Chapter 36 Found a bug in the original book.

When the other leaders saw that Geng Changqing had already taken out a red envelope, they took out their own red envelopes and handed them to Lu Changzheng.

Nowadays, when people come to a banquet, they give gifts (daily necessities) to those who are close to them, and ordinary people give red envelopes. They can be 50 cents to 2 yuan.

Several leaders gave 2 yuan plus 4 taels of grain coupons. These days, it is important not to take a single needle or thread from the masses.

After several leaders of the commune entered the house, the two greeted the brigade members who came to the banquet for a while at the door.

At noon, the two held a simple ceremony under the witness of a group of members and several leaders.

They swore an oath to the portrait of Chairman Mao, and then bowed three times to Lu Changzheng's parents and grandfather, as well as Geng Changqing, the representative of the bride's family, and then the bride and groom bowed to each other.

In this way, the ceremony was completed.

25 tables were prepared, and each table was full.

Because the vegetable garden was dug up, all the tables were set up at Lu's house to facilitate the passing of dishes, and they did not go to their small yard to set up the table.

The staple food was two-cow steamed buns, the kind with more white flour and less corn flour, one the size of an adult's fist, and each person had two. In addition, two large pots of corn porridge were cooked. If there was not enough to eat, they would drink corn porridge.

The first dish served was an extremely hard dish, mutton soup.

The mutton, lamb chops, and lamb offal are chopped and stewed until soft, then white radish is added, and some wolfberries and chopped green onions are sprinkled on before the pot is removed. The soup is milky white, and the mutton is fresh and fragrant. Drinking a bowl of it instantly warms the stomach and makes you feel extremely happy.

At this time, the weather has begun to get cold, and drinking a bowl of warm mutton soup is perfect.

When the mutton soup is served, except for the table of leaders and educated youth, which is still a bit elegant, the other tables are competing for the word "fast", and whoever is faster eats more.

The second dish is stewed pork with cabbage and sauerkraut, which is also a full pot, all directly served in enamel basins.

The third dish is stewed old hen with mushroom vermicelli. There are more mushrooms and less chicken vermicelli. In those days, vermicelli was also a fine grain and expensive. The mushrooms were picked up in the mountains and dried in the sun, so they were free.

The fourth dish was stewed goose with potatoes. Although there were more potatoes than goose meat, it was so delicious that people wanted to swallow it all.

After the four main dishes, two vegetarian dishes were served. Because the vegetables were different, the vegetables on each table were different. They just served whatever was available.

In addition, a pound of bulk white wine and a pack of cigarettes were placed on the table where the men sat, and a handful of candy were placed on the table where the women sat.

Everyone who came to the banquet ate a lot of oil. They really had never eaten so well during the Chinese New Year.

Lu Changzheng and Su Mo did not toast everywhere, but only toasted the leaders and a few tables of relatives, and also toasted the table of educated youth.

Geng Changqing looked at the dishes on the table and knew that the Lu family still valued Su Mo, so he felt relieved.

After dinner, Geng Changqing went to visit the young couple's new house. After seeing it, he felt relieved.

Under such conditions, Lu Changzheng has a subsidy, and if he takes more care of him, he shouldn't suffer much.

Because he still had work, Geng Changqing didn't stay long before leaving. Before leaving, he reminded Su Mo again to remember to call Su Tingde.

What Geng Changqing didn't say was that Su Tingde almost went crazy after learning about Su Mo's marriage from him. If he hadn't repeatedly assured that the man was a good man, Su Tingde might have asked for leave and came over directly.

Su Tingde had two sons of his own, but no concubines. He always treated the original owner as his concubine and doted on her. He would occasionally give her some pocket money. After the original owner started working, he had less money.

It can be said that Su Tingde was at least one-third responsible for the original owner's exquisite food, clothing and daily necessities.

After everyone left and only the couple were left in the house, Lu Changzheng excitedly held Su Mo's hand and introduced the things in the house.

Lu Changzheng was in a good mood today. He drank a little too much when he toasted and was a little tipsy.

Lu Changzheng first took Su Mo to the main room in the middle and said, "Wife, there are two big stoves here. The stove on the east is connected to the fire wall. We can use this stove in winter to cook and keep the room warm."

He then took Su Mo to the cabinet, opened the door, and showed her what was inside.

"Wife, everything you need for meals is ready. I also bought a lot of rice and flour, as well as some bacon, sausage and eggs. Eat whenever you want. Don't save. I'll send you my allowance later."

Su Mo looked inside and saw that rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and other things were all ready. There were also a lot of bowls and chopsticks, and a few jars, which should be filled with rice and flour.

Then he took Su Mo to the reception area, where there was a round table for meals, a few stools, two wooden benches, and a low table, which should be used as a tea table.

The Forever 26 bicycle was also placed next to it.

"Wife, if someone comes in the future, you should entertain them here and don't let them sleep on the kang. Those aunties don't like to take a bath and are very dirty."

He pulled Su Mo to the west room and said, "This is the guest room. If there are guests in the future, they can sleep here."

Su Mo looked around the west room. The layout was the same as their wedding room, but there were fewer furniture. There were only two kangqins, one large and one small, and a kang table on the kang. There was a large wooden cabinet on the ground, and a large bathtub was placed next to it. So the whole room looked relatively empty.

"There are two adobe rooms outside. The large one inside is a utility room for firewood and sundries, and the small one outside is a toilet. It is a dry toilet, not dirty."

After saying that, he looked at Su Mo with sparkling eyes.

Su Mo couldn't help but smile when she saw Lu Changzheng's expression of seeking praise. I didn't expect that a slightly drunk Lu Changzheng would be so cute.

"The house is great, I like it very much." Su Mo said with a smile.

"As long as my wife likes it." Then he pulled Su Mo to their wedding room, "Wife, do you think there is anything else you want to buy? Tell me and I'll go buy it."

"No, I have everything I need. Changzheng, this house is really great, I like it very much." Su Mo affirmed again.

Lu Changzheng laughed, and Su Mo saw him like this, guessing that he was really drunk, so she comforted him.

"The afternoon is still long, do you want to sleep for a while?"

"Okay, then my wife, you sleep with me."

Su Mo: ...

Don't bother with a drunk person.

"Okay." Su Mo was ready to agree first, and then go out to sit in the main room after he fell asleep.

Otherwise, someone might come and see them sleeping and think they had done something in broad daylight.

Su Mo first took a mattress and laid it out, then spread new sheets on the mattress, put a new pillow in place, and let Lu Changzheng go to the kang to rest.

There was no need to cover himself with a large quilt at this time, so Su Mo took out the thin quilt she used at the educated youth center and covered Lu Changzheng with it.

"Wife, aren't you going to sleep?"

"I'm not going to sleep, I'll watch you sleep."

Lu Changzheng must have been really tired and fell asleep quickly.

Seeing Lu Changzheng fall asleep, Su Mo sat on the wooden bench in the main room, took out the two red envelopes given by Geng Changqing from the pocket of her skirt, and fell into deep thought.

She just thought about it, Geng Changqing is the top leader here, and his attitude doesn't seem to be avoiding suspicion with the original owner.

And he should be in contact with the original owner's uncle from time to time. It has only been four days since she got the marriage certificate, and the original owner's uncle knew about it. It was obviously Geng Changqing who told him.

Then, in the book, after the original owner died, why didn't Geng Changqing collect the body for the original owner?

Instead, the Lujia Village Brigade sent a telegram to Hai City, and Yang Suyun came all the way to take away the original owner's relics?

Did Geng Changqing not want to? Or did something happen in the meantime that prevented Geng Changqing from showing up?

Su Mo was puzzled and always felt that there seemed to be a heavy fog in it.

After thinking for a while, Su Mo still didn't understand, so she stopped thinking about it.

Anyway, things will work out when the time comes.

Su Mo opened the two red envelopes and counted them. She found that they were both 200 yuan each, so she directly deposited 400 yuan into the account.

Su Mo smacked her lips. She earned nearly a year's salary just by getting married.

After putting the money away, Su Mo took the opportunity to calculate her current wealth.

After buying things, she had 933.27 yuan left. Later, she received 400 yuan in gifts. She spent 125 yuan on a watch for Lu Changzheng, 0.5 yuan on white cotton thread, 0.3 yuan on newspapers, 2.5 yuan on White Rabbit on the black market, 1.5 yuan on a pillow core two days ago, and 0.84 yuan on three feet of cotton cloth. She had 1202.63 yuan left.

Add the 400 yuan gift money she received today, and that's 1602.63 yuan.

Su Mo was a little happy. She had almost 600 yuan in her account just by getting married. She was one step closer to the courtyard house in Beijing.
