Chapter 448: The Little Troublemaker Wants to Pick Up the Bride
Guoqing was also happy for Cheng Li. His second sister-in-law's grocery store in Chuncheng was doing extremely well. He didn't expect that even little Cheng Li could make money.
"Okay, I've got the money, and I'll make sure Skinny Monkey gets the best stuff for Cheng Li."
"No, take the worst and cheapest goods. The good ones can't be sold here for the time being."
National Day: “…”
He is not a money-making person.
"Cheng Qiao, there is one more thing. Can you lend your wooden house, the one Uncle Niu built and placed on the back of the truck, to a little troublemaker so that his wife can sit in it when he comes back?"
"And your wife."
Guoqing blushed. Two young women would definitely not be able to endure the hardship of a long journey. If they had a cabin, they would be able to eat and sleep as they pleased, which would definitely be much better.
"Okay, go get it. It's in the warehouse of your garrison. Remember to bring some charcoal with you, as you will need it to cook on the way."
The little troublemaker brought all the fabrics for the bride that he had prepared long ago, and also brought his new military uniform. This time he was going to get married, so he had to wear new clothes.
Qin Daqiang generously contributed ten yuan, which was a large amount. The little troublemaker treasured the money very much and hid it in his pocket, planning to give it to his wife for safekeeping when he saw her.
In Xiangyang Village, Chen Weidang and Cuihua are also busy preparing for Chen Xiaoniu's wedding. The son-in-law will be arriving in the next two days, and their daughter will belong to him from now on.
"Girl, when you go to your husband's house, you can't be so free and easy like at home. Think more about your man. Of course, if your husband's family deliberately bullies you, it won't work. We still have Cheng Qiao and Lele."
Mother, I understand. After I leave, you should let your second brother do more. Don't take on all the responsibilities. You are treating him like a pig."
Chen Ermao has gained weight and looks greasy at such a young age. This is the result of Cuihua's careful feeding as the family conditions have improved suddenly.
Since Chen Weidang returned home, he has been helping Wang Xiangyang with work diligently every day. Wang Xiangyang still gave him a salary. Although it is not much, fifteen yuan is a lot of money in the countryside.
Chen Ermao also had a salary, and he gave every penny of it to Cuihua. Cuihua and Erniu still had to work in the fields, and they also received work points at the end of each year.
No one in the family was idle, so money was slowly saved. As the family had more savings, Cuihua was willing to buy things, and Shouhou was even more willing to receive gifts. As a result, Ermao became fatter.
"Sister, I'm still reluctant to let you go. I was thinking I should give you something for your wedding, but you actually called me a pig behind my back. Pigs don't give gifts."
"Second brother, you..."
"Puff"
Cuihua couldn't help laughing. God still had mercy on her. He ruined Damao but left her Ermao, who was honest, loyal and had good character.
"Brother, I don't want your gift. You should find a daughter-in-law for mom and give birth to a pair of grandchildren."
Ermao's high spirits just now suddenly fell to the bottom. He didn't know how many people had introduced him to a matchmaker over the years, but he could not forget this person in his heart. He decided to just live alone.
"Son, I was afraid of the educated youth back then, so I didn't let you marry one. Now that I think about it, I don't know whether I was right or wrong."
"Mom, don't be sad. You did the right thing. She doesn't have me in her heart. Otherwise, why would she work so hard to get into college and then fly away?"
"Brother, there are beautiful women everywhere. I'm going to Hexi this time to see if there are any good girls there. I'll bring them back to you then."
"Thank you, little girl. I don't want it anymore. It's not bad to just stay with my parents like this."
"That won't do. My Chen family will be wiped out."
"My second uncle's family already has several children. We can't cut off the relationship. Besides, there's no throne to inherit in my family, so let's just cut it off."
The atmosphere suddenly became depressing, and Cuihua felt extremely guilty. If she had known this would happen, she would have kept the educated youth here even if she died.
"What's wrong? The car is already at the door, why don't you get out?"
Chen Weidang hurried back and saw his mother and the others were still chatting. He couldn't help but get anxious. When Chen Xiaoniu heard that the car was coming, her face immediately turned red.
Chen Ermao also breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders. He had finally passed this hurdle today. He turned around and ran out, and Cuihua followed him.
Xiangyang Village has become lively again. Although there have been several weddings and funerals in the village in recent years, none of them is as lively as the Chen family. A large green truck is parked at the entrance of the village, and there is a wooden house behind the truck.
"Hey, isn't this the house that Uncle Niu built? How did he bring it back? Has Uncle Niu come back? Didn't he find his son?"
"I don't see Uncle Niu. You see, there are only Guoqing and Little Troublemaker. My goodness, how come they have so many things?"
"They are here to get married, so of course they have to take more things. You are not like me, you are making a profit by marrying a wife."
"What are you talking about, old man?"
"Let's not talk about it anymore. Let's just watch the fun."
Little Troublemaker and Guoqing were walking towards Chen's house with bags of things. Chen Ermao quickly ran over and took the things from Guoqing's hands.
"Brother Guoqing, please bring Lele back this time."
"Yes, Ermao, why don't you come and play together? Second sister-in-law and second brother are over there."
"Forget it. I can't leave the village now. I have a lot of work to do."
"It's up to you. If you want to go, tell me. You can come with me next time I come to pick up the goods."
The two of them chatted and laughed as they arrived at Chen Weidang's house. Chen Weidang and Cuihua turned back halfway because they were marrying off their daughter, so they couldn't be so pushy.
"Dad, Mom, I'm here to marry Erniu. These are the gifts my parents brought for you. I hope you don't dislike them."
The gifts were tightly wrapped in various kinds of kraft paper, and it was hard to see what was inside, but they really appreciated the thoughtfulness of their in-laws.
"Come into the house, your parents will decide when to hold the wedding."
"When I bring the girl back, I'll find an auspicious day to prepare a few banquets and let everyone know that my daughter-in-law is from thousands of miles away and is very precious."
Chen Weimin and his wife felt very comfortable after hearing this. They decided to set up a few tables in the village the day after tomorrow and invite some elderly people in the village, so that they could have a grand wedding.
Chen Erniu felt very warm in her heart. In their Xiangyang Village, no girl had ever gotten married without setting up several tables. She was the first one. Her parents were so kind.
"Thank you, Dad and Mom, but I'll pay for it."
The blind bear was taken away by the brigade commander in exchange for a third-class merit award, which was considered a good deal. Unexpectedly, the brigade commander also left him a bear paw.
The most important thing is that Hu Laita gave me the bear skin, saying it would add color to his wedding. It's a pity that I don't know where Uncle Laita went, otherwise I would have invited him to have a drink anyway.
