Most people in this era are pure and simple, without any sinister bad intentions. As the first couple on the team this year, they are a combination of urban educated youth and locals. This wedding was particularly valued and grand, giving both parties enough satisfaction. face.
The banquet was placed in a large open space at the entrance of the village. Seven aunts, eight aunts and neighbors would rush to help. Huacui didn't want to work in the fields, so she went there shamelessly in the name of it.
The bride is Li Jiaoxia from the second team, who is said to be from a southern coastal city, and the groom is Wang Hua from the same team. I remember him as a honest and honest young man with dark skin.
Because Guan Yingying was thin-skinned and afraid of embarrassment, she felt that she was not familiar with the bride and groom, so she preferred to work in the fields under the bright sun and not follow Huacui at all.
Huacui had no choice but to go alone.
As soon as she arrived at the scene, several children grabbed candies and stuffed them into her hands. Their faces were painted with festive red pink, like monkey butts.
Hua Cui guessed that it was the groom's child. She said sweetly: "Congratulations, I wish the couple a happy marriage~"
The children smiled shyly, their cheeks red.
Huacui put the candy into her pocket, looked around, and then enthusiastically stepped forward to hold a woman's hand: "Oh, aunt, look, I'm sorry that something happened on the way, I'm late."
Woman: "?"
"Is there anything else you want me to help with?" Hua Cui looked around with a sincere expression, "If there is anything you need me to do on this special day, just ask me, aunt!"
The groom's mother, Liu Fang, was silent for a moment. She was so frightened by the sudden enthusiasm that she didn't even remember who this beautiful girl was in front of her.
But she is so beautiful, and she is cheerful and generous. Her temperament does not look like that of a local country person. Maybe she is one of the educated youth friends of her daughter-in-law Li Jiaoxia.
The visitor was a guest. She immediately smiled and said: "As I said, there is no need for you to help. You just sit and eat and drink! Otherwise, it's my aunt's fault. Erhu, give this sister a cup of tea." ! ”
She turned around and shouted at the children at home.
These words were exactly what Huacui meant, and her smile became brighter and brighter, which made people feel good just looking at her.
"Auntie, please don't be polite to me! How dare I eat free rice? In this case, I will help auntie entertain the guests!"
Liu Fang smiled from ear to ear, pretending to be helpless and said: "You kid."
But there was no rejection.
Huacui is good-looking, cheerful and sweet, and when she stands at the door, she is like a golden sign, giving her family more face.
As for Hua Cui, no matter how thick-skinned she was, she couldn't really just sit and watch others go about their business. Worried about being assigned to a hard job, she took the lead in finding an easy job for herself.
Just like that, both parties reached an agreement and were both satisfied.
"Auntie, you are busy, leave this to me."
"Okay, don't tire yourself out. If you have anything to do, ask the younger ones to do it."
Hua Cui smiled sweetly again.
There were not too many guests in the morning. After all, there was still work to be done in the fields. It was not time for dinner, so most of the guests were relatives and friends of the newlyweds. Huacui only had to welcome people at the door and occasionally bring tea and pour water. .
She spent the rest of the time hiding in a corner, amusing herself and eating melon seeds.
"Here comes the bride!"
With a shout, firecrackers crackled on the roadside.
Huacui paused while snacking on melon seeds. This was the first time she saw a wedding of this era. Mixed in a group of excited children, she looked out the door with the same curiosity.
The groom was riding a bicycle carrying the bride and was surrounded by the crowd. Both of them had red flowers on their chests and couldn't hide the smiles on their faces.
"We are married as husband and wife, and there is no doubt about their love. Under the witness of the chairman, congratulations to Comrade Li Jiaoxia and Comrade Wang Hua on their wedding!"
"In the years to come, we must live in harmony and grow old together~" The atmosphere group Huacui went online decisively.
In this age, most people are reserved and reserved, and few are as straightforward as Hua Cui. The bride and groom made a big fuss and were laughed at by everyone.
After receiving the bride's greetings, going through all the wedding procedures, it was time for the dinner that Huacui was most looking forward to. People working in the fields also put down their farm tools and came in groups.
However, this lunch is just an appetizer, and the evening meal is the main meal.
Hua Cui saw Guan Yingying in the crowd and quickly said hello.
"You, you, you really came here alone." Guan Yingying was helpless and funny.
Hua Cui pulled her to sit in the seat she had reserved a long time ago, and she relaxed all morning. Her mood was obviously good to the naked eye.
Catching a glimpse of a familiar figure from the corner of her eye, Hua Cui immediately stood up and followed him.
"Who?"
"It's me, Brother Xiao Ming."
Hua Cui walked out from behind the tree calmly, without any embarrassment of being caught following her. She raised her head curiously: "What are you doing here?"
Seeing that it was Huacui, Zhao Qiming breathed a sigh of relief, but then his body tensed up and his expression was unnatural: "It's nothing, it's too stuffy inside. Come out and walk around."
In fact, it was just because I didn't want to be entangled with his mother and matchmaker, so I just found an excuse to come out and breathe.
People in the countryside generally get married early. He is twenty-one this year and has been urged by his mother countless times to start a family. There are also matchmakers who are eager to come to discuss marriage.
However, they were all rejected by him sternly. Zhao Qiming's face turned red. His eldest brother and second sister both followed the family's arrangements and each found their husband, and lived a good or bad life.
He yearns for a plain life, but he doesn't want to spend the next few decades with someone he doesn't like. Because he has never met someone he likes, the marriage has been postponed.
Now, Wang Hua, a classmate at that time, is getting married. His eldest brother is about to have his second child, and his mother is ready to arrange a marriage for him.
Zhao Qiming couldn't persuade her, so he could only remain silent.
"Oh." Hua Cui asked casually. She was always thinking about other things. She blinked and said tentatively, "Brother Xiao Ming, do you know what 'one day without seeing you is like three autumns apart'?"
Zhao Qiming didn't know the meaning of "three autumns apart", but he understood the meaning of "not seeing each other for one day". He wished he could cover his ears and pretend to be deaf.
He would rather go back and face the matchmaker's nagging than Hua Cui, whose bold and straightforward attitude left him helpless and at a loss!
"I can't see you busy in the paddy fields every day, and I feel like my life has lost support and belief~"
"Comrade Hua, Huacui." She actually wanted him to help her with her work, right?
"But there is nothing we can do about it. The interests of the collective are always higher than the interests of the individual. When the ditch is dug, it will benefit more people. Brother Xiao Ming is doing a very important thing!"
Zhao Qiming was so blown away by her rainbow fart that he seemed to be going to save the world instead of digging ditches. It took him a while to wake up, and he thought that he had not gone to the paddy fields yesterday, so she had misunderstood, right?
Digging ditches is very important, but there are so many young adults in Qingshan Village that he is not indispensable. It's just that the eldest brother accompanied his sister-in-law to the county for a physical examination yesterday, and he didn't go to the paddy field to support his eldest brother for a day, that's all.
Zhao Qiming explained patiently and said that he would stay in the paddy field and finish what he had to do before leaving.
"So that's it! I know that no matter what Xiao Ming does, he will never give up halfway!"
Zhao Qiming: "." Comrade Hua Cui can always praise others from a unique perspective.
However, his expression and tone were extremely sincere.
Although Huacui was happy to hear the truth and could catch fish for a few more days, she was not as excited as she imagined. After all, she now had bigger and longer-term goals and plans, and the small favors from Dashui Tian could not move her.
Zhao Fuguo is the captain of the brigade and Zhao Qiming's biological father. If she can marry into the Zhao family, for the sake of everyone being a family, and if she says something nice, she might be able to ask Zhao Fuguo to help her change to a lighter job. No need. I work in the fields under the bright sun every day.
No matter what, Zhao Qiming still has to do the dirty work!
Of course, Zhao Qiming is only one of her targets now, and further observation is needed, and she cannot make a decision casually.
Huacui understands the principle of shopping around.
Comrade Zhou Haiwen in the educated youth dormitory is also good. He has a talented person and extraordinary conversational skills. It's a pity that behind him is Zhou Keran. As a young cannon fodder, Hua Cui doesn't have the courage to scumbag the boss's younger brother. "The banquet is about to start. If you go late, you won't be able to grab delicious food. Brother Xiao Ming, let's go back quickly!" Hua Cui only thought for a while before being attracted by the fragrance not far away.
"You go back first, I'll go there later."
"Okay then, bye!"
".Goodbye."
Zhao Qiming continued to stroll outside. He estimated that Hua Cui should have sat down and started using chopsticks by now, and then he slowly walked back.
The man was unmarried and the woman was unmarried. He deliberately created a distance to prevent anyone from guessing whether they were having a secret meeting.
Although it was indeed not much different from a "private meeting" just now.
Zhao Qiming's face burned again.
Next time, next time, he must remind Comrade Huacui not to say that kind of thing again!
It didn't matter to him if others heard it, did she still want her reputation?
If Huacui knew what Zhao Qiming was thinking at this time, she would probably just laugh. Does she care about her reputation?
Don't care at all.
To be precise, Hua Cui never cares about other people's opinions and evaluations of her, nor will she please anyone or change herself for the sake of other people's eyes.
In her previous life, there were countless people who liked her, and those who didn't like her would also line up from the classroom to the entrance of the cafeteria.
But it doesn't matter, no one dares to say anything wrong to her in front of her. No matter how much they do, they can only scold her secretly behind her back, which will not have any impact on her.
The wedding between Li Jiaoxia and Wang Hua was lively all day long, and Hua Cui didn't stop talking almost the whole day. She was either eating melon seeds and peeling candies, or she was summoned by the ladies who were helping in the kitchen and secretly gave her one or two. A snack.
So much so that at dinner time, Huacui couldn't hold much in her stomach.
"You deserve it, you should regret it." Guan Yingying gloated.
A large table of dishes was placed in front of her, but she had no appetite. Hua Cui couldn't help but feel a little painful after losing a hundred million yuan. However, this was the last meal. The host specially placed bags on each table so that guests could take away the food if they couldn't finish it. Walk.
Huacui's table was full of unmarried girls or young girls who had just been married. Compared with the fierce battles at other tables, they were much gentler.
Guan Yingying is strong on the outside and strong on the other, but she is too embarrassed to pack too much and go home. She looks at Hua Cui next to her and smiles kindly and cutely. She chats enthusiastically with a table of friends of similar age, and even made an appointment to go to the mountains to pick mushrooms together in their free time.
At the same time, her hands kept moving, and she took everything that should be packed away, and she also packed her share.
Guan Yingying: "...hiss."
So elegant, yet so brutal.
How on earth did she do it? !
After the newlyweds toasted and had a wedding ceremony, the joyful wedding came to an end. Huacui did not leave immediately after finishing the meal, but conscientiously stayed at the end to help clean up the mess.
Liu Fang laughed all day today, her face stiffened when she smiled, and her wrinkles deepened a bit. But when she saw Hua Cui, she still smiled and praised her for her thoughtfulness in entertaining guests today.
"Auntie, you're so polite." Huacui, who had quietly touched a lot of fish, suddenly felt guilty.
Her two coat pockets were stuffed to the brim, and it was Liu Fang who forced her to stuff her with unfinished wedding candies at the end. Huacui refused and returned to the educated youth dormitory with a full load.
Regarding this, Guan Yingying was so impressed that she fell to the ground, Sun Wenjuan's eyes widened and she was amazed, and Cheng Wan snorted arrogantly.
night.
Huacui lay in bed unable to sleep, and she thought of a new problem.
According to her careful observation at the wedding today, she found that in rural areas, there is no custom for children to move out separately after marriage. Instead, the whole family still lives together.
Unless there are some special circumstances, such as children breaking away from their parents and breaking up, but this is only the case in a very small number of families, people at this time regard filial piety as extremely important and do not dare to disobey their parents easily.
Therefore, the head of the family who has the power of life and death in the family is most likely to be the mother-in-law, such as Liu Fang, or Zhao Qiming, the mother-in-law who bakes pancakes extremely fragrantly.
Hua Cui is generally satisfied with Zhao Qiming, but she doesn't understand his mother at all. If she is a difficult person, her future life will be very painful.
Not to mention being pinched to death, nor to holding Zhao Qimingniang under control, Hua Cui only hoped that the two of them could live in peace.
Huacui decided to spend a huge amount of money and visit her with gifts.
Naturally, the reason for the visit could not be to take the opportunity to observe whether the Zhao family was suitable for her to eat soft food. Hua Cui decided to visit in the name of gratitude and thank Captain Zhao Fuguo for his special care.
I also hope that he can continue his efforts.
"You, you, you mean you want to come to my house at night?" Hua Cui told Zhao Qiming her plan, but he looked like he had seen a ghost and even stuttered when he spoke.
"Yes, I specially prepared a gift. Of course, it's not something valuable."
In this era, gifts are nothing more than eggs, meat, oil and the like, but because of Li Jiaoxia's wedding, Hua Cui had just given out the gifts, so she really didn't have anything extra on hand to make gifts.
She had borrowed the bag of pastries from Guan Yingying first and would have to return it next time.
"No, this is not according to the rules." Zhao Qiming had a headache and didn't know what to say, so he refused quickly.
"The objection is invalid. I'm here to inform you, not to discuss with you." Hua Cui was ruthless.
Her target this time is not him, but his mother.
