May 18th,
This is an auspicious day for marriage.
This was a date that Mo Youshan specifically asked someone to choose; it was an auspicious day recently.
Mo Yuan and Lin Xue's wedding was set for this day.
Early in the morning, the entire Mo Yuan family was busy, including his uncle's family, the mother and son, and many relatives and neighbors who came to help.
Although the wedding ceremony was to take place at the former educated youth settlement at the east end of the village, the proper etiquette and customs still had to be observed.
Mo Yuan, in particular, didn't want to be perfunctory. It wasn't the busy farming season, so this was a good opportunity for everyone to have some fun.
In less than a month, it will be time to get into the busy wheat harvest.
Mo Yuan also wanted to change his image through this wedding; he couldn't help it, he'd been such a jerk before.
His reputation is too bad. If he gets together with Lin Xue, he'll inevitably have to deal with even more people.
One must maintain a certain image.
Although Mo Yuan's cooking is delicious, as the groom today, he naturally can't cook himself.
An uncle from the village was in charge of cooking. Back when everyone ate from the same pot, he and his team were responsible for preparing the meals in Xiaomozhuang.
So, his cooking skills are passable, especially since Mo Yuan had specifically communicated with him beforehand and provided some guidance.
I'm sure today's dishes will be a hit with the whole room!
In those times of scarcity and poverty, even oil and fat were a rare treat, let alone meat and fish.
So even if the taste isn't great, I believe it will still surprise everyone.
Breakfast was rather simple, since everyone would be busy with their own things afterward; Mo Yuan had to take the dog to pick up the bride.
The remaining people also need to prepare the lunch banquet.
Therefore, the large pot of shredded pork soup still drew praise from everyone.
He praised Mo Youshan for his magnanimity and openness!
Mo Youshan squatted to the side, smoking his pipe, his face beaming with smiles, accepting the compliments from the villagers with a clear conscience.
Although I initially thought Mo Yuan was being too extravagant this time, hearing so many people praising him...
Mo Youshan also felt light and comfortable all over, he had never been so proud before!
"Eat! Eat! Eat as much as you want over the big fire!"
Just as Mo Yuan's family was enjoying a lively, joyous, and peaceful occasion,
The atmosphere at Mo Yougan's family's home, not far south of the village, was rather somber.
"Honey, it's getting late. Let's head out, or we'll be late for the morning rush and lose a lot of money!"
Mo Yougan's wife had already loaded the car and was ready to call Mo Youshan to set off.
It must be said that people of this era still possess a strong work ethic and the ability to endure hardship, with the exception of a very few who are lazy and unwilling to work.
Basically, they'll spare no effort in any way that can make money. The Mo family is considered quite well-off in Xiaomo Village, but they still work tirelessly from dawn till dusk every day.
I don't know what happened, but today Mo You suddenly went out in the dark, I think he went to Mo Yuan's house for a quick look.
He didn't even load the truck when he got back; he just sulked there, his lips practically pouting to the sky!
"Money, money, money! Just thinking about money makes me angry! Mo Yuan, that little brat, got married today. I went to see it, and wow, they had all the 'three turns and one sound' (referring to a set of watches, a watch, a radio, and a watch) perfectly arranged, even more extravagant than city people. I heard they even gave that educated youth Lin a dowry of 288 yuan. Even our daughter's wedding wasn't this extravagant. They spend money so carelessly, and that's all my money! Mine!!!"
Mo Yougan roared at the top of his lungs, his voice so loud it could have blown the roof off. He cursed and thought viciously, "Who did the second brother find? Didn't he say it was a sure thing?"
They've hired some desperate thugs; they're sure to get the money back!
In the end, they didn't get the money back, and Mo Yuan beat them so badly they ended up in bed.
Where can I even complain to them about this?!
The thought of Mo Yuan's family spending money like water and gaining face in the village, all while using his money, made Mo Yougan feel extremely uncomfortable!
"Boss, why are you getting angry with the kid? Although we spent a lot of money, at least we bought out the business. We'll still earn a lot every day, and in less than a year, we'll have our principal and interest back. If you ask me, Mo Yuan may be smart, but he's just a little monkey. He's no match for you, the old fox! From now on, we'll have a monopoly on this business. We'll be rich in a few years. Then we can get Dayong a wife, hand over the business to them, and we can finally enjoy our retirement! Don't be angry, let's go. You'll feel bad if we earn less money!"
Hearing that he would earn less money, Mo Yougan finally got to work, "Let's go, let's go, don't forget to set up the stall!"
Speaking of his son, Mo Yougan felt a pang of anxiety. "Sigh," he thought, "it seems he's been hooking up with Old Wang's daughter from the next village lately."
Many people know that the girl had a somewhat ambiguous relationship with Mo Yuan. If it weren't for the Lin Zhiqing incident, she might be the one getting married by now.
What if the villagers start gossiping? Why is Mo Yuan always at odds with my family?
It's all the second son's fault for not handling things properly. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many problems. Maybe today would have been a funeral instead of a wedding!
I'll have to find another opportunity later. He cheated me out of so much money, I'll make sure he pays it back with interest. The money I, Mo Yougan, have isn't so easy to take!
Mo Yougan pulled the cart with a sinister look on his face, his mind filled with thoughts of how to target Mo Yuan.
At this very moment, Mo Yuan was unaware that he was being targeted by a venomous snake.
Even if he knew, he wouldn't have cared. Even if the other party didn't contact him, he would have taken action after the wedding!
He has quite a few trump cards up his sleeve, which he will use one by one when the time comes. Li Jianguo is currently clueless, and that person seems alright; he can help him out!
Just then, my sister-in-law, Chen Qiaoyun, walked in.
"Oh, young master, why haven't you moved yet? Hurry up and change into your new clothes, you're going to pick up the bride soon! You look great today, hmm, you're the best-looking one in our family! Hurry up and change!"
Urged by his sister-in-law, Mo Yuan changed into his newly made clothes and left the room.
This immediately attracted a crowd of onlookers. These days, who has new clothes? If you can wear clothes without patches and that are clean, you're considered a person who cares about their appearance!
Especially for children, they go through countless cycles of wearing the same clothes. It's not just "new for three years, old for three years," but rather patched and mended for another three years.
Some of the children had never seen new clothes before; at least in Mo Yuan's memory, he himself had never worn new clothes.
The eldest wears the clothes, then the second, then the third. This is so common, not only in rural areas but also in cities!
Now, Mo Yuan is wearing brand new clothes and a red flower. He's already good-looking.
Now, with this contrast, he looks even more handsome.
The courtyard was full of family members, and everyone was already in a good mood because of the delicious breakfast and the happy occasion.
Naturally, he didn't hesitate to offer words of praise.
Amidst a chorus of compliments and praise, Mo Yuan lightly mounted his bicycle.
Full of high spirits, accompanied by Gouzi and others, they embarked on their journey to pick up the bride!
Lin Xue, I'm here!
