At dawn on the morning of the third day of junior high school, Lu Shiyi climbed over the wall into the yard wearing a dirty training uniform. He went back to the bathroom in the guest room to take a hot shower, and then soaked the dirty training uniform with hot water and soap nuts.
Su Jin heard a noise in the room, picked up the baseball bat standing on the bedside table, opened the door in her pajamas, and walked out with light steps.
"Wife!" Lu Shiyi came out of the kitchen and looked at her peeking inquisitively. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. "Is this something to protect you?"
He looked at the baseball bat in Su Jin's right hand and the smile on his face deepened.
"Why didn't you come back all night? I didn't sleep well!" Su Jin didn't want to go to the village to hold the wedding banquet. It would be better to let Lu Shiyi rest for a day. "Why don't we just go through the motions and come back?"
Su Jin was about to say something, but seeing Lu Shiyi's serious expression, she changed her words.
"We must go back and hold the wedding banquet. Even the old man has mentioned this." Grandpa Lu believes that if the wedding banquet is not held, some confusion will cause trouble for Lu Shiyi.
Su Jin had no choice but to accompany Lu Shiyi home after breakfast. Su Jin slapped her forehead and saw Lu Shiyi wearing the sportswear she took out. Sure enough, Lu Shiyi had a great figure. He was wearing light gray sportswear, and his eyes were sparkling.
Lu Shiyi discovered that Su Jin was drooling over his figure, so he made an exercise plan for himself to keep himself in shape.
"Honey, what should we bring back?" Su Jin was thinking about returning to the village to get married, and she probably needed to bring cigarettes, alcohol and other things to entertain the villagers.
"I sent it back a long time ago. You should get two more packs of good cigarettes." Lu Shiyi reminded Su Jin, "The village rule requires you to light cigarettes for your brothers. I exchanged them for special cigarette coupons from my smoking comrades and bought three boxes of Zhonghua."
Su Jin took out another box from the space. Lu Shiyi compared the two people's Zhonghua cigarettes and found that the cigarettes were the same.
"Honey, have a cigarette later." It was also the first time for Su Jin to buy cigarettes from the platform. It would be troublesome if the taste was not right.
Lu Shiyi reached out and flicked her forehead: "Bring out another box. I'll send it to Wu's unit later. He's the only one in the entire military region who smokes Zhonghua cigarettes."
"Take this box of Zhonghua first and make sure you can tell if the taste is different." Su Jin was also a little nervous. "We also used the platform's pot and some meat for the New Year's Eve dinner. The seasoning was too strong and we couldn't taste it."
After Lu Shiyi finished his breakfast and washed the dishes, he took a cigarette and went to the next room to see Wu Jun.
Su Jin was mopping the floor. She pushed open the bathroom door of the guest room, looked at the dirty training clothes soaking in the big basin, put them into the washing machine in the space room, poured in detergent and disinfectant, and started the washing machine to wash the clothes.
At this moment, Su Jin was glad that her former home came with her. In order to cope with the rainy season, she bought a washing machine that could dry clothes.
"Wife, Wu Bu smoked Zhonghua cigarettes and said that the soft-pack ones are better than the hard-pack ones." Lu Shiyi was relieved.
He specifically bought a soft-pack of Zhonghua cigarettes, and Su Jin followed suit.
Bu Wu and the two political commissars specifically gave the jeep to Lu Shiyi, asking him to drive Su Jin back to attend the wedding banquet.
"Husband, if you drive back again, will someone say something about you?" Su Jin didn't want Lu Shiyi to be hated.
"Any officer who is getting married can go to the driver's class to borrow a car to pick up the bride." Lu Shiyi comforted Su Jin.
As the car drove out of the yard, Su Jin discovered that there were more people in the county town during the Spring Festival than usual. The nearby villagers all came to the county town to attend the market. The members of the Fourth Brigade did not come because of Lu Shiyi and Su Jin's wedding banquet.
Because of Lu Shiyi's wedding banquet, many members of the Lu family from the Fourth Brigade returned home with their families. When the jeep entered the village, children ran over from the threshing ground and moved slowly around the jeep.
"Xiao Jin, we're going to hold the wedding banquet here." Lu Shiyi stopped the car at the gate and stared at her with his fierce eyes. "Why don't you wear that bright red coat?"
"Wearing a bright red coat in the military area on the wedding day will make you stand out in the barracks, but it's not necessary in the village." Both of Su Jin's coats were newly made, which made her look decent as a bride.
Lu Shiyi was wearing a proper military uniform, Su Jin was wearing a goose yellow sweater, black trousers and high heels, and they followed Lu Shiyi to the threshing ground.
In order to prepare the wedding banquet for Lu Shiyi, the villagers got up at 6:30 in the morning, brought out tables, chairs and benches from every household, and washed the dishes and chopsticks from each household.
The women in the village who were good at cooking were busy around the stove, the men were chatting with relatives they hadn't seen for a long time, and the children were eating the candies that Lu Shiyi had prepared in advance.
Lu Shiyuan wore the Zhongshan suit that Lu Shiyi had given him two years ago and happily sat in the main seat. Grandpa Lu and Father Lu were not there due to work reasons.
"Village chief, you are the main seat today." Seeing that Lu Shiyuan and Lu Shiyi had a good relationship, the villagers hurriedly complimented him.
Lu Shiyuan knew that Lu Shiyi was very dissatisfied with his family. Because of the previous unpleasantness, Lu Shiyang asked Lu Shiyuan to bring a gift, but the person said that he was working overtime in the county town.
"Xiaoyi, are you bringing your new wife here?" Lu Shiyuan stood up and looked at Lu Shiyi and said.
"Grandpa mentioned on the phone yesterday that the main seats today should be given to grandpa, grandma, and mom and dad. Even if they don't come, they should be vacant. Uncle, as a member of the side branch, it's the rule for you to sit in the lower seat on the left." Lu Shiyi's lineage is the direct lineage. Because he has been working in the military camp, the affairs of the village were handed over to Lu Shiyuan.
Lu Shiyi has been here for a few years, and although there are some frictions among everyone, it has not reached the point of severing ties.
After Lu Shiyang got divorced, his mother Xia Xia disliked Lu Shiyi and Su Jin, thinking that they were evil and brought bad luck to his family.
"Sister-in-law, you are an aunt today. Why don't you sit on the podium? Instead, come to the kitchen to help." Several village women noticed that Xia Xia looked unhappy and were curious about what had happened in the Lu family.
Lu Shiyuan used the identities of Lu's father and Lu Shiyi to gain a lot of benefits for his family, and Lu Shiyi did not treat them badly in the past few years.
On the contrary, Lu Shiyuan's family became more greedy. If Lu Shiyuan had not been the village chief, the villagers would have complained about him long ago.
When Su Jin appeared in front of everyone wearing an A-line coat, the newly married young wives in the village became jealous, and everyone wanted to wear it beautifully on the wedding day.
During their engagement party, Lu Shiyi changed Su Jintao into a female soldier's uniform, and both of them held their engagement ceremony in military uniforms.
After the engagement, Xia Xia secretly leaked the betrothal gifts and betrothal money that the Lu family gave to Su Jin, which made many people in the village jealous. After Lu Shiyi learned about it, he directly warned Xia Xia in front of Lu Shiyuan and Lu Shiyang not to do anything small again.
"Alas...the old man in the imperial capital is the eldest son, and my father-in-law was originally a child from a side branch. Today is a big day, and the old man also has to pay attention to the rules. The head of the family has no choice." Xia Xia complained.
"This is what we should do. All the neighboring families are like this. There is no order without rules." The village women agreed.
