interrupted his beautiful dream directly, "Otherwise the child will have an uncle who can't even graduate from high school."
"..." Jiang Xiaozhou's excited expression froze on his face, and he groaned, "Can you please not mention graduation on such a happy day?"
"Heh." Jiang Shuangshuang just sneered back at him.
"..." Jiang Xiaozhou shuddered and decided to ignore his sister and brother-in-law and just buried his head in eating.
My future nephew, your uncle will definitely take you out to play.
Take you to catch ant eggs!
That thing is delicious, uncle is sure you will like it!
The meal lasted until dark.
When they were about to clean up, Xu Yingxia pretended to be busy and said, "There is nothing for you to do here. You should go back to your room and rest early after a tiring day."
Go back to the house and rest early?
We have all been through this, so there is nothing we don’t understand.
It was just really embarrassing when the elders brought up this topic. Xu Yingxia didn't even wait for their response. She just kept sweeping the floor with a broom, appearing to be particularly busy.
"Okay, let's go back to the house first." Jiang Shuangshuang was happy to be free, so she grabbed Comrade Cheng's arm and turned back to the house. Before going in, she said, "The house has been renovated. The right side is our room, and the small door inside is temporarily sealed..."
"Boss, boss!"
Before Jiang Shuangshuang could finish her words, a voice suddenly came from outside.
Cheng Jin's somewhat nervous and expectant expression immediately froze on his face, because he knew the person was Gu Gaofei the moment he heard it.
There is only one possibility for Gu Gaofei to come at this time.
That's what they talked about on the train.
Although he did not respond at the time, he heard it. He said that his comrade was called away on the night of his wedding, and when he came back after the mission was over, he could not recognize his wife.
At the time, he was still thinking that he was luckier. Even if he was late, he was lucky enough to get back on the wedding day, so he didn't end up...
No way?!
But no matter what he thought, he still walked towards the door, and when he saw Gu Gaofei, he asked, "Any mission?"
"right."
"Wait for me a minute." Cheng Jin turned around and didn't notice that Gu Gaofei still had some words stuck in his mouth. He had already walked to Shuangshuang and said apologetically, "Sorry."
"Go ahead." Jiang Shuangshuang waved her hands, looking nonchalant, "It just so happens that I'm tired today, too."
Cheng Jin pursed his lips, thinking that his wife was so nice. How could he not be angry when he had to leave her on such a happy day? She was just thinking about him, so...
"No, no." Gu Gaofei quickly added, "There is a mission, but it is not an urgent mission."
"..." Cheng Jin closed his eyes and then opened them again. Within two seconds, he heard Gu Gaofei's scream, "Boss, stop fighting. It was Director Wei who asked me to come. Otherwise, I definitely wouldn't be in your bridal chamber... Hey, I'll shut up, I'll shut up."
Cheng Jin looked at him coldly, "Speak."
"Oh oh." Gu Gaofei rubbed his sore butt and said honestly, "The army issued a recall notice and asked us to hurry back before the 10th."
"recall?"
"Yes, Director Wei will take over our mission tomorrow. After the handover, we have to return to the troops."
"I understand." Cheng Jin left a message and turned away.
then……
Then Gu Gaofei just watched as his deputy team leader walked into the house holding his sister-in-law's hand. Once the door was closed, he could no longer see anything.
Tsk, it’s just a marriage.
What's the big deal!
Jiang Shuangshuang, who was dragged into the house, frowned and asked, "Are you going back to the army?"
Cheng Jin nodded, "Well, you come with me."
"Then how do I arrange my work?" Jiang Shuangshuang had no objection. Now everything except her work had been arranged. Originally, the things she was most worried about were Xu Ma and Jiang Xiaozhou, but now she felt more at ease with her cousin protecting her.
"Don't worry, we'll discuss it tomorrow."
Jiang Shuangshuang raised her eyebrows, sat down on the bed, put her hands on the bed, looked up at him, and there seemed to be some different emotions in her bright eyes.
She raised her lips slightly and chuckled, "Oh, then what are you so anxious about?"
