Dinner was prepared by Zhang Xiu Lan and Zhao Mei Xia.
As before, the meal was plentiful.
This meal also had a special meaning. It was the first time that Li Jinfeng and Lu Jianguo cooked in their new home. So even though it was late in the afternoon, Li Dahe drove his tractor to the city and bought a box of orange-flavored soda.
Of course, he would pay for the fuel himself.
In the past, the brigade had a lax approach to the use of tractors by tractor technicians, and now it is even laxer.
As long as it doesn't delay the team's work and you just have to pay for the gas yourself, it's fine.
Even the team members could come and borrow the tractor when they had a happy event, but of course they had to pay double the price.
One is for gas, and the other is a red envelope for the driver Li Dahe.
While eating and drinking orange soda, this meal actually felt like a wedding banquet.
In other words, wedding banquets don’t have such high standards.
Orange-flavored soda alone costs so much per bottle.
"Grandpa, everyone...I have something to announce to you all!"
Halfway through the meal, Li Jinfeng stood up.
Jian Shu thought that they were talking about her marriage with Xiaobao, so her cheeks flushed and she looked embarrassed.
Before Li Jinfeng could speak, she buried her head in her chest.
Xiaobao picked up some food for him, looked at her with a smile on his face, and signaled her not to be nervous.
Everyone looked at Li Jinfeng expectantly, waiting for her to announce something big.
"It's Xiaobao and Xiaoshu. They want to hold their wedding in the brigade! Firstly, Xiaobao grew up here, and secondly, it's close to Grandma Zhang, so it'll be a good opportunity for her to see her granddaughter-in-law. Of course, when they return to the capital, they'll also hold a wedding and invite those relatives, colleagues, classmates, and the like who weren't invited."
Even in front of the Li family, Li Jinfeng did not tell them the purpose of Xiaobao and Jian Shu's marriage.
Anyway, in Li Jinfeng's opinion, all people need to do is give their blessings.
"You don't have much vacation time, do you?" Zhao Meixia said.
Xiaobao: "We only have less than a month!"
Count the time spent traveling there and back, and the time spent staying here.
Preparing to get married is indeed a bit hasty.
It was mainly people in the team getting married, and everyone started saving things several years ago.
Because everyone doesn’t get much in a year.
Even making a wedding dress would take several years of collecting cloth.
In addition, the cotton distributed each year may be enough to make a cotton-padded jacket. To make a wedding quilt, wouldn’t it take three to five years to save it?
It’s not enough to save money by yourself, you have to ask relatives and friends for help.
Li Jinfeng told everyone about her plan and her meeting with Captain Zhao.
Everyone thought this method was feasible.
Old Lady Li patted her chest and said, "I am very lucky. I have grandchildren and one of them has been admitted to a university in the capital. I will be responsible for helping to sew this wedding quilt!"
A wedding quilt is not just made of red cloth.
You also need to embroider something on it.
What about mandarin ducks playing in the water and peonies?
Old Mrs. Li is good at needlework, and having her help can save us a lot of trouble.
"My mother is a matchmaker. She should have some stuff that can be used for weddings. I'll get it!" said Zhao Meixia.
Zhang Xiu Lan also saved up some good cloth over the years, but she was reluctant to use it to make clothes.
Now is the perfect time to take it out.
