Zuo Xiaoqing wrote down the name of Jianghan University Medical School, majoring in clinical medicine, and solemnly submitted it to the education department.
Scores will be available until the end of July.
During this time, Lin Yi is preparing to do something big.
"Xiaoqing, I sent a letter to my family, saying that the two of us would go back together in a few days," Lin Yi said.
"What are you going back for?" Zuo Xiaoqing didn't respond for a while.
"Let's have a wedding reception."
Zuo Xiaoqing's face turned red.
night,
Zuo Xiaoqing hugged Lin Yi and said softly: "Brother, can this be considered a double blessing for me? I can get into the university of my choice and marry the man I love."
"Is it just a double happiness? There is also a triple happiness."
Lin Yi got on his horse and galloped thousands of miles.
The next day.
Lin Yi took Zuo Xiaoqing to the Friendship Store.
Naturally, you have to wear something festive when you get married. Wedding dresses are out of the question. There is no such thing as wedding dresses these days, and Lin Yi doesn't like wedding dresses. In the end, Zuo Xiaoqing chose a very beautiful red half-sleeved dress.
There are also small flowers on it, so you can wear them later.
As for other things needed for the wedding reception, Lin Yi also bought some. On the way back, Lin Yi took Zuo Xiaoqing to the post office and made a call to Director Lu of the Huangshi Second Garment Factory.
"Brother Lu, please do something."
"Brother Lin, why are you so polite? If you have anything to say, please speak up." Director Lu said.
"I'm planning to go back to my wife's parents' house to hold a wedding reception in the next few days, and I'd like your help in getting some rice, noodles and vegetables."
"Hey, what do I mean? That's it."
Director Lu breathed a sigh of relief. With Lin Yi's tone just now, he thought something big had happened. With Lin Yi's current situation, asking himself to stop talking was a million-dollar task. He didn't expect that he was just asking himself to prepare an order.
.
"Don't worry, brother. When you get married, my brother will definitely prepare everything for you. You will get whatever you want." Director Lu assured, patting his chest.
"Tomorrow I will go to Huangshi with my partner." Lin Yi said.
"No problem, I'll ask the driver to pick you up at the station. We can come over and discuss what you want." Director Lu said with a smile.
With the help of Director Lu, things will be a hundred times easier.
Zuo Xiaoqing looked at his man and felt happy in his heart. No matter how big the matter was, he could always handle it easily when he came to Brother Lin. This was called ability.
A capable man is so handsome.
back home,
Lin Yi rummaged through the bottom of the box.
When he first started smuggling, he still left some property behind. There was a black and white TV set, two tape recorders, and more watches in the cabinet.
Zuo Xiaoqing already has a watch. It was a beautiful Swiss women's watch given by him. This time he went over and planned to give some gifts to Zuo Xiaoqing's family.
"Xiaoqing, do you think we can bring a TV and a tape recorder over here? Is this a shabby betrothal gift?"
"Ah~!"
Zuo Xiaoqing's eyes widened, "It's still shabby. It seems that no one in our village has a TV. Brother, we don't need such expensive things."
"Hahaha, I brought someone's most valuable daughter here, and she is so obedient and sensible. It's nothing to give these as gifts. Since you think it's okay, then take them with you. Isn't your brother getting married? He will just use it later.
Worth it."
Four big items.
Three turns and one sound,
Lin Yi directly prepared two kinds, and they were super high-quality.
The next day, the two of them got on the long-distance bus. They recalled that they had sat side by side like this before. Lin Yi was writing on the palm of Zuo Xiaoqing's hand. The two looked at each other and smiled, and Zuo Xiaoqing's hand was quietly inserted into Lin Yi's palm.
Arriving at Huangshi,
Director Lu's driver came to pick them up at the long-distance station. Zuo Xiaowang also came at the same time. Zuo Xiaowang saw his sister and ran over happily, "Sister, brother-in-law, you are here."
"Xiaowang, why are you here? You've grown a lot stronger." Zuo Xiaoqing touched his brother's arm.
"Director Lu asked me and Master Xiao Zhang to come and pick you up," Zuo Xiaowang said.
The driver, Master Zhang, is here.
"Manager Lin, the factory director asked me to pick you up. Do you think you should go to the guest house first or the factory first?"
"Go to the factory first. I haven't seen you for a long time, Brother Lu." Lin Yi said with a smile.
In the Second Garment Factory, the workers are very busy every day. In addition to the original children's clothing, there are also foreign exchange orders from Lin Yi and the sales needs of Hanzheng Street. The workers have to work overtime every day.
But the workers were very happy, because being busy meant making money. From Lin Yi, the Second Garment Factory received a lot of extra income. Director Lu used part of the money to improve factory conditions, such as improving the food in the canteen.
A kindergarten has been built and a new worker community has been established. On the other hand, bonuses have been distributed, and the workers have truly benefited.
No matter how you try to catch people's hearts, shouting slogans are all vain. Not everyone has such a high level of consciousness. It would be better to offer tangible benefits to impress people.
Director Lu saw the car entering the courtyard and came out to greet it.
"Brother, I see you again. These are my brothers and sisters. They are so beautiful. They are a talented man and a beautiful woman. Let's take a walk and chat in the room."
Everyone came to the house to drink tea.
Director Lu smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have arranged everything for you. Now Xiaowang can also drive. I have specially allocated a truck and let Xiaowang follow you these days. It is only natural for my brother-in-law to help my brother-in-law."
.”
Everyone laughed.
"Brother, you don't need to prepare too much. I thought about it and got a few bags of rice, a few bags of noodles, some vegetables, chickens, ducks, etc. The main thing is to buy so many batches at once. It's not easy to buy in rural areas. I'll look for them later in the village.
Just a helper as a cook will do," Lin Yi said.
Director Lu waved his hand, "That's fine."
"Don't worry, I have made arrangements for Master He, who can cook banquet dishes in the factory, to follow him. He has brought the stove, pots and pans, tables, chairs and benches. Now that we are doing things in the village, we have to borrow these from door to door. What a hassle.
.”
"Why did you arrange for Xiaowang to use his big truck to do this? Brother, you have never done anything. Holding a banquet is easy and troublesome. As for you, don't think about it. I have already contacted the county over there.
The county magistrate told him to talk to the villagers and help them get things done."
Lin Yi sounded very daring to move.
Although at the beginning,
Both parties are in a relationship of combined interests.
But now that people can help me so carefully, this affection must be remembered. Sometimes relationships are like this,
Start with benefits and deepen with love.
the next day,
Lin Yi and Zuo Xiaoqing returned to the village in a large truck driven by Xiaowang. The large truck was loaded with a large load of things. There were really everything including tables, chairs, benches, pots, bowls and pans. They had to return them after they were used, as well as some fruits and vegetables.
Originally, Lin Yi planned to purchase tobacco, alcohol, sugar, tea, etc. himself, but Director Lu disagreed and ended up moving the items from the factory.
Zuo Xiaoqing looked at his younger brother driving a large truck steadily, and felt very happy. In this era, being a truck driver is the best profession, and he will not have to worry about food and drink in the future.
A large truck enters the village,
It immediately caught the attention of the children.
The summer vacation in the village starts early. Unlike the children in the cities in later generations, children now have to go to a lot of cram schools during the holidays. Children nowadays just herd sheep during the holidays. Except for those who are dragged to the fields, the rest are all over the world.
Running wildly.
Go up the tree to dig out bird's nests, go down to the river to fish for fish and shrimps, there's nothing you can't do.
A large truck enters the village,
A group of children ran after him.
The smoke and dust from the truck were so thick that a group of children soon turned into gray monkeys and were still chasing after them.
The truck stopped at Zuo Xiaoqing's house. This was Lin Yi's second visit, but it could be seen that Zuo Xiaoqing's house had obviously changed.
Her yard was originally a fence wall made of tree branches, but now it has been turned into a brick wall as high as a person. The outside of the street has also been repaired. When walking into the yard, the yard was originally land, but now it has been leveled and paved with red bricks.
The house has not been moved, but it can be seen that some of the original damaged areas have been repaired, and the overall look is much newer.
It can be seen that the Zuo family has made preparations for their daughter's happy event long in advance. The Zuo family heard the news and came out. Zuo's father, Zuo's mother, Zuo Dahong, and a young woman. Lin Yi called his uncle and aunt, and Zuo Dahong introduced the young woman.
, turned out to be his partner, the two were engaged, and she was Zuo Xiaoqing's future sister-in-law.
When Zuo Dahong was expelled, the person he was originally talking about called a matchmaker to cancel the engagement the next day. Zuo Dahong gritted his teeth and backed out. However, within a few days, Lin Yi made a call and all the problems in the Zuo family were solved. The deputy mayor led
After someone came to apologize, Zuo Dahong went back to work at the agricultural machinery station.
The family that broke off the engagement regretted it and found someone to make peace with it. Zuo Dahong immediately rejected the other party. Such a woman had a bad character and it would not be a blessing to marry her. Anyway, they had only met twice and had no feelings for each other, so there was no need to look back.
Later, Xiaowang also went to work, and everyone could tell that the Zuo family was about to get up. There was an endless stream of people coming to ask for marriage. An uncle and aunt told Dahong about his niece. This uncle and aunt had good conduct and treated people well.
So generous, Zuo Dahong met the girl. This girl was prettier than the original one, with big eyes and an oval face, a plump body, and a more reasonable manner. The two got along quickly and got engaged two months later.
At this time, it is not time to make a big deal out of the engagement, just the next engagement ceremony, sometimes even without a meal.
This time Zuo Xiaoqing held a banquet, and Zuo Dahong's fiancée came over to help.
The truck not only attracted the children, but also alarmed other people in the village. They had long heard that Xiaoqing was coming back to hold a banquet, and many people were waiting. The Zuo family is not a big family in this village. All the uncles, brothers, and cousins combined
There are only seventy or eighty people in the village, and their common surnames are Zhang and Li. The Zuo family is the last among the four surnames in the village.
In rural areas at that time, small households were indeed bullied. This was inevitable, but it also depended on the situation. If there was a capable person of a certain surname who could suppress everyone from messing around, life would still not be difficult.
Hearing that Zuo's car was coming, the village party secretary came with a group of people. When he saw Lin Yi, he was all smiles, "This must be Manager Lin. Oh, I have been looking up to you for a long time. I received a call from Secretary Zhang yesterday. We will wait for it."
Coming for you."
"There are so many things in the car. Please help us carry them down."
Everyone helped to move things from the car, and the more they moved, the more frightened they became. Oh my god, how many things have been prepared?
Uniform standards for tables, chairs and benches,
There are enough pots and pans for hundreds of people.
We have prepared a lot of tobacco and alcohol,
There are more dishes, dozens of live chickens and ducks. It seems that this means one chicken and one duck per table. How luxurious this is.
There are all kinds of things that are hard to buy.
Someone moved a box down and asked out of curiosity: "What is this box?"
Some people were surprised when they saw it: "Is this a TV set?"
"Television, darling, is this a betrothal gift? This TV only costs a few hundred yuan, and I heard it's hard to buy it even if you have money. You need a plane ticket for the TV."
"This is also a tape recorder. This thing costs several hundred yuan."
Someone ran out from the side and said excitedly to everyone: "I just heard from Xiaowang that there will be a formal banquet tomorrow, and the master chef from their garment factory will come to cook. There will definitely be a lot of eight hot and four cold dishes."
"Moreover, my new uncle said that we will have a fire in the brigade courtyard in the evening, stewed meat and vegetables, and every household can eat it. By the way, the TV will also be moved to the brigade for everyone to enjoy the night.
