The next day, in the early morning, there were still a few stars hanging in the pale sky. At this time, the quiet mountain village was already bustling with people.
The villagers gathered spontaneously at Lao Zhu's house, and the musicians in the wedding team also brought their instruments to the Zhu family courtyard. These musicians all brought their own dry food and helped for free.
Otherwise, given the conditions of the Zhu family, they really cannot afford to hire such a band.
In the small courtyard of the Zhu family, the villagers gathered together and chatted cordially about home affairs.
"Mother Wen, you are so energetic today."
"This makes people feel refreshed during happy events. Can I not be happy when I take my daughter-in-law home today?"
"Mother Wen, congratulations."
"Well, I don't know when my baby will get a wife."
"Cuiwen, if I remember correctly, your baby is only fifteen this year, so he is thinking about getting a wife?"
"Fifteen, fifteen is not too young anymore. When his father was fifteen, he already had a baby."
At this moment, I don't know who suddenly said something.
"It would be great if Brother Kaishan was here. If he saw this scene, I don't know how happy he would be."
As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes turned to the speaker.
Although Zhu Kaishan was sentenced to death by the Qing government, in the eyes of the people in Zhujiacun, Zhu Kaishan was definitely an out-and-out good man and a great hero. It can be said that he was the most prestigious person in Zhujiacun.
If it were placed in ancient times, if Zhu Kaishan raised his arms and shouted, many villagers would probably follow him to 'rebel'.
Ever since Zhu Kaishan was listed on the Qing government's list, he disappeared without a trace. Several years later, there was still no news. Many people speculated that perhaps Zhu Kaishan had encountered misfortune.
But guesses are just guesses. Before getting definite information, the villagers still believe that Zhu Kaishan is still alive somewhere in the world.
If anyone is most concerned about Zhu Kaishan's disappearance, it is none other than the Zhu family.
Therefore, the villagers have a tacit understanding not to mention the word "Zhu Kaishan" in front of the Zhu family.
Who would have thought that today a fool would say it to his face.
Looking at the accusing looks on everyone's faces, the speaker suddenly panicked. Just when he was about to palm his mouth to apologize, Wen's mother suddenly spoke up and helped him out.
"Who says it's not the case? I haven't seen his father for several years, and I don't know where he is now or how he is doing."
Hearing Wen's mother's emotion, the villagers immediately turned their attention to her and started to comfort her.
"Mother Wen, don't worry. For a man as capable as Brother Kaishan, nothing will happen to him."
"Yes, with Kaishan's skills, I can live a good life no matter where I go."
"Yes, Brother Baobu Qi Kaishan has already lived a popular life of drinking spicy food, and now he is thinking of picking you up to enjoy the happiness."
On the other side, Li Jie, who had just walked out of the room, glanced at the speaker when he heard these words.
Good guy.
If he didn't know this person very well, he might have thought that he was hanging out with Zhu Kaishan.
This person is right, Zhu Kaishan is indeed planning to take their family of four over. If nothing else happens, Uncle Chunshan will come to the door tonight and bring Zhu Kaishan's letter and money.
"Hey, the groom is here."
"Oh, Chuanwen, you are so energetic today!"
"Hey, have you noticed that Chuanwen seems to have become more handsome today."
"Hey, if you don't tell me, I didn't notice it. It seems like this is really the case."
"Isn't it strange? If you marry a wife today, you will become handsome."
"Ha ha!"
Faced with everyone's teasing, Li Jie followed his original temperament and just smiled shyly.
In fact, what the villagers said is not wrong. Although he just 'woke up' last night, he has done nothing so far, and his appearance has not changed. His nose is still the same, and his face is still the same sallow and thin face.
But temperament is something different. Even though Li Jie has covered it up, there are some things that cannot be hidden no matter how hard he hides them.
Fortunately, everyone's teasing did not last long, because today is the day to welcome the bride, and the auspicious time is coming soon. I just heard a man with a weathered face yelling.
"The auspicious time has come. All you gentlemen, old and young, please start blowing up all the things you are doing!"
"Let's go get married!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the musicians in the courtyard began to play. For a moment, the sound of suonas and gongs and drums resounded throughout the world, and a group of people beat and beat around Li Jie, surrounding him.
Although no one spoke, the sound of music seemed to surround him and hurry to pick up the bride.
The only regret is that these people are not professional musicians. In the ears of Li Jie, a music master, this wedding ditty sounds a little bit amateurish.
After a while, the wedding team set off on time. As the groom's official, Li Jie was naturally among the wedding team. In addition, the second eldest brother Zhu Chuanwu and the third eldest brother Zhu Chuanwen also followed their elder brothers on the road to the wedding.
Not long after the wedding team left, a middle-aged woman wearing plain clothes walked into the small courtyard carrying a basket and shouted as she walked.
"His aunt!"
The visitor was a distant relative of the Zhu family. Hearing the familiar shout, Wen's mother quickly put down what she was doing and went over to greet him.
The woman looked around and found no trace of the groom, so she asked casually.
"Where's the message?"
"Just left."
The woman sighed and sighed.
"I woke up really early and rushed to a late gathering. I didn't even see the groom dressed up."
Wen Ta Niang replied with a smile: "When he comes back, won't you be able to see it?"
The woman nodded and didn't take it seriously. After all, she didn't come to Lao Zhu's house to see the groom, but to give her something.
"His aunt, this is something our family has put together. It will be useful for your eldest son to get married, so don't dislike it."
With that said, the woman handed the basket in her arms to Chuanwen's mother.
Wen Ta's mother blindly opened the gray cloth covering the basket, opened it and found that there was a small half basket of pancakes inside.
Seeing the half-blue pancake, the smile on Wen's mother's face suddenly disappeared. She only felt a warm current pouring into her heart, her throat squirmed several times, and she really couldn't say a word.
These pancakes are still pancakes after all, they are obviously full of friendship.
In days of famine, these half-basket pancakes can save lives!
Before, Wen's mother was worried about how to set up this banquet. You can't just bring some wild vegetables for people to eat and drink. You have to prepare some staple food and put it on the table. Even if you can't feed everyone, you always mean it.
Wanted.
Now, with this half basket of pancakes, she finally no longer has to worry about the staple food.
"His aunt, what are you talking about? In order to get a stone of millet for our boss, who didn't scrape all over the bottom of their tank? A stone of millet is nothing in normal times, but in a disaster year,
That’s enough for several families to survive, what do you think of this?”
