Manyu Mei felt the pressure of the family's financial deficit, so except for breastfeeding, she let Hu Yinchen take care of the child while she stayed in the store to concentrate on selling clothes.
But despite this, they still have to set aside a day to return to the village.
Because June 8th is the wedding day of Gao Mingli and Zhang Jinling, Gao Mingcheng and his wife, as well as Gao Shufang, must go back to offer gifts and drink wine.
The entire wedding was organized by Gao Yuanjian and Luo Xiaohua. Gao Mingli worked in the county and had no time to spare, and he didn't have much money either.
When Luo Xiaohua asked him for money, Gao Mingli was unwilling to give out money because he was not so satisfied with Zhang Jinling from the bottom of his heart. He just said that he didn't have much money. He also said that when his eldest brother got married, all the things were prepared by the family and his eldest brother didn't give out any money.
After hearing this, Luo Xiaohua was angry, but there was nothing he could do. He could only pay for everything himself and provide manpower.
On the day of the wedding, Gao Mingcheng and the other two had to go back to the village, so the store had to be left to Luo Li and Hu Yinchen.
Having had this experience, Luo Li said confidently that there would be no problem and that she would definitely take good care of the store.
Gao Mingcheng said: "We will be back soon after lunch."
As the weather is getting warmer, and the store has just released new styles of clothing, the store has been seeing more traffic recently. Young girls who love beauty are saving up money to buy a fashionable skirt to wear.
They did not set out until ten in the morning. Because they were riding a tractor, the speed was slow, so they did not arrive at the village until eleven o'clock. They parked the car directly at the pond at the entrance of the village, and then the three of them went to my parents' house for the wedding banquet.
As for Gao Mingli, he had already returned early the day before.
Because this morning, he would go to pick up Zhang Jinling accompanied by his friends.
In the past, when he went back to the village alone, he usually borrowed Xuanmei's bicycle, but now that he was getting married, his family finally paid for him to buy a brand new 28-inch bicycle.
Xuanyuemei's bicycle is a women's one. It is of course okay for a man to ride it, but it is not grand enough, especially since he has to pick up the bride today.
Because Zhang Jinling's village is some distance away from Gaojia Village, after Gao Mingcheng and his friends came back, Gao Mingli and his group happily took the bride back.
After the newlyweds arrived, the atmosphere became cheerful and festive.
There is no such thing as a wedding emcee at this moment, but the elders still have to say a few words to the newlyweds. Some wish them a long and happy life together, some remind them to help each other, and more people just urge them to have children soon.
After a while of noise, the banquet began.
The custom here is not to wait until everyone is seated together before the meal can begin, but the meal can begin as soon as the table is full.
But if the table is not full, you cannot start eating until the table is full.
So everyone would call their friends and sit together.
Gao Mingcheng's family still sat at the table outside the yard. They were afraid that Xuanmei would get tired if she held the child for too long, so she held Xiao Xuxu herself.
Compared to him, Gao Mingwan was much busier. Gao Mingli helped when Gao Mingwan got married, so when Gao Mingli got married, Gao Mingwan was busy running around, helping to serve dishes, passing cigarettes to people, and after the meal started, he followed Gao Mingli and toasted to people at each table.
He can drink a lot now and can help Gao Mingli block the drinking.
His wife Wang Xiuxiu was much quieter. She sat next to Xuanyuemei, and the two of them talked in low voices about the kindergarten teacher training during the summer vacation.
Wang Xiuxiu learned from many people that Gao Mingli had bought pianos, guitars and other musical instruments, and she was immediately excited.
Wangjia Village, where Wang Xiuxiu lives, has a strong academic atmosphere, but it is a small village after all, so there is no chance to get in touch with something as expensive as a piano.
Her eyes sparkled slightly, and she said excitedly: "Then I must study hard!"
"Yeah!" Xuan Xiumei nodded and secretly decided to study hard.
My family has invested a lot of money in this kindergarten teacher training. If I can’t learn it, it will be a big loss.
The dishes were served, the seats were full, and then we started eating.
Jiangxi cuisine has a characteristic, that is, it is spicy. So no matter how sumptuous the dishes at the wedding are, babies who are afraid of spicy food cannot eat them. Gao Mingcheng can only give little Xuxu a white steamed bun to chew on.
After the banquet, Gao Mingcheng and his family quickly returned to the county because they were concerned about the business in the store.
On the way, Xuanyuemei said with some surprise: "I thought that after they got married, Jinling would come to live with us, but I didn't expect that it was not the case."
Gao Shufang knew this, and she said immediately: "Mom said it's not good for a couple to live in someone else's house, so she let my fourth sister-in-law stay at home. She also said that after we sell the pigs this winter and have money to make wine, we will go to the county to buy a house for my fourth brother and his wife to live in."
After hearing this, Gao Mingcheng wanted to roll his eyes. This was definitely just empty talk!
His father could indeed earn a thousand yuan from distilling wine throughout the year, and several hundred yuan from selling pigs, but this amount of money was not enough to buy a house in the county!
Unless you work hard for several more years!
However, considering that the country allowed collective funding for house construction in 1992, if Gao Mingli had continued to work in the sugar factory, he could have bought a self-built house in the factory.
Collective housing construction means the state provides the land and individuals pay for the construction costs, which is still very cost-effective. Although you only have half of the property rights, in the subsequent housing reform policy, you can pay more money to buy the other half of the property rights.
Manyu Mei had seen the family account book and knew how much it would cost to buy land and build a house, as well as how much it would cost to buy a finished house. So she immediately said, "My parents said they would buy them a house in a year? How is that possible?"
Gao Shufang was no longer a little girl who knew nothing. After hearing this, she fell into suspicious silence.
It is absolutely impossible to buy a house by saving money for a year.
Unless Gao Yuan saw them asking the other children in the family to borrow money.
I have to say that the brothers and sisters in the family are actually doing quite well. Not to mention Gao Mingcheng, Gao Mingpeng also earns a lot by contracting work at a construction site. In addition, he lives and eats at his parents' house, and he also produces crops from the fields. So, at the end of the year, he earns a lot and spends little, so he must have a lot of money on his hands.
Gao Mingwan made a lot of money driving a sports car. With his own ability, he bought a house in the county and paid the bride price to marry a wife.
Although Gao Shufang is the youngest sister, she now has about a thousand yuan in her hands.
If each of them lent Gao Yuanjian one thousand yuan, then the house in Gaomingli could be bought.
But one thousand yuan is not a small amount of money, and Gao Mingcheng's own family is almost in financial deficit.
Gao Shufang thought for a moment and added, "There is also the money from Fourth Sister-in-law raising chickens and selling eggs and chicks! Mom told Fourth Sister-in-law to raise chickens at home and hatch chicks to sell, and all the money from the sales will belong to Fourth Sister-in-law herself."
Zhang Jinling's family relies on this to make money. Zhang Jinling also has the skill to hatch chicks, and knows how to take care of the chicks and make the hens lay more eggs.
This is indeed a skill that can provide people with food and clothing, but it is difficult to make a lot of money from it!
"What did fourth brother's wife say? Did she agree?" Xuan Xumei herself did not go into the house and had been sitting outside, so she did not know the specific situation. At this moment, her gossip soul was burning.
Gao Shufang said: "I think Fourth Sister-in-law didn't seem very happy. She agreed only after she heard that the money from selling the chickens would belong to her."
A newlywed couple is forced to separate right after their marriage. Anyone would be unhappy if this happened to them.
But the charm of money is indeed infinite. For the sake of money, many injustices seem to be tolerable.
Zhang Jinling worked at her parents' home and all the money she earned belonged to her parents. Now that her in-laws allow her to earn money on her own, she is naturally happy.
Although the husband is good, money is more real!
In addition to the money she earned, she also had a fantasy in her heart that she would be able to live in the city in the future. This fantasy allowed her to endure hardships temporarily.
But what she didn't know was that as long as you are willing to endure hardships, there will be endless hardships to endure! (End of this chapter)
