Great changes in the countryside

Chapter 308 Want to Get Married

After pondering for a few days, Chen Yang really thought of a trick.

Married to Chen Hongling.

In rural areas, even for the poorest families, marrying a daughter-in-law has to go through the trilogy of betrothal, betrothal and marriage.

There are also special circumstances, such as for auspicious days, or when the woman is pregnant, and so on.

Then the first two steps are combined into one step, or the last two steps are combined into one step, or the time interval between the three steps is very close.

But absolutely not three steps into one step.

Rural customs are complicated, some can be saved, and some cannot be born.

Chen Yang made up his mind to use marriage as a major event in his life to strengthen and expand his influence in the village.

In the evening, Chen Yang watched TV in the living room on the second floor.

This is the second TV set of Chen Yang's family, it is color, it is made in Shanghai Jinxing TV Factory, and it was bought through Ye Jing through the back door.

As for the big TV, it was moved to the yard for the villagers to watch every day, except on windy and rainy days.

As in the past, the eldest sister and the second brother worked overtime in the factory in the backyard.

Chen Hongling was taken care of and did not have to work overtime at night.

Chen Hongling was not allowed to do housework at home.

Chen Hongling knits a sweater, one for each of her grandparents and mother.

The one we are weaving now is for Chen Yang.

Chen Yang was half lying and half sitting on the sofa.

This couch, also bought not long ago, can seat three people.

Chen Hongling sat next to Chen Yang, holding a sweater that was not yet knitted, and gesticulating on Chen Yang.

Chen Yang didn't watch TV, his big eyes looked around on Chen Hongling's face.

"You don't watch TV, why are you watching me?" Chen Hongling said angrily.

"You know what I'm thinking?"

"You have a hundred ideas a day, who knows what you're thinking."

"you guess."

"I'm too lazy to guess, and I can't guess."

"I'm thinking, you and I should get married."

Chen Hongling looked at Chen Yang obsessively.

After a long time, Chen Hongling asked, "Yang, aren't you kidding me?"

"I was serious."

"Well, tell me, what do you think?"

Chen Yang said: "It's very simple, you will be my wife sooner or later. Since you are my wife, why don't I marry you sooner?"

Chen Hongling blushed, and said in a low voice, "Yang, I, I also hope that one day soon I will be justified."

Chen Yang also smiled badly: "Yes. I live next door, so I can only think about it, at least it will affect my sleep quality."

"Fuck you." Chen Hongling took the bamboo stick for knitting a sweater and poked Chen Yang lightly, "Hey, my parents have asked me, but I'm sorry to ask you."

"However, don't say it yet."

"why?"

"Later marriage is advocated now, you are old enough. But men have to be 25 years old, and I am only 23 years old. If I don't open the back door, I'm afraid I won't be able to register."

Chen Hongling nodded, "Then, what are you going to do?"

"You have to think of a very valid reason."

Chen Hongling thought for a while, "Yes, I have an idea."

"Oh, you said."

Chen Hongling said: "You type the application report and say that I am not in good health. In order to take better care of me, you plan to get married early."

This reason is valid, but Chen Yang shook his head and said: "This is not acceptable. Reiko, your illness is already cured, so we cannot say that you are sick."

"I will, Jan, it's settled."

The two muttered to each other and agreed on the arrangement of life's major events.

In the evening of the next day, Chen Yang went to the home of Xu Jufang, director of the Township Women's Federation.

Xu Jufang, 40 years old, from the county seat, was nicknamed "Veteran Cadre".

The origin of this nickname was her father, deputy county magistrate Xu. After her father retired, everyone gave this nickname to Xu Jufang.

At the age of 40, he is only a member of the township party committee, and he has been in Chencai Township for eight years. There is a reason for this.

Xu Jufang didn't graduate from junior high school, her culture is really not high, and she is very honest.

Therefore, when deputy county magistrate Xu was in office, he repeatedly blocked the promotion of his daughter, and sincerely asked the organization not to assign Xu Jufang to an important position.

Do as much work as you have ability.

Xu Jufang herself also thought clearly, she was down-to-earth, her work was not good, but she was not wrong.

Xu Jufang's husband, Du Wensheng, is also from the county seat. He is the principal of Chencai Middle School and has been in Chencai Township for eight years.

The couple has two children, a boy and a girl, both of whom are studying in high school in the county seat, and usually live at the grandfather's house or grandpa's house.

The couple's home is in the teacher's dormitory in Nantangjie Township.

When Chen Yang knocked on the door, the couple were having dinner.

Du Wensheng opened the door and welcomed Chen Yang into the house with a smile, "Old Xu, Chen Yang is here."

Xu Jufang greeted warmly, "Xiao Chen, come in quickly, come in quickly."

Chen Yang entered the door carrying something.

A jar of rice wine, two cigarettes.

Xu Jufang frowned, "Xiao Chen, you came here once during Chinese New Year, and now you are doing this again."

Chen Yang said confidently, "My cigarettes and alcohol are for my teacher, Director Xu, this has nothing to do with you."

Du Wensheng took the cigarettes and alcohol and laughed loudly, "Director Xu, you are out of words."

In fact, Du Wensheng had never been Chen Yang's teacher. When he was transferred to Chen Cai Middle School, Chen Yang had already graduated from junior high school.

But Chen Yang's second younger sister, third younger sister and younger brother are all students of Du Wensheng.

For the sake of his younger siblings, Chen Yang often dealt with Du Wensheng, and gradually became chess friends, and later became smokers and drinkers.

In Xu Jufang's words, the two are like-minded.

On the contrary, Xu Jufang, in public, Chen Yang was very measured and kept a proper distance.

"Yang, have you eaten?" Xu Jufang asked.

"Eat, eat. Director Xu, eat slowly, I'm fine."

Du Wensheng said with a smile: "If you say it's nothing, there must be something. Yang, I dare say, you didn't come to play chess with me tonight."

"Principal, you must." Chen Yang gave Du Wensheng a thumbs up.

Xu Jufang smiled and asked, "Okay. Tell me, Xiao Chen, what do you want from me?"

"I'm getting married..."

After hearing this, the couple were both happy for Chen Yang.

The love story between Chen Yang and Chen Hongling was talked about with great interest and praised by the couple.

Du Wensheng said: "Yang, you and Chen Hongling are both old enough to register for marriage directly. There is no need to find Director Xu."

Chen Yang said: "I'm planning to get married this year or next year. According to my age, I still can't meet the requirements for marriage, so I came to see Director Xu."

Xu Jufang said: "Getting married at 25 and having a child at 28 is advocacy, not compulsory. Xiao Chen, you are worrying too much. The above two are mainly aimed at party members and cadres."

Chen Yang scratched the back of his head, "But, I heard that there are other rules."

"Well, there is another rule. You can get married before the age of 25, but it is best to have children after the age of 25."

Chen Yang nodded his head.

Du Wensheng asked, "What if Xiao Chen violated it?"

"fine."

Du Wensheng smiled, "Things that can be settled with money are nothing."

Xu Jufang put down the bowl and chopsticks, looked at Chen Yang and asked with a smile, "Xiao Chen, can I ask you something?"
