Since 1979 I have been in the tide of the times

Chapter 52 Marriage
Of course Wang Weidong knew that what Brother Chen Jihong said was for him.

At the end of the drink, Chen Jicheng respected Wang Weidong with his wine glass: "Weidong, my sister will be entrusted to you!"

Three days later, Chen Jicheng went to Dalian, and the army sent him to the military academy for further studies.

Another month later, news came out that Director Shi, who had been the director of Xiangyang Chemical Factory for five years, would soon be transferred back to the Ministry of Capital as director.

During the five years that Factory Manager Shi has been in Xiangyang Chemical Plant, the salary and bonus of Xiangyang Chemical Plant have increased the fastest in the past five years. Although everyone knows that this is mainly due to the national reform and foreign trade, everyone has a good impression of him.

From the establishment of the Xiangyang Chemical Factory, all the leaders wore blue overalls like the workers, rode bicycles to work, and huddled together with the workers in the big cafeteria to eat and eat together. Very few leaders received bad reviews.

Li Yufeng finally gave in and was ready to accept Chen Jihong, a dumb daughter-in-law. When practicing Hexiang Zhuanggong in the morning, Wang Haifu struck while the iron was hot. A meal seals the marriage.

On the day of eating, Wang Weidong and Chen Jihong ran to the vegetable market early to buy a lot of chicken, duck and fish.

Li Yufeng felt a little dissatisfied and complained to Wang Haifu: "I know that the future father-in-law and mother-in-law will come to eat today, and Weidong has spent a lot of money."

"The day when the advanced father-in-law and mother-in-law came to our house for dinner, it was also Weidong's money. Have you forgotten? He also bought a bottle of Zhuyeqing at that time!" Wang Haifu said.

That time, Qu Xiaomei's father drank too much, and as a result, the bride price matter fell through.

Qu Xiaomei was also in a very unhappy mood. Li Yufeng objected very strongly when she and Wang Xian had sex, and it lasted for a long time.

But this time Li Yufeng was quickly defeated, what does that mean?This shows that in Li Yufeng's heart, she is worse than that dumb Chen Jihong!

In the back room, Wang Haifu chatted with Lao Chen. The two talked about recent events in Xiangyang Chemical Factory, such as the performance of the new factory manager, and their experience in practicing Hexiang Pile Kungfu. Go fishing by the river.

Li Yufeng chatted with Chen Jihong's mother. The two of them were about the same age and had similar jobs in the factory. They talked about things about the factory. They giggled from time to time, and shared a common language.

Today is the day when the parents of the two sides meet, but grandma Huang Guiying did not attend. They are people who have known each other for 30 or [-] years, and the politeness on the scene is directly omitted.

Wang Jinjin and Qu Xiaomei sat in the outer room waiting for dinner while listening to the conversation in the inner room, Qu Xiaomei gradually understood why Li Yufeng did not agree to her marriage with Wang Jinjin.If her parents came to this home, Wang Haifu and Li Yufeng could only be polite and perfunctory, and they would never have so much in common.

In the kitchen, Chen Jihong quickly killed fish, descaled chickens, and plucked their feathers, while Wang Weidong began to stew chicken and stir-fry meat to make use of his frying and cooking skills.

Two hours later, Chen Jihong brought the dishes prepared by Wang Weidong to the table in the back room.

Old Chen Tou smelled the fragrance and said: "Weidong's craftsmanship is really not bad, not worse than the master chef in the state-run restaurant!"

"From now on, our Jihong family will be lucky!" said Chen Jihong's mother.

At the dinner table, the seven people were still chatting while eating. The four old people didn't take the purpose of today's meal into consideration at all. Chen Jihong was embarrassed to look up during the whole meal.

Qu Xiaomei was very curious, and wanted to know how much money Wang Haifu and Li Yufeng would give when Wang Weidong got married.

After the meal, Chen Jihong put away the dishes and served tea.

The four old people finally started talking about their children's marriage.

"Old Chen, you are a good carpenter. You can make a sofa for Weidong and the others," Wang Haifu said.

Old Chen nodded and said, "I've already thought about this, and I'll make a three-door cabinet to store clothes."

"We will make new quilts for the young couple. Weidong's grandma lives with the young couple, and we will make a new set of quilts for the old lady," said Chen Jihong's mother.

Since then, the woman has finished talking about what she wants to show.

"I discussed it with Weidong's mother. The family will buy them a sewing machine and a pressure cooker. They will not buy the radio. They are the ones who produce this. They will deal with the old bicycle and give Jihong 100 yuan. She bought the fabrics for RMB [-], and made whatever color and style she liked. They bought the pots, pans, needles and threads by themselves, and the two of them have saved some money in the past two years." Wang Haifu said.

Since then, we have finished talking about what the man wants to buy, which can be said to be a bit shabby.

Qu Xiaomei turned to look at Chen Jihong's parents, the two old people didn't have any objections.

Qu Xiaomei's mentality improved a lot. Wang Haifu and Li Yufeng didn't spend as much money on Wang Weidong as they did on Wang Xianjin's marriage.

"The house is really a problem!" Old Chen said with emotion.

"Yeah, the house is really a big problem!" Wang Haifu echoed with emotion.

Allocating houses is an important benefit for employees of state-owned enterprises, but even if the Xiangyang Chemical Factory builds a thousand houses, it is impossible for Wang Weidong and Chen Jihong to have a share.

In terms of property rights, all houses are owned by enterprises or the state, and employees only have the right to use them, and cannot be bought or sold at all. Therefore, even if Wang Weidong wanted to buy a house, he couldn't buy it.

Now that Wang Weidong and his grandma are renting a room, after they get married, they can't let three people live on the same kang, right?So Wang Weidong wanted to rent a house again, a big house with two rooms.

"The two old men are both retired. They have nothing to do all day long. They will go out to look for a house starting tomorrow. The conditions are better. I don't care about money!" Wang Weidong said.

In the evening, Huang Guiying asked Wang Weidong to open the lid of the old wooden box, and she fumbled out four large dark brown glass bottles from the wooden box.

Wang Weidong knew this kind of bottle. It was a medicine bottle of Compound Licorice Tablets, which his grandma always took.

"Finally when you got married, your grandpa and I saved all the money we saved for decades. Take it all and buy whatever you want!" Huang Guiying said.

"That old lady of yours, if you have money in the bank, you can earn interest. You hide in a bottle to attract bugs!" Wang Weidong said angrily.

Because there was wax on the mouth of the medicine bottle and it hadn't been opened for a long time, the bottle cap and the bottle body had solidified together, so Chen Jihong spent a lot of effort to unscrew the four medicine bottles.

But the medicine bottle was full of money, and it took her a long time to stretch out two fingers to take out a few cards of Great Unity.

"It's really stupid, don't dig it out, I'll go find an ax!" Wang Weidong said.
