Chapter 15 The Wedding
Except for Taigong's generation, everyone else lived a superior life. Suddenly, they fell into a poor environment and could not accept it. Especially my father, who was unable to eat or drink during that period and did not even say a few words.
I know he feels uncomfortable and hates his father, but what's the use of being angry? He is a sensible person. He knows that his father is also uncomfortable, so it's useless to say more, which is tantamount to the point of his father's heart.
The work in the factory changed from leisure to a necessity of life. Grandpa returned to the dock, but this time he was helping others transport goods. Grandma also found a job in the raincoat factory, and her mother was left at home to do housework. Although she was still a daughter-in-law who had never left the house, her mother's virtuousness and kindness were recognized by the whole family. Getting married was just a matter of time.
With the care of the grandmother, my mother's life is not that heavy. She smiles at her mother all day and makes her feel that she is not very used to it.
In fact, what can you do if you are rich and what can you do if you are poor? It is often more important than anything else to be able to live happily by a family.
Although the grandfather was so sorry that his son had created his foundation in his own hands. He knew how painful it was for men.
Taigong changed the old yard into a small workshop for him to weave brooms. After it is done, it can be sold on the street to subsidize our family.
In fact, it is often possible to change from wealth to poverty that people can experience more life. One is a grandfather who is addicted to gambling, the other is a generous father, and the other is a irritable grandfather. This incident has caused these people to change their views on their future lives, especially their grandfather, who have become taciturn since then.
The originally bustling Xu family courtyard suddenly became much deserted. After bankruptcy, many neighbors who often came to visit each other rarely came. Only a few bored women would come to eat melon seeds for a while.
After get off work, the whole family no longer ate separately as before. The family eats on the same table, and poverty makes them more like a family.
"Zhang Hua, call and talk to your hometown and ask your parents' opinions. If there is nothing wrong with that, you two can get the wedding early. Although the family has become like this now, you can still make up the money for a wedding banquet."
Grandpa thought that if his mother regretted it, it would be difficult for him to find a good wife in his current family background. He had to quickly cook the raw rice into porridge. After this matter was confirmed, the family would slowly go out to work to make money.
"I called before, and my parents had no objection, but they couldn't come anymore, so I asked my sister to replace her family."
"That's good, that's good. Come and have a meal."
Grandpa put a leaf of vegetable on his mother's bowl. Since he decided to get married, this wedding banquet must be held. It's impossible for the little girl to look poor at the most important moment in her life.
Although the money is gone, the Xu family cannot be lost.
The clear soup and water seem to have become delicacies between the happy relationships of relatives, and it tastes more delicious than the big fish and meat before.
Because the family has fallen, my father's wedding has become less important in the eyes of relatives. The wedding day and process were discussed by the grandfather and grandfather. My father did not want to participate in his wedding arrangements because he saw in the book that marriage is the grave of love. He didn't know what the future would be like after marriage. Will he rely on his own hands to make a family business and let his beloved woman live a good life like his father.
Grandpa was anxious to hold the wedding, so the day was approaching. After searching the old calendar several times, I found that the day after tomorrow would be a good day.
At that time, invitations were not popular. When we got married, we would send the auditorium to others' homes to tell them when we would come to the wedding, so we need to consider the dishes and total expenses at the wedding.
Grandma took away all her jewelry and went to the gold shop to change her gold earrings as a wedding gift for the couple. Grandpa rummaged through boxes and cabinets to find her savings, asked the neighbors to borrow some more. The wedding was ready now, and the wedding was about to begin.
On this day, everyone was very busy. My father was going to a relative's house to inform me that my grandfather would prepare vegetables and wine, and the grandfather was the temporary accountant to settle the accounts. This simple wedding, which almost spent almost all the family savings, finally arrived as scheduled.
At that time, marriage was not popular in the church, nor was it popular in the priest. The process was very simple. As long as parents led their children to introduce themselves like their relatives, and then toasted with a round of wine, the wedding would be over.
There were very few dishes on the table, all made by the grandmother and grandma themselves. There were not many guests in the same way. There were only a few people in the huge Xu family’s relatives network. Why do you blame others? You can only blame the cold and cold people.
My mother was wearing a red wedding dress and a black suit. I saw photos of them getting married from the drawer in the wardrobe. My father was really chic at that time, and my mother was also innocent and charming.
I haven't heard much about the details of the wedding. I only know that even if the wedding is over, all the guests are either immediate relatives, father's iron brothers, and an aunt. These people have given great help to our family. I know that my father is also very grateful to them. When he is already poor, there are still people who are willing to call him brothers. Isn't this a real brother?
In fact, all the wedding focuses are the previous process. What is really interesting is that the couples at that time were the real wedding night on the wedding day. Unlike in this world, it is common to get pregnant before marriage.
My father was a little drunk. My family knew what the newlyweds needed to do today, so they all went out for a walk. Even my grandmother surprisingly wanted to go out for a walk.
The two unfamiliar people have no idea about such things and don’t know how to do it.
The naked body, with a naked soul. Two violently beating hearts, constantly trying and exploring, failing cannot prevent them from continuing to make peace. After a great breakthrough, they complete the union between the heart and the spirit.
What the newlywed couple really expressed their love was not the passion of the night, but the warmth brought by the first ray of sunshine in the morning. This was the happiest and warmest moment of each other's life. They put aside all their worries, ran away from all their worries, and hugged each other without any obstacles.
With the beloved woman lying in her arms, my father had a new idea in his heart at this moment.
During the time they eloped to Lanzhou, they learned to be paint maker with their masters. Now the work in the factory is too low and not enough to support their families. If they have children in the future, the money will be even less than enough. If they follow the local construction site to be a paint maker, the salary will be much higher, and they can also raise a job with children.
In this way, grandma got up early in the morning to make breakfast for her son and daughter-in-law. The father asked her mother to get up and went to have breakfast and then helped to clean up the house.
My father went to a contractor in Qianmeng Village to find work. The contractor is very familiar with my father's childhood friend. My father's childhood friend is also a paint maker. I call him uncle, and he is also my father.
After my uncle's recommendation and praise, the contractor agreed to my father to work as a painter with the team. However, after the matter was done, my father did not choose to go home and tell his family about the good news. Instead, he was called to drink by his uncle, saying that his father was at work on the day of his wedding. Today, the uncle invited him to an apology. My father could only respect him and obey his orders.
Before going to work, my grandmother cleaned the kitchen and the floor, and the only thing left was feeding pigs.
At that time, the pigpen in our house was near the pit, but my mother didn't know that the underground of the pit was the only female coffin among the eight coffins unearthed at that time.
She took some pig food and sat next to the pigpen and started feeding the pigs. The feeling of being alone at home was nothing more than boredom and loneliness. She didn't know that her husband had gone to drink, and she thought her father was begging others to leave him to work.
Suddenly, the mother could not see anything before her eyes, only darkness and darkness. She could not hear the noisy pig cries, only a little hissing sound, and she missed the sound of a mouse, but it was much more harsh than the sound of a mouse.
It seems that she only saw the pit in the whole world, she could not see anything else, and could not get out of the endless darkness. She was obviously in the pit, but why was it getting dark? Isn’t it just after morning? This is really a hell.
Everyone slowly floated out of the pit!
The blood-red wedding dress was exactly the same as the one I had yesterday! But the hair covered her face, and my mother couldn't see her face. A harsh and terrifying laugh made her feel cold on her back.
At this moment, when he just raised the wine glass, he felt a pain in his chest. It was said that the couple had telepathy. Although his father did not believe in these mysterious things, some things were seen with his own eyes, which made him realize that his woman might be in danger.
"Hey, ahhh, I'll go back first. Let's drink this wine next time. I'm sorry!"
After saying that, my father left. Uncle wanted to keep him, but my father was already riding his bicycle home.
As soon as I got home, I heard my mother's crying.
"Zhang Hua, Zhang Hua!"
She saw her wife sitting alone in the pit and crying.
Sudden!
The mother stretched out her hands and flashed to her father and grabbed his neck, and at this moment, her hands and feet were completely unable to move.
When the father saw that his mother's eyes were not himself, but a woman in red clothes, he knew that at this moment, it was not his wife in front of him, but something that was already there underground!
Although my mother is no longer a mother, she is a woman after all. The father knocked her out of her mother and looked at the bottom of the pit.
It was a dress that was exactly the same as the wedding dress my wife wore on the wedding day!
Chapter completed!
