Just as Mu Hehe was wondering what to do, a male voice came from behind the crowd.
"Mu Zhiqing, are we moving the 'three turns and one sound' now? Where's the car you mentioned?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the courtyard looked towards the source of the sound.
When they saw what was covered by a cloth at the entrance of the courtyard, they all widened their eyes in surprise.
"Mu Zhiqing, did Comrade Lu Yunqi buy you a three-wheeled radio and a sewing machine?"
Mu Hehe changed from her previous dejected state to being full of energy.
Instead of answering everyone's questions directly, he walked to the door, lifted the cloth covering the door, and revealed the three large pieces underneath.
As expected, I heard cheers from the people around me.
Lu Yunqi also straightened his back and looked at Yu Yao with a hint of pride on his face.
Regret it now, don't you? If you had changed your mind and married me, all these things would have been yours.
Yu Yao rolled her eyes.
What good things haven't I seen? Why would I care about this?
Mu Hehe picked up the small black box on the sewing machine, took out the watch inside, and put it on her wrist.
A young man from Baihe Brigade recognized the watch: "It's a Shuideng brand watch. I saw it when my cousin got married. It's quite expensive."
Chi Yunxiang exclaimed in surprise, "Mu Zhiqing, the Lu family really values you. They even provided you with such a difficult-to-obtain 'three turns and one sound' (referring to a set of three watches, one ring, and one radio). This watch looks great on you."
Mu Hehe feigned modesty: "I didn't expect Yunqi to value me so much. I told him I didn't need to buy it, but he insisted, and I couldn't refuse."
Chi Yunxiang suddenly thought of something and deliberately looked at Yu Yao.
"I heard that Comrade Yu is also highly valued by the Lu family. Why haven't I seen your 'three turns and one sound'? Could it be that you weren't prepared?"
Those around exchanged glances upon hearing this: "Everyone says Yu Yao is highly regarded by the Lu family, but she didn't even get a wedding gift. It's all just talk."
Before Yu Yao could speak, Mu Hehe spoke first, "Don't misunderstand, you can't buy the 'three turns and one sound' even if you have money. Tickets are very hard to get. We only managed to gather them through friends' connections. It's normal that my uncle and the others couldn't get them either."
Aunt Wang also spoke up for Yu Yao: "The Lu family is unfamiliar with Qin Province, so it's normal that they can't afford the 'three turns and one sound' (referring to a set of three turns and one sound). These days, so many people get married without the 'three turns and one sound' and still live happily."
Chi Yunxiang pouted: "The 'three turns and one sound' are not easy to obtain, but you can still tell whether someone has put their heart into it."
Yu Yao asked Lu Ze to put her down.
He glanced at the three-wheeled doorway and the ring in Mu Hehe's hand, and smiled: "Chi Zhiqing is right, you can tell whether someone puts their heart into a marriage."
Chi Yunxiang was pleased with herself.
Mu Hehe's eyes also held a smile.
Yu Yao then changed the subject, looking at a young man in the crowd, "All you men, listen carefully. If any of you want to marry Chi Zhiqing in the future, and you don't have the 'three turns and one sound' (referring to a specific type of jewelry), then you're not serious. Don't even think about it."
With such a foul mouth, don't blame me for pinching your weak spot!
Upon hearing this, Chi Yunxiang's expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly looked at a young man in the crowd.
The other person didn't even glance at her and walked away.
The man was the son of the brigade accountant. Chi Yunxiang liked him and was willing to give up the opportunity to return to the city in order to marry him.
However, given the other party's family circumstances, it would be extremely difficult to gather the necessary funds for the three turns and one sound.
Isn't Yu Yao ruining her chances of getting married by saying that?
She tried to chase after her, but the other person disappeared in a flash, so Chi Yunxiang took her anger out on Yu Yao.
"Yu Yao, all you're saying is just to cover up the fact that you're not valued. Is it so hard to admit that your husband doesn't value you that much? Nobody will laugh at you then."
Lu Ze was about to speak when Yu Yao stopped him.
She's good at tearing people apart.
"Our marriage has nothing to do with whether or not we buy the 'three turns and one sound' (referring to a set of three turns and one sound), and not having the 'three turns and one sound' doesn't mean our marriage is unhappy."
"Lu Ze would have prepared it for me if I wanted it, but I found it too troublesome and refused."
After Yu Yao finished speaking, she smiled and touched the pocket of her wedding dress.
Inside were industrial vouchers for the three major items, totaling more than seventy vouchers.
These days, everything from small items like batteries, towels, and enamel basins to large items like tin thermos flasks and electric whistles.
Industrial coupons are basically required for anything produced in industry.
These tickets are valid nationwide. Lu Ze never expected to marry her this time, and it took him a lot of trouble to find so many.
Because he hadn't bought the three major items (essential consumer goods), Lu Ze felt indebted to her, so he gave her the ticket.
With money and tickets, her wedding would be considered a complete affair, no worse than others.
Yu Yao kept this matter low-key and didn't tell anyone.
Chi Yunxiang seemed to have heard a joke and did not believe Yu Yao's words at all.
Yu Yao walked up to Chi Yunxiang, glanced at Mu Hehe, and exaggeratedly covered her mouth: "Niece-in-law, you're not going to bring three big items on the train, are you?"
After saying that, she kindly reminded Mu Hehe, "We're leaving for Guangdong the day after tomorrow. The watch is fine, but the sewing machine, radio, and bicycle are hard to carry, so you should plan ahead."
Mu Hehe's smile froze.
In her past life, she had housekeepers and servants to move things, so she didn't have to lift a finger and completely forgot about it.
Lu Yunqi is about the same.
In his past life, whenever he went on a long trip, Yu Yao would arrange all his luggage, and he didn't have to worry about anything.
They were dumbfounded.
The others nodded in agreement. "Yu is right. Qin Province is so far from Guangdong Province. It takes several days to travel by train. It's really inconvenient to travel with all this stuff."
"If I were Yu Yatou, I wouldn't buy it either, even if I had the money and the ticket."
"Looking at it this way, anyone who buys it is a fool; you can't take this thing with you at all."
Mu Hehe and Lu Yunqi couldn't laugh.
They were so focused on outshining Yu Yao and Lu Ze at the wedding that they completely forgot about such an important matter.
Yu Defu, who was standing to the side, looked at the three large items with a happy expression and quickly stepped forward.
"You don't need to worry about the three main things: your daughter and son-in-law. They can stay at the Yu family home after the wedding. I'll take care of them for you."
Mu Hehe and Lu Yunqi were both unwilling.
This thing cost several hundred dollars in total, and even the landlord's family had no surplus grain.
Staying with the Yu family would be tantamount to giving it away to Yu Defu for free.
Yu Defu didn't care what Mu Hehe and Lu Yunqi were thinking; he already considered the three major items as his own.
Chi Yunxiang originally intended to help Mu Hehe suppress Yu Yao, but she didn't expect it to backfire. Wanting to make amends, she acted impulsively and suddenly thought of something, pointing at Yu Yao and saying:
"You're lying!"
As if she had caught something incriminating, Chi Yunxiang's voice was sharp and sarcastic.
"You think you can just get whatever you want? Do you think the 'three turns and one sound' (referring to a watch, a bicycle, a radio, and a watch) are some cheap, common thing? These things not only cost money, but also require tickets. Do you think just anyone can get tickets in such a short time?"
"Pah! What are you pretending to be? I don't believe you."
Yu Yao's lips curled into a smile. "What will you say if I produce a ticket?"
Chi Yunxiang didn't take Yu Yao seriously at all. "If you can produce it now, I'll eat shit while standing on my head."
“You said it yourself,” Yu Yao sneered.
If you want to take advantage of her, you'd better eat shit upside down first!
