"Brother Li, do me a favor." Lin Tian took out two packs of cigarettes from his bag and threw them to Li Wenhua.
"Oh, such a big gift." Li Wenhua was surprised for a moment, then asked, "What's the matter?"
"A buddy came to me for a request. He wants to buy some meat for his wedding. This is a request for you to take a look at." Lin Tian handed a piece of paper to Li Wenhua.
This is when there is no quota now. By the end of 1958, each person will be supplied with two kilograms of pork per month, and each household will be limited to purchasing one yuan of pork per day. Even if he has a ticket, he will not be able to buy so much.
"Oh, we have a pig every two days here, so we have to save up for a few days." Li Wenhua was even more surprised after seeing it, "Do you know such a rich friend?"
"Haha, what? We're from the same compound, and we're getting married in a few days."
"Why is there such a grand ceremony for a wedding when living in a compound?" Li Wenhua was a little confused.
"Have you heard of Lou Bancheng?" Lin Tian said to Li Wenhua mysteriously.
"How could you not have heard of it? Everyone in the old capital knows about it."
"They're marrying off their daughters, you understand."
Li Wenhua was so surprised that his jaw almost dropped to the ground.
“Is this true or false?”
"It's true, how could it be false? Besides, what's the big deal? How can a capitalist compare to us workers?" Lin Tian found that after coming to this society, he quite liked this atmosphere, especially the fact that he could discriminate against capitalists with justification.
"Well... this is..." Li Wenhua didn't know what to say. He could only put away one cigarette and took the other one to go out. "I'll go discuss it with Master Li. It's not a big problem. I'll prepare it for him according to the above time."
"Yes," Lin Tian replied.
"Okay, when the time comes, let him find Master Li himself and buy it. I've already booked it for him." Li Wenhua said after a while.
In fact, this is a small matter for the butcher now. He is spending Xu Damao's money anyway, so he won't do him any favors by giving each person a pack of cigarettes.
If we really wait until the end of the year, not only Lin Tian, but even Li Ning's father won't be able to help.
Moreover, Xu Damao was afraid that Sha Zhu would do something bad to him, so he hired a cooking master from outside. The price was said to be quite expensive, and you could tell it was not cheap from the way he talked about it.
Within a few days, workers came to deliver furniture to Xu Damao. You have to know that furniture was not so easy to get in that era. Not to mention the wood for making furniture, even if you wanted to buy it from the furniture factory, you had to get news in advance, queue up, and you might not be able to buy it.
The only advantage is that you don’t need to use furniture tickets now. After two years, two furniture tickets will be issued after you get your marriage certificate, and they are usually not enough.
So it can be seen that the Xu family also spent a lot of money on this marriage.
Xu Damao's house was also simply renovated. Originally, Xu Damao wanted to change it into the style of Lin Tian's house, but it conflicted with the time of his wedding, so he gave up.
When the Xu family started decorating and preparing furniture, the courtyard was not as peaceful as when Lin Tian was decorating the house. Because everyone knew that Lin Tian was decorating the house just for the sake of decorating the house, while Xu Damao was decorating the house to prepare for marriage.
But this time, the Xu family didn't leak any information because of Sha Zhu's previous experience.
When Xu's father and mother came to help Xu Damao clean up the house, they officially notified everyone to attend Xu Damao's wedding, but no one was told who he was marrying.
When it comes to Xu Damao’s marriage, who cares most?
Of course that's a fool.
"Damn it! That bastard Shazhu!" The wedding day was getting closer and closer, and Xu Damao had not been going to the countryside recently, so whenever he had time, he would come to Lin Tian for a drink.
"These past two days, I noticed that Sha Zhu was always acting sneaky. I didn't expect that this grandson was following me secretly." Xu Damao was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. He didn't expect that this grandson Sha Zhu was really going to sabotage him.
"Haha, it's a good thing you were on guard at the beginning." Lin Tian was also a little gloating. Xu Damao was about to get married, but he didn't expect that Sha Zhu hadn't given up yet.
Sha Zhu is a man of action. If he fails to track down the Lou family, Lin Tian thinks there is a 90% chance that he will sneak up on Xu Damao.
Thinking of this, Lin Tian still gave Xu Damao a few words, "I advise you to be careful of Sha Zhu."
"Would I be afraid of him?" Xu Damao was like a cat with its fur standing on end.
Seeing this, Lin Tian just laughed and said it casually. It was none of his business whether Xu Damao took it to heart or not.
But the final result was that Xu Damao really suffered a loss.
Two days before the wedding, Xu Damao was beaten up on his way back from drinking with someone unknown.
When he came to his senses and knocked on the gate of the courtyard, Yan Fugui was almost scared to death. Who could recognize this guy with stains all over his body and a bruised face?
But after all the trouble, including going to the wide-brimmed hat and searching the streets, no one found out who did it. The only result we can give him is that he should be careful, as he must have offended someone.
The wedding day finally arrived. Secretary Wu, as the manager of the compound, was also helping to organize Xu Damao's wedding ceremony.
Early in the morning, Lin Tian, Yan Jiecheng and other unmarried young men in the compound were called together, along with the children, who pushed a few bicycles and went to the Lou family with Xu Damao to pick up the bride.
When they arrived at Lou's house, Xu Damao bowed to Lou's father and mother, and then took Lou Xiao'e away.
However, at that time, the Lou family was still very low-key. They just lived in a small Western-style building, and their grandeur was not even as good as that of Liu Guangqi's father-in-law's house.
