The betrothal gift given by Widow Wang's family was one hundred yuan and a radio, which was incomparable to the three-turn-and-one-ring system in big cities, but it was already very stingy in the team.
Jiang Xinyu is getting married soon, and there are a lot of people visiting her these days.
In addition to news and current affairs and politics, the radio also has children's programs, prose and poetry recitations, and a song is played every day.
In an era without television and the Internet, everyone could only listen to the radio. Jiang Xinyu still listened to "Journey to the West" with gusto.
She has watched Journey to the West, but not every episode has been missed. She can be fascinated by the plots she has never seen before.
There was a lot of meat at home this year. When my eldest nephew came back, Chen Xiuyun took the fresh meat and made her signature braised pork with potatoes and stewed cured fish.
Jiang Xinyu still made up the money and took the piece of Engner. Chen Zhengyu took the money and watch to Chen Yi and sorted out the accounts for him.
Jiang Xinyu was woken up in the middle of the night the next day. She was so sleepy that she couldn't even open her eyes. After washing her face and brushing her teeth, her eyes were still sore.
Wear autumn clothes inside, put on last year's sweater, and wear a red coat on the outside. The blue-gray trousers on the lower body are made of cloth bought by Jiang Zhenzhen.
After putting on her clothes, she crossed her legs and closed her eyes, letting the two sisters toss the makeup on her face.
"Please make it look nice."
Jiang Zhenzhen is full of confidence: "It's necessary. I specially found someone to learn it."
Jiang Yuzhu: "I also learned a little bit when I was filming a movie. I will make sure you go out beautifully today."
Her hair was tied up and she was smeared with hair oil. The plastic flower Chen Zhengyu brought back was pinned to her head. The strong fragrance of the foundation was really unbearable for her.
When I opened my eyes again, looking at the red-faced Jiang Xinyu in the mirror, she was really silent, and her drowsiness disappeared.
Ahhhh, who is this?
The eyebrows are drawn thin and black, the eyeliner is drawn, and the small curls of hair are raised at the temples and ears. Ignoring the shocking red face, the look is like Da Ji in the old version of Fengshen Yan.
"Can you two know each other?"
As soon as I finished speaking, my second aunt Ma Meili came in.
"Oh, oh, you are really a fairy descending to earth. Xinyu's makeup is so good today. I have seen so many brides, and you are the most beautiful."
Jiang Xinyu looked at her sincere praise and fell silent again.
Jiang Zhenzhen and Jiang Yuzhu felt that they were good at their craftsmanship, and they proudly straightened their backs.
"Second aunt said it looks good, why are you still not satisfied?"
Jiang Xinyu was determined not to allow herself to get married with such a monkey's butt, so she took the tissue paper to wipe away the redness on her face.
Chen Xiuyun came in with a plate of dumplings, and Chen Zhengyu followed behind with bone soup with meat. He put the bowl down and smiled when he saw Jiang Xinyu, "I said, this face is too red, just like an opera singer."
Chen Xiuyun commented: "It looks just right to me. No need to wipe it. How festive."
Xiaochuan stuck his head out: "Sister Xinyu is so beautiful today."
Jiang Xinyu really felt that Chen Zhengyu was the only person with normal aesthetics in this yard.
Her face was too red and she rubbed it unevenly, so she applied another layer of powder. This thick powder was really going to kill her.
After a bowl of dumplings and broth, I feel really energetic.
More and more people came to the house, and the young wives and unmarried girls in the team came to watch the fun.
Jiang Xinyu's appearance is naturally beautiful, and she looks like a person in a painting when she puts on make-up. The ladies and daughters-in-law are talking to each other, and she is praised so much that her tail is raised to the sky. She feels that she can really compare with Daji.
At around nine o'clock, her brother-in-law Zhang Hua rushed back and brought her two pillow covers embroidered with red flowers and a tea bottle.
Widow Wang was really busy at home. She had no relatives at home, so she asked women with whom she had good connections to help.
Jiang Xinyu was already drowsy over there, and Chen Yicai, wearing a light gray suit, rode a bicycle to Jiang Xinyu's house to pick her up.
A group of little kids followed behind the bicycle, each holding wedding candy in their mouths and shouting: "Look at the bride."
Xiaochuan is not very tall. Today it is Chen Zhengyu who carries Jiang Xinyu. When Jiang Zhenzhen got married, it was Jiang Yuehua who carried her. Now the two families have no contact at all, and Chen Xiuyun has not invited him to his house at all.
Lying on Chen Zhengyu's shoulder, the string of plastic flower beads on her head was hanging down. She raised her head and glanced at Chen Yi, and the string of beads also moved.
Very good, this old-fashioned suit doesn't fit him well. It's a bit wide at the shoulders, doesn't fit well at the waist, and the trouser legs are a bit loose. Compared with the various well-tailored suits he wore in later generations, this suit looks like
Picked up.
It doesn't fit, but it doesn't fit him well, but it doesn't look like a teenager who has stolen an adult man's clothes when he wears it. He still looks good. He is already tall and tall, and this unslim suit gives him an unruly look.
Temperament and retro era feel.
Today would still be a good day as long as she wasn't the only one feeling rustic.
After getting on the bicycle, he took her around the village. A group of little kids chased her with sweets in their mouths, sniffles and cheers.
The cold wind hit her face, and she put one arm around his waist.
Walking around the village reminded her of Li Lei's wife riding a tractor several times around the village on her wedding day.
There were a lot of guests at Chen Yi's house. There were people outside and in the courtyard. When they came back on their bicycles, all the guests' eyes fell on the two of them.
Jiang Xinyu also met Teacher Xiao Lin. Xia Dongmin, the captain of the advancement brigade, also came with his younger brother. Song Guifang didn't seem to be here today.
Widow Wang smiled with a bright red face.
After kowtowing and calling someone, I got two pieces of great unity.
When she sat on the bed in the room, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are you hungry? There are some snacks on the table. You need to satisfy your stomach first. My mother will bring you food later."
Chen Yi had to go out to toast and greet the guests, and Jiang Zhenzhen came in with her child in her arms.
Looking at their house, he nodded and said, "It's very clean, everything is new."
Today's Widow Wang is very good. There are two big pots of vegetables on each table.
Yes, it's a basin.
A pot of fried pork with cabbage, a pot of tofu, pig's blood, kelp and other miscellaneous vegetables were mixed together to make a messy stew. However, there were a lot of cigarettes and wine on every table, as well as wedding candies and melon seeds.
.
The food for the guests was not bad at all. It couldn't be compared to when I was married to Li Lei. But the small stove given to Jiang Xinyu was very good.
A plate of braised pig's trotters, a very spicy stir-fried pig's head with green onions, served with bacon and mushrooms, vermicelli-wrapped buns, and pumpkin soup. It looks really delicious, delicious, and tasty.
The pig's trotters are soft and delicious, the hot pork head meat is sticky and not greasy, and the buns are even more fragrant. The combination of bacon and mushrooms is salty and delicious.
Jiang Zhenzhen fell in love with the buns after eating one. She was pregnant and felt that the buns were to her liking, "Even restaurants can't make them taste like this. My aunt's craftsmanship is really good."
If she hadn't thought that Jiang Xinyu wouldn't be able to eat so much, Widow Wang could still finish the whole plate of bacon and braised fish. But now that everyone has come in, she can always make people fat in the future.
Widow Wang hurriedly delivered the meal and went to entertain the guests.
Jiang Xinyu didn't have much appetite for food, so Jiang Zhenzhen did all the rest.
