Chapter 729
After finishing the upgrade and opening work, Su Miao also welcomed the winter vacation.
Before the holiday, Su Miao received a certificate of merit for her outstanding contributions in solving the hijacking case and returning cultural relics.
In addition to being named a "Three Good Students" student at the school level, he was also named an outstanding member of the Communist Youth League at the municipal level.
However, the school did not know that she had reported the hijacking case. The thank-you letter they received from the Yongcheng Police Station only stated that Su Miao provided important clues for solving the major case.
Su Miao's top-notch grades, good moral character and firm political integrity are indeed enough to qualify her for an award.
The list of outstanding candidates will be posted on the bulletin board downstairs in the office building for a whole year until it is updated again next year.
The decoration of the Xiheyuan area has not been completed yet, and the craftsmen have to go home for the New Year and come back to work after the New Year.
Su Miao and his father gave the craftsmen small red envelopes for good luck and to thank them for their dedication to the decoration work.
The old masters held the red envelopes with their rough fingers, smiled so hard that the wrinkles at the corners of their eyes were squeezed together, and kept saying auspicious words.
Just like the previous year, the father and daughter returned to Nanning first. Meng Sui was busy until the 28th, and only came back after she had settled the store.
Su Miao bought him a return flight ticket in advance to save him the trouble of traveling.
Meng Sui happily put the plane ticket in his notes and put it under his pillow. This was his first time taking a plane, and the boss was really generous to buy him such an expensive ticket.
During the National Day, Su Miao and Su Yuanzheng came back once to attend the wedding of Su Hui and Jiang Fengyi.
However, because I was really busy at that time, I didn't stay for too long. I made two aerial flights, coming today and returning tomorrow.
There was a banquet in Sujia Village and another in Yongcheng. As a sister from her parents' family who was sent to the wedding, Su Miao had the food at both banquets.
It can be seen that Jiang Fengyi is willing to spend money on his wife, and the richness of the banquet dishes is considered first-class in Nanning.
The must-haves for a wedding have also changed from the three turns and one ring that were popular a few years ago to the more expensive refrigerators, color TVs, and washing machines.
Jiang Fengyi's family already had these three items, and he originally wanted to buy another set as a betrothal gift to his wife's home.
However, his father-in-law and mother-in-law only accepted the ordinary gifts given when the marriage was proposed, and refused to accept any more. They told him not to buy any more and to save money and live a good life.
Although his parents-in-law refused it, he had to show his sincerity, so he converted the betrothal gift into a gift of 9,999 and gave it to his father-in-law. This amount was almost equal to the annual salary that Su Ji was offering him for two years.
Su Hui knew his income, but the villagers didn't. Once the amount was revealed, the whole village was in an uproar and it instantly topped the topic list.
Everyone said that the daughter of the Su family was very capable. She had firmly grasped the young man from the city and gave all her wealth to her wife's family. She must have sold all the ancestral property. After all, they had never seen so much money in their lives.
Uncle Su Miao naturally could not refuse the betrothal money for his daughter's marriage, otherwise it would make people look down on his daughter.
So he gladly accepted it, and according to custom, he returned 999 yuan, and gave the rest to Su Hui to put in the bottom of the box, which would become her small treasury in the future.
This time, the sister-in-law had no objection to the decision of her parents-in-law, and she was busy arranging wedding supplies for Su Hui.
In the past few years, with the support of Su Miao's family, their family's economic level has changed dramatically. Their pockets are fatter, and they are not as stingy as before.
Besides, if the sister-in-law marries well, she can help her nephew in the future, so the relationship must be good.
In the future, I can let my son go to study in the city. It would be best if he could become the top scorer in the imperial examination like his aunt did, which would bring honor to her.
After Su Hui got married, she moved out of the workshop and lived in Jiang Fengyi's detached self-built house. This time, Jiang Fengyi completely bid farewell to the life of a single young man.
The uncles, aunts and uncles who took care of him and raised him were very pleased and satisfied with Su Hui. They gave her many valuable gifts when they met her. The aunts also bought Su Hui a set of heavy three golds.
For them, as long as a woman has good character and can keep her child under control, she is the best one in a million.
And when he learned that Su Hui was a shareholder of Su Ji Food Factory and a new-age woman with experience in business management, his affection for her was almost overflowing.
Every time they have a meal together, they take turns to remind Jiang Fengyi that such a good wife is a rare opportunity and he must not bully her and make her angry.
As for your status in the family, it doesn’t matter at all. After all, you can only become successful if you listen to your wife!
A few days before the Spring Festival in 1991, families in Sujia Village began to slaughter their New Year pigs one after another.
When one family slaughters a pig, several families help out. The pig-slaughtering banquet is held at your house today and at my house tomorrow. It is equivalent to celebrating the New Year in advance.
The next day after Su Miao returned to the village, he was awakened by the sound of catching pigs. It seemed to be from his third aunt's house not far away.
She rubbed her eyes and opened the window, and the cold air mixed with the smell of firewood hit her in the face.
The children all ran to see it, and when they passed by Su Miao's house, they jumped outside the courtyard gate and called to her:
"Aunt! Come and watch the pig slaughter! The pig at Third Aunt's house is so fat!"
"Aunt! Aunt! Hurry up and get up! My aunt's family is going to slaughter a pig. Let's go and watch together."
Su Miao hurriedly put on her clothes and ran out with the children without combing her hair or washing her face. She was rubbing her eye boogers as she ran.
At Su Miao's third aunt's house, several strong men were holding down a fat pig weighing more than 200 pounds. The cigarette in the third aunt's mouth was emitting green smoke, and the pig-killing knife in his hand was flashing coldly in the morning light.
"A Sheng, hold the basin steady!"
As the third uncle finished speaking, there was a flash of a knife, and the steaming pig's blood flowed into the enamel basin.
The children watching the scene were braver than in previous years, and the adults no longer tried to stop them from watching the pig slaughtering.
They themselves were both scared and excited. Lele covered his eyes but still peeked through his fingers.
The women had already boiled two large pots of water, and the men were busy shaving and gutting the pigs.
Before noon, the fresh pork was cut up. Each part had its own use. Third Aunt selected two beautiful pieces of pork belly and a pork leg, and kept the offal to cook the pig-killing dish in the evening, and invited relatives to come home for a drink.
Suddenly, there was a crackling sound of firecrackers outside the yard, and the children ran out screaming.
Su Miao's cousin, Ayong, was holding a smoking incense stick and was about to light the second string of firecrackers when his mother grabbed his ear and scolded him:
"Spendthrift! These were meant for Chinese New Year, and now that we're done, what's the point of setting them off for Chinese New Year?"
Su Miao was amused by her cousin Ayong's grinning face. Just as she was about to step forward to rescue him, she heard her second aunt come out and call her:
"Miao Miao, come back for breakfast! Your sixth uncle's family killed a pig early. I got some blood and made some blood sausage. It's most delicious when it's freshly steamed and eaten hot!"
Except for Su Miao, everyone else had already had breakfast. Not wanting to miss the hustle and bustle everywhere, Su Miao had to go back and eat by himself.
