Chapter 117 Fried Eggs
It was already past five o'clock when Gu Ci rode his bicycle and took Chu Hong back to Lingxia Village.
The workers in the fields and at the reservoirs were leaving work in groups of two or three and going home.
Seeing Gu Zhiqing carrying Chu Hong, everyone's eyes became a little subtle, and they couldn't help but whisper to each other.
Nowadays, even if two people are dating each other and go out on the street, they won’t walk too close to each other. They will keep a distance of three steps to avoid being pointed at by others.
The man next to Song Lao Er asked curiously, "Is that your second niece? Is she dating Gu Zhiqing?"
Song Lao Er had already known that Chu Hong was going to get married again, and he took the opportunity to spread the word: "Yes, Gu Zhiqing is handsome and educated, and he is a good match for my Chu Hong, right?"
Later, the sister-in-law felt sour because she also wanted her brother from her natal family to marry Chu Hong, but was rejected. She said sarcastically: "Gu Zhiqing is from Lingtou Village, right? Chu Tong just came back from Lingtou Village, and Chu Hong is going to marry to Lingtou Village again?"
"Could it be that Lingtou Village is some kind of Feng Shui treasure land?"
Song Lao Er immediately retorted: "Are you going to die? You still dare to talk about Feng Shui treasure land at this time? You are #faith."
"Besides, who said that my Chu Hong was going to marry to Lingtou Village?"
The people around were attracted by their conversation, and many of them came over to ask, "Could it be that Chu Hong is looking for a son-in-law?"
"You have to persuade your brother. The educated youth are outsiders and cannot be trusted."
"That's right. The man in front of Chu Hong seemed so obedient in the past, but once he found a better man, he no longer wanted Chu Hong."
Song Lao Er waved his hand, looking unconcerned: "You can't generalize. Zhong is dishonest and paid the price for climbing up the social ladder."
Everyone thought about how Chu Hong ran to Shencheng and asked for a large sum of breakup fee, and they felt sorry for Zhong Guobing because the price was indeed a bit high.
"Besides, Gu Zhiqing is a progressive young man. His parents are both doctors and can find him a job, but he went to the countryside to respond to the call."
Even Song Laoer himself didn't quite believe this. How could there be such a stupid person?
If it were him, he would never go to the countryside even if he was beaten to death?
This big city is full of clean cement and asphalt roads, and you can also go to the movies and go shopping. How comfortable is that?
But that's what his elder brother told him, so even if he didn't believe it in his heart, he wouldn't say it out loud.
But someone nearby believed: "Gu Zhiqing is indeed a good comrade. He saved several children from the river before."
Song Lao Er certainly agreed: "Yes, it was his brave behavior that moved Chu Hong."
"I heard he reported it to the police?"
Song Lao Er finally said, "He must be here to discuss marriage this time, I have to go and see."
In fact, he already knew that Gu Ci and Chu Hong were getting married on the eighth day of February.
But Gu Ci was more generous. He must have brought some delicious food and also went to get some food and drinks for himself.
The people around laughed and said, "Then go quickly. When the date is set, let us know so we can join in the fun."
Nowadays, when people get married, only very close relatives will come to visit.
Everyone is curious now, will Chu Hong’s wedding be a big deal this time?
You know, last year, no, Chu Hong and Zhong Zhiqing got married, it was on May Day the year before last.
The Song family is having a grand wedding, with ten tables of banquet food?
There were also widowers in the village who married older girls, or widows who got married, but they were never celebrated with great fanfare.
The main reason is that people nowadays think that a second marriage is not a big deal and there is no need to make a big fuss about it.
But everyone knows that Secretary Song is really good to his wife and daughters. When it comes to his daughters, his thoughts are different from others.
"It's good that Chu Hong has a grand wedding this time. Youliang is generous, so she will definitely get to eat meat." The uncle couldn't help swallowing his saliva after saying this: "Last time there was wine and meat, which finally satisfied my craving."
The young man next to him was envious: "It must be a great feast for Uncle to still remember it."
But to such wedding banquets, only one or two people from the family would go, and last time it was his parents who went.
His father went to the table and his mother went to the kitchen to help. He still remembers that they brought back half a bowl of braised pork, which tasted delicious.
At this time, at Secretary Song's house.
Secretary Song listened very carefully to Gu Ci teaching him how to tune the radio. After learning it, he tuned it to the news channel and listened to the speech of an unfamiliar leader very carefully.
Chu Tong was already cooking dinner. She had kneaded the dough at noon and was going to eat vegetable noodles in the evening.
But thinking that Gu Ci was there too, she asked her mother, "Do you want to fry two eggs?"
Wu Xiu was much more generous than her daughter: "One fried egg per person."
It just so happened that during these two days, Chu Hong walked around the village and collected more than 300 eggs.
Of course Chu Hong’s explanation to others was that she had to go to the town for a meeting, and if there were eggs at home that needed to be sent to the purchasing station, she could do it for them.
Then everyone would definitely agree.
It is more than 20 miles from Lingxia Village to the purchasing station, and the roads in the country are bumpy. Even if the eggs are padded with husks, one or two can easily be broken if you are not careful.
The purchasing station will not accept it, so you can only take it home and eat it yourself.
Now Chu Hong is willing to help them take it there, which saves a lot of trouble.
The reason why Chu Hong was so kind was that she had run out of eggs at home, and she had already promised to send some to the He family, so she decided to give a big gift.
I sent a dozen eggs to Mr. Chu and his family yesterday, and now I have sent sixty eggs to the He family. There are still more than two hundred eggs left at home. Wu Xiu has been looking forward to eating poached eggs for a long time.
Chu Tong responded and started pouring oil to fry the eggs.
When Chu Hong saw her second uncle coming in, she said, "Sister, fry four more and let her second uncle take them back to add to the dishes for grandpa and grandma."
You know what, the fried eggs are delicious and full of oil. Song Laoer ate one fried egg and put three more in his lunch box before going back satisfied.
Gu Ci waited until Secretary Song finished listening to the news before speaking: "Uncle, I want to buy a sewing machine and a bicycle tomorrow."
Chu Hong also came over with a basket and showed her parents what she had bought today: "Three pounds of fruit candies, cloth, fifteen packs of cigarettes, and two pounds of sugar."
"I didn't buy any wine today because I was afraid the bottles would get bumped, but I have six tickets for Red Star Erguotou."
"There are also five catties of meat coupons and twenty-five catties of grain coupons."
When Secretary Song saw his second daughter's proud and happy look, he felt a little helpless: You are going to get married, so you have to pretend to be shy, right?
Moreover, cigarettes, alcohol, candy and other things should also be prepared by their parents.
But seeing how happy they were, Secretary Song didn't say much, he just said, "I'll go buy some tomorrow in the ox cart, your mother also has to go to the hospital to get medicine."
Then he said to Gu Ci: "Chu Hong is right. We already have a bicycle at home, so there is no need to buy this one. Otherwise, it will attract too much attention."
"You can exchange the ticket for something else, or you can keep it for now and give it to someone as a gift."
Afraid that Gu Ci didn't understand, he added, "You never know when your uncle and his family will need help from others."
