Chapter 148 Telegram
"Don't be in a hurry, just get married first."
Then, Yi Chichi asked her, "Will you help me tomorrow?"
"No need to help. There's nothing to prepare. Just roll up your bedding and move a piece. Then, just be a witness under the supervision of the captain and the others."
Liu Xiaocao's smile was a little bitter.
Yi Chichi sighed. If only her and Qian Ping'an's parents had been more supportive, even if it couldn't be a grand wedding, it would be nice for the two children to get married with the blessings of their relatives and friends.
With neither set of parents being supportive, they could only keep things simple.
Yi Chichi gave her a red scarf, which she had snatched from Yi Jing.
According to today's aesthetic standards, this scarf is not only beautiful, but also fashionable.
Unfortunately, she couldn't appreciate it and felt that the scarf was nothing but tacky.
"This is too expensive. I can't take it."
When Liu Xiaocao saw the scarf, there was unmistakable love in her eyes, but her reason made her calmly refuse to accept this kindness.
Can't afford it.
Human relationships are always about give and take. If you only take in and don't give out, even the best relationships and feelings will break down.
Chi Chi has helped her enough, she can't lose her sense of propriety.
Yi Chichi smiled and said, "So live well with Comrade Qian, and give me more valuable things when I get married."
"Is it possible?"
Her eyes suddenly widened, and Yi nodded hesitantly, "Why not? Or are you accepting my gift and not going to return it?"
"No, I'm not that kind of person."
She has a sense of dignity and would not do such a shameless thing.
"Then you should collect it steadily."
It would be a waste to put this scarf on her. She doesn't like the feeling of being restricted by something around her neck.
"Then I'll shamelessly accept it."
Liu Xiaocao really liked him, and seeing this, she no longer refused, but promised solemnly, "Don't worry, Chi Chi, when you get married, I will give you a big red blanket."
Worried that Yi Chichi would think she was bragging, she whispered, "Let Lao Qian do it. He has connections."
This means to have a bottom line.
It also means that Qian Ping'an has some assets, which is good.
A man who does not show off his wealth but is willing to open up to his future partner is someone with whom he can make a living.
"Okay, I'll wait for your blanket."
"Um."
She nodded heavily and then said goodbye.
Yi Chichi sent her to the door. The moon was bright tonight, and there was not a single star in the cloudless sky.
Under the moonlight, she walked away with brisk steps.
Yi Chichi smiled, closed the door and went into the house, hoping that Xiaocao would be happy for the rest of her life!
The next morning after breakfast, Qin Jiu carried his schoolbag and went to school with Dun Dun and the others.
After finishing the cleaning, Yi Chichi took the hoe and sickle, threw them into his backpack, and went out.
At the foot of the mountain, the dodder fruits have reached maturity and are ready to be harvested.
Cuscuta australis tastes pungent, sweet and neutral in nature. It has the effects of nourishing the liver and kidneys, improving eyesight and stopping diarrhea.
It can also eliminate wind and remove freckles when used externally, and is also sold at purchasing stations.
Therefore, she spent the morning on dodder.
At around eleven o'clock, Ge Sujuan and others came together.
"Left behind, going to the brigade cafeteria to attend Xiaocao's wedding."
The canteen was built during the era of the communal dining system. It is quite large and had been idle for a long time. It finally came in handy this time.
Yi Chichi put the dodder away and said, "Wait a moment."
"good."
Five minutes later, Yi Chichi, who had cleaned himself up, walked towards the brigade canteen with them.
The gift money was agreed upon early in the morning, 20 cents per person.
I originally thought that there were very few, but when I arrived I found that someone actually brought a bunch of green vegetables as a gift.
Yi Chichi and the others were stunned.
"Green, green vegetables, this one is a bit too stingy."
Zhou Qiuyu muttered softly, and Yi Chichi and the others agreed with him, but no one said anything.
What can I say about Liu Xiaocao's wedding? It can't be a grand wedding.
They had no place to stay, no money, and no food to eat. Rather than attending a wedding, it would be more accurate to say that they came to bear witness together with all the members of Kaoshantun under the chairmanship of the team leader.
Witness Liu Xiaocao and Qian Pingan forming a family, and like countless ordinary couples, supporting each other and working together for a better future.
Dazui’s family didn’t come, and no one from Qian Ping’an’s family came either.
Qian Ping'an was dressed quite neatly today, but he didn't look very impressive at all.
Xiaocao was extremely eye-catching today, with a red cotton top, black pants and black low-heeled leather shoes. The red scarf around her neck fluttered in the wind.
Her hair is no longer in the thick braids of the past, but is combed sleekly and tied up on her head, looking energetic and fashionable.
"Xiaocao looks really beautiful today, like a movie star." Liu Lan stood next to Yi Chichi, stared at Liu Xiaocao from head to toe, and praised.
Wang Nan teased her, "Which movie star does she look like?"
"Wang Yunyun."
"Don't tell me, they really look alike."
Wang Nan and the others expressed their agreement, but Yi Chichi remained silent. She didn't know the movie star in question at all and had never seen any movies starring him. She had only seen old movies like Tunnel Warfare.
I really don’t understand the movie stars from the sixties and seventies.
However, no matter who Liu Xiaocao looks like, she is the prettiest girl in Kaoshantun Brigade today.
After she appeared, there was a moment of silence in the cafeteria, followed by the howling and booing of unmarried young people like Liu Xi.
The scene suddenly became lively.
Because there was no banquet, and only a handful of melon seeds and a cup of sugar water for each person, the wedding of Liu Xiaocao and Qian Pingan ended quickly.
The whole process took less than an hour and everyone dispersed to work in the fields.
The bride-to-be also changed her clothes and followed them down to the field.
As a new member of Kaoshantun, Qian Ping'an won the hearts of most of the team members and Bai Chen and others in just a few days.
Then, their new home entered the construction phase.
With strength in numbers, the house was built in less than half a month.
It’s not big, just a simple one-bedroom, one-living room and one kitchen, made of pure earth, but it’s quite sturdy.
The room was also empty, with no furniture, just a wooden bed and a few straw mats.
Then Qian Ping'an found a pot from somewhere, and the rest of the things such as bowls and chopsticks were provided by the team members.
This family gave a pair of chopsticks, and that family gave a bowl, and that was enough for the couple's daily necessities.
As for the rest, the couple can only buy them slowly.
Even so, Liu Xiaocao was extremely happy, and her face looked relaxed because of her good mood.
As the autumn harvest was approaching, Liu Xiaocao brought her a telegram.
"Chichi, a telegram from Uncle Yaozi."
Yi Chichi was confused, "Why did you deliver Uncle Yaozi's telegram?"
Isn't this the job of a postman? "Lao Qian went to the post office to get something and brought it back."
Liu Xiaocao explained that she suddenly realized what was going on. She opened the telegram and saw that there were only three words "Qiu Shou" on it, and no punctuation marks.
Yi Chichi understood immediately that this meant that they had to come back before the autumn harvest.
As for whether the person can be brought back, there is no news at all.
