☆, Chapter 238 Xu Qiang is getting married

Zhang Chaoyang stayed at home for a week, inspected the house, and cleaned up the cellar and warehouse.

After tidying up the vegetable patch in the backyard, Xu Di and his three children returned to Niufang Brigade and spent a day there chatting with Grandpa and Grandma Xu about family matters.

In the limited time, try to arrange the household affairs as much as possible so that your wife can worry less.

The busy time passed quickly. It felt like I hadn’t gotten close enough to my wife or played enough with my children, and yet the day to leave had come.

However, before leaving, Zhang Chaoyang met with Qi Chao to thank him for helping take care of the family. Also, Nuannuan, if she wanted to practice martial arts, she could ask Qi Chao to teach her.

Before Qi Chao retired from the army, he won the championship in the military competition for two consecutive years.

During these few days at home, Zhang Chaoyang felt that he had completely recovered. Even when he saw stimulating scenes, he had no reaction.

After seeing Zhang Chaoyang off, Xu Di and her friends’ lives returned to their previous pace.

The three children all went to school, and Xu Di was busy with his schoolwork and self-taught English.

At the end of April, Xu Qiang came over.

"Sister, my wedding date has been set."

"When, is the wedding room ready?"

There were too many things going on during this period, and all her thoughts were on Zhang Chaoyang, so she really had no time to care about Xu Qiang's affairs.

"It's settled. We rented two rooms near Qiuxia School. It's the family housing of Qiuxia's brother at the Public Security Bureau. The owner's wife's family got rehabilitated and got back several houses. They moved to his mother-in-law's house.

Brother Qiuxia helped us make the contact. Although the two rooms are not big, they are enough for us to live in for the time being.

Moreover, it is safe in the Public Security Bureau’s staff quarters.

I am always out driving and away for several days. I am worried about Qiuxia being alone at home.

Now, the problem is solved. ”

Xu Qiang didn't expect things to go so smoothly. With the help of his brother-in-law, he rented a house, and everything else became much easier.

Starting from the second half of 1977 or 1978, every time he went out of town, he would bring back some things.

Xu Jia helped him sell it, and the profit was split 2:8, with him taking 8 and Xu Jia helping him sell it, taking 2.

After a year, he had saved more than a thousand yuan, enough to cover his wedding expenses.

"That's great. Have you bought everything? What's the market price now?"

When Xu Di got married, Zhang Chaoyang prepared three transfers and one ring. The money given by her grandmother was counted separately and was not included in the market price.

"Everything is ready. The furniture was prepared by Qiuxia's family. She has a bicycle. I bought a new watch. I also bought a radio and a sewing machine.

The staff housing of the Public Security Bureau is a tube-shaped building with shared toilets and kitchens. There is no way to buy many things.

Qiuxia said to buy what you can use and not waste money on what you can’t use. ”

Xu Qiang's face was full of smiles. It seemed that the marriage was going smoothly.

Xu Di is 26 years old this year, and Xu Qiang is three years younger than her, at 23 years old.

In the 1970s, the country had begun to advocate late marriage and late childbearing, and fewer but better births, but it had not yet been enforced.

"Qiuxia looks good. You know it in your heart. Once you get married, you will have to support your own family. You should love your wife more.

When two people live together, there will be some conflicts. Even if you are angry, you should not say anything that hurts their feelings. ”

Xu Di has been married for two lifetimes and knows too well that when people are angry, they will say all the nasty things and it feels very satisfying.

However, harsh words can hurt people like a cold winter in June. Although they are said for the sake of pleasure, the damage caused is not so easy to undo.

"Sister, I know. Qiuxia has been to our house many times. She said that the way my grandparents and my parents get along with each other is very good. She likes it and we should learn from it."

"That's right. My grandparents have been together all their lives, so they have a really good relationship."

Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu have lived together for decades. They rarely quarrel and never stay angry all night.

My grandma always says that anger is harmful to your health. In life, nothing is a big deal. It's not worth getting angry over trivial matters.

"Sister, I brought back a piece of red cloth from the south. Can you help me make a skirt for Qiuxia to wear when she gets married?

I looked around, but didn't see anything good. I think the skirts you made for Nuannuan and the other three are all very beautiful. You can make one for Qiuxia based on the same pattern. ”

Xu Qiang took out a large piece of material similar to light woolen cloth, which was thicker than ordinary cloth and thinner than woolen cloth.

"Okay, let me take a look. Ask Qiuxia to come over so I can measure her size.

This piece of material can be used to make a nice skirt. ”

Xu Di thought about it, thinking about the classic styles of later generations.

The wedding was held on May Day and the weather was neither too cold nor too hot, perfect for wearing, no need for a coat.

After Xu Qiang finished his business, he took out a few books. They were picture books he brought from the south.

After Xu Qiang left, Xu Di began to draw the pattern of the skirt, but she didn't know how to draw something too complicated.

The next day, Xu Qiang accompanied Qiuxia and asked his sister to help measure the size.

"Hello, uncle and aunt!"

Nuannuan and her friends have met Qiuxia and they all like this aunt very much.

"Hello, come here, here are some delicious food I bought for you."

Qiuxia also likes Nuannuan and the others very much. They are polite and generous children.

The most important thing is that Xu Di's family dresses the children neatly and cleanly, which makes them very attractive.

"Thank you, aunt!"

They already know that their uncle is getting married and that their aunt will be their aunt from now on.

"Okay, take your uncle to the backyard and water the vegetable patch."

Xu Di built another shed this year, and the side dishes inside are quite tall.

"Got it, sis. I'll go water the vegetables."

He knew that his sister wanted to measure Qiuxia's size and it would be inconvenient for him to do so.

"Qiuxia, take a look at these pictures. There aren't many I can do. Choose for yourself. Do you like any of them?"

Xu Di took out a notebook with five or six rough designs of skirts on it.

"Sister, thank you for your hard work."

Qiuxia was quite surprised. She didn't expect that Sister Xu Di could draw a style diagram.

"These are all I know. I can't do anything too complicated."

Xu Di was forced to do something he could only do within his ability.

"They are all very beautiful. I am a little dazzled by the choices."

I really like Qiuxia. The styles are very novel and they will definitely look good when they are made.

"Sister Xu Di, I want this."

She finally chose her favorite, a once-in-a-lifetime wedding, and she also wanted to leave beautiful memories.

"Well, okay, for this, the shoes you buy should have heels, it will look better.

Also, ask Xu Qiang if he has foreign exchange coupons so that he can go to the Overseas Chinese Store and buy a bra. ”

Xu Di gestured in front of his chest, and Qiuxia understood what he meant, but felt a little embarrassed.

Xu Di feels that women in this era are really prone to shyness. Not only women, but men also blush easily.

On May Day, Zhang Chaoyang also returned.

This is the first happy event in my second uncle's family. Although Xu Yong is the eldest child, he is still in school and it is not known whether he has a partner.

Early in the morning, Xu Di and her friends dressed up, got on Zhang Chaoyang's car, and went to Niufang Brigade.

Grandma Qian and Aunt Wu also went over to join in the fun.

Xu Qiang borrowed a car from his unit and drove the Jiefang to pick up his bride.

When Xu Di and the others arrived, the yard of Grandpa's house was already very lively.

The bride hasn't arrived yet, but people are already here to help, and the yard is filled with the aroma of food.

Xu Di looked at the scene which was both familiar and unfamiliar. It had been many years since he had seen a banquet in the village.
