Chapter 205
Although everyone was delayed for a while because of Wu Cheng's farce, the troops in front did not go far.
You have to know that four bicycles and a bullock cart cannot carry too many people.
Because the ox cart was filled with dowry cabinets, only three elderly people and Liu Dazhu's two grandsons sat on it.
The others all walked.
In the wedding procession of several bicycles, Song Jingzhou was carrying Su Qingci, and Liu Dazhu was riding his own bicycle to carry his elder sister who was getting married.
Wang Dachui was carrying Wang Guoqing, while Su Qingci's bicycle was ridden by Liu Siqing, who was carrying Feng Jianjun.
The Zhou family really attached great importance to this marriage. As soon as they entered the village, someone calculated the time and came to greet them early with firecrackers on sticks.
A discerning member pointed at the group approaching from a distance and said, "Look, everyone! That's over there!"
"Here it comes, finally here."
"Oh, this is quite a scene."
"Of course not. The Zhou family spent a fortune to marry this daughter-in-law. They followed the rules of their ancestors step by step. With so many formalities, it goes without saying that the woman must be very precious."
"It's definitely not like the kind of guy who just meets up casually, says a few words, and then comes along with a bag."
"It's said in ancient times that only those who come to betrothed several times are considered wives and are precious. Those who follow you are just concubines and are worthless."
"Stop talking, stop talking, they're coming, hurry up and light the firecrackers and run to the front to greet them."
The wedding procession followed the groom Zhou Liang's bicycle and slowly entered the village.
The sound of firecrackers popped, and members of the cooperative stood on both sides of the road to watch the fun.
The news that Zhou Jiahua paid a large sum of money to marry the bride from Gaotang Brigade had long been widely circulated.
The team members were so curious about the bride that they all came out to watch in the cold weather.
Of course, the bride really opened their eyes.
An ox cart with a red wedding character on it brought a dowry, and the dowry items on it made the entire Liantang Brigade excited!
"Oh my god, are they moving their entire home here?"
"Look, look! Not to mention the cabinets and everything else, they've even been painted. Not only are there new quilts on them, but there's even a kettle and a flashlight!"
"And the enamel basin and the towel—what are those? And are those new clothes folded on the small square table?"
The curious members followed the ox cart and pointed at the dowry items placed on the cart one by one.
"Oh my god, what kind of family is this? They're willing to give this to their daughter?"
"My son doesn't even have a turn."
"This daughter-in-law is not a bad choice. No wonder I said that the Zhou family is willing to spend so much money to marry a daughter-in-law."
"That's nothing."
"You guys are just staring at this point right in front of you. Did you notice that there are four bicycles escorting the bride?"
"Four! How many bicycles are there in our town? Even when Zhou Liang went to pick up his bride, he had to beg and plead everywhere to borrow two to save face."
"According to what you said, this new bride is still marrying down!"
"Hey, that's hard to say. I heard that the bride's brothers all work in the township government and are on the government's food supply!"
"Tear~ is it so important?"
"Aren't those who came to escort the bride all leaders of the town?"
"Hey, don't tell me, I think those guys on the bikes are the leaders who often patrol the town."
"Hurry back and tell Uncle Zhou, quick!"
"The town leaders are coming to see the bride off. Tell them to make tea quickly."
"Tsk tsk tsk~ This Zhou family is really lucky. This isn't just marrying a new daughter-in-law, this is praying for a golden baby to come home!"
"Yes, my family of more than 20 people can't even afford this much dowry!"
The large group happily entered the village and followed Zhou Liang to stop at the gate of Zhou's house.
There were red couplets posted on the Zhou family’s door and red wedding characters on the windows.
The firecracker shooter who was waiting at the door to set off firecrackers saw the bride arrive and quickly lit the firecrackers in his hand and threw them aside.
The atmosphere was very lively and the onlookers were also infected by the joyful atmosphere, with happy smiles on their faces.
The dowry on the ox cart was carried into the bridal chamber one by one by the people who came to receive the gifts. The groom, with a blushing face, led the bride into the yard as he was surrounded by everyone.
Zhou Liang and Liu Lanfang were surrounded and bowed several times in front of their elders, and the ceremony was completed after they were offered tea.
The bride's family's procession was arranged to drink tea in the living room.
Father Zhou had heard that there were several leaders in the wedding procession, so he quickly pulled Liu Dazhu aside and secretly asked if they needed special treatment.
Liu Dazhu smiled and said, "Don't be so formal. We are all family. We will meet many times in the future!"
"They are all my son's colleagues, and one of them is my nephew. They were all working, but now they are not close sisters, so they came to meet each other."
"They have to rush back to town for duty later. You know how busy it is at the end of the year. They even had to ask the mayor for leave to come here!"
Liu Siqing's mouth twitched when he heard his father's pretentious words.
Liu Dazhui did not lower his voice, but spoke in a very normal tone.
But this sounded different to the members of the Liantang Brigade!
That's so cool!
Not only was the woman looked up to, but even the Zhou family felt honored.
Several tea tables were quickly set up, and Zhou's father and mother entertained everyone with smiles on their faces.
In the wedding procession, Wu Zhong and Wu Ping looked at each other and saw the security guards who were being complimented, their eyes full of envy.
The two siblings secretly swore that no matter what method they used, they would capture Song Yaozu.
When the time comes, it will be the Wu family that will be praised and complimented by everyone.
Unfortunately, no matter how they tried to get close to him, Song Jingzhou never gave them a good look.
Until they left, there was no chance for intimacy.
After drinking tea and sitting for about forty minutes, Song Jingzhou asked everyone to get up and prepare to retreat.
"Feng Jianjun, you have the afternoon off too, just rest."
Su Qingci looked at Feng Jianjun and spoke.
"Usually you take the Siqing bus to and from get off work, but he took a day off today, so you went to town with him and only worked for a few hours before you were off work again."
"It gets dark quickly this winter, and I have to travel at night when I get back."
"It's a relatively free afternoon anyway, so you can just eat and drink here. If the Four Cleanups need anything, you can lend a hand."
"I'll have more tomorrow morning!"
Feng Jianjun is still quite afraid of Su Qingci now.
There was no way. Not only had he suffered a lot at the hands of Su Qingci, but he had also been beaten up by Song Jingzhou several times.
Neither of them is a good person, and now they are his immediate superiors.
A man has to bow his head under the eaves, and he is a hero who knows the times.
"well!"
"Thank you for your consideration, Captain!"
