Chapter 182 Untitled 2
The elderly people having the banquet here have seen such lively scenes. In the past, those families with some wealth would do the same.
As for the young people aged 17 or 18, it was the first time they had seen such a scene.
"Mr. Yali, please listen to me. This is my first time in school and my first time in an examination room. I don't know the names of these etiquettes. Please forgive me, Mr. Yali. Let's go inside and discuss it."
This is the reasonable man invited by the Zhao family.
As soon as he opened his mouth, this person explained that this was the first time he had learned something from the elders and that he had never hosted such an event before.
To start the feast here, we just have to wait for everyone inside to finish their tea and scatter their chopsticks, then we can start the feast.
After Zhao Yi finished his meal at the Zhao family's daughter's wedding, he followed the wedding procession to Chenjia Village.
It can be seen that Chen Yan really likes Zhao Yan, otherwise he wouldn't have put so much thought into making things so lively.
This was when his parents didn't care, and he asked the villagers for help with most of the things he did.
The meal at Chenjia Village was a bit more modest, with bone soup stewed with radish and potatoes, and the main feature was the large quantity that was enough to fill you up.
No wonder the bride-picking party went to the Zhao family. They were like starving ghosts who had been reincarnated. They finished a plate of food in three seconds at most, and even used hot water to boil the grease off the plate.
Those who came to see the bride off were not surprised to see this scene. Now among the surrounding villages, except Zhangjia Village, few could match the level of banquets held in Wangou Village.
"This is the gift your brother-in-law asked me to bring."
Zhao Yi took out a piece of floral cloth from the backpack and handed five yuan to Chen Yan. "This is a gift from your sister-in-law and me to you." Zhao Yi then took out a pair of pillowcases and handed over two yuan.
This is also what Zhao Yi gave to Zhao Laoshi's house, and it is the same here.
"Brother Yi, I will start sending meat to you the day after tomorrow when I am done with my work. We are too busy here and don't have a place to stay so I won't host you. We will go to the city to thank you later when we have a chance."
Chen Yan was very touched to see Zhao Yi coming over in person. You know how busy Zhao Yi is in the city. He has no time to come for the banquet. He has to go to work and help out in the restaurant at night.
This shows that Zhao Yi respects himself from the bottom of his heart.
"Don't say these words. I wish you a happy marriage and a baby soon."
After Zhao Yi finished speaking, he carried the basket on his back and rushed towards Wangou Village. It was probably too late to go back to catch the car now, so he could only take the old road to the area.
When Zhao Yi arrived at the department store, everyone had just finished watching TV and were leaving one after another.
When Zhang Jing saw Zhao Yi coming back, a smile immediately appeared on her face.
"How are you, the boss? How is the situation at Uncle Laoshi's house?"
Zhang Jing looked at Zhao Yi with some curiosity.
"We slaughtered a big fat pig to hold the banquet. What do you think the scene was like?"
Zhao Yi joked.
Zhao Laoshi's family has separated from his eldest son, and there are only his daughter and youngest son in the family. Now all the married people in Wangou Village have separated from each other, because in this way their family can raise two more big fat pigs. Although one has to be handed over, there is still the harvest of the other, and there is also one more share of dividends from the village.
Now that the daughter’s matter is settled, the two elders still have their youngest son to take care of.
However, the young people in Wangou Village don’t have to worry about this now. There are few villages as good as Wangou Village, so they don’t have to worry about not being able to find a wife.
"Even if you slaughter a big fat pig, you can only take back half of it, but this kind of feast is already considered high-end."
"Now all banquets in the village are held in this standard. Those who are going to marry off their daughters and those who are going to marry off their daughters-in-law have prepared big fat pigs."
Zhao Yi smiled.
early morning.
The newlyweds Chen Yan and Zhao Yan got up early and made breakfast to entertain the people who came to help during the past few days. After these people returned their things, the two of them came to the commune carrying books, benches and mats.
I started setting up a comic book stall.
"There shouldn't be much business if there's no market."
Chen Yan looked at his wife and said.
"Let's try it first. After a while, maybe we'll have customers every day."
Zhao Yan smiled.
But Zhao Yan knew that there was a group of little kids from Wangou Village and Zhangjia Village who ran to the city every day. His younger brother was one of them. These kids were only twelve or thirteen years old. It didn’t matter much to their families whether they worked or not. As long as they got up in the morning and cut grass for the pigs, they could get a few cents of pocket money.
I either came to the commune to buy popsicles or went into the city to read comic books. I went home around three in the afternoon and continued to cut grass for the pigs in the evening.
Sure enough, just as I set up my stall, a group of little guys appeared on the commune street. The current commune streets are also dirt roads. You can set up stalls when the weather is good, but you can't set up the picture books on rainy days.
Zhao Yan wanted to see if the comic book business could be stable. If it could be stable, she would apply here to build a bamboo house and pay a certain amount of money to the government every month. This way she would not have to run back and forth, and the books would not get wet on rainy days.
"Boss, in addition to comic books, I also want to sell popsicles. Sometimes the popsicle sellers in the city don't come to the commune, so this way I can have another source of income besides comic books."
Zhao Yan said as she looked at Chen Yan who was asking the little one to read a book.
"Okay, but I'm a little worried about you running back and forth. I heard from Brother Yi that bicycle repair places in the city occasionally sell second-hand bicycles. When I earn enough money, I can get you a second-hand bicycle."
Chen Yan looked at Zhao Yan and said.
"You are so nice to be the head of the family."
At the end of the day, Zhao Yan earned three cents.
I carefully calculated in my mind that if I could make 30 cents a day, and even if I could only set up a bookstall for 20 days, it would be quite cost-effective to pay the commune three yuan a month in rent to build a bamboo house. Not only could I set up a stall for people to read books, but I could also sell other snacks, such as popsicles, which the little ones especially liked.
However, popsicles are a seasonal product and cannot be sold after the hot weather.
Zhao Yan really couldn't think of any good solution for the time being.
area.
Zhao Yi was drinking wine with two carpenters.
The four of them worked for Zhao Yi's family. They started work before dawn and worked for another hour after everyone else got off work.
The awning was built quickly, but the tables and benches were not.
Fortunately, there are still more than ten days before the banquet, so there is still enough time. Anyway, Zhao Yi does not plan to paint these things now. Even if they are not painted, they can be used for many years.
"Xiao Yi."
Chen Fen came over at this time.
"What's wrong, sister-in-law?"
Zhao Yi asked.
"I just want to ask Xiaoyan if he has any thoughts on us not going back after getting married."
Chen Fen felt a little embarrassed. She was so busy with her brother's wedding that she couldn't leave at all. She felt a little ashamed.
"No, he knows you guys are busy here, so he should come here tomorrow to prepare the return gift."
Zhao Yi smiled.
Originally, Chen Fen planned to ask Zhang Jing to help keep an eye on things and go back herself, but Zhang Jing didn't get leave.
