In the era when every household relied on work points---
When it comes to getting married, you don't have money to invite people to the wedding banquet.
Even if you have it, you can't use it to invite people to wedding banquets.
Throwing a banquet is extravagant and will label you as a rich man or a capitalist and you will be sanctioned.
So, after Chu Qi and Zhuang Xiaolan successfully proposed, they took a pot of wine sent by their parents and went to discuss the wedding date with their father-in-law.
Zhuang Aiguo had no objection, so he cooked two dishes and started chatting with Chu Qi while drinking.
As they drank and chatted, they decided on the wedding date.
bride price---
Without a dowry, Chu Qi moved directly into Zhuang Xiaolan's house.
Although it is not marrying into the wife's family, it is better than marrying into the wife's family.
***
The rumor that Chu Qi was going to get married spread throughout the village, and Zhuang Chunxing also heard the rumor. At this moment, at the urging of her father, she started dating a young man.
But when she heard the news of Chu Qi's marriage, she felt uncomfortable and always wanted to do something.
She secretly made an appointment with Zhao Zhiqing and complained to him.
Zhao Zhiqing got excited and took the initiative to give Zhuang Chunxing some advice, suggesting that they should destroy Zhuang Xiaolan so that Chu Qi would not marry her.
Zhao Zhiqing not only provided ideas but also acted as the executor of their implementation.
One evening, Zhao Zhiqing sneaked to the outside of Zhuang Xiaolan's house. When Zhuang Xiaolan went out, he hugged her and was about to kill her.
He was controlled by Zhuang Aiguo who rushed over after hearing the news and was sent to the brigade.
Indecent assault ---
Zhao Zhiqing was severely criticized.
Zhuang Chunxing was fine.
***
Zhuang Xiaolan lay in the room and refused to go out. Although she resisted when Zhao Zhiqing pounced on her, she couldn't get over the hurdle of being hugged by him.
The place where I was hugged feels itchy, and I wish I could rub off a layer of skin.
It wasn't until Chu Qi came to comfort her that she finally let go of her worries.
On the wedding day, Chu Qi moved all her things into Zhuang Xiaolan's house quickly.
Zhuang Xiaolan's room was not big. Not long after she moved in, Chu Qi and Zhuang Aiguo built a new room together and merged it with Zhuang Xiaolan's room. Zhuang Xiaolan's room became a storage room, and she and Chu Qi slept in the new room.
Wedding night.
Zhuang Xiaolan was very nervous.
Chu Qi extinguished the candle, lowered the bed curtains, and slowly unbuttoned her shirt:
"Don't be afraid, relax."
“It’s hard to relax…”
Zhuang Xiaolan's beautiful face, as white as jade, was flushed with red, and she didn't know where to look with her eyes.
The burning body approached, and the girl lowered her eyelashes, not daring to look at him, but accidentally saw something she shouldn't have seen.
she:"......"
"I'll teach you."
Chu Qi grabbed Zhuang Xiaolan's wrist and lifted it above her head, then knelt on the edge of the bed.
It's late at night...
***
The next day, Zhuang Xiaolan got up late for the first time.
Chu Qi woke up feeling refreshed. He kissed his wife on the forehead, then got up and put on his clothes.
They chose a weekend as the wedding date.
Both of us have asked for leave, so we can have the whole day off today.
With nothing to do, Chu Qi went into the kitchen to make steamed buns. After the buns were ready, Chu Qi went to wake Zhuang Xiaolan up.
"Hmm..."
Zhuang Xiaolan frowned, feeling sore all over her body. It wasn't as severe as being run over by wheels, but it was just uncomfortable.
She frowned and looked at Chu Qi with a hint of complaint: "It's so uncomfortable. I said I don't want it anymore..."
Chu Qi kissed her cheek flatteringly: "It's my fault. I will control myself next time."
What could Zhuang Xiaolan do? She had to go along with him and said, "Then you have to listen to me next time. If I say stop, you have to stop."
"Okay, get up and eat. I made some steamed buns. Try them and see if they're delicious."
When she heard the word steamed buns, Zhuang Xiaolan's eyes lit up. Flour is precious, and one might not even be able to eat steamed buns during Chinese New Year, let alone on ordinary days.
Being able to eat steamed buns on such an ordinary day is really----
So happy.
Chu Qi rarely ate the flour sent by Chu's father and mother, except for making noodles occasionally, and kept the rest.
The main reason is that she is lazy and she has to knead the flour to make food.
She saved it all for about a year and brought it all to her new home, a total of about ten kilograms.
Anyway, the flour won’t go bad, so there’s no problem in keeping it.
As long as it is properly preserved, it is no problem to keep it for three years.
In addition to flour, Chu Qi also had three meat tickets and two grocery tickets, as well as other miscellaneous food items.
As for money, she used all the money she earned from work points for daily expenses, leaving only twenty yuan from the money her parents sent her.
It doesn't cost much to live in the countryside. Starting this year, the authorities have not been so strict in cracking down, and ordinary people can go to the city once a month.
***
After brushing her teeth, Zhuang Xiaolan went into the kitchen and got a steamed bun. While it was still hot, she took a bite. The aroma of the pasta and the light sweetness of the sugar melted in her mouth.
"tasty!"
Looking at Chu Qi's smiling eyes, Zhuang Xiaolan did not hesitate to praise her, her eyes sparkling with admiration.
"Tell our father to come home at noon and let him have one too."
Chu Qi smiled.
Although the crackdown is not so severe now, it is still not good to deliver lunch openly at noon. It will attract attention.
Everyone is poor, only you are rich, so are you capital?
Be careful, one person's spit may drown you.
As mentioned before, there are only two families in the bamboo forest at the end of the village, one is Zhuang Aiguo's family, and the other is the widow's family.
The widow's son married into a city family a few years ago. The widow was unwilling to let her son leave and wanted to go with him, but she did not have a city ID card and was not allowed to go. The widow was furious.
Hanged himself in the house in the middle of the night.
From the above, we can see that the next door is empty, and now this place is Chu Qi’s little world.
She could cook whatever she wanted to eat without worrying about anyone smelling it and reporting her.
Chu Qi made steamed buns in the morning and ate them with pickles to fill her stomach.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was nothing to do during the day, Chu Qi took the hatchet from his father-in-law's house and went to the mass grave to set up fishing traps.
After Chu Qi's special feeding, the fish there grew fat and had plenty of meat.
After making the fishing trap, Chu Qi cut bamboo to make hunting traps.
This time she plans to go big and catch big animals.
After setting the trap, it was almost noon and Chu Qi went home for lunch.
Zhuang Xiaolan followed Chu Qi's instructions and washed the rice and cooked porridge.
Things have changed, and now it is Chu Qi who is supporting Zhuang Xiaolan.
Zhuang Aiguo originally wanted to drink some water and take a nap in the fields, sleep through the lunch break, and then prepare for the collective labor in the afternoon.
Unexpectedly, the girl in her best friend's room mysteriously asked him to go home.
Zhuang Aiguo was puzzled and asked his daughter what was wrong, but she didn't say anything.
It was not until she got home that Zhuang Xiaolan took out a plump white steamed bun from the kitchen and handed it to her old father like a treasure:
"Dad, look what this is."
"Mantou? Xiaochu's stuff?" Zhuang Aiguo didn't answer: "My daughter, although he lives in our house, it's okay for you to eat his food. After all, your father is an outsider..."
Chu Qi strode into the room and said with a smile:
"We are all family. What's yours and mine? You are all my family. It's normal to share food together. Or does my father-in-law not consider me as a family member?"
