Early on Sunday morning, Xu Damao took away his beautifully dressed daughter.
This morning, Nannan didn't braid her hair, so Chen Jinnian used the little rabbit hairpin to pull up her hair.
Before going out, the little girl looked in the mirror with gleaming eyes, looking at herself in disbelief.
Nannan looks very grand, with a straight nose and soft eyebrows. Unlike Chen Huiling and Chen Jingnian, whose facial features are sharp and angular, especially her eyes are too sharp.
Nannan's eyes are like her mother Li Yulan's, with a touch of relief and warmth.
The careful dressing up made her look like she had grown up a lot, she was cute and dignified, but she couldn't smile because when she smiled, her front teeth that had just popped out were exposed, and she immediately changed from very good-looking to very funny.
...
Xu Damao's parents arrived at the courtyard early, greeting the neighbors who came to help and congratulate them.
The two of them were dressed very cheerfully, but they still couldn't hide the acrimonious look on their faces.
Chen Jinnian took advantage of helping to set up the tables and chairs and took a closer look at this strange couple.
He felt that the two of them looked so much like a couple that they even gave him the illusion that they were not husband and wife but siblings.
With the same long face and cheeks that looked like they had been shaved by a razor, Chen Jingnian felt that the two male and female should be called angle iron, or male angle iron and female angle iron.
"You guys, can someone help me get some more mud?"
A capable man was building a stove in Fangshan. He was wearing white clothes and a chef's hat.
"Brother Qi, please help me get some mud!"
Xu Damao's mother walked up to the eldest son of Lao Qi's family in Xikuoyuan and said with a smile.
"Okay, let's go now!"
The eldest son of the Qi family is the man with the most lines in the drama, and he is also the more active among the younger generation in the courtyard.
"Hey, you're a second-hand cook, right? When a chef sets up a stove, you don't even have the plaster ready? Are you an apprentice now? You didn't sneak out to take the job without telling the master, right?"
He Yuzhu put his hands in his hands and walked slowly and leisurely from the side door, smiling.
"Silly Zhu, don't make sarcastic remarks here. Just go wherever you like!"
Xu Damao's father, Xu Fugui, stopped in front of He Yuzhu and scolded him unhappily.
He turned to the chef and said with a smile: "Master Niu, you are busy with your business, don't talk to him, he is just a bastard."
"Master Xu, don't worry! I know him. Isn't he the Silly Zhu, the son of He Daqing? Just let him talk freely. An eighth-level cook who can only stay in the factory canteen earns more than 30 yuan a month.
, he will be virtuous his entire life!"
Master Niu glanced at He Yuzhu with disdain and continued to smear the plaster in the basin on the built-up stove.
"Tie Sun, you are an oily person and have turned white - just practice for a short time!"
He Yuzhu took his hands out of his pocket, rolled up his sleeves, and cursed at Master Niu.
"Silly Zhu, how dare you!"
Xu Fugui opened his arms, stood in front of Master Niu, and shouted.
"Master Xu, you don't have to be afraid. I'll stand here and see if he dares to touch me. If he dares to touch a finger of mine, I will make him unable to survive in Sijiu City like his father.
"
Master Niu picked up the spoon, knocked the wok, and said with a smile.
At this time, Yi Zhonghai came over, stepped forward and grabbed He Yuzhu, and said sternly: "Zhuzhu, go back. If you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the rain!"
"Hey, if you can cook two dishes, you really take yourself seriously. You should be a good person before doing it. That's bullshit Tan's cooking. You should be an eighth-level cook for the rest of your life!"
Master Niu watched He Yuzhu being pulled away, took out the kitchen knife and other things from his pocket, and placed them aside.
The few women who helped started busy washing vegetables, while Master Niu asked the young apprentice who followed him to start cutting meat and preparing vegetables.
The flames rose, the oil in the pot splashed everywhere, and a large amount of foam instantly appeared. The crowd around them greedily smelled the smell that came out of the heated rapeseed oil.
...
"Why are you leaving! I just woke up, who would have missed a good show!"
Pi Xiaotao came out of the deaf old lady's house, yawned, walked up to Chen Jingnian, and said with a smile.
"Have you washed your face? Your face is covered with eye guano and your mouth is full of breath!"
Chen Jinnian looked at this girl's disheveled hair and said sarcastically.
"Look at it so carefully! Smell carefully to see what it smells like!"
As Pi Xiaotao spoke, he leaned closer to Chen Jingnian and said with a provocative look.
Chen Jingnian calmly stretched out his foot and hooked the stool. Pi Xiaotao, who was about to move forward, tripped on the stool unprepared.
"ah!"
Pi Xiaotao fell forward and screamed.
"careful!"
Chen Jingnian stretched out his hand to support Pi Xiaotao, and moved and brushed her sides with his hands.
"Um?"
Pi Xiaotao snorted, his face instantly turned red, his eyes widened, and he looked at Chen Jingnian in surprise.
"She's quite sensitive! She just lost some weight!"
Chen Jingnian helped Pi Xiaotao sit down on the stool and whispered.
Pi Xiaotao watched Chen Jingnian pouting and going to carry the table with others as if nothing was wrong. The surprise in her eyes slowly turned into a shy and annoyed smile.
...
More and more people came to the wedding, many of whom were workers Xu Damao met at the steel rolling mill. These people came with kettles, thermos bottles and other daily necessities in their hands, or quilts in festive colors, hand-embroidered.
Pillowcase and tablecloth crocheted with stick thread after taking apart the labor protection gloves.
Finally, Secretary Chang and Li Huaide, chairman of the factory's labor union, and Director Sun from the Propaganda Department also came.
Xu Damao's two sisters sat behind a table covered with red paper and wrote down the money and gifts brought by the people who came to the wedding.
Yan Bugui stood in front of the long table and hesitated for a long time, then took out fifty cents from his pocket and handed it to Xu Damao's sister.
After one of Xu Damao's sisters took the money, she sang Yan Bugui's name and the amount of money that came with the gift.
The flesh on Yan Bugui's face trembled with the syllables, and he stared at the banknote that was getting further and further away from him.
...
When a Shanghai brand car slowly drove into Nanluogu Alley, Yan Jiekuang and several other young men lit firecrackers on bamboo poles.
Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e got out of the car amid the smoke, followed by Nannan and a chubby little boy.
"Hey, sedan! It's so impressive!"
"The woman's own!"
"Hey, the paint on this car is so bright!"
"It's such a bad situation! It's so bad!"
Neighbors gathered around the car at the entrance of the alley, talking about it with envy in their eyes.
Lou Xiao'e led her daughter, and Xu Damao held the little boy's hand. The two walked toward the yard together amidst people's cheers.
Lou Xiaoe got a new perm, and the rolled bangs made her baby-fat face look rounder.
She was wearing a lavender hot velvet top with a small collar and a pair of trousers of the same color and material. Her voluptuous figure made the clothes and trousers very full.
Xu Damao was wearing a khaki Mao suit made of woolen material. The clothes and trousers were neatly pressed and straight, making this guy look a bit handsome.
After the two got out of the car, hearing so many compliments, Xu Damao couldn't help but wrinkle his face, grinned at the corners of his mouth, and greeted his neighbors with "Welcome, welcome" all the way.
When Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e walked into the courtyard, the aunts and uncles in the courtyard lined up to welcome them.
The girl who followed Lou Xiaoe pursed her lips and looked around, a smile flowing from the corners of her mouth, and she was about to be unable to hold on.
"Come, come, come, newcomers, please stand still!"
Xu Damao's eldest brother-in-law maintained order in the backyard and circled an open space in the yard.
After Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e stood up, he raised his hands and pressed down. When the scene became quiet, he said loudly: "Now, let's invite Secretary Chang of the steel rolling mill to speak!"
Secretary Chang walked to the middle of the open space, raised his hand and waved to the neighbors around him, then clasped his hands together in front of him, exerted all his strength, and said loudly: "Comrades, neighbors! I am here today on behalf of the steel rolling mill.
Join Comrade Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e..."
Chen Jingnian took advantage of Secretary Chang's speech to give Xu Damao's sister a total of one yuan and fifty cents in three installments, and watched her write down the names of Li Xianwen, Chen Huiling and himself on the gift list.
This amount of money is given based on the usual price between the two families, neither more nor less.
After Chen Jingnian finished the ceremony, he was thinking about how he could make up for the bricks, cement and sand money to Xu Damao.
He was thinking about things in his mind. Secretary Chang over there had finished speaking. Chen Jingnian applauded along with everyone. Then Li Huaide went up to say a few more words. Finally, the newlyweds were embraced by everyone and walked into the new house. This chapter has been completed!
