Chapter 84 The Rough Man and the Handsome Man
Zhao Sheng nodded in agreement and watched her childish figure turn and leave until she was out of sight, then he turned back and continued on his way.
Most of the bicycles in the house were ridden by the twins, so Zhao Sheng had to walk to the town, otherwise Lin Yiyi would not be able to catch up with him.
When he arrived in the town, Zhao Sheng first went to the post office to send the package and letters to Xu Jianchang. After solving the eyesore, he took the early bus to the county town.
It was also a coincidence that Tian Meihui went to the city to give a symposium and met an acquaintance she had met once while sitting in the car. At noon on New Year's Eve, she went to her eldest cousin's house to meet her blind date, but the relationship did not work out. She had a meal and went home. Unexpectedly, she would meet her eldest cousin's relatives again.
Although she met him twice, she didn't even know his name and had never spoken to him, so she didn't have the courage to say hello.
When Lin Yiyi returned home, she saw a large scene of family separation in the yard. Her mother-in-law Wang Caihong hugged Zhao Lili, asked about her well-being, and gave her many instructions, fearing that she had been wronged outside.
Happiness and joy are really created by contrast. When Zhao Sheng left, no one saw him off.
Zhao's mother kept talking a lot, and the last sentence almost made Lin Yiyi drop her jaw. What are the pockets sewn on the panties?
Which pocket should I put my accommodation and dormitory tickets in to be safe?
Thinking about it, I was horrified. Are the panties what she understood as private pants? And then there was a pocket on top to hold money?
Unable to suppress her curiosity, Lin Yiyi got the answer from her sister-in-law.
Ma Dongmei was serious. She thought Lin Yiyi was so bald that she didn't expect her to be so untidy. "If you don't put it in your panty bag, then you can only put it in your socks. How dirty."
Lin Yiyi was dumbfounded: "..."
I have learned something new. When I think of the red envelope my mother-in-law gave her, I feel sick when I think of that scene.
Where did this money come from?
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was mid-to-late March. The Zhao family had long since returned to their previous life of farming and earning work points.
When Zhao Sheng was not at home, Lin Yiyi and her mother-in-law had a lot of banter, but most of the time they ignored each other.
Wang Caihong doesn't dare to offend her ruthless daughter-in-law now. Zhao Sheng has a tough attitude and is afraid that Lin Yiyi will persuade his son to ignore their family.
I would never dare to curse at someone or even beat them up like I did before.
On this day, the Zhao family received a wedding invitation from the secretary's family early in the morning. The secretary's youngest son Zhao Shuwen and educated youth Wang Rulan were getting married.
It has been almost a month since Lin Yiyi last saw something in the warehouse. Although some people saw it and made a fuss about it at the time, it did not cause any waves afterwards and no one spread the gossip.
The highest-ranking officials in the village are the party secretary and the village chief. Many people curry favor with them and give them gifts, so no one dares to go up to them and offend them with gossip.
However, due to the limitations of the times, most gifts were given in the form of brown sugar and white wine. Now that the son of the village leader is holding a wedding banquet, you can see how lively the scene is.
God had pity on her. Knowing that Lin Yiyi was bored at home, Wang Rulan came to her house, gave her a red sticker, and invited Lin Yiyi to attend the wedding.
"We don't have that kind of frequent contact, so you don't have to invite me, really." Lin Yiyi didn't want to go and said it bluntly.
Wang Rulan smiled and said, "I treat you as a good sister, how could you not come to my wedding? I don't have many friends here, you just barely make up the numbers."
If you don't come, who will she show off to? Lin Yiyi is generous and can't miss the opportunity to receive gifts.
Lin Yiyi frowned. What kind of good sisters?
"If you ask the people from the educated youth camp to make up the numbers, I won't go."
"I invited you to a wedding with good intentions and let you taste some meat, but you refused to go. I'm marrying into the family of the village party secretary, so you'd better think it over carefully." Wang Rulan threatened with a smile, and her dimples that were faintly visible were like a whirlpool of trouble.
Lin Yiyi: “…” You are really awesome, big sister.
Thinking that I will need to transfer my household registration and get various signatures and seals when I leave here in the future, I naturally cannot offend the branch secretary's family.
Is Wang Rulan going to cause trouble again? She has to do something, and they are fed up with each other.
Lin Yiyi wanted to struggle a bit more, "You're not trying to trick me, are you? You're forcing me to go. I didn't even invite you to my wedding, so you really don't need to invite me. Can we just live our own lives?"
"I don't care, you have to come. Don't miss the good time tomorrow at noon. Remember to come to the wedding, don't come empty-handed." Wang Rulan didn't keep anyone in suspense. After stating her purpose, she left.
Even if Lin Yiyi had invited her to her wedding, she would not have gone. Giving gifts doesn't cost money.
Lin Yiyi looked at the thin piece of red paper invitation in her hand and thought, forget it. There are so many people at the wedding, and Wang Rulan, who is so smart, would not be so stupid as to ruin her own day. She just thought of it as a buffet.
I don’t know how many meat dishes there are, and Lin Yiyi feels upset thinking about giving money as a share. I will take Tiedan with me tomorrow to eat and get my money’s worth.
Not knowing how much was appropriate to give, Lin Yiyi took the initiative to chat with her father-in-law for the first time in the evening. When she found out that Zhao Tiezhu wanted a red envelope of five yuan, Lin Yiyi took a deep breath as her monthly pocket money was only four yuan.
It would be embarrassing if it was less, but painful if it was more, because the gift money has to be registered and used as the standard for returning gifts at future weddings and funerals.
On the wedding day, Lin Yiyi took Tiedan, who insisted on hanging up his clothes to show off his woolen vest, and went to the village secretary's house with her parents-in-law. Although they were a family, they were relatives on each side of the bride and groom.
The wedding was very lively. The yard couldn't accommodate so many tables, so several tables were set up on the road outside the yard. It felt like everyone in Zhaojiatun came to attend. However, everyone knew what to do and if they didn't bring their families with them, they would send a family representative.
Otherwise, just pay a share of the money and the whole family can sit at the host's table.
Food rations are in short supply, and we don’t have the financial resources to set up dozens or hundreds of tables.
Lin Yiyi looked down at Tiedan, who was smiling with his white teeth showing at his feet. He brought him here, so he couldn't just send the kid back, right? Then he touched the red envelope in his trouser pocket.
She was the exception.
Originally, the red envelope only contained two dollars, but Lin Yiyi took advantage of no one's attention and put the remaining two bills into it. Spending a month's pocket money in one go, Lin Yiyi felt a little heart-attacked.
There were many people at the scene, and Lin Yiyi knew almost none of them. She was afraid that the little one would be stepped on by the crowds, so she held Tiedan in her arms and found a corner to sit down and wait for dinner to be served.
Zhao Shuwen is the youngest son in the family. He has three older sisters, all of whom are married. His younger brother's marriage is a big event. The eldest sister Zhao Dingxiang and the second sister Zhao Meixiang are helping in the kitchen, busy with the work.
Zhao Shuwen had a happy face, handsome features, gentle manners, and a refined appearance, a man of both moral integrity and talent. He had a big red flower tied on his chest and followed his father, the branch secretary, to greet the guests. During the meeting, there were also police friends from the town and other leaders.
The way he dresses, speaks and behaves shows that he is an official.
The police uniforms of this era were white, completely different from modern police uniforms, and were particularly conspicuous in the crowd.
Imagining Zhao Sheng wearing this kind of uniform, Lin Yiyi felt that she would definitely be crazy.
Male model body plus uniform.
Let me ask you, who can resist the charm of uniform temptation?
