"Military, military compound?"
The Liu family was shocked when they saw six military vehicles lined up and drove into the military compound, with sentries holding guns outside the windows.
They have been peasants all their lives and never imagined that one day they would be able to ride in a military vehicle and enter the military compound.
Among them, except for aunt and uncle Liu, the rest of them had never even ridden in a car.
Just as she was sitting in the car, Old Lady Liu felt a movement under her body, and the iron thing began to move. While she was still looking at the military vehicle curiously, the car actually drove into the military compound.
Looking at the sentry saluting the military vehicle with his gun, and looking at the magnificent and luxurious houses outside the window, the old lady of the Liu family felt like she had entered a new world.
Not only Old Lady Liu had this idea, but everyone else in the Liu family also felt this way.
Accustomed to the low adobe and thatched houses in the village, the Liu family felt their worldview was shocked when they suddenly saw the three-story Western-style building with tiled exterior. Before, they thought the three-story department store in the county town was grand enough, but they didn't expect that they would know what grand was until they arrived in Kyoto, and even the houses were so grand.
In particular, when they got off the car and saw guards coming to greet them, and Chief Li Huaimin, dressed in military uniform, waiting for them with a dignified yet friendly demeanor, they were shocked and flattered.
At this moment, they realized how prominent their in-laws were.
With a family like this, even the county magistrate’s daughter might not be able to marry into this family.
For a moment, they were both happy and worried.
What makes me happy is that my daughter (granddaughter/sister) married well.
They are worried that these peasants can't help their daughter in any way.
Fortunately, the Li family noticed the Liu family's discomfort, and Li Huaimin, a general, was able to lower his status and talk to old man Liu.
Grandma Li was able to make Old Lady Liu treat her as a good sister with just a few words.
Li Zesheng's father also warmly greeted Liu Ruyue's two uncles, uncle and father.
As for the twelve brothers, Li Zesheng took care of them himself.
As for Li Zesheng's mother, Chen Hui, although she was somewhat dissatisfied, after being scolded by her parents-in-law and the man, she could only smile aggrievedly and greet Aunt Liu...
Looking at her future daughter-in-law Liu Ruyue, who was sitting next to her son, answering the old man's questions gracefully and making him laugh from time to time, Chen Hui felt very uncomfortable:
You might say she was impolite, but when she came in she even called her aunt and greeted her.
Although she was polite, her attitude towards him was distant and indifferent, not at all like Li Huizhu who had praised him so attentively before.
And, most importantly, she couldn't stand the way her son smiled so cheaply whenever he saw this woman.
But there was nothing she could do. It seemed that the other four people in the family were quite satisfied with this woman. If she didn't help them out, they would definitely scold her again!
Holding her breath, Chen Hui could only help greet the Liu family...
This era is nothing like what is written in novels. There is no such thing as a nanny. If you dare to hire a nanny and are reported for learning capitalism, you can be demoted from any position, no matter how high it is.
Therefore, the people who help with cooking and cleaning in the homes of these leaders are all relatives brought from their hometowns.
When relatives come to help, they will not undermine socialism.
As the group chatted and laughed, Aunt Li prepared the meal with the help of the guards. Li Huaimin and the others opened two bottles of Moutai and started drinking in a lively atmosphere.
Everyone in the Liu family had only heard of Moutai and had never seen it. After taking a sip, they found that it was indeed a little different from the corn wine at home.
Seeing that the Liu family loved to drink Moutai, Li Huaimin immediately asked the guard to bring out five more bottles, hoping that the Liu family could drink to their heart's content.
When Liu Ruyue saw the five-star Moutai produced in 1978, her eyes lit up.
Li Zesheng saw his young wife's eyes shining as she looked at the Moutai liquor, and thought that she wanted to drink it too, so he poured some for her.
But Liu Ruyue refused. In his puzzled eyes, the woman asked in a low voice: "Zesheng, how much is this bottle of Moutai?"
"Eight!"
Li Zesheng thought the woman was worried about the Moutai liquor, and said nonchalantly: "Yueyue, this liquor is not worth much. It's all used to entertain your family. Don't worry about it!"
“…”
When Liu Ruyue heard what Li Zesheng said, she felt speechless. In an era when the monthly salary was around 30 yuan, a bottle of wine was sold for eight yuan. Isn't it worth much?
They drank five bottles in one night, and the cost of the wine alone was almost two months' salary for others. From this, we can see how much the Li family cared about Liu Ruyue's family.
However, at the moment, Liu Ruyue had no time to think about these things. Her mind and eyes were filled with Maotai liquor that cost eight yuan a bottle.
If she remembered correctly, at the 2021 Moutai auction, the five-star Moutai produced in 1978 was sold at a high price of 610,000.
From eight yuan to 610,000 yuan, excluding inflation, this is considered a huge profit!
In an instant, Liu Ruyue saw the business opportunity.
Anyway, she can use the system as a storage space, and no matter how much wine she hoards, she will not be branded as a speculator.
She is now hoarding a large amount of Moutai liquor and will sell it when the price of Moutai goes up. How can she make money better than this?
Moreover, if she remembered correctly, it wouldn't be long before the price of Moutai would skyrocket over the next few years...
So, while the Li and Liu families were happily discussing the marriage of the two young people, Liu Ruyue was already mentally planning her Moutai liquor business...
That night, the Liu family stayed in Mr. Li's house.
Fortunately, Mr. Li's house is big and he lives there with his wife, so even if more than 20 people from the Liu family come, they can still accommodate them.
In the next few days, the Li family was busy preparing for the wedding, and the Li family's guards helped Liu Ruyue lead the Liu family members around Kyoto.
As Chinese people who love the red flag, the Liu family watched the flag-raising ceremony for a week.
Li Zesheng had borrowed a camera long ago and taught Liu Ruyue how to use it. He asked the guard to carry it, and Liu Ruyue helped the Liu family record their travels in Kyoto.
In addition to taking a group photo during the flag-raising ceremony, the Liu family also took an individual photo of each person, waiting to have the photos developed and take them back to Shitou Village to show off.
Among the surrounding area, the Liu family was the second to come to Kyoto.
The first one is naturally Li Huizhu who has been imprisoned.
However, they were definitely the first family in Stone Village to take a photo with the flag-raising ceremony. When they returned to Stone Village to brag about it, they would surely make their old friends envious...
Time soon arrived for Li Zesheng and Liu Ruyue's wedding.
Because the Liu family is not from Kyoto, Liu Ruyue chose to get married in the military district guesthouse...
