Chapter 448 Rural Wedding
The neighbor aunt who came into the house to watch the fun looked at the pile of things woven from corn leaves without any interest.
If you put a few pieces of candy in it, you can give a few pieces to the children.
So she asked, "Little Sister Zhao, are these things your sister's dowry?"
Zhao Xiaomei didn't know what to say, so she went to see Zhao Xiaoman.
Zhao Xiaoman smiled and said, "Aunt, this is just a little thing I made every day."
Then he took out two pieces of candy and put them in the hand of the aunt next door: "These are for your little grandson."
"Oh, thank you so much." The aunt next door went out happily.
Zhao Xiaomei breathed a sigh of relief.
Just at this moment, I heard the sound of a child shouting.
Zhao Xiaoman hurriedly looked out the window.
Then a little boy rushed in like a bullet, shouting excitedly, "Sister Xiaoman, Sister Xiaoman, a jeep has arrived. It's your eldest brother, and there are several people from the city. They are here to attend your wedding."
Zhao Xiaoman finally let go of his anxious heart.
My eyes are a little wet.
Although she was a child bride, the wedding was just a formality, and Shao Lege had just adopted her. Apart from their blood relationship, they were really strangers.
Moreover, one is from the countryside and the other is from the city. Although workers and farmers are one family, there is still a distance between them.
But this is the most important day in her life. She cannot rely on her elders, but she hopes that a brother can see her off to get married.
Now, Brother Shao Le has finally come to fulfill his promise.
She has already finished scrunching her face and putting on makeup.
Zhao Xiaomei was so excited that she wanted to run out, but she still remembered to remind her, "Sister, please don't cry."
The lady who came over said, "It's okay. It's good for a bride to cry. How can she not shed a tear?"
Zhao Xiaoman gave the little boy who reported the news a handful of candy and asked him to share it with the children who ran over with him to report the news.
And he urged: "One per person, can you do it?"
The little boy nodded vigorously: "Sister Xiaoman, don't worry, I can definitely do it."
This candy was also brought by Shao Le last time, weighing two kilograms.
Part of it is White Rabbit milk candy, and the rest is fruit candy.
Even if you don’t eat it, it smells sweet.
But sugar is very expensive now, so she only took out half a pound and put the rest away.
The team leader has promised to let my sister be the scorekeeper after the New Year.
Although I would occasionally go to the fields to work with them, I did much less than before.
In addition, the scorers also receive subsidies. Although they do not receive a salary, they will be given food.
She was a new bride, so naturally she couldn't get off the kang.
Zhao Xiaomei ran out quickly. At this time, several girls from the same village came into the room, surrounded Zhao Xiaoman, and looked outside together.
This group of people really caused a sensation when they walked in Wagouzi Brigade.
Especially Qin Hengzhi and Lu Qiaoge.
The weather is good today and not that cold, so no one covered their faces tightly with scarves.
So when Qin Hengzhi and Lu Qiaoge walked together, the man was handsome and the woman was beautiful.
How to say it, both of them have good temperament.
The villagers wanted to approach them but didn't dare. Just looking at them from afar felt like they were seeing a big world.
I wondered in my heart, how could there be such people in this world?
Shao Le smiled and greeted the villagers who gathered around him and said, "Yes, yes, we are here to attend Xiaoman's wedding."
"Oh, you are my second uncle. I remember, I remember. Hello, hello."
Second Uncle sighed, "Your father was a jerk his whole life, but it's hard to say what happened to him. How could he be so lucky? He ended up with such good kids like you."
Shao Le didn't know what to say and could only smile awkwardly.
"Yonggang didn't come?" the old man asked with concern.
Shao Le had no choice but to make an excuse to Shao Yonggang: "He has a special task at work today, so he may not be able to come, but he asked me to bring money to Xiaoman."
"Oh, Yonggang is also pitiful."
Before they knew the truth, the relationship between the brothers and sisters was really good.
The kind that depends on each other for life.
After a while, Captain Jiang came running over in a jeep, panting.
He didn't know Qin Hengzhi but he knew that he was definitely not an ordinary person.
In terms of aura, no county leader can match him.
Who is that smiling little girl next to her?
Is she Shao Le’s sister?
Can't it?
I haven't heard that Shao Le has a younger sister.
Some women looked at the things they were carrying with envy, whispering, "What are they holding? Why do I feel like it's a blanket? Oh, such a beautiful washbasin, and a thermos. Oh, Zhao Xiaoman is really lucky."
"Who says it isn't?"
"Zhao Yonggang didn't come."
"Why would he come here? Our village is so poor and shabby, and he doesn't have a good life here. If it were me, I wouldn't come either. Wouldn't it be better to stay in the city? There are buildings there, and they say they have heating. You don't even need to burn a stove, and the whole house is warm. It's not like where we live, which is drafty everywhere and freezing us haha."
"It can be said that after suffering comes sweetness."
The people who followed were talking about it.
Occasionally, you can hear the sound of firecrackers.
Qin Hengzhi turned to look at Lu Qiaoge, whose eyes were also shining, and asked her in a low voice: "Is this your first time in a place like this?"
"It's not my first time here, but it's my first time attending a wedding."
Nowadays weddings are not actually very lively and people advocate keeping everything simple.
But in fact, firecrackers will still be set off, and big red wedding characters will be pasted on the windows.
When many people were whispering about Shao Yonggang, Xiao Cangcang told Lu Qiaoge: "Young Master, Shao Yonggang is here too. His father borrowed a car from work. He brought his two children with him."
I didn't expect that Shao Yonggang would really come.
The auspicious time has not yet arrived, but he can still make it if he comes.
Then the group finally arrived at the Zhao family.
Just as Shao Le said, they were the poorest family in the village.
Fortunately, the yard inside and outside was very clean and tidy. There was a wedding character pasted on the gate and on the windows. There was also a string of firecrackers at the door, which should be prepared to be set off soon.
There was a small wheelbarrow in the yard with a big red flower hanging on it, and on it were bedding printed with double happiness characters. There was also a net bag on top with a washbasin in it, which contained soap and towels. This should be Zhao Xiaoman's dowry.
But in fact, half of it was prepared by Wu Ming's mother.
At this time, Captain Jiang already knew who Qin Hengzhi was.
But he was only respectful to Qin Hengzhi, but when he knew who Lu Qiaoge was, a smile spread across his face.
Lu Qiaoge, Director Lu, who doesn’t know him?
Of course he knew.
Because he is a relative of President Zhu, the villagers' income from side jobs last autumn was much higher than in previous years. It can be said that even though life is still difficult, this year's Chinese New Year is much better than last year's.
Because everyone had side income and the commune was richer this year than last year, President Zhu said that the two big fat pigs raised by the team did not need to be handed over.
He approved the direct transfer to the Wagouzi Brigade, and before the New Year, they slaughtered the pork and distributed it to the members...
