Rebirth of Rural Literary Life

Chapter 337
The old captain also came over to He Ping's house for a walk when he had nothing to do, pointing and gesticulating, "I can't do this job...then what the hell..."

He Ping was quite happy to see the old man coming to help, but he didn't expect the old man to speak without moving his hands, "If you don't work, can you stop for a while, and you will be there."

The old captain put his hands behind his back, "What do you know, this is called overall planning, and I'm here to check for you."

"Thank you!" He Ping said angrily.

These days, weddings and funerals in rural areas all have someone in charge. On the morning of April [-]th, the old man came over. He was from Kezhai.

The old captain asked He Ping to call him Fifth Master, "Hello Fifth Master!"

The old man looked older than the old captain, but he was in good spirits, "Let me see how everything is prepared?"

The old man wandered around inside and outside the house, "Okay, it's pretty complete. We're not as particular about it as before, we just need to have everything ready. You can just listen to me tomorrow."

In the afternoon, Liang Yuejin drove over from Yingcheng with a group of people.

"Brother, is there anything I can help you with?"

He Ping looked at the young and old who were busy in the yard, "What else do you think can help?"

Liang Yuejin looked at the situation and scratched his head, "It seems to be nothing."

Through the joint efforts of the whole team, men, women and children, the doors and windows of He Ping's house were covered with happy characters and paper-cuts, and many red silks were hung in the house, and the courtyard was decorated with lanterns and festoons.

In the evening, He Ping invited the commune members who came to help and Liang Yuejin and his party to the talent dormitory for dinner. Several tables of people gathered together, and the scene was very lively.

It is rare for He Ping not to drink tonight. He has one more thing on his mind.

Just as he was thinking, a person appeared.

"My second brother, you are here."

Han Zhaokun hurried back and handed the things to He Ping, "Brother, I'm really sorry. Our business is so hot that I almost couldn't come back."

He Ping took the things and summoned Han Zhaojun to come over, "Zhaojun, take two people to Chunhua's house to deliver things. These are the jewelry that I asked Zhaokun's second brother to buy back from Nanshan. Chunhua will use them tomorrow." superior."

There is a custom before the wedding in Ping County that the bride and groom are not allowed to meet for three days before the wedding.

After Han Zhaojun left, He Ping asked Han Zhaokun, "What's the matter? Why are you back so late?"

"Don't mention it, I originally wanted to come back after shopping in Nanshan. But who would have thought that the development of our garment factory is so good that peddlers from other places are blocking our door, waving tickets to buy clothes , but our production capacity is simply not enough.

I bought a sewing machine temporarily and recruited people, and it took me several days to get it right. "

"Then you can't delay things if you're not here?"

"It's okay, we have so many brothers. Besides, there is Master Hu, I have explained everything before I leave."

Knowing that the business of the garment factory is booming, He Ping is in a good mood. Han Zhaokun wants to take him to drink, but he refuses: "No, no, tomorrow is my big day. You have to stay awake no matter what you say today. You drink with them." .”

He Ping pointed to the members at the next table, and Han Zhaokun saw that he really didn't want to drink, so he had to give up, "I'll drink you well tomorrow."

After dinner, the members went to He Ping's house to tidy up for the last time. It was the first time that the house was so clean since they moved to a new house.

In the evening, Xiao Zhu'er lay on the bed and read his little book.

"Zhu'er, dad will get married tomorrow." He Ping said earnestly
Xiao Zhu'er didn't even raise her head, "Hmm!"

What is eh?
Can't read it?

The old father has prepared a full stomach of chicken soup and is about to sprinkle it. Can you be more serious, is the book so good for a little man?

Forget it, stop talking, get angry.

Don't take this kid with you when you go out to play, let him read his little book.

Early in the morning on May [-]st, just after dawn, before He Ping woke up, he heard someone banging on the door of the room.

He Ping opened the door sleepily, and it turned out to be the old captain, "What are you doing!"

"What are you doing, every day, I get married and you get married? Not positive at all." The old captain said with his eyes wide open.

He Ping looked at the clock, it was not five o'clock yet.

"I get married and you get married, you are more active than me." He Ping complained, and went to wash his face and brush his teeth.

"Smooth and quick, everyone will come over in a while."

He Ping finished brushing his teeth, wiped his mouth unhurriedly, and began to change his clothes.

Not long after changing clothes, people in the team came to He Ping's house one after another.

"Hurry up, order some noodles to deal with it, and go pick up the bride later." The old captain ordered.

As soon as the fifth master came over, he found that the old captain had robbed him of all his work, so he ordered everyone to perform their duties.

The women in the team made a big pot of noodles, and a group of people ate a bowl whole, and they were full.

"Come on, all the bride-to-be are here, get ready, and we'll set off later."

Fifth Master handed out little red flowers one by one, feeling something was wrong, "Why are there so many people here?"

The little red flowers in my hand are gone, and those who want to pick up the bride are still waiting in line.

He Ping was amused when he saw it, "I said, why are you all joining in the fun? You can go to a few representatives, and you want the whole brigade to be dispatched?"

The members laughed and said, "Today we are all in-laws!"

"Go, go, how can there be so many cars to carry you?"

"No need, we have all prepared by ourselves."

He Ping went out and saw, good guy, thirty or forty bicycles were neatly lined up at the gate of his courtyard, and there were several donkey carts.

Now that conditions in Hantun are better, bicycles have become a must-have means of transportation for every household.

The third boy from Aunt Qiufen's family was at the end of the line, fighting a dog.

He Ping asked him, "What's your situation?"

The third child vowed, "Brother He Ping, I'll ride the dog."

"Go to the side for me!"

He Ping didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I said everyone, I know you are all happy for me, but we don't need so many people to go to pick up the bride!"

"That won't work. You have been single for decades, and you finally got married. Our brigade has to express it. Everyone, don't you think so?"

"Yes!"

These shameless people, He Ping suspected that they thought of punishing him when they came to Mao Chunhua's house.

"Okay, let's go, it's good to be happy today, and it's better to be more lively." The old captain said something, and everyone cheered.

The members of the book club just arrived at this moment, and they made an agreement with He Ping and Mao Chunhua that the men would come to He Ping's house and the women would go to Mao Chunhua's house.

"What's your situation? There are too many people. I feel that we are not needed." Li Feng said.

"That's called momentum!" He Ping smiled triumphantly, and let Xiao Zhu'er sit on the beam of his bicycle, "Let's go, let's go pick up my relatives."

After finishing speaking, he pedaled the bicycle, and the black manganese steel student rushed out.

Then one after another bicycles followed him, and the last few donkey carts were loaded with men, women and children from Hantun.

He Ping originally prepared ten bicycles to go with him to pick up his relatives, but the team sent out another thirty or forty bicycles. In addition to the bicycles ridden by friends from the study club, the entire team consisted of fifty or sixty bicycles.
