When they have time later, they can make more to make up for it.
When they arrived at the door of his house, the villagers saw Jiang Yunchen moving large and small bags from the car into the house after work.
Aunt Ma smiled and said, "This must be the future son-in-law of the Qiao family! He is so handsome. Xia Zhi is a lucky girl. Are you here to propose marriage?"
Grandma Jiang took out a bag of candy and distributed it to everyone while she smiled and replied, "This is my grandson. He came to the Qiao family to propose marriage today. If you are free, you can come and sit with us. When the children get married, remember to come and have a drink at the wedding."
When everyone saw that the future son-in-law of the Qiao family was rich and generous, they all started praising him non-stop.
"Xia Zhi is now grown up and sensible. I didn't expect that he would get married so soon."
"It's so fast, Xia Zhi is getting married in the blink of an eye."
"That's right. But this one I found this time looks pretty good."
"People who serve in the military are all responsible, so that's naturally good."
"What position does the son-in-law of the Qiao family hold in the army?" Aunt Ma asked curiously on behalf of everyone.
Qiao Daguo, who was helping to move things, happened to hear it and said proudly: "My brother-in-law is now the commander of the 13th District of the Northern Army."
Hearing this, the aunts were shocked.
Although everyone had roughly guessed his identity before, it was still a different feeling than hearing it with your own ears.
"Wow, you're already the leader at such a young age!"
"Not bad, young man. You are already the head of a regiment at such a young age. It is not impossible for you to become a chief in the future!"
"Captain! He is not a junior officer. I heard he has a lot of soldiers under him."
"Will Xia Zhi follow him to the army after he gets married? I heard that officers can bring their wives with them."
Qiao Daguo: "I don't know yet. Xia Zhi said he still wants to go to a medical college. If he goes to school, he may not follow him for the time being."
Upon hearing this, the villagers sighed again.
"Xiazhi still has to go to school, to the Medical College!"
"I heard that the tuition at that school is very expensive. It's not cheaper than going to high school."
"But after graduating from that school, you can work in a health center or hospital. It's a stable job. Most importantly, it's easy to find a job after graduating from that school. It's not certain that you can get one after graduating from high school."
"Xia Zhi is becoming more and more promising. But this child has been smart since she was young. If she goes to the Medical College, she will definitely have a bright future."
"Of course not. The Qiao family originally had a royal physician. It's not surprising that Xia Zhi is studying medicine now."
"Wow, you bought so many big items. Didn't you just move a bicycle in? Now there's a sewing machine too?" Suddenly Wang Cuihua saw Qiao Daguo and Qiao Erguo carrying a sewing machine, and was shocked.
The Qiao family has found a rich son-in-law!
But think about it, he is the head of the group, so it is only right for him to have a grand wedding.
Qiao Daguo couldn't hide his pride. "When we discussed it the day before yesterday, we originally agreed to buy a bicycle. We didn't really use the bicycle, but my brother-in-law insisted on buying it. As a result, when it was delivered today, he also arranged for an electric fan and a sewing machine!"
"There's an electric fan!" Everyone expressed surprise in unison.
Although electric fans consume electricity, people in the countryside usually save electricity because electricity has to be paid for. But electric fans are good things. I heard that it is very comfortable to turn them on in the summer, and it is comfortable to sleep!
If I could have an electric fan at home, it wouldn't matter if it consumed a little electricity.
But I heard that this thing is very expensive, costing several hundred dollars.
This expensive thing was out of reach for the common people who farmed at that time.
This is a bicycle that costs over a hundred dollars, a sewing machine that costs over a hundred dollars, and an electric fan that costs a few hundred dollars. These alone cost several hundred dollars!!!
It would be strange if this didn't shock everyone.
(For the prices of the three major items, please refer to the price list of Hunan prices in 1973: bicycle 158, sewing machine 138, electric fan 340)
"It's very hot standing here, come in and sit down, enjoy the fan and chat slowly!" Qiao Daguo warmly invited everyone to come in and enjoy the fan. No one could sit still, so they immediately went into the yard and waited for the fan.
Qiao Daguo turned on the electric fans for everyone.
Qiao Dongzhi and Qiao Xiaohua helped pour a cup of brown sugar water for everyone.
Although not much brown sugar was added, everyone tasted sweet while drinking it, but still felt extremely satisfied.
What's more, this time, not only did we drink brown sugar water, but we also gave everyone several pieces of milk candy and had fans blowing on them.
Everyone was chatting in the yard.
Qiao Daguo, Qiao Erguo, and Jiang Yunchen were responsible for moving things into the house.
Fang Mei, her daughter-in-law and sister-in-law Xu Li were all busy in the kitchen preparing today's lunch.
Looking at the kitchen, it seems that today's dishes are all good, and the aroma wafts out from time to time.
Everyone was drooling at the smell.
