Luo Hao had been preparing for the wedding for months, and everything was ready. The only thing he hadn't expected was that Mu Xiaoting's parents suddenly changed their minds.
Originally, Mu Xiaoting said she wanted to get married, and it was said that she was also very familiar with Li Ping. Her mother and stepfather both agreed.
Luo Hao had already visited both of them; they were both intellectuals and liked him very much, so he thought everything was going smoothly.
Later, for some reason, her parents changed their minds and told her to find someone from a county town and not to have any more contact with him.
Mu Xiaoting naturally disagreed. Luo Hao was her first love, the first person to kiss her when she first fell in love, and she even took the initiative to be with him.
Now that Luo Hao has made up his mind to marry her and has made all the preparations, she has backed down. How can she face people in the future?
But torn between her parents and her lover, she felt lost and conflicted. When she had no one to confide in, she talked to Pan Jun a few times.
Although Pan Jun studied science and engineering, he listened very carefully to her troubles and comforted her with classical allusions.
She only felt that Pan Jun was rational and gentle, like an older brother, accompanying her, guiding her, and resolving her doubts.
When she was ten years old, her family gained a stepfather, and later a younger brother. Her relationship with her mother became distant, and from that time on, she made many decisions on her own.
She worked hard to earn money so that she could break away from her original family and start her own independent life.
Gradually, she came to understand that her parents couldn't bind her for life; ultimately, she would have to face the world alone.
Perhaps they were afraid she would marry into a poor family in the countryside, but that was her decision, and she believed she could make a good life for herself.
With Pan Jun's encouragement, Mu Xiaoting wrote a letter home, analyzing her emotional journey and resolving to marry into the countryside.
Mu Xiaoting's stepfather didn't say anything more, but her mother still resolutely said that if she insisted on going her own way, she would have to sever their mother-daughter relationship.
She would never attend the wedding, much less allow Luo Hao to return to her home; it would be best if the two families never spoke to each other again.
Mu Xiaoting also lost her temper. She decided to cut ties, since she had earned some money from her cousin, enough to live on for many years.
And so, on the wedding day, Luo Hao went to Tiger's house to pick up his bride.
Tiger and Li Ping were also greeted by Wen Li, but no relatives from Mu Xiaoting's side were present.
The wedding was still very lively, with the whole brigade coming to Luo Hao's house to see the bride.
The banquet lasted for two days before it ended.
Mu Xiaoting officially married into the Luo family and began a brand new life.
Newlywed Luo Hao finally got to taste the joys of having a wife and no longer had to listen to Lin Ye's sarcastic remarks.
Only then did I realize how wonderful it is to have a wife.
He couldn't understand why some men wouldn't sleep with their wives but instead go out and have affairs.
He decided that he would treat Mu Xiaoting well for the rest of his life.
The house Luo Hao built for her has a separate kitchen and toilet, so she can eat with Aunt Luo and the others, and it's also convenient for her to cook something herself if she wants.
The room was fully equipped with a sewing machine, radio, furniture, and so on. He even bought a bicycle so that she could go to the county town to see Tiger and the others whenever she wanted.
Luo Hao had a little over two thousand yuan left in his savings. He kept only two hundred yuan for himself and gave the rest to Mu Xiaoting to keep for her.
With Luo Hao's love and care, Mu Xiaoting quickly adapted to life in the countryside.
Lu Wanqing already had a good relationship with her, and then introduced Lin Chunhua, Chen Xiangxiu and others to her. The women had endless topics to talk about with each other, including men, children and work.
However, she and Li Fang didn't have much to say to each other.
At first, she greeted Fang-jie with a smile and affection, but Fang-jie turned her face away and seemed to dislike her. So she didn't try to be friendly with her and just maintained a superficial harmony. She knew very well that not many sisters-in-law could get along so well.
Later, after hearing from Lin Chunhua about Li Fang's changing feelings towards Lu Wanqing, Luo Hao realized that he couldn't get along with her as his sister-in-law and simply suggested that Luo Hao separate the family.
There wasn't much to divide at home, except that we weren't eating from the same pot anymore.
She and Luo Hao would eat together, and they would just prepare one or two dishes for a meal.
Eating with them and having to take turns cooking for everyone is a hassle.
However, this means that Luo Hao would need to give his aunt three yuan a month as a token of respect.
Luo Hao thought that although the money was not much, he and Mu Xiaoting would have children in the future, and their expenses would increase. They couldn't just sit around and do nothing; they still had to find something to do.
Not only was he worried, but several recent high school graduates were also worried.
Lin Xiaocui was not hired by the soap factory and missed out on recruitment opportunities from other factories. Now she is learning from Lu Wanqing.
Wang Xu's grades were average, and he wasn't hired by the factory, so he had to go home.
Luo Chunlei does have a machinery factory that wants him, and he is still considering whether or not to go.
It's the double harvest season now, and everyone is busy harvesting rice and planting rice. Wang Xu and Luo Chunlei simply went to work in the fields as well. After a tiring day, they didn't have to think about those troublesome things.
A month later, after the harvest season ended, Lin Ye organized a dinner party.
On a hot summer day, Lin Chunhua moved the table to the banyan tree in the yard.
The setting sun painted half the sky red as everyone sat under the tree, eating and drinking soda, thoroughly enjoying themselves.
Looking at this scene that was both strange and familiar, Lin Ye was filled with emotion.
Last year, the gathering was held under the locust tree by the river, but the environment has changed drastically since then.
But the people are still the same. A year has passed, everyone has grown a year older, and everyone has experienced a lot, but we can still get together. It is such a fortunate thing.
"This year, we not only have Captain Wang's family with us, but also Xiaoting. This old table is already overflowing," Luo Hao said with a smile.
Lin Ye laughed and said, "Not only are there more of them, but also the three babies in my wife's belly! When the children are born, they can sit at a small table."
After he finished speaking, everyone smiled knowingly.
A gust of wind blew by, and the leaves rustled, displaying their vigorous vitality.
How they wished that such gatherings could continue forever.
After we finished eating with laughter and chatter, it was completely dark, and the full moon hung in the sky.
Lin Chunhua and Lin Xiaocui began tidying up the table, while the others continued their lively conversation around it.
Luo Hao asked Lin Ye what he planned to do if he didn't become a teacher.
After hearing this, Wang Guangming joked that even if Lin Ye did nothing, the team would still give him grain and money from selling crabs, which was a huge sum of money.
Lu Wanqing made a bold suggestion: to establish a construction team within the group.
The people who built the house for Luo Hao were all a team of men from the countryside.
As people's lives gradually improve, more and more houses are being built, and there is great potential for the construction industry in the future.
Luo Hao looked excited, but also a little worried. "But we don't know how to do anything!"
