Chapter 102 Attending the Wedding
After Lu Xiaoxiao put all the things she received today into her space, she thought for a while and took out a few imported snacks sent by Zhang Xu from her space. She had never eaten imported snacks of this era and didn't know if they tasted good.
With a book, a cup of tea and some desserts, Lu Xiaoxiao spent a leisurely afternoon in the yard.
The next morning, after Lu Xiaoxiao finished cutting grass for the pigs and delivered it to the pig farm, she met Zhang Weiye on her way home. He invited her to attend his wedding with Liu Meimei, the daughter of the secretary of the first production brigade, which would be the day after tomorrow.
Zhang Weiye is a nice person. Since he personally invited her, she will definitely go. She just doesn't know if weddings in this era will be like those on TV.
Since she didn't know what gift to give when attending Zhang Weiye's wedding, she went to the educated youth site to ask Liu Xiaomei, who had no festival with her.
Liu Xiaomei said that because Zhang Weiye had a good relationship with everyone at the educated youth site, they jointly bought a pair of thermoses for Zhang Weiye, and then each of them gave fifty cents as a gift.
After listening to Liu Xiaomei, she had an idea in her mind. Since the people at the educated youth point gave a thermos and added 50 cents as a gift, then if she didn't give a thermos, she could just double the gift. This way, no one would find fault with her.
The wedding day soon arrived. Since it was inconvenient for Zhang Weiye to live in the educated youth camp because he was getting married, he applied to the team for a homestead to build a new house. Now she followed the people in the educated youth camp towards Zhang Weiye's home.
As soon as Lu Xiaoxiao arrived at Zhang Weiye's house, she saw Zhang Weiye asking the male comrades at the educated youth point to go with him to the branch secretary's house to pick up the bride, as he was afraid of missing the auspicious time.
Zhang Weiye's family bought him a bicycle for his marriage. Although his home was very close to the bride's home, Zhang Weiye still rode the bicycle to pick up the bride. In those days, picking up the bride on a bicycle was a very face-saving thing.
Because Lu Xiaoxiao was curious about what a wedding was like, she followed them towards the bride's house.
When Lu Xiaoxiao arrived at the bride's house, she saw Zhang Weiye greet his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and then he was waiting at the door holding his bicycle.
When Lu Xiaoxiao was wondering what he was doing, she heard everyone shouting, "The bride is coming, the bride is coming..."
She looked in the direction everyone was looking and saw the bride being carried by a man towards Zhang Weiye. When Zhang Weiye saw the bride coming, he quickly parked his bicycle, then reached out and took the bride off the man's back, and said thank you to his brother-in-law.
After Zhang Weiye carried the bride to the back seat of the bicycle, he pushed the bicycle towards home. The male comrades who came with him carried the bride's dowry and followed behind the bicycle. Along the way, many children followed behind the bicycle to watch the bride, and the scene was very lively.
They returned to Zhang Weiye's home not long after, and the bride and groom became real husband and wife after taking an oath in front of everyone.
Next was the start of the meal. There were a total of six dishes, namely, cabbage stewed with tofu, pork with sauerkraut, pork with vermicelli, braised fish, braised potatoes and egg soup.
After Lu Xiaoxiao heard Zhang Weiye say "enjoy your meal", she saw that all the dishes in front of her were gone. She was dumbfounded by this scene. This was even more exaggerated than what was shown on TV. The dishes were really gone in just a few seconds.
Lu Xiaoxiao swallowed her saliva and silently put the chopsticks in her hand on the table. Then she saw everyone finished the food in their bowls, stood up, said hello to the groom and left, so she also hurriedly said hello to Zhang Weiye and left.
After returning home, Lu Xiaoxiao flashed into the space. She thought that although the whole process of Zhang Weiye's wedding today was simple, it was very warm. Compared with the complicated and cumbersome weddings in the future, she still prefers this simple and warm one.
