Chapter 108: Marriage
Secretary Su asked Li Xun to come in and stated his conditions in a gentle manner.
Li Xun readily agreed: "Okay, I'll write the letter when I get back and send it out tomorrow."
When the Su brothers heard him agree so readily, they thought he came from a well-off family and felt sorry that their father asked for too little.
Secretary Su's expression became better, and he said to his wife, "Go get the bacon from the kitchen."
Although Aunt Su didn't understand why he wanted bacon so late at night, she obediently went to the kitchen and brought out a piece of bacon weighing about two pounds.
Secretary Su went to the educated youth site with a flashlight in one hand and bacon in the other and gathered them together.
She first said that her daughter was dating Li Xun, and then blamed herself for their lack of self-control.
He also said that Li Xun had already proposed, and his family had received the betrothal gifts, and he would come to distribute wedding candies to everyone tomorrow.
Finally, he gave the bacon to the team leader of the educated youth, saying that everyone had worked hard, and that the educated youth had worked hard to support agricultural production and actively participated in labor. In the future, he would try his best to get them the opportunity to return home to visit their relatives.
The educated youth also understood that Secretary Su was there to silence them.
He also reminded them that whether they could go back to visit their families depended on whether he could show mercy.
Therefore, the team leader of the educated youth also said that they would never go out and talk nonsense.
"I believe you." Secretary Su looked ashamed and said, "It's all my fault for not teaching my daughter well."
"But it will be bad for your reputation if it gets out. I am most afraid of affecting the reputation of you educated youth."
This is to remind them that the educated youth are registered in the village.
Finally, Secretary Su looked at Gu Ci again before turning and leaving.
Gu Ci also noticed that the educated youth team leader sent him out and was delayed for nearly half an hour before returning.
By the next day, only three male educated youth came to Lingshang Village to work.
In order to facilitate people who travel far away, an old lady is specially asked to boil water here, and they can also bring lunch boxes to steam rice.
However, Gu Ci did not bring a lunch box, because his future father-in-law told him yesterday to come home for lunch.
Gu Ci is a very obedient person and will definitely not refuse the kindness of his future father-in-law.
As soon as the gong sounded to signal the end of work, Gu Ci ran to the Song family.
Chu Hong is the chef today and Xiao Yuer is the one making the fire.
When he got home, Chu Hong had already served the dishes: half a basin of stewed chicken with potatoes, two plates of stir-fried vegetables, and a small plate of stir-fried chicken offal with dried red peppers.
"It smells so good!" Gu Ci leaned close to her and praised in a low voice: "You are such a good cook. Teach me more when you have time in the future, so that I can replace you."
"Otherwise you're working too hard."
Chu Hong was somewhat moved after hearing this.
She hated cooking the most, but she didn't expect him to be so considerate, which made her feel that it would be a good idea to marry him.
She took another lunch box, filled it up and handed it to him: "Send it to Chuchu and the others, then come back for dinner."
He picked up another large lunch box, put the remaining potatoes and chicken stew in the pot into the large lunch box, and prepared to send it to his second uncle and others.
Since grandpa and grandma are eating at my second uncle's house now, if there is anything delicious at home, we must send some over.
Although the feathers of this big rooster weigh more than seven pounds, its net weight is only about five pounds.
Even if five or six kilograms of potatoes were added, a lunch box could only hold two kilograms at least. Even if it was half a basin, it was only enough for Chu Hong and the others to have one meal.
Of course, only Chu Hong and her family are willing to eat like this. If it were a more frugal family, they would just put some salt on the chicken. How long can a chicken last for a month?
Gu Ci responded, put the lunch box in the basket, turned around and walked out.
Chu Hong also put the lunch box into the basket. When she went out, she saw her father coming back on his bicycle. She immediately handed the basket to him and said, "Dad, give it to my second uncle and the others while it's hot."
Secretary Song turned the front of his bike around, hung the basket on the handlebars, got on the bike and rode away.
It takes seven or eight minutes to walk, but only three minutes for him to ride a bike.
When I arrived at Song Laoer's house, I saw a bowl of stewed eggs, fried vegetables and fried radishes on the table.
The stewed egg was placed in front of the second son's wife. She scooped half of it into her own bowl. When she saw Secretary Song coming in, she immediately scooped the remaining egg custard into Grandpa Song and Grandma Song's bowls: "Dad and Mom, you guys should eat more too."
Then she said to Secretary Song in an embarrassed tone, "They all insisted that I eat more. The baby in my belly is really lucky."
After she gave birth to a son, she always felt that she was a great contributor to the Song family. She was not afraid of her sister-in-law or her parents-in-law, but she was afraid of Secretary Song.
Seeing him was like a mouse seeing a cat.
The main reason was that before the family split up, she felt that her eldest sister-in-law Chengfeng was a bad person and had given birth to three daughters in a row, so she naturally looked down on her.
Unexpectedly, she was caught by Secretary Song, who slapped her in the face and told her to get out.
His husband went forward to persuade him, but he was beaten by the man by grabbing the door bolt.
That was a really solid beating, which frightened her to death. From then on, she never dared to be arrogant in front of Secretary Song again.
Now she is afraid that Secretary Song will feel that he has wronged the two elderly people and asks them to go back. Wouldn’t she cry to death then?
The main thing is that the two elderly people are really capable and she doesn’t have to do any cleaning, washing clothes or cooking.
It really made her feel more relaxed.
Secretary Song also knew his sister-in-law's personality, so he didn't say anything to her. He just put the lunch box on the table and said, "We killed a chicken at home and brought you some food."
Song Lao Er and his own brother were not polite and quickly opened the lid: "My brother is still thinking about me, it smells so good."
He first picked up some chicken for his parents, then for his wife, and finally for himself.
After taking a bite, he was overwhelmed with joy: "It smells delicious, really delicious, fragrant and spicy. I can eat an extra bowl of rice with this delicious dish."
Grandpa Song and Grandma Song also urged their eldest son: "You should go back and eat soon, too?"
Nowadays, when most people cook, there is not enough to eat and there is rarely any left.
Secretary Song responded and walked out: "Bring your lunch boxes back in the evening."
Seeing that Secretary Song had left, Wu Qiaofang quickly went to get a large bowl and put half of the food into it: "It's too much. Save it for another meal tomorrow."
She felt very sorry: "It's a pity that Weibin went to school, so he can't eat such delicious food."
Grandpa Song was not used to it: if he were at the old house and there were such delicious dishes, his granddaughter would definitely pour him some wine.
The boss would also advise them to eat more.
The eldest son’s wife would also say to eat it while it’s hot, otherwise it will no longer be fresh if left for the next meal.
But now?
It's another day when I miss going back to my old home to live.
When Party Secretary Song returned home, wine was poured for him. As soon as he sat down, everyone started eating.
Gu Ci did not forget to tell the Song family what happened in their room at the Youth League Point yesterday.
Finally, he looked uneasy and said, "I really don't want to go back now. I'm afraid of being plotted against."
"It's really hard to guard against it." Wu Xiu looked at her man: "Do you have any good ideas?"
Although Su Jinxiang did not succeed, she was afraid that other girls would take a fancy to Gu Ci and follow his example to harm others.
Secretary Song shook his head: "If it gets out of hand, it will become a conflict between the two villages."
When he said that, Wu Xiu also thought of the water shortage in the summer before. The two villages had fought over river water to irrigate the fields, and there had been deaths.
