Holding the remittance slip and parcel slip, Wang Chunni only told Xu Laidi before excitedly going to the Shen family and finding Shen Dayang.
When the two met, they discussed that the weather was getting colder and the roads were becoming more rugged and difficult to travel. So, in addition to picking up some things, they originally planned to buy all the wedding items when they went to town.
So the two of them went to find Old Yang, who was off work that day, and planned to hire a car to go to town immediately.
What the two of them didn't expect was that the things sent from the Wang family alone filled a whole truck, leaving no room for meat and vegetables for the wedding.
In addition to the three hundred yuan on the remittance slip, the Wang family also sent the young couple a lot of vouchers, especially industrial vouchers that they needed right now. The telegram from Wang's parents said that the money was for the young couple to buy wedding supplies.
Those tickets were reserved for the young couple to buy wedding supplies.
Before this, the Shen family had also spent a lot of money to buy some pots and pans for the couple, since the newlyweds needed them for their new house.
However, industrial tickets are hard to come by, especially for villagers. It's even harder for them to get any tickets. The only ones they managed to get were bought from the black market at a high price by the elderly couple, Mr. and Mrs. Shen.
So now, their new house only has a pot, a few bowls and plates, a washbasin and a thermos, which looks rather shabby.
Besides the industrial tickets, the two also unexpectedly found a sewing machine ticket among a pile of tickets. You have to know that China's industry was not developed at that time, and items like sewing machines and bicycles were extremely difficult to buy.
The Wang family must have put in a lot of effort to get this done.
The receipts sent by the Wang family solved a major problem. Not only did they provide all the pots, pans, and utensils the family needed, but they even provided the brand-new clothes the young couple would wear on their wedding day.
Wang's parents had also carefully prepared a complete set of brand-new cotton-padded clothes, both inside and out, all in the latest styles from Beijing and made of the finest materials.
There were also two brand-new eight-pound cotton quilts, and even the mattresses were brand new inside and out.
Although the Shen family had prepared brand-new bedding for the newlyweds, Wang's parents still insisted that their daughter's marriage to someone so far away meant she would likely spend the rest of her life in this distant place.
That's why they want their daughters to have everything that other girls have.
Looking at the heavy package in her hands, filled with various items carefully prepared by her parents.
Each item seemed to carry their deep reluctance to part with their daughter and their blessings.
Imagining her parents' feelings as they prepared these things, Wang Chunni felt an indescribable surge of emotion and guilt.
At this moment, for the first time, Wang Chunni felt a pang of regret for her decision to marry Shen Dayang.
It's not that Shen Dayang is a bad person, but the thought that once she gets married, she probably won't be able to go back to her parents' side for the rest of her life.
Although she has now moved to the countryside, she will eventually return to the city.
However, once she marries and becomes someone else's wife, it means that she belongs to another family.
From now on, except for occasional holidays when she can go home to visit her parents, she will spend most of her time in this unfamiliar place.
Upon thinking of this, Wang Chunni's initial joy from shopping vanished instantly.
She stood quietly in front of the post office, tears streaming down her face like a burst dam.
The scene before him startled Shen Dayang. Ever since he went to the countryside, no matter how hard or tiring life was, this strong and optimistic girl always had a smile on her face and had never shed a tear.
Yet at this moment, she was crying so sadly. Looking at the girl silently shedding tears, Shen Dayang felt as if his heart was being gripped by an invisible hand.
Shen Dayang, who was standing nearby, guessed that Wang Chunni had probably seen the things sent by her future in-laws and was feeling homesick. So he quickly stepped forward, put his arm around Wang Chunni's shoulder, and gently comforted her, "Chunni, don't be sad. Your uncle and aunt will arrive in half a day."
I've tidied up the house. This time, we're letting the two elders stay for a while longer. If you miss home in the future, we can go back to see them.
"Don't cry, it's so windy, your face will get chapped from crying. Okay, okay, don't cry anymore?"
As he spoke, Shen Dayang hesitated, wanting to reach out and wipe away Wang Chunni's tears, but then hesitated, thinking it was inappropriate since they weren't married yet.
Wang Chunni was amused by Shen Dayang's awkward and clumsy appearance, and instantly felt that everything was worth it for this person.
Seeing his future daughter-in-law crying and laughing at the same time, Shen Dayang became even more frightened and started to stammer, "Chun, Chunni, don't scare me like that. Why don't I go with you to the hospital to get checked out?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Chunni rolled her eyes at Shen Dayang and scolded him lightly, "You idiot, I'm not sick, why would I go to the hospital? Okay, I saw a sewing ticket in that pile of tickets, and my parents have sent the money too."
I think it's still early, how about we go to the supply and marketing cooperative? If they have any, let's buy them while we have a car today.
There are other things we're missing at home, and we have plenty of industrial ration coupons here. If possible, how about we buy everything we need for the house today?
As long as my wife doesn't cry, I'll do anything for her, let alone buy her things.
So Shen Dayang quickly helped Wang Chunni onto the oxcart parked next to the post office, and then, with a smile, he started moving the things he had only half-moved onto the oxcart.
