Chapter 291 Li Aiguo went to welcome his bride, and Zhou Ke came. Wang Zha
Tear
Under the dim light.
A page on the desk calendar was torn off, revealing a brand new page.
"Sunday, October 21st, 1956"
A few large characters printed in bright ink were reflected in Li Aiguo's eyes, and he suddenly woke up.
Let’s get married today!
Li Aiguo rubbed his groggy eyes, cheered up, pulled on his slippers and went to the cabinet, and found a tunic suit from inside.
The tunic suit was tailor-made for him by Chen Xueru.
The first-class woolen fabric and light gray color not only promote a youthful style, but also maintain a stable atmosphere.
After getting dressed and standing in front of the mirror, Li Aiguo grinned: "Hey, this guy is quite handsome!"
At this time, there was a rapid knock on the door.
"Aiguo, you are getting married today, don't take a nap."
"Coming."
Li Aiguo responded, walked over and opened the door.
Aunt Liu and He Yuyu stood there early, with He Yuyu holding several boxes in his hands.
Aunt Liu brought a bamboo grate with rows of round dumplings on it.
"The new daughter-in-law came in and wanted to eat dumplings. I was afraid that you, the kid, would forget, so she wrapped them and brought them to you."
"."
Li Aiguo also returned I really forgot about it and reached out to pick up the grate.
"These are all raw, let me cook them for you. You have to pick up Xiao Chen later, so you can't take care of this."
Aunt Liu was nagging in her mouth, but Li Aiguo was thinking in his heart A warm one.
For his marriage, Aunt Liu was very busy and she lost weight.
Aunt Liu went into the house to cook dumplings, while He Yuyu pulled Li Aiguo to the mirror and asked him to sit down.
"Brother, you are the groom's official today, so you have to take good care of yourself."
As she spoke, before Li Aiguo could react, she opened a box of hair oil and took a sip of it. A lump was smeared on Li Aiguo's head.
Li Aiguo saw that there was still cream in the box, and said hurriedly: "If it rains, just skip the cream. I hate the smell."
"Okay, okay, anyway, your old face is Even with the use of ice cream, it can't be saved."
"Damn it, this little girl, did you say that about your brother?"
In the midst of the argument.
Makeup artist He Yuyu has completed his task.
Li Aiguo looked in the mirror.
Don’t tell me, the young man is very energetic.
"How is it?" He Yuyu was a little proud.
Li Aiguo gave a thumbs up: "When you get married, my brother will definitely give you a big gift."
The little girl is so shy after all, she blushes like a red apple when she mentions these things Similar.
Aunt Liu also cooked the dumplings, put them on a plate and brought them out.
"The plate is for Xiao Chen, and there is still some in the pot. When Dakui and your colleagues from the locomotive depot are here, can you put some food on it first?"
As soon as he finished speaking .
There was a commotion outside the door.
Dakui took Zhang Erpao, Zhou Ke took two colleagues from the locomotive depot police station, and Cao Wenzhi came in from outside with Liu Qingquan and Lao Zheng.
Aunt Liu didn’t expect so many people to come. She slapped her thigh suddenly and said, “I still have some dumplings at home. Just wait and cook them now.”
“ Auntie, no need, I brought you fried dough sticks." Zhou Ke put the paper bag on the table, which contained Huang Tengteng's fried dough sticks.
He looked at Li Aiguo and smiled and said, "I knew this guy was careless, so he asked the master in the canteen of the locomotive depot to work overtime in the morning to fry a pot of fried dough sticks."
"You kid is so arrogant. Well, when you got married, if it hadn't been for me, you would have been in trouble by those guys." Li Aiguo didn't need to be polite to Zhou Ke. He said a few words and started to eat a few fried dough sticks without using chopsticks.
Although the fried dough sticks of this era are not as fluffy as those of later generations, the taste is very pure, with a light oil aroma and a wheat aroma that mix just right.
After eating a few fried dough sticks and dumplings, my stomach felt solid.
It was now half past six in the morning.
Chen Fangxuan is a particular person and likes to follow the old principles. The girl needs to be sent out before eight o'clock.
Li Aiguo washed his hands and stretched out his hand towards Zhou Ke: "Have you brought the car keys?"
When he got off work yesterday, Li Aiguo met Minister Niu.
Minister Niu heard that he was getting married, and specially lent him the jeep of the Ministry of Armed Forces as a wedding car.
There is no such thing as private use of buses in these days, so Li Aiguo accepted it calmly.
“Of course!” Zhou Ke took out a key from his pocket, handed it over but then retracted it, holding it tightly in his hand, with a playful smile: “Brother Patriot, I have been driving three wheels these days. , I also want to try the four-wheeled one."
"Okay, please slow down."
The groom seemed unable to drive, so Li Aiguo agreed immediately.
“Let’s go pick up the new wife.”
Zhou Ke wanted to drive a Gas Jeep later, and he almost jumped with excitement.
In addition to Zhou Ke, there were also Wang Dakui, Liu Qingquan and two comrades from the locomotive section police station to pick up the bride.
One of them was the lover of nurse Xiaoyun. After learning that Li Aiguo was getting married, he took the initiative to ask Miao to help.
Li Aiguo opened the door and led a group of young people out. The early residents in the compound greeted him one after another.
"Aiguo, go pick up your new wife now."
Li Aiguo responded one by one. When he walked out of the gate and saw the jeep, he was instantly stunned.
The normally dusty Jeep was cleaned cleanly.
Big red flowers were hung on the front and rear of the car, and a TV was placed on the roof.
That’s right, it’s the false color TV he put in his dormitory.
Zhou Ke was elated: "How is it, brother's arrangement is good, isn't it?"
"Is it too overwhelming?"
"What's the point? Marriage is about showing off. When you have strength." Zhou Ke educated him as a veteran.
have to.
It’s time to show off.
Amidst the crackling sound of firecrackers.
The escort team slowly left the courtyard.
The wedding car was led by a jeep, followed by four bicycles. It looked particularly majestic and domineering as it walked on the roads of the capital city.
It was said to be a jeep, because there was a bicycle following behind it, so it couldn't pick up the speed.
It was almost seven o'clock when we arrived outside Chen's alley.
It was bright and there were many residents outside the alley. Everyone came to see the Chen family marry their daughter.
Hearing the roar of the jeep, the residents were a little confused.
Wait until you see a jeep with big red flowers hanging on it slowly approaching.
The residents all gasped.
Bicycles are luxury cars these days. It is a matter of honor for Beier to have a few bicycles to pick up the bride when she gets married.
The uncle of the Chen family actually got a jeep.
Amazing!
The aunt of the Zhang family was licking melon seeds and marveling: "Last year the Liu family married a girl, and the man was a teacher in the university, and he just came here on a bicycle. Is the Chen family's aunt more awesome than a university teacher?"
"You, you are really right this time. I am a train driver in the locomotive depot. How many train drivers can we have in the country?" The Liu family's daughter-in-law's eyes were shining brightly.
When the jeep parked at the entrance of the alley, the TV on the roof caught everyone's eyes under the sunlight.
Everyone was silent.
If you say a jeep can still be borrowed from the work unit based on face.
TV is not a matter of face.
You have to make a big contribution to get it!
The biggest feature of the alleys in Beijing is that they are narrow. Two people walking side by side will rub their shoulders, and a jeep will definitely not be able to pass through.
Zhou Ke braked and the jeep stopped steadily at the entrance of the alley.
Li Aiguo got out of the car and scratched his head helplessly when he saw the old ladies and young wives all standing there silently.
Are you pretending to be awesome?
This is all because of that guy Zhou Ke.
Fortunately, the eldest brother of the Chen family reacted quickly, struck a match and lit the firecrackers.
The crackling sound of firecrackers reignited the hustle and bustle of the scene.
The neighbors and relatives congratulated him one after another, and a bunch of little kids were wandering around Li Aiguo, saying auspicious words, just to get a few more pieces of candy.
The big dog owner is not stingy this time either.
He grabbed a handful of candy bars and sprinkled them out, and there was a burst of cheers.
The doors and windows of Chen's house are decorated with red words of joy. The door is open, and a group of relatives and friends are gathered in the yard.
Some of them are known to Li Aiguo, but most of them are unknown to them.
They all said hello one by one.
In these days, there is no rule about blocking the door and asking for red envelopes. Generally, you can enter the house, pick up your wife and leave.
Chen Xueru had already dressed up and was wearing a bright red Bragi, which not only showed the atmosphere of the times, but also made her whole person look happy.
Chen Fangxuan stood nearby, with the dowry for his daughter at his feet.
Two silk quilts, three sets of quilts, a thermos, a spittoon, an alarm clock, and a locked box. I don’t know what’s inside.
These dowries can be considered lavish, which shows that Chen Fangxuan really cares about this girl.
Seeing his longing for his new wife, Li Aiguo strode into the house and shouted: "Dad, I'm here to pick up my wife!"
Although Chen Fangxuan trusted this young son-in-law, he still followed the old principles, took Li Aiguo's hand, and warned: "Aiguo, Xueru will be your daughter-in-law from now on. If she can't do anything, you should be more patient." ."
As he spoke, the corners of the weather-beaten old tailor's eyes turned red, and his voice had a hint of crying.
The married girl, the water thrown out, Chen Xueru will no longer be a member of the Chen family from now on!
Seeing her father's excitement, Chen Xueru was also infected. The corners of her eyes turned red, and she pulled Chen Fangxuan's arm: "Dad, don't worry, I will come back to see you often in the future."
"Silly boy, once you get married, you become a member of the Li family. How can you always run to the Chen family." Chen Fangxuan quickly corrected her.
Chen Xueru, who had lost her mother since childhood and had a close relationship with Chen Fangxuan, curled her lips and almost cried when she heard this.
Li Aiguo, a rough guy, had never experienced such a thing. He was a little at a loss for a while. Finally, his sister-in-law Zhao Qingfang came over and persuaded him for a while.
"Dad, if you delay any longer, you will lose time."
When Chen Fangxuan heard this, he made up his mind to hand the tearful girl Chen Xueru into the hands of Li Aiguo.
Zhou Ke and others who had been waiting nearby also breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the dowry on the ground, and ran out in a huff.
I'm afraid that if it's too late, the old man of the Chen family won't be able to let go of his daughter.
The convoy that picked up the bride left the alley in the eyes of everyone in the Chen family who were reluctant to leave.
The sister-in-law saw tears flowing out of the corners of Chen Fangxuan's eyes again, and comforted her: "Dad, you have seen it, our uncle is a capable man, and the girl will definitely enjoy happiness when she gets married, so don't be sad."
Chen Fangxuan nodded heavily.
